The Other Side of Deep Space

The top of the mountain was mottled with light and shadow, the nearby maple trees were bright red, the trees in the distance cast a large shadow, and the night birds occasionally woke up and cried in the night.

Many people got drunk that night and spoke their minds. Some were passionate and ambitious, saying that this was a great era and they should seize the opportunity to become extraordinary people, and even have ambitions for gods... "Light the divine fire and step onto the high altar..." Even a girl who was usually quiet was no longer so reserved.

Another boy even said loudly: "What are immortals? I think they are extraordinary people. The myths of the past may not be false. Bodhisattvas, Sanqing, immortals and Buddhas, and monsters may not be impossible to appear. Of course, I am saying that people of this level can still appear, not that the Bodhisattvas, monsters and immortals of the old times are still alive. After all, time is ruthless, and those who should be wiped out have been wiped out. Sanqing, immortals and Buddhas are still people, and it is impossible for them to live to this day. Back then, when they were alive, they were just flesh and blood people, very strong. However, according to the records of the pagodas, Taoist temples, relics, etc. that have been dug out, as well as various unearthed documents, they are far less powerful than we imagined, and there is no need to over-deify them. Several life research institutes have joined forces to analyze their remains. The strongest individual among the extraordinary creatures cannot withstand modern scientific and technological weapons. A nuclear bomb will still destroy them all."

The person who said this was a male classmate from Xinxing. He was obviously drunk and said some explosive materials, which were secrets that the old students had never heard before.

The chaebols of Xinxing had dug up some amazing things in the old land, and even found Buddha bones? !

The classmate added: "It's nothing strange, and there's no need to be amazed. For example, in some religions, there are underground palaces under pagodas, hiding stone boxes, iron boxes, jade boxes, gold boxes, etc., which contain Buddha bones and relics. They have been found in various places in the old land. In addition, there are unexpected gains in the Taoist ancestral temple, and I explored it many times later. Those relics and underground stone carvings tell many past events. Coupled with the analysis of those relics by several of the most prestigious life research institutes, there are naturally corresponding scientific and accurate conclusions. Bodhisattvas, immortals, Sanqing, etc. should all be flesh and blood people..."

Wang Xuan asked Zhou Kun beside him if these words were reliable.

"Not very reliable. The remains, hair and various relics dug out from the underground palace cannot say what they are exactly." Zhou Kun whispered.

What's rare is that he's not drunk yet. He continued, "Those who found some discrepancies with the legends of the immortals are considered to be powerful people similar to alchemists."

Wang Xuan asked, "So, the research at Nova has definite evidence that the most powerful alchemists in the pre-Qin era are not difficult to be killed by technological weapons?"

"Indeed, some research institutions have been fortunate enough to obtain the remains of several alchemists. After testing, they are indeed flesh and blood people, and many technological weapons can kill them."

Wang Xuan sighed rarely, and his emotions are rare.

For those who study the old art and want to go along this path, even if they are determined, they are a little disappointed to hear such a conclusion.

The most powerful alchemists in the pre-Qin era are already the limit of the old art, and they can only go that far. With the rise of scientific and technological civilization, it is easy to strangle the most powerful individuals among ancient humans.

In this era, the brilliance of science and technology has strangled the former brilliance of the old art. A neutron bomb will kill you all, whether you are a legend or a powerful alchemist standing at the top of the pyramid.

"What about the immortals?" Wang Xuan asked.

Zhou Kun said: "After in-depth research, some people believe that the immortals are the top alchemists, or people who are a level stronger than the alchemists of the pre-Qin period. They have been deified by word of mouth, but they are still human beings and cannot escape death in the face of technological weapons."

Wang Xuan sighed for the second time.

Living in this era, for those who devote themselves to the old art, it seems that there is no way out, the prospects are bleak, and the end can be seen at a glance.

"You don't want to go to the end of this road and become a person like the pre-Qin alchemists, do you?" Zhou Kun looked at him in surprise, then shook his head and said, "If you take this road now, you can see the end directly. The ending has been predetermined. Some consortiums and organizations invested in the old technique in the past, not for its offensive power, but for longevity. In terms of lethality, it is far inferior to modern technology."

He added, "And now there is the option of new techniques, which involve supernatural powers. The old techniques have even been replaced by the status of longevity."

Zhou Kun lowered his voice: "The new technique has great potential, and it may not be impossible to be deified in the future. Some research institutions are already preparing for research in this area."

"When I practice the new technique in the future, if there is a chance, I will ask someone to send you some information to see if you can take this path."

After saying this, he emphasized that he was drunk and didn't know what he said.

But he still didn't stop, still talking to himself.

"The path of finding new techniques is just a side benefit. What is really valuable is the discovery at the end of deep space. If I tell you that someone wants to take risks with a strong foundation of scientific and technological civilization, do you believe it? Although I don't believe it, there are rumors coming out from time to time."

After saying this, he said that he felt dizzy and wanted to go to the room to sit for a while.

After Zhou Kun left for a long time, Wang Xuan was still silent, thinking about the path of old techniques.

"Can you see the end at a glance? The prospects are bleak. But I still want to go on and take a look at the end. I want to continue exploring there." Wang Xuan said to himself.

Qin Cheng came closer and said, "Old Zhou is a very nice person. He vaguely told us a lot of news."

Wang Xuan nodded.

Not long after, he and Qin Cheng said goodbye to everyone and left.

"I'm leaving soon. I have to deal with my feelings. Old Wang, I'll disappear for two days to stabilize the backyard." Qin Cheng muttered on the way.

He was so drunk that he couldn't drive, so someone sent them back.

In fact, Qin Cheng appeared in front of Wang Xuan at noon the next day. His eyes were red, and he looked extremely lost, showing his sentimental side.

"I happily told her that I was going to Xinyue and would have the opportunity to immigrate to Xinxing in the future. As a result, she told me very calmly that we should break up. Just two words."

"I said, I will definitely come back and take you away, but she said, she won't wait for me!"

"Too heartless, she didn't say much, just six words before and after, straightforward and decisive!" Qin Cheng almost cried.

But Wang Xuan wanted to laugh, thinking that the girl was very interesting, especially since he had met her and was currently a junior, and he knew that the girl was very reliable.

"Don't you have the patience to ask her why?"

"I did ask her, and she said she didn't want to waste time until we became strangers to each other. Instead of that, it's better to separate and end it early."

After hearing this, Wang Xuan sighed: "This girl is really good, decisive, has personality, and is not pretentious. What's more, she is telling the truth. The future is full of variables. With your personality, you may really forget about her in a short time."

"Old Wang, you look down on me!" Qin Cheng said angrily, "I really like her!"

Wang Xuan smiled and didn't respond to his words.

Qin Cheng was anxious and said, "You don't really think I like Zhao Qinghan, do you? How is that possible! I said she is a goddess, that's just pure admiration. Who would choose her as a wife? She is only suitable for admiration from a distance. Who would have nothing to do but worship a deity at home? She is not suitable for getting close to each other. Besides, even if I have an idea, she has to avoid me. I know myself. I guess she won't consider me even if she chooses you, Lao Wang."

"Can you speak? It's as if she has no choice but to choose me. Don't bring it up on me."

"Lao Wang, don't you see that you are quite conceited? Otherwise, next time I tell Goddess Zhao that she chooses you, you may not agree."

Wang Xuan ignored him.

Seeing him so calm, Qin Cheng was a little anxious and said, "Old Wang, give me some advice quickly. If the backyard is not peaceful, I will not be willing to leave. Help me think of a solution."

Wang Xuan nodded and said, "I have seen this girl. We have had dinner together. She is really good. You have to work hard to win her over. Don't miss her if you can."

"How to win her over?"

"It is mainly because of the geographical isolation of you, but your family's business is related to deep space trade and is one of the suppliers below. You can definitely use your connections to find someone who travels back and forth on this road to deliver letters, photos, audio, etc. for you for a long time. Tell her that since you can contact each other instead of being separated for many years, there is no need to break up now. There will be a chance to give you a judgment at any time in the future."

"Okay, I'm leaving!" Qin Cheng turned around and ran away.

Half a quarter of an hour later, Wang Xuan left the campus and walked alone on the sidewalk. There were many ancient ginkgo trees on both sides of the road, and the fallen leaves were golden and all over the ground.

He walked to the end of the road, came to a building, and went straight in.

Although this building is very tall, there are not many people going in and out, and it is a bit deserted. As soon as he approached the elevator, someone stopped him.

Wang Xuan said nothing, took out a business card made of pure gold and handed it over.

The pupils of several people in front of the elevator shrank slightly, and one of them silently made a gesture of invitation and helped him press the elevator.

Wang Xuan nodded and walked in, and someone followed him.

The two of them went down with the elevator.

Finally, the elevator stopped at the thirteenth floor underground, a rare underground floor.

After Wang Xuan walked out of the elevator, he adapted to the dim space. There were few lights. It didn't look like a modern building below, but more like a cave carved out of the mountain rock.

Someone led the way, turning around and around, walking through the underground rock cave. The road was very tortuous, until finally entering a stone room, which was bright and brilliant.

The layout here is very modern, no different from a super large luxury office. A man sat behind a mahogany desk.

"You finally came." He had thick black short hair and a green mask on his face. He sounded like he was in his forties, a middle-aged man.

"I graduated and left the old art experimental class. I'm now a free man." Wang Xuan replied calmly.

"Ding!"

The middle-aged man wearing a green mask made a crisp sound in his hand, like gold and jade colliding.

Wang Xuan's pupils shrank instantly, and he saw clearly what the middle-aged man was playing with in his hand. It was two golden bamboo slips. Professor Lin had talked about this kind of strange thing!

"Oh, you also know this kind of thing? Since you have made a choice, I will give you one."

The middle-aged man wearing a green mask threw it lightly, and a golden bamboo slip fell into Wang Xuan's hand. It was heavy and particularly heavy.

Wang Xuan lowered his head and saw that there was an engraving on the golden bamboo slip!
