Chapter 71 Time Discount
  The information that came to mind made Ji Xiu feel unbelievable.

This was also the first time he received information feedback without initiating the sacrificial ceremony.

At this time, the information in his mind was still increasing, and he finally realized why his mother mentioned in her message to the challengers of the next era that human believers are the greatest help for growth.

Just look at the point of collecting wish power. Compared with trying your best to fulfill individual wishes, it is too slow to grow.

But with believers, the process of collecting vows does not need to be done personally at all.

Like the deceitful god behind the Thousand Faces Organization, he can gather power through the deceitful activities of his followers.

The same is true for him as the God of Willing Power.

Doing it yourself is time-consuming and labor-intensive, but the situation is completely different after having a large number of followers. Even if he is lying down, he can obtain huge income from his willpower.

Therefore, becoming the source of faith for a group of people is the correct way to open cheats.

There were 3000 million people in the entire Yu Jing Kingdom, but after he was promoted to high priest, the growth in the number of believers began to slow down after reaching 180 million.

This proves that people's belief in Yu Jing has not been as firm as it once was in recent years.

The same is true.

Amid internal and external troubles, the God Yu Jing who once protected the people has disappeared. There are even many voices among the people saying that the God Yu Jing does not exist at all. This is just a god fabricated by the Yu Jing Church in order to strengthen the rule of the theocratic system.

It can be seen that how to get the people to unite their faith again is also a problem that he needs to solve when he is the high priest.

After the prayer ceremony ended, Ji Xiu, supported by the clergy, walked up the steps to the prayer tower.

After returning to Yujing Temple, Ji Xiu went to Zuo Yi's study and took out a black stone with a purple mark from the drawer.

The name of this stone is the "Soul Seizing Stone". It is a source of divine pollution created by the God of Trickery using the power of trickery collected by believers. This stone can be used to contaminate the target's divinity and gradually control it.

It is said that the God of Trickery once used the soul-stealing stone to control many low-level primitive gods.

The prerequisite is that the opponent needs to be in an extremely weak state and the divinity can be used without defense. Otherwise, it will be easy for the opponent to discover and counterattack.

Zuo Yi used this stone to divinely contaminate the unconscious An An, causing An An to fall into a state of confusion where he could not distinguish between dreams and reality, and gradually deepened his control over An An.

He can use this soul-stealing stone to issue any order to An An through conscious dialogue.

But now, this stone has lost its meaning.

Holding the stone, Ji Xiu came to the courtyard where the ancient fear tree was planted in the temple.

After his consciousness connected with the ancient tree of fear, the ancient branches and leaves expanded, rolled up the soul-stealing stone in his hand, and then began to try to decompose it.

He saw thick blood mist overflowing from the ancient tree, and the purple mark on the surface of the Soul Seizing Stone turned into energy dust and was gradually peeled off. Finally, the entire stone turned into powder in his hands and fell from between his fingers.

From this moment on, An An was completely free from the control of the Soul Seizing Stone.

But whether he can regain consciousness is still unknown.

He only destroyed the Soul Seizing Stone, but the energy that the Soul Seizing Stone injected into An An's body was not eliminated.

This is equivalent to saying that he only destroyed the remote control, but the TV connected to the power source is still playing.

How to completely get An An out of his confused state is a problem he needs to solve in the future.

An An is a very important part of the envisioned future.

During the last discussion in the conference room, Ji Xiu and the members of the Shenyi Team discussed the construction of Yu Jing's future combat power system and the idea of ​​restoring the divine power with the members of the Shenyi Team.

Among them, the idea of ​​forming a faith army for everyone in the Divine Heritage Team was mentioned.

In the future, Yu Jing's military system will be completely overturned and reformed, and the combat power will be divided into seven legions.

They are the Divine Punishment Legion led by Lei Yan, the Death Legion led by Dingtian, the War Legion led by An An, the God Advent Legion led by Le Yi, the Famine Legion led by Satu, the Immortal Legion led by Daxing, and the Destruction led by Wu Mo. Legion.

The believer warriors will help the members of the Divine Heritage Team gather strength, and at the same time they will also receive the power of faith given by Lei Yan and others. This is a complementary growth model.

Now he has found the best medical team to treat An An, but the possibility of cure is not high and it will take time to develop an antidote.

In fact, there is another way to solve the problem, but this is not the choice Ji Xiu wants, let alone the solution everyone in the Shenyi Team wants.

That is to send An An to the underground palace of the saints, and the guardian of the divine heritage will reshape An An.

Making this choice means that An An's consciousness will completely die and a new An An will be born.

……

The next day, Ji Xiu came to the Prehistoric Research Institute in Starlight City.

Under the leadership of the current dean "Luo Yun", he came to the destination of his trip.

Pushing open the door, Ji Xiu saw a spacious conference hall with a very elegant layout. In the center was a huge circular conference table, surrounded by rows of seats, and directly in front of it was a huge LED display. , a blue warning flag is displayed in static mode.

The entire hall can accommodate 500 people for simultaneous meetings, and it is already full at this time.

Seeing his arrival, all the figures stood up in unison, made a fist with their right hand and placed it in the center of their chest, bowed their heads and saluted him.

Ji Xiu walked through the crowd and sat down at the main seat. His eyes scanned the name tags in front of different seats and the faces corresponding to the names.

"sit."

After his words fell, the blue alarm flag on the LED screen behind him disappeared, and the title of this parliament popped up.

[First session: Yujing Future Civilization Technology Development Selection Conference. 】

This is exactly the future direction he wants to discuss by convening senior officials from prehistoric research institutes in major cities.

After Zuo Yi leaves, Yu Jingguo under his leadership will usher in new development opportunities.

The most important of these is the choice of civilization technology.

Which civilization technology should be the core of future development is the theme of this meeting.

The senior officials of the Prehistoric Research Institute who participated in the meeting were divided into five areas in the conference hall.

They are the senior executives of the Prehistoric Research Institute of Starlight City and Sea of ​​Fog City, which represent technological civilization, the senior executives of the Prehistoric Research Institute of Mechanical Crown City, who represent the alchemy and mechanical civilization, the senior executives of the Prehistoric Research Institute of Northern City, who represent the Elemental Resonance Civilization, and the senior executives of the Prehistoric Research Institute of Life Weaving Civilization. Senior executive of Kuiwucheng Institute of Prehistory.

They are all leaders in the research of their respective civilization technology systems and will also provide him with reference opinions at this meeting.

Although Ji Xiu has decision-making power in this regard, he also needs to listen to the opinions of senior leaders of each research institute to make judgments.

The first topic of the meeting was to discuss the pilot results of the four major civilization technologies in the five major cities, and how each technology can help the development of Yujing at this stage.

The order of speeches starts from the time of city construction.

The first person to speak was Luo Yun, the current director of the Institute of Prehistoric Research in Starlight City. He is over fifty years old and has thinning hair, but it is combed meticulously. His silver-gray hair hangs down in front of his forehead. He is wearing a dark blue shirt. He looks... Very low-key and steady.

I saw him reaching out and picking up the information related to scientific and technological civilization that he had prepared in advance, and then began to describe the characteristics of scientific and technological civilization technology, as well as the results of the pilot projects in Starlight City and Fog Sea City in recent years.

After he finished speaking, representatives from Kuiwu City, Beijing City, and Mechanical Guan City spoke in turn.

Since the technology used in Wuhai City and Starlight City come from the same technological civilization, Luo Yun has already spoken on behalf of it, so it did not appear on the stage.

During this process, Ji Xiu opened his notebook and recorded in detail the key points of civilization and technology described by representatives from all parties.

The understanding of the four civilizational technologies has gradually deepened through the narrations of all parties.

The meeting continued into the evening. Ji Xiu asked everyone at the meeting to disperse to eat, while he sat alone in the chairman's seat and thought about the contents of the meeting.

All four technologies are in their infancy, and initial results do not represent future development potential.

Judging from the current stage alone, scientific and technological civilization has been the most obvious help to Yu Jingguo.

Efficient urban transportation system, intelligent and convenient life, efficient energy utilization and management... There are also a series of advantages such as medical convenience and information transmission convenience.

Scientific and technological civilization is also the key to establishing close connections between the five major cities.

Thinking of this, Ji Xiu circled several advantages in his notebook with a pen.

After thinking for a long time, he looked behind him at the deserted place:
  "Leyi, what do you think?"

At this moment, a purple mist appeared in the deserted place, as if a transparent page had been torn open, and Leyi was seen holding a watermelon in his hand and devouring it with big mouthfuls, revealing his figure:
  "How do I watch? Of course I stand and watch. There is no seat for me here."

Le Yi took a bite of watermelon and said with a shocked expression.

Ji Xiu:......

"Forget it, you don't understand." "I've only been in school for five years. It's strange that I understand. As a high priest, this is something you should consider. A scumbag like me can just listen to your decisions."

As he spoke, Leyi opened his mouth and spat out melon seeds on the ground. Then he seemed to realize that this was wrong. He stretched out his hand to wrap the melon seeds on the ground with purple mist and followed his body to become invisible again.

The second session of the meeting is at 8 p.m.

After everyone arrived, Luo Yun, who presided over the meeting, announced the discussion topic of the second meeting.

Among the four civilizations officially put into pilot trials, which one will be most helpful in improving Yu Jingguo’s combat power.

The topic of this discussion was very exciting, and all participants in the meeting were able to express their own opinions, which also led to disputes quickly arising during the meeting.

The scientific and technological civilization faction represented by Luo Yun stated that the advantages of scientific and technological civilization have irreplaceable advantages for Yu Jingguo at this stage compared with the other three civilization technologies.

Among them, high-efficiency command and control systems are highlighted, including technological advantages such as big data and cloud computing, followed by precise strike efficiency and powerful, destructive large-scale strike weapons.

In the process of expressing his views, Luo Yun gave examples of three battles in the open sea to prove the advantages of scientific and technological civilization from various angles.

However, this view has been refuted by the elemental resonance faction, which believes that although the role of elemental resonance in the early stage cannot be compared with that of technological civilization, the advantages of elemental resonance are by no means comparable to that of technological civilization in the later stage, especially in terms of combat effectiveness.

Especially the elemental disaster ability allows Yu Jingguo to easily destroy an alien nation thousands of miles away.

At this time, members of the faction representing the alchemical civilization also expressed their opposition, saying that although the alchemical civilization does not have the ultra-long-range strike capabilities of the technological civilization and the elemental resonance civilization, victory or defeat in this world is not determined by the large strike range. The alchemist in the concept The legion has a series of advantages such as magic immunity, amplification, and defense. In the Shura battlefield where thousands of races are located in the outer sea, the alchemy legion created by the alchemy civilization can adapt to the battlefield in various environments and is not afraid of any challenges from foreign races.

Even in the bombardment of elemental and technological weapons, it can still stand firm and steadily advance to victory.

As soon as the participants representing the alchemy faction finished expressing their thoughts, members of the faction representing the life-preparation civilization slapped the table and stood up, saying that your views are all wrong.

The construction of military force needs to start from the foundation, and what Yujing civilization lacks most now is resources.

However, the life-weaving civilization is the only civilization technology among the four pilot civilizations that can mass-produce spiritual resources, such as creating spiritual fields, planting spiritual trees, etc.

Therefore, from a future perspective, farming first is the best option. As long as there are enough resources, an invincible plant army can be created in the later stages of the Life Weaving Civilization. This is the most correct choice for Yu Jing's future.

The opinions of all parties clashed during the meeting.

Ji Xiu silently took notes without expressing any opinions.

He is a complete layman in this regard. Everyone here has studied in their respective fields for decades and has more say than him.

The debate continued until early in the morning. Ji Xiu chose to end the meeting at this time and asked each research institute to send a summary of the advantages and disadvantages of the studied civilization from the perspective of combat power building to the Yujing Church headquarters within three months. Civilization The choice of technology is tentative.

Ji Xiu didn't feel that he could find the most suitable civilization technology from just one meeting.

A detailed understanding of the advantages and disadvantages of each civilization was the key to holding this meeting. Specific choices should be made after sufficient understanding.

Compared with Zuo Yi, he doesn't have so much pressure in making choices.

Even if you make a wrong choice, you can correct it after time restarts.

But if possible, he also wants to make the best choice.

The greatest advantage that the time restart ability gives him is not only the ability to start over, but also the ability to become an expert in various fields through continuous learning.

This meeting was also a learning and growth process for him.

……

At the end of the day's meeting, Ji Xiu returned to Yujing Temple and began to practice.

Three months later.

The civilization technology research sheets sent by the five major cities were sent to his study. They were stacked up to more than three meters high, which gave Ji Xiu a headache.

It can be seen that the core members of the prehistoric research institutes in each city want the civilization technology they study to become the mainstream research project of Yu Jingguo in the future, and they are fully prepared for this.

Now that he decided to lead Yu Jing to rise, although Ji Xiu found it troublesome, he still chose to calm down and look through the civilization technology analysis tables sent by various prehistoric research institutes to deepen his understanding of the four major civilization technologies on trial.

In three days, Ji Xiu only read one-third of the content.

Among them, the one that surprised him the most was the alchemical civilization.

This civilization technology was originally the worst choice in his eyes, because compared with other civilization technologies, the shortcomings of the alchemy civilization are clear at a glance.

The last time he went to Mechanical Crown City, he discovered that the alchemy civilization technology was seriously polluted.

Towering chimneys spew black mist, almost covering the entire city, and people can only live underground to avoid being polluted.

The alchemy civilization will emit a large amount of alchemical pollution during the processing and production process. The scorched land outside Mechanical Crown City is caused by severe pollution. Developing this technology is simply cutting oneself in the head. As for the lethality of the enemy, he has not yet determined See.

But in the summary of the pros and cons of alchemy technology sent by Mechanical Crown City this time, he saw a major advantage of alchemy technology.

That is, the utilization of resources is very efficient.

This includes the use of non-spiritual resources, making them have a value comparable to low-level spiritual resources.

What Yu Jingguo lacks most now is spiritual resources. If he wants to expand his output, there is no other way to obtain them other than plundering from abroad.

Compared with other civilization technologies, alchemical civilization technology has obvious advantages in the initial stage, and the combat effectiveness of alchemical civilization is not weak, and it can give combat legions strong continuous combat capabilities.

Among the four major civilization technologies at this stage, the weakest one is technological civilization.

The lethality of modern weapons is not weak, but the aliens in the outer sea generally have the physical strength to withstand bullets and missiles, and the lethality they can cause to them is very limited, especially when facing the original gods, the lethality of such weapons It's no different than scratching an itch.

Not to mention those powerful foreign races outside the sea, even the Saints group has many members who can physically withstand bullets and missile attacks.

The envisioned technological civilization does have a lot of world-destroying weapons in the middle and later stages of its development, but at this stage its help in building combat power is very limited.

But alchemical civilization is different. Alchemical civilization technology can give ordinary people who have not activated extraordinary abilities the ability to defeat bullets and missiles.

Each enchantment brand is an ability enhancement.

After being branded with steel, divine power, elemental resistance, and a series of enchantments, ordinary people can directly join the battlefield and become a being comparable to a person with extraordinary abilities.

In addition to strengthening individual strength, alchemical civilization can also give ordinary weapons powerful lethality.

Including very ordinary swords, with the enchantment of alchemy technology, they can have the power to cut iron like clay.

The effects of enchanted weapons can even be used on bullets and missiles produced by technological civilization, providing assistance in various fields.

In contrast, in Ji Xiu's eyes, the most disadvantageous choice in the early stage was the life-weaving civilization technology that seemed to be growing steadily.

The advantage of this civilizational technology is that it can produce spiritual resources.

But the shortcomings are also very obvious. The early development model is farming, ripening spiritual resources, and speeding up the production time and output of various spiritual materials.

But in Ji Xiu's view, the farming development model is too slow, and there is no way to build combat power to plunder the outer seas quickly.

The same principle that my neighbor hoards food and I hoard guns applies to in this world.

Empty resources that cannot be converted into effective combat power in a timely manner are a complete waste of development time, and one of Yu Jingguo's development dilemmas is that there is not enough time.

……

A month later, Ji Xiu was still in the study looking through the subsequent documents sent by prehistoric research institutes in various cities.

After four months of understanding, he already had a preliminary idea of ​​​​choosing in his heart.

But before making a decision, he plans to hold another high-level seminar at the Institute of Prehistory to put forward his own views for the senior leaders of major research institutes to comment and see if there are any unconsidered problems in his views.

At this moment, the space next to the desk was distorted.

Xiang Ming, wearing a smiling mask, appeared next to him:
  "High Priest, the situation is not good."

"What's wrong? The Thousand Faces Organization is causing trouble again?" Ji Xiu turned to Xiang Ming and asked with a puzzled expression.

A tearful expression appeared on the smiley mask:
  "The high wall... the high wall seems to be falling down."

Hearing these words, Ji Xiu took a deep breath and dropped the pen in his hand on the table.

It has only been a year since Zuoyi guarded the high wall. Why is the high wall about to collapse?

It was agreed that Yu Jing would continue for another hundred years in the future.

The discounts at this time are too much. Isn’t this bullying an honest person?

Looking down at the future planning notes placed in front of his desk, he suddenly felt ridiculous. This was a big joke.
