The vast grassland still seems to have no end in sight.
Wu Tianci and Liu Jin have been walking for several months since they came out of the eighteenth floor and set foot on this unknown land.
Their clothes were worn out and their faces showed more and more fatigue.
Wu Tianci's mood changed from initial excitement to current despair... He stopped and turned to look back at the road he came from.
There is no road at all.
Behind them was the same green grassland, without even a trace of their passing.
Sitting down on the grass, he looked up at the sun in the sky, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said weakly to Liu Jin: "I'm hungry... I'm afraid we can't get out anymore... We will die here... and become nutrients for these flowers and plants."
"emperor,"
"I'm not some emperor."
"I'm not destined for that, Liu Jin. I regret this."
What could Liu Jin say?
He regrets it too!
Rather than being in such a miserable state now, it would be better to be locked up in the harem of the Chang'an Palace.
Although there were no palace maids in that place, there was no need to worry about food and drink.
You can even climb up the old banyan tree in the palace to look at the beautiful night view of Chang'an City with its blooming flowers.
He missed his previous master, Fu Xiaoguan, very much.
Fu Xiaoguan once told him that eunuchs could also be promoted to higher positions and become the backbone of the country. This was his ideal, and he had worked hard for this ideal.
He remembered his first time going out to sea, and also remembered how kind Fu Xiaoguan was to him when he returned.
When the retired emperor was leaving Chang'an, he gave him some earnest teachings, asking him to serve the new emperor well and to advise him decisively if the new emperor did anything inappropriate. However... however, he eventually succumbed to the imperial power and watched the new emperor do those inappropriate things step by step. Not only did he not dissuade him, but he became an accomplice.
Who can be blamed for this?
Liu Jin looked up at the sky and sighed in his heart. Perhaps this is what the emperor once said, there is a god above your head, and all this is retribution!
"Your Majesty, this place... I have carefully observed it along the way. This place is very strange. There is the cycle of the sun and the moon, but no seasons."
"We must have been walking for about four months now, and the grass is still green, the flowers are still new. It's as if we've been going around in circles."
"Fortunately, there's plenty of food on the grassland, such as mushrooms and rabbits, and no large, ferocious animals have been spotted."
"I was thinking... if I could live here permanently, I could survive."
Wu Tianci sighed deeply, his eyes sweeping across the desolate surroundings. He didn't respond to Liu Jin's words, but said, "I'm hungry. Let's get something to eat first."
"I obey your command!"
Liu Jin had just stood up and was about to pick some mushrooms when his body suddenly froze. After a moment, a look of joy appeared on his face.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, look, there is a little girl!"
Wu Tianci turned his head and saw a little girl in a red dress not far away.
The little girl bent down and picked a mushroom from the grass and put it in the basket she was holding. She looked at Wu Tianci and the other man without any change in her expression.
She was skipping on the grassland, picking mushrooms and singing songs -
"The little girl picking mushrooms,
Carrying a large bamboo basket,
Bare feet in the morning,
Walking through the woods and hills
..."
The singing was not pleasant, and even sounded a little weird, but to Wu Tianci, who had not seen anyone for several months, it was already a heavenly sound!
He stood up from the grass, grabbed Liu Jin, and twisted Liu Jin's arm hard.
Liu Jin screamed in pain and let out an "Ouch!", and the smile on Wu Tianci's face blossomed like a flower.
He was sure he was not dreaming.
There is someone here!
Where there is a little girl, there must be adults, and that means there are houses, villages, and even towns!
He thought of the ancient books he had read before, and he believed that everyone here was different from ordinary people in the outside world!
They must possess powerful abilities. If they could follow me out...
It seems possible to seize the power of Daxia.
“Hey hey hey…!”
Wu Tianci danced and waved to the little girl. The singing stopped, and the little girl stood up with a bright smile on her face.
…
…
Yingtian City.
As the sky gradually brightened, Fu Xiaoguan woke up from a deep sleep. As soon as he woke up, he noticed something strange. His martial arts were blocked.
He thought of last night and was suddenly startled. He sat up from the bed and saw Xu Yunqing sitting at the table reading a book.
"mother……!"
"You're awake. I pressed your acupuncture points so you can have a good rest."
"Where's Dad?"
"He took Su Jue and the others away to look for the temple."
Fu Xiaoguan took a deep breath, got up, and sat across from Xu Yunqing. His face was extremely serious, and his tone was also extremely earnest: "Mom, Dad doesn't know the situation in the temple. It's very dangerous there. If he goes there... I'm afraid he will be in great danger!"
Xu Yunqing closed the book, with a hint of fatigue on his face, but his eyes were extremely kind.
"Son, although Fatty doesn't know what's going on inside the temple, I do know a little bit."
Fu Xiaoguan was startled. Xu Yunqing continued, "There's a little girl picking mushrooms inside. She looks harmless, but I think... she must be the artificial intelligence Second Dream you mentioned!"
Fu Xiaoguan was surprised, "Have you seen it?"
"Well, Mom has also been outside the eighteenth floor, but she only took one step."
"But Dad doesn't know how to get to the temple. I made an appointment with Maria II. Someone from Frankie's church has been there."
"No," Xu Yunqing waved his hand. "Now it seems that there are at least three ways to get to the temple!"
"The first is to go from the eighteenth floor of the Tianji Pavilion. The second is what you said, going from Franky via the sea route. The third way is to go by land from Yingtian Continent!"
"Bai Yulian's wife Suo Geqin knows this road. Fatty and his companions are heading to the temple from this road."
Fu Xiaoguan frowned. This meant that the temple had many channels connecting with the outside world. This was normal. After all, when those people arrived on this planet, they used the temple as a base to travel to various places in the world.
After creating the initial civilization of this world, they died in a foreign land, leaving behind only an artificial intelligence with no lifespan limit.
The passages that were once left behind disappeared in the long river of history because no one visited them for a long time, and have only been gradually discovered by later generations.
But Fu Xiaoguan knew very well that the danger of that place far exceeded Xu Yunqing's imagination. It was not because of how powerful the Second Dream's military force was, but because of the nuclear radiation in that place!
This is something that a fat man of the Saint level can absolutely not defend against.
"I gave the cicada clothes to Fatty, you can rest assured."
"Mom, even with Chan Yi, he will still die!"
Xu Yunqing was startled and pondered for a moment, "Then you can't go!"
"If he really dies, Mother will bring his body back to Linjiang and bury him in the same tomb where Mother used to be."
After a pause, Xu Yunqing continued, "When mother dies, you will bury her with him."
"That place is beautiful, with a view of the river."
"He carved the tombstone himself, so don't change it. Mom really hopes it stays that way."
"So you can't die. If you die... who will bury me?"
