Chapter 770: These employee benefits are much better than those of a certain black-hearted boss named Jiang
"The civilization of the multiverse is still in its expansion phase this season, and news of new universes being discovered in the void sea comes in every day. But not every universe is good enough to be included in the multiverse library.
There is a very strict identification and inclusion procedure.
However, those strange-shaped universes can provide us with some very strange samples as means and methods to study the secrets of the Sea of Void.
Your universe was once a numbered universe in the multiverse library, but after it entered its twilight years, it was determined to be beyond repair and was removed from the universe library. "
In Lao Jiang's room, the big boss of Raven was holding his beloved fat cat, smoothing its fur while chatting with Lao Jiang.
He said:
"Perhaps for other ancients , the process of a dying universe is not worth noting. After all, they have seen too much. But I am a 'newcomer', and I am very curious about the process of a dying universe.
Moreover, I have a 'friend' who wants to use your dying universe to complete her promotion.
To put it in terms that you are more familiar with, it is to use your cosmic practice to devour the avenue.
So, I'll give you this advice.
After your cosmic furnace is repaired, you take it back and place it in the place of your choice. With the help of the connection to the world tree in your body, I will transmit the force of my universe to it as fuel for you to ignite the cosmic furnace. "
At this point, he paused, glanced at Lao Jiang who was recording rapidly, and then continued:
"But after I ignited the furnace of my world, there was not much cosmic force left here. It was not enough for your universe to complete an epoch change.
In fact, your universe no longer has that ability.
The appearance of the Lord of the Wasteland means that the moment of its final destruction has arrived.
You must gather up the civilization you think is valuable and protect it before it finally collapses and returns to the void, and rely on the little light and heat emitted by the cosmic furnace to survive the collapse of the universe.
After the destruction of all things, you who have experienced the change of eras will be given a certain 'symbolism' at the cosmic level.
Relying on that symbolism, you will have the right to build a 'sanctuary' consisting of thousands of planets, a miniature new universe. After this process is completed, I will send the miniature universe you built into my sea of stars.
Such actions are not allowed.
But it has not been banned, which is equivalent to playing a gray area ball.
Do you have anything to say about this plan?
You can raise any opinions you want. I am a very democratic person. And you know that you cannot hide your thoughts in front of me.
I can totally listen.
But I hope you can speak it out without reservation.”
"I have three questions, Boss."
Lao Jiang hesitated for a moment, then he looked up at the pair of burning eyes in front of him and said:
"First, do you, such a powerful person, also need to be restrained? You keep saying things like "allowed" or "not allowed". Is there a more powerful manager than you in the multiverse?"
"Yes, quite a few."
The very graceful Raven patiently explained:
"For any large system to remain intact, order must exist. Although people like me have the ability to disrupt order within a certain range, most people rarely do so.
Not because there is a reward for following the rules.
It’s because following the rules won’t cause trouble that hurts others or yourself.
For example, with what I’m dealing with right now, some gods who were once banished to the Sea of Void are returning, and many multiverses are being threatened.
A counterattack at the multiverse level is underway.
And people like me are not even qualified to be the vanguard of the battle line. None of those who came down from the Wall of Origin are good people.
The cause of this trouble is that some bastards who are tired of living don't follow the rules.
Of course, conflicts are inevitable in any power that is still in its expansionary phase.
Conflict is not a bad thing.
Conflict breeds war, and war brings destruction as well as progress.
If a multiverse system is stagnant, it means that it is about to reach its end.
These things are still a little far away for you, but after you complete the establishment of the "sanctuary", you may also be able to participate in such high-level things.
Even if it's just a hand, it's enough to let you see the scenes you don't even want to imagine."
"Well, I'm starting to look forward to it. The big boss is worthy of being the big boss. His ability to draw cakes is first-rate."
Lao Jiang gave a thumbs up and waved to Raven.
The latter shrugged and did not object to this statement.
"As for the second question, Mr. Crow just revealed some secrets to me, and it made my scalp tingle."
Lao Jiang touched his wrist and asked Raven:
"He said that he, I, and you, are just stories..."
"Yes, that's right."
Raven admitted this statement very frankly, saying:
"Just as every world and every civilization has its own characteristics, at the cosmic level, every physical universe also has its own characteristics. My universe, including the universes of several of my other friends, has a common characteristic.
Our existence is to serve higher-dimensional life.
I call them 'Observers'. They are a very strange existence that comes from outside the wall of origin.
They enjoy searching for stories and will pay attention to certain people and things. Only some gifted guys can get their attention, and when you are paid attention to by them for a long time, you can get a lot of help that you don't realize.
Your story will continue until your end.
Don't worry about Shen Qiu's frustration about this matter.
He's just... how should I put it? His character isn't very likable and he's lost the favor of observers, but that doesn't mean he's a loser.
In fact, like you, he saved his world."
At this point, Raven spoke earnestly to Lao Jiang in the tone of an experienced person:
“You can certainly regard the attention of observers as an honor, but you don’t have to define your existence by this long-term attention. Without their cheers, your story will continue.
As long as you are willing to keep going, as long as you don't stop.
For us, it is a blessing to be favored by observers.
But it is not necessary.
After they lose interest in you, do you have to stop and give up your own story halfway? After all, this is your own life, and only you can control it.
The Dream God's library contains countless stories from countless worlds, including those with unfinished or abrupt endings. You can go there and take a look if you have nothing to do.
Look at all those people who have given up on themselves because they lost attention…
They could have achieved great things in their careers, but they chose to commit suicide due to the loss of attention. That is the most tragic thing, and it makes people sigh every time they read about it.
A story is written to be read by people, just as no matter how wonderful the performance is, it will be meaningless if there is no audience.
But as the protagonist of the story, you must have this belief when you are born, and you must also think about this question:
It is true that the Watchers are your source of strength.
But after you lose the power of attention, can you live your life without leaving any regrets?
If you don't figure this out, your future path will not be smooth.
Your story will eventually have an end, but after the end, you must continue to move forward until you are forgotten forever, and that will be the moment of your death.
As long as someone is still saying your name and reading your story, you are immortal."
The reminder and instruction from Raven made Lao Jiang nod.
He didn't quite understand some of what was said, but he decided to write it down and listen to it again when he encountered such a situation in the future.
This is the wisdom given by the raven, and it will definitely come in handy someday.
"The last question is about the Lord of the Wasteland."
Lao Jiang asked again:
“If that universe is destined to perish, then the Lord of the Wasteland, who plays the role of destruction, will be the last life to die. It must complete its mission and truly perish after all other lives have died.
If we build a shelter, if we survive the destruction, does it mean that the Lord of the Wasteland will also survive?
After all, it is a conceptual organism that is opposite to life."
"Perhaps."
The raven, who behaved very reliably, did not give a definite answer this time.
He said:
“As I said, this is also the first time I’ve observed the process of a physical universe’s demise. I can’t predict what will happen after its destruction.
If it is true as you said, that after the shelter is established, the Lord of the Wasteland will retain the power of destruction to coexist with you, I would be very surprised.
But that's not my problem.
That's your problem, you have to deal with it yourself."
The raven said in a confident tone:
"You are all just little kids. Do you still need me to change your diapers? You should know how to do your own things.
alright.
That’s all for tonight’s meeting.
Your name has been written into the employee roster of the Shadow Brotherhood, which means you have become an official member of our organization. Go ahead and do things with confidence.
If you die unfortunately, I will personally "pinch" you out again.
But you'd better not seek death on your own initiative.
I'm very busy now, so I might be impatient when making the character. It's not impossible that a few parts are missing. Maybe there will be a few extras, so you'll make a profit.
In addition, Shen Qiu has been a little overwhelmed because he has been transporting our fellow villagers who were lost in the Sea of Void and cleaning up their messes in their respective new worlds.
He made an interesting suggestion to me.
I am thinking about this matter. Perhaps in the future you two will be responsible for this work as an independent organization under the Brotherhood.
But that's for the future, I'm just giving you a heads up.
Now, go get some sleep, and then accept the Heart of the World from the Forgotten River tomorrow, and then go back to save the world."
After saying that, Raven stood up, looked at Lao Jiang again, and reached out to touch his forehead lightly.
"I'll give you the employee benefits, but don't say in private that I'm a black-hearted boss."
After saying this with a smile, the raven's figure turned into a red flying bird and disappeared into the silent night, while Lao Jiang, with a blank look in his eyes, covered his forehead.
He had a splitting headache at the moment, and felt like something was about to jump out of his spiritual sea of consciousness.
Finally, with a cry from the inner demon Xiao Jiang, the Luwu star sign that was sleeping soundly under the Seven Treasures Tree jumped out from Lao Jiang's sea of consciousness with a roar.
It fell to the ground, and its astrological body quickly materialized.
This was the thing that Raven gave him before he left. That guy used the power of creation of the Lord of Stars to forcibly create a physical entity out of Lao Jiang's illusory fate.
After just a few breaths, a red human-faced tiger with nine tails swaying, and with its mane swaying, pounced on Lao Jiang and knocked him to the ground.
Like a happy big cat, it kept running and spinning around him.
It's alive.
From a destiny that could only dominate in the sea of consciousness, he transformed into a real divine beast Luwu. This is much more impressive than any destiny or magical power.
The divine beasts of Ku Mu Realm had long since perished, but now, Lao Jiang had a genuine divine beast partner, and it was an absolutely pure-blooded one!
It would be so great to bring this back.
It’s worthy of being called a raven.
The boss's boss was so generous that Lao Jiang suddenly had the simple idea that he would definitely have a meal if he followed the boss of Raven.
"Well, I didn't feel that before, but now that you've transformed into a physical form, your human face looks a little scary. Come on, change into an ordinary tiger face. I know you can do it.
Change into one and let me see it."
The next morning, Lao Jiang rode his big tiger to Mr. Crow to show off, but he was severely ridiculed:
"Ah, employee benefits. I have them too."
Mr. Crow laughed and summoned his own mythical beast, which was an armored one-horned rhinoceros, with the auspicious signs of dragon and phoenix. Judging from its appearance alone, it was not inferior to Lao Jiang's mythical beast Luwu.
Mr. Crow patted his own jade-horned rhinoceros and explained proudly:
"This one of mine is Dou Mu Xie Zhenjun, the first star of the Northern Black Tortoise. He is also my destiny and connected to my mind. If we really fight, your big tiger will be easily knocked over by him.
It’s not that Luwu is not strong enough.
It's because you, the master, are not strong enough.
Walk, walk, walk, and take you to the heart of the world.
Hurry and finish this, then go back to your place to pick up my apprentice."
