Chapter 725: Suffocation
Ever since Hanhan defeated and brought back a dozen of his troublesome compatriots, Lao Jiang has been ignoring them.
There was no persuasion to surrender, no promises at all.
But Boss Jiang is certain that these guys will eventually serve him willingly and maintain the highest level of loyalty. His confidence is not groundless.
Although he did not expect that Hanhan's hometown would be beaten into such a weak state, the development of the matter was just as Boss Jiang had guessed.
In the process of opening the world passage to the Red Moon Realm and escorting the last remnants of this yellow sand world to migrate to the new world, a dozen independent cultivators, under the leadership of Hanhan, formally pledged allegiance to Lao Jiang's World Tree Consortium.
They will become the protectors and guides of these remnants, helping them gain a foothold in the Red Moon Realm.
This process is already very familiar to Helya.
The Baroness has a special department under her command that is responsible for receiving these remnants from various worlds and dividing up residential areas for them in new colonies and the cleared land of the old continent.
The Red Moon people were also very friendly towards these remnants.
They have also experienced doomsday disasters and have enough compassion and empathy to accept those who are equally miserable or even more miserable.
"You guys go to World M and find Senior Sister Luoyan to sign the employee contract."
Boss Jiang sat in the Zouwu car and said calmly to the dozen or so Ascendants in front of him:
"Don't go back to Kumu Territory anymore. The World Tree Consortium is about to start a major project to search for and assist similar civilizations, and the Eden fleet is ready to set off.
After you sign the employment contract, you will go directly to the Eden World for training and travel on board as the 'mysterious affairs consultant' of the expedition fleet.
Work hard and do your job well.
Your allowances and remuneration will be converted into supplies and delivered to your people.
Does anyone have any objection to this arrangement? "
No one answered, and no one expressed dissatisfaction.
They accepted Lao Jiang's instructions very respectfully. Although they did not understand the terms in Boss Jiang's words at all, this did not prevent these independent cultivators from setting new goals for themselves.
"Hanhan, take them there."
Lao Jiang said to Niu Sansheng:
"If I ask you and Sanbao to work now, I think you won't be able to concentrate. Just wait until your people are settled over there, and then come back to work."
"Um."
Hanhan did not refute. He just silently performed the courtesy of their , and then led a group of casual cultivators into the world passage to the Red Moon Realm.
The canyon surrounded by desert was soon emptied.
The disabled people followed the guidance of the "gods" and were going to live in a beautiful new world. They were like being led to heaven. They did not take anything from the canyon and were sent away from this world.
Elder Sanbao stood in front of the world passage. He was the last person to leave here.
Behind him, there are no more people from his hometown.
He looked at the vast yellow sand behind him, wondering how many heroes and geniuses had been buried in this land of death over the past thousand years. The elder squatted down and used a small gourd to fill some yellow sand from his hometown.
Just consider it as the final commemoration before leaving here forever.
They will never come back.
Lao Jiang stood at the edge of the desert and waved goodbye to Sanbao who walked into the passage. As the world passage dissipated, the whole world suddenly became quiet.
It's a very special experience.
When you know that you are the only one left in the world, you will be surrounded by terrible loneliness. You will go crazy and it is common for you to commit suicide because of the pressure.
But Lao Jiang is different.
He has seen too much.
Strolling through the last oasis of this dead world, he looked at the desert in all directions that was blocked outside the canyon. This was an unreasonable terrain.
It cannot form naturally.
All we can say is that some strange but weak power is still doing its best to protect the last bit of hope when the world is dead.
"You must be tired."
Boss Jiang walked to the center of the ruined city, stretched out his hand in front of a weathered stone tablet without any words on it, and talked to the last remaining heart of the world.
It can no longer be called the heart of the world.
It couldn't even form consciousness to respond to Lao Jiang's call.
What remains here is only the last remnant of the world consciousness after its death. But even if it is only a remnant, it is still trying hard to protect the last of the race.
"I am really surprised. You have accomplished something that many powerful World Hearts have failed to do. Even though you have long been dead, you still used your bones to build the last shelter for these remnants.
You are such a determined and great being."
Boss Jiang closed his eyes and said gently:
"But you should rest."
"Go, close your eyes, and enjoy the quiet sleep after death. Your story will be told by those people, and it will become a doomsday epic that exiles in countless worlds will recite to each other.
Don’t worry about never coming…
I will take responsibility for remembering you.
In some intense moment of emotion, I will tell your story to the people I meet in the future. You will live in our spirits until we die, until we become immortal. "
Boss Jiang hesitated.
He opened his eyes and said to the stone tablet in front of him:
"I'm sorry I'm late."
"Woo woo woo"
When Boss Jiang finished his apology, the entire yellow sand world was filled with the sound of sobbing wind, as if an invisible huge consciousness was crying helplessly.
Crying endlessly for the suffering he had endured, for his own death, and for his own despair.
A drop of rain slid down from the sky and fell on Jiang Xia's forehead.
Boss Jiang looked up and saw that in the vast desert world of yellow sand, the entire world's long-collapsed ecosystem was completely destroyed. With the last remaining strength, it turned into a rainstorm that submerged the oasis.
"Bang"
The stone tablet in front of Lao Jiang shattered and turned into wind-worn sand and gravel. When the torrential rain flooded the oasis and destroyed the city, the surrounding desert also began to roll.
They marched towards an oasis where there was no longer any shelter.
In just a few breaths, this last piece of living land was completely covered, representing the disappearance of the last hope of this world.
Only in a handful of moist soil in front of Jiang Xia's eyes, a small green vine broke out of the ground. After the rainstorm dissipated, it grew and spread all the way, and finally stopped beside Lao Jiang's hand.
On the vine, a small, delicate, yellow flower bloomed.
It no longer has the qualifications and strength to connect to the branches of the Seven Treasures Tree. It can only use its last bit of consciousness to shape this flower of doomsday.
The little flower swayed in the desert, waiting for Lao Jiang to pick it.
This is its last act of willfulness.
It longs to be remembered.
"How could I deny a strong little cutie like you?"
Boss Jiang chuckled.
He stretched out his hand and picked the small yellow flower from the vine with the most gentle gesture. The moment the flower left the vine, even the last bit of green on the vine quickly dried up and weathered.
Boss Jiang was standing in a desert.
He put the small yellow flower in his hand under his nose, gently sniffed the faint fragrance, and finally pinned it carefully on his collar as a new decoration for his harvest.
The next moment, Jiang Xia left this completely dead world.
No new leaves or flowers appeared on the Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree in the sea of consciousness. This was a failed exploration. Having witnessed the complete death of a world and collected the corpse of a world, Old Jiang was not in a good mood.
Therefore, when he released the remaining twelve spirit realms from the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect, his actions were a little "rough".
Taking the earth vein node under the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect as the source point, as the last spirit world was released by Lao Jiang, terrible things happened in this thousand-mile area.
Under the old immortal's astonished perception, the concentration of spiritual energy in this area began to drop rapidly.
Even the earth veins began to dry up.
For a powerful being like Chan Yi Xian Zun, the speed at which the spiritual energy was decreasing was shocking. He even felt a sense of difficulty breathing while staying here.
It's like being suffocated as if the air has been sucked out of it.
"You...what did you do?"
He turned around and looked at Jiang Xia who had come to his side using his teleportation ability, and asked loudly:
"When you took the spirit world from the Dragon Palace, you didn't cause any trouble like this! Did you do this on purpose?"
"I wasn't, my hand just slipped."
Lao Jiang rolled his eyes, touched the little yellow flower on his collar, and said:
"It's normal to make a mistake. Don't worry too much. As long as Lady Xixin is still here, the spiritual energy from other directions will fill the gap here. After a few days, the concentration of spiritual energy here will be restored.
At worst, don’t we still have the spiritual energy reserves of Tongtianfang? It should be enough for the monks to spend the last ten years happily, right? "
How could the Immortal Chan Yi believe Lao Jiang's clumsy words?
Your hand slipped?
What a joke!
"Are you demonstrating against me?"
"How dare I?"
Jiang Xia smiled and made a gesture of surrender. He said:
"I am just a small cultivator. How dare I protest against the head of Tao Fu Academy? I just... how should I put it? I just want you, old Immortal, to experience what they feel like."
Boss Jiang lowered his head, touched the small yellow flower on his collar, and said:
"It's hard, isn't it?"
"That feeling of suffocation, that feeling of having a rope around your neck, having your last breath squeezed out, being strangled bit by bit, and being powerless to do anything...
It must be very uncomfortable, right?
Maybe a little guilt.
After all, you tied the rope with your own hands.
I think being an executioner isn't a very good feeling.
What do you think?
"Chan Yi Xianzun."
"Haha, so you want to use this incident to talk to me about black and white, right and wrong, good and evil?"
In response to Lao Jiang's statement, Mo Chanyi sneered a few times.
He said:
"If you, Jiang Xia, are such a person who stands up for the weak, why would you chat with me about this? It's hard to tell whether this matter is right or wrong! If it weren't for me, Ku Mujing, suppressing the evil thoughts of the Lord of the Wasteland, they wouldn't even have a chance to survive."
"Hmm, so this is how you convince yourselves. Very clever rhetoric."
Boss Jiang nodded seriously and said:
“I’m going to write this down.
When I can’t sleep one day, I will take it out and read it...Okay, okay, it’s just a joke, Immortal Venerable, don’t be angry with a junior like me who is out of tune with me.”
Seeing that the cold-faced inspector possessed by Mo Chanyi looked stern, Boss Jiang waved his hand and his tone became more relaxed.
He said to the old immortal in front of him:
"Well, Tieshan is dead, the Myriad Beast Sect is gone, and what I boasted to the old Immortal Venerable has come true. You saw with your own eyes how I dealt with the Beast God.
I guess that little gadget scared you.
Haha, don't be afraid, I don't have many of those things, maybe a hundred or eighty."
Jiang Xia stretched his neck and said to the Chan Yi Immortal Venerable in front of him:
"So, I hope that you can talk to the big shots about what I said to the Immortal Venerable before. We can really cooperate, after all, we have the same goal.
Just bring me Yin Fu Gong’s head.
I will absolutely obey the leadership of the Immortal Alliance. If you tell me to go east, I will never go west. If you really can't make up your mind to deal with that old bastard, then I will do it myself.
I just hope you guys don't get in the way.
I mean…”
Boss Jiang raised his head and looked into Mo Chanyi's eyes. His tone suddenly became extremely cold:
“When I set foot in the Sad Valley, if there are still people from the Immortal Alliance there, and there are still fearless bastards who want to see my arrogant words, I will be happy to satisfy them.
This is the grudge between us and Yin Fu Gong. Everyone in the Immortal Alliance, just watch from the side. Don't get too close, lest the blood splashes on your face and scare you.
We are old now, so we should take good care of our health.
Oh, by the way, don’t forget to apologize to Empress Xixin for me.
My actions tonight were a bit rough, and I think it made her feel uncomfortable... If I have a chance in the future, I will make it up to her."
