Chapter 463: Towards the Future
In fact, Yu Sheng knew that not only Irene didn't understand this matter, but probably no one else could fully understand it either - because he was the only one who had established a "connection" with the seed of the derivative star body, and a lot of the information conveyed by this connection was difficult to describe in words.
He had many conjectures and plans about the Dark Angels—not only how to deal with their threats, but also how to trace the origins of these "outsiders."
He is interested in what is happening outside the world and at the edge of the universe.
And this "seed" from outside the world will be a breakthrough.
Yu Sheng still remembered what he saw in the hyperspace, the "information giant structure" built by the "Creator" at the bottom layer of the universe, and the data and logic used to describe everything and define the laws and order. Although with his limited knowledge, he still couldn't understand how that information could support the operation of everything, but at least he now had a vague guess:
Since this world is supported by those information giants, the essence of the invasion of the Dark Angel can perhaps be explained in one sentence - the information pollution phenomenon caused by objects outside the system after entering the system.
Yu Sheng also had the impression that Hu Li had said something similar about "the foundation of the world is information". It seemed that in her hometown world, people's research on the laws of the universe had reached such a deep and fundamental level - this also confirmed his current conjecture.
The "ascension cycle" of the stellar body was broken and a seed was successfully left behind, proving that the "information pollution" phenomenon in the above conjecture is not uncontrollable. So if this seed is allowed to grow, what use will the "transformation data characteristics" it carries be used for...
Behind the main building of the Fire Guard Cathedral, there is a large open space.
Luna called this open space the "Soul Courtyard". She and her knights built a large corridor around the courtyard that encircles the entire area. The courtyard itself is still vacant. Her original plan was to erect a 40-meter-high statue of Yu Sheng here, but since Yu Sheng himself learned about this and protested against it, the plan was shelved.
Now, Yu Sheng dug a pit in the center of the "Soul Courtyard".
"Are you sure this thing can really just be... 'planted' and grow something?" Irene crossed her arms in the painting, watching Yu Sheng busily working with suspicion. "I'm not doubting your farming skills, it's mainly about this place. Before, you thought the flowers and plants here were all gray and ugly, so you brought seeds in from outside to try, but you found that nothing would grow here."
Listening to the beeping of the little puppet, Yu Sheng just smiled confidently: "Don't worry, it will grow... In fact, let alone here, as long as it is in this world, anywhere, this seed can take root, because its essence is an 'information cluster'. What it needs is not soil and sunlight, but an 'operation license'."
"...I don't understand what you're saying, it's all nonsense," Irene scratched her hair, and then saw Yu Sheng burying the seeds in the pit, and she became a little worried again, "This thing really won't get out of control, right? I've seen movies say that, spores from alien planets, strains dug out from mysterious ruins, embryos dropped from outer space, and scientists must be desperate to activate them, and then many people die, and the cast list has black boxes..."
Yu Sheng was burying the dirt with his head down, but when he heard the little thing's beeping, he couldn't help but ask, "Can't you just make a good wish? Why are you so eager for bad luck?"
"I'm not just worried about a rainy day... what am I worried about? Anyway, I'm pretty worried." Irene climbed onto her big chair in the painting, picked up the stuffed bear and put it under her chin, her face wrinkled. "After all, you're always courting death, and your deaths have been getting more and more tragic lately."
"Don't worry, I won't lose control," Yu Sheng glanced helplessly at the little doll. "In essence, this seed, like Shu Ji, is already a part of me. How can I describe it... Oh, yes, this is a connection at the information level."
As Irene listened to Yu Sheng's explanation, her eyes gradually became clear.
But after Yu Sheng finished speaking, he seemed to suddenly think of something. He hesitated for a moment, then looked up and stared into the eyes of the little doll.
"You said you were worried about this thing getting out of control. Did you really have a premonition of something, like when you usually say I have a 'blood disaster', or was it just a casual remark?"
Irene was startled by his sudden seriousness. She shrank back in her chair before carefully examining Yu Sheng for a moment. Then, she lowered her head to look at the spot where the Derivative Star Body Seed was buried. She tilted her head in thought for a long moment before finally saying, "Just a casual remark... I don't see anything special about it."
Yu Sheng was immediately relieved: "Oh, that's all."
Irene stared at the painting in a daze. She didn't know what she was thinking about, but suddenly she became happy. She turned the frame to look at the blonde girl next to her: "Hey! Look at the C-shaped buckle! Yu Sheng even asked for my opinion on such a thing - let me tell you, I'm a professional in the field of mysticism. I'm different from you who only know how to chop people. I'm a wise general, you know what a wise general is..."
Luna sighed, and walked away unbearably, muttering in a very low voice: "He is just a retard..."
In the end, Irene didn't hear it clearly and was still boasting in the air.
Yu Sheng carefully sprinkled the last shovel of soil on the star-derived seed, then breathed a sigh of relief.
The seed is sleeping lightly in the soil, and it seems that it has not yet woken up from the sweet dream of growing luxuriant branches and leaves, but it has gradually become aware of the existence of "soil" - a gentle, safe, and good place that is willing to allow it to take root and grow.
Yu Sheng could feel that tiny ripples were gradually appearing on the surface of the crystal. It was trembling slightly, and some crystal branches so small that they were barely noticeable to the naked eye were extending in the darkness.
After that, it will slowly become familiar with this place, will take root in the wilderness of the soul, will sprout and grow, it will absorb the nutrients provided by life, and grow into... the appearance in that beautiful dream.
"That's enough." Yu Sheng clapped his hands, turned around, and his eyes fell on Yun Qingzi again.
The old man had been silent from the beginning, observing Yu Sheng's every move with curiosity and attentiveness. Only then did he stroke his beard and sigh, "The Tao has no end..."
"I don't understand whether it's right or not," Yu Sheng waved his hand, "Let's talk about you, what are your plans for the future?"
Yun Qingzi was obviously stunned.
Then he stared at Yu Sheng for a long while before suddenly saying, "Isn't it to refine the soul and then send me to reincarnation?"
This time it was Yu Sheng's turn to be visibly stunned.
“…I can’t!”
Yun Qingzi: “…Ah?!”
As soon as the old man said "Ah?", Yu Sheng knew that this was a big misunderstanding. He quickly waved his hands and brainstormed for a while, trying to think of how to explain his current situation to Yun Qingzi. After thinking for a long time, he finally spoke:
"That's the situation. You are indeed dead, but I stopped you halfway dead, so you are now a 'living' spirit. And from what you described, you should have completely recovered the spirit of 'Yun Qingzi'. You are free now, and with your level of Taoism, even if you are a spirit, you should be able to live well after you get out.
"So you can make your own choice now. You can stay here, but to be honest, you may not be able to get used to this place. You can also go out. I can open the door and send you to the real world, either Shuji or Taixu Lingshu.
"Of course, if you've had enough of living and really want to die, that's fine. I'll spit blood all over your face and then dismantle your spirit body. You'll die. This time, I can guarantee that I'll dismantle it completely, and there won't be any risk of resurrection..."
Yu Sheng's words were quite straightforward, and Yun Qingzi was a little stunned when he heard them.
Seeing that the old man didn't respond for a long time, Yu Sheng spoke again: "What, are you sure you want to die?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Yun Qingzi came to his senses and waved his hand: "Forget it, I think it's better to be alive than to be dead."
Yu Sheng was happy: "Then send you back to Taixu Lingshu?"
This time, Yun Qingzi thought about it seriously, but a hint of helplessness appeared on his face. "Ah, good... and bad. I don't have many old friends in Taixu Lingshu anymore, and I really owe Taixu Lingshu a lot regarding the 'Yanxing Body Disaster'. Going back... I really don't know how I can face it."
Listening to the old man's words, Yu Sheng couldn't help but be curious: "Didn't you tell me back in the memory space of the Derivative Star Body that you were quite carefree? What about having committed a crime that was already full of evil, and that this little bit of sin that caused the suffering of many lives was nothing... Why are you still entangled in it now?"
Yun Qingzi spread his hands after hearing this and spoke very frankly: "At that time, I didn't expect that I would be alive - since I'm dead, I have to speak more confidently."
Yu Sheng: “…”
Is this the personality of the complete version of Yun Qingzi?
He was slightly surprised, then heard Yun Qingzi speak again: "To be honest, fellow Daoist, I am indeed a little... confused right now. They say that life and death are the most difficult things to understand and let go of, and this life and death... My cultivation is indeed still a little shallow. Now I don't know how to 'return to the human world', nor do I know what to do in the future. If I must say..."
Yun Qingzi paused here and let out a sigh.
"Ah, I'm tired, very tired. I don't have any big ambitions right now. I just want a quiet place to rest my feet. If there's a secluded valley in the mountains where I can build a hut and live, that would be great. Or if you have any leisurely tasks to do here, fellow Daoist, I'd be happy to help."
Yu Sheng blinked as he listened to the other person's words. After thinking for a few seconds, he suddenly clapped his hands and said, "Hey, you really shouldn't say that..."
Yun Qingzi immediately raised his head.
Yu Sheng: "I have an orphanage here, and we are in need of a security guard..."
