The Growth of a God

Chapter 856 Catastrophe

"..."

Listening to Xuanjizi's story, Li Hao fell into silence.

When hearing about the history of the founding of the Qin Empire, Li Hao thought it was a standard template of an ascended being defying heaven to change his fate and then leading all living beings to rebel against the gods.

When Li Hao heard that the Qin Empire was vigorously developing technology and training Qi cultivators, he thought it was an immortal farming civilization.

When he heard that the players had arrived and brought enlightenment to the people, Li Hao thought that this world would have an ending where everyone would ascend to heaven and move towards universal harmony.

Until I heard Xuanjizi's last words.

Li Hao suddenly realized that this was actually a desperate and suffocating cyberpunk story?

The phrase "He who slays a dragon will eventually become a dragon" may not be accurate here, but it is the most appropriate adjective Li Hao can imagine.

"What happened after that? What happened in this world?"

After a long silence, Li Hao asked again.

Obviously, the story cannot end here. The Crazy Mountains where the two are now have already explained everything.

The Qin Empire has been destroyed.

The relics and remains of the Qin Empire are revealed everywhere you look.

Although it is not known whether there were any survivors of the empire who managed to survive after the destruction of the Qin Empire.

But based on what Li Hao has observed so far, he no longer holds much hope for the possibility that "there are still survivors."

"The catastrophe is a catastrophe."

Slowly standing up from in front of the headless female corpse, Xuanjizi continued in his cold voice.

"The advent of the Cataclysm ended the Age of Apocalypse and completely destroyed the Empire."

……………………………………………………………………………………………………

The Great Cataclysm. This is the only record of that disaster in Xuanjizi's database.

No one knows when the catastrophe occurred, and no one knows its origin.

The only thing that is certain is that all the cities in the empire collapsed in an instant, and the evil gods descended from the sky, bringing endless disasters and evil.

It was an indiscriminate massacre against the entire world. For the first time, gods and all living beings truly stood on the same front.

Unfortunately, as more and more gods fell from grace, endless disasters swept the earth, and in the end, no one could stand up like the Emperor to turn the tide.

As a result, the desperate people built steel fortresses on the earth, trying to make their last cry in this way.

Although this cry is so weak and so small, it is better than waiting for the massacre to come.

This is where Xuanjizi’s story ends.

What happens to this world after that is unclear.

Because those were not recorded in the database, but everything that happened in this crazy mountain is enough to explain everything.

If the empire's final resistance had been effective, this Crazy Mountain would not have been sealed for so many years, until the appearance of Li Hao awakened this last "survivor".

"Want to go out and take a look?"

Looking at Xuanjizi who was as cold as a machine, Li Hao suddenly asked.

“Go and see the world outside this mountain range and see if there are any other survivors in this world.”

Hearing this, Xuanjizi was obviously stunned for a moment, then turned to look at Li Hao.

"Are you not going to leave this world?"

Xuanjizi originally thought that after listening to the story of the catastrophe, Li Hao would choose to leave this world, just like those gods.

After all, in Xuanjizi's opinion, Li Hao was just a Qi cultivator who came to this world by chance.

After knowing the dangers of this world, according to normal logic, it should be impossible to continue staying in this world.

“I’m very interested in the history of this world.”

After a slight pause, Li Hao continued speaking with a smile on his face.

"And I didn't come to this world by accident. The 'Great Cataclysm' you mentioned is most likely one of the reasons why I came to this world."

Li Hao has not forgotten his previous guess—this world is most likely the world created by Daozu.

Regardless of whether this so-called "catastrophe" is related to Daozu, it does not prevent Li Hao from exploring the truth of this world.

"..."

Staring at Li Hao silently, Xuanjizi spoke only after he was sure that the other party was not joking.

"In that case, I am naturally willing to sacrifice my life to accompany you."

Although there is no clear master-disciple relationship, Xuanjizi has already regarded Li Hao as his elder in his heart. Of course, it is impossible for him to watch the other party take risks and remain indifferent.

Besides, is Xuanjizi really indifferent to what happens in this world?

Although Xuanjizi is a spirit of a "nuclear reactor", his body is made of alloy and intelligent machinery.

However, it was enlightened by the [Exquisite Pagoda of Heaven and Earth] and already possessed the same seven emotions and six desires as any living being.

The coldness on his face was just due to Xuanjizi's personality, not that he was truly ruthless and heartless.

If Xuanjizi was truly a heartless and desireless intelligent mechanical life form, it would be impossible for it to follow the rituals of the empire and inherit the will of the headless female corpse.

"Rising your life to accompany a gentleman?"

Li Hao smiled noncommittally and did not refute anything.

At this moment, Xuanjizi took the initiative to walk in front of Li Hao, and then bent down under his surprised gaze.

clack clack...

Accompanied by the rolling sound of bearings and mechanical gears.

Xuanjizi's body changed like a real machine.

It is hard to tell whether it is the transformation technique of the Qi Refiner, or the unique mechanical technology of the Qin Empire...

In just a blink of an eye, Xuanjizi turned into a low-altitude flying vehicle similar to a motorcycle.

And Xuanjizi's original head was actually the rudder of this aircraft.

"You...this is?"

Li Hao couldn't help but blink and asked in confusion.

"My body is made of 'Magic Composite Metal', the power system comes from the 'Nine Suns Central', and the chip also stores all the maps of the empire."

"If you want to explore this world, I can help you solve a lot of unnecessary troubles."

Faced with Xuanjizi's words, Li Hao didn't know what to say for a moment.

For some reason, Li Hao's mind suddenly flashed with the mounts that the gods in the traditional Chinese mythology system must have when they go out.

[If we really want to talk about mounts, this is much more fashionable than those sacred cows, unicorns, dragons and phoenixes. ]

Did not reject Xuanjizi's kindness.

Li Hao tentatively reached out and touched the aircraft in front of him, and its internal structure and capabilities instantly came to his mind.

Xuanjizi's current change is indeed not a simple transformation technique.

This is a special mechanical technique that was created by combining the technology of the Qin Dynasty. It once played an important role in the confrontation with the gods.
