Resurrection of all mankind

Chapter 305: Death and Rebirth

"Ah"

Seeing Xie Shen asking this question, Ancestor Wan Xin couldn't help but smile bitterly and said, "Do you think you want to spend so much effort to do these things?"

"It's because the 'Supreme Forgetfulness Technique' can't remove the black mist in the body."

"As a last resort, I thought of using the Hidden Sky Technique to avoid being chased by the indescribable creatures."

The Supreme Forgetfulness Technique cannot remove the black mist? ?

Xie Shen was stunned when he heard this and said, "But you are not. Haven't you already made up for the shortcomings of that technique?"

Elder Wan Xin explained: "The Supreme Forgetfulness Technique has two flaws."

"The first flaw is that once the memory and emotional bodies are separated, they can never be integrated again."

“I have made up for this deficiency.”

"That's why I have the ability to devour others and merge their memories with my own."

That's it!

Xie Shen thought for a moment and said, "It was with this ability that you were able to devour my friend Deng Bin?"

"good."

Ancestor Wan Xin nodded and continued, "Let's talk about the second flaw."

"The second flaw of the Supreme Forgetfulness Technique is that even if the memory body and the emotional body are integrated again, it still cannot eliminate the black mist in the body."

"In other words, this technique created by Emperor Tianye is just a name in name only."

"It's because I have a high enough talent and good luck that I was able to deduce the method of swallowing and fusion from this technique."

"Only then can this technique be of some use."

The two were talking.

Under the erosion of the terrifying aura of the unspeakable creature, the damage to the body of Ancestor Wanxin has become increasingly serious.

His body gradually disappeared.

Even less than half of the head was left.

Because he had lost his mouth, at this moment, Patriarch Wan Xin could only use his spiritual consciousness to communicate with Xie Shen.

Similarly.

Xie Shen, who had been indescribably ravaged to the point of being unrecognizable, could only communicate with Ancestor Wanxin using his spiritual sense.

He followed the words of Patriarch Wanxin and said, "I just don't understand."

"You are the first human being to awaken in this spiritual world. You even cultivated to the fusion stage on your own without a teacher."

"From this perspective, your talent and aptitude should not be much weaker than Dunbin's."

"So why is it that Deng Bin was able to cultivate the Hidden Sky Art to perfection, but you can't do it?"

"You don't know, fellow Daoist," Elder Wan Xin explained, "To practice the Hidden Sky Art, in addition to having the required aptitude and comprehension, you also need to have a pure heart."

"In other words, people who practice this technique must have no distracting thoughts while practicing."

"I'm too old." Elder Wan Xin said with a hint of helplessness in his tone: "Compared to Deng Bin, I'm too old and have experienced too many things. Now it's difficult for me to reach the state of being as focused as Deng Bin."

“So that’s what I mean.”

Elder Wan Xin concluded, "It is actually beneficial for a person to be simple-minded and not scheming in some ways."

"Although this kind of people are easily deceived, they are more efficient than people like us when practicing martial arts, and they can achieve twice the result with half the effort."

When we talked about this.

Under the destruction of the indescribable breath of the creature, the body of Ancestor Wanxin has been completely destroyed.

Without a body to attach to, even the most powerful soul will quickly dissipate into thin air over time.

Even cultivators in the fusion stage are no exception.

Xie Shen could clearly feel:

The consciousness of the old ancestor Wanxin, whose body was destroyed, was becoming weaker and weaker at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Of course.

His own consciousness was also becoming increasingly weak.

"I'm about to die," said Elder Wan Xin with a tone of reluctance and nostalgia, "Logically speaking, people who have lived to my age should have already put life and death aside. When facing death, they should be able to just laugh it off."

"But in fact, I am really unwilling to accept it!"

"I am really just one step away from breaking through to the Return to Void Stage."

"By then, my life span will be greatly extended."

"I will regain my youth, and at the same time, my nine thousand years will no longer be an old age."

“But what a pity.”

"Ugh"

In the end, all of Patriarch Wanxin’s thousands of words turned into that one long sigh.

He was talking to himself there, and seeing that Xie Shen not far away had remained silent, he asked tentatively.

"Fellow?"

"Friend, are you still there?"

No one responded.

“Ha!” Seeing that Xie Shen’s aura had completely disappeared, Elder Wan Xin laughed and said, “Xie Shen, Xie Shen.”

"In the end, you were one step ahead of me."

"In the end, it was my Ancestor Wanxin who won this duel!"

talking.

He suddenly said in great sorrow: "But at the same time, my ancestor Wanxin also lost."

"After all, you Earthlings have a resurrection technique that allows you to revive infinitely."

“And I didn’t.”

"It's a pity that I'm not from Earth."

Above the wilderness.

After saying this last sentence, Patriarch Wanxin finally couldn't hold on any longer, and his soul took a step back and soon dissipated between heaven and earth.

...

Time is like an arrow, the sun and the moon are like a shuttle.

In a trance.

I don’t know how much time has passed.

It seemed like there was only a moment between closing and opening my eyes, yet it also seemed as long as a thousand or ten thousand years.

...

When Xie Shen's consciousness regained consciousness in the endless darkness, he only heard an electronic synthesized sound ringing in his ears.

【被复活者谢深，生于1999年2月23日1时13分。】

Immediately afterwards, Xie Shen found himself resurrected in a futuristic, sci-fi laboratory.

And it's not just him.

Dunbin was also resurrected by electronic synthesized sounds at this moment.

【被复活者邓宾，生于2035年8月1日9时13分。】

"here it is"

After being resurrected, the Dunbin people were a little confused, so they instinctively asked a question.

After a few seconds.

I heard a familiar voice coming from not far away. "This is a laboratory on the Black Worm Star."

"This laboratory was built by the replica of Li Xiu that he left on Earth. After fleeing to the Black Worm Star, he led some Earthlings to build it."

The one who spoke was Zhuge Fu, who was temporarily serving as the leader of the Human Alliance.

In the laboratory.

After hearing Zhuge Fu's answer, Xie Shen and Deng Bin both looked at him.

Xie Shen, one of the two, immediately asked, "What year is it now? How long have Deng Bin and I been dead?"

Zhuge Fu said methodically, "I remember that when you left the Emotion Tower and returned to Aldebaran to look for Dunbin, it was still 6425 AD."

"And now, it is already the year 6435 AD."

Has it been ten years?
After hearing his answer, a hint of reminiscence flashed in Xie Shen's eyes.

He thought for a moment and said, "After Dunbin and I entered the spiritual world, we practiced there for about a year."

"That is, from 6425 AD, I continued to practice until the end of 6426 AD."

"Afterwards, Dunbin was killed by a fusion-stage cultivator from the spiritual world."

"In order to eliminate the trouble forever, I risked my life to kill the cultivator in the Fusion Stage."

"When I was resurrected, I was already in this laboratory."

Xie Shen finally concluded: "According to this calculation, Deng Bin and I have been dead for more than nine years."

not far away.

Deng Bin, who was standing on the strange geometric pattern used for resurrection magic and trying to make sense of it all, frowned after hearing what Xie Shen said.

"no??"

"We have actually been dead for more than nine years?"

"Zhugefu, why don't you try to revive us during this time?"

"Alas," Zhuge Fu spread his hands and said helplessly, "It's not that I won't revive you, it's mainly because I couldn't have predicted this."

"Who would have thought that you, as cultivators in the Fusion Stage, who are among the best in the entire Milky Way, would actually be killed by someone?"

"But," Dunbin continued, "we have lost contact with you for more than nine years."

"We haven't contacted you or the headquarters for such a long time. Don't you realize that there is a problem?"

"I didn't think you were in seclusion," Zhuge Fu replied, "Let alone you cultivators in the Fusion Stage, even cultivators in the Spiritualization Stage and Nascent Soul Stage often go into seclusion for more than ten years, right?"

"If I hadn't suddenly had an idea recently and thought that you were all very likely dead, so I tried to revive you, otherwise, you might still be queuing in the underworld, still in hell!"

"If there is a hell in this world."

Fine.

Since Zhuge Fu said so, Deng Bin no longer dwelled on this issue.

he asked instead.

"That"

"During the time between the death of Xie Shen and I, what major events have occurred in the entire Milky Way and in our human alliance?"

In the laboratory.

Zhuge Fu thought for a moment and then replied, "It's not a big deal. After all, it's only been nine years since your death."

"During this period of time, our Human Alliance - that is, the humans of the Aldebaran star system, as well as the members of the Secret Society under Su Xing, the members of the Supervisory Committee under Geng Yi, and the humans from Jingchen Star and Huanrang Star."

"In order to avoid the great catastrophe of ten thousand years, we have been moving almost non-stop towards the edge of the Milky Way."

Zhuge Fu emphasized: "Now, we have migrated to a galaxy called the Black Worm Galaxy, located at the edge of the Milky Way."

"Then the planet we are currently on is called Black Worm Planet."

"According to the estimates of the researchers in our laboratory, it is expected that in no more than twenty years, that is, around the year 6456, the great catastrophe will spread all the way to our Black Worm Star."

"By then, the Agents will surely come and cause trouble for us again along with the Ten Thousand Years Great Disaster."

"By then, it will probably be the final decisive battle between our generation of walkers."

"After all, we are now at the edge of the Milky Way. It can be said that we have reached a point of no return."

“We don’t have a choice.”

On the resurrection formation engraved with strange geometric patterns.

After listening to Zhuge Fu's narration, Dunbin smiled bitterly and said, "I never thought that the situation of our human alliance has become so serious."

"It's a pity that after Xie Shen and I came back to life, we have lost all our previous cultivation."

"There's nothing we can do to help."

"Let's take a step back and say that even if we can recover to our previous level of fusion cultivation in 20 years."

"But the question is, what can the fusion period change?"

Deng Bin said pessimistically.

"At that time, we, the cultivators in the Fusion Stage, were unable to defend the Aldebaran star system."

"Now that we have arrived at the Black Bug Galaxy, can we defend it?"

"Ugh"

Finally, he ended with a helpless sigh.

Seeing Deng Bin's expression, Xie Shen said with a smile: "Actually, our resurrection from the dead is not a bad thing at all."

"Ah?" Deng Bin was stunned when he heard this and asked, "What do you mean?"

Xie Shen explained: "It is not that difficult for a cultivator in the late stage of fusion to break through to the stage of returning to the void."

"The real difficulty is how the cultivators who have broken through to the Return to Void Stage and have the power of origin in their bodies can avoid being hunted down by indescribable creatures."

"If this problem cannot be solved, the Return to Void stage monks will have to stay in places like the spiritual world or the secret world for eternity, where there are no indescribable creatures."

“If you force your head out and force yourself out of this small world, you will be immediately besieged by numerous indescribable creatures, and eventually die.”

Xie Shen continued, “As for solving this problem, it is not that difficult. When a cultivator in the Fusion Stage breaks through to the Return to Void Stage, he only needs to remove all the black mist in his body in advance, so that the unspeakable creatures cannot track you through the black mist. In this way, you can rest assured.”

"Ah?" Deng Bin was stunned again when he heard this and said, "How is it possible to remove all the black mist from the body?"

"Once the black mist is absorbed by monks like us, it will be like being integrated into our blood, connecting our skin and bones. Unless we all die, it is impossible for the black mist to be removed from our bodies."

"You know this, too."

“Yes,” Xie Shen continued Deng Bin’s words, “Once the black mist is inhaled into the body of cultivators like us, it is almost impossible to remove it.”

"But the question is, haven't we absorbed the black mist yet?"

"Aren't we both still ordinary people at the moment?"

"As long as we maintain this pure state and cultivate to the Return to Void Stage in one go, then we don't have to worry about getting rid of the black fog, right?"

Ah this
Deng Bin frowned and said, "If we practice from the Qi Training Stage to the Return to Void Stage without absorbing any black mist during this period, then what should we absorb?"

"Spiritual energy, or to absorb the power of the law?"

"The problem is that these two powers also come from indescribable creatures."

"We can't just skip these steps and absorb the power of origin directly, right?"

"Why not?" Xie Shen asked Deng Bin, "You and I have been practicing in the abyss of the 'Wu' spiritual world for more than a year."

"During this year, you and I have mastered the methods and tricks of absorbing the power of origin."

"Since you have mastered the method, why can't you directly absorb the power of origin to practice?"

Well.
Deng Bin touched the back of his head and said, "Actually, to be precise, you are the only one who has mastered the method of absorbing the original power."

"As for me"

"It only took me a month or so to comprehend the origin."

"After that, I devoted all my remaining time to practicing the Hidden Sky Technique."
