Chapter five hundred and twenty fourth fork in the road
In the height of summer, the water is still watery.
Xu Ji sat cross-legged under the willow tree, sensing that one new node after another was taking shape in the distance.
The willow branches became more and more lush.
The trunk of the tree is growing day by day, and the branches are intertwined, reaching deep into the earth's veins, intertwined with the mountains, rivers, and spiritual veins.
The willow tree is slowly breaking through that layer of shackles.
The shackles that trouble her further.
This also means that the shackles on China and its students are gradually being loosened.
"It feels more and more like playing a game BOSS back in the day!" Xu Ji thought.
The blood-locking BOSS is a classic design in many games.
F4 and F3 share the same blood and fate, but have different skills.
Killing one person is useless. You must kill them all at the same time to pass the level.
China is a bit like this now, everything is tied together.
However, Xu Ji was very happy about this.
It even feels like this kind of world is normal.
So, Xu Ji sat like this, feeling and comprehending the green lotus in the soap-black divine sword.
Learn and get used to observing and feeling this mythical world with the magical power and magic power of Taoist ancestors.
Until one day, Xu Ji suddenly opened his eyes.
He looked to the west.
I saw a huge Buddha falling from the western sky.
The Buddha's golden body ignited with nameless flames.
Faintly, it seemed as if there were twenty-four stars falling from the sky.
"This is... the Buddha's Nirvana!" Xu Ji subconsciously knew such a term, and then understood its meaning.
Nirvana, nirvana, complete peace.
It all means the same thing.
It is a stage in the practice process and a Buddhist practice method.
Everything is empty and everything is impermanent.
Therefore, the physical body is empty, the Buddha is empty, and even the soul is empty.
The end of space is silence and nothingness.
Therefore, for the Buddha to attain enlightenment, he needed to attain Nirvana.
After annihilation is nothingness. When you are reborn from nothingness, you can enter a new stage of practice.
"But...why do I know?" Xu Ji looked at the giant Buddha in the western sky, burning up in the flames of ignorance, and couldn't help but think about it.
yes!
Why do you know this? But not others?
Is it because the Buddha's level is high enough that automatic perception is inevitable?
A passivity belonging to a Taoist-level figure?
Or... other reasons.
For example, that Buddha has a grudge against the old god?
Or maybe both?
Xu Ji didn't quite understand, but he understood that maybe he would have to pay more attention to the West from now on.
"I wonder what the rank of Tathagata Buddha is at the current time point in this mythical world?"
"Is he also a Taoist ancestor?"
Xu Ji murmured to himself.
…
It's one o'clock in the morning.
Leader Tongtian put down the mobile phone in his hand, stood up, walked to the glass window of the balcony, and looked at the dimly lit night scene outside the window.
"As expected, the mortals in this world are already using their ingenuity to study how to kill each other!"
The video I just watched, encyclopedia introduction, introduces the saint to the tragic war that once took place in this world.
Tens of millions of mortals, armed with steel, fought against each other.
Mortal wars are fought at all costs!
Poison gas, plague, fire...
Everything that can kill has been created.
They even developed the same attack methods as the prehistoric magic weapons.
Therefore, all the great mortal countries in this world began to equip and arm a large number of weapons that could instantly destroy the enemy's cities.
That is the so-called nuclear weapon!
Judging from the videos and text introductions I have watched, it is precisely because of this ultimate weapon of destruction created by mortals that this world has finally ushered in decades of peace.
The nuclear balance between the major powers has controlled the intensity and scale of the war.
So much so that some mortals actually thought: "Nuclear weapons are the backbone of maintaining world peace!"
However……
Master Tongtian doesn’t see it that way.
Recalling the video I watched, the scene of the exploding fireball rising into the sky.
The shock wave swept across everything, and the blazing light and heat quickly melted everything.
It does seem to be extremely powerful.
However, in the eyes of the saint, the power of such a weapon is only equivalent to a strike from the Golden Immortal.
Far inferior to the battle between the demon god who manifested his true form and the ancestral witch of the Dharma World in the Great Lich Tribulation!
The ancestral witch Gonggong fought with the fire god Zhurong and smashed Buzhou Mountain into pieces, causing the sky to collapse and the earth to collapse!
The demon emperor Taiyi fought with the ancestral witch, tearing apart the stars, and shattered the ancient star man into pieces, which later became the Milky Way.
The Demon Emperor, Emperor Jun, swept through the great wasteland with a great formation of stars all over the sky, smashing the fairy mountains into pieces and destroying the fairy rivers.
In comparison, the so-called nuclear weapons of mortals in this world were just appetizers in that war.
Even if thousands of so-called nuclear bombs exploded at the same time, the power produced would probably not be as powerful as the aftermath of any of these tragic wars!
If such a aftermath exploded on Mount Buzhou, it would at most shatter a few rocks on Mount Buzhou and collapse several caves.
Other than that, Buzhou Mountain won't even move.
In this world, it would probably be just an earthquake.
At most it would be a little bigger and a little scary.
But want to destroy the world?
impossible!
Not to mention destroying this world, I am afraid that even the mortal world cannot be destroyed!
This is the judgment made by the sage after a preliminary review of the data and descriptions of so-called nuclear weapons in this world.
Then here comes the problem.
Since the leader of Tongtian can rely on the videos and text descriptions found on the so-called Internet, he can conclude that nuclear weapons cannot destroy the world, and cannot even achieve the "mutual destruction" guaranteed by the so-called "nuclear powers".
So, will these nuclear powers, which possess "nuclear weapons" and have conducted countless experiments, know?
The answer is probably obvious.
Maybe, the imperial centers of all the major countries in this world have plans for a nuclear war with their enemies (opponents).
For these people, they must know more than the leader of Tongtian.
They must also understand this.
so……
Why hasn't there been a fight in the past few decades?
Leader Tongtian looked at the dimly lit city. He opened the window and blew in the evening breeze. He already had an answer in his heart.
fear death!
The mortal nobles and high-ranking officials in this world are all in big cities.
Big cities are key targets for nuclear weapons.
Especially the center of the imperial court was a top priority.
"It seems that I need to discuss this with Xu Ji!"
"Before Nascent Soul, you must not have too deep animosity towards the mortal courts in this world!"
Nuclear weapons, why is no one using them?
Because I am afraid of death!
Afraid of retaliation!
If this is the case, even if the so-called nuclear war is won, those who enjoy the fruits of victory will not start a war.
The opponent will definitely try his best to destroy the center of the enemy country that started the war.
However, what if the target is an individual?
As soon as he thought about this, Master Tongtian remembered what Xu Ji once told him about the connection between the mortal court at his feet.
I also thought of the magic circle on the barren mountain in the suburbs and the remaining demon tree.
The sage then knew how Xu Ji should avoid becoming a loser to other mortal courts.
"After picking the spiritual fruit of the so-called 'Naga Ghost Tree', you can open a furnace to refine a life-extending pill!"
"The Prehistoric Life Extension Pill can extend the life of a mortal by a dozen years!"
"Although the spiritual energy in this world is thin and the potency of the medicine is greatly reduced, it can still extend your life by twenty years!"
"With this elixir as bait, I can buy twenty years of cultivation time!"
A furnace of life-extending pills contains sixty pills. If a saint opens the furnace himself, he should get ninety-nine and eighty-one pills.
Give it to the center of this country to win over the mortal nobles in this world and open the door for Xu Ji's cultivation.
In particular, looking for clues about the visitors from the prehistoric times will require the help of mortals in this world in the future!
…
Midnight in Manila is silent.
There was no one on the huge street.
Li Xiaofeng sat in a specially made bulletproof car and stared at the cold streets.
In my mind, I was reminiscing about what happened just now.
"President Li, I have to ask you for help this time!" The aging Japanese giant, wearing a kimono, solemnly asked him: "Once the Sakura Project is successful, we will never treat you badly!"
"Not only will I deliver what I promised, but other things you want can also be negotiated!"
Li Xiaofeng sighed softly: "Mr. Fujita, you are really old!"
"Same as Japan!"
If it had been in the past, how could Mr. Fujita be polite to him?
How can you be so polite?
It can only be said that the Japan of today is no longer the Japan that he needed to look up to and fawn over back then.
Today's Mr. Fujita is no longer the big shot who could easily decide his life and death, honor and disgrace.
He, the former Silla son-in-law and Japanese adopted son, was actually able to negotiate on an equal footing with a big shot like Mr. Fujita.
"The Sakura Project?" Li Xiaofeng recalled the plan between Mr. Fujita and the Japanese.
With the power of several security consortiums, a force capable of overturning the situation can be assembled in an instant.
Under the noses of Citigroup and that Republic, take action decisively and instantly kill the 'immortal', creating an established fact!
This is lower than upper!
The Japanese consortium's solo departure!
Typical Japanese painting style!
pity……
Li Xiaofeng sighed, and the mobile phone in his hand was played with gently.
He is just from Silla!
I just married a Japanese wife!
As for the Silla people, there is no tradition of subjugating the superior!
For more than a thousand years, the principle of taking matters into consideration has been deeply rooted in our bones!
The reality is that it is impossible for Silla's consortium to have the courage to go alone.
The Citi Headquarters at Yongsan Base is the highest headquarters of Silla.
Every consortium in Silla has directors from Citigroup.
Moreover, on the board of directors, Citizen people can make a veto if necessary.
So, after just thinking for a moment, Li Xiaofeng dialed a number.
After a while, the call was answered.
"Professor..." Li Xiaofeng said with a trembling voice: "I am Li Xiaofeng from the Seven Star Consortium!"
"I want to report it to you!"
No matter how much Li Xiaofeng kissed Japan, he still understood an iron fact: Citigroup is the only master!
…
Kru Yin put down the phone with a grim smile.
"What a good Snoopy!" he commented.
This is the highest praise Citi people can give to their vassals!
Snoopy, in Citi language, is never a derogatory term.
On the contrary, it is a complimentary word.
Loyal, brave and ferocious hounds are the traditional companions of the Citi people.
Is an indispensable member of the family!
"Do you want to warn the Japanese?" Vincent asked beside him.
"No need!" Kru Yin waved his hand: "Let them go ahead and do it!"
"We do not support, do not oppose, and do not obstruct!"
"Just like those bounties on Mr. G!" Kruyin smiled and turned on the office screen projection.
Live battlefield scenes recorded by drones, satellites, cameras, and multiple cameras, angles, and directions appear on the projection screen.
"It's really a conflict in a new era!" Kru Yin was full of admiration.
Vincent looked at it and nodded: "That's true!"
"It's not because we joined forces with the eastern republics to cut off the local network signals... I'm afraid this conflict on the border between Khmer and Siam will become an epoch-making conflict!"
"War can be presented in front of everyone through live broadcast!"
"Every participant in the war can become a media and a reporter!"
"The details of every battle and every conflict can be put on the Internet and become information for competing discussions and comments!"
On the dark web, hundreds of videos from different perspectives have appeared.
Some people even used precious satellite resources to broadcast live in the dark.
Holy Rome has obtained hundreds of terabytes of video data in the past few hours.
However, outside the dark web, everything is calm, and the whole world does not know that there are already tens of thousands of armed men fighting in the river valley triangle area on this planet.
The participating parties even began to use heavy firepower of more than 120 mm to suppress and attack the enemy!
Dozens of long-endurance drones are constantly hovering over the battlefield, conducting reconnaissance, discovery, and strikes.
Almost everyone involved felt like they had won.
The people of Holy Rome, watching the intensity of the conflict in the East rising, felt deeply that the 200,000 holy coins were worth it!
At least it’s worth more than letting Citi plan another Kosovo conflict in its own sphere of influence!
The Khmer and Siamese, especially the local warlords, have received a lot of green paper. I just hope that these uncles will fight more fiercely.
The people of Cochin were even more happy.
This was the first time they had such an opportunity for penetration since they were spanked.
Citigroup is fully looking forward to the emergence of the "immortal".
Various satellite resources have begun to gather in this area.
Various security consortiums are gearing up, planning to use this battle to build their reputation and style, and then win orders and win the market.
It's best to take advantage of this opportunity and step on the corpses of other competitors to get to the top.
Even several security consortiums in that country felt that they had won.
Because of this battle, the center is also paying attention.
If you stand out in front of the central government, you can win preferential policies!
All in all, there seems to be no loser in this delta conflict.
Everyone seems to get what they want.
Kru Yin suddenly turned his head, looked at Vincent, and whispered: "Vincent, do you know?"
"Um?"
"The commander-in-chief of Little Rakshasa will visit our Senate soon... to seek support!"
Vincent's eyebrows jumped up immediately: "How dare he?"
"Why doesn't he dare?" Kru Yin smiled, showing his neat and sharp teeth.
"The Senate always has to fight!"
"Every year hundreds of billions of dollars in military expenditures must be reimbursed somewhere!"
"How else can I explain it?"
"So!" Kru Yin smiled, stimulating Vincent's nerves: "You know what to do, right?"
Vincent's face suddenly darkened, and he gritted his teeth and said, "I know!"
Citi was founded on war, and since the founding of the country, there have been only a few years when it was not at war.
Other times, we are either at war or on the way to war.
Citigroup's hegemony is also built on the bones of people in other countries and regions.
If there is no war, what will Citigroup eat?
Without a war, how can Citigroup maintain its financial and economic hegemony?
Only in turmoil can there be profit.
Only war can harvest!
Therefore, Kruyin's meaning is obvious.
If you cannot mess up the East, then the Citi Senate will take action in the European direction.
The little Rakshasa is the key to success!
As long as the little Rakshasa forces the big Rakshasa into a corner, Europe will immediately fall into the dark clouds of war.
Inflation and economic crisis will follow.
After being destroyed and attacked by demons for twenty-two years, the conventional forces of European countries have actually been severely weakened!
In particular, there is an extreme shortage of excellent healthy soldiers!
Therefore, once the big Rakshasa is forced into a corner and has to go to war, and the torrent of steel rolls in, how can the plains of the little Rakshasa stop it?
In Vincent's mind, he could not help but sing the famous game theme song: The Rakshasa Bear is going to punish the world!
The Rakshasa steamroller is coming, and the European military police are resurrected!
Therefore, for him and Holy Rome, there is only one way to go-increase efforts!
But what Vincent didn't know was that his expression, revealed in Kruyin's eyes, was tantamount to announcing his identity.
"Sure enough, it's not a Rakshasa!"
"It's Prussia or Russia!"
"That's interesting!"
Yes, martial arts masters from Europe actually want to break free from their shackles?
So funny!
Unfortunately, this is no longer the 18th century, let alone the 19th century.
The fate of the European continent is not decided by themselves.
The people of Paris no longer have the courage to fight in the streets.
The people of Berlin also lost the courage to start another war.
Now, it is Citigroup, Rakshasa, or even that country in the east that dominates the destiny of the European continent!
Only it won’t be Continental itself!
Because they have lost their freedom.
Economy, national defense, science and technology, finance, public opinion and even martial arts can no longer be decided by the Europeans themselves!
It can be said that unless a nuclear war occurs and both the current global hegemons suffer losses, the European continent will have no chance to rise again!
Vincent was about to contact Holy Rome when he suddenly stopped, turned around and asked: "Professor, why do you want to tell such an important thing?"
Kru Yin grinned: "Guess!"
Vincent lowered his head, looked at the floor, and replied: "You don't want anything to happen to Europe, right?"
Kru Yin snapped his fingers: "Smart!"
Something goes wrong in Europe, which means Citigroup's center of gravity is shifting westward.
Press the gourd to float the scoop.
Dongfang is about to lose control!
As a patriot, Kruyin never wants such a situation to happen!
