Chapter 604: Verification
It was the summer of the third year of prosperity.
In Lin’an city, all kinds of businesses were flourishing.
There were Baozhi halls all over the city, which made life convenient.
In fact, the people of Lin’an only knew about Baozhi halls and did not know about the government.
The manager of Baozhi Hall, Xu Xuan, was thus praised as a ‘living saint’.
Li An’an and Chu Weiwei stood on top of a restaurant in Lin’an and looked down.
They used their divine senses to inspect Lin’an’s interior and exterior.
Li Anan was elated. “Ping’an really excellent!”
“As expected of someone who has both the excellent genes of my family and the Ling Family!”
Chu Weiwei lowered her head and asked leisurely, “Captain, do you think… Young Master Ling is also in this world?”
“How is that possible?” Li An’an chuckled when she heard that. “No matter how talented Ping’an is, it’s impossible for him to catch up to us in a few months!”
“He… is at most a warrant officer now!”
In two to three months, he transformed from a mortal into the transcendent being and even became a warrant officer.
This was already very impressive.
Even in the realm of nightmare, he was still a super outstanding potential stock!
Chu Weiwei nodded lightly and said, “That’s true!”
But in her heart, she was very clear that the captain was protected too well.
Even in such a dangerous place like the realm of nightmare, this koi fairy was just like a tourist.
Whenever she went to that world, there would be aborigine experts who would inexplicably help her.
All the missions were thrilling without danger, and everything was smooth sailing.
Although the profits were not high, she was always safe and sound.
Even if she came to such a different space-time.
The captain was still the luckiest one.
Undoubtedly, it was a big taboo to disturb the space-time.
It might attract the local gods and Buddhas to ask or even suppress her.
However, when she came to the captain, the local gods and Buddhas came to her door respectfully and sought cooperation.
Who was he trying to reason with?
“Let’s make some preparations…” Li An’an finally remembered what she had to do. “Let’s go to the mouth of Guan River near Qingcheng Mountain.”
“Okay!” Chu Weiwei responded.
The two women turned into a puff of green smoke and flew toward Shu Prefecture on a cloud.
In this world.
They were the thousand-year-old white snake and the green snake.
Naturally, they had strong supernatural powers. Therefore, the cloud they lifted was extremely fast and passed through the sky above Lin’an in the blink of an eye.
…
In Baozhi hall, Xu Xuan, who was correcting official documents, seemed to have sensed something?
He raised his head and looked at the top of his head.
Then, the expression in his eyes changed.
Before long, a pair of spectacles appeared in his eyes.
The clothes on his body were slowly replaced with a modern down jacket.
Gently, he reached out and touched his eyes. “This aunt of mine is quite alert!”
“It just so happens that the flow of time in this space-time is somewhat special!”
“I can use this place to organize my thoughts!”
After gaining the enlightenment of the supreme, he had been digesting it.
And in this world, the relatively special flow of time allowed him to take advantage of it.
Therefore, he often descended to this world.
Firstly, he thought it was fun to change history.
Secondly, he wanted to master the way of the supreme and referred to his own path.
The way of the supreme was peaceful and did nothing. It coexisted with all the worlds.
Therefore, he didn’t fight for anything with the universe!
With the help of his comprehension of the way of the supreme, Ling Ping’an gradually had some clues about his own path.
Because this space-time was his experimental field, he created a path that suited him.
He didn’t want to be a monster!
And as a monster, he definitely didn’t want to go back to his old path!
Just like the Supreme, he didn’t want to go back to his old path.
Just like the creator who traveled to the west, he didn’t want to go back to his old path.
Because the old path was a dead end.
He had already reached the end.
There was no path ahead, and Ling Ping’an recalled what he saw and heard when he met the supreme.
That terrifying deformed monster.
The ultimate monster that fed on the life and death of the universe.
But it only had instincts and the wisdom of quantum states.
At the same time, he also remembered the stickers and stories that his parents had left behind.
From the Ying Emperor of Zhuangzi to the fourteenth chapter of the Tao-te Ching, as well as the doggerel pasted on the ball, all the signs indicated that his birth had been planned for a long time.
Moreover, it was a direct order from the ‘monster’.
Just like the truth that he ‘knew’ and ‘discovered’ in the past.
Apart from the ‘monster’ who was willing, no one could open its seven orifices.
Apart from the ‘monster’, there was nothing that could command its servants.
This made Ling Pin’gan afraid.
He was afraid that everything in his current life trajectory was something that had long been predestined.
He was just struggling with the thought of living in a scenario that was predetermined by a monster.
This space-time was very important to him because there were no monsters here.
Also, the monsters did not know about this place.
Thinking of this, he gently shook a bell on the table.
“Ring… Ring… Ring…”
The door was pushed open by someone.
“Master Ming!” A few men in cloth clothes who were already waiting for orders at the door entered one after another.
When they saw Xu Xuan’s appearance, they weren’t surprised at all. On the contrary, they knelt down in joy. “My Lord!”
“Welcome, my Lord!”
These people were the elites Ling Ping’an had carefully selected and subdued when he arrived in this world.
They were all the magnates of the merchants, master craftsmen, medical experts, and scholars in Lin’an city.
Ling Ping’an had only casually revealed a few magical techniques to them.
For example, he created things from the Void, brought the dead back to life, and brought the dead back to life.
He made them prostrate on the ground and pledge their loyalty to him.
After all, to mortals, life and death were the most terrifying.
Ling Ping’an couldn’t watch over this place from time to time, so he needed the help of these people.
They helped him deal with the trivial matters.
They also helped him verify the path he was going to take.
“How’s the situation recently?” asked Ling Ping’an.
“Reporting to my Lord!” A man in his forties stepped out and said, “In the past few months, both the political affairs hall and the palace have submitted one after another!”
This person was a scholar from the Zhao Song dynasty named Wang Xuan.
Ling Ping’an chose him as he was one of the few people who strongly opposed the peace talks after the failure of the long Xing Northern Expedition.
More importantly, this person did not oppose it verbally.
He had a theory to support this individual.
Although his theory was still very scholarly, it was at least reliable.
Another reason was that he and Xin Qiji were friends.
“This is as I expected!” laughed Ling Ping’an. “That Zhao family has been like this since ancient times!”
“They only bullied other people’s orphans and widowed mothers. They were lucky to obtain the world. What kind of backbone do they have?”
“If he had a backbone, he wouldn’t have been so scared by the golden soldiers that he became a eunuch!”
Everyone laughed when they heard that.
The current Zhao family was extremely notorious in the entire Lin’an and even the entire song court.
Even the people of Jin Kingdom were laughing at them.
Thanks to Ling Ping’an, millions of copies of the “Zhao Song Jokes Collection” had been printed in just a few months.
Fusang, Xinluo, Jiaozhi, Dali, and even the illiterate men on the grassland might have one.
After laughing, Ling Ping’an looked at the others and asked, “How’s the progress of the work you are responsible for?”
Just then, an old craftsman in his seventies stepped out and said, “My lord, ever since I received the few ‘encyclopedias’ that you taught me, I have led Lin ‘an to do all kinds of research and study day and night. Now that I have mastered the crucible steelmaking technique and am building a blast furnace, I think I will be able to gain something soon!”
“Very good!” Ling Ping’an nodded. “What about the others?”
Therefore, all the parties reported their work results one after another.
It was nothing more than a farming routine that went through history: climbing technology.
But climbing technology was not just about climbing technology.
After listening to everyone’s report, Ling Ping’an waved his hand and said, “You must remember…”
He reached out his hand. “Fifty years! You only have fifty years!”
“Fifty years later, if you cannot meet my goals and requirements, you will face a natural disaster. I will destroy all living things and even the world!”
As he spoke, an illusory light membrane appeared behind his head.
Inside the light membrane, there were countless deformed insect monsters. They were densely packed and ferociously covered the mountains and plains.
Even the sky was occupied by countless flying giant insects.
The insect race that he created.
Was already unable to endure the hunger and thirst!
And this was the path that Ling Ping’an had initially chosen for himself.
He… was a monster!
This was an undeniable fact.
But he wasn’t just a monster. He was also a person who wanted to preserve his humanity.
He knew very well that the monster him was a chaotic, evil, crazy, and deformed thing.
That kind of thing could not be defeated and overcome by relying on the so-called humanity.
Strength was needed, as well as something to buffer and balance him.
Otherwise, when that monster woke up…
Ling Ping’an knew that his humanity could not even last a second.
And the path that the monster slaves had chosen for him.
The monsters could go very fast.
Within a short period of time, a new monster would be created.
It was too much. This new monster would have more intelligence and more so-called humanity.
This was what Ling Ping’an could not accept.
After meeting with the supreme, he understood that the monster created him to explore a new path.
It was different from that muddleheaded monster who only knew destruction.
And now… he was experimenting…
Experimenting on a new path.
Positioning himself as the whip of the worlds.
A sharp blade that hung high above the worlds.
If he advanced, he would survive; if he didn’t advance, he would die!
The supreme being didn’t do anything and wasn’t affected by karma.
But that was the supreme being’s path.
As a monster, he couldn’t walk it.
The Supreme Being’s path made him realize something.
Although he couldn’t change the fact that he was a monster, he could still make use of this.
Ling Ping’an felt that this was his best choice, which might also be the only path he could choose.
The other paths were all dead ends.
They couldn’t make it!
The people in front of them listened to their master’s declaration and looked at the countless deformed bug monsters.
They all shivered and bowed their heads, “Yes!”
“Very good!” Ling Ping’an withdrew the projection from Azeroth.
Then, he looked at the people in front of him.
He knew what would happen if he hit them with a stick and gave them another piece of candy.
Therefore, he smiled and said, “Of course, if you can complete the goal and mission I set for you in fifty years, then there will be great rewards!”
With a wave of his hand, countless immortal pills and miraculous medicines appeared in front of these people.
If they could verify this path for him, even if it was just a prototype, they could have as much elixir as they wanted!
