In the blink of an eye, it¡¯s been four years again, and it¡¯s been five years since the last grassland war.
In the past five years, the Central Plains has put away its weapons and released its troops in the Nanshan Mountains. A large number of troops have been dispersed, and many laborers have returned to the fields, starting a new round of national construction. The people's lives have become extremely prosperous, and the environment has undergone tremendous changes. All of this is due to the guidance of the new Supreme Star Emperor-Lei Xiang.
Moreover, under the leadership of many top masters in the mainland, the powerful elite team began to march towards the dangerous no-man's land, killing those terrifying star beasts and star spirits along the way, not only gaining great wealth, but also Developed human territory.
And the most surprising thing is the changes in the entire north!
The first is the northwest.
As we all know, the northwest has been eroded by deserts, with depleted water sources and serious desertification, which has led to the shrinking of human living areas. However, under the leadership of Star Emperor Lei Xiang, he used the power of heaven to attract rivers and fertile land in the northwest. Coupled with the subsequent planting of a large number of trees by the people, the face of the northwest has undergone earth-shaking changes in just five years!
From the original bitter cold place, it has become a new oasis in the Central Plains!
This change has greatly increased people's confidence, and the policy of returning farmland to forests and returning livestock to forests promulgated by Emperor Lei Xiang has won the support of local people.
Therefore, the corresponding ¡°Driving away the desert, protecting my homeland¡± actions that were subsequently carried out in other places were successfully launched.
Of course, the tens of millions of foreign captives are indispensable for this.
In fact, the life of these foreign captives is not as miserable as many people imagine. Because now, under the decree of Emperor Lei Xiang, the Central Plains has stopped the uncontrolled development of mines on a large scale. Those who are qualified to develop mines must apply for mine development qualifications in accordance with the prescribed procedures. They cannot mine indiscriminately. But also pay attention to the protection of the environment.
In this way, although there are still a small number of people who secretly mine because they can't let go of their profits, this situation is extremely rare, and the entire Central Plains has a completely new look.
And the tens of millions of alien slaves have also been scattered to various places in the Central Plains. The main work in the past few years has been the construction of roads.
With the help of these foreign slaves, the Central Plains used five years to build a huge road hub that connected all the vassal states in the Central Plains. Of course, today's road hub is just the beginning. Smooth, strong and wide roads now only lead to a few large cities. But it is conceivable that with the implementation of this plan, transportation in the Central Plains will become more and more convenient and connections will become closer in the future.
On both sides of the road, where there is no farmland, there are big green trees.
These big trees have a name, they are called atonement trees.
It was planted by those alien races who built roads on one side and planted them on the other. Each tree represents the atonement of a foreign captive for the foreign invasion of the Central Plains.
And when each alien race has planted a hundred trees, and when all these trees survive and grow up, it will be the time when they have redeemed their sins and returned to freedom.
In this way, the enthusiasm of the foreign captives was mobilized, and the planting of trees turned the wilderness in many places in the Central Plains into oases.
In the past five years, millions of foreigners have gained freedom, and their achievements have made the Central Plains people accept them.
Because without these alien races, flat roads would not be built, rivers leading to the desert would not be dug, and new oases would not appear
And what¡¯s interesting is that in the past few years, a brand new profession has appeared on the mainland - elementalist.
The so-called elementalists are those "unemployed" adventurers. Some of them have been holding on to their wealth and are unwilling to work like ordinary people, digging canals, building roads, or exploring deserts. But they thought of a better way to make money.
Because it is not easy to turn the desert into fertile soil, because from an "elementary" point of view, among the sand in the desert, the power of the earth element has been exhausted, and the content of the water element is even rarer. To the point of being negligible. Without these two elements, how can green grass and trees grow in the desert?
Of course, this is the path pointed out by Star Emperor Lei Xiang. When Lei Xiang restores the desert with his super powerful star power, he not only wants to destroy the mutated power in the desert - what Lei Xiang calls "the mother planet of the earth" "Virus", and then we need to use the powerful power of water and earth to re-moisturize the earth, so that the barren desert can be transformed into a suitable place.??Fertile soil for plant growth.
Some people got inspiration from Lei Xiang Star Emperor. They purified the star power into a single element attribute and compressed it into crystals. Especially the strong men of the three elements of water, earth and wood took out this pure element. To sell, and Star Emperor Lei Xiang is even more willing to use the financial resources of various countries to purchase.
In this way, it can be said to be the best of both worlds.
These people have made money by selling elements, and they are still making money very steadily. They don't have to travel across mountains and ridges to find terrible star beasts like before, and they have to pay the price with their lives. After the countries in the Central Plains acquired so many huge elements, they Barren wastelands and even deserts can be developed faster and better, turning them into fertile soil suitable for plant growth.
And when an endless wasteland becomes suitable for the growth of plants, then it will become a paradise for human survival.
Regarding this change, Yu Lin, who still holds the title of military advisor next to Lei Xiang Star Emperor, commented that this is the prelude to a new era. From now on, the strength of the star power will no longer be a symbol of hegemony based on the level of force. . The energy of star power will be refined and classified, and it will contribute to all residents of the continent in a completely new way. "
And Ms. Moon Goddess, who has been famous for a long time and is now the oldest person on the continent and deeply respected by three generations of Star Emperors, pointed out that in the past, powerful people with powerful star power were regarded as gods by ordinary people because they Possessing powerful power, it can fight against star beasts, star spirits and even other enemies that harass humans. However, with the advent of the peaceful generals and the coming of a new era, these powerful men who are regarded as gods should take on new responsibilities. Power, powerful star power, is not a tool to make people feel superior, but a tool to benefit the continent. If a strong man in the future wants to be respected by the people of the mainland, it does not depend on how powerful you are, but on what you have done for the mainland with this power. "
In the past five years, under the various policies of Star Emperor Lei Xiang, the people of Xingyao Continent have deeply experienced the beneficial changes in their surroundings. Therefore, no one will say words such as "talking nonsense but not doing things firmly" due to Lei Xiang's age. Lei Xiang is just like his teacher, the former Ziwei Star Emperor, and Ri Yao who sacrificed for the peace of the Central Plains. Like the Star Emperor, he became a generation of holy kings praised by the people.
Countless people who have benefited greatly from it have spontaneously built longevity temples for Emperor Lei Xiang in their homes and ancestral halls, praying for his long life and good health.
However, even if there is a happy event, it is naturally not completely smooth sailing.
The most controversial thing in recent years is the six tall towers built in six places on the mainland, which are regarded by ordinary people as a waste of money and waste of people.
Of course, in the eyes of ordinary people, the culprits of these six towers are the local kings and officials of the vassal states. In fact, many people do not know Ouyang Hui's existence, which is also Ouyang Hui's strategy.
Under Ouyang Hui's control, the people in charge of these six towers were die-hard loyalists to the Empress Houtu. The advantage of this is that first of all, it makes the horrifying Empress Houtu unable to find fault, and secondly and more importantly, these people are actually regarded as scapegoats by Ouyang Hui from the beginning.
Because when Lei Xiang breaks through to the demigod realm and solves the problem of Empress Houtu, these people will be the first to be pulled out for surgery, thus quelling public anger!
So, how could Ouyang Hui be willing to arrange for her confidants to take on such a job that is destined to be settled by the queen?
The person responsible for these tasks now is a pig!
Once you are fattened up, you can kill with a knife!
¡°Well, of course, the real source of this plan is Shangguan Zuiyan of Tianhuixing.
This Shangguan Zuiyan was Ouyang Hui's handkerchief. Ouyang Hui and Lei Xiao surrendered to Lei Xiang, so she naturally followed. Over the years, she has often appeared in front of the world pretending to be Lei Xiang, but she did nothing wrong. No flaws.
Lei Xiang privately commented on the two wise men under him, who are both heavenly and earthly wise.
Lei Xiang said that the wisdom of earth and heaven are one bright and one dark, one positive and one strange. Yin and Yang complement each other and are invincible in the world. In fact, it is my son Fang and Chen Ping! "
Who is Zifang Chen Ping? No one is there, but looking at His Majesty Lei Xiang¡¯s expression, it doesn¡¯t seem like a curse word
At this time, what is the condition of Lei Xiang Star Emperor?
No one is there now. In fact, Lei Xiang is in the area of ????the desperate desert in the northwest. Now, this place is no longer what it used to be. The original desert has long since disappeared, replaced by an endless oasis where grass grows and warblers fly.
In fact, as early as three years ago, Lei Xiang had already reached the ninth level of Star Saint, reaching the level of the Sun Yao Star Emperor and the Ziwei Star Emperor.
At this time, Lei Xiang is just like the two Star Emperors back then, achieving the goal of not being stagnant in the realm of things!
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?In this realm, one person can travel all over the world with a single sword, thus abandoning the crystal-level divine Ziwei Emperor suit that he had worked hard to build before. But even so, Mr. Ji is already invincible in the world.
???????????? At the level of the Sun Emperor, if it weren¡¯t for Sirius being too terrifying, he wouldn¡¯t have needed that sun suit.
Originally, Lei Xiang inherited Mr. Ji's Ziwei Emperor Suit. After Sirius's counterattack before his death, the suit was automatically destroyed by the Savior. With Lei Xiang's position as Star Emperor and his current peak as a Star Craftsman, With technology, it is not difficult to create a crystal-grade divine set belonging to the mother planet of the earth.
But Lei Xiang refused.
Because of the powerful power shown in the battle between Sirius and the Sun God of War that day, Lei Xiang was deeply shocked.
Under the absolute power of a demigod-level expert, even a crystal-level divine suit cannot provide protection.
Since this is the case, it doesn¡¯t make much difference whether you need to equip it or not. With the shackles of equipment, people will become careless and rely too much on the power of equipment.
Not being stuck in things is easy to say, but how easy is it to do it?
Even though Lei Xiang is extremely talented, he also possesses the two main stars of the Earth and the Antarctic Eternal Life Star. Moreover, he has entered the secret room of the Big Dipper Palace before and read many of the experiences left by Mr. Ji. In Lei Xiao's words, today's Lei Xiang is the father and son of Zu Jian and Zu Long, the founders of the Changsheng Dynasty, and the three top geniuses in the mainland, King Wu Mu and Ji Lao four thousand years ago, not to mention his own The creation of Qiankun Xiaoyao Jue and the advanced Douzhuanxingjing magic skill can be said to have created a new chapter in mainland martial arts.
But even so, it took Lei Xiang two full years to rush from the eighth-level star saint to the ninth-level star saint.
"After reaching the ninth level of Star Saint, if it were before, Lei Xiang might not have the motivation to continue to progress.
But after watching the demigod-level battle between Sun Yao War God and Sirius, Lei Xiang was greatly touched and deeply touched. It's like there are mountains beyond the mountains, and there is a sky beyond the sky, creating another realm.
Having seen this realm with his own eyes, Lei Xiang will naturally no longer stagnate at the level of the Nine Star Saints like those strong men before, but will start to attack the realm of demigods.
However, there is one thing that Lei Xiang doesn't understand very well, because he who is now a ninth-level star saint naturally knows it. If he hadn't witnessed with his own eyes the battle between His Majesty Sun Yao and Sirius at the foot of Aquoda Mile Mountain, it would have revealed half of the truth to him. He would never be able to experience the god-level realm, and he would never be able to find a way to this realm.
In the past, many top experts, including the ancestor Ziwei Emperor, stopped at this level.
But that Empress Houtu is just like Mr. Ji, and is one of the four emperors. How can she reach the semi-god level?
This is very puzzling.
"However, Lei Xiang did not delve into it because individuals have their own predestined relationships. If that's the case, why are you still thinking so much? Instead of having this energy, it is better to focus on how to break through the demigod realm.
Those who can reach the ninth level of Star Saint have extremely strong willpower. As long as their minds move, they will no longer be disturbed by external demons.
So, Lei Xiang sat down in the desert of despair, now known as the "Oasis of Hope". Three years have passed in the blink of an eye.
In the past three years, countless tourists have passed by. Even not far from Leixiang, a new city has been established. Many surrounding places have been turned into farmland. Of course, those farmlands are all in designated planned areas. It did not destroy the newly growing forest around it.
However, Lei Xiang sat here as if he were a stone. He sat here for three years without eating or drinking. Countless people passed by him, but there was no one. There was actually a person sitting here? !
That¡¯s because Lei Xiang has now completely integrated with the entire earth. He is the star under his feet, and the star under his feet is him.
In the past three years, Lei Xiang has clearly felt that with the efforts of the entire Central Plains, except for the northernmost grasslands and some places in the ocean, the "viruses" that originally plagued the planet's "body" have disappeared on other continents. After being wiped out one by one, this planet with a lifespan of billions of years finally began to glow with life.
He also felt every move of the flowers, plants and trees around him, their growth, sprouting, blooming, fruiting, and then withering
All this is the way of heaven.
In the past three years, Lei Xiang has experienced this kind of heaven all the time, comprehending the most superficial but at the same time between heaven and earth.?It is also the most profound truth.
There are also changes in the stars in the sky, the invisible and immaterial power they project on the planet, but it can give life to stubborn stones and allow humans to transcend their limits
Finally, Lei Xiang opened his eyes, with a smile on his face.
He casually grabbed a handful of soil from his side, and he clearly felt the power contained in this soil, the power of the earth element, the power of the water element, the mineral power of the gold element, and the growth of the fire element. The power of the tree, as well as the power of wood contained in one of the seeds that is about to germinate.
The sun is high in the sky, and the sun is shining all over the earth. The entire earth enjoys the warmth and power of the sun.
Lei Xiang smiled faintly, and a faint light shone on his hand. In the ball of soil in his hand, a bud quickly squeezed through the soil and grew. The bud got bigger and bigger, as if it was a fast shot. A small flower appeared, and then the flower withered, and a tall green grass grew. The grass then began to turn yellow, and finally fell away, returning to the earth. Its body was dissolved by the earth, turning into pure elements, and nourishing it again. soil. And a seed breeds a new life, lurking in the soil, waiting to sprout and grow again
"From birth to death, from death to life, which came first, the chicken or the egg? Did the earth under my feet nurture and create me, or did I save this earth?" Lei Xiang pondered for a while and suddenly laughed. , stand up I live in this world, I am part of this world! Mother Earth has chosen me, and I am its spokesperson. A chicken lays an egg, and an egg lays a chicken. It has its own life and its own death. These are the rules of the world. Life and death correspond to yin and yang, yin and yang complement each other, and the five elements are unified, which is the ultimate principle of heaven and earth! "
"So, there are very few stars in this world that can give birth to life! I was born here, grew up here, and will still die here in the future and turn into a handful of spring mud. Everything is the way of heaven!"
"And I am the way of heaven!"
Following Lei Xiang's last words, the momentum in his body suddenly surged. For a moment, it seemed that the whole star was shaking, but no matter whether it was the house, the river, or even the oil bottle placed on the table, there was no shaking at all. , but everyone on this planet clearly feels this tremor!
People looked at each other in surprise, wondering if the tremor just now was an illusion or an earthquake?
But they were shocked. Everyone had the same expression, but there was no change in the surroundings. It was as if everyone had a dream in an instant and trembled in the dream.
That is the trembling of life, the trembling of realizing the power of heaven.
From this moment on, Lei Xiang finally broke through the shackles of the Nine Star Saints and entered a realm that ordinary people could not touch.
Although he is not God yet, he is already on the path of God!
A stick of incense was burned before, in Yicheng in the southwest of the mainland, Ouyang Hui and Lei Xiao were kneeling in the secret base of the Tianxing Business Association, facing the wrath of the Empress Houtu.
Empress Houtu has also heard about the changes on the mainland in the past five years. She was very surprised that the current Supreme Star Emperor Lei Xiang actually had two skills. He actually managed to compete with many powerful people in the mainland. The power of this has turned this planet that was already close to withered into full of life again!
As a result, Queen Houtu felt a little uneasy.
She suddenly began to hesitate, whether to follow the original plan and open the time channel to return to a certain point, or directly come forward to receive the results of this victory.
Compared with the two, although the former has greater benefits, because if she returns and there is no one in the world who can cultivate through star power except her and her cronies, then her status will be immortal forever, and she can Become the most immortal queen on this star. Her great achievements will far surpass those of the former empress Wu!
¡°However, this plan is not seamless, and the dangers involved are also great. After all, Noah told her that only the human soul can pass through the passage, and the body cannot travel through it. In other words, if you want to return, you must abandon your current physical body, reincarnate in the future, and practice cultivation again.
Queen Houtu has no objection to retraining, because in that case, it would be a good thing to be able to replace her body with a brand new one. After all, her current body is more than a thousand years old. Although the wisdom from the previous civilization has kept her body young, she can still feel that this body has gradually become a little old, making her no longer Satisfied.
And especially some of the hidden wounds left behind when she was besieged by the strong men of the Central Plains. Although she is now a demigod, some of the hidden wounds have not been completely eliminated.Apart from this, she was dissatisfied the most, so she longed for a brand new body!
However, the only thing that made her hesitate was that all of this was just a theoretical result drawn by Noah. Even though this theory might be 100% successful, abandoning the body and traveling with the soul did not sound very reliable. If it fails, wouldn¡¯t it be in vain? ! If this matter spreads, wouldn't it be a big joke? !
Therefore, the new situation in the mainland created by Lei Xiang now really makes her heart beat. If Lei Xiang really has the ability to bring this star back to life, wouldn't she not have to take risks?
As long as Lei Xiang is killed, she will be number one in the world, and no one can shake her position!
She can also become a peerless queen for eternity!
