Chapter 77 Follow-up
This tree of light that supports the world has become a miracle remembered by everyone on the Blue Water Planet.
In the legends of various countries in the Blue Water Planet, there are legends about the World Tree. In the Dragon Country, there is Jianmu, which is said to connect the sky above and the ground below, allowing gods and humans to travel. In the mythology of the Bison Country, there is a giant tree called Yggdrasil, with three roots clearly extending to Asgard, Jotunheim, and Niflheim.
There are many similar legends.
Unexpectedly, just when the natural disaster was about to strike, this huge tree of light really appeared! It propped up the sky and stabilized the broken earth. Almost at the moment of its appearance, the abnormal climate in the world stagnated, then began to decline and gradually returned to normal.
This became the hope in everyone's heart.
On global forums and websites, everyone is discussing this tree of light like crazy.
However, Gu Nian, the person who was most closely related to Guang Shu, was currently resting in his tent.
After a scuffle with Tian Jiaoyang, while Haicheng was still in the chaos of the sudden arrival and disappearance of the natural disaster, Gu Nian led the Aurora team back to the camp in a low-key manner, and then lay down in the tent.
After going through so much, Gu Nian was exhausted both physically and mentally. However, lying in bed, she found it difficult to fall asleep.
She clicked on the system's main task panel again.
The panel has been updated again.
Main quest (ultimate): Relieve natural disasters and protect planetary consciousness.
A light spot appeared again on the map attached to the main quest. It was Ancheng, the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties and the location of the dragon vein of the legendary Dragon Kingdom.
Gu Nian began to think about this task. The system prompts that it is the ultimate task, it seems that this is the final task.
Gu Nian could roughly guess what the task panel mentioned about lifting the natural disaster. The moment Tian Jiaoyang took away the Axis of the Planet, the second largest tsunami appeared out of nowhere. Combined with the past earthquakes in Yangcheng, it was obvious that the natural disaster was closely related to the Axis of the Planet in Tian Jiaoyang's hand. It was even possible that the Axis of the Planet caused the natural disaster.
In order to resolve the natural disaster, we must find the source of the disaster, the axis of the planet, and then destroy it.
But how to protect planetary consciousness?
That light tree, the embodiment of planetary consciousness, still stands between heaven and earth, supporting this broken world. It is still a new life form, and is now protecting the Blue Water Planet at the cost of burning itself. Humans must also give back to this light tree in order to finally protect the Blue Water Planet.
Gu Nian's heart darkened when she thought of this. Ever since the light tree appeared, no matter how she called for Lotus or entered the space to look for it, she never saw Lotus again.
Gu Nian's long-standing speculation was confirmed. The lotus was the planetary consciousness born from this mysterious space. In this mysterious space, the only creature whose origin could not be found was the lotus. If a new life was really born in the space, the most likely one would be the lotus kitten.
Gu Nian thought back to the days when she and Lotus went to the wilderness together. At that time, the wilderness had just appeared and the plants had just mutated. No one knew the names and characteristics of the plants, but Lotus knew them. In fact, it was only for one reason. It was a planetary consciousness that had not yet been fully born, but it still knew every creature on this planet like breathing.
Has the lotus kitten, who loves the hustle and bustle, not wanting to stay in space and always likes to be with me, now turned into that huge tree of light? Will it feel lonely and tired when it has to protect the world alone, even though it loves to act like a spoiled child?
Gu Nian felt distressed when she thought of this. She wanted to help Lianhua, but she had no idea how to protect the axis of the planet.
For now, she could only follow the system map and go to Ancheng to check the situation first. She also had to quickly track down Tian Jiaoyang's whereabouts and destroy the planet's axis as soon as possible.
Gu Nian took a deep breath, relaxed, and fell into a deep sleep. He would talk about it tomorrow.
After the light tree appeared and the natural disaster stopped, all the injured at the scene were sent to the hospital. This included Tian Mingyue. She received a blood transfusion and finally woke up. After all, she was an evolver. After the blood transfusion, she was able to struggle to walk. She insisted on going back to her home. Her confidant couldn't persuade her, so he had to drive her back.
It was already early morning and Tian Mingyue passed by unconsciously on her way home.
Tian Mingyue's mother was born into a political family and was the only daughter of a prominent family. Ever since she married Tian Mingyue's father, Tian Hanwen, Tian Mingyue's grandfather had devoted himself to cultivating Tian Hanwen, and had not even paid that much attention to Tian Mingyue's mother.
Tian Hanwen also respected her grandfather very much. When her grandfather passed away, it was Tian Hanwen who took care of him. They understood each other spiritually, and could even be said to be father and son without any blood relationship. Tian Mingyue's mother seemed to have been born in the wrong family. Perhaps in the eyes of Tian Mingyue's grandfather, Tian Hanwen was supposed to be born in his family, but he was born in the wrong family and Tian Mingyue's mother took his place.
Tian Hanwen didn't like Tian Mingyue's mother. They had been a couple who respected each other for many years and gave birth to Tian Jiaoyang and Tian Mingyue.
Tian Hanwen was also quite nice to Tian Mingyue. She had been living a life of luxury since she was a child. Compared to many girls, she was already very lucky. If there was no comparison with Tian Jiaoyang.
Whenever Tian Mingyue asked Tian Hanwen questions, Tian Hanwen would just answer casually or say that his father was busy with work. Whenever Tian Jiaoyang asked questions, Tian Hanwen would hold him on his knees and explain everything bit by bit, from history to philosophy to society. That was his son, he had to inherit his legacy, so he couldn't raise a fool.
When Tian Jiaoyang just started high school, Tian Hanwen began to plan his future path. He had to consider Tian Jiaoyang's strengths so that he could choose a major, and then get to know some uncles and godfathers, and decide where to build up his resume after graduation so that he could be promoted. This would not only convince everyone and pave the way for him, but also save time.
As for Tian Mingyue, she just needs to dress up nicely, get an education that can be used as a dowry, and prepare to get married.
Tian Mingyue understood a truth very early on: the reason why she lived in luxury was simply because her family was not short of money. Her family's resources, connections and relationships had nothing to do with her.
If her family had no money, she should be thankful to be able to go to college like many other girls. As for the house and savings? They must belong to her brother, so she shouldn't even think about it.
It's that simple.
What Tian Hanwen gave her was indifference and money that slipped through his fingers.
But what about Tian Mingyue? What kind of person does Tian Mingyue want to be? If Tian Hanwen doesn't care, should she just obey his decision and not care?
Tian Mingyue returned home.
Tian Hanwen's hair had turned completely white. The usually serious and energetic man suddenly looked old. Now he looked like an old man.
Tian Mingyue understood how much of a blow it was to him to lose the son he had so carefully raised.
She greeted him, "Dad."
Tian Hanwen looked at her, a mixture of pain and disappointment, and said woodenly: "Your brother is gone."
Tian Mingyue poured hot water for Tian Hanwen, helped him sit down, and said, "Dad, you still have me. I will take care of you."
Tian Hanwen shook his head and thought, she doesn't understand. What can a girl understand? The greatest merit she can achieve in this life is to be able to take care of her husband and children. Politics has always been a man's business, and Tian Mingyue can't bring the Tian family to another level.
Tian Mingyue tried her best to bring him some hot water. "Dad, drink some hot water. I added some ginseng slices. It's good for your health."
This usually unruly daughter suddenly showed a soft side, and Tian Hanwen felt a little caring. She finally understood and stopped being tough with him. But he also had a hint of contempt, thinking that women were more suitable for doing these things.
Tian Hanwen drank hot water and thought about his worries. He was thinking about the young talents in Haicheng who could be his son-in-law. In the past, Tian Mingyue didn't want to get married, and he didn't force her, but Tian Jiaoyang was already like this, and he couldn't let Tian Mingyue be willful anymore. Without a son, he could only count on his son-in-law.
At this moment, Tian Hanwen suddenly felt a sharp pain in his heart.
He opened his eyes wide in astonishment and began to cough violently. His daughter beside him gently supported him.
"What...what happened? Call a doctor quickly." Tian Hanwen said panting.
"The doctors are very busy. During this natural disaster, many people are waiting for doctors to save their lives and are lining up. Dad, you'd better die," said Tian Mingyue.
Tian Hanwen looked at her in shock. His brain suddenly shut down. What was going on? He couldn't understand.
"Tian Jiaoyang could be the son of God sent by the Bethida sect. You are also in this sect, right? But you didn't expect that he was actually sent by God." Tian Mingyue used an affirmative sentence.
Tian Mingyue is not a fool. On the contrary, she has made it to the position of senior researcher of Noah by herself. Her IQ is much higher than Tian Jiaoyang's. Seeing Tian Jiaoyang's fearless performance, and knowing that all of Tian Jiaoyang's decisions were influenced by Tian Hanwen, and recalling many details of her family, Tian Mingyue realized that the person in charge of the Bethida sect in Haicheng that her friend Yu Ziqiu asked her to find was in her home.
Tian Hanwen opened his eyes wide in surprise, as if he was meeting his daughter for the first time. He played dumb: "Mingyue, what are you talking about?"
Tian Mingyue smiled and continued, "The chaotic times are not scary. The crazy times are the ladder to move up. This is what you said when you were telling Tian Jiaoyang about history when we were young."
Tian Mingyue looked at him. After all, she was his daughter. From Tian Hanwen's expression, Tian Mingyue knew that she didn't guess. She smiled softly. Look, this is Tian Hanwen.
Tian Hanwen tried to smile. He realized that his daughter must have found out something, so he had to calm her down. He said, "Mingyue, Daddy is doing this for the family. If Daddy is doing well, you will do the same. Are you going to kill Daddy just because he was confused for a moment? You are Daddy's little cotton-padded jacket, Daddy's most beloved daughter."
Tian Mingyue supported him, patted his back gently, and said, "Dad, I love you. But, that's it."
"When I was a kid, I fought with Tian Jiaoyang. Every time I got hurt, I didn't cry, but Tian Jiaoyang was a crybaby. I looked down on him since I was a kid. I'm stronger than him, but it's useless as long as you're here. With you helping him, he'll look stronger than me."
Tian Hanwen heard it and quickly coaxed him, "Are you blaming dad for being partial? Dad apologizes to you. Actually, you are the one that dad loves the most. When would he let you suffer?"
Tian Mingyue laughed. She thought Tian Hanwen was funny.
She said, "Look, your vision is limited to this. Because I am a woman, you always think that I want love. Your love is not a precious thing, why do you need it? The luxury I want is power."
"I don't want to be a bright moon that only reflects the light of others. I have things I want too. But as long as you are here, you will block my way. But if you die, I can get all the resources of the Tian family. After you die, I will pretend that you committed suicide out of guilt because of Tian Jiaoyang's mistakes. Then I can get more sympathy points, and there will be a bright and smooth road ahead of me."
"You and Tian Jiaoyang were my biggest obstacles alive. Fortunately, you are both dead."
"I'm underground with Tian Jiaoyang, watch me and see how high I can go."
Tian Hanwen widened his eyes in disbelief. He was panicked. Fear, terror, regret and anger crept onto his face one by one, and finally froze in the fear of death.
Tian Mingyue gently closed his eyes.
She thought she would make a good politician.
When Gu Nian woke up the next day, he found that Haicheng had quickly organized post-disaster reconstruction.
As a senior researcher at Noah, Tian Mingyue is active on the front line of natural disaster reconstruction.
As a senior member of the Bethida sect, Tian Jiaoyang kidnapped the child of the inductees, which obviously caused damage to Haicheng, but Tian Mingyue did not choose to protect her relatives, but firmly chose justice. Her father was heartbroken and guilty because of his son, so he chose to commit suicide. Overnight, she lost all her relatives again.
This won Tian Mingyue both respect and sympathy.
When she really began to appear in the public eye, her rich knowledge, infectious conversation, and powerful work program quickly won the hearts of the people.
In just a few days, she became a shining star in Haicheng's political arena. She quickly took over the connections that the Tian family had in Haicheng's political arena and military, and prepared to run for the next mayor after Haicheng was rebuilt.
Gu Nian gave her her sincere blessings.
There are too many hypocrites in this world. Compared to what everyone says, Gu Nian trusts people's true heart in the choices they make in extreme situations. When the natural disaster came, Tian Mingyue could have closed her eyes and enjoyed a luxurious life of privilege, but she chose to run around and set up a relief organization. Between life and death, Tian Mingyue chose to risk her life to rescue a strange child like Feng Tingting.
Gu Nian believed that she was more suited to power than many people.
At this time, the Beshida sect had been officially identified as an anti-human organization, and Haicheng officials issued an order to hunt down the sect members. All members had been arrested, and their crimes would be tried and supervised.
The description of the sect members has also been distributed to the identity chips of all surviving residents in Haicheng. It can be read by logging in with a mobile phone. The public is encouraged to report suspects in a timely manner.
The main target of the arrest was Imir, who could certainly provide more information than ordinary believers.
Sheng Zhujun's noodle shop finally opened again.
Imir was kneading flour in the back kitchen, and he was very nervous. In the front shop, someone was talking to Sheng Zhujun in a low voice.
"Hey, you have to be careful! I saw the guy who came to see your guy the other day was..." The customer looked around carefully and then whispered a name.
In the kitchen, Ymir's hands froze, and for the first time he was at a loss. He hated his keen hearing.
"Get out! What nonsense are you talking about! When will you change your blind habit? What can you see with your myopic eyes?" The next second, Sheng Zhujun's voice rang out.
After a while, the curtain of the kitchen was lifted.
Sheng Zhujun walked in.
Ymir buried his head in kneading the dough and suddenly didn't dare to face her.
"Stop rubbing it." Sheng Zhujun said.
Ymir's heart sank to the bottom.
"Let's leave Haicheng."
Ymir turned his head in confusion, suddenly feeling that he couldn't keep up with her train of thought, "Why?"
Sheng Zhujun rolled his eyes: "Why else? Run away!"
She sat down and scratched her head in annoyance. "We've lived together for so long, do you think I'm really stupid? Can't I see any clues?"
Ymir was at a loss. He dared not say anything.
Sheng Zhujun was lost in thought. After a long moment, she sighed and said, "All my relatives died in the natural disaster. Xiaoyi, we survived the natural disaster together, and you are my relative now."
"It's a bit selfish, but people are all double-standard. Let's go and pack our things."
Half an hour later, when the official evolvers who received the report arrived, they saw only an empty noodle shop.
Tian Mingyue found Gu Nian and asked her if she would like to meet the current mayor of Haicheng.
At first, the light tree emerged from Gu Nian's hands. This was discovered by the official evolvers at the scene. Gu Nian did not expect that this news would be kept secret.
Now the person in charge of Haicheng did not come to Gu Nian directly, but invited him through Tian Mingyue, which in itself was sending a signal of goodwill.
Gu Nian thought that perhaps it was time to have a talk with the authorities.
When the mayor of Haicheng saw Gu Nian, the first question he asked was: "Now... has the natural disaster subsided?"
After thinking for a while, Gu Nian gave an answer: "The tree is still very fragile. It is just a new life form and is struggling to hold on. We still need to continue to find a solution."
"Is there anything we can do to help?" the mayor asked.
Gu Nian made a request that she had thought of long ago: "I need to go to Ancheng. It is very likely that Tian Jiaoyang escaped with the Planet Axis. It would be great if someone could be arranged to pick me up in Ancheng."
The mayor of Haicheng agreed. Once he had negotiated with Ancheng, Gu Nian would lead the Aurora team to Haicheng.
When Gu Nian left, he also invited Gu Nian to open a branch of Aurora in Haicheng and gave him tax incentives.
"We have also heard of the good reputation of Aurora animal food, which is a product we really need," he said.
It’s true.
Tian Mingyue told Gu Nian that the natural disaster completely changed the ecology of Haicheng. Many sea monsters appeared, and humans needed to explore how to continue to survive in this environment. Perhaps breeding and domesticating sea monsters is also a way. It is precisely because of this that the mayor took the initiative to invite Gu Nian to open a branch of Aurora Mutant Animal Food.
Fortunately, the signal base station has been repaired. Cities can now communicate with each other, but the cost of this communication is much higher than before the disaster, and only a small number of people can use it.
Gu Nian finally received news from Jiangcheng.
Tan Cang sent a work email to Gu Nian, reporting on the production progress of the Aurora factory. It must be said that the financial report is very impressive, and it has now gone beyond Jiangcheng and covered the nearby urban bases.
Gu Nian replied to him with an email. Let's leave the matter of opening the Aurora branch in Haicheng to Manager Tan.
Gu Nian suddenly had a strange idea. Maybe by the time the natural disaster was over, Aurora would have become a giant enterprise.
Of course, the premise is that the world will not become a wasteland, but a new life.
For this, she also has to work hard to complete the task.
Three days later, the mayor of Haicheng sent a message to Gu Nian, telling her that everything was done.
Gu Nian decided to set off for Ancheng.
Before leaving, she went to visit Feng Tingting. Feng Tingting survived and was officially confirmed as an evolver, a rare psychic ability. As long as she can grow up healthily, she will become a powerful evolver with her psychic ability.
Feng Tingting has been in hospital. The child is relatively fragile and needs to be observed for a period of time to avoid sequelae.
Maomaozi was also there to accompany her.
The two little ones who lost their loved ones were finally handed over to Tian Mingyue for care. The other two girls whose blood was sucked by the planet axis have also found guardians.
It was not until later that Gu Nian discovered that the child who was found together with the Spirit of Wind was called Maomao.
Only then did she understand that sometimes, we always think that it is right to sacrifice one person for the world, but the fact is just the opposite. The reason why we think the world is important is because there is at least one person you think is important.
Everything has been arranged, the only mystery is who sent the revealing text message to Gu Nian.
Tian Mingyue helped her investigate and finally found out that it was an anonymous phone card. Who this person is is still unknown.
Gu Nian guessed that maybe that was a believer who betrayed the Bethida religion.
Gu Nian led the Aurora team away from Haicheng.
Feng Tingting insisted on sending her off with Tian Mingyue.
The little girl squinted her eyes and watched the huge falcons take off majestically, flying higher and higher until they could no longer be seen.
Feng Tingting suddenly said: "I also want to be such a person in the future."
"What kind of person?" Tian Mingyue asked back.
"Like you, like Sister Gu, who are strong and can protect others." Feng Tingting said seriously.
"Then you have to work harder." Tian Mingyue encouraged.
"Well, eat an extra bowl of rice today and grow taller." Feng Tingting waved her little fist.
Tian Mingyue was amused. I hope she can have a happier tomorrow than me.
