Chapter 226 The Quiet Crowd



The entire main city appears gray, as if the apocalyptic wasteland has returned.

Looking at the lifeless and expressionless people on the street, Lu Xingchen frowned slightly.

Because this was completely different from what he had imagined!

The main city that Lu Xingchen imagined should be full of high-tech buildings, with all kinds of bizarre scenes that make it difficult to open your eyes.

But what I didn’t expect was that the main city was so lifeless, like a dead city!

"No, buddy, you have the nerve to call yourself the main city? What are you busy with?"

Lu Xingchen was a little skeptical, so he immediately picked a lucky audience member, decomposed himself into a Planck scale and attached himself to him.

I saw this man walking slowly with his head down, and soon he entered a dim workstation.

There was a strangely shaped mechanical device on the workstation. The man opened the device with a dull look in his eyes and kept moving one of the switches up and down.

As the switch is pulled, the screen on one side shows different current distribution to different areas.

In this way, Lu Xingchen watched him work mechanically for a whole day.

Finally, a bell rang, and it seemed like it was time to get off work.

The man left his workstation with an expressionless face and returned to his own territory like a zombie.

This is a small box like a coffin.

After entering, the man closed his eyes, as if he was connected to something in the small box.

Lu Xingchen was very curious, so he invaded his consciousness.

After loading, Lu Xingchen discovered that this was actually the universe where this person lived!

And this person in the universe finally put away his lifeless expression and rarely showed a smile.

Received today's "salary" in a special device.

This person distributed the materials he obtained according to needs and began to build his own universe like a creator.

After a tangled and even distribution, it was very late before this man fell asleep - a deep sleep.

After a while, the specific absolute time of this universe arrived. The man woke up leisurely, looked at his own universe reluctantly, and then transmitted his consciousness out, and slowly woke up from the "coffin box".

This scene made Lu Xingchen feel suffocated and he felt like he couldn't breathe.

"Oh my god, even if the king comes, he has to go to work!"

"Every one of them looks like the so-called master of the universe, but how come their daily lives are worse than those of the factory workers on Blue Planet?"

"After work, at least Blue Star can still play games, smoke, drink, eat fatty meat, and look at girls...but why do these people feel so miserable?"

Lu Xingchen followed several people in succession, wanting to see how they lived.

The result was not surprising. Even though they had different jobs, these people remained essentially the same.

They all go to get off work on time every day, and their wages are fixed amounts of energy and basic necessities...

Their only pleasure is to transform their own universe after get off work, but that's all...

For some reason, the more Lu Xingchen looked at it, the more sad he felt.

"After all, they are all masters of the universe! Why are their lives so miserable?"

Lu Xingchen couldn't help but say this, but the next second someone responded to him!

"Why are you sad? How can you understand the joy of a fish if you are not a fish?"

"Huh? Who?"

Lu Xingchen suddenly became alert and looked around but didn't see anyone.

"Who else could it be? Of course it's me!"

At this time, a soul body floated out slowly and appeared in front of Lu Xingchen.

The immortal cultivator Lu Xingchen touched his gray beard and looked at Lu Xingchen with ill intentions.

“Many things are often like this: you want absolute freedom, but that’s actually the least free thing you can do.”

"You hate institutionalized life, but the most stable life is institutionalized."

“............”

The immortal cultivator Lu Xingchen began to talk endlessly about the great principles of life. This scene made Lu Xingchen's fists harden gradually - his fists hardened!

Immortal cultivator Lu Xingchen noticed this phenomenon and quickly stopped it, saying with an embarrassed look that this was all based on his own experience.

"Haha, speaking from experience, doesn't it mean that everything must be institutionalized?"

"Each of them is a regional overlord, so how come they turned against the Tian Gang and became the institutionalization of a higher level existence?"

Lu Xingchen was very angry. He didn't understand why these people had become like this.

Seeing Lu Xingchen secretly angry, Xiuxian Lu Xingchen had to start explaining carefully.

"Alas, there is no way..."

"Even if you become an immortal or a god, you will still become a part of the heavenly court..."

"And freedom is always relative. Freedom without rules isn't really freedom..."

Lu Xingchen was not interested in these noisy words, but as he listened, he did have new ideas in his mind.

He thought of his school days.

"At that time, I longed for freedom the most. I didn't want to study or go to school. I just wanted to play games."

"But I don't feel free when I skip classes, and I don't feel free when I play games."

"Only when I skipped classes to play games and walked home that day did I feel truly free..."

After Lu Xingchen finished speaking, it was now the turn of the immortal cultivator Lu Xingchen to break the defense.

As someone who has lived for who knows how long, he naturally understands this simplest, truest and most plain truth.

However, after roaming the world of immortal cultivation for billions of years, he still felt a strong sense of lack of freedom.

Is this feeling the loneliness that comes from being invincible? Or is it the loneliness at the top?

He himself didn't know either. He only knew that Lu Xingchen in front of him had the power to break everything.

That's why he always follows Lu Xingchen, hoping that one day he can unlock the ultimate secret and find true freedom.

"Alright! Stop saying anything! I'll make the final decision on what's right and wrong!"

Lu Xingchen was a little angry at this time. What he wanted to do most was to see what kind of person this so-called city lord was.

Upon seeing this, the immortal cultivator Lu Xingchen quickly returned to the encapsulated space and stopped talking.

After Lu Xingchen thought for a moment, he suddenly had an idea!

He came to the very depressing intersection again and started to act mischievously.

"For freedom!"

Lu Xingchen shouted loudly, wanting to see the reactions of the people around him.

In the end, no one noticed Lu Xingchen. Everyone was still busy, and no one even stopped to take a look.

"Oh, this is a bit strange, can't they see me?"

Lu Xingchen began to scan the crowd and finally found someone who looked smart.

Although they all look almost the same, there are still some differences.

For example, this person gives people a smart feeling for some reason.
