In the end of the world, I become an immortal alone

As a single girl, it wasn't appropriate for Daoist Wang to put her in his room.

Men and women should keep a distance; this was Wang Jixuan's consistent principle.

Note: Being kissed doesn't count.

After weighing the options, Wang Jixuan could only move the folding chair from his room, wipe it down briefly, and then, muttering an apology, grab the girl by the neck, lift her up, and place her in the chair, letting her faint at the door for a while.

Just as Wang Jixuan started tidying up the room, Zheng Shiduo from downstairs strolled over with his hands behind his back.

The guy was stunned by the scene at the door, then gave Daoist Wang a 'wow' look.

Zheng Shiduo winked and said, "Little Zhengzheng, you're naughty."

"Neighbor, faints at the sight of blood, has nothing to do with me, don't spread rumors about me."

Wang Jixuan glared at Zheng Shiduo:

"Aren't you resting in the dormitory? What are you doing here? Don't you have to go underground to fight later?"

Zheng Shiduo spread his hands and shrugged: "Red Snake and Deep Sea, this couple team, have gone down, so I have to protect you and Wu Man here... Although I'm not entirely sure who is protecting who."

Wang Jixuan sighed: "Then it must be you protecting me; my injuries are not light."

"Come on!" Zheng Shiduo clapped his hands, "I'll make the bed for the big shot!"

"Stop! You stand there!"

Daoist Wang's voice suddenly rose a few degrees, glaring at Zheng Shiduo and scolding:

"Don't touch my sheets! I don't want to have to spend universal credit to change the bedding later!"

Zheng Shiduo twitched his nose, muttering with grievance: "This is sexism! I can actually be very virtuous too, you know."

"Don't force me to kick you in this beautiful scenery."

"Alright! Then you go ahead!"

Zheng Shiduo laughed and scurried away.

Wang Jixuan shook his head, once again worried about whether Zheng Shiduo would corrupt Wu Man.

However, Wu Man also had psychological trauma; leaving Wan Xiaoqi and Wu Man alone would easily make Wu Man uncomfortable. Wu Man was indeed more at ease with Zheng Shiduo.

Zheng Shiduo was a bit perverted, but he wouldn't be ambiguous when it came to serious matters.

In the military's eyes, Wu Man should be of great strategic significance.

To take a step back… Zheng Shiduo liked being passive… Okay, Daoist Wang said he really couldn't understand…

Glancing at the short-haired girl who was still unconscious in the chair, Wang Jixuan shook his head and continued his housework.

By the time he had finished tidying up, the girl had already woken up.

She hid at the door, only showing a pair of eyes, and called out in a slightly shrill voice, squeezed by tension: "Th-that…"

"Hmm?"

Daoist Wang, wearing sleeves, turned his head and smiled:

"It's nothing, no need to thank me."

"Thank you… I'll help you bring the chair in…"

"No need, no need, I'll do it myself," Wang Jixuan refused with a smile, "Since we're neighbors, please take care of me later."

"O-okay! Then I'll go back first, thank you! Sorry for the trouble!"

The girl said softly, turned around, and ran back to her dormitory.

Wang Jixuan soon heard two loud thuds, one was her slamming the door shut, and the other seemed to be her bumping into something.

Because the next door was a girl's residence, Wang Jixuan specifically had his spiritual sense bypass it to avoid spying on her privacy.

— Many young girls lived in this building; most of the nannies were female.

Wang Jixuan brought the folding chair back, cleaned it simply, closed the door, and prepared to meditate comfortably on the balcony.

The light here came from real natural sunlight, and later he could also appropriately draw some scorching sun energy to burn the demonic energy in his body.

Just as he had set up the place, the communicator gently vibrated.

Ling Tong sent a photo.

A group of researchers in white coats were gathered together discussing how to repair Ling Tong's mechanical arm;

Ling Tong was very relaxed at the moment. She let her waterfall-like black hair down, nestled obediently in a hanging basket, her unmade-up face was very delicate, a pair of slender and round long legs perfectly supported the shape of tight jeans, two slender bionic arms were holding a romance novel, and she was diligently studying with her head down.

Who took this photo?

[Ling Tong: Shh, I'm Sister Wan. A jade photo of my Tong Tong, please check it.]

Wang Jixuan almost laughed out loud.

[Wang Zheng: Team Leader Zhou is also in the group.]

[Ling Tong: Don't worry, Young Master Zhou is selectively blind… The commander is looking at me, I'll use some means to delete the record.]

[Zhou Zhengde: Family, who understands, suddenly got eight hundred degrees of myopia after entering prison and didn't have glasses!]

Wang Jixuan slid his finger, looking at the photo, slightly lost in thought.

He was thinking about whether or not to add the item of 'spouse' to the Red Dust Tempering of the Heart.

One hidden worry was that love tribulation was a disaster area for inner demons. So many talented predecessors in the cultivation world were trapped and unable to move forward because of love tribulation.

It was impossible for love to always be sweet and honeyed; there would be quarrels and disagreements, which would affect emotions.

Another difficulty was that he had to wait until the Golden Core stage before he could… cough, that kind of marital reality… He wasn't sure when he could reach the Golden Core stage in an environment with thin spiritual energy. Did he have to ask the girl for a pure spiritual love before that, for ten or eight years?

In their cultivation world, Daoist partners dating, confidants meeting, and red-faced confidantes getting close were often once every few years, suddenly no problem.

But in this world, under the pressure of precariousness, everyone was quite eager…

'Don't think wildly; who knows what will happen in the future.'

Let nature take its course, do not be intentional, do whatever you want without overstepping the boundaries, that is the essence of cultivating the heart.

Wang Daochang took a deep breath, silently recited the Tranquil Heart Incantation, and soon began to enter meditation.

He had to enter meditation now to heal the injuries to his soul.

…

Eight o'clock in the evening.

Wang Jixuan appeared in the unfinished building covered with blue tarpaulin.

The main structure of the building here had already been capped, and everything was cement-colored. On the second floor, Uncle Tai controlled the construction robots to open up several walls, creating a spacious workshop. Various instruments, equipment, and large furnaces had already been arranged here.

Two rows of Ling Tong's equipment boxes were placed in the corner.

When Wang Jixuan arrived here, Deep Sea, Zheng Shiduo, and Wu Man were playing video games, having a great time.

A figure who shouldn't have appeared here also appeared.

Oriental Zhenghong, the military commander of Fortress 76.

Under Uncle Tai's greeting, everyone sat around a barbecue grill, with skewers of blade beast meat that had been pre-skewered by machines placed next to them.

Wan Xiaoqi gave up the best barbecue spot and shouted excitedly: "Chef Wang is here!"

"Hahaha!" Uncle Tai laughed heartily, "I heard you were going to barbecue blade beasts! The commander even came over to taste it!"

"This thing is not easy to digest, everyone should not eat too much, Xiaoqi, prepare more vegetables."

Daoist Wang walked over with a smile, sat directly beside Oriental Zhenghong, without paying attention to any etiquette, and started to barbecue and dispel resentment skillfully.

Before long, the entire floor was filled with fragrance, and the few people ate with their mouths full of oil.

"It's so damn satisfying!"

Oriental Zhenghong ate grilled blade beast meat with a lot of emotion, and bit a piece of grilled blade beast meat fiercely.

"We humans can also retaliate! And in a physical sense!"

Deep Sea asked curiously: "What is the principle? Why have we tried so many times before and couldn't make blade beast meat into rations? It would explode, and eating it raw would also directly cause problems; animals would also go crazy."

Oriental Zhenghong added: "The Thirteenth Institute also did experiments with humans, and they also went crazy."

"It's very simple, it's… the power of the soul."

Daoist Wang tried to express it euphemistically:

"The reason why blade beasts are powerful is because they have a set of things that are different from everyone's technology, and technological weapons cannot completely cope with it."

"As for why they appear here, why they slaughter humans, and a series of other questions, I can't answer them… It just so happens that Deep Sea is here."

"Huh? Is there a problem?"

Deep Sea, who had been fighting for a day, perked up.

Wang Jixuan asked: "In the underground blade beast nest, is there a kind of crystal that glows?"

"Yes, a lot," Deep Sea said, "But these crystals don't have spiritual energy in them. They seem to be a special kind of ore. We also found that blade beasts consciously destroy these crystals when faced with danger to prevent us from seizing them."

Wang Jixuan asked: "Can you get me some? I want to study it."

"Okay, we'll try to mine it. This thing explodes when touched."

"Don't rush, this is for subsequent research."

Daoist Wang handed out a few pieces of grilled blade beast meat and grilled a few skewers of vegetables for himself.

He couldn't over-nourish himself now; he had to heal the injuries to his soul first.

"Commander, how is the battle situation on the outer front?"

"It's basically stable."

Oriental Zhenghong said simply:

"After the death of the young queen worm, most of the blade beast groups on the periphery have retreated. Everyone has achieved great results this time. If the commander-in-chief hadn't ordered that the territory could not be expanded at will, our defense line might have been pushed outward."

"In addition, all the details of the underground nest have been explored. We have not found any outward passages, but only found a path leading to the outer expansion C area mine that has been half blocked… So where did this young queen worm come from? This is the question we must figure out next."

Wang Daochang praised: "This commander-in-chief is truly insightful."

"That's right," Uncle Tai said with a smile, "The commander-in-chief is the most powerful human I have ever seen."

Oriental Zhenghong cleared his throat and took the opportunity to explain his purpose.

He said: "Wang Zheng, I know you may be quite busy, but I was wondering, if there is an opportunity later, could you secretly meet with the commander-in-chief?"

"I probably won't be able to go to the front line recently," Wang Jixuan replied quite cautiously.

He needed time to heal and cultivate.

Now that he had finally created such a carefree environment, he didn't want to actively disrupt it.

Dongfang Zhenghong immediately said, "It's okay, the Commander-in-Chief may secretly come here later. Zhengde has been praising you to the moon over there."

Uncle Tai glared and said, "Is there even a need to exaggerate? Those are just recitations of concrete battle achievements!"

Everyone smiled.

Wang Jixuan then said, "What I'm most worried about now is that the things I've taken out might be learned by Department Thirteen."

"That won't happen for the time being."

Dongfang Zhenghong said solemnly:

"If it were another war zone, this possibility would be very high."

"But in our D5… the Commander-in-Chief still has a complete team. This stems from long-term management."

"Just like me, the Commander-in-Chief has almost a thousand half-students, distributed throughout the D5 military system."

"Although Department Thirteen is trying its best to infiltrate, it is still hesitant when facing the Commander-in-Chief."

Shen Hai added from the side: "Theoretically speaking, the Commander-in-Chief and those few SS-level Spirit Energy Users must fight to the death. This Spirit Energy rebellion, launched against humanity fifty years ago, needs to be brought to a conclusion."

Zheng Shiduo sighed, "Humans are always fighting among themselves, no matter the era."

"This isn't actually human infighting."

Dongfang Zhenghong corrected:

"If you look at the overall situation, the main theme of the war has always been humans and Blade Beasts. Now, Spirit Energy Users have effectively become a third force based on the human world, and they are trying to control the remaining forces of humanity."

"In fact, those of us semi-old men responsible for commanding local battlefields often think about a question."

"If the City of Spirit Energy becomes the de facto capital of humanity, what will the Spirit Energy Users do?"

"I've always been confused, because I don't understand why they're trying to control every fortress, every human. If they succeed, what will they do next? They have indeed been pushing for the Fortress Home to override the Chief Executive, such as the previous Minister of Biology, Kong Nu."

"The Fortress Chief Executive is elected by universal representation. Although only the upper and middle cities vote, the Chief Executive not only manages the fortress but also represents the collective will of the fortress, participating in the joint executive councils of the war zone and the comprehensive war zone."

"The one in the Ancient Basin War Zone is called the Ancient Basin Joint Executive Council, and the one in the D5 Comprehensive War Zone is called the D5 Executive Representative Assembly."

"The former decides the allocation of resources in the region, while the latter decides whether the human front is on the offensive or defensive, whether the war zone enters an expansion or contraction cycle, and also allocates population, builds new fortresses as reserves or to expand the population, and so on."

"Although everyone usually comes into contact with these two levels of military command centers, this is because it is now a time of war, and all resources are given priority to the military."

"The Chief Executive himself, and the representative assembly formed by the Chief Executives, are the current form of human government."

"What the City of Spirit Energy wants to build, to put it bluntly, is a Spirit Energy Empire, where all humans listen to their dispatch."

Zheng Shiduo muttered, "What else could it be, the desire to rule all of humanity."

"This desire is actually accompanied by the enormous pressure from the Blade Beast side," Shen Hai shook his head. "Anyway, I think those SS-level Spirit Energy Users in the City of Spirit Energy have other plans."

Wang Jixuan said softly, "It's possible they're doing it for their own advancement."

The crowd looked puzzled, while Dongfang Zhenghong seemed thoughtful.

Wan Xiaoqi asked, "Advancement? Isn't the energy level of Spirit Energy Users fixed?"

"I can't be sure about that, but… can you answer a question for me? How old are the SS-level Spirit Energy Users? Did they look old when they last appeared?"

Zheng Shiduo immediately said, "They're at least ninety to one hundred and several decades old. Now that you mention it, it's true. Some of the SS-level Spirit Energy Users who have appeared in recent years don't look old at all. There are even one or two women who look like young girls. Everyone says they drank Blade Beast blood to maintain their youth."

This is bad.

Wang Daoren sighed inwardly.

As he expected, there must be high-level Spirit Energy Users who have initially mastered the use of Qi and have most likely embarked on their own path of cultivation…

He didn't know if there were any geniuses among them.

However, Wang Daoren certainly didn't dare to provoke them now. He was only in the middle stage of the Gathering Spirit Realm, and honest cultivation was the right path.

Uncle Tai wondered, "Why are you suddenly asking this? Teacher Wang…"

Just as Wang Jixuan was about to answer.

Woo— Woo—

A long and deep alarm sounded on Dongfang Zhenghong's wrist.

Dongfang Zhenghong immediately tapped his wrist twice.

"Commander! Air raid alert! A missile was launched from a position near Fortress 82, heading towards our unit! The estimated impact point is the desert area twenty-five kilometers northwest of Fortress 76!"

Dongfang Zhenghong's face turned ashen.

"Shoot it down."

"Yes!"
