Old Youling couldn’t answer this question, and Chu Yunsheng couldn’t answer either. After all, some key questions were not so easy to understand in an instant. For example, how to create a real sword after breaking into the zero-dimensional space of others, and so on. It was already not bad that he could figure out that it was not the extension of the zero-dimensional space.
What Chu Yunsheng wanted right now was a way to kill the gray shadow. He racked his brains to explore these issues was not to thoroughly figure it out, but to quickly come up with a way to increase the power of this skill. He did not have the knowledge and ability, so he would not spend too much time on it.
As for the sequelae, he had no time to think about it right now, even if it was drinking poison to quench his thirst, he had to drink it.
Pseudo-Monolith or node was undoubtedly the most favorable condition, but it couldn’t be manipulated to increase the lethality of sword intent. Therefore, there were only two methods left: one was to use Wuzi Fragment to enhance the detail of the sword and remove the blurry and fragile feeling of the sword, making it clearer and more realistic. Only that kind of sword would be more deadly. If it was just the sword intent that he used to kill those tentacle monsters earlier, it would probably be difficult to kill the grey shadow who obviously had the strength of Cardinal Source Gate.
The second one was to increase the power that could break dimensional barriers and allow him to break into other people’s Zero-dimensional space. Only by increasing it could his attack range be increased. If it was only five or six meters, no matter how strong the sword intent was, what kind of use would it have? The gray shadow could wipe him out with just a finger from a distance.
The first one could be achieved slowly through the subtle manipulation of the Wuzhi fragment. The second one was a little difficult because he really didn’t know what that kind of power was. Thinking it over and over again, there were only three forces that balanced each other in his zero-dimensional space. Amongst the three, the last one was the most mysterious one. So he didn’t know if this power came from that last force. However, in this kind of situation, he didn’t have many choices. He could only try to use the method of purifying and storing the black gas through the body made of Wuzi Fragment to enhance the last mysterious force.
This required Old Youling’s help. After all, only Old Youling could send him into the zero-dimensional space. Therefore, after Aphro ran away with him on her back for three days straight, Chu Yunsheng decided to hide in a remote, empty mountain village to recover from his injuries as soon as possible. Not only him, but Old Youling also needed to recover as soon as possible.
He only needed to follow the cultivation method to rebuild the broken and collapsed Chu Yuan Body, and slowly recover the damaged parts of the body. Unlike ordinary people, Old Youling needed to swallow a lot of creatures to recover.
Therefore, Chu Yunsheng has been sitting quietly on the bed of a tiled house in the mountain village. Old Youling appeared and disappeared like a ghost, looking for something to devour. But Aphro’s behavior was very strange. In addition to being responsible for guarding Chu Yunsheng, she spent her free time reading some books she found in the house under the faint light. When she met a word that she couldn’t recognize, she would look up the dictionary herself.
Chu Yunsheng didn’t know what book she was reading. But he noticed that she was reading it very carefully. Although she dared not ask him for advice when encountering a problem, she always slightly frowned her lovely eyebrows.
As days went by, Chu Yunsheng’s injuries gradually recovered, and Old Youling’s smoke also gradually strengthened, but Aphro became more and more confused and depressed. When Chu Yunsheng noticed it, she was laden with anxiety, and she looked as if she was sick.
Chu Yunsheng felt very strange, so while she was lying on the desk to rest, he flipped through the textbooks she had been reading. One of the books that had already been opened had the words “Ideology and Morality” written in it, and the context of the book had both text and picture:
“I grew up.”
“Respect parents and teachers.”
“Be civilized and frugal at home.”
“My little buddies.”
“Safety in life.”
...
These were okay. Chu Yunsheng frowned and continued turning the pages, suddenly his hand stopped and returned to the previous page, which was written:
“Love the motherland and the people.”
“Great and correct...”
“Only under the leadership of... can we...”
“Feudal superstition... human beings from the age of ignorance... atheism... materialism.”
...
Perhaps the noise Chu Yunsheng made when turning the pages was a little bit loud, Aphro woke up from her sleep. When she saw that Chu Yunsheng was turning the page, her eyes suddenly became flustered, she stood up quickly and knelt down again in panic. When Chu Yunsheng looked away from the book and looked at her, she even began to tremble.
“I, I’ve sinned.” Aphro’s pronunciation was still not accurate, but it was full of fear and regret.
“What’s your sin?” Chu Yunsheng closed the “Ideology and Morality” and pulled her up. Seeing her eyes glance at the book, he thought for a second and said, “It’s just an ordinary book. It’s not as serious as you think. We will receive this kind of education when we are young.”
Aphro trembled, knelt down again, and said in the language that she was still not familiar with, “Blas, phemy.”
Chu Yunsheng’s right arm hasn’t grown up, so he could only use his left hand to pull her up again, point to the elementary school textbook, and speak slowly. “There is no blasphemy. Most of the knowledge in that book isn’t wrong. You needn’t be so frightened. I noticed you are not yourself in the last few days. Is it because of that book? In the past, we didn’t speak the same language so I couldn’t talk to you. Now that you can understand some of it, I think it is time to clear a few things. I’m not the Gai Yi you talked about, neither were the people you saw. We are just human beings, and there used to be billions of us living on the earth. Human beings are just like you. We are all living creatures, and apart from color and tail, we are fundamentally no different from each other.”
Aphro was both confused and frightened like a little girl who was lost.
Chu Yunsheng knew that it was difficult to explain clearly to a steadfast god worshiper, so he found a copy of “Natural Science” on the desk, turned to a page where pictures of the solar system were, and pointed to a planet: “This planet is our earth, which revolves around the sun, and forms a planetary system with several other planets, which is our solar system, and our solar system revolves around the entire larger galaxy. Your planet is in the same galaxy as our solar system and is about three thousand light-years away. Hmmm, that’s where light takes three thousand years to get to. We’re all the same.”
Aphro looked at those pictures on the planet and then looked at another illustration on the opposite page. With her cute little brows tightly frowned, she showed a sad look and said with a low and sad voice, “The Celestial Star above the temple has fallen...”
Chu Yunsheng followed her gaze in surprise and looked at the page that had illustrations of many kinds of artificial satellites painted on it. At this time, Old Youling came back, took a look at Chu Yunsheng, and sighed: “She was talking about a spacecraft such as a geostationary orbiting satellite or a space strike weapon that had orbited the planet for three thousand years. It had probably fallen into disrepair and crashed.”
Aphro suddenly burst into tears without any warning and cried, “The star fell, the pagan rebels rose; there were rumors in various places that the temple had lost the protection of God. Many kingdoms have joined the rebels; they expelled the servants of God, burned temples, and killed the saints and the minister of temples. Knights of the divine temple were deeply trapped and defeated again and again. Later, I heard that some knights of the divine temple also joined the rebels. The Grand Temple was in danger, so I had no choice but to call on God’s Presence ahead of time and pray to God for atonement...”
Her pronunciation wasn’t great, and only after Old Youling’s correction from the side, Chu Yunsheng could understand what she said.
It turned out that Aphro was a sacrifice of a desperate call to God for help when the entire temple was in danger. No wonder after talking to her, Old Youling believed in the things about Rainbow Bridge.
“Oh...” Seeing that it was really difficult to communicate, Chu Yunsheng said quickly: “Old Youling, you and Aphro can try to get back to that cold star, I guess that in order to wait for the advent of God, the people of the temple definitely have prepared more than one saintess like Aphro. Even though it’s a female body, you need to make do with it. I hate Descenders, but there’s no better way at the moment. You and Aphro are outsiders, so you must leave this world eventually...
After the descent is complete, close the facilities of God’s Presence immediately. It would be great if they can be destroyed. I heard the sixth sequence say that there were already many fleets and forces rushing to the cold star. Calculating the time, and based on their technology, they may have already arrived. Those who are not technologically advanced may still be on the way. So you must be careful and try not to expose yourself. If I am still alive in the future, I will definitely go to the cold star to see that slave ship and find out who is enslaving us!”
Aphro looked at Chu Yunsheng with confused and pleading eyes, and Old Youling explained: “She probably wants you to go there with her.”
Chu Yunsheng shook his head and said to Aphro: “I’m not your Gai Yi, and my character... Old Youling is probably the most suitable. It doesn’t reject things like temples. In just a few days, it could create a Phantom Sect in this world, so it is something you need the most at the moment. Aphro, I am very grateful that you can carry me out of the danger, so I am willing to help you. Old Youling knows magical techniques and many advanced technologies, I will also give you some manuals, I hope your cold star will be able to survive this.”
“By the way, through your memory, I seemed to have seen a handsome knight who had been ordained by the temple. He looked very loyal, and his eyes seemed to be always on you-”
Chu Yunsheng didn’t notice Aphro’s face blushed slightly and continued: “You have to be especially careful with this person. I had a dream. I wonder if it would come true. Anyway, this young and handsome knight will eventually become the leader of the main force that wants to kill god... Aphro? Are you alright?”
The blue-haired girl’s face suddenly turned pale, her tender body seemed to be shaken, and she was about to collapse. Chu Yunsheng stretched out his hand to support her and frowned. It seemed that Aphro knew who he was talking about, and she certainly couldn’t bear the shock of this kind of betrayal.
Thinking of this, he wanted to say a few words to comfort her, but then he felt a sudden palpitation; it wouldn’t be his words that drove the wedge between them and caused the knight to join the rebels, would it?
Thinking about it this way, he didn’t know what to say to her anymore. In the end, he simply thought that maybe he could leave it to Old Youling to handle it. Then he changed the topic and asked Old Youling, “How can you be sure that there is a perfect descending tunnel in the Great Pyramid?”
Old Youling found a pencil on the desk, picked it up with its smoke, and drew a picture of the interior of the pyramid on the paper, pointing to the position of the chamber and said: “There is a spiral tunnel above it, pointing to Orion constellation. There should be a secret room inside. You can’t get in without breaking the fourth dimension. I’ve checked the data. Imhotep, the person who designed the pyramid, was most likely the earliest descender. The pharaohs of ancient Egypt believed that souls could enter the world of the gods through it, and when the gods came, they would also resurrect the Pharaohs, so they mummified themselves in order to be reincarnated, which is descent. Anyway, we will know when we get there.”
Chu Yunsheng nodded: “In that case, it should not be delayed. This place is too close to Shanghai. They may appear at any time. After the meal, we can take a good rest tonight. Then we will set off early tomorrow morning and fly directly to Egypt on the back of a green-shelled insect!”
