In the end of the world, I become an immortal alone

#383 - compromise

This old hag is running out of patience.

It hasn't been long, and she's already coming to lay her cards on the table?

Daoist Wang expressed that he is currently immersed in the ocean of knowledge, unable to extricate himself, enjoying it immensely, and wanting to continue studying for a while longer.

However, right now, he should set up the planetary barrier as soon as possible to extend the life of Old Fu's civilization.

They came down here to do this.

Priorities must be clear.

Wang Jixuan moved his neck, signaling everyone to be calm and sit there waiting for the ancient remnant spirit, He Ruli, to step forward.

The array's light barrier in the main hall closed and opened, with only a two-second interval.

He Ruli brought two bronze puppets into the hall, while Gao Huating and Amina were left outside the hall.

He Ruli continued to put on a helpless expression.

As if she had been deeply hurt by someone but still loved them deeply…

'A wronged woman?'

The word popped into Wang Jixuan's mind, and his mood immediately improved by half.

An aggrieved remnant spirit who has been resentful for hundreds of thousands of years, why should he bother with her?

"You seem to have gained a lot," He Ruli sighed as she began, "You are studying the formations here, aren't you? Although I cannot capture your spiritual consciousness, it is only a matter of time before the great pioneer understands everything here."

"Knowing this, why not kill me?"

Wang Jixuan looked at He Ruli:

"Speak, what did you come for? If there's nothing else, don't delay my research on the formations."

Zheng Shiduo and Wu Man, who were acting as 'bodyguards' behind Wang Jixuan, smiled.

He Ruli frowned and said, "Can't you really consider this matter? I have already brought Gao Huating here. Even from the perspective of protecting the surface civilization, can't you endure a little grievance?"

"Don't say that."

Wang Jixuan said indifferently:

"Saying that is demeaning to Little Huating.

"To be honest, if you hadn't interfered, I think Little Huating would have been quite charming. Who knows what might have happened in the future?

"But now, I am already somewhat resistant, and in the future, I will just treat her as a sister.

"As for the surface civilization… you can't use moral kidnapping like this. I have already helped that civilization enough. I am a cultivator, not a saint. It is the right path to take care of my own ascension first."

He Ruli sighed, "But you still can't let them go, can you?"

"I will definitely save those I can, and I won't force it if I can't."

Wang Jixuan's expression gradually turned cold, and he scolded directly:

"Your heart is vicious, narrow-minded, and stubbornly extreme. Why bother putting on such a pretense, only to add to the joke and lower your standards?

"Speak quickly if you have something to say, and fart quickly if you have a fart! Get lost after you're done!"

He Ruli was obviously annoyed by the retort.

She stared at Wang Jixuan intently.

Daoist Wang raised his head slightly, with a hint of provocation in his eyes.

Compared to the day he first arrived here, the Daoist has already mastered quite a few methods to deal with the puppets and formations here.

He is the source of spiritual energy here, and he can naturally solve the disaster of spiritual energy here, all he needs is sufficient time.

He Ruli's expression gradually became indifferent.

She seemed too lazy to sell misery and flatter him.

He Ruli said, "Now I can change the conditions. I only need you to provide reproductive cells and allow me to use the nursery here to cultivate at least four infants as the beginning of civilization. I can then meet all the requirements you put forward, including but not limited to, handing over all kinds of technologies accumulated by the Ina civilization for two million years for you to dispose of."

Wang Jixuan: …

Outside the door, Gao Huating seemed to be able to hear the exchange inside the formation, and her pretty face turned a little red.

She also had to take out the corresponding reproductive cells;

Although this process was somewhat painful for her, after thinking it over, it was the simplest solution at present.

Wang Jixuan was really embarrassed.

Letting him lose some cells didn't seem to have anything to do with his reputation… This… uh…

"I need to discuss it with my teammates."

"Okay," He Ruli's figure flickered lightly and disappeared again, with her voice still lingering in place.

It seemed that she was indeed using some kind of positioning and vocalization technology, as well as virtual projection technology.

"I will not eavesdrop on you, please feel free to communicate."

Silence.

The atmosphere in the main hall became a little strange.

Everyone was also looking at Wang Jixuan, while Amina and Gao Huating had their backs to this place.

Zheng Shiduo rubbed the tip of his nose, wanting to speak but afraid of being beaten, and finally could only honestly remain silent.

Wu Man muttered softly, "This sounds like it's not that resistant anymore."

"The main thing is that the cost is small," Ji Xiaoxiao said, "Teacher Wang, why not just go to the hospital for a checkup? I used to check the survival rate and vitality, etc."

Nierda nodded lightly beside him, seemingly also expressing his approval.

Wang Jixuan raised his chin and fell into deep thought.

He really didn't have much resistance to this matter.

Was the other party using a 'compromise' tactic?

First, give a proposal that would inevitably cause his disgust, leave him alone for a week, and then give an alternative solution.

All he had to give was some reproductive cells;

And what he could get was the treasure left by this civilization.

Especially, these six puppets with the strength of the Integration Stage.

Of course, the so-called strength of the Integration Stage was only the amount of spiritual power and the power they could unleash, which was far from comparable to a real Integration Stage cultivator.

Not to mention anything else, just a thunder spell from an Integration Stage cultivator, Wang Jixuan would find it difficult to dodge even with all his skills, and he would be seriously injured if he didn't die.

But if these six puppets were brought to the front battlefield…

Even, as long as he had them, Wang Jixuan would have a trump card.

These puppets could cooperate with him to cast sword formations.

What was even more important was their manufacturing technology, and the various new, miniaturized restriction circuits in their bodies.

Wang Jixuan was a refiner, and he clearly knew the importance of this technology.

The Ina civilization really had something.

Seeming to see that Wang Jixuan was somewhat tempted, the array's light barrier in the main hall disappeared, and Amina and Gao Huating turned their heads to look.

Amina muttered softly, "Do you want to go in?"

"So, so awkward…"

Gao Huating said in a low voice:

"And I don't know what to say."

Amina was also a little helpless: "This ancient remnant spirit really knows how to manipulate people's hearts. After we entered here, we have actually been led by the nose by her. Every step seems to be within her calculations."

Gao Huating sighed: "Actually, it's not just here. Our trajectory before we came was probably calculated by her."

Amina said: "Precisely, her condition is to have you give birth to offspring, and now she has even proposed that she only needs your reproductive cells. This is probably her real purpose from the beginning."

"She wants to find the main body of civilization, right."

The two bronze puppets stood quietly.

"Ahem."

Wang Jixuan cleared his throat and said loudly, "He Ruli, come out and meet me."

Golden rays intertwined, and He Ruli's figure appeared in front of the hall door.

She stared at Wang Jixuan and asked softly, "Great Pioneer, do you agree to my proposal?"

"Basically, I agree."

Wang Jixuan said:

"This doesn't conflict too much with my ethical views.

"And I also know that even surface humans can now induce somatic cells to become reproductive cells. If you want to collect my cells, you can easily do it by having these puppets injure me.

"However, I also have a new condition."

"Please instruct," He Ruli said indifferently.

Wang Jixuan pointed to the red mole between his eyebrows.

He smiled happily: "Although I am very satisfied with my current state of mind, doing things without restraint and scolding people without burden, I am still a righteous cultivator after all. It's not good to always maintain a demonic state… Do you have a way to fix it? This is your doing, you still owe me this debt, shouldn't you repay it?"

He Ruli thought carefully.

She couldn't make up her mind either.

"I can only express my apologies to you for this matter…"

"If apologies were useful, what would we need fists for?"

Daoist Wang said indifferently:

"If you can't do it, go look up the information.

"If you can do it, I will accept Little Huating as a formal disciple and teach her orthodox cultivation methods.

"I have previously been in contact with the female spirit cultivator who deceived you back then… You shouldn't have obtained my true cultivation methods, right?"

He Ruli nodded lightly: "This is also one of the main reasons why the opposition opposes you."

"Alright," Wang Jixuan sighed softly, "I'm a little tired of going back and forth with you. Let's open the planetary barrier first, and then find a way to restore me to normal. I will naturally agree to your conditions."

The latest and most complete novels are available for free at Liu 9 Shu Ba!

"I think the Great Pioneer will definitely not go back on his word."

"I am more trustworthy than you, even in the current state."

Wang Jixuan waved his hand impatiently.

He Ruli bowed slightly and turned to leave.

After she left, a slight smile appeared on the corner of Wang Jixuan's mouth.

Without the array here, they seemed to be able to move freely.

Wang Jixuan got up and walked to his resting room in the corner.

"You guys go out and have Little Huating come over, I have something to talk to her about."

Gao Huating was obviously a little nervous.

So many things had happened before, all centered around her. How could she not overthink it when Wang Jixuan asked to talk to her alone at this time?

Not to mention, the wicked Zheng Shiduo actually closed the two giant doors of the main hall sneakily before leaving.

The atmosphere here immediately became a little strange.

…

Wang Jixuan looked at the beautiful girl standing in front of him, and his mood quickly improved.

Compared to when they first met, Gao Huating had changed.

Back then, she wore a pleated skirt and a white shirt, full of energy every day, stretching twenty-four hours into twenty-eight. She worked tirelessly between the orphanage and the studio, constantly radiating sunshine and warmth.

Now, her sunshine held a hint of melancholy, and her temperament was a bit more gentle, like water.

She also had a somewhat delicate and easily bullied appearance, making people want to tease her.

"Sit," Wang Jixuan said, reclining on the bed and slowly exhaling.

He raised his hand and gently tapped, enveloping the small rest area they were in with a barrier.

Gao Huating sat stiffly on the stool beside the bed, the hem of her long skirt covering her slender, crystalline calves.

"Don't be nervous, I won't do anything to you."

Daoist Wang chuckled:

"And don't feel guilty because of this ancient remnant spirit's actions. You have no subjective connection to her, and you didn't do anything wrong."

"But after all, what she did was for me…"

"For you? You're mistaken."

Wang Jixuan said indifferently:

"She's just atoning for her sins.

"The opposition faction she was in destroyed their own civilization, even allying with foreign enemies, and in the end, nothing was left.

"Let's not talk about her. What are your thoughts on her proposal?"

"I, I mean…"

Gao Huating was a little uneasy and didn't dare to look at Wang Jixuan, instead looking down at her neatly aligned toes.

"I'm fine with anything, it's up to you."

Wang Jixuan said, "The offspring produced from our two cells will also have blood and genetic ties to us. They can also be considered our descendants, which means that the relationship between us will be very complicated… He Ruli wants to use this method to tie me down and make me continue to work for the Yina civilization."

Gao Huating nodded gently: "That's probably what she meant."

"This fellow is indeed cunning enough, she's been plotting against me from the very beginning," Wang Jixuan said gloomily, "Even my personality and temperament are within her calculations."

Gao Huating remembered something and whispered: "Her main body should be in a place similar to a command center. I saw many, many devices, like the mainframes in our command headquarters."

Wang Jixuan's expression shifted.

His spiritual consciousness now relies on the array of this great hall and can be spread outwards.

After a slight search, Wang Jixuan saw the heavily guarded 'command center' deep underground.

Good news, he did find the main body of that remnant spirit, which was a remnant force of soul power;

Bad news, he found eight new bronze puppets underground, two puppets covered in silver-white armor, and one puppet wearing golden armor but only with its upper body remaining.

'It's a good thing I didn't act directly just now.'

'I'm completely outmatched in terms of force.'

Wang Jixuan observed for a while longer.

This ancient remnant spirit did not realize that Wang Jixuan could already exert his spiritual consciousness to a limited extent.

She had enough confidence in the defenses of Cloud City.

Wang Jixuan said, "Then let's settle this matter for the time being, but you still need to be mentally prepared. We are only giving the other party our respective biological cells in order to open the planet's barrier. For the individuals born in the future, we can take care of them, but we shouldn't pour too much emotion into them."

"Okay," Gao Huating nodded gently, "I understand, please rest assured."

"What I'm worried about now is actually your safety."

Wang Jixuan sighed, not hiding the worry in his heart:

"I have the immortal cultivation methods they crave, so I probably won't be in trouble.

"But when the Yina civilization has new individuals, whether it's you or Amina, you may face danger. This He Ruli is a traitor and a tyrant. In order to achieve her own goals, she once betrayed her civilization and brought in powerful enemies. This behavior is extremely vile.

"I find it hard to believe that she would easily let us go."

Gao Huating asked back: "Didn't you say that she was atoning for her sins?"

"Atonement is only for civilization, not for us. She is capable of anything."

Wang Jixuan said:

"I asked her to find a way to restore my state of mind, which is actually just to delay her for a while.

"If we can handle her on our own, then there's no point in talking."

Gao Huating blinked, her lips slightly pursed.

Wang Jixuan suddenly got up and walked to Gao Huating's side.

"Commander…"

Gao Huating was a little nervous. Wang Jixuan took the initiative to lean over, his left hand resting on the armrest of the chair, and his right hand seemed to be going to touch Gao Huating's slender waist, but instead he smoothly stuffed a newly refined jade talisman into Gao Huating's hand.

Don't ask where the materials for refining the jade talisman came from.

Wang Jixuan lowered his head and stared into her eyes, smiling and asking, "In this way, do you feel anything in your heart?"

"Yes, I do," Gao Huating did not avoid his gaze and nodded gently.

Wang Jixuan leaned over, seemingly to kiss her ear, but only whispered: "Find an opportunity to put this thing in the corner of the garden behind the hall where you live, on top of what looks like a well platform. Be sure to stick it firmly on the surface. That is one of the hubs for the operation of the palace complex's formation."

Gao Huating nodded silently.

Wang Jixuan lightly sniffed her nose, slowly stood up, and dissipated the surrounding barrier.

He smiled and said, "Alright, go rest. When she restores my state of mind, we'll give her the cells."

"Okay," Gao Huating got up and fled as if escaping.

… …

At the same time.

Earth's surface, a secret base in Antarctica.

Ye Zi walked out of the transport plane with her head lowered, and walked towards the crowd who had been waiting for a long time with a cold face.

The crowd raised their hands in salute, Ye Zi didn't respond much, just nodded coolly, and led the crowd quickly towards the 'mine' not far away.

Jialinuo chose to be weak, but she wouldn't.
