I am at the highest level, living a life of eating and waiting to die in the fairy world of supernat

After hearing the empress's suggestion, even Gu Jiu was stunned, but he quickly reacted and replied, "I refuse."

"Reason?" Wu Mei asked.

"You are too old." Gu Jiu said.

Wu Mei let out a long breath and said coldly, "I regret my choice yesterday."

Chapter 38 Captain

Wu Mei was joking, and Gu Jiuhui was also joking, so this conversation was no different from a joke.

Because of this conversation, the atmosphere between the most powerful man and woman in the world became much more relaxed.

Wu Mei's outfit today was not as casual and fresh as yesterday. She was wearing a red dragon and phoenix robe, with the hem of her skirt spread on the ground, like a phoenix spreading its wings to fly.

Gu Jiu stood there for a while, and when he found that the other party had no intention of preparing a chair for him, he directly took out the ancestral rattan chair from the Haoyu Sword and lay down.

Wu Mei glanced at the lying Gu Jiu and said, "You really are as lazy as the legend says."

Gu Jiu said: "You fought all day yesterday. You must be very tired, okay?"

Wu Mei didn't look at Gu Jiu anymore. She looked at the mighty city that belonged to her and said calmly, "How much do you know about this world?"

Gu Jiu frowned slightly and replied, "Not much."

Wu Mei said directly: "I might as well tell you that men in this world are much duller than women in talent, but that doesn't mean they can't practice. You are the best example.

Jing'e has done many things, such as killing male practitioners who have achieved some success and using human lives to feed evil creatures. I know all of this, but I didn't care about her because these things are just trivial matters to me."

Gu Jiu frowned and said unhappily, "A small matter?"

Wu Mei's expression remained unchanged as she said, "I know this isn't a small matter to you. The fact that you came here for some townspeople proves that you really care about these things.

But for me, as long as it doesn’t harm the foundation of the entire human race, it is a small matter.

Because if the land where our entire human race lives is a huge island, then I would like to say that this island is about to sink."

After hearing the word "island", Gu Jiu's expression suddenly became serious.

He had heard this statement in Taohua An before. The True Buddha's clone said that this piece of land became yang because of the underground yang spring, while the chaotic world outside was yin. If you think about it carefully, it looks like an island in the sea.

Humans live on this island and know nothing about the outside world.

And the Empress just said that the island is about to sink. What does that mean?

The Empress noticed that Gu Jiu looked a little serious and said, "This is absolutely not alarmist. You should know that the reason why this land is suitable for human survival is because..."

"Spring of Pure Yang." Gu Jiu said what the empress wanted to say.

The empress couldn't help but raise her eyebrows and said, "You know a little more than I thought."

Gu Jiu nodded and said, "I've heard this before. This world was originally a chaos, where only terrifying beasts and monsters could survive. Until one day, a spring of pure yang gushed out from the ground, forming an orderly world and giving birth to humans."

Wu Mei narrowed her eyes slightly and said, "I didn't expect that there are still people in this world who know this story, and then?"

Gu Jiu replied, "He said that the world formed by the Pure Yang Spring is becoming increasingly fragile, and is constantly being swallowed by the chaos outside..."

Speaking of this, Gu Jiu's mind emerged with the scene of the island being continuously swallowed by the sea.

Is this what Wu Mei meant when she said the island was about to sink?

Wu Mei looked at Gu Jiu and said, "No more?"

Gu Jiu replied: "No more."

"In fact, the situation is much more serious than you describe."

"how do I say this?"

"Because the Pure Yang Spring is almost dry, even if the chaos outside does not devour this land faster, humans will perish." The empress looked into the distance and said this lightly.

Gu Jiu thought for a while and said, "But so far, this world has not shown any signs of collapse."

Wu Mei shook her head and said, "We can't say it's collapsed. We can only say that this world has taken shape, just like a seriously ill person lying in bed, waiting to die."

It is hard to imagine that these are words spoken by the greatest leader of the world, because they are too pessimistic.

"Do you feel that the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is gradually becoming thinner?" Wu Mei suddenly asked.

Gu Jiu shook his head, indicating that he didn't know.

He has never really studied the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

"The foundation of the human race is cultivation. Even the immortals, Buddhas, and gods are all derived from human cultivation. The foundation of cultivation is the Pure Yang Spring and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth transformed from the Pure Yang Spring.

Without spiritual energy, the human race will find it difficult to make any progress in their cultivation, and the human race will also be unable to move forward."

Hearing this, Gu Jiu finally realized the seriousness of the problem and said, "You mean, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth will become less and less, until no new practitioners appear."

Wu Mei nodded and said, "That's the truth. You should know that the number of sages in the Tang Kingdom has been decreasing with each generation. Most people think it's due to talent and luck, but it's not.

"The disciple surpasses the master" is a rule, but it doesn't apply to the world of cultivation. Without the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, cultivation is like a tree without roots; how can it grow? I even dare to assert that unless there are drastic changes in the future, there will probably be no new saints in this world.

You should know that only after reaching the seventh level, the Radiant Realm, can one utilize the power of the stars and break free from dependence on spiritual energy. Before the Radiant Realm, the foundation of everything is the spiritual energy of heaven and earth."

Gu Jiu frowned and said, "In other words, the entire cultivation world will become a stagnant pool."

Wu Mei nodded and said, "You have seen how many evil beings there are in this world. If the number of human cultivators decreases day by day and the cultivation level of cultivators does not improve at all, you should know what the consequences will be.

That’s what I said, in my eyes, all your problems are trivial.”

Gu Jiu gradually began to understand what Wu Mei meant.

Yes, in this case, the whole world will really become an island that is gradually swallowed by the "sea water", not only on the outside but also on the inside.

Seeing Gu Jiu lost in thought, Wu Mei couldn't help but raise an eyebrow and said, "But you are an outlier, so I want to know how you have such power. Judging from your knowledge and temperament, you don't seem like an old ghost who has been reincarnated."

Gu Jiu did not hide it and answered: "Born to be a saint."

Hearing this, Wu Mei understood and couldn't help but smile, saying, "You really deserve a beating for what you said."

Yeah, he really deserves a beating. There are too many geniuses in this world who have been struggling to achieve something, and still can't get it even at the end of their lives, but this guy has it since he was born.

It seems that Gu Jiu is really an anomaly in the world.

However, thinking about her previous speculation, Wu Mei could accept it, but she felt a little complicated.

Gu Jiu thought for a moment and said, "Is there any solution to this problem? You don't seem like someone who would just sit there and wait for death."

Wu Mei said naturally, "Of course I won't sit idly by and wait for death in this matter. If the entire empire is a ship, then I am the undisputed captain, and a captain will not wait for death."

Chapter 39 is interesting

"The captain will not wait to die." - This is an affirmative sentence, a very affirmative one.

In fact, there are many captains in this world who find that nothing they do can help at the last moment and choose to wait for death, but there are more captains who will fight until the last moment of their lives when facing danger.

Obviously, the empress is the latter.

This broken ship in the huge storm needs a good captain to create a miracle.

Gu Jiu couldn't think of anyone in the world who was more suitable to do this than Wu Mei, although he felt that there was something else behind her words.

Wu Mei looked ahead, her dark eyes facing the sunlight, making her whole body look like she was burning.

"Thousands of years ago, immortals and Buddhas gradually became extinct. It was not because they grew old or died, but because they sensed the crisis in advance and went to the chaos outside to find a shore more suitable for human beings." Wu Mei said with some heaviness.

Gu Jiu, who was lying there, sat up at this time and said, "But they haven't come back yet."

Wu Mei nodded and said, "Yes, they didn't come back. Almost everyone believed that the immortals and Buddhas had died outside. In fact, they had found the other shore two thousand years ago."

"What?" Gu Jiu almost stood up.

Yes, there are really not many things in this world that can make Gu Jiu so excited that he wants to stand up.

Wu Mei said, "Four hundred years ago, a ship arrived from beyond the West Sea. Strangely, the ship was made of a yellow jade. This jade was very heavy, yet the ship was able to swim across from the chaos beyond the West Sea."

When it arrived at a ferry crossing in the West Sea, the hull was covered with scars of various sizes, as if countless giant beasts and evil spirits had attacked it.

At that time, the fishermen at the ferry thought it was a ghost ship, but some brave people still sneaked in and found an extremely thin man.

If I had to describe this person, it would be that he almost didn't even have any bones, and his entire body was just like a piece of skin.

But this person is still alive and says he wants to see the most powerful person here.

When the head of the Xihaiqin Pavilion heard the news, she was very interested and went there alone. Then she heard a story that kept her awake all night.

Gu Jiu was already in high spirits when Wu Mei asked, "We've been talking for so long, would you like some tea?"

After hearing this, Gu Jiu wanted to curse, "A dog that breaks the chapter will never be of any use!"

Finally, the empress really sat down and drank tea.

She did not sit on a chair, but sat on the ground, with her long white legs hanging outside the Ganlin Terrace, looking a little innocent for a moment.

Thinking that the empress's tea was naturally extraordinary, Gu Jiu naturally started drinking it.

But when he took a sip of the tea, he only felt bitterness.

Extremely painful!

Looking at Gu Jiu's face that looked like it was about to cry, Wu Mei couldn't help but smile, and her smile was somewhat charming.

She took a sip of the bitterest "black bitter tea" in the world and continued, "The head of the West Sea Qin Pavilion at that time was called Li Mengyao. When she arrived at the ship, the man who seemed to be only a skin away was almost dead.

At the last moment of his life, the man told Li Mengyao that he came from a place called "Sea of ​​Bitterness", which is the other shore mentioned by Buddha.

Although it is called the 'Sea of ​​Bitterness', it is a true paradise.

The Sea of ​​Bitterness is rich in resources, full of spiritual energy from heaven and earth, and extremely vast. Chaos is isolated outside, making it the most suitable place for human survival.

The immortals and Buddhas found that place two thousand years ago. They went through untold hardships and were almost lost in the chaos several times before they found the Sea of ​​Bitterness.

When the immortals and Buddhas arrived there, only a few of the huge group that had set out were left, and many of the remaining immortals and Buddhas had suffered heavy losses.

Yes, the world outside is too terrifying. Even immortals and Buddhas will perish there if they are not careful. However, they are still quite happy that they have finally found the other side.

The remaining immortals and Buddhas soon discovered that although this land was suitable for human survival, it had no owner.

Therefore, the immortals and Buddhas who had experienced countless disasters called this vast land "Sea of ​​Bitterness" to commemorate the suffering they had experienced.

But after arriving here, only one in ten immortals and Buddhas remained, and they were no longer able to return to their original world.

So they settled down in the Sea of ​​Bitterness, gradually reproduced, and the Sea of ​​Bitterness became more and more lively.

Some of the immortals and Buddhas have never forgotten the mission of taking over the human race from that gradually collapsing land, while more immortals and Buddhas have forgotten about it.

After experiencing danger, they instinctively no longer want to take risks.

But this matter was brought up after all, because there was a kind of topaz above the Sea of ​​Bitterness, which was a weapon to resist the chaotic world.

Some immortals and their descendants created jade ships, which they called "star ships" to pick up humans from that world.

However, this matter came to an abrupt end eight hundred years ago due to an internal conflict among the immortals and Buddhas. The immortals who were unwilling to accept the human race killed the immortals who built the star ship, and even destroyed the star ship.

In the words of those victorious immortals, the people of our world are filthy and unworthy of living in the sea of ​​suffering.

The man with only his skin left was the descendant of the immortal who built the star ship. He always remembered the mission of his ancestors, so he found an opportunity and came here with his companions on a star ship hidden in a secluded place that had not been destroyed, bringing the news.

Afterwards, that person died. And the companions he mentioned had long since perished in the Chaos. He was the only one who survived the Chaos.”

The story of the empress ends here. It is difficult for Gu Jiu to describe his feelings at the moment.

This can be regarded as a ray of hope in the Jedi, but it is too weak.

In addition to bringing news from the other side and a damaged star ship, the man only had half of the map left.

They encountered a huge crisis in the chaos at that time, and they had already left half of the map with all their strength.

Gu Jiu frowned and said, "Then our mission is to find the Sea of ​​Bitterness?"

The Empress nodded and said, "The Chaos outside is too dangerous. Practitioners below the Mountain Moving Realm will die if they enter. Therefore, the entire empire is in great need of powerful practitioners."

Gu Jiu looked at Wu Mei and asked, "Any progress?"

"The spiritual energy of heaven and earth is becoming increasingly thin. Practitioners who have newly entered the Mountain Moving Realm are almost extinct, and most of the remaining people are very afraid of death." Wu Mei said.

Gu Jiu thought of the selfishness of those practitioners and couldn't help but wonder, "Don't they think about the future?"

"The future is too far away for them. Unless they are at the end of their rope, how can they give up their good life and take risks? More importantly, the people on the other side of the Sea of ​​Bitterness do not welcome us." The empress said seriously.

Gu Jiu raised his eyebrows and said, "Then our goal is to find the Sea of ​​Bitterness and convince the people there."

Wu Mei said, "If you can't convince them, then kill them all."
