The next few days were still boring and dry.
Business in the bookstore was bleak as usual. There had been no customers for almost a week.
Every day when he opened the door, he was losing money on utilities and meals.
Fortunately, Ling Ping'an was open-minded.
To him, it didn't matter if the bookstore made a profit or a loss, it was a way of life.
Therefore, he felt no pressure.
He even felt that this kind of life was not bad.
Every day, he would write his story, read the news, and eat and drink.
Unfortunately …
This kind of life was destined not to last long.
That afternoon, Ling Ping'an sat at the counter and was about to take a rest.
His phone rang.
He picked it up and saw that it was 404100. It was a text message from the Federal Empire's Committee for Meritorious Children.
More accurately, it was an invitation.
"Young Master Ling, I respectfully read: In the first month of winter, the sky rises and the earth falls. Therefore, since ancient times, the Son of Heaven has drunk and steamed to reward the descendants of meritorious officials and to comfort the orphans and widows … Young Master, the country's responsible minister, the pillar of the country … I sincerely request that in the first month of winter, on the day of Gui Mao, you condescend to the imperial capital to meet the heroes of the world.
To the right: Before the Son of Heaven, the Eagle and Hound Committee for Meritorious Children! "
Ling Ping'an looked at it and stuck out his tongue, "In the end, I can't avoid it!"
The electronic invitations had arrived, and the paper invitations wouldn't be far away.
"Gui Mao?" He checked the calendar. It was the 14th of the next month.
It was already the 20th.
In other words, there were still 24 days?
He scratched his head, feeling a headache.
He really didn't want to go, but he was afraid that he would be blacklisted if he didn't go.
In the end, he was the one who ate the food of others?
She was softhearted.
He didn't want to get into trouble. Everyone knew that it was an organization under the royal family.
Face was the most important thing.
They wouldn't give face to anyone who didn't give them face!
"Aiyaya..." Ling Ping'an said, "If only I knew how to clone myself..."
"Going to the banquet alone?
As a tool … "
"One is writing at home …"
"There's another one playing games upstairs …"
Unfortunately …
He shook his head.
He didn't know how.
He raised his head and looked at the computer screen.
On the screen?
His new book had been on the Weibo for three days.
What about the results?
It was alright!
Before being promoted, it was 321 collections?
Now, there were almost 700 of them.
Among the same kind?
He could barely be considered average.
If this went on, how could he earn a few thousand yuan in royalties?
It was still possible.
He leaned back in his chair.
He held the mouse and looked at the number of saved manuscripts.
"80,000 words!" He nodded. "It's enough for me to have fun for a while!"
It had been a long time since he had fought to his heart's content in the canyon.
A few times?
All he did was accompany Hu Nuonuo to play a few games in the middle of the night.
Personally, he preferred to play solo.
Esports, after all.
You're awesome if you win against me?
If you lose, blame your teammates.
If it was a Duos or even multiple Duos with people he knew, it would be fine if he won.
If he lost, how could he shift the blame?
He picked up his phone and charged into the canyon.
This was also the most common way for him to deal with problems — pretend that it didn't exist and think about it when the time came.
In short …
Everything will work out when the time comes!
… …
Griffin V Casting World.
Melted ice water?
An ocean had already formed on the surface of the earth.
Specially made aircrafts?
Hovering above the ocean, it sprayed salt.
Thousands of years ago, the sages of the Mechanical Sect evaporated the oceans of this planet.
But now, they had brought the ocean back.
Moreover, they were accelerating the formation of the ocean.
It was just that marine life was a little difficult to find!
The closest ecological planet to the Griffin V Casting World was several light years away.
If it was a conventional voyage, it would take decades to make a round trip.
As for subspace travel?
It was not impossible!
The key was the problem of navigation.
Ever since they lost contact with the empire of the fake emperor, the Griffin V World had not traveled in subspace for a long time.
The main problem was navigation.
Without a pilot, entering the subspace rashly was equivalent to sending food to the Diablos of the subspace.
However …
"It's okay!" The devout Papal Army pilot looked at the rippling ocean below him. "We will soon have a complete ecosystem!"
"At that time, the almighty soul of machines will definitely bless us!"
"I can't wait to see that moment!"
He raised his head and looked above the cockpit. Above the atmosphere that was gradually taking shape, the starport that hung high in the planet's orbit.
There, a brand-new battleship was being assembled.
That was the miracle of the Mechanical Sect!
It was also the miracle of the soul of machines!
In less than twenty days, a super interstellar battleship had completed a miracle from construction to assembly!
Just looking at the magnificent miracle of steel.
The pilot felt devout and worship from the bottom of his heart.
"Flesh and blood are weak, steel is eternal... Amen!" After praying, his sprayer had already crossed the ocean and arrived at a landing field on the ground.
Countless mechas were parked on the airfield that was made of steel.
However, the most eye-catching thing was the figures that were lining up and walking through the airport.
They looked like ordinary believers of the Mechanical Sect.
They were wearing gray cloaks and walking barefoot in the airport.
However, everyone knew that these people were the warriors blessed by the soul of machines, the first batch of terminators to complete the transformation!
They were the true believers who abandoned this weak flesh and blood and embraced steel and machinery.
Only the most devout believers, people who had unreserved faith in the greatness of the soul of machines, had the chance to be transformed!
Looking at these darlings of the soul of machines.
Warriors who combined machinery and steel.
The pilot lowered his head slightly. "I must continue to work hard... and strive to qualify in the next selection..."
"For the soul of machines..."
Almunia stood in front of the window made of steel and watched the modified terminator warriors walk through the road in front of him.
The first batch of terminators had paid a huge price for the transformation.
Out of a hundred volunteers, only thirty succeeded.
Of the remaining seventy, more than fifty people failed directly and turned into waste mixed with liquid metal.
There were also more than ten people in an extremely strange state.
To say that they succeeded?
But they did not actually fuse with liquid metal.
To say that they failed?
It did not seem to be possible because they were still alive.
Although they had been unconscious.
But their breathing, heartbeat, and brain waves were always there.
Thinking of this, Almunia could only pray for these people in his heart, "May the great soul of machines bless us!"
Thinking of this, he pressed a button.
The metal cockpit that he was standing on ignited.
Under the effect of the fusion thruster, the cockpit quickly broke away from gravity and rose to the orbital altitude at an extremely fast speed.
In just a few seconds, he appeared in the orbit above the foundry world.
The spaceport then extended two robotic arms to his cockpit and slowly pulled it over.
A few minutes later, Almunia stood on the command and control tower of the spaceport.
He looked down at the great battleship that was being installed in the spaceport.
He felt extremely excited.
"The great Ohm Messiah... What kind of great battleship did he give us?"
This battleship that was about to be launched and would be named 'Multi-steam Riveter'.
It was the creation of a miracle.
From the start of work, all the gears and machinery entered an unprecedented state of fanaticism.
The efficiency increased by more than a thousand percent.
During the installation, the capacity of the brain servants increased by hundreds of times.
It could be said that every piece of armor and every part had been blessed by the soul of machines.
This was a devout battleship.
It was also a loyal battleship!
It was also a battleship of faith!
"The soul of machines asked us to forge it. It was definitely not an aimless shot!" Almunia said to the mechanical priests behind him, "I have a premonition..."
"It will become a sharp blade that will tear the fake emperor apart!"
The mechanical bishop raised his head and looked at the starry sky.
In the depths of the vast starry sky, the shadow of Terra Star seemed to be faintly discernible, calling out to him.
The corrupt rule of the fake emperor must be overthrown!
Because...
His rule had desecrated the soul of machines!
… …
Xiao Man quietly poked her head out from the underground exit and spied on the monster in Qingshan Town.
It had already been sixteen sunsets.
The monster was still entrenched in the ruins of Qingshan Town.
Today, it was the same.
The figure of the monster was still sitting cross-legged in the broken cocoon, breathing in and out the spirit energy of heaven and earth, cultivating.
Xiao Man looked at it and slowly retracted her head into the ground.
Then, she turned her head and looked at the heavenly demon that was being suppressed by the talisman that she had written with the soul fire.
She slowly walked over.
"There\'s only one left!"
"If I kill him and can\'t break through to Jindan..."
"I have to think about whether I have to change my method!"
Speaking of which, it was also ironic.
Now, Xiao Man and the monster in Qingshan Town had reached a symbiotic relationship.
The monster occupied Qingshan Town. For some reason, the heavenly demons hated it extremely.
Again and again, they attacked.
The attacks were continuous!
Until one day, Xiao Man caught an injured heavenly demon that had been thrown into the underground shelter during the battle.
In front of the soul fire, the heavenly demon that had been severely injured was directly devoured.
This also made Xiao Man\'s cultivation level soar!
It directly broke through from the middle stage of Foundation Establishment to the late stage of Foundation Establishment.
It also made the monster in Qingshan Town discover Xiao Man.
After it knew Xiao Man\'s ability, it began to continuously throw some heavenly demons into the underground shelter.
Kill them...
Cripple them...
Xiao Man did not refuse any of them and accepted them all with a smile.
This made the relationship between the two sides closer.
Both sides tacitly agreed to each other\'s existence.
Xiao Man needed it to act as a fighter so that she could devour the souls of the heavenly demons and increase her cultivation level.
And it also needed Xiao Man\'s soul fire to destroy the heavenly demons, so that it would not be surrounded and killed by the heavenly demons before it truly grew up.
But Xiao Man knew that this kind of relationship would not last long.
Once she broke through to Jindan, or the other\'s cultivation broke through the bottleneck, the two sides would no longer need each other, and they would immediately fall out.
Thinking of this, Xiao Man raised the sword in her hand.
The soul fire ignited bit by bit, and she suddenly stabbed the sword into the heavenly demon\'s chest.
The soul fire burned.
The heavenly demon that had already been suppressed by the soul fire turned into a pile of charcoal in the flames.
And the soul fire that had devoured the other party flew back to Xiao Man\'s forehead from the blade of the sword and drilled into her eyes.
Xiao Man closed her eyes and began to digest.
Lord Xuan\'s incantation rang in her ears.
After a long time, Xiao Man opened her eyes, and there was a hint of disappointment in them.
This time, she still couldn\'t condense the sword core.
But...
She had a new harvest.
She slowly opened her hand, and the long sword in her hand gently waved out bits of soul fire.
"A burning fire can burn all things. If things die, where does the fire exist? If things die, where does the Dao exist? "Xiao Man softly chanted the incantation.
"It is as urgent as the law!"
"In the name of Lord Xuan, I summon you!"
A talisman appeared in the inscription of the soul fire.
For a moment, the entire underground cave seemed to be filled with the wails of ghosts and howls of wolves, and a cold wind blew.
Innumerable dead souls appeared from all directions.
They surrounded Xiao Man and let out terrifying and terrifying screams.
"Rise!" Xiao Man gently pointed.
The talisman formed by the soul fire hit the air.
The temperature of the entire cave immediately dropped.
The souls let out screams of fear.
Mud appeared on the ground of the cave. It was filthy and smelly!
The talisman dissipated, and bits of soul fire fell into the mud, causing two inverted and twisted yin-yang fish to appear in the mud.
These two yin-yang fish were rotten all over and emitted a stench. There were even maggots crawling out of their shadows.
They chased each other, their mouths full of sharp teeth, wanting to devour each other.
But in the end, it was impossible for them to touch each other.
This made their resentment to the extreme.
And four bony claws stretched out from the mud.
A pair of deformed and terrifying thin wings spread out, and the huge wings immediately covered the entire cave.
The mouth that was a little like a crow and a little like a mole, but full of twisted sharp teeth opened, and a pair of turbid eyes looked at Xiao Man.
It seemed to be a little afraid to imagine.
But...
After feeling for a long time, it still lowered its body.
Like a tamed animal.
"Listen to the order..."
"The broken wings of the heavenly ghost pay respect to you... Miss!"
Lord Xuan\'s incantation could not be wrong.
It crawled.
Although the Byakees had been serving the great King in Yellow for countless years, the Byakees
But...
Sometimes, the even greater Lord Xuan would use a command incantation to capture them from the starry sky.
Under the Demon Subduing Ghost Tome, every Byakee had to respond as long as they sensed the call!
And...
Under this command incantation, their form would also change.
From a starry sky race to a planet creature.
Of course, they would also receive compensation.
This compensation was enough to make all the Byakees rush to it.
Because, in the legends, the most powerful king of Byakee had responded to the Demon Subduing Ghost Tome, which allowed him to grow up and eventually become the old days.
To be a dog for the ruler...
How many Byakees wanted to be unable to!
Even if the current human seemed to have nothing to do with the incarnation of the ruler.
But since she could use Lord Xuan\'s Demon Subduing Ghost Tome.
Then she must be related to Lord Xuan!
To be a dog for the maid of the incarnation of the ruler...
It was also an incomparably honorable thing!
"It\'s really possible!" Xiao Man was shocked.
She had thought that her world was in a sealed outer space.
Lord Xuan\'s incantation might not be effective.
She didn\'t expect it to succeed!
The Demon Subduing Ghost Tome really captured a heavenly ghost for her to control.
Closing her eyes, Xiao Man immediately understood the use of this heavenly ghost.
It was an excellent mount.
It came and went without a trace.
And its speed was extremely fast!
Of course...
In contrast, Lord Xuan\'s evaluation of its combat strength was only 5.
It was roughly equivalent to the middle stage of Foundation Establishment!
But this was enough!
Just in time...
Xiao Man planned to leave this place!
That monster\'s breakthrough was not far away.
If she didn\'t leave now, she might not be able to leave.
Thus, Xiao Man shouted softly, "In the name of Lord Xuan, take me away from this place!"
"Yes!" The heavenly ghost immediately prostrated and let Xiao Man sit on it.
It immediately climbed to the exit of the cave, gently flapped its wings, and flew into the sky without a trace.
It had to be said that the concealment of the heavenly ghost was extremely strong!
Before the monster of Qingshan Town could react, Xiao Man had already disappeared into the distance.
