Before leaving Chaotian, Jing Jiu had arranged everything and calculated many things.
For instance, the Immortal Tan would be the second person to ascend.
Though Old Tan looked dull and useless, he was actually very powerful after being bullied by his wife for hundreds of years and scared by Bai Ren, and he didn't dare take the step forward.
His strength lay in his broad forehead and broad-mindedness, as well as his honesty.
Now that Bai Ren and Bai Zhenren were both dead, the pressure from his wife's family had vanished, and the affection for his wife had been erased. As such, he could take the step forward smoothly.
As for making the fairy ladies to replenish the spiritual energy in Chaotian, he had discussed this with the Immortal Tan when he sold Tong Yan back to the Zhongzhou School.
He had told Jian Xilai and Cao Yuan the same thing.
Who would ascend after the Immortal Tan then? Cao Yuan was of course very powerful, but it was not easy for him to think it through. It depended on when Jian Xilai would come out, and when Shisui would be able to completely grasp the essence of the All in One Sword. As for the little Snow Girl in the snowland … she was still too young. Though she had a child with Peng Lang, she would still have to wait many years before she could leave.
The problem was that the little Snow Girl would grow up quickly and learn how to fight. When she quarreled with her mother, which side would Peng Lang stand on? If the family of three fought, it would be earth-shattering, and the whole of Chaotian would be destroyed. Fortunately, Ping Yong-Ka was still in Aoyama, so he was safe. There was no need for Jing Jiu to worry about him.
What he really cared about was how many of the Cultivation practitioners of the next generation in Chaotian would ascend hundreds of years later.
Little Layue would ascend for sure, but was it possible for Shisui?
The flow of time in this world called the Stargate was different from that in the universe. It was unclear whether hundreds of years in Chaotian were equivalent to a few years or a few decades in this world.
Thinking of all this, Jing Jiu felt a rare sense of frustration. He pulled back his line of sight from that corner of the universe and returned to the living room. He picked up the computer and resumed studying college physics.
It was the eighth day of his systematic study and the fourth day of studying physics, but it was still very difficult.
It didn't take long before he chose to give up for the first time in his life. He picked up the remote control and turned on the TV, watching a TV series called "The Interstellar Wanderers".
The silver-haired girl, Zong Lizi, guessed that he was still focused on his studies, judging from his motionless posture and his gaze in the distance. She felt both admiration and baffled.
Since this young man was someone from above, he must have received an excellent education since he was young. Moreover, he should have completed the infusion of knowledge. Why did he have to study so hard like me?
She said, "I really think it's too difficult. Why don't we change courses?"
Jing Jiu thought what she said was reasonable. He uttered "hmm" and said, "I'll read the simplest math tomorrow."
Zong Lizi widened her eyes, wondering if he was crazy. "The simplest … math?" she repeated.
Jing Jiu thought, What's wrong?
This was what he was best at.
…
…
The next day happened to be a rest day. Zong Lizi didn't go to school, and she had finished the paper. As such, Jing Jiu had the right to use the computer all day.
He turned on his computer, logged into the academy's website, opened the section related to lesson plans, and entered the mathematics section.
Since it was a systematic study, he had to start with the basic teaching materials, such as one plus one equals two.
He was quite familiar with the strange symbols by now. He had successfully finished the elementary school, middle school, and high school courses. His eyebrows arched up, and then they rose higher and higher. When he started studying the mathematics of the university, his eyebrows finally dropped down. He looked at the computer silently for a long time.
Zong Lizi went out to get the relief voucher and brought back a week's worth of food. When she came back, she found Jing Jiu was still staring at the screen of the computer, his posture unchanged. "Is it difficult? I failed the course in the second semester, "she said.
"The idea is indeed a bit odd, but it's not that difficult." Having said this, Jing Jiu resumed his study.
He had finally learned the number theory at two o 'clock in the afternoon.
He was still studying the number theory at four o 'clock in the afternoon.
At six o 'clock in the afternoon, he decided to change his way of thinking and rest his brain. As a result, he jumped to the algebraic geometry.
Afterwards, he didn't manage to jump to the next level.
It was late at night, and the TV had been turned off. An excited rooster's crowing suddenly broke out in a corner; it was a good alarm clock.
Jing Jiu lifted his head and found that it was past twelve o 'clock, which meant that the nine days were over.
He hadn't finished studying physics yet. As for the simplest mathematics … he didn't want to remember the name for the time being.
He turned off the computer and lay on the chair. He pulled out the cushion from under his body and held it in his chest. Then he rolled up on his side and stared at the photo on the wardrobe in a daze. Zong Lizi was woken up by the alarm clock. She walked out of the bedroom while rubbing her eyes. The first thing she saw was such a scene. "Are you alright?" she asked worriedly.
"My calculating ability is unparalleled in the world, and I'm a unique genius. It took me only nine days to learn everything about life, including chopping firewood, cooking, and transplanting rice seedlings." Looking at the yellow cat with a disgusting smile in the photo while holding the cushion, Jing Jiu asked confusedly, "Why can't I do it now? Is it because the level of this world is too low, affecting the speed of my thinking? "
Zong Lizi vaguely understood what Jing Jiu meant. She felt both angry and amused, thinking that it was not a matter of learning everything by rote. Even if he were the most powerful computer in the Federation of the Milky Way, he still couldn't solve all the problems in nine days.
There were many unsolvable problems in the field of science to begin with.
Happiness, sadness, frustration, and self-blame were all momentary emotions for the immortals who had achieved success in Cultivation.
Jing Jiu soon stopped thinking about it. He got up, picked up the pen on the tea table, and wrote down two words on the paper.
"Year."
"Robot."
…
…
Taiping Zhenren asked Jing Jiu twice before his death, "What is a year?"
When Jing Jiu woke up in the lab, he heard the two scientists say that he was a liquid metal robot. What was a robot then?
Jing Jiu had a profound understanding of the concepts of "year" and "robot" through reading and studying over the last few days, including the origin of the words, the characteristics of the cultures in various galaxies, the three laws, and the awakening of artificial intelligence … but he still couldn't answer these two questions.
Yet, Zong Lizi was thinking of another question at the moment.
She leaned over to take a look and asked, "The paper is very expensive … Why don't you write it on the computer?"
"I'm more used to using paper and pen," said Jing Jiu.
Zong Lizi thought that he was indeed a rich person from the upper class, or an old man who liked to revisit the ancient style.
Jing Jiu suddenly stared into her eyes, his expression quite profound, as if he wanted to see through her mind.
Feeling a bit shy, Zong Lizi attempted to turn her head around reflexively.
"Don't move," said Jing Jiu in an exceedingly attractive voice.
Zong Lizi was extremely nervous. She clutched her pajamas tightly, thinking that they had known each other for only ten days; it was too fast. A minute later, Jing Jiu had finished scanning her iris. He nodded satisfactorily and asked, "How can I send out a message and let the whole world, no, the whole universe, see it?"
Zong Lizi was taken aback for a long time. Two blushes appeared on her face at a speed visible to the naked eye. It was not because she was shy this time, but because she was angry.
The obvious evidence was her silvery hair tousling, even though there was no wind in the room. Yet, she couldn't tell Jing Jiu about this misunderstanding. She forced herself to calm down after taking two deep breaths and thinking of the doctor's advice. "As long as I have enough money, I can do anything," she said expressionlessly.
Jing Jiu thought that though this neighborhood was poor, he should be able to gather enough money if he went to a few shops to withdraw some money. "I can solve it," he said.
Hearing this, Zong Lizi's eyes beamed slightly, and her mood improved a lot. She started giving Jing Jiu some advice, "Even if we have enough money to buy the advertisement and let the whole of the Federation of the Milky Way see it, some people won't be able to see it. For instance, the members of the Federation of the Milky Way can be exempted from the advertisement."
Zong Lizi was a smart girl, so she figured out what Jing Jiu was looking for by sending out the message.
"What is the most attractive thing then?" asked Jing Jiu.
"What?" Zong Lizi pressed.
Jing Jiu had a suspicion when he thought of the collection of romance novels in a deep folder on the computer.
What he couldn't understand the most was why someone would write novels and why so many people were willing to do so, be it in Chaotian or here.
If one wished to experience a different life through a story, one could build a new world in one's own consciousness and create characters, and then let the characters interact with each other according to the desired plot. They could fight each other to the death, love each other, and create a great many different types of love and hate, life and death … Moreover, the magic treasures in this world were quite advanced, like the Heavenly Retrieval Orb. Now that they could create the realistic figures of the characters, why did they still need to read the words?
Zong Lizi said, "The story is the foundation, which is processed by the light cabin. As a result, the people can create the characters according to their own ideas and let them play the roles in the story as if they were alive. How come you … don't know this?"
Jing Jiu thought that the people who had left in the story would still die even if they came back to life in this way. "I'll write a story then," said Jing Jiu.
"You should publish it on the website of the institute first. If you have enough subscriptions, you can buy the right to publish it on the Star Zone Network."
Zong Lizi asked earnestly while staring into his eyes, "Is your story interesting?"
Jing Jiu said, "This is a story about the people of Jingyang. The characters have distinct personalities, the plot is complicated and ever-changing, and the writing is fresh and accurate."
It was true that what he wanted to write was the story of Chaotian in the last one thousand years.
If there were any ascendants from Chaotian in this world, like the founding grandmasters of the Aoyama Sect or the Immortal Chunyang, they would definitely come to this world after reading this story.
The universe was too vast and there were too many humans. It would be difficult for Jing Jiu to find those predecessors and colleagues who had ascended. Moreover, the battleships and the magic treasures that could explode with the fairy energy were out there; it was dangerous. It was best for him to stay in this inconspicuous neighborhood and wait for those colleagues to come to him.
Of course, he hoped that the Snow Girl would come.
If nobody came after a while, he would enter the high platform amid the clouds and fog and look for new clues in other places in the universe.
"What on earth are you looking for?" asked Zong Lizi.
"I'm looking for an answer," replied Jing Jiu.
Feeling curious, Zong Lizi asked, "What answer?"
"Who am I," replied Jing Jiu.
Zong Lizi said while looking at him sympathetically, "Don't read the books on philosophy. What if you become stupid?"
