Chapter 154 Later
"...According to the video records at that time, the Nine Nether Tribulations were eliminated in a shower of starlight that descended upon the entire human world."
The professor pressed the play button.
In the video, the sky suddenly emitted a dazzling light.
After the light, the traces of the cracks in the sky disappeared. At the same time, a stream of light spots fell from the sky, like meteors falling into the human world.
The light spots floated in the air, dispelling the chill brought by hell, fell on the treetops, making the withered branches glow with new green, fell on people, and merged into their bodies. Everyone felt a warm current surging through their bodies.
The evil spirits of hell were unable to dodge after encountering the light spots, and in a moment they turned into a wisp of gray smoke and returned to the Yellow Spring River.
"After the catastrophe, the authorities planned to make a documentary about the Nine Nether Tribulation, but the Immortal Venerable's only disciple in this world refused. In the end, the Shen family produced a product that was purchased from people around the world who had filmed the scene at that time. The images were only simply edited. He believed that these images were the best restoration of the scene at that time."
The students in the audience stared at the big screen.
They are now twenty years old and are eyewitnesses of the disaster ten years ago. They watched this documentary when it was first released and have watched it countless times in the past ten years. But every time they watch it, they still can't bear the shock in their hearts.
For this man who completely changed the course of history and saved the world - no, it should be called the Immortal, almost everyone is his fan.
His live broadcasts were watched repeatedly, and the places he had visited were marked one by one. They not only became popular tourist attractions, but also the focus of scientific research.
The gorgeous starlight shower that fell before he disappeared completely changed the way people live.
The bell rang, and the professor ended the video and said, "Today's class ends here. You must report the relevant group research topics to me within a week. You can choose your own team members, with a minimum of two people. The score of this topic accounts for 30% of the semester's score, so don't mess around. Class dismissed." The professor finished the lecture and slowly left with his flying magic weapon, not wanting to walk a step further.
Yes, a flying magic weapon, almost everyone has one now. This is another big change that the Immortal Venerable has brought to everyone.
After the starlight shower, it was as if everyone's Ren and Du meridians were opened, and they could practice without a teacher. Although the progress was fast or slow, everyone knew how to draw Qi into the body.
After the disaster, the subordinates of the Immortal Venerable continued to give lectures, which benefited almost everyone.
For example, now.
After the professor left, the students began to pack their things. With a fingertip, the various textbooks and stationery went into their bags without any need to do anything.
The students left in groups of three or five. Some of them stepped on their flying magic tools to slightly lift off the ground, while others simply omitted the magic tools and floated in the air. There were not only people on the ground, but also people in the low sky. The flying magic tools almost became a daily means of transportation.
Of course, in order to avoid unnecessary trouble and prevent accidental falls and hitting people, low-altitude flying requires a certificate. After passing the test, you can fly with a certificate, otherwise you will be knocked to the ground by the restrictions in the air.
In addition to this, there are countless other changes, and cultivation has almost been integrated into everyone's life.
In this room, in order to catch up with the next class, the students quickly walked around the crowd and occasionally heard a few words of mobile phone news played by others.
[…Today, the police department will merge with the special investigation bureau. The new department will be officially named the Case Security Investigation Department, abbreviated as the Police Department. It will be directly led by the central government, and Shen Que will be appointed as the director and Chao Qinghe as the deputy director. The handover ceremony was held in D City this afternoon…]
…
D City, opposite Tianhe Garden.
The old shops on the street were demolished, and a building that took three years to build was completed last week. It was ready to be cut with a ribbon today when the two bureaus merged and Shen Que took office.
This is a property donated by the Shen family as a gift for Shen Que's first day in office. It will soon become the headquarters office building of the Case Security Investigation Department.
Many people have come to the outside of the police investigation department building.
There are government officials, the heads and disciples of various sects, demon cultivators, and ghost cultivators.
They were led into the auditorium.
The protagonist of this time, Shen Que, was still in the Tianheyuan villa opposite.
He was wearing a uniform, standing upright in front of the floor-to-ceiling mirror, adjusting his collar.
In ten years, Shen Que has lost his youthful temperament and become mature and introverted, with his sharp edge hidden.
"Are you really going to take over this position?" Another voice sounded outside the living room. It was Shen Ming.
In ten years, Shen Ming's appearance has not aged, but his temperament has become much more stable. At this time, he was squatting by the rockery pond in the back garden, teasing an inky grass turtle.
The grass turtle was as black as ink, with only two white rings on its tail. It was not bothered by touching Shen Ming's fingers, and it still lay still in the sun, looking very comfortable.
On the rockery, a slender green snake was lazily hanging on the branches. If you didn't look carefully, you would think it was a colored hemp rope.
"Take it, this is the master's expectation." Shen Que said in a gentle voice.
Gu Yanyi's words "protect the human world" ten years ago made Shen Que practice for ten years.
During these ten years, he started out fighting alone to eliminate the ghosts in the Yellow Springs River that were stranded in the human world.
Later, for unknown reasons, a group of followers gradually gathered behind him.
They regarded themselves as his followers and followed him to take care of the peace in the human world.
Shen Que didn't care much about them. He thought it was troublesome and it would be more convenient to do things on his own. But occasionally, when the group of people faced something they couldn't solve by themselves,
they would ask him for help. For the reason that "these people are also part of the human world", he usually lend a hand.
The days passed like this.
Suddenly one day, Shen Que suddenly received a call from Ren Changlin, asking him whether a certain organization was related to him and whether he had founded it?
Shen Que was confused.
After some investigation, Shen Que confirmed that the so-called organization he founded did not do anything against the will of heaven and earth, so he let it go.
Later, through the propaganda of this organization, people in the world gradually knew his identity.
Six years later, the remaining problems of the Nine Nether Disaster were completely solved, and those evil cultivators mixed in the human world were found one by one. The world returned to the peace before the disaster - relative peace.
With all the people cultivating immortals, and the appearance of demon cultivators, ghost cultivators and ancient bloodlines, new problems followed one after another.
Ren Changlin, as the former acting director of the Special Investigation Bureau, has been in the position for nearly seven years.
These seven years were also the busiest seven years, with chaos inside and outside. Because of the disappearance of the Immortal Venerable, people in the department were also restless. If it weren't for the threat of the people left by the Immortal Venerable, they would have experienced a post-disaster chaos.
After seven years, everything returned to peace and the people dispersed. Some ghost cultivators remained in the Special Investigation Bureau, and some went to the mountains to practice. After the eight subordinates of the Immortal Venerable fulfilled his wish, they each found a sect to live in, occasionally instructed the cultivators, and occasionally gave live lectures.
It was at this time that Ren Changlin considered taking off the burden on his shoulders.
Although he also started to practice, his cultivation was still not as good as other cultivators in the bureau. First, he was worried that with his ability, he would not be able to win the support of the public sooner or later, which would easily lead to chaos in the special detective bureau. Second, now that the crisis has been resolved and the situation has stabilized, it is time to make room for young people to show their talents.
The third point is his little selfishness. He hopes to have more time to practice after retirement, prolong his life, and take a good look around this world that was almost destroyed.
When the world was peaceful, I didn't think it was precious. It was not until I almost lost it that I realized how much beauty I missed. It turns out that people only know how to cherish when they almost lose it.
Ren Changlin called Shen Que.
In his opinion, no one is more qualified than Shen Que, the disciple of the Immortal Master, to take on this position.
Whether it is his fame that spreads far and wide at home and abroad, or his ever-improving powerful cultivation, he is enough to take on this burden, become the leader, and lead all living beings to continue on.
But Shen Que refused.
Shen Que: "I'm sorry, Director Ren, I still have unfinished business."
After that, Shen Que spent more than three years traveling to every corner of the world to complete the tasks assigned to him by his master.
He found green snakes in the largest tropical jungle, black turtles on the shore of Tianchi Lake, dug out bird eggs near extremely hot volcanoes, and finally, picked up the black and white stray cat at the door of his own house.
Shen Que picked up the hungry meowing cow, and his throat choked.
The master told him that he would come back after he found all the four saints.
He finally called Ren Changlin and told him that he was willing to take over the position.
Ren Changlin was very happy and quickly reported the matter. The approval document was quickly approved and the date was selected. It happened to coincide with the time when the two bureaus merged and the new department was established. It was a double happiness.
At the succession ceremony, Shen Que delivered a speech of gratitude for taking office, which was broadcasted around the world.
[…In the past few years, the world has endured too much suffering. Our footprints are full of thorns and tears. Every struggle carries the hope of survival of the creatures in the world…]
At the end of the speech, there was thunderous applause from the audience.
Amid the applause, Shen Que took the token handed to him by Ren Changlin, which represented the director of the Case Security Investigation Department.
After waiting for everything to end, Shen Que did not go home. He took the token in his hand, a ring, and took the elevator to the underground.
Ten floors underground.
This is the former Special Investigation Bureau, now the Police Department, a secret place that will never be open to the outside world.
This secret room was created by the Eight Immortals, almost exhausting their knowledge. Unless specific conditions are met, no one can open the secret room, not even the creators.
In the past ten years, Shen Que has tried to open the door more than once, but failed without exception.
Now that he has completed his master's mission and officially took over the Police Department, he wants to try to open the door of the secret room again.
He put the ring in the groove of the door, pressed the door, and input spiritual power.
The complex array on the door slowly lit up, and after a long time, it dimmed again.
Shen Que was frustrated.
It was like this again, and he failed again this time.
He approached the door and pressed his cheek against it.
It seemed that his master had not rested enough and did not want to come out.
It didn't matter, he had plenty of time to wait. Shen Que had never been so grateful as he was now, grateful that he was a ghost and not a human, and had a long life.
After standing for a while, he took two steps back, intending to take off the ring on the groove.
As soon as his fingertips touched the ring, a slight sound was heard.
"Click."
Shen Que's hand paused, and his eyes widened suddenly.
"Boom..."
The door that had been closed for nearly ten years was actually slowly opening in front of his eyes.
It was not pitch black inside the door. There were white dots of light dancing in the air, just like the starlight rain that fell when the Immortal Lord disappeared, shrouding the secret room in a hazy glow.
The body that was supposed to be sleeping on the stone platform disappeared, and was replaced by a child.
The child was sitting on the stone platform. When he saw Shen Que at the door, he smiled and said, "Disciple, you have grown up."
Shen Que was stunned for a long time, staggered into the secret room, knelt down in front of the stone platform, and burst into tears.
His master finally came back.
