Chapter 187 Supplies
"This is impossible!"
Xie Shen questioned: "What you saw is different from the actual situation. Could it be because the distance is too far?
"After all, different planets in the universe are often separated by thousands or even tens of thousands of light years."
"And because light takes time to propagate."
"So what you see with a telescope is probably just what happened thousands of years ago, or tens of thousands of years ago."
Xie Shen guessed: "Perhaps, the people on this planet were indeed very technologically advanced thousands of years ago."
"But for some unknown reason, their civilization declined."
"So there is everything I see now."
"Didn't I just say that?" Li Xiu reminded Xie Shen: "I recently bought a lot of technical drawings from Chou Yuan, the manager of the Aldebaran galaxy."
"This includes starry sky telescopes."
"The improved starry sky telescope no longer simply reflects infrared light and uses the spectrum to perform imaging."
"I also added space teleportation technology."
Li Xiu explained: "In short, it is to transmit infrared light thousands or even tens of thousands of light-years away directly to the near-infrared imager of the telescope."
"With this technology, no matter how far away the light is, it can be seen by the naked eye in an instant."
at last.
Li Xiu concluded: "So, there can be no problem with what I saw."
"The planet you are on is an interstellar civilization that is dominated by technological civilization and is highly technologically advanced."
"But the problem is..." Xie Shen couldn't figure it out at all: "It can't be possible. Everything I'm experiencing now is false, right?"
"I am already a monk in the transformation stage, and I have divine consciousness."
"If this world is a virtual world, generated by a supercomputer, then I would have already felt it with my spiritual consciousness."
"Well," Li Xiu followed Xie Shen's words and analyzed: "Then let's rule out the possibility of a virtual world for now."
"In this case, all I can think of are two guesses."
"Which two?" Xie Shen asked subconsciously.
Li Xiudao: "The first guess."
"Everything I see is an illusion, arranged by the power of practitioners in this world to achieve a certain purpose."
"That is, everything you experience is true."
Reasonable.
After hearing this, Xie Shen thought for a while and said: "If it is the work of a powerful practitioner, such as a spiritual transformation or even a monk in the integration stage."
"Then it won't be difficult for him to disguise the entire planet with illusions."
Said.
Xie Shen asked: "What's your second guess?"
Li Xiu asked Xie Shen in return: "Do you still remember the flesh and blood and mirror world on earth?"
"There is also the small fairyland world on Tianyuan Star"
"Small worlds like this hidden on a certain planet can not only form naturally."
"Monks in the transformation stage can also develop their own magical powers through great powers."
Xie Shen understood what Li Xiu said.
He then said: "So you are saying that the place I am currently in is most likely a small world created by a powerful being?"
"It's not a great master." Li Xiu corrected: "It's the work of a civilization with a highly developed technological level."
"To put it simply, you are in a small world created by advanced civilization using technology."
"It is precisely because of this that what I saw is very different from what you actually experienced."
Li Xiu finally concluded.
"I have given two guesses: all this is the work of a powerful practitioner, or it is the work of a high-tech civilization."
"As for which answer is that, you have to decide for yourself."
If you want to lift the veil that shrouds this world, it is obviously impossible to do it in a short while.
The most urgent task now is to find a way to improve the strength of this body.
After all, only with strength can there be more room for maneuver.
Considering that there is no extraordinary power on this planet, it is impossible to practice. Xie Shen rushed to Li Xiu and asked: "Can you support me with some high-tech equipment? For example, do you still have the nano armor you gave me last time in your laboratory?" ?”
"Yes, there is." Li Xiudao: "But the high-tech equipment in my hands, almost without exception, requires extraordinary power to be driven."
"Such as spiritual power, such as black mist.
"And the planet you are on doesn't have any extraordinary power at all."
"This problem is easy to solve." Xie Shen said calmly: "In order to deal with this kind of situation, I store a lot of pills to supplement spiritual power in the storage bag, as well as a lot of black mist packed in glass."
"With these stocks and the blessing of my divine consciousness, there should be no big problem in cultivating to the foundation building stage in one go."
"Cultivation in the foundation building period, plus the high-tech equipment you gave me"
Xie Shen estimated: "In this way, I have combat power comparable to that of a Golden Core monk, which is enough to cope with the current situation."
Since Xie Shen said so, Li Xiu naturally no longer had any worries.
By using the divine cauldron.
Li Xiu transferred a metal ball that could be turned into nano-scale armor, a bracelet that could generate an energy shield, and an energy gun that could charge itself.
"Okay!"
in the room.
After getting these equipment, Xie Shen was in a happy mood and was about to chat with Li Xiu a few more words.
But suddenly there were bursts of footsteps in the distance.
Xie Shen, who detected the movement with his spiritual sense, hurriedly put the Shen Dao Cauldron and the equipment presented by Li Xiu back into his storage bag.
He quickly calmed down and sat motionless on the bed.
The next second.
Only a high-pitched voice was heard outside the door.
It sounds like a eunuch in the palace.
The voice said: "Is the eldest prince in the room?"
"Your Majesty is actually always thinking about you."
"No."
"He came over to see you as soon as you came out of court."
"Hurry up and pick up your pieces, we're coming in now."
After hearing this, Xie Shen hurriedly scanned the outside of the house with his spiritual consciousness.
Seeing that the visitors were indeed the emperor and the eunuch beside him, he responded: "Please come in."
‘Squeak’
The words just fell.
Then the eunuch gently opened the door and bowed to introduce the emperor inside.
In front of the emperor, Xie Shen hurriedly greeted him and said, "I have met my eldest son, Biao."
"No need to be polite."
Before Xie Shen finished speaking, the emperor waved his hand to interrupt him.
Although it is the home of an emperor, meeting each other on weekdays is no better than in a temple. There are no need to pay attention to so many red tapes between father and son.
After entering the room.
Without any instructions from the emperor, the eunuch moved a wooden chair in the corner to the center with clean movements.
But I saw the emperor sitting on the chair with a golden sword.
He said to Xie Shen calmly: "Tell me, what happened to you today?"
Xie Shen did not respond directly, but asked the emperor: "What is the skull that my father, Grand Master Gang, summoned in the court hall?"
After hearing this, the emperor suddenly looked carefully at Xie Shen up and down.
He sighed unconsciously and said: "Actually, the more you know in this world, the more tired you will be."
"I'm not old yet." "It shouldn't be a problem to continue sitting on this throne for another ten years or so."
"In these more than ten years, you just have to be your prince."
"Don't ask too much, don't think too much."
"In this palace, there are people serving you every day, and there are all kinds of delicacies."
"Isn't it nice to live like this?"
The emperor looked at Xie Shen.
He said meaningfully: "When the day you take over from me, you will naturally understand everything."
"By then, you won't be as relaxed as you are now."
"Cherish the moment!"
Taking your place?
Xie Shen heard the emperor's voiceover.
He took advantage of the situation and asked: "So, Father, you have no intention of killing me at all?"
"Why should I kill you?" the emperor said matter-of-factly: "It was not me who put you on death row in the court hall just now, but the laws of the Great Zhou Kingdom."
"It's a rule."
"I said this, can you understand?"
he continued.
"I know that you refused to sacrifice, and there is probably another reason."
"After all, you are not a fool."
"You refused even though you knew you would be killed if you refused."
"This shows that you must have difficulties more important than life and death."
Good guy.
He really deserves to be the emperor.
Not to mention how smart he is, but at least his IQ is online when analyzing problems.
Since he was talking to a smart person, Xie Shen decided to be more direct.
He asked a question: "Father, regarding the sacrifice, I really want to know, who are we sacrificing to?"
"There are also the disasters sent down by heaven after refusing to sacrifice."
"Where did that disaster come from?"
"Didn't I just say it?" The emperor emphasized again: "There are some things that even if you know, it is impossible to change the status quo."
"So it is better to be confused than to ask questions here and there, only to increase your troubles."
"You just complete the sacrifice honestly, and then wait more than ten years before taking over my throne and helping me govern the entire Great Zhou Kingdom."
"Do you understand?"
In order to attract the emperor's attention, and at the same time, to get more information from the emperor's mouth.
Xie Shen decided not to hide his clumsiness anymore.
He turned his hand over and took out the small metal ball given by Li Xiugang directly from the storage bag of the main body.
Namely nano-armor.
Immediately afterwards, Xie Shen took the risk to mobilize a very small amount of black mist from the main body.
In front of the emperor and the chief eunuch, he used black mist to activate the metal ball.
This moment.
But the small metal ball in Xie Shen's palm decomposed into countless metal fragments at an extremely fast speed.
The metal fragments, which were less than the size of a grain of rice, were like little bugs, and they quickly covered Xie Shen's entire body.
The metal fragments kept squirming.
Finally, they gradually came together and formed a set of bright silver alloy armor.
"How was it?"
After the armor was put on by itself, Xie Shen squatted down and tapped the ground lightly with his knuckles.
Following Xie Shen's movements, the bricks and stones on the ground cracked on the spot.
For a time, dust and gravel were flying in the room.
It was as if a sandstorm had just blown over.
"First Prince, you."
Looking at the bright silver armor covering Xie Shen's body, the eunuch couldn't believe his glasses.
He said blankly: "Is that a spell you just used?"
"So be it."
Xie Shen replied perfunctorily to the eunuch, and turned to the emperor and asked: "So, can you tell me all the secrets about sacrifice now?"
I don’t know why.
After seeing the armor worn by Xie Shen, the emperor did not show much surprise.
He just frowned and asked Xie Shen: "Have you ever seen someone from Heaven with this armor?"
Heaven?
Xie Shen hurriedly took the opportunity to ask: "So, are there another group of people living in the sky on this planet? And they also have armors like mine?"
The emperor heard the implication of Xie Shen's words.
He also asked in reply: "What do you mean by this, you seem to have never seen anyone from Heaven? The armor you are wearing was not given to you by someone from Heaven?"
"Hey."
Xie Shen smiled mysteriously.
Considering that the relationship between the original owner Yan Biao and the emperor was, after all, a father-son relationship, and they seemed to be quite harmonious with each other.
So Xie Shen simply revealed more information to him: "What I own is not just this set of armor."
"As long as you give me enough time to practice, I can easily do it even if I have to fly to the sky or move mountains and fill the sea in the future."
in the room.
The emperor looked at Xie Shen with a thoughtful look in his eyes.
Most of them were thinking about whether everything Xie Shengang said was true or false.
About half an hour passed like this.
The emperor stared hard at Xie Shen and asked him: "If I am willing to help you with all my strength and provide you with various cultivation resources, how long will it take you to practice to the point where you can fly to the sky and escape to the earth? Can we move mountains and reclaim seas? ”
Xie Shen sat upright.
He also thought for a moment before replying: "If everything goes well, it will only take about seven days for me to achieve the foundation-building level."
"And practitioners in the foundation-building stage can all fly with swords."
"So flying to the sky and escaping from the earth is not a difficult task for me."
"Besides,,.,"
Saying that, Xie Shen added: "My suit of armor itself has the function of flying. So as long as I want, I can even fly to the sky now."
"Only seven days?" Perhaps because of his excitement, the emperor couldn't help but speed up his speech.
He took a deep breath, forced himself to calm down and said: "Since you do have all kinds of trump cards in hand, let me just say it directly."
"Our Great Zhou Kingdom is just a piece of consumables prepared by the immortals in heaven."
"Consumables?" Xie Shen heard this and asked in confusion: "What do you mean?"
The emperor explained: "I am not very clear about the specific meaning of the word "consumables."
"I only know that the so-called sacrifice has always been led by Heaven behind the scenes."
"As long as heaven exists, sacrifices must continue forever."
"The people of our great Zhou Kingdom, as well as the civil and military officials in the court, will endure the torture caused by sacrifices from generation to generation."
