A female-oriented system, but the worldview is a little off?

“So, when basic technological capabilities were developed, progress fell into a boring stagnation.”

"So the focus is really going to shift to things like spectacles ruining the country?"

What caught everyone’s attention——

It was a train.

A steam locomotive built to be majestic and magnificent.

The complicated rivets, the heavy steel appearance, and the magnificent body made of iron sheets symbolize retro romance.

It is about twice the height of an ordinary train, with a complex yet simple and crude mechanical structure, and a large smoke pipe raised high.

They all seem to pull people away from the background of the modern city.

- Re-immerse yourself in the steam age full of romance and fantasy, danger and prosperity, the best and the worst.

[Victoria Export - Passenger Train - Model 178].

A long stretch of railway track.

Towards the exit station, which made people feel inexplicably cold even though the sunlight was still shining, it seemed to extend endlessly forward.

Chu Yan stared at the steam train in front of him with concentration and interest.

Good, good, the wonder that misleads the country is really cool.

He had already made up his mind.

Maybe the protagonist of this short story is not just a means of transportation...

But the place that symbolizes the empire on which the sun never sets is called Victoria in this world.

After his college has a long vacation, he will definitely find a chance to broaden his horizons!

139-The right time, the right place, and the right people

"The time has come."

The clouds are floating and the fairy mist is lingering.

The magnificent vermilion pavilions rose up in layers, and above the clouds in the sky, a magnificent and endless palace was built.

Through the vermilion door, one can see countless immortals chatting and laughing.

Their words were profound and difficult to understand, and the Taoist magic could be seen everywhere with the wave of their hands. Their robes were spotless, and their feather fans fluttered.

It is like a paradise on earth - attracting aspiring people from all over the world to worship it, and it surpasses millions of living beings.

An old man in white clothes and white eyebrows walked slowly down the street, the whisk at his side changing with the wisps of mist.

In his ears.

Only vague voices could be heard from the immortals around, and the content was as stiff and empty as a puppet, as if they were following a predetermined script.

Of course.

Because those souls don't really exist.

In other words, they survived...but still could not escape the death of that collapse.

Just like those seemingly endless buildings.

It seems endless and magnificent.

But it was like a mirage, just a reflection of time with power, and even the door could not be entered.

The former splendor no longer exists.

In that disaster that caused the loss of the orthodox tradition, most of the power collapsed and perished.

Peach Garden, Yaochi, Lingxiao Palace, Yuxu Palace...

——Today's "Heaven" has emerged again from the ancient dust, like an illusory reflection in a rusty bronze mirror.

"It must be said that these ignorant mortals have not achieved nothing in the past thousands of years."

An old, hoarse voice sounded calmly, and an old man with white eyebrows and a white robe walked through the streets of historical shadows.

He shook his head.

He said in a hoarse voice: "While our Heavenly Court is in deep sleep due to the heavy damage, we will take the opportunity to destroy the foundations of those ownerless souls one by one."

"Whenever the remaining will of the Heavenly Court is about to awaken, it will reset the already polluted era to zero through the method of 'changing dynasties'."

"Once again, we have lost our target of erosion."

“It halted the recovery.”

"This has been repeated for thousands of years, and the struggle has lasted for thousands of years. Success is almost here, like swallowing up a whale, achieving such an arrogant feat of changing the world with the body of an ant."

The old man said slowly.

He had crossed the street and walked to the original vermilion door.

There is endless swirling clouds before my eyes.

I don’t know when.

Four gorgeously dressed men and women half-kneeling on the ground, and behind them a dozen disciples and followers wearing simpler robes.

As if he had been waiting here for a long time, he was silently waiting for the arrival of the white-browed old man.

——The four magical treasures, which were surrounded by thick flesh and blood——and were auspicious and majestic, symbolized the noble [True Immortal] status of the four leaders.

The old man didn't look at them at all.

He still walked forward leisurely.

Holding the whisk in his hand, he gently waved it towards the clouds and mist under his feet as if sweeping away dust.

Call——

The silent wind blew up, and the thick and heavy clouds were easily blown away.

The scenery thousands of miles away appears before your eyes.

That is by no means a purely physical distance - it is mixed with distorted rules, a "distant" that is absolutely unattainable in terms of mysterious concepts.

The reason why the root of [vision] is immortal.

That's because it is part of the foundation on which the world can be built.

"What a pity.....there is only one step left, the finishing touch."

The old man paused for a moment and said slowly: "Only one step is left, and those humans may succeed."

He casually put his hands together to form a finger.

Behind him, the divination spirit plate that Chen Suanzi had previously regarded as a trump card was casually summoned by him.

I saw the compass move.

"I see. Is this an invitation?"

The old man's wrinkled mouth let out a faint laugh.

He spoke gently: "Or is it... a trap with no intention of concealing it?"

The right time, the right place, the right people.

At this moment, in his empty and nihilistic vision, there is a city’s “destiny” on this land.

Just like the bright stars in the night sky, they were suddenly lit up unscrupulously.

On the fate of that city.

This indicates that there will be nearly ten young seedlings who will be surrounded by great luck, great opportunities, and whose fate is mixed with a complex but heavy destiny.

They are about to be gathered into one city.

It's not only related to this land, but also involves other places, those "ancient" things that are also gradually reviving.

——If it is broken and absorbed, it can become a part of the flesh and blood of the now revived Heaven.

This is a great gift package experience delivered to your door.

Once it is opened, even without replenishing nutrition, it can cause trouble to other ancient mysteries and cut off their future outstanding karma.

For the Heavenly Court, it is already a choice of great strategic value.

Not only that.

In the scene predicted by the old man, the destiny of the city was looming.

I also saw a layer of illusory film.

Obviously, ever since the Heaven returned to the world, it has been hindering their goal of massive encroachment.

Even the old man didn't know where it came from, but he could vaguely sense the threatening film.

There is a secret about it - also hidden somewhere in that city.

The white-browed old man lowered his eyes and closed them.

"As long as that film is gone... For the land that is now once again filled with evil spirits and evil, those ignorant and rebellious people will be in trouble."

“They will no longer be blinded and will once again witness the reverence of the Immortal Lord.”

One of the powers possessed by heaven.

It is to establish a sect, to reproduce and thrive on the earth, and it is the "qualification" that every mortal can have to become an immortal.

in this regard.

Before the collapse of Heaven, there was only that ray of light located in the far west, whose mind had already fallen into madness.

It was only when they were recruiting believers and fictitiously establishing the Holy See that they could be compared to it to a certain extent.

In the vision of the white-browed old man with his eyes closed...

Countless futures unfolded before him.

The collapse of reinforced concrete... the whole city fell into a lingering wonderland... blood and flesh covered the buildings... the shattered curtain made the sky and the earth dark...

Countless people with blurred faces are fighting.

There is the boy who fired the gun with indifference, the pistol pressed to his jaw before his hands were stained with blood and his consciousness was contaminated;

A witch with long grey hair and divine words, who was taken away for protection by the Yellow Spring Palm that broke through the underworld before she died;

The bodies of employees wearing the uniforms of a certain organization were scattered all over the ground.

People walked into the streets with dazed eyes, enveloped by the majestic Taoist spirit, kneeling on the ground with their hands clasped together, praying to the heavens for blessings...

That is the future, the destiny, the reflection of the fragments.

The white-browed old man opened his eyes with a smile.

He waved his sleeves and flicked the whisk.

Invisibly, there seemed to be a clicking sound, as if fragments of time and space were frozen.

suddenly.

A calamity cloud fell from the sky, covering the old man completely!

The human flesh was burned by the thunder, emitting a crackling and foul smell, and the already old skin became even more shriveled like charcoal.

The spreading lightning snakes rushed in all directions, and the shocking force almost turned the surrounding area within a hundred miles into scorched earth.

The expressions of the many immortals who were half-kneeling on the ground changed slightly, and they almost fled in panic.

It was the four people in the lead who made the move with gloomy faces.

They each used their magic weapon to block the lightning that seemed to split the sky open just one step away.

Another long while passed.

The calamity clouds in the sky gradually dissipated.

The old man in white and dust-free clothes was still holding the light and ethereal whisk, standing there as if nothing had happened.

Only the clouds and mists spread all around...
