Chapter 86 Ending (I)
After shaking off the pursuers, Gu Nian finally had time to check the system task panel.
"Ding, life spirit detected (purified), host, will you store the life spirit into the system space?"
The white dragon looked at Gu Nian docilely, with pure light in both pupils.
Without resistance, Bailong successfully entered the system space.
The light tree that was still standing in Haicheng suddenly grew again. The virtual light tree projection covered the entire sky of the water blue planet!
"Congratulations to the host! You have successfully protected the planetary consciousness! The Blue Water Planet has finally grown and has its own planetary consciousness."
"Ding, the host has received a reward - Absolute Domain. Usage time: three seconds, range: ten meters. Reward description: Within the Absolute Domain, everything except the host is frozen."
Gu Nian was stunned. This was the first skill given to her by the system, and it was a reward after completing such a difficult task.
This reward...must be used well, Gu Nian thought.
Just at this moment, Gu Nian suddenly felt a tiny trace of consciousness gently tickling her mind, like a kitten patting it with its paw.
Is it... Lotus?
Gu Nian has already determined that the immature planetary consciousness existed in space in the form of a lotus from the beginning.
If someone looked from the universe at this moment, they would find that there was a barrier outside the entire blue water planet.
The barrier emitted soft yet firm fluctuations, announcing that the planet had its own conscious prayer.
Outside the Blue Water Star, there is a huge starship docked.
This starship is extremely wide and long, and is a colony ship sent from the planet Pelsheda.
Their home planet has long been on the verge of collapse. For hundreds of millions of light years, they have been barely surviving by colonizing primitive planets and plundering resources.
But the interstellar era also has its own rules.
Once a planet develops planetary consciousness, it declares that it has the right to join the Universal Federation and is no longer a primitive planet.
If Pelheda continues to be colonized, it will violate the Universal Convention.
"Tsk, failed." The person in charge of the starship turned the ship around without hesitation and headed for the next primitive planet.
"What about the other people on this planet?" someone asked.
"These useless things are no longer qualified to be our compatriots. Just stay on this elementary planet." The person in charge said coldly.
On the Blue Water Planet, Ymir, who was kneading dough, saw the tree of light that covered the sky.
He knew that the mother starship had already left, and this planet had officially become an independent planet.
And he finally gained his freedom.
Humming a song, Imir happily cleaned up the kitchen of the noodle shop.
Tian Jiaoyang also realized the same information as Ymir, but his reaction was completely different.
According to the cosmic treaty, the mother starship must evacuate at this time, but he did not receive any retreat information from the starship.
I have been abandoned.
Can never return to the home planet.
Tian Jiaoyang's heart was completely engulfed by despair.
Deeper than despair is hatred.
He must take revenge on the people of Blue Water Star!
The Planet Axis is his final tool of revenge.
Before, Tian Jiaoyang used the soil power of the Blue Water Star and the blood of the evolvers to cultivate the Axis of the Planet. Therefore, the Divine Liquid that the Axis of the Planet could produce was extremely scarce, which greatly slowed down Tian Jiaoyang's speed in building a monster army.
But now he is filled with hatred.
Tian Jiaoyang poured his spiritual power into the Axis of the Planet. In the next few days, the Axis of the Planet absorbed his spiritual power and secreted a large amount of Spiritual Induction Fluid.
That woman is now in Ancheng, and he must cultivate a large number of monsters as soon as possible to kill her.
To cultivate a large number of monsters, a large amount of raw materials is needed.
Huacheng is the closest urban base to Ancheng. This base is smaller than Ancheng. Now there are less than 5,000 people left in the entire city.
Outside of Huacheng, dust was flying all over the sky, and the earth was rumbling. In the dust, monsters appeared one after another.
These monsters were two or three stories high, like demons from a nightmare, with bent limbs, a jaw split open with tentacles sticking out, and only two air holes on their pale faces... Demons that only appear in the most absurd dreams have finally descended upon the human world.
The head of Huacheng Base stood at the city wall - this was even a city defense facility handed down from ancient times that had long since become a tourist attraction, but it once again played a role in the era of natural disasters.
The head of the base looked pale. He couldn't understand why these monsters were in Ancheng and came to Huacheng now. Moreover, they looked more terrifying than the monsters in Ancheng.
What should we do? Huacheng has no way of resisting such a monster army. It is too late to ask for help from the surrounding areas.
There were a few humans behind these monsters. Although the base commander had no idea what kind of humans would travel with such a group of monsters, the only way now was to contact these humans.
The trembling voice of the head of Huacheng Base was heard from the giant radio: "We are willing to surrender! The entire city can be handed over to you unconditionally!"
The head of Huacheng Base is willing to pay any price to save his life.
Tian Jiaoyang heard the voice of the head of Huacheng Base.
But he remained indifferent.
He doesn't need such weak humans.
All he needed were transformed monsters.
Tian Jiaoyang pointed lightly.
The terrifying monster army easily tore through the defenses of Huacheng. The buildings in the city were wantonly destroyed, the flames shook the sky, and the monsters wantonly vented their endless desire for destruction.
The cries of humanity soon died down, as drop after drop of the divine liquid transformed all humans into monsters.
The tragic situation from Huacheng soon spread to Ancheng.
Not only that, the tragic situation in Huacheng was spreading rapidly, and the nearby camps were completely destroyed.
In the center of the base in Ancheng, an emergency meeting to fight against monsters is being held.
Facing monsters, humans have no choice but to fight to the death.
Cities near Ancheng have rushed to Ancheng to gather as soon as possible, and Tian Mingyue from Haicheng, Yu Ziqiu from Jiangcheng, the person in charge of Yangcheng, and the Jing family's team of evolvers, including the hired hunters recruited by the Jing family in the Evolver Forum, have all gathered in Ancheng.
Some of them extended a helping hand to Gu Nian, some hated the Bethida sect to the core, and some could not sit idly by and watch the monsters, but now they were all sitting in the same conference room, ready to destroy all the monsters in one fell swoop.
"The most important thing now is to deal with Tian Jiaoyang," said the head of the Ancheng base. "These monsters all obey his orders and will act under his orders. Once Tian Jiaoyang is killed, the monsters will no longer have a unified goal and will scatter. Then we can divide and conquer them and eliminate them one by one."
"We must organize a team of elites to carry out a decapitation operation against Tian Jiaoyang tomorrow," he said.
Gu Nian took the initiative and said, "Let me do it."
Compared to others, she knew Tian Jiaoyang better. And Gu Nian knew very well that there were only three days left to complete the mission. If they could not stop Tian Jiaoyang and destroy the axis of the planet this time, they might not be able to stop the natural disaster, and everyone would die.
In this case, Gu Nian would rather take his fate into his own hands, take the initiative to lead the team, and make sure to kill Tian Jiaoyang.
The head of Ancheng Base couldn't ask for more. Gu Nian's Aurora Squad's reputation has spread far and wide, and everyone knows its prestige. Giving the decapitation operation to Gu Nian is the best choice.
The commander of the Ancheng base immediately agreed and promised Gu Nian that she could choose any equipment she wanted.
The monster army has begun to march towards Ancheng, and humans are ready.
Tomorrow is the day when all teams will go out to fight against Tian Jiaoyang.
It is also the last day for the system to prompt the main task.
Gu Nian already understood that if he failed to kill Tian Jiaoyang, Shuilan Star would still exist, but the people living on it would no longer be humans, but monsters.
What Tian Jiaoyang brought was a strange genetic pollution that could attack living things both physically and mentally.
That night, Gu Nian was unable to fall asleep for a long time, which was rare.
She put on her coat and went to look for Yuejian.
Yuejian saw her come in, asked her to sit down and made her some scented tea.
There was something indescribably pleasing about the way he made tea.
"Are you worried about something?" Yue Jian asked her.
Gu Nian hesitated for a long time and said, "I would like to ask you to help me tell my fortune."
Yuejian asked her, "What is that?"
"Will everything go smoothly tomorrow?" Gu Nian asked the question that was bothering him most.
Yuejian suddenly realized. No wonder she had this question.
He told Gu Nian a fortune, and three copper coins fell into the tortoise shell. Gu Nian was about to open it with his hands.
Yuejian, however, blocked the turtle shell and asked, "Are you sure you want to open it?"
Gu Nian was stunned.
Yuejian said calmly, "Let me tell you a story."
"Yeah." Gu Nian was puzzled, but still listened to him.
"During the Li Dynasty, there was a heroic prince. When he was young, he was feared and suppressed by his father. His wise ministers were killed. He saw that his power was also being eroded. Sooner or later, he would be deposed. So the prince decided to rush into the imperial city the next day, kill his brothers, force his father to pass on the throne, and find a way out for himself."
"There are many talented people around him. The night before the uprising, the prince was very nervous and didn't know what the outcome would be, so he asked someone to tell his fortune. When the fortune teller handed him the tortoise shell and was about to interpret the hexagram, another counselor stopped him."
"The counselor said that people ask for divination when they have doubts about something, but what they are going to do tomorrow is something they must do without any doubt. So if the result of the divination is not auspicious, will they not do it?"
Gu Nian just felt that everything suddenly became clear.
That's right. If Tian Jiaoyang is not killed, all human beings will be transformed into monsters sooner or later. What's the point of her hiding in the system space to live alone? She must nip Tian Jiaoyang's human extinction plan in the bud before the mutation created by him spreads completely.
Gu Nian just felt his mood calm down.
Only then did she ask the question she had always wanted to ask: "What about you? Are you worried about something?"
During this period, Gu Nian noticed that Yue Jianru stayed in his room all the time unless he went out. He never came out of the front door or the back door, and he was never seen. Thinking of his hesitation before, Gu Nian wanted to ask him if he had encountered something, but it was not until today that she found the opportunity.
Yue Jian hesitated for a while, but finally decided not to hide it from Gu Nian.
He stretched out his hand, showed Gu Nian his palm lines, and said, "I am going to die."
Gu Nian was stunned.
Yuejian said calmly, "The day is almost here."
Of course Gu Nian remembered that Yue Jian had told her that he was going to die soon, but she always thought that it would be a long, long time in the future, not just around the corner.
Before his death, Gu Nian couldn't say anything.
Instead, Yue Jian smiled carefreely and said, "My only wish is to help you tomorrow and seize that glimmer of hope, and also fulfill my duty as a member of the Jing family."
Gu Nian felt heavy-hearted and made up his mind to kill Tian Jiaoyang tomorrow no matter what.
Finally, it's time for the decisive battle.
The monster army came to Ancheng.
The evolvers guarding Ancheng faced the monsters head-on, and only then did they truly feel how terrifying they were. These monsters had mutated again, turning into terrifying beasts. It seemed that the genes of humans and evolved beasts were randomly scattered and polluted by the evil children, which created these terrifying monsters.
But the evolvers who were still fighting did not retreat. Behind them was their homeland, and they had nowhere to retreat. The radiance of various supernatural powers lit up, fiercely attacking the monsters rushing over.
The ones rushing in the front are the Evolvers, and behind them are the well-trained ordinary people. This time, Ancheng put all his guns into use, regardless of the cost. People pointed all kinds of guns at the monsters, and the fire and fragments from the bullets ignited.
At the end of the monster army, there was a line of jeeps loaded with various supplies. Tian Jiaoyang was in one of them.
There were many monsters guarding the convoy.
Tian Jiaoyang took the telescope and began to check the battle situation in the distance. The human evolutionists paid a heavy price at the hands of the monsters, and many people died screaming unwillingly, which made Tian Jiaoyang's twisted heart feel a little balanced.
As a loser, he has lost the chance to return to his home planet. Tian Jiaoyang's hatred can only be washed away by the wailing of the Blue Water Planet.
Hua Rong stood beside him and said excitedly: "These humans who dared to resist fate are about to be defeated! The glory of the god Bethida will surely spread all over the Blue Water Planet under your leadership!"
Tian Jiaoyang sneered, clenched his fingers, and said, "Nothing else matters, I must see the end of that woman named Gu Nian! I must kill her!"
"Want to kill me? Then come and try instead of just talking big." A voice sounded softly.
"Who is it?" Tian Jiaoyang was shocked.
He looked around and was about to summon the monsters around him to protect him.
There were so many monsters around him that Team Aurora fought their way out despite being injured, and finally managed to send Gu Nian and Yue Jian to the center.
Finally, they were only three meters away from Tian Jiaoyang. This was the limit. The further in, the tighter the monsters' defenses became.
Gu Nian gritted his teeth and decided to take a gamble.
Yuejian took a deep breath and tried his best to stop all the monsters. This was already his limit and he could only hold on for a few seconds at most.
But this was enough. Gu Nian put the arrow on the string, and the moment the arrow was just strung, she activated the domain.
Three seconds without being disturbed were enough for her to shoot an arrow.
Tian Jiaoyang watched Gu Nian's arrow getting closer and closer to him, but he was unable to move. He tried desperately to summon the monsters beside him to block the arrow for him, but those monsters seemed to have lost consciousness and stood there in a daze.
Absolute control.
Gu Nian quietly activated the supernatural power given to her by the system.
Gu Nian already understood that all the plug-ins given to her by the system were essentially dependent on the planetary consciousness. For example, now, although the planetary consciousness was supporting the Blue Water Planet and consumed a lot of spiritual power, the remaining spiritual power could still support Gu Nian's absolute domain within a certain range.
This is also the basis of Gu Nian's confidence in taking on the decapitation operation.
Tian Jiaoyang watched the arrow shoot into his chest. At the moment of death, he wanted to escape in the form of a spirit.
But it didn't work.
The planetary consciousness has been silently paying attention to this place. The light tree that supports the world dropped a branch, and the same illusory light-like branch tightly bound Tian Jiaoyang, or Yuer.
Gu Nian reached out and caught the branch. In the middle of the branch, there was a golden brain-shaped ball of light, struggling restlessly. That was Yuer's spirit body.
The time in the absolute domain had long since expired. The monsters had lost Tian Jiaoyang's orders and guidance. Without command, they were like wild beasts and quickly fled in all directions.
Gu Nian also found a tall sealed iron box in the largest jeep.
What is contained inside is the axis of the planet.
Seeing this strange cocoon, Gu Nian held her breath. She gently pulled out a root of the planet's axis and connected it to Yuer's spiritual body.
Yule began to scream. It was now a golden brain, but once it touched the roots of the planet's axis, the brain began to melt layer by layer, and the planet's axis began to gradually dissipate.
Yes, only by sacrificing the lives of the Bethida clan can the axis of the planet be destroyed.
The secret message received in Haicheng, in addition to betraying Tian Jiaoyang, also included information on how to destroy the axis of the planet.
Gu Nian had always been skeptical about this method of destroying the axis of the planet, but he just gave it a try regardless. Now, after seeing it for a while, he finally felt relieved.
This method is real.
Yule knew that his death was imminent and the axis of the planet was doomed to destruction.
A wave of unwillingness emanated from the golden brain, and at the last moment, Yuer transmitted mental fluctuations to Gu Nian.
"Do you think... you can save Blue Water Planet in this way?"
"You humans, and even the genes of animals, have been polluted! Pollutants will always exist on this land..."
The axis of the planet finally disappeared completely, and Yule died with it.
"Ding, congratulations to the host for completing the ultimate mission of the main line! The natural disaster has been lifted, the planet's consciousness has grown smoothly, and the host has full authority over the space!" The system finally jumped out and gave a prompt.
Very good.
Gu Nian thought that it was finally completed on the last day.
She laughed softly.
Gu Nian knew that what Yuer said was not just alarmist talk before his death. The genetic pollution brought by the Divine Fluid had already invaded the bodies and spirits of the creatures on the Blue Water Planet, and they might really exist forever on this land.
But no matter what, the world-destroying crisis was finally resolved.
I think that humans in the future will always be able to find a way to survive under pollution.
The world has been completely changed by natural disasters, but after the change, humans still exist.
