40,000 Years of Cultivation

Once upon a time, the "New City of Hope" behind Shannuya was a bustling, brightly lit and prosperous city, where countless residents thrived and lived for generations.

However, as most of the residents moved to live on nearby starships, the town became much more spacious and depressed. Until now, only some people who are closely related to Shannuya will live here, such as the "Dream Control Bureau". The staff, and... the guard.

Yes, the "Guard", a very ridiculous organization. Just when Peppa approached the town, he saw hundreds of armored soldiers training. They were commanded by Peppa's brother Reich, all waving and shining brightly. The weapon, which looks like an ancient cold weapon, has all kinds of incredible magical powers, and can even tear space. It can also remotely control the powerful unmanned war shuttle, which surrounds you like thousands of meteors. It looks extremely majestic. ——But it's just what it looks like.

To be honest, Pepe has never understood the meaning of the "guard". In theory, the so-called "guard" is an organization that protects everyone, right? The problem is that the golden combination of humans and the Void Hunter has not encountered any opponents after traveling in the stars for thousands of years! Yes, some planets and star fields have giants such as "hill cancer" that can compete with the Void Hunter, but the bigger the monster, the gentler the personality. Everyone does not offend the river water, and occasionally exchanges some precious things. The resources and information in the country will not pose the slightest threat to them at all.

And those smaller predators, as Shanuya said, as long as its tentacles are waving at will, they will flee hundreds of astronomical units in fright. With Shanuya's protection, this branch is really serious." "Guard", for what purpose does it exist?

Pepe thought about this question for a long time, but finally realized it.

Is this some kind of game?

It's like playing house.

Because, as a vassal race of the Void Hunter, life is really boring—all kinds of resources including psionic energy are available, and there is no natural enemy that can threaten their safety, such a boring life, everyone needs Find ways to please yourself.

Pepe’s method is to tell stories, and his brother and his friends who have nowhere to vent their energy, learned from the stupid ancients, played ridiculous war games, and pretended that they were also great heroes like "Tie Xiong"-no What else can they do?

At this moment, the guard seemed to have encountered something. My brother was yelling and gathering his subordinates. He clearly saw that Peipei didn’t say hello to her. His eyes and eyebrows were folded together, as if he was facing an enemy and worried. , Is almost the same as Dad.

"Hmph, you don't say hello to me, and I don't say hello to you either!"

Peipei made a grimace at her brother and the young guards from a distance, and jumped into the "New Hope City".

The current New Hope City is almost half of the space occupied by the "Dream Control Bureau". There are three-dimensional virtual light curtains everywhere, projecting images extracted from the depths of Shannuya's thinking folds-it's like A pair of continuously flowing but extremely sticky oil paintings. From these colorful paintings, experienced psychoanalyst experts can analyze Shannuya’s most subtle thoughts and emotional reactions, and draw up different control plans to make them To please it better.

Of course, there are still some light curtains that are constantly repeating the story of Pepe and Shanuya just now, no matter every micro expression on Pepe’s face or the change of every nerve synapse in Shanuya, Are all recorded.

This is standard operating procedure, which has been the case for hundreds of years, and Peppa didn't feel anything wrong.

She was just very strange that the staff of the "Dream Control Bureau" today, like the guards, were in a panic, and it seemed that something major had happened.

Others looked at her with very strange gazes, as if she had caused a disaster, but when she asked, those people shook their heads and waved their hands and asked her to ask the director of the Dream Control Bureau-that is hers. Dad Raine.

"father!"

Pepe was confused and returned to the mission center of the Dreamland Control Bureau. The atmosphere here was more tense and serious. His father's normally black face was so gloomy that he could drip ink. He pursed his thin lips and stared at the light curtain. A scarlet rune that jumps steadily, falling into long thoughts.

Peipei followed her father's gaze and found that the line of runes read: "Super alert state!"

What does it mean?

Pepe was taken aback. She only knew that the last time Shannuya took them on a star-sea jump, she had encountered a very severe four-dimensional storm, or she relied on Shannuya to rip off hundreds of tentacles to take people away from the danger. , And that time, it was just a "first-level alert state". What kind of crisis can be called a "superior"!

Peipei faintly felt that this matter had something to do with him.

Is it because I accepted the "infinite flower" presented by Shanuya? Not so much!

"father?"

The girl yelled again cautiously, "What does this mean? Did we do something wrong? Is it the flower?"

"No, you didn't do anything wrong, and that flower is not the most critical factor."

Dad finally retracted his gaze and glanced at her lightly, "There is nothing to do with you here. Go back and have a good rest. Let a few tutors help you regain your mental strength. There will be very important things in the next few days. We have to help Shannu. Ya is'reborn'."

Maybe it's because Dad said too lightly and calmly. Peipei didn't realize what "rebirth" meant for a while, but when she carefully chewed the deep meaning of these two words, her face turned pale, and her eyes deepened. Only tension and fear are left.

The reproduction method of the Void Hunter is different from that of humans. They adopt a method similar to "split reproduction". When a Void Hunter reaches the end of life, it will actively explode and blow up a few tentacles far away. These tentacles will have a certain amount. May become a new Void Hunter.

Therefore, the so-called "rebirth" means "death".

But the normal life span of the Void Hunter is very long, even infinite by human standards. Shannuya is still a "young man", no, he is still a "child" who knows nothing, far, far away It's far from exploding!

They want to kill it!

Humans must take the initiative to kill the Void Hunter!

Dad, Dad, brother, and all the people living in Shannuya, these Pepe’s relatives, friends and compatriots, want to kill Shannuya!

"why?"

Peppa blurted out, "Because of a flower?"

"It's not the flower's question, but it finally asked the question."

Dad calmly explained to her, "It finally asks you, why is it ‘Sannuya’?"

Peppa didn't understand at all: "What, what about this? What can this explain!"

"This shows that its mind is gradually maturing, and the degree of self-awareness has touched and exceeded the critical value."

Dad said, "It started thinking about an extremely dangerous question,'Who am I'."
