Wearing that ring and connecting with that great mechanical intelligent life carried a huge risk. The reason why Jing Jiu was willing to do this was because there were great benefits associated with the risk. The best case scenario was that he would become the new god and the supreme ruler of the human civilization; then he would have no need to deal with these troublesome affairs. All he needed to do was to continue his Cultivation and advance, and to solve the problem of the Sea of Dark Matter.
Even without these, there were still enough benefits to attract him — and that was to find the Snow Girl through the surveillance network that covered the entire universe.
The book called "The Path toward Heaven" and the game of the same name had been promoted in the Federation of the Milky Way for some time. All the ascendants knew about it. He didn't believe that the Snow Girl didn't know about it. There were only two possibilities for Xue Gie not to come to him. Either she was hiding somewhere in the cold universe to adapt to the environment, or she was unwilling to be found by him.
Either way, it didn't seem like a choice the Snow Girl would make. The Queen was the true ruler of Chaotian; how could she live like the Immortal Tan?
He needed to find the Snow Girl and figure out what was going on.
Is this love?
Of course not.
He was afraid of death.
The problem was, if Xue Gie didn't want to be found by him, what could he do?
The interplanetary network that covered the entire universe and was as ubiquitous as light, as well as the various surveillance networks that were even deeper inside became the only way.
When he was in space, it only took a short period of time for him to put on the ring and receive the torrent of information from the entire human civilization to be implanted by the Grandmaster of Aoyama to control him. That period of time was far from enough for him to search every corner of the galaxy group, but it was enough for him to find some traces through the algorithm he had written in advance.
To be more specific, it was an extremely complicated algorithm and process. The main data collection and stimulation points were concentrated in the following aspects.
The abnormal phenomenon of a high-speed particle accelerator.
Blood Thumb reported a false alarm.
The anomalies in the regional temperature statistics.
It was an abnormal death.
And the most important mark.
The first and second points were aimed at the mosquitoes in the Fiend Prison.
The third and fourth points were about the Snow Girl herself.
The last point was aimed at Cold Cicada.
The Snow Girl brought Cold Cicada with her when she ascended, and Cold Cicada brought the mosquitoes with him.
The first four points were easy to understand; but the last one was what he told Cold Cicada when it left the Shenmo Peak.
…
…
It turned out that his algorithm was correct.
With the help of the ubiquitous surveillance network of the Federation of the Milky Way, Jing Jiu found the abnormal phenomenon of the high-speed particle accelerator in the laboratory of the Alpha Mine Enterprise and found two false positives from the Blood Thumb in this planetary region. He noticed this ordinary planet and found that the average temperature of this planet was 0.3 degrees lower than usual this year.
Such a small difference in values would not attract anyone's attention, but when linked to the previous two points, it meant a lot.
Finally, he saw a red street painting at the bottom of a building in the mining area of the planet. The traces had faded, and the strokes were clumsy. He could only vaguely tell that it was a stick-shaped object.
Considering that the holder was a Snow Beetle, it was not that difficult to understand that the red stick was a Thoughtless Sword.
There were two other things that Jing Jiu could not understand.
The Snow Girl likes the cold. Why didn't she live in the universe or somewhere far away from the stars? Why did she live in the human settlement? Why didn't the place she lived in have any abnormal signs of death? There had been a lot of unusual deaths on this planet in the past year, but they were all innocent people killed by the pirates.
These problems really gave him a headache.
He had a real headache; it was not a mental one, but a physical one.
He had been relying on Shen Yunmai's medicine to forcefully block the discharge of electricity in his brain, resulting in a blurred consciousness and a low computing ability; but he still couldn't stop the program completely.
The program kept trying to seize control of his body, like the resurrected Inherited Heaven Sword, hacking at his brain incessantly.
The raindrops fell on the green light rope, and countless sword wills fell on the deepest part of his soul. In his blurred consciousness and chaotic thinking, he understood why Jian Xilai had to die.
Even though he had used the information torrents of the human civilization to erase the imprint left by General Li in Jian Xilai's spiritual world, his spiritual awareness had remained there along with the information torrents. If Jian Xilai were still alive, the Grandmaster of Aoyama would be able to track him at any time through his spiritual awareness, unlike what he was doing now, when the program was sealed in his mind by force. As long as he didn't communicate with the outside world, he wouldn't have to worry about being discovered.
It suddenly rained from the sky.
This was the heavy industrial area, so the living conditions here were a bit terrible. There was only a single layer of protective shield against radiation and heating, and no other facilities were available. As a result, the rain was acid rain.
Jing Jiu raised his hand slowly and wiped the rainwater off his face, waiting for her in Silence.
After a long while, the sound of water in the sewer grew louder and louder, and then something happened again.
The mosquitoes were the first to come out.
Jing Jiu's consciousness was a bit blurry, and his eyesight was not as sharp as usual. Blocked by the heavy rain, he didn't notice them at first.
Cold Cicada crawled out next.
After being washed by the acid rain, Cold Cicada revealed its snow-white body. It crawled toward Jing Jiu at a high speed, its limbs rubbing against each other incessantly; it looked quite excited.
Jing Jiu reached out his finger. Cold Cicada crawled up at a high speed and squatted on Jing Jiu's shoulder, making a high-frequency sound, as if urging Jing Jiu to leave; but it turned its head to look at the opening of the sewer from time to time, as if it was reluctant to leave.
It was then that the Snow Girl had finally come out from the sewer along with the faint sound of water and friction.
Her entire body was covered with mud and dust, which formed black streams after being washed by the rainwater. She looked filthy.
The arrogant and unparalleled demeanor in her dark eyes was gone, replaced by fear and dread.
The dominator of Chaotian.
The Queen of the Snowy Kingdom.
Or a pitiful little stray animal?
Jing Jiu couldn't understand what he had seen. He felt his head ache more and more, and his consciousness grew dimmer and dimmer. In the end, he fell down into the rainwater.
…
…
It was unclear what changes the disappearance of Jing Jiu and the death of General Li would bring to the Federation of the Milky Way.
The passage of the Scorpion Tail Nebula was still closed. A few large mining companies felt a great deal of pressure. They kept on lobbying the Management Committee of the Main Planet, but they didn't achieve anything.
For some people, the influence and changes had arrived sooner than they had imagined. … …
Zong Lizi left the College of Priests and encountered an assassination attempt on her way back to the Stargate Base from the Main Planet. At the most dangerous moment, she tore the yellow paper crane left by Jing Jiu to pieces. As a result, the pirate spaceship was sliced into pieces by countless sword lights.
After learning of the incident, the female priest of the Stargate informed the College of Priests as quickly as possible. That being had expressed her attitude, and the military had stopped their operation.
The female priest of the Stargate still regarded Zong Lizi as her personal student. More importantly, she still believed that Jing Jiu was the new god, because she had experienced the miracles herself. She believed that what had happened was merely a test set by god for her.
However, Zong Lizi couldn't stay in the praying hall any longer, so she returned to the University of Stargate.
In the next moment, she lost her status as an exchange student at the University of Stargate and returned to the Shixin Institute.
In the next moment, she was expelled by the fat dean.
It took her a long time and a great deal of effort to travel from the apartment to the Shixin Institute to the University of Stargate and then to the College of Priests on the Main Planet, even though she had the help of Jing Jiu. The process of going back to the College of Priests was quite simple. All that was required was a few beeps from the wristband, and the right of access was removed one by one, and her position grew lower and lower.
The process was like climbing a mountain. It was very difficult to reach the top of the peak, but all it took was a rapid fall to the ground.
Few people remembered the ordinary girl from the underground neighborhood who had moved them in the news; it was because she had indeed turned back into an ordinary girl and returned to the apartment in the underground neighborhood. Come to think of it, it was a little ridiculous.
Ding!!! The door of the apartment was pushed open.
Zong Lizi sat on one end of the soft chair and looked at the other end of the chair, remaining silent for a long time.
After a long while, she felt a bit hungry. She went to get some food, but she found it hard to swallow. She walked out reflexively and ordered a plate of grilled eggplants and two bottles of ale from a barbecue stall in the black market.
The owner of the barbecue stall gave her only one bottle, and he poured himself a cup of ale with hers. He raised his cup to welcome her back, and he was afraid that she would drink too much.
The other drinkers at the barbecue stall also raised their cups to welcome her back, but they didn't forget to curse the person above.
Zong Lizi felt a bit tipsy after drinking half a bottle of ale.
Otherwise, why did the dreadful owner of the gaming parlor greet her on her way back to the apartment?
Why did that eccentric guy open the shutter door and ask her gingerly if she wanted a card with the high right of access?
After taking a bath, she stood in front of the mirror in the bathroom and looked at her hair that had been dyed silver again, thinking that it was a good thing that nothing had changed.
But, was it true that nothing had changed?
She was no longer used to the taste of the food rationed by the government.
She wasn't used to the empty chair.
She didn't need to take medicine to survive after eating.
She had seen the morning sun, the sea of stars, and a different world.
She picked up a towel and dried her wet silver hair. Then, she walked to the study room and picked up a book. She sat on the spot that guy was used to sitting on, reading the book casually and glancing at the outside of the window once in a while. There was a corner of the night sky high above the window, where a few stars could be vaguely seen.
Which star are you on now?
She had already memorized all those books, so it was not interesting to read them. She returned to the soft chair and turned on the TV screen to watch the news like that guy.
The content of the news was the same.
The military fleet had to stop the purging of the space pirates in the regions around the Scorpion Tail Nebula.
A sign of a space crack had appeared on a remote biological industrial planet, and the fleet was preparing to evacuate.
All the space pirates should die.
The space cracks had to be mended.
The problem of the Sea of Dark Matter had to be solved.
I will avenge you.
She thought of this in silence.
It was then that the door of the apartment was suddenly knocked on by someone.
The person's finger tapped on the door, making a sound that was low and steady, with a smooth and comfortable rhythm.
Whether it was the sound or the rhythm, there was a very familiar feeling.
Zong Lizi didn't even bother to check the surveillance. She rushed to the door and pulled it open. She saw a young woman in white clothing.
This young woman had a pair of picturesque eyes and eyebrows, a nonchalant aura. Her short black hair looked like a patch of wild grass, as if it hadn't been trimmed for hundreds of years.
In the next moment, a cat meowed in the apartment.
Meow!
Zong Lizi spun around and looked in the direction of the sound.
There was a display cabinet by the wall in the living room of the apartment, on which was a holographic picture of the lost Little Yellow Dog.
A white cat with long hair stood on the table and looked at the picture curiously, as if wondering what was going on.
