Am I the only one who didn't ascend?

The conversation with Lu Zhiyao was, as always, like wandering on a lonely boat on the ocean.

There will always be storms, and there will always be blue skies and blazing sun, and no matter how the sea scenery changes, at least you will never have to worry about the boat stagnation. The raging waves named Lu Zhiyao will always push you forward.

"Okay, now that you have understood the circular structure of the virtual and real world, you can move on to the next step. This time you came just in time. I happen to have a troublesome matter that I don't know who to entrust to deal with..."

Wang Luo couldn't help but laugh at Lu Zhiyao's habit of arresting young men at every turn... She was also like this on Lingshan Mountain back then. Every thought came up, and Wang Luo's participation was indispensable in every thought.

"So, are we going to deal with Taichu?"

Lu Zhiyao was stunned for a moment, then shook her head with a smile: "On the contrary... Taichu is not a problem. I don't need to find it troublesome, and you don't need your help to deal with it. This time he opened a gap and jumped into the Luoshu world, trying to dig out the roots. "Looking for the bottom" is really a failure, but it can also be regarded as a helpless failure. In short..."

Speaking of this, a small glass piece in Lu Zhiyao's hand suddenly lit up, and a line of words popped up on it: Team 87 has returned successfully.

"Ha." Lu Zhiyao raised her eyebrows, showing obvious joy, "The suppression of world 87 has also been completed, and the progress is better than expected. This time, we can apply to the parliament for a larger budget."

After that, she explained to Wang Luo: "In response to your question just now, the last clone that descended from Taichu to the Luoshu world has been suppressed, so there is no need for you to take action at all."

Wang Luo was surprised: "Suppression is complete... by you? World No. 18, has the ability to suppress Taichu?"

Lu Zhiyao said: "Do you find it incredible? This is precisely the key to our ability to suppress Taichu. Yes, from the perspective of 'hard power', World No. 18 is not developed enough to compete with Taichu, even Taichu at the end of its powerful crossbow. But precisely because of this, precisely because he himself can see the weakness of World No. 18 at a glance, we have an excellent opportunity to defeat the strong with the weak. "

Having said this, Lu Zhiyao suddenly lowered her head and took out a palm-sized weapon with extremely delicate structure from a drawer of the long table.

"This is a gadget that I presided over the research and development. It is the prototype of the entire [Homecoming] series of weapons. What's next..."

Before she finished speaking, she suddenly held the small prototype machine, pointed the gun at Wang Luo, and pulled her index finger inward.

At the same time, Wang Luo only felt an unprecedented threat coming towards him... It was an indescribable and even more difficult to resist threat, so that Wang Luo almost had no choice but to make an instinctive counterattack.

He was the last to strike, and his shots were as fast as lightning. At this moment, even those Mahayana princes would be stunned by his speed.

In less than a blink of an eye, he dodged the small pistol in Lu Zhiyao's hand, then held it like a self-taught person, put his index finger on the trigger, and pointed the gun at Lu Zhiyao.

At this point, his own rationality finally came to his senses... Then, after sighing, he patted the prototype of Homecoming on the table.

Lu Zhiyao shook her head regretfully and rubbed her wrist: "It seems that my skills have really deteriorated, and I was actually beaten back by you little guy."

Wang Luo said: "It can be seen that your strength has indeed declined greatly. Now, do you still have the strength to transform into a god? How long have you stayed in this main world? If you continue to stay, will you still be able to survive?" How far has it deteriorated?"

Lu Zhiyao shook her head again and did not respond to the question. Instead, she played with the prototype in her hand and explained: "You should have felt the threat from it just now. It has no other killing capabilities but only attacks from outside the world." He has the ability to kill with one strike. Anyone who fails to detect the truth will be directly compressed into simple words in Luo Shu. Well, the principle is also very simple: Whether it's Taichu, you, or even me, the 'power' brought into the Luoshu world is not from the Luoshu world, but is something invaded by the outside world. Returning home can bring those who do not belong to this world. The power returns to where it came from. Therefore, no matter how powerful Taichu is, if he is shot in front of you, he will kneel on the ground. Moreover, in theory, people who cannot detect the reality will not be able to dodge the shot you just made. You can feel the threat because half of your subconscious is still in the outside world, but the other half has firmly crossed the boundary between reality and reality, so you have the opportunity to take away the gun in my hand. If Taichu were here, maybe he would be better than you He's better at fighting, but he can't dodge my shot."

Wang Luo sighed, and could only say that Lu Zhiyao's abrupt change of topic was commonplace, and then simply said: "In that case, why didn't you interfere with the first three worlds?"

Lu Zhiyao said: "It's not necessary, it's not worth it. There are not many mass-produced weapons in total. Each one is priceless, and the cost of training elite warriors who can control the weapons is even higher. Those little Shi Yue you see, every one It's enough for my salary for ten years. On the other hand, World No. 1 has already reached its end. The core of the story at that time was 'What would happen if Kyushu was not the only one with the Immortal Way, but the Three Thousand Ways came together'? The Taoist ancestors from all walks of life fought fiercely every day, and the world was pale and dusty. The little worm-like gray people you saw in that world might have once been some supreme power occupying a cave. And in that kind of world, It’s really time to overturn and restart.”

At this point, she let out a long sigh and leaned down on the table.

"It's a pity that I have to be the boss when we restart the work. I'm afraid I'll have to work overtime again this weekend."

Wang Luo also sighed.

With the explanation of World No. 1, No. 2 and No. 3 naturally don’t need to say much. So, in this Taichu crisis, there is actually no difference at all with him or without him?

"Of course there is a difference." Lu Zhiyao said as if she could see through Wang Luo's thoughts, "Although I don't need your help to suppress Taichu, his arrival made Taixu, who we had finally calmed down, become ferocious, and Taixu became fierce. Xu can only leave it to you to solve, so it’s better to say that you came just in time... If you don’t come, we will still find a way to invite you. Oh, don’t worry, it is not a particularly difficult problem for you to solve. , There is no need to be too nervous. There is no earth-shattering demon king anymore. The Immortal Alliance has completely won this battle to determine the wilderness, and it is just finishing the battle. "

After saying that, Lu Zhiyao suddenly stood up: "So, don't rush things. It's a rare occasion. Why not have a meal together? I specially applied for special funds for the canteen of Luoshu base and invited several retired senior officials. The chef is in charge of the work, and the quality of his several specialty Kung Fu dishes is as good as those of the black diamond restaurants outside. "

Wang Luo hesitated to speak. Of course, he had no intention of eating at this time. Although Lu Zhiyao answered many of his questions, she also opened up more questions at the same time... But I also knew that in front of this willful senior sister, she would not be able to eat at all. When she changed the subject without hesitation, it would be impossible to bring her back even if she looked for ten auspicious deer.

So, here we come... rather, some issues may be easier to communicate while eating.

However, perhaps because Lu Zhiyao was so willful, there would be "retribution" in the end. When she was about to notify the staff to have the canteen open a small stove, her mobile phone lit up again, and this time, Lu Zhiyao immediately changed His expression changed.

But instead of becoming tense and guarded, it showed a kind of... unprecedented relaxation, as if a wanderer was returning home, or a tired bird was returning to its nest. That was an expression that Wang Luo had never seen anywhere.

Whether it was Lingshan or Taiqing's Dream back then, Lu Zhiyao had never been so gentle with anyone.

And when she picked up the phone and put it to her ear, the first words she spoke shocked Wang Luo beyond measure.

"Mom, why are you still awake and calling me so late... Oh, isn't it normal for me to stay up late? Recently, an intruder has arrived, so of course it's impossible to go to bed early and get up early... Well, don't worry, it's all over It’s solved. I’m here at the Luoshu base. What’s the problem? On the weekends, I might have to... Oh, it’s okay. I won’t work overtime this weekend. I’ll just stay in Luodu for two days. I’ll just keep it to myself. Take a vacation. Oh, don’t bother, just home-cooked food. If not, I’ll bring two dishes from the cafeteria... I know, I’m not used to home-cooked food. Don’t worry, I’ll finish it.”

The gentle family talk lasted for a long time. Wang Luo watched silently from the side, and some questions in his mind naturally had answers.

This world No. 18, this world born and evolved from fiction, is senior sister's home.

Although she may have only lived in this world for a few decades, she spent the remaining years of her life in Kyushu Continent. Although here she is just the dean of the base and has to compromise on many things, but in Kyushu she is the Lord of all ages and speaks the truth. although……

But this is her home, both her origin and her destination.

The reason why the senior sister gradually retired to seclusion after she established the wish and brought the Immortal Alliance to the right track was probably not because the Lord of Heaven in Jingzhou tried to replace her, but because she herself gradually discovered the way back home.

Returning home, returning home... Wang Luo could not imagine how a person who had been away from home for a thousand years would feel when he suddenly found his hometown so close. In fact, different people will definitely have different choices.

But the senior sister's choice was plain and simple. For her, the thousand years she spent in the Kyushu Continent were just a journey, and the end of the journey must be her return home.

There seemed to be a thick barrier between the senior sister who returned home and the domineering person in Wang Luo's memory. However, he watched her chatting with her family for a long time while casually writing on several stacks of documents. Signing opinions can easily dominate the operation of the world and even outside the world... Wang Luo also felt that maybe her heart had never changed, but she would choose different performance methods in different scenarios. In addition, she did not even try to hide her identity as an actor. She has always made it clear that she is a time traveler and a passerby, but few people really understand the meaning.

Therefore, there is no need to ask the questions that were originally prepared.

I don’t know how long it took, Lu Zhiyao finally hung up the phone after sighing, and turned to look at Wang Luo: "Although the chef in charge of dinner should be off work, the late night snacks in the cafeteria are not bad, let's go and eat some together. ?”

"Okay, missing exotic food is the most unforgivable mistake during travel...Senior sister, you said so."

"Haha, it's like this, so it's rare that you come as a guest this time. You must eat enough of the delicacies in this world before leaving, or... forget it, let's not mention that for now, I have already informed the canteen, let's go there right now Right. The chef in charge of late-night snacks is good at his craftsmanship but has a bad temper. He really wants to scold someone for letting his food get cold. "

"So, senior sister, you won't go back, right?"

When the words fell, Wang Luo suddenly realized that he had actually asked the question.

On the other side, Lu Zhiyao also retracted her eagerness for late-night snacks. She was a little helpless, but also said calmly: "Yes, I will not go back again. I am no longer needed there. I have been living in seclusion for so long. , if the Immortal Alliance still can't do without me, then it's really everyone's failure... On the contrary, this side still can't do without me at all. The reason why World No. 18 became the main world is to make Luo Shu controllable. Taixu is controllable, not naturally, but because of my leadership... It was me who brought the immortal way of Jiuzhou Continent after returning home, and used this to lead the change of the world, so that this place could become Luo The center of the book. And the current world of No. 18 is just like the Immortal Alliance in the early years of the New Immortal Calendar. It is far from the time when I can let go. The world structure seems stable, but there are still countless difficulties that I will face in the future. For example, Taixu's restlessness needs you to calm him down, and the reconstruction of the world of heavens also needs me to catch up with him, not to mention the creation plan that is still far away..."

Wang Luo asked: "So, what happens after all this work?"

Lu Zhiyao was startled for a moment, and then sighed: "You have great confidence in me, and think I can really finish all this... I have always planned that I will die in office. Different from the time in Jiuzhou, here I am not Without the means to break through the limit of longevity, although most of the aging you see is my deliberate disguise, the time that belongs to me is indeed getting shorter and shorter. It is impossible for immortality to become popular here. You can feel it. The spiritual energy of heaven and earth is almost the limit of what this world can accommodate, so relying on the remaining cultivation in the past, I can probably live for another two hundred years. And in two hundred years, with the current rate of progress in World No. 18, I am afraid that the Creation Plan At most one start.”

These words seemed reasonable and well-founded, but Wang Luo felt a little irritated when he heard them.

Because this is really not something Lu Zhiyao would say... Of course difficulties exist objectively, but has Lu Zhiyao ever been afraid of difficulties? It is her normal state to use miracles to overcome difficulties, so these words are probably just clichés.

However, when Wang Luo was hesitating whether to reveal the truth, he heard Lu Zhiyao change the subject.

"So, since that's all, why don't you answer my question... How about staying here?"
