"You came back just in time." The familiar figure who had been with me day and night in the past year was deftly playing with the tea set, "I have always wanted to do something for you, but... let's try this."

The beautiful girl holds a cup of tea - in the exquisite white porcelain tea cup, several straight and beautiful tea buds stand upright, as if they are dancing with the gentle swaying of the water waves. A wisp of tender millet-like fragrance comes,

The faint fatigue on Lou Wuchen's body suddenly cleared up.

Lou Wuchen took the tea cup, but looked at the discarded tea that had been piled up countless times in the bamboo basket next to him: "You...have been waiting for me for a long time?"

"Soon." The girl replied, "I'm very used to waiting."

————————————

"Good tea." Lou Wuchen gently put down the tea cup, "Although I don't know much about tea... but it reminds me of the bamboo leaves in my hometown."

"As long as you are satisfied."

Silence fell in the room. Time swayed slightly in the small space like fluttering tea leaves. After an unknown period of time, the tea leaves suddenly sank to the bottom of the cup as if they were awakened from a dream, and a clear and gentle voice suddenly sounded at the same time.

stand up.

"I think... we need to talk."

"I think... we need to talk."

—————————————

"What... do you want?" In the quiet training room, the two of them sat cross-legged opposite each other. The girl's clear voice sounded in Lou Wuchen's sea of ​​consciousness, "——Don't worry, this is the magical power of our Shinto. You can directly express your thoughts

Just pass it on and it won't be discovered."

"——Cough." After Lou Wuchen experimented for a while, he paused briefly and conveyed his thoughts to the girl, "The question is not what I want, but what do you want? My idea is very simple.

I think the days of cultivating immortals like this are very interesting and comfortable, and I hope it’s just like this, but what about you? That’s not the case, right?”

"..."

The girl's thoughts were silent.

The young man's business-like tone, incapable of detecting emotion, reminded the girl of her father's cold face - she must have caused him a lot of trouble, putting him in danger time and time again, consuming his immortality day after day.

Resources were taken care of by him day after day, and even his own existence was a big trouble for him... But even so, he never abandoned himself.

The girl thought of the warmth on his back, the melodious leaf flute he played, the touching stories he told, and the sound of him gently feeding her spiritual fluid.

...Be good, take your medicine...

After a long while, the girl's thoughts resounded in Lou Wuchen's sea of ​​consciousness: "I hope you will inherit the divine way, restore the heaven, crusade...annihilate the immortal way."

"Impossible!" Lou Wuchen's voice suddenly turned cold, without any trace of emotion.

A little hesitant, "Have you seen the current situation? Immortalism has completely ruled the world. You want the two of us to declare war on the entire world? And personally, what I hate most in my life are those crazy monotheistic religions.

Believer, let me seek death for such a disgusting thing?"

The girl stared at the boy in front of her with a complicated expression.

He is the successor of Shinto predicted by Ziwei Tianzun, but he seems to have a natural hatred for Shinto. Is Ziwei Tianzun wrong? Or... am I wrong?

He treats me, after all——

"...However, before rejecting, I want to hear what you have to say first." I don't know if I saw the sad look on the girl's eyebrows, but I couldn't feel much fluctuation in Lou Wuchen's words, "What's the reason? Why should we revive?"

Shinto, destroy the immortal way?"

The girl opposite took a deep breath, and then held her breath as if she wanted to rub all the emotions back into her nose and eyes. After a while, she slowly let go of her shoulders: "You... have practiced "Immortal Way"

"Basic Cultivation", right?"

"So what?" Lou Wuchen had a noncommittal expression.

"That's the earliest way to practice immortality. What do you think... about immortality?"

"Huh, it's nothing more than exploitation." Lou Wuchen showed a somewhat mocking look, and touched the jade ball in the quiet room with one hand. When the magic formula was launched, a trace of spiritual energy suddenly flowed over, "Through the method of cultivation,

The monopoly and modifications allow everyone to work for the above while practicing. In fact, what they absorb is only a small part of the spiritual energy that they themselves have attracted, and the rest is gathered to the sect - just like this, and let them

Everyone thinks this is a quota given by the sect, a good means, it really is a good means!"

The shocked girl recalled Ziwei Tianzun's words in her mind and couldn't help but murmured: "...You are indeed destined to be the successor of my divine way..."

"But what does this have to do with me?" Lou Wuchen ignored the girl's message, "Where can there be no such thing as exploitation? Squeeze and embezzlement, unfair distribution, this kind of thing is simply commonplace. Although it is unfair, as long as it is

It is absolutely impossible for the bottom class to survive and even feel even the slightest improvement - at least it is impossible for many people to challenge this system with their lives!"

"But they will not survive!" The girl seemed to be aroused by Lou Wuchen's words. "The Immortal Sect is a thief in the world. They not only steal all living beings, but also steal the disciples' cultivation achievements."

The very act of borrowing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to practice for one's own sake is stealing the origin of the world! If the Immortal Sect is allowed to continue like this, the whole world will fall into spiritual silence and be completely destroyed!"

"Alarmist!" Lou Wuchen smiled coldly, "You religious people like to come up with a set of eschatology to scare people. Reiki is the flow of spiritual beings, but it is not a real substance. It flows back and forth, and it is still those spiritual beings.

How can the soul be exhausted?"

Facing the building

Wuchen's words were thorny, but the girl was tit for tat and said, "But the pressure of the spirit energy will increase! In fact, from ten thousand years ago to the present, the pressure of the spirit energy has at least tripled. In terms of immortality, foundation building

The difficulty is several times higher than before!”

At this moment, Lou Wuchen suddenly remembered the suffocating feeling under the high spiritual pressure when the flying boat encountered turbulent spiritual energy. His heart was shocked, but his face showed no expression, "So what? Spiritual energy?"

Carrying disciples is a relative process in itself. As the saying goes, a rising tide lifts all boats. If the general environment changes, just cultivate to a higher place! What does this mean?"

"Not only is the spiritual pressure of the environment increasing! The Heavenly Masters also deduced that practicing immortality will cause the activity of spiritual energy to decline, and eventually lose its activity completely! That is the final end of spiritual silence!" The girl has obviously not done anything about the changes in the immortal world over the past ten thousand years.

Less homework, "Southern Wilderness is the best example! If the immortal path continues, that will be the end of the whole world!"

Suddenly a flash of lightning flashed across Lou Wuchen's mind——

It is impossible to transfer heat from a low-temperature object to a high-temperature object without producing other effects, or it is impossible to take heat from a single heat source and completely convert it into useful work without producing other effects... The total micro-increase in entropy in an irreversible thermodynamic process

is greater than zero...

Lou Wuchen was in a daze for a while, but he quickly regained his composure, "...the reasons for the decline of Southern Wasteland are very complicated and multifaceted, and cannot be summarized simply! What's more, even if there is true spiritual silence, it only takes thousands of people.

Tens of thousands of years later, how could a mortal be willing to sacrifice his life to worry about something so long ago?"

"You——!" The girl was deeply shocked and shocked by these words. She could not believe that these were the words spoken by Ziwei Tianzun and his chosen successor of Shinto. Her pretty face suddenly turned pale, "How could you, how could you

How can you be so selfish!"

"...Yes, I am selfish, greedy for life and afraid of death. Once I am a slave, I will not have the pursuit of turning over, so what?" Lou Wuchen seemed to be aroused, "Isn't this kind of life bad?

?Isn’t it okay to live a peaceful and comfortable life as an immortal? Besides, you keep talking about the immortal way, but haven’t you already established the foundation of the immortal way yourself?!"

As soon as the words came out, Lou Wuchen immediately felt regretful, but could not take them back.

The girl's bloodless face showed a look of grief, and the sadness that seemed to crush her eyebrows made Lou Wuchen's heart tighten and feel a faint pain. There was an inexplicable feeling in his heart.

The urge to hug the girl in front of him tightly was suppressed by him.

"...Besides." Lou Wuchen hesitated for a long time and then changed his tone, "The Immortal Way has the powerful power to move mountains and reclaim seas. How can you - how can we fight against it?"
