Chapter 463 The Road to the Future
In fact, Yu Sheng knew that not only Eileen couldn't understand this, but others probably couldn't fully understand it either—because only he had established a "connection" with the seed of the asteroid, and much of the information conveyed by this connection was difficult to describe in words.

He had many conjectures and plans regarding the Dark Angels—not only how to deal with their threat, but also how to trace the origins of these "otherworldly visitors."

He is very interested in what is happening beyond the world and at the edge of the universe.

This "seed" from outside the world will be a breakthrough.

Yu Sheng still remembered what he saw in hyperspace, the "information megastructures" built by the "Creator" at the bottom layer of the universe, and the data and logic used to describe all things and define the laws and order. Although with his limited knowledge he could not yet understand how that information could support the operation of all things, at least one thing he now vaguely had a conjecture about:

Since this world is supported by those massive information structures, the essence of the invasion of the Dark Angels can perhaps be explained in one sentence: the information pollution caused by external objects entering this system.

In addition, Yu Sheng also remembered that Hu Li had said something similar about the idea that "the foundation of the world is information." It seems that in her home world, people's research on the laws of the universe has reached such a profound and fundamental level—which also confirms his current conjecture.

The fact that the "ascension cycle" of the diffractor was broken and a seed was successfully left behind proves that the "information pollution" phenomenon mentioned above is not uncontrollable. So, if this seed is allowed to grow, what use will its "transformed data characteristics" be...?

Behind the main building of the Fireplace Cathedral, there is a spacious open area.

Luna called this open space the "Garden of Souls." She and her knights built a large corridor around the courtyard, which encircled the entire area. The courtyard itself remains empty to this day. Her original plan was to erect a 40-meter-tall statue of Yu Sheng here, but this plan was shelved after Yu Sheng learned of it and went back to his hometown to plead for his life.

Now, Yu Sheng has dug a pit in the center of the "Soul Courtyard".

"Are you sure this thing can really be 'planted' like this and then grow something?" Eileen crossed her arms in the oil painting, looking at Yu Sheng busily working with a skeptical expression. "I'm not doubting your farming skills, it's just that this place... you used to think the flowers and plants here were all gray and ugly, so you brought in seeds from outside to try, but you found that nothing could grow here."

Listening to the little doll's chatter, Yu Sheng simply smiled confidently: "Don't worry, it will grow... In fact, not only here, but anywhere in this world, this seed can take root, because its essence is an 'information cluster.' What it needs is not soil and sunlight, but a 'license to operate.'"

“…I don’t understand what you’re saying, it’s all nonsense,” Eileen scratched her head, then looked at Yu Sheng burying the seeds in the hole and became a little worried again, “This thing really won’t go out of control, will it? I’ve seen it like that in movies, something about spores from outer space, strains dug out of mysterious ruins, embryos that fell from outer space, and scientists have to be crazy enough to activate it, and then a lot of people die, and it’s even listed in black boxes in the credits…”

Yu Sheng was diligently burying the soil with his head down when he heard the little thing's chatter and finally couldn't help but say, "Can't you make a good wish? Are you hoping I'll have bad luck?"

“I’m not just worried about what might happen… I’m worried about what, anyway, I’m quite worried,” Eileen climbed onto her big chair in the oil painting, picked up a plush bear and put it under her chin, her face wrinkled, “After all, you’re always courting death, and lately you’ve been dying more and more tragically.”

“Don’t worry, it won’t get out of control,” Yu Sheng glanced helplessly at the little doll. “In essence, this seed is actually the same as Shuji; it’s already a part of me. How to describe it… oh right, it’s a connection at the information level.”

As Eileen listened to Yu Sheng's explanation, her eyes gradually cleared.

But after Yu Sheng finished speaking, he seemed to suddenly remember something. He hesitated for a moment, then looked up and stared into the little doll's eyes.

"You said you're worried this thing will get out of control. Is it because you really have a premonition of something, like when you say I'm going to have a 'bloody disaster,' or is it just something you said casually?"

Eileen was startled by his sudden serious expression. She shrank back in her chair, then carefully examined Yu Sheng for a while. After that, she looked down at the place where the astral seed was buried, tilted her head and pondered for a long time before finally blurting out, "I just said it casually... I didn't see anything."

Yu Sheng was immediately relieved: "Oh, that's fine then."

Eileen stared blankly at the painting, then, seemingly lost in thought, suddenly perked up and turned to the blonde girl beside her: "Hey! Look at this C-shaped button! Yu Sheng even consults me about this kind of thing—let me tell you, I'm a professional in the field of mysticism, unlike you who only knows how to kill people. I'm a strategist, a strategist, you know…"

Luna sighed, muttering under her breath as she walked away, annoyed, "So what if he's an idiot..."

As a result, Eileen didn't hear clearly and continued to gloat in mid-air.

Yu Sheng then carefully sprinkled the last shovelful of soil onto the star-evolving seed, and then let out a soft sigh of relief.

The seed is sleeping lightly in the soil, seemingly not yet awakened from its dream of lush growth, but it has gradually become aware of the existence of the "soil"—a gentle, safe place that is willing to let it take root and grow.

Yu Sheng could feel that the surface of the crystal was gradually rippling with subtle waves. It was trembling gently and extending out tiny crystal branches in the darkness, which were barely visible to the naked eye.

After that, it will slowly become familiar with this place, take root in the wilderness of the soul, sprout and grow. It will absorb the nutrients that Yu Sheng provides for it and grow into... the form in that beautiful dream. "That's enough." Yu Sheng clapped his hands, turned his head, and his gaze fell on Yun Qingzi again.

The old man had remained silent throughout, observing Yu Sheng's every move with curiosity and seriousness. Only now did he stroke his beard and let out a soft sigh: "The path to enlightenment is boundless..."

"I don't understand whether it's true or not," Yu Sheng waved his hand, "Let's talk about you instead, what are your plans for the future?"

Yun Qingzi was clearly taken aback.

He stared at Yu Sheng for a long while before suddenly blurting out, "Isn't it to refine my soul and then send me to reincarnation?"

This time, Yu Sheng was clearly taken aback.

"...I don't know how!"

Yun Qingzi: "...Huh?!"

The old man exclaimed "Ah?", and Yu Sheng knew this was a huge misunderstanding. He quickly waved his hands while racking his brains for a while, trying to figure out how to explain his situation to Yun Qingzi. After thinking for a long time, he finally spoke:
"Here's the situation. You are indeed dead, but I stopped you halfway through your death, so you are now a 'living' spirit. And judging from your description, you should have fully recovered all of 'Yun Qingzi's' self. You are free now, and with your cultivation, even as a spirit, you should be able to live well after you leave."

"So now you can choose for yourself. You can stay here, but to be honest, you may not be able to get used to this place. You can also go out. I can open the door and send you to the real world, either Shuji or Taixu Lingshu."

"Of course, if you're really tired of living and insist on dying, that's fine too. I'll spray you with blood again, then dismantle your spirit body completely, and you'll die. This time, I can guarantee I'll dismantle it cleanly, with no risk of resurrection..."

Yu Sheng's words were quite blunt, leaving Yun Qingzi somewhat stunned.

Seeing that the old man didn't react for a while, Yu Sheng spoke again: "What, are you sure you want to die?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Yun Qingzi came to his senses and waved his hand, saying, "Then forget it. I think it's better to be alive than dead."

Yu Sheng laughed: "Then shall I send you back to the Spiritual Pivot of the Great Void?"

This time, Yun Qingzi thought about it seriously, but a trace of helplessness appeared on his face: "Alas, it's good... but not good either. I don't have many old acquaintances left in the Taixu Spiritual Pivot, and I really owe the Taixu Spiritual Pivot a lot in terms of the 'Star Derivation Body Disaster'. Going back... I really don't know how I can face going back."

Hearing the old man's words, Yu Sheng couldn't help but ask curiously, "Didn't you seem quite carefree when you were telling me in the Star Entity's memory space? You said things like you were already utterly wicked, and that a little more bloodshed wouldn't make a difference... Why are you so conflicted now?"

Yun Qingzi shrugged and spoke very frankly: "Back then, I never expected to come back to life—since I'm already dead, I should speak with some backbone."

Yu Sheng: "..."

Is this the real Yun Qingzi?

He was slightly surprised, then heard Yun Qingzi speak again: "To be honest, fellow Daoist, I am indeed somewhat... lost right now. It is said that life and death are the most unfathomable and unforgettable things, and this matter of life and death... my cultivation is indeed still a bit shallow. Now I don't know how to 'return to the mortal world,' nor do I know what to do in the future. If I had to say..."

Yun Qingzi paused for a moment and let out a soft sigh.

"Ah, I'm tired, very tired. I have no great ambitions now, I just want a quiet place to rest. If there were a secluded valley in the mountains where I could build a hut, that would be great. Or if you, my fellow Daoist, have any leisurely tasks, I would be willing to do them."

Yu Sheng blinked as he listened to the other person's words. After thinking for a few seconds, he suddenly clapped his hands and exclaimed, "Hey, you know what..."

Yun Qingzi immediately raised her head.

Yu Sheng: "I have an orphanage here, and we need a security guard..."
