#417 - Attack of Emine
"Quick! Send a telegram! Black Storm is back!"
Wang Jixuan sat in the conference room of the 'Fortress 76' museum.
People were constantly running through the corridors.
Some rushed in from the surface, while others dropped whatever they were doing upon receiving the news to come and observe. Order and hierarchy seemed to have lost their effect at this moment, as everyone was talking about the same topic.
【Ah, this is Black Storm.】
Daoist Wang sat there calmly and composed.
A middle-aged woman in a professional suit leaned forward nervously and asked softly, "Um, Commander, would you like something to drink?"
"A cup of tea, please."
Wang Jixuan instructed:
"If you get in touch, please give me a heads-up."
"Yes, understood!"
The woman turned and walked towards the simple water bar on the side.
Wang Jixuan leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes to rest.
Perhaps he was moved by what Beta said;
Or perhaps it was the lingering, intense sense of guilt that arose in his heart.
Wang Jixuan had actually been somewhat afraid to see Lingtong before.
Although he went to heal, not to enjoy himself, the time he spent away was simply too long, long enough for an ordinary person to live a lifetime.
Lingtong's body had been nourished and transformed by him with spiritual energy.
She would have the lifespan of a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator, two to three hundred years.
But eighty years…
Her best years had been wasted by time, and Wang Jixuan would not leave her again for the next eighty or one hundred and sixty years.
Suddenly.
The projection devices in the four corners of the conference room were lit up simultaneously, and the light intertwined, projecting a figure in front of Wang Jixuan. She stared blankly at Wang Jixuan for a few moments, and then screamed and shouted:
"Com— Commander!"
Wang Jixuan's forehead was covered with black lines as he opened his eyes and glared at the guy who was now the greatest 'warlord' in human society.
Mudan.
She hadn't changed a bit.
As a mechanical body, her appearance could be carefully designed, and aging body parts could be replaced at any time. As long as her self-awareness didn't become chaotic and collapse, there wouldn't be any problems.
However, Mudan had also changed somewhat.
At this moment, she was wearing a military uniform, with light makeup, and her proud figure was tall and powerful, exuding a strong sense of confidence.
The confidence of the Mechanical Queen.
Wang Jixuan clicked his tongue, "Not bad, you've made something of yourself."
"Hehe," Mudan's big eyes smiled into crescent moons, "Please wait a moment, I need to hand over my affairs to my deputy, and I'll come back to serve you right away!"
Ser— serve?
The middle-aged woman on the side trembled slightly.
What's going on?
She had repeatedly appeared in news headlines, had extraordinary performances in various stages of the counterattack against the Blade Beasts, and was known as the hope of humanity's future, the only autonomous mechanical body with a soul, the extremely powerful Queen Mudan, was actually Black Storm's… pui! Maid?!
Wang Jixuan said indifferently, "Well, it's good that you're back. Let me check your memories to see if you've done anything."
"Eh," Mudan pouted her little mouth, "I haven't done anything. I've been following your instructions to help humanity achieve final victory."
"Where's Lingtong?"
"She's on her way back! It's a coincidence. She submitted a vacation request yesterday, wanting to go back to Earth to take a look. She was already halfway there, and will arrive on Earth in about seven or eight hours!"
Wang Jixuan wondered, "Where did you get the space teleportation technology?"
"The Star Gate!"
Mudan said with a justified tone:
"The Ina civilization gave it to the Spirit Cultivation civilization, the Spirit Cultivation civilization gave it to the Blade Beast civilization, and now, we have defeated the Blade Beast civilization in some areas, so isn't it our spoils of war?
"Moreover, Commander, you don't know, there are not only us Earth humans in this star field, but also dozens of large and small civilizations. Some civilizations are so powerful that they occupy more than a dozen planets!
"They have also been affected by the Blade Beast disaster, suffering heavy losses, and their civilizations are in danger of extinction.
"Fortunately, when we fought out, the Blade Beasts hadn't finished dealing with the Spirit Cultivation civilization and hadn't expanded outwards.
"Actually, there are only three to five years of strategic window.
"If our Martian victory and the time we jumped out of Earth were later, the Blade Beasts would launch a full-scale purge of this star field. At that time, we would not only lose our allies, but also suffer a full-scale siege by the Blade Beasts, and we probably wouldn't be able to hold on.
"Fortunately, this commander was brave and decisive, and let the mechanical troops that can automatically replenish directly jump into the opened Star Gate, shocking the entire star field!"
Wang Jixuan scolded unhappily, "Still shocking the entire star field, why don't you shock the entire universe? Come back quickly, and turn off your bragging system for me!"
"Oh," Mudan puffed up her cheeks aggrievedly, and quickly cheered up again, "Then I'll hand over, wait for me… Do you want your maid to wear black stockings or white stockings? Flesh-colored stockings are also okay."
Wang Jixuan: …
Whoosh.
He pressed the remote control and cut off the communication.
The middle-aged woman on the side trembled and came up, whispering, "Commander, are you so familiar with this commander?"
"I'm just making a fool of myself," Wang Jixuan took a sip of his tea, but didn't say much.
The middle-aged woman wisely saluted and retreated.
After going out, she was surrounded by a group of people, asking questions.
Wang Jixuan continued to flip through the book in front of him.
The book wrote about the various eras that Fortress 76 had experienced, and many of the things later were true historical materials.
The Daoist suddenly opened his mouth while reading, "Do you want to keep peeking at me from the corner until they come back?"
"Of course not."
A clear female voice like a lark came.
There were wisps of illusory light surrounding a corner, and Amina, wearing a long black gauze dress and with skin as white as snow, revealed herself from there.
Her long dark blue hair was slightly curly, and her eyes seemed to hide the stars in the sky.
Amina had become even more powerful.
She didn't have any excited emotions, after all, she had visited Wang Jixuan more than twenty times in the past eighty years, that is, in the last ten years, the consciousness of the Three Realms Playboy collapsed, and she couldn't enter the Cloud City anymore.
"Has he already disappeared?"
"Returned to the Stone of the Past."
Wang Jixuan said slowly:
"Thank you for your hard work these years."
"Hmph," Amina walked gracefully to Wang Jixuan.
She was obviously dressed up specially today. The long dress set off her enchanting curves without appearing charming, the makeup was just right without any coquettishness, and the faint fragrance emanating from her body seemed to be able to stir up the restlessness in people's hearts.
Amina walked to Wang Jixuan's side, sat on the edge of the table with half her butt, crossed her arms, and carefully looked at Daoist Wang.
Daoist Wang leaned back and met her gaze frankly.
The group of onlookers outside the door were extremely excited at this moment.
Amina, the envoy of the Spirit Cultivation civilization, one of the heroes who saved the Earth, and known as the eternal guardian of the Earth!
This powerful existence, who only appeared in photos on TV shows at most;
Was also in a unclear relationship with Black Storm!
Wang Jixuan snapped his fingers, and a barrier enveloped this place, so that outsiders could see that they were innocent, and their chat with Amina would not be overheard.
Amina asked, "What are your plans next?"
"No plans."
Wang Jixuan sighed:
"Part of my memories from the second life have already been given to me.
"I also have some confidence in passing the Heavenly Tribulation.
"Next, I will do three things: destroy Obsidian, eliminate the Blade Beasts, and then, end the karma."
"Karma?" Amina asked softly, "Can there be more than a hundred years of karma?"
Wang Jixuan blinked, "No, are we being so direct?"
"Otherwise?"
Amina said indifferently:
"I met a male who made my heart beat for the first time, and he can conquer me in all aspects. If I don't speak up now, I'll miss it.
"I can line up and wait for you to break up with Lingtong or something else.
"I still have tens of thousands of years of life.
"Leave a memory and let my long life slowly experience it, isn't that good?"
Her hands fell, subconsciously pinching the edge of her skirt.
Wang Jixuan scratched his eyebrows, and said somewhat guiltily, "Feelings, you know, I don't really need it… and it also depends on the feeling… Wait until I end this karma, then we'll try, if we can have a feeling, then we'll get along for a while… Anyway, I have to stay in this world for at least three to five hundred years."
Amina obviously breathed a sigh of relief.
Her eyes were as gentle as water, she pursed her lips as if she wanted to laugh, and then lowered her head and walked to a chair on the side.
The newest and most complete novels are all on 69shuba!
"Then before that, we are comrades-in-arms, and also brothers and sisters. You can always ask me for anything you need.
"I have a feeling for you."
Wang Jixuan was defeated, nodded vaguely, and lowered his head to continue flipping through the pages of the book.
He began to understand what it means to be unable to bear the beauty's kindness.
However, this will not delay anything.
According to the cultivation plan formulated for him by the Three Realms Playboy, there are still many places to check for omissions, and three hundred years is not enough.
He also wants to try to comprehend several avenues.
The power of the law is a skill that can only be mastered after becoming an immortal.
But there is no way, the existence of that finger makes Wang Jixuan have to dabble in this kind of power in the Integration, Tribulation (Heart Demon), and Mahayana stages.
The Stone of the Past in his hand can comprehend the Great Dao of Time, but the threshold is indeed too high.
But there are so many star fields in this world, maybe there are other similar treasures, and he can search around later.
'Well, go search for treasures when fighting the Blade Beasts.'
Wang Jixuan is no longer impatient, he is calm and composed, as if even if he still can't step into the fairy gate this time, he has no regrets.
Amina watched him from the side, involuntarily becoming a little lost in thought.
Wang Jixuan clicked his tongue, "Is this poor Taoist so handsome?"
"Yeah," Amina raised her hand to support her chin, "When you had that mark on your forehead, you looked very scary, but now, no matter how I look at you, you're pleasing to the eye."
"Pay attention to the influence, comrade in arms."
"Alright then," Amina knew she might have gone a bit too far, and reluctantly withdrew her gaze, raising her hand to summon a book, flipping through it casually.
The two of them read books and drank tea, letting time pass by, minute by minute.
Amina experienced a rare sense of peace.
Her restless heart, which had been agitated for so long, was now like a lake without wind or clouds.
A series of shouts came from the corridor, seemingly calling for "Speaker."
Soon, Zhou Zhengde, a white-haired, centenarian old man in a wheelchair, unable to hold back his tears, was pushed into the conference room.
He also attracted a large number of cameras.
Zhou Zhengde, who originally couldn't even walk, was immediately energized after Wang Jixuan raised his hand and gave him a few pills, hugging Wang Jixuan tightly.
The surrounding hovering camera spheres flashed wildly.
"It's good that you're back! It's so good that you're back!"
Wang Jixuan: ......
Crap, he could no longer find the feeling of associating with Zhou Zhengde as an equal.
After all, Zhou Zhengde's body was already aging, while he was still in his youth.
Wang Jixuan helped Zhou Zhengde sit opposite Amina, and a guard brought tea and fruit. The area was quickly cleared, and the camera spheres were also moved away.
News articles were disseminated to every corner of the starfield with human presence, moving every two hours.
"Your grandfather..."
"Grandfather passed away, and mother also passed away," Zhou Zhengde smiled helplessly, "As will I, it's very normal, completely normal, the laws of nature, birth, aging, illness, and death, we have all dedicated our lives to humanity."
"Alas," Wang Jixuan sighed, filled with mixed emotions.
Zhou Zhengde mysteriously said, "However, if you want to communicate with your grandfather, there is a chance, but it requires certain equipment."
"Consciousness upload?"
"Yes," Zhou Zhengde sighed, "Consciousness upload, becoming the command auxiliary system of the First Expeditionary Army, a brain in a vat..."
Wang Jixuan suddenly felt a sense of suffocation.
Old Fu, that guy, was really a ruthless person.
Ruthless to enemies, even more ruthless to himself.
He wouldn't even let himself rest in peace after death, discarding his body like worn-out shoes, and ultimately cultivating his brain into a ship's auxiliary command system.
This...
"Alright," Wang Jixuan said with emotion, "No matter which plane or power system Old Fu is in, he will be a hegemon."
Zhou Zhengde didn't know how to respond to that.
But it didn't matter, the current Zhou Zhengde was no longer the 'naive' youth he was in his middle age, he casually found a topic and began to talk eloquently.
Neither making Wang Jixuan feel estranged, nor making Amina feel neglected, the atmosphere was still very harmonious.
The communication art of an old codger.
... ...
At the same time as Lingtong was rushing to Earth.
On a planet far away from Earth with an astronomical distance, and with a brownish-gray appearance.
This planet was about to become a battlefield. A large number of Blade Beasts were gathering on the periphery, and ships also appeared outside the planet. It was a multi-civilization coalition fleet.
And on the surface of the planet, among those closely arranged square houses, several figures were looking at the poster news appearing on the projector, each frowning.
There were four people here.
In the corner was a young girl with her face covered by a veil, who was currently unconscious, probably having just been knocked out.
Of the remaining three people, there was an old acquaintance of Wang Jixuan.
Obsidian.
Obsidian's current state was no longer the unrestrained and suave one of the past. He was thin, with sunken eyes, like a sick person who had been bedridden for many years.
The smile on his lips was still so relaxed and carefree, as if nothing in this world could trouble him.
"Finally," Obsidian murmured, "Our only opponent has finally shown himself."
"Leader," the old man next to him asked, "He has been hiding for so long, his strength must be even stronger than in the last battle, we may not be able to cope with him."
"The source of spiritual energy, all the spiritual energy in this world originates from him, it's normal for us not to be his match."
Obsidian said easily:
"It doesn't matter, as long as we confirm that he has come out, we can sell this news for a good price.
"There are several adults who have been waiting for him to show up for a long time."
The two old men exchanged glances, wisely not asking any further questions.
Obsidian looked at the poster in front of him, lost in thought. That plan had been swirling in his mind for eighty Earth years.
