Ruins of the past

On this day, countless creatures on the earth saw the stars emitting strange yellow light under the night sky. Even the slow and stupid creatures could feel the ominous meaning contained in the light.

Under Chu Qiguang's order, the Cat Factory, the Dog Factory, the Demon Suppression Division, and even all forces began to investigate the impact of the yellow starlight.

But after months of exploration and research, all investigators found nothing.

No one knows what the yellow starlight caused. Some people even think that it is just pure starlight and has no effect.

Chu Qiguang understood, however, that the yellow starlight was anything but simple, not only because of the ominous aura he felt from it, but also because of the words he saw in the seeker's eyes.

"Symbolizing the brilliance of the twisting power of heaven."

"The master of brilliance must be influencing the way of heaven."

However, although Chu Qiguang was sure that Huangtian World had affected this place in some way, he had no way of knowing exactly what it had affected.

To this end, he also specifically asked the friends of Book of Emptiness.

Unfortunately, there was too little information, and they could not judge the results from thin air.

But everyone including the emperor, Qunxing Gourmet, Future Demon and others reminded Chu Qiguang.

Generally speaking, when this kind of large-scale twisting force of Heavenly Dao comes into play, the effect is often like modifying the rules, and may even cause certain routine changes in the entire starry sky.

And what Huangtian World does is more likely to be aimed at the human race.

Unfortunately, after Chu Qiguang sent out many people to investigate, he still could not find any clues. He could only put this matter aside for the time being and continue to think of ways to improve his strength.

However, although the group of friends did not help him find clues to the yellow starlight, they provided him with new help. The being known as the Greedy King finally came online.

Greedy King: Use dragon corpses to build equipment?

Greedy King: Huang Tian’s Dragon Clan? Well, from your description, the dragon is quite powerful and has the opportunity to make good armor.

Emperor: Tongtian, this is the top equipment master in the universe. If he guides you in building weapons and equipment, your possibility of defeating Emperor Tian will increase.

Greedy King: Don't be too happy too soon. After their planet experienced the distortion of the way of heaven, the distortion (demonization) reaction has spread, the cultivation environment has deteriorated, and the average state has significantly regressed.

Greedy King: In this case, to build equipment suitable for him, we can only consume a lot of basic resources and labor, step by step...

Greedy King: It just so happens that I recently designed a new set of armor for outer space combat, which is very suitable for your situation...

Chu Qiguang looked at what King Greedy said and found that the method of making the armor was far more complicated than he expected.

There are hundreds of basic materials and various auxiliary ingredients alone.

Because the other party considered that the technological level of this planet is limited, these materials can be found almost everywhere, such as iron ore, limestone, dragon bones, dragon blood, kerosene, saltpeter...

After a large amount of basic materials are processed in large batches and complicated processing, secondary materials are obtained, and then the processing continues to obtain third-level materials.

In the process of processing, it is also necessary to overcome technical difficulties and become familiar with the characteristics of various materials.

In this cycle, after hundreds of steps and dozens of production lines, the consumables needed to create this set of armor can be obtained.

Listening to the complicated process, Chu Qiguang felt as if an ancient emperor wanted to build an aircraft carrier. The idea itself was crazy enough, and the means by which it could be realized were even more surprising.

Greedy King: This is a big project. According to the information you gave me, I estimate that it will take hundreds of thousands of people and more than five years to build the armor I designed.

Greedy King: How is your local power? Is it that powerful? Don't forget that before Emperor Tian arrived, you built a super weapon and ended up destroying your country.

Tongtian: I still have some face here, so I can give it a try.

Greedy King: Are you sure? It's very hard, your subordinates won't complain, right?

Tongtian: My employees are not good at anything else but they can endure hardship and are not afraid of getting tired.

Tongtian: I wonder what the name of this armor is?

Greedy King: Zhu Xian...

…

Yongan 25 years, March.

In the south of Night City, new construction sites began to appear one after another, and workers were busy everywhere.

This is exactly the factory to be built in the ‘Zhu Xian Plan’ set by Chu Qiguang.

The appearance of the yellow starlight made Chu Qiguang feel more stressed. Every time he left the Buddhist world, looked up at the starry sky and looked at the faint yellow halo, Chu Qiguang felt that the Emperor's World seemed to be closer to him. One point.

In order to further enhance the strength of this planet and increase the chance of winning against the Huangtian World in the future, Chu Qiguang forced out the potential of himself and the entire Dahan, Daqian, and Dragon Clan.

The entire country seemed to have turned into a high-speed machine, with every part constantly accelerating, crazily increasing the overall combat effectiveness.

As an individual who gathers the essence of the entire country, Chu Qiguang's strength and potential are improving faster and faster because of the squeezing of the potential of all ethnic groups.

The energy, blood, and knowledge he can obtain every day are becoming more and more terrifying.

At this moment, Jinnu was following him and reported: "The Western Expedition went very smoothly. Facing our new equipment, the Da Zhu Demon Army was powerless to resist. Zhou Junyan sent news that he was sure that within three months Destroy Da Zhu..."

"After Mr. Jiao finished reading several volumes of the inheritance sent by the Buddha of Incorruptibility, he felt increasingly sleepy and applied for sleep again this month."

Chu Qiguang sighed: "Approval, her current state makes me sleepy because of her."

Although he was looking forward to what abilities Jiaojiao would be able to master after she woke up, after losing Jiaojiao now, Chu Qiguang's monitoring and communication abilities would inevitably be weakened.

But Chu Qiguang also knew that there was nothing he could do about it.

‘Let’s take advantage of this period of time to strengthen the communication system between Jinnu and Dreamland. ’

Jinnu continued: "Juno has arrived in Datai. She is working on persuading people to surrender there, but the work is not going well. Although the Emperor of Datai is not here, the local monsters are all Huangtian believers and are not willing to follow us. cooperate……"

"Tianxiatong has added 21 new outlets this month, and the coverage rate in all prefectures and counties across the country has reached 46%..."

"Mr. Lin Lan's dream has more than 100,000 people online, a record high. By the way, she invites you to dream together tonight..."

Chu Qiguang said: "Just tell me this kind of thing in a low voice, don't shout so loudly."

Jin Nu nodded thoughtfully and continued: "Lei Yushu, Mr. Lei has sent this month's monthly report. This month's performance continues to rise, the real estate transaction volume has increased rapidly, and the people are happy to welcome the increase in housing prices... "

"Currently, the average debt per person in Night City is 5,000 gas, the average repayment time per person is 23 years, and the average working hours per day is 13 hours. The development potential continues to decline..."

"Mr. Lei suggested that we open a second pilot as soon as possible, preferably in Shenjing City."

Chu Qiguang touched his chin and said, "Do you work 26 hours a day on average?"

"Is everyone happy?"

Jin Nu was stunned for a moment, her eyes flashed with fire, and she seemed to have thought for a long time before she slowly said: "The income is increasing, the strength is increasing, and the future development potential is also increasing. Are you unhappy?"

Chu Qiguang smiled and said nothing, but before he knew it, he and Jin Nu had arrived on the street of Jinrong Mansion.

He looked up at the stars twinkling with yellow light in the sky, and sighed softly after a long time.

"Tell her to prepare for the second pilot, but it will not be in the capital, but in Donghai Prefecture."

"Is there anything else?"

Jinnu said: "The news from the Tianshi Sect is that Huang Daoxu seems to be ill."

Chu Qiguang was slightly startled: "Huang Daoxu? Are you sick?"

Huang Daoxu's illness is like some kind of signal.

In the next few months, according to statistics from the Cat Factory, the Dog Factory, and the Demon Suppression Division, the death toll of the human race was increasing throughout the Central Plains.

The surge in the number of people is mainly concentrated in people over the age of 50.

A large number of elderly people die from various diseases, accidents, or simply... old age.

Suddenly, continuous funerals were going on in various places. Chu Qiguang had to change the policy of court officials to observe filial piety and Ding You. Otherwise, Ding You would have to go home for two or three years, and he would not be able to start his work.

The time when the incident really attracted large-scale public attention was when the descendant of Vajra Temple died.

As the martial god inherited from the Vajra Temple in the Buddhist world, Faxiang has been working diligently over the years since joining Chu Qiguang's side.

In the battle where Chu Qiguang survived the catastrophe of Zhengfa, he was seriously injured. Later, Chu Qiguang arranged to manage the engineering team and was far away from the front line of the battle.

Although the Dharma Prime Minister was already quite old, no one expected that the God of War would pass away so suddenly.

The cause of Faxiang's death was organ failure. According to the results of examinations by Li Yaofeng and Qiao Zhi, he died of old age...

Chu Qiguang took his companions to attend the funeral of this senior, but the shadow of Faxiang's death enveloped everyone, and uneasiness began to spread in people's hearts.

…

On the Book of Emptiness.

Lines of text are constantly jumping out.

Gourmet of the Stars: It’s the lifespan. The Huangtian World has changed the lifespan of your planet, or the human race in this starry sky.

Star Gourmet: From what you said, it seems that it is only the human race, not the demon race.

Gourmet of the Stars: Even if your realm improves and your body evolves, your lifespan will only increase and cannot be infinite. If the lifespan of a race is reduced by the twisting power of heaven, everyone, regardless of masters or mortals, will be affected.

Emperor: The world of Huangtian will take decades or hundreds of years to reach your world.

Emperor: They shortened your lifespan like this, I'm afraid they hope that all your masters will die before it comes.

Emperor: Moreover, the reduction of life span is not a simple problem. The impact will be far-reaching and even destroy the development of the entire civilization.

Tianshui Zhenhun: Things like reducing the lifespan of a race... are not like Huang Tian's approach. He would not destroy his own crops like this.

Kuang Yeqiong: Hey hey hey, let me tell you a piece of gossip. Huang Tian is still in seclusion. This should be done by the people below him who borrowed his authority.

Chu Qiguang looked at the jumping words on the Book of Emptiness and asked: Is there any way?

The emperor said: Of course there are ways, they are nothing more than hibernation, reincarnation, increasing life span, passing on skills...
