Chapter 51: The academician of the country defies destiny!
The next day.
People across the country are in panic.
Online forums are all discussing yesterday’s gold list.
Because of the new rules of the gold list, many people are uneasy.
Because the top ten can kill them to gain cultivation, and there is no upper limit, many cultivators at lower levels are afraid of it.
They were afraid that the strong would kill them quietly and thus increase their strength. If those ten people wanted to kill them, it would be easy.
Originally, ordinary people were afraid of monks, but now, people all over the country are afraid of the top ten.
He was afraid that any of the top ten would be unhappy, so he killed them to improve his cultivation, just like the demon cultivators in novels.
In addition, there is another incident on the Internet that has spread throughout the entire network and caused a sensation.
That is Mr. Chen Mingyuan, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. He is 130 years old and has almost no physical functions left. He is about to pass away.
"Hey, is there no one who can save the old man? He has made many contributions to our country."
"I heard that the Ministry of Renovation has already taken action. We invited Taoist Qingfeng to take a look last night, but he refused to help, saying that it would infringe on the karma, and that if we go against the will of heaven and change our fate, we will incur the wrath of heaven!"
"That's right, even if it's the Soul-Restoring Pill, after taking it, one still needs to go through a catastrophe, because going against the will of heaven to change one's fate is going against the will of heaven, and destiny cannot be violated."
"Is that so? I thought I could return to my soul after taking the Soul-Restoring Pill, but I didn't expect that I would have to go through so much hardship."
"What tribulation? It's a heavenly tribulation, or a thunder tribulation. If you are strong enough, you can fight against the heavens."
"That shouldn't be the case. Elder Chen has done great good deeds. His knowledge has advanced China's fighter aircraft industry by thirty years. He has lived this long because of his great good deeds. How can he just die like that?"
"No way, no one dares to go against the will of heaven, unless Xiaoyao Tianzun takes action."
"That's true. If Xiaoyao Tianzun rescues him, he shouldn't be afraid of fate. After all, he is a man who can even scare away thunder tribulations!"
…
Longdu City, Military Hospital.
In the spacious ward, there was a bed, and an old man with a pale face, white hair, and sunken eye sockets was lying quietly on it with his eyes closed.
From his bloodless skin and weak breathing, it could be seen that the old man didn't have much time left.
There was also a young girl next to the old man, looking at him with tears in her eyes.
"Grandpa, I went to the temple to pray for you today. I'm sure you'll live longer. I've also posted a message saying that I'm willing to spend all my money if anyone dares to save you."
The girl's name is Chen Xi, she is the granddaughter of Chen Mingyuan and the current chairman of Longdu Xihe Cosmetics Company, with a net worth of hundreds of billions! "Ahem."
At this time, the old man lying on the bed coughed twice and opened his eyes in a daze.
"Grandpa, you're awake. Are you hungry? Are you thirsty?" Seeing his grandfather wake up, Chen Xi asked hurriedly.
"It's okay, I'm not hungry or thirsty." The old man raised the corners of his mouth with difficulty, looked at his granddaughter, and smiled kindly.
"Grandpa, don't worry, I will find a way to save you. I heard that the water fairy has a soul-returning pill. I can spend all my family property to sell it as long as the other party is willing to sell it." Tears ran down Chen Xi's pretty face, making people feel pity.
"Silly child, everyone is mortal since ancient times, so why should you be afraid of death? Besides, I have lived for most of my life, and it's time for me to live enough." Chen Mingyuan smiled with relief and stretched out his hand tremblingly to touch his granddaughter's cheek.
He had no fear of death, but rather a sense of freedom.
At the age of fourteen, he was admitted to the National Defense University because of his talent. At the age of eighteen, he made outstanding contributions to the aviation field. At the age of twenty, he solved various problems of fighter jets. Foreign countries spent countless money just to recruit him.
He rejected it with just one sentence.
"I am Chinese."
Afterwards, he resolutely joined the National Defense Academy and began to research in the field of fighter jets.
Now over a hundred years old, he is still making countless contributions to the country's aviation and fighter jet fields.
His great achievements are unmatched.
He was awarded the Order of National Light a few years ago.
However, he still had some regrets, as he was unable to see China become the most powerful country and was unable to see his granddaughter marry someone else.
These are his regrets, but he still doesn't want to die.
But now, who can save him? No, who dares to save him?
At this time, Chen Xi's cell phone vibrated. She picked it up and saw that it was her secretary calling. There must be something important to report.
"You answer the phone first." Chen Mingyuan said with a smile.
"Yeah." Chen Xi nodded, walked to the balcony and answered the phone.
"Tell me, what's the matter."
"Chairman, Narcissus has replied that she can give us her Soul-Restoring Pill, but the prerequisite is that someone must be willing to go against the will of heaven and stop the calamity. Otherwise, the entire Chen family will be destroyed by the calamity."
Hearing this, Chen Xi's face changed drastically. Disobeying fate is so serious! If you are not careful, it will implicate the entire family.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
This…she couldn't make a decision on her own.
"Okay, I understand."
Chen Xi hung up the phone, returned to his grandfather's side, and said with a forced smile: "Grandpa, something happened in the company. I have to go and deal with it. I will come to see you later."
"Well, go ahead." Chen Mingyuan nodded and watched Chen Xi leave.
The moment the door of the ward was closed, his eyes dimmed.
Having lived for over a hundred years, can't he see the changes in a person's emotions?
It seems that his life is over.
…
Qindu University, dormitory.
Chen Lan meditated all night and returned to the dormitory at noon. As soon as he opened the door, he heard a sigh.
"Oh, why are there so many things going on today? It's such a sad day."
Luo Tao was sitting in a chair, looking at his mobile phone, sighing, and seemed to be in a lot of distress.
"What's wrong?" Chen Lan asked casually.
"Oh, you're back. You didn't come home all night. You wouldn't have secretly gotten out of singlehood without telling me!" When Luo Tao saw Chen Lan coming back, he jumped up instantly and came in front of Chen Lan.
"What are you thinking about?" Chen Lan rolled his eyes.
"I'm telling you, you're my future brother-in-law, don't look for a girlfriend."
"Ah? When did I become your brother-in-law?" Chen Lan was confused, and winked again, showing a playful smile: "Also, don't you want me to be your brother-in-law? What happened today?"
"Of course my sister likes you. I saw her blushing last night, and she even asked why Brother Chen Lan didn't come to dinner." Luo Tao said this with some anger.
Chen Lan was stunned. It seemed that Luo Tao was not joking. Could it be that Lan Lan really liked him?
But it's normal when you think about it. Lanlan is so young, it's not uncommon for girls to be in love.
"Stop, stop, stop. Let's not talk about this topic anymore. Lanlan is still young. Let's talk about it later. First, tell me why you are sighing. What happened?"
He didn't pay attention to what happened on Blue Star all day and devoted himself to enlightenment.
"Well, of course it's Academician Chen's business."
