Shepherding Humanity (Nurturing Humanity)

This little bird was lying on Xu Zhi's hand with a face full of nostalgia, with a happy face, feeling back to the warm embrace when it was first born.

"It's so difficult, the ninth order is really difficult."

Phoenix couldn't help crawling on Xu Zhi's palm, and excitedly said something he had never told anyone before, "I have seen that realm, but it's just too difficult, it's really ten thousand, one hundred thousand, no , even a million gods may not have one who can reach that terrifying realm!"

Before Phoenix died, he had already obtained a lot of gains and breakthroughs.

Xu Zhi sighed for a moment, did not speak, just listened silently, and gently stroked its cute little head.

woo~~

She whimpered with satisfaction like a puppy, and continued to rub against Xu Zhi's palm, showing a soft and cute look, "Ninth rank, it is already scary, above the ninth rank, is there any realm? Tenth rank? Dare to imagine, can I really chase the end of the truth?"

Xu Zhi still gently stroked the bird's back.

With a look of longing, Fenghuang leaned against Xu Zhi's palm, looked up, and said eagerly, "Eighth order? Ninth order? Tenth order? What is the end, and when can you truly go to the end where you are? , with you really?"

"You can." Xu Zhi smiled.

Phoenix didn't speak, his face full of nostalgia, lying on Xu Zhi's hand, Xu Zhi didn't rush to say anything.

Neither Phoenix nor Medusa likes themselves.

Instead, he likes "Tao" and pursues "Truth". As the creator god incarnate of the truth and the Tao, he is the ultimate goal pursued by countless strong people.

And Mengmei is more special and different.

Not the usual way at all.

She is not greedy for the Dao, the truth, she is really just greedy for herself!

But if you say who you are most optimistic about and admire in the entire sand table, it is undoubtedly Phoenix.

Phoenix spent his whole life seeking the Tao only with one mind and no distractions.

And worry-free, never cause trouble for himself, his realm is fast, and he constantly retreats to deduce realm for himself. He is simply the best ideal Zerg hero.

Even on the ninth-order road, she is the deepest.

What is the ninth order?

Xu Zhi had already obtained the answer from Phoenix, because the way Phoenix was groping on the ninth order at this time completely made Xu Zhi understand the mystery of this realm.

The core feature of the ninth order is the unity of soul and flesh.

One's own spiritual soul is perfectly controlled and perfectly integrated. Among its 100 trillion cells, there is no separation of the soul and body, and the soul and the flesh are integrated. The immortality of this state is terrifying, even if only one cell is left, it can Rebirth from a drop of blood, restoring the soul and body.

It's that kind of.

"Across the Universe"

"The existence of lifespan calculated in ten thousand years"

"No amount of eighth-order gods are like a nest of ants"

eternal and ancient existence.

To kill this "immortal existence", in addition to being completely wiped out, perhaps only a special soul impact method can be used to wipe out the soul in every cell.

And the breakthrough of the ninth order can really be compared to a road, completely controlling the cells of the body, just like a general, with a split soul, who wants to completely dominate the one hundred trillion cell soldiers all over the body.

Don't think it's easy.

One hundred trillion, what is this concept?

This number is too huge. For ordinary people, it is really just a series of numbers, and it feels similar to 100 million.

Compare first:

There are seven billion people on earth.

For example, you have to completely control the movements of every human being in a population of seven billion, use them as puppets, and let them eat and drink, what, you say this is difficult?

Is it just seven billion, one hundred trillion of the earth? There are about 15,000 parallel universe Earths!

Well, the difficulty of controlling cells naturally cannot be compared with the difficulty of 'spiritually controlling' humans and controlling other alien beings. Their own cells will not resist, and it is naturally very easy to control.

But this huge number has proved the terrifying difficulty. The number of human beings on the earth of 15,000 is an unimaginable subtle and huge soul manipulation power.

This is a spiritual realm of "transforming the gods" and "forging the gods".

Therefore, the further back you go, the less likely it is to fight by leaps and bounds.

It's like Medusa is strong in the realm of Heavenly Emperor, and some of her bodies have broken through the eighth-order gods to fight against the eighth-order gods. At this time, she is already an alternative and powerful eighth-order gods.

Now, it is probably understood that the eighth-order and ninth-order are two species, and this is the real ninth-order cosmic life.

In this ninth-order road, the length of each species is different.

A normal superhuman being is a hundred trillion cells the length of the road.

The phoenix is ​​one hundred and thirty trillion cells the length of the road.

And this road, before she died, had already walked 30%, as a general controlled by more than 40 trillion cells, it was enough to prove her genius.

"It's just that she's still dead now"

Xu Zhi frowned, feeling that while Phoenix was working hard, he kept thinking,

"From another point of view, it is enough to prove the terrifying difficulty of the ninth order. If you don't consider the rebirth of the phoenix, it is now equivalent to a god who is extremely talented, does not ask about foreign objects, and seeks Taoism in seclusion with a lifespan of 8,000 years. After coming down, I only completed the 30% progress of the ninth-order transformation, and then I died of old age!"

This is an almost impossible goal for an eighth-order god!

The further back the realm, the more terrifying.

Even Xu Zhi couldn't help being horrified.

Is this really an eighth-order god, a realm that can break through?

"I'm afraid that conventional means can't break through at all. It's terrible, and the difficulty is unbelievably high! It's as strong as a phoenix, and it can only complete 30% of the way. Ordinary gods, walking 10% to 20% on this road is basically cold. already."

Xu Zhi frowned, and at this moment, he was completely aware of the development of the situation, "Perhaps the ninth order in the universe, the last generation of Zerg queens, and other civilizations did not force a breakthrough in this hard-core way. Special alternative shortcuts and methods?"

"Ninth order."

Xu Zhi closed his eyes.

After a while, he couldn't figure it out either, so he could only shake his head.

After all, Caroline, Phoenix, and even Di Qi have all deduced this path by coincidence, which means that they have no other choice than this path.

They can't find a new way, and they are stronger than their knowledge and talent?

Not so.

"If it is said that the eighth-order gods are still somewhat normal, the ninth-order is somewhat dreamy and beyond the natural realm of latitude for my path of deducing the sand table. It is no wonder that supernatural rules such as law phenomena can be used."

"Anyway, Phoenix's lifespan is infinite, and in the next life, she will definitely break through if she keeps walking. When she controls the cells in her body, she is a weak ninth order. In theory, it is not a real ninth order.

Because it is only a double qualitative transformation of one's own body and spirit, and it does not absorb the energy of the outside world. It absorbs a huge amount of energy like a sponge, and it can completely become a ninth-order complete body. "

Every realm is a qualitative change of energy, and a huge amount of energy is a necessary condition for breaking through the realm.

Just like many of the previous seventh-order gods, Ermin, Dao Changsheng, and Di Qi have all been able to break through the eighth-order gods, but the energy absorption is not enough, so they have been stuck, and they need to slaughter all living beings to collect.

The energy that breaks through the ninth order is naturally more huge, and there are also problems in this regard.

"However, the ninth order is not killing people. It is as simple as taking enough energy to break through. It is to become a weak ninth order and completely transform into that kind of life before collecting."

Xu Zhi's face was calm, and he gently stroked the young bird in his hand,

Phoenix felt at ease enjoying the touch of the God of Creation, and suddenly hoped to stay like that forever.

However after a while.

"Everything in the world has its own balance," Xu Zhi suddenly said, "Phoenix, you have been ordered to come to the ancient world and open up the world. The destiny of this life has been completed, and the great road of heaven and earth will naturally bring grace."

Phoenix's clear eyes widened with anticipation, "Great God of Truth."

Xu Zhi stretched out his hand a little.

"Time has the power to change everything. Go!"

wow.

Phoenix only felt that his time was accelerating, and he was rapidly approaching adulthood. He got on the train called time, and everything around him turned into an illusion and flew away.

"I?"

She opened her eyes wide, and felt that her body was undergoing inexplicable changes, and she suddenly felt a sense of happiness in her heart. She knew that this was a huge opportunity from the great power of the world.

"Everything is up to you to fight for yourself."

Xu Zhi laughed and looked at the fast-moving Phoenix.

She is only a sixth-order life, and she is rapidly approaching adulthood without cultivating at this time. Her lifespan is only a few hundred years. There have been visible changes in her body.

Whoa!

A phoenix egg with a hazy lingering flame, re-circulated, lying quietly in the palm of your hand.

Xu Zhi no longer hesitated, stood up, and came to an oven near the refrigerator.

The oven is white and transparent, with a delicate ceramic feel.

In the whole room, a lot of furniture was created and transformed by Xu Zhi and turned into this kind of high-density material of the whole family. After all, ordinary things are as brittle as a piece of paper.

And the oven of the whole family of cells was fully prepared before Phoenix came.

hum!

Xu Zhi picked up a huge white, delicate and smooth square porcelain pot, and put in the treasures of the world, as well as a large amount of water.

This square porcelain basin full of ichor just fits into a square oven.

Whoa!

The oven heats directly.

"The husband does not fight, so the world can't fight with him."

"If you don't fight, you are indifferent, then I will fight for a huge opportunity for you."

Xu Zhi looked at the phoenix eggs soaked in the various heaven and earth treasures in the oven, and his face became heavy.

"Actually, my idea of ​​returning Medusa to the place of origin and reshaping his body came from the original plan for you. My original intention was to think that you were born in the oven, and now you are back again, after hundreds of thousands of evolutions. , there should be a good chance again, right?

Although because it is a single life, it has basically been fixed, and the benefits are not as huge as Medusa's, but there will still be good results. "

"I've spent a lot of time soaking you up, don't let me down on you."

Xu Zhi stared at the oven for a while, and felt a little distressed when he saw the spiritual liquid inside.

In just one hour, the phoenix continued to grow, age, re-turned into an egg, and emerged from its shell, as if a cute young bird broke through the egg's shell for the first time and looked at the whole new world.

She was also extremely excited.

It's a huge opportunity to feel like you're wandering in a warm ocean, adjusting your body structure, which will be a "long" life journey of hundreds of thousands of years.

In this space, Phoenix felt the familiar taste again, the exact same scene, as if recalling the first moment,

"Here, is the real mother's embrace?"

"A boxy space, this is alive!"

"These white walls are cells."

"Living creature, I am inside a living creature!"

She was full of surprise. The young bird broke through the eggshell and looked at the white square world, feeling that it was a bigger eggshell, thinking it was incredible,

This is an unimaginable adventure.

The world is too huge, full of unknowns and mysteries. Even if she is on the road to the ninth order, she doesn't know many mysterious things.

"Wait, it's not, this is, this is! A hard shell composed of white cells!!?" She was completely stunned, and a terrifying thought broke out in her mind, "This is an eggshell! A square Eggs? At this time, the heat is constantly heating, is there an unknown ancient existence, hatching eggs outside?"

"Could it be that it is the God of Creation, who is out there for me."

"Is this how I was born?"

"I went back to the origin of life."

It whimpered, and the crisp and pure voice was suddenly full of happiness, and it felt like a great honor.

Xu Zhi stared outside for a while, very nervous.

He did come prepared.

This oven was made by observing Caroline's technique of creating all things.

Although a planet could not be pinched, a living oven with a magic core inside, which could control the temperature and generate heat by itself, was like an advanced alchemy furnace.

Although it is alive and has intelligent AI, it is impossible to feed itself.

He turned around and instructed the ceramic girl, "In every hour, change the water regularly, and replace the natural treasures that have been sucked dry, don't be stingy, this process takes day and night, remember to add a lot of warm maple tea, after all Being strong is also an egg hatching, it is the weakest moment in life, and it takes leaves to not feel strange for three days."

"Master is merciful." The ceramic girl was immediately moved. This huge price is enough to prove the importance of this existence and the status in her heart.

At the same time, adding leaves to create a hatching environment for birds is too intimate.

And with another existence outside, you can compare the difference:

In the courtyard in the middle of winter, the cold wind is blowing, and this attitude of disregarding it seems like a world of ice and fire.

"Please rest assured, master, I will be watching regularly." The ceramic girl said.

Xu Zhi nodded, turned and left the living room, ready to return to the room.

He suddenly took a few steps, very worried, and turned his head again and said, "Remember to put the replaced spiritual liquid in the refrigerator next to it, it will be of great use to me."
