Chapter 675: The Garden of Eden: Revelation (Test Version)
Silly Old Seven was blocked.
In an abandoned amusement park just outside New York City, a dozen top-notch superhumans from the MAGA world blocked the place from all directions.
Silly Old Seven felt a strong threat. He was hiding outside the carousel that was covered with spray paint, with his hands pointed like swords and his hair disheveled, ready to fight to the death.
Unlike his previous embarrassed appearance in the sewer, Silly Old Seven this time changed into a new set of clothes that he got from somewhere.
He was wearing a loose jumpsuit, jeans and two sneakers of different colors and shapes. His face and body were washed, revealing his handsome cheeks.
But the confusion in his eyes did not diminish.
The inner demons are still affecting him, and he still can't remember who he is.
In this confrontation at dusk, Lao Qi's body was full of shining sharp sword lights. Any person or object that dared to approach him would be chopped to pieces by the sharp sword energy.
Lao Qi's absolute strength may not be considered top-notch in the MAGA world, where there are many hidden dragons and crouching tigers, but his destructive power as a swordsman is definitely the best among the best.
He might die under the attack of these pursuers, but before he died, he was sure to drag these guys to hell with him.
Oh, that's not right.
It's just that they will die.
The seventh brother has already cultivated his primordial spirit. After his sword-bone jade body is destroyed, he can still escape with his primordial spirit and then take over another body.
"Don't be afraid, I won't hurt you."
In front of Silly Old Seven, Barbara, the Heart of the World, who was wearing a loose long skirt, was talking to him.
The appearance of this black-haired woman is outstanding. Perhaps because she carries the heart of the world, her voice is warm and soothing when she speaks.
Even the cautious and silly Old Seven couldn't hate her.
Beside Barbara, there was a female swordsman wearing casual clothes and high boots, but holding a cross sword. The latter looked at Lao Qi vigilantly, with her fingers kept on the hilt of the sword.
As a sword practitioner, Lao Qi could easily feel that the sword in the hands of this female swordsman was definitely not an ordinary weapon.
It is full of spiritual charm, and seems to be surrounded by a strange power. Such a sword, placed in the Ku Mu Realm, is qualified to be called the embryo of a spiritual treasure.
This is a strong enemy!
Lao Qi maintained the action of activating the sword energy. He stared at the two people in front of him without saying a word.
"I'm here to help you. You have the aura of the wild on you. That evil power is affecting you. I can help you extract it."
Mrs. Barbara spoke to Silly Old Seven in the not-so-standard language of Kumu Realm.
She then signaled to the top hero "Holy Sword" who was guarding her not to show any hostility. She spread her hands and took a few steps forward, which immediately led to a counterattack from Lao Qi.
Several invisible swords that could penetrate the body whistled towards Barbara, not allowing her to get any closer.
"It's okay, don't be afraid."
Barbara raised her hands.
At this distance, she could already sense the demonic power raging in Silly Old Seven's body, so she used her ability as the carrier of the Heart of the World to try to extract that demonic power.
Puffs of black smoke, caused by her, flew out from the ears and nostrils of Silly Old Seven, making Old Seven tremble with pain all over.
The pain forced him to interrupt the spell cast by the strange woman in front of him, but his increasingly clear mind made him realize that the woman in front of him was really helping him.
The sword energy was still surrounding him, but he had already changed from an attacking posture to a defensive one.
After more than ten seconds of absorption, the inner demon power in Lao Qi's body was suppressed by Barbara, allowing him to regain consciousness, and his disturbed memories were also restored bit by bit.
But things weren't so good for Barbara.
What she carries in her body is not only the heart of the world, but also the disaster that has been trying to destroy this world. It is also the evil that has coexisted with her for a thousand years.
For the past thousand years, civilization and destruction have been engaged in a tug-of-war within her body.
She didn't know this before and only thought that she was born with disaster. It was not until the guardians of the Heart of the World found her and told her the truth that she realized that she was carrying the fate of the world.
She is the child of destiny in the M world.
When the power of disaster in her body grows and overwhelms civilization, it will trigger terrible misfortunes with her as the center. These misfortunes will continue to accumulate and eventually develop into a world-destroying disaster.
But when civilization can suppress the disaster, she can use the authority of the Heart of the World to do the right thing.
She was learning to use this power, and she was learning quickly, now able to protect her protectors from being discovered by the invaders from thousands of years ago.
However, maintaining the balance of both forces in her body is a difficult job. When she absorbed the evil of the inner demon for Silly Old Seven and transferred that power into her own body, the confrontation between disaster and civilization began once again.
Barbara's body was shaking and her face was pale.
Invisible black air also emanated from her and began to interfere with the surrounding environment.
"Don't... don't touch me! Quick, get out of here, the doom is about to explode."
Barbara stood up with difficulty and gave some instructions to the Holy Sword who wanted to support her. The latter's face changed slightly and he immediately whistled, asking the heroes around him to step back to avoid being affected by the disaster caused by bad luck.
"Bang"
In the abandoned amusement park, the large screws that fixed the rusty Ferris wheel broke, and the huge Ferris wheel swayed and fell down. In the harsh bombardment, the circuit center of the amusement park that had long been unmaintained was destroyed.
In the flickering electric light, flames soared into the air.
A few seconds later, a huge explosion sounded throughout this uninhabited place. Just half a minute later, the entire abandoned amusement park was completely set on fire in a series of unexpected events.
This is not over yet, the flames are showing signs of spreading to the surrounding areas.
I am indeed an unlucky person.
Barbara half-knelt weakly on the ground, looking at everything in front of her in pain. She once again felt the malice that had been following her like a shadow for the past thousand years, and this malice had never diminished.
It never disappeared from her life.
She is a messenger of misfortune who cannot bring happiness to anyone, unless she can release the disaster on herself into another world, thus protecting her own world.
But that also means another world will die because of her.
It's a tough decision.
"What’s wrong with you?"
Just as Barbara was suffering from the tragic future that she was destined to be destroyed, the voice of Silly Old Seven sounded in front of her. Even after he regained his senses, there was still a trace of confusion in Old Seven's eyes.
He knew that it was the black-haired woman in front of him who helped him, and he always repays favors.
"Are you feeling uncomfortable? Do you want me to help you?"
The dishevelled silly old man squatted down, looked at the suffering woman in front of him, and said:
"Why are you able to suppress your inner demons? I have never heard of this strange power. If you go to the Bitter Wood Realm, you will definitely be snatched away by all the major sects."
"Stay away from me, I will bring bad luck to you."
Barbara lowered her head and said with difficulty:
"Wait for me in a safe place. As long as I can release this little bit of bad luck, as long as I can keep them balanced again... everything will be fine. It only takes a little time."
"doom?"
Lao Qi raised his head and watched the out-of-control helicopter in the sky spinning towards him.
The swordsman, who had cleansed his inner demons and felt refreshed, laughed heartily, raised his hand and pointed, and a stream of invisible sword energy shot out, blowing up the out-of-control aircraft in mid-air.
As the flames swept the wreckage down, Silly Old Seven picked up the self-pitying Barbara, transformed himself into a sword-shaped aura, broke through the surrounding sea of fire, and brought her out of the place shrouded in disaster.
"What disasters should we sword cultivators be afraid of?"
Silly Old Seven said in a deep and brave voice:
"Isn't this what cultivation is all about? When you encounter difficulties, don't be afraid, just cut them off with one sword! If you are afraid of this and that, and think too much, how can you accomplish anything?
To move forward courageously is the true intention of a swordsman.
This is what my master taught me.
Don't be afraid.
You helped me, and I will help you."
——
"The target location has been locked, the surrounding dangers have been cleared, and the first phase of the 'Revelation' test has begun. The 'Forerunner' consciousness is descending...
The bio-chamber is ready to open."
"three"
"two"
"one"
"Open!"
"Click"
A soft sound.
Fifty silver-white biological capsules placed on the ground opened at the same time. As the slightly cold concentrated nutrient gas dissipated, a group of naked guys opened their eyes blankly.
They climbed out of their bio-capsules with some difficulty, and looked at the unfamiliar environment around them from a perspective that was completely different from the virtual world and more vivid.
They could see a blue sky with white clouds.
They could hear the echo of the sea hitting the shore, and the sound of the waves rolling was so clear.
They could still breathe the air, which had a fishy smell coming from the sea, but it was not unpleasant.
Fresh.
A real and vivid world unfolds before their eyes.
It is not as good as the life in the past. In fact, that world with abundant resources, distribution according to needs and extremely high productivity is more like a midnight dream that makes people intoxicated.
And now, the dream is over.
Without the densely packed cities, without the intelligence that can arrange everything for them, and without all the convenient high-tech, they seemed to have suddenly returned to the primitive world.
Apart from this high-tech bio-capsule around them, they have nothing else related to their past lives.
“Is this the real world?”
A blonde woman bent down, picked up a set of clothes from the storage compartment that popped out of the bio-capsule, and put them on awkwardly. She pulled up weeds from the ground and held them in front of her eyes for observation.
She could see the dust on the grass stems, so she patted it clean and then put the weeds into her mouth.
When I close my teeth, I can feel the bitter juice spreading in my mouth.
"Pah, this thing can't be eaten."
The woman awkwardly dropped the half blade of grass in her hand and said something to the man next to her.
The latter did not answer.
He just looked at everything around him with a complex emotion, with a look that was both curious and greedy. He wanted to engrave this picture in his heart forever.
"This is the real world, and we are real individuals. The dream that lasted for five hundred years has ended, and we should start rebuilding our own civilization.
In this new world, we can build the beautiful memories of the past with our own hands.”
A man in shorts and shirtless bent down and pulled open a box full of tools from under the bio-capsule. He held an alloy axe and jumped onto the stone next to him.
He shouted loudly:
"People of Eden, I know you all still have a desire to explore the new world, but now is not the time to do such a thing. The fifty of us are the 'pioneers' carefully selected by the Central.
We must prove to the Central that we have the ability to survive on our own in this new world, and only then can we apply to start the real 'Apocalypse'.
In that dream, there are countless of our compatriots waiting to be awakened.
We are the explorers they sent!
Don't waste your time.
Men, follow me, we're going to cut wood.
The women went to pick fruits and look for fresh water in the woods.
Those who can hunt go hunting.
Remember to build a bonfire and wait for us to come back."
This energetic man looked back at the lush woods behind him. He was filled with excitement and a sense of mission given by history. His voice was a little out of tune.
He said:
"Let us begin, brothers and sisters. This is not a game of rebuilding civilization, this is real! A real destiny has arrived, and we should welcome it with both hands raised high.
Although we have nothing now, as long as we continue to explore, we will eventually turn the illusion in our dreams into a beautiful real future.
The revival of Eden’s civilization will begin with the first village we build in our new homeland.”
