Chapter 123 World Consciousness



On a pedestrian street somewhere in Yuecheng, a fair-skinned and beautiful young lady was shopping with her best friend. She was carrying three or four shopping bags in her hands and was discussing with her best friend where to go for dinner. Unexpectedly, when she turned around to ask a question, she bumped into someone and the things in her hands fell to the ground.

"Sorry, are you okay, Lijia?" Qingkong and others were bumped into by the space gate that randomly teleported them due to the collapse of Chishui.

"How do you walk...the way?" The young lady's angry tone took a sharp turn for the worse when she saw the handsome and gentle appearance of the man.

[He's so handsome, he probably didn't do it on purpose. ]

Qingkong looked away without changing his expression, bent down to help the girl pick up the dropped shopping bag, handed it to her politely, and apologized again: "I'm sorry, I showed up too suddenly, can you check if the things are damaged?"

"It's okay, I bought clothes, they won't be damaged if they fall." The young lady's expression looked much better.

[She really showed up suddenly. There was no one in front of me just now. Did she come here to chat me up on purpose? Although her methods are a bit old-fashioned, she looks okay. It's not impossible to give her a chance.]

Qingkong nodded calmly, then left.

Yes, he left, and he left without hesitation even though the young lady was ready to add him on WeChat.

Young lady: “…” Damn, I really bumped into him by accident.

After the Chishui River collapsed, the location of the space gate shifted to a certain extent. Although the exit was still in Yuecheng, it was dozens of kilometers away from where Qingkong entered. Almost one was in the west of the city and the other was in the east.

Qingkong took only two steps forward and saw Chen Chu and Lin Xi waiting not far away.

Found myself so quickly?

Although the three of them came out from the same exit, unless they held hands, they would not appear in the same place at the same time. Their directions would be slightly offset. I just came out, but Chen Chu could lock onto me instantly. It was obvious that he was very anxious to find me.

"I turned off my phone." The first sentence we said when we met.

Qingkong understood clearly: "It's closed in Chishui."

Chen Chu laughed. It was closed in Chishui. As expected, Qingkong always knew how to avoid trouble.

They were not the only ones who entered the Red Water this time. Feishuang and Tiger Whale did not appear in the later battles, and they may have returned to Earth in advance. After they returned, they would immediately report what happened in the Red Water to the headquarters, so whether they could return must be the focus of the headquarters. The collapse of the Red Water was too sudden, and he did not have time to explain many things to Lin Xi and Qingkong before he came out, so he came to find Qingkong in such a hurry.

Chen Chu: "Let's find a place to eat and chat."

Qingkong looked helpless: "If I say that I can pretend that I heard nothing, can I stay out of this matter?"

He was really afraid of trouble, and the two stalls in front of him were not ordinary trouble. He had a vague feeling after entering Chishui, so he repeatedly emphasized to Chen Chu that if there was anything, he must not tell him, because he was afraid of being dragged into it. As a result, Chen Chu did not tell him, and he witnessed it with his own eyes.

This is so unfortunate! There is no place to seek justice.

Chen Chu smiled and said, "After we finish talking, you can pretend you don't know."

At a hot pot restaurant at the end of the pedestrian street, the three of them asked for a private room, sat down, and chatted while eating hot pot.

Chen Chu did not hide anything and briefly told the high priest and Shuize about asking him for help. But even just a brief mention was enough to shock two or three people for the rest of their lives.

Lin Xian: "Tianyu can actually be revived? Those spirits in the sub-space are actually all alive?"

Although she knew that these spirits had self-awareness, she had always treated them as ghosts. Now they were all alive? Did she kill those spirits before, actually kill living people?

"You don't know?" Although Qingkong was also surprised, he was even more surprised that Lin Xi didn't know.

Lin shook her head: "I don't know."

Qingkong was speechless. As one of the parties involved, the opener of the Tianji Realm, the last and most crucial link in saving the world, who would believe you if you told me you knew nothing?

But the eye of truth told him that Lin Xi was not lying and she really didn't know.

Qingkong asked, "You know nothing, how do you know about the Heavenly Realm? This place is the key to saving the world. Even the Lord of Chishui City and the High Priest cannot enter."

Lin Yan said frankly: "This has something to do with my special ability, but it's hard to explain."

Qingkong looked at Lin Yan suspiciously, making sure she wasn't lying, it was really hard to explain. What was even more amazing was that, under normal circumstances, if someone said something was hard to explain, they usually couldn't explain it clearly, or couldn't say it, but his true eye could see through people's hearts directly, and he could actually read it himself. But now, even he couldn't read it, Lin Yan's inner thoughts were a bunch of unclear gibberish.

【#%@#¥%¥#】

The more this happened, the more curious Qingkong became. But since he couldn't figure it out, he had no choice but to give up for now and turn to look at Chen Chu: "The sub-space... is Tianyu. The reason why Tianyu came to Lin Xi to save the world is probably related to her difficult-to-explain supernatural power. What about you? Why did the high priest go to so much trouble to find you? It's obvious that his original target was only you. Lin Xi must have discovered it by accident."

The change in the attitude of the high priest and Shuize towards Lin Nu was after Lin Nu struck the wooden fish. It was obvious that the two noticed the specialness of Lin Nu after seeing the prop. Before that, their only target was Chen Chu.

Chen Chu looked at Qingkong and said meaningfully, "It will probably be more troublesome if you know about this matter."

Qingkong took a sip of beer and said nonchalantly, "What could be more troublesome than knowing how to save the world?"

Chen Chu nodded, thinking that Qingkong was right, and said directly: "They came to me because I am from Tianyu Continent."

"Puff!" Qingkong spat out a mouthful of beer.

What did he hear? Chen Chu was from Tianyu, one of those spirits in this dimension?

Lin was also shocked, but not as exaggerated as Qingkong. When in the Miao village, the Saint Mark on Chen Chu's leg was once activated. At that time, the spirits in the Miao village said that only the Venerable level could do this level of mark. At that time, Lin did not think much about it. She just thought that Chen Chu should have a powerful family background like the King of Wu in reality, and the mark on his leg was left by the elders of the family. Later, Lin learned that the highest official combat power is actually Kunlun, and it is clear that no one in Kunlun has reached the level of Venerable.

She actually had some doubts at the time, but considering that Chen Chu grew up on Earth, she wondered if Chen Chu had some adventure in the sub-space, and did not think that Chen Chu was originally a spirit.

Qingkong drank the beer in his hand in one gulp and finally calmed down a little. After calming down, all that was left was regret.

Chen Chu had already reminded him, but he still insisted on asking questions. This trouble was indeed not as big as the trouble of saving the world, but for him, it was more difficult to handle.

Once he knew about the matter of saving the world, he would know about it. It was a big matter and he certainly couldn't handle it. He would go back and report it directly to his superiors, letting the official headquarters worry about it. He had no pressure at all.

But how would he report Chen Chu's affairs?

If he reports it, Chen Chu might die. If he doesn't, this is another alien.

Qingkong hesitated for a moment and asked a question: "When did you come to Earth?"

Chen Chu: “24 years ago.”

Qingkong frowned. He had seen Chen Chu's file. Chen Chu was only 24 years old. "How did you get here?"

Chen Chu immediately told the two people the content of the video recorded by Tang Tianyuan: "The video is in my phone. I can show it to you when I turn it on."

Qingkong: “No need.” Based on his understanding of Chen Chu, there was no need to lie to him about this matter.

Qingkong finally found an appropriate adjective: "Does this count as a puncture?"

Chen Chu smiled bitterly: "About the same."

Lin Xin has a different view: "If that's the case, I don't think Senior Chen Chu can be considered a Tianyu mainlander."

The two of them looked at Lin Yan, as if asking, this entire robbery process was filmed, why doesn’t it count?

Lin: "We can think about it from another angle. In Chinese mythology, after a person dies, his soul will go to the underworld to be reincarnated. After the reincarnated soul drinks Meng Po soup, it will enter the body of the baby when the pregnant woman is in labor. Isn't the situation of Senior Chen Chu a standard reincarnation?"

The logic was as tight as the sky, and for a moment there was no way to refute it: "It does make sense."

Chen Chu looked at the two of them, and his apprehension was soothed, and a warm feeling appeared in his heart. Although Chen Chu was mentally prepared to deal with various situations the moment he knew his life experience, he still felt that he was an earthling in his heart, and hoped that others could recognize his identity. Now someone recognized him.

As for the Wind Lord, the mother who had used up all her power to send him to Earth, Chen Chu's emotions were complicated and he didn't want to think about it. If saving the world could succeed, they would have a chance to meet again, and maybe he would be able to figure things out.

After understanding the whole process, Qingkong wanted to know Chen Chu's next plan: "What are you going to do next? Follow their advice and start saving the world?"

Chen Chu thought for a moment and replied, "Report to the headquarters first."

Qingkong was surprised, then relieved. He was afraid that Chen Chu would ask him to keep it a secret and then start his own journey to save the world. If that happened, he would probably betray his friend.

Chen Chu didn't make it difficult for him, so Qingkong returned the favor by reminding him, "The headquarters will definitely ask you the same question as before, how are you going to answer it?"

They can accept Chen Chu's identity as an earthling and believe that Chen Chu will not do anything harmful to the earth, but the officials may not agree. Qingkong is not pessimistic. If he were a senior official and knew Chen Chu's identity, he would probably rather kill him than let him go.

Those who are not of my kind must have different hearts. For those in power, gambling on trust is a risk, and killing them is the option with the lowest cost.

After all, who knows whether the salvation he talks about is really that simple? Who can guarantee that the earth will be used as a backup behind the salvation?

Chen Chu: "Answer truthfully. I can't hide it. Although Tang Tianyuan has not told me my secret because of some jealousy, he will still tell me when the critical moment comes."

The Chinese are a very amazing nation. When they are fighting among themselves, they may be insidious and cunning, and do all kinds of evil, but when they are united against foreign enemies, they will be unprecedentedly united. A selfish and fearful person like Tang Tianyuan may suddenly become fearless in the face of national justice.

Qingkong: "The authorities might kill you."

Lin Yan was stunned: "Not really, saving the world can only be accomplished by Senior Chen Chu. The high priests only trust Senior Chen Chu."

Qingkong shook his head: "You are too naive. The high priest is the passive party in the matter of saving the world. They do trust Chen Chu, but they don't have to rely on Chen Chu. If Chen Chu dies, then he dies. As long as the high priest wants to revive Tianyu, he must ask for help from the earth."

Lin Nan understood and felt powerless in an instant. After thinking for a while, she suggested: "How about we not report it yet and try it ourselves. Anyway, the high priest said that he will help us collect the remaining catastrophic props. We just need to find a place to test whether the drought can really be suppressed after activation. If it can..."

Before Lin Yan could finish her words, Qingkong interrupted her: "If it can't be suppressed, the catastrophic item, once activated, will cause immeasurable harm."

Lin Yan: "I can recycle disaster items."

Qingkong looked at Lin Yan thoughtfully, and suddenly asked, "You are the one who recovered the map."

Lin Nan nodded.

Really?

Qingkong was shocked. Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly thought of something and shook his head, saying, "No, according to the high priest, your ability is related to the Heavenly Realm. Although I don't know what your ability is specifically, the Heavenly Realm belongs to Tianyu. If Tianyu at that time had a way to recycle the catastrophic items, why did it reach the point of world collapse? Even those venerables did not hesitate to seal these items with their lives? Wouldn't it be better to let your ability recycle them directly?"

Chen Chu had personally seen Lin Xi retrieve the geomatic map, but after hearing Qing Kong's analysis, he no longer had any doubts.

Chen Chu thought for a moment and guessed, "The energy of the geomagnetic map was almost completely dissipated at that time, so it is not considered to be activated?"

Lin Xi didn't try to guess, she asked the system directly in her heart.

Lin: "System, can you recover the catastrophic items after activation?"

System: “No.”

It's really not recyclable?!

Lin Yan was so shocked that she almost jumped out of her chair: "That's not what you said at the time."

System: "The map was dormant at the time."

Lin Xi: "Does that mean that if I had retrieved the map one minute later, you wouldn't have been able to retrieve it."

System: “I will try, but I may not succeed.”

Doesn't this mean it can't be recycled? Do you think I won't understand if you say it differently?

Lin Xi suddenly wanted to curse: "Can't you remind me? What if I'm late for recycling?"

System: "As indigenous people, if you don't care about your own world, it's ridiculous to expect others to care."

Lin Xi was speechless. After all, the Earth was the world where she lived. If even she, as an Earthling, was not nervous, then the system should not be nervous either.

However, Lin Xi was still a little angry: "Okay, then as a being in the sky, don't ask the earth for help."

System: "I made a deal with Earth's world consciousness."

Lin Yan grasped the key word: "World consciousness?"

Lin Xi: "Hello? Hello? You made a deal with Earth's world consciousness. What deal? Hello?"

The system seemed to know that it had accidentally let the cat out of the bag, and from then on, no matter how Lin Xi called out, it ignored her.

Seeing that Lin Nan didn't say anything, Chen Chu couldn't help but knock on the table. When Lin Nan looked over, he asked, "Are you sure that activated disaster items can also be recycled?"

Lin Xi, who was still wondering what the system was, shook her head.

Chen Chu felt a little disappointed, but still said, "We still have to report it. After all, it concerns the entire Earth plane, and we can't just rely on a few of us to make the decision."

Upon hearing this, Qingkong immediately distanced himself from the matter: "It has nothing to do with me."

He just came over to chat and then continued to pretend he didn't know.

Lin Xi said with a sad face: "Then should we be ready to donate our bodies at any time?"

Chen Chu's identity is special, and her identity is not much better. She can't explain her special ability clearly, and the headquarters will probably treat her the same way as Chen Chu.

The identity of the system cannot be revealed to the outside world, but Lin Xi has some guesses about the identity of the system. The system is most likely Tianyu's world consciousness.

Anything that can trade with Earth’s world consciousness must at least be of the same level, so the system is most likely Tianyu’s world consciousness.

Compared to Chen Chu, Lin Yan felt that she would die a more miserable death. Although Senior Chen Chu was a reincarnated spirit, there were billions of spirits in the universe, but she was the only world consciousness.

It's killing me.

Chen Chu laughed: "Not really."

Qingkong raised his eyes and looked at him: "It seems you have a solution."

Chen Chu nodded: "The high priest came to me with great fanfare, so I can't hide my identity, but Lin Nan is different. Outsiders don't know Lin Nan's special status yet."

Qingkong added in his heart with a blank expression: How come I am not an outsider? Sure enough, after chatting for a while, continuing to pretend that he didn't know anything was just a lie.

Chen Chu: "As for me, even if the authorities want to kill me, they have to be able to do so. I have been in the research institute for nearly three months, and I understand the strength of the Kunlun team. Fighting alone, I am not inferior to any of them. Of course, this is not enough, but I still have room for improvement."

Qingkong and Lin Xi took a deep breath when they heard this. If they could make further progress, they would be able to reach SSS level.

Chen Chu: "The reason why the Kunlun team is so powerful is because they got the inheritance crystal from the subspace. And I should have it too."

He didn't believe that Hurricane City, which owned the Lord of Wind, would not have the inheritance crystal.

Chen Chu: "If I can break through to the SSS level, or even the Venerable level, I will have the capital to negotiate."
