Ordinary to weird huts, a compound that is not very spacious but enough for people to move around, and the big tree in the compound that has grown for decades but is still so tall, and the familiar... coffee table under the big tree.

"Finally back, my elders' house."

"is ours."

Lingxue on the side added.

"Yes, yes," Kong Huan nodded perfunctorily, and stepped into the courtyard ahead.

For him, the entire friend clan is his own. What's more, he usually lives alone in the elders' house, so it's not his own?
Of course, these things cannot be said, he still has to take care of everyone's emotions. (It’s strange for Kong Huan to know this (=.=))
Turning his head, Kong Huan nodded to Ren who was following behind him. After the dinner, when everyone asked about the choice of Ren and Lamia, what was unexpected was that they always seemed to admire Ti Rennes in Asia chose the House of Elders; while Lamia, who had resisted the gods before, chose the Court of God instead.

However, Lamia did not go to God's Court to be an righteous god, but to become the first priest under Goddess Tia as a regular [God Priest].

This situation surprised everyone (if there is a belt), especially Lamia, who thought she was in a dead end at the time, once said something like 'Goddess Tia imprisoned in a cage' in front of Lingxue, which made everyone It's hard to believe that she chose to follow Tia and enter the court of God.

Of course, since it was the other party's choice, no matter what the reason was, everyone thought after thinking for a while that the Youshen level, who had been reduced to the second level, should be the one when the Yinshen level had already begun to appear in the Pengzu. God priest, it seems that it is not impossible.

After all, it seems that the Shenting and the Elder's House now each have a Yin God level.

During the routine correspondence not long ago, Dark Blood also revealed that she felt that the Yin God level was not far away. This kind of reply that made everyone envious and jealous, but undoubtedly conveyed a message to everyone, that is—— It is entering the era of high-end strength Yinshen level.

As for Ren, another elder in the Far West, who admired Tia very much, he did not choose the same path as Lamia, but became an elder of a friend clan, which also made everyone feel weird.

However, like the other elders in the elders' house, he was only on temporary duty.

As the elder who takes over the Far West, Ren's main duty is to assist the Executive Yuan in reforming the existing three provinces in the Far West, so at this time, he who followed the empty illusion is just like a domestic cat who needs to know where he belongs. Come to the Elder's House to remember where your home is before you can embark on the road of wandering.

"Take a good look. This is our elders' house. As for those weird houses, just ignore them. They are all elders' spoofs."

Also ignoring Ren's black hair and Lingxue's warning eyes, he sat on the recliner next to the tea table in the courtyard and snorted comfortably.

"It's such a comfortable feeling to be home."

I don't know when, the feeling of empty fantasy for this elder's house has become a real home.

Was it the moment when the elders' house was built?
Or is it slowly formed after living for several years?
Or maybe it was pushed by 8051 that day... Ah no, was it pushed after 8051?
Kong Huan was like this, like an old man caught in memories of the past, and slowly quieted down. From the perspective of Lingxue and Ren, he seemed to be closed in his own world, completely ignoring the outside world, including the relationship with Ming. Prison Butterfly was playing a hunting game, and the Net Rabbit boldly jumping on his face did not arouse the slightest movement.

The naughty little rabbit kicked his legs, knowing that the Hell Butterfly was rushing over, so he jumped away reluctantly. For this, Kong Huan only twitched his eyelids.

"..."

"Come on, let's do our thing."

"Ah."

Lingxue, who knew this very well, just shook her head amusedly, turned around and nodded to the bewildered Ren, and began to familiarize herself with the way, guiding the elder and newcomer to understand the Central Plains region of the friend family step by step. Precautions for the elders to remember.

This kind of work, for Lingxue whose main job is to guide novice elders, already has a routine-like process.

Time passed by like this little by little. When Ren, under the guidance of Lingxue, used the earth and stones brought in by the engineering team to build a private cottage with a far western style for himself in the elders' home, his face was full of excitement. Kong Huan, who was leisurely sitting in the recliner of the elders' courtyard, had already fallen asleep.

The reason is that the gentle spiritual power that spreads, the two Youshen feel it clearly.

"I really envy Kong Huan's laid-back and indifferent character."

After sighing like this, Lingxue withdrew her gaze from the emptiness, then turned to look at Ren: "Of course, we can't have this kind of personality, let alone ordinary people."

"Eh, why?"

Regarding this kind of 'differential treatment', Renn looked at a loss and doubts.

On the other hand, Lingxue smiled mysteriously, and said softly: "Because, Kong Huan has worked for the Pengzu for hundreds of years, and he has the qualifications. And we, perhaps reach the same level as Chu Jie and Chu Xia, other If you don't do anything, if you can have a great effect on your friends by relying on strength alone, you can do that."

"But now, we are only at the Youshen level, so we need to continue to work hard."

Seeing Ren's still blank expression, Lingxue sighed.

(This kind of broad righteousness really doesn't have much effect on friends.)
After a pause, Lingxue murmured to herself: "Besides, even Chu Jie and Chu Xia, who are at the Yin God level, are both busy with their own work."

But seeing Ren's expression, she waved her hand again, signaling that Ren didn't need to care about it.

After recovering a calm smile, Lingxue thought for a while and said, "Actually, let's change the direction. First, we enter the Youshen level, and we can live for a long time. You also discovered this, right?"

Ren nodded, at least in his memory, after becoming a Youshen class, he had already noticed that his body was aging very slowly when he perceived his body.

And with the progress of energyization, he has a feeling that as long as his consciousness is not extinguished, he can live forever.

This made him very excited. After all, 'death' is something that any creature has to face and accept.

As the biggest irresistible factor, how to be able to resist has become the existence of almost all pursuits of life.

However, this does not seem to be a problem for the friends.

From the point of view of friends, death depends on everyone's understanding of death. If 'death' is only physical death, then people die every month in friends; but if it is a death of self-consciousness, then almost all members of friends eternal life.

Of course, these are only for the friends of the friend race, because even if it is a dead soul that can exist for a long time, the friend race has not seen it in the non-friend race.

Seeing Ren nodded, Lingxue said clearly: "In this case, you should also understand that 'immortality' represents a long life. From the moment we become immortal, our world has changed."

"So, with a long life, what are we going to do?"

Pointing to the world around her, Lingxue's tone was still calm, but it gave Ren a kind of nervousness about entering a new world, so that she didn't answer Lingxue's question.

"When our life is far beyond that of ordinary friends, at this time, we can no longer look at the world from the perspective of ordinary people."

Smiling slightly, Lingxue walked towards the coffee table where Kong Huan was, and continued talking.

"For example, a small insect that can only live for a few days may only care about 'whether it can pass on its genes in these few days'; while a net rabbit that can live for ten years cares about Not only the inheritance of genes, but also the richness of the things that are usually communicated with the same race, etc.; as for a friend who can live for more than 100 years, he cares more about pupae, life, knowledge... Countless."

"As the length of life continues to expand, we understand and care about more and more things. Correspondingly, our responsibilities are also increasing."

Pulling over the chair next to the tea table, Lingxue ignored the illusion of sleep, pointed to the opposite side and motioned for Ren to sit down, and continued to speak in a moderate voice.

"The responsibility of a small insect is to reproduce offspring; the responsibility of a net rabbit is to increase understanding of the world and educate future generations on the basis of reproduction; and a friend is to take care of family members, study, work, and fulfill dreams. Try to wait."

"And as us elders who are basically immortal, we care more and have greater responsibilities."

Hearing this, Ren had some understanding of the current situation.

Everyone is different about "what they care about", and of course he will not ask others what he cares about; and the responsibility, generally speaking, is proposed by a small number of people, and then more people will bear it thing.

"Then what is our responsibility?"

Smiling in satisfaction, Lingxue put the brewed hot tea in front of Ren, which was a habit passed down from the fantasy. Up to now, drinking tea as soon as she sat down has basically become the tradition of the elders' house.

"Responsibility, in fact, is very simple, but it is very broad."

"That is, to develop our race."

……

Ren sat in the elders' house for a long time. After Lingxue explained the rights and responsibilities of the elders, he learned about the overall situation of some friends, and then he left.Because at this time, there are still nearly [-] people in the newly built three provinces in the far west in the east, and he needs to coordinate the resettlement of these nearly [-] people.

These are also his responsibilities.

While the few of them were chatting in the elders' house, the people in the far west were also experiencing the customs of the Central Plains while moving to their new home along the open road of the Pengzu.

"From then on, we are all friends from the Central Plains."

Such a sentence of emotion, the faces of the Far West immigrants walking on the concrete road gradually revealed expressions of expectation.

"How will life develop in the future?"
