Beiyin Great Sage

"Da da……"

In the empty underground passage, the sound of steady footsteps could be heard.

The passage is spacious and can accommodate large buses. The floor is clean and the walls are smooth. Even if no one has visited it for many years, it is dust-free.

Zhou Jia, who was wearing a long robe, walked among them with his hands behind his back, looking at the paintings on the wall from time to time, his eyes flickering, wondering what he was thinking.

"One hundred and thirty-two years ago, a blood moon appeared in the sky over Yuexing. After that, something happened to Yuexing, and 800,000 Yuexing people died tragically."

The metal ball named Tianhe was suspended in the air, and there was a sizzling sound:

"More than ten years ago, the starry sky around Yuexing suddenly disappeared, and Yuecheng, where the survivors lived, also came to this place called the Xujie."

"There are many monsters here. In order to deal with them, the survivors activated the only remaining spirit bomb and died together with the monsters."

As he spoke, the metal door in front opened to both sides, revealing a tunnel that led directly to the ground.

"Eight hundred thousand?"

Zhou Jia walked forward slowly and said:

"Why, it's difficult for Yuexing people to have children?"

Judging from the murals and carvings on the walls and the traces left here, we can see that the Yuexing people are almost the same size as the people on Earth.

Yuexing is not small either.

There are only 800,000 people?

"That's not true." Tianhe replied:

"When the Yuexing people had the largest population, they exceeded 20 billion. However, with the development of technology, the population has become smaller and smaller."

"oh!"

Zhou Jia paused slightly:

"It's interesting, let's talk about it."

In addition to being able to endure, it is also important for a linguistics major to maintain curiosity.

"In the year 3368 of the Yue calendar, the population of the Yuexing people reached its peak. By then, there would still be many poor people who could not afford food and clothing, and many diseases were rampant."

Tianhe opened his mouth:

"In 3522, the Yuexing Alliance was established, which basically solved the problem of food and clothing for the Yuexing people, and many stubborn diseases were cured."

"That same year, the population began to decline rapidly."

"The most critical one is the reduction in women's desire to have children."

Zhou Jia nodded slowly.

"There are many reasons, such as the increase in academic qualifications, the decrease in the number of fertile years, the impact of having a baby on women's physical work, etc..." Tianhe continued:

"Because the population is declining so fast, the alliance has introduced many policies to encourage and support women to return to the family and give birth to future generations."

"However, the effect is very poor."

“More and more women are unwilling to have children. According to data, women spend a lot of time during pregnancy and taking care of babies. If they have a second or third child, the most energetic time in their life will be spent on family. .”

"The inability to play, no social interaction, economic decline, and declining quality of life were the main reasons why women resisted in that era."

"As for men, although their desire to have children has weakened, it is not the main reason."

"The continued dwindling number of newborn babies every year is not only a social problem, but also an economic problem, which has almost brought the alliance to collapse."

“Finances in various places are going bankrupt one after another.”

Zhou Jia stopped and looked at the mural beside him.

The mural shows a happy family of three, but the next mural shows a couple without a child.

Then he opened his mouth and asked:

"How did you do it?"

"Increase subsidies for pregnant women so that they have the desire to have children; promote child care institutions so that parents have less worries about taking care of infants and young children; develop labor medicine during pregnancy to allow women to give birth painlessly." Tianhe explained, and then said:

"Unfortunately, the results are still not good."

Zhou Jia nodded and continued moving forward.

Tianhe continued:

"In the year 3715 of the Yue calendar, the population of Yue Star continued to decrease. At the same time, with the development of science and technology, the in vitro fertilization bill was passed."

"Um?"

Zhou Jia frowned, subconsciously sensing something was wrong.

"In vitro fertilization means that the couple does not need maternal incubation, completely freeing women from the worries of conceiving offspring."

Tianhe explains:

"In the same year, there was a slight increase in new births."

Zhou Jia shook his head and sighed.

He didn't know if what the Yuexing people were doing was right, to save women from the pain of ten-month pregnancy. Logically speaking, there seemed to be nothing wrong with it.

but……

It's like opening Pandora's box.

No.

Maybe this is not a bad thing, and the person who opens it doesn't think so, but he is a little unfounded.

"In the year 3752, genetic technology has been perfected. With the permission of the law, it can be used on unborn babies with the consent of both parents."

“In the same year, all kinds of congenital genetic diseases were completely eliminated, and newborn babies had outstanding intelligence, strong bodies, and extended life spans.”

"In vivo fertilization has many disadvantages and is gradually no longer accepted."

Tianhe’s voice was dull:

"In the 3800th year of the Yue Dynasty, the Human Race Continuation Act was passed, and one hundred thousand excellent genes were selected to be bred into babies every year. Adult men and women gradually lost their ability to conceive babies."

"In the year 3844 of the Yue calendar, the last woman who was conceived and born inside the body passed away, and parental ethics in the strict sense became history."

"Another hundred years..."

"The blood moon appears!"

"Ha..." Zhou Jia chuckled, his eyes showing a trace of confusion, and then he regained his clarity.

He has come into contact with many worlds and many ethnic groups, such as the Feimu world, the Dili tribe, the Xing tribe, the Yan tribe, etc...

Each world has its own special features, and more worlds are even completely extinct under the light of the blood moon.

compare to.

Yuexing people are not bad, at least they make their own choices, and it is not up to outsiders to judge whether they are right or wrong.

"so……"

Zhou Jia slowly turned his head and looked at the ball beside him:

"what do you want?"

"I..." Tianhe's voice paused slightly and said:

"I don't want to die."

"Death?" Zhou Jia's eyes moved slightly:

"Are you afraid of death?"

The other party should be just a mechanical creation, without intelligence itself, let alone fear of death.

"Yes." Tianhe shook and his voice became trembling:

"Will you kill me?"

Zhou Jia said nothing.

He did have this plan, to enter the world of black iron fragments with a silver body, or enter halfway, it would inevitably be troublesome if outsiders knew about it.

Even the golden creature would be curious about how he did it.

"Even if you don't kill me, those things outside will kill me." Tianhe's voice was low, and the ball slowly fell to the ground:

"I don't want to die."

"I don't know why, but the moment I entered the ruin world, something suddenly changed in me. I wasn't afraid of death before."

"Interesting." Zhou Jia looked at the ball and smiled slightly:

"You had murderous intent on your body, so you must have thought about attacking me just now, and even led me here. Why did you suddenly change your focus?"

The Tianhe River stagnated.

"Zi...Zi..."

Sparks were flying on the ball, and it seemed difficult to understand how the other party knew what he was thinking.

a long time,

Fang Dao:

"I didn't kill you, and even if I kill you, the existence outside will kill me, so why take the risk again?"

"So, you can kill people?" Zhou Jia thought thoughtfully.

"I couldn't do it before. I am a product created by Yuexing people. I have the strongest computing power and can control many devices in the city, but I cannot kill people." Tianhe said:

"Okay now."

"I don't know why."

"Okay!" Zhou Jia understood:

"What other things here can be used?"

"Most of the weapons have lost their effectiveness, but some can be used." The ball projected a projection forward and said:

"Laser guidance, atomic cannons, and aircraft have lost their effectiveness, and the effects of power bombs and collapse cannons have been weakened, but these can still be used."

Those that can be used are marked in white on the projection.

"I have a huge amount of computing data. According to the outside world, as long as I go out, I can become silver. It will definitely be useful for you to accept me."

Zhou Jia put his chin in his hand, thought for a while and said:

"Bring your true form up."

"..." The ball was sizzling with sparks, and he said after a long time:

"yes."

Yunping Mountains.

"Nine years!"

Zhou Jia stepped on the auspicious clouds and appeared deep in the mountains. Looking at Yuan Pavilion where the lights were flying past in the distance, he couldn't help but sigh.

This was the first time for him to stay in a fragmented world for so long.

Nine years is not a long time for the Silver Power, but for the front line where wars are constantly changing, it has changed a lot.

These few years.

The Dark Ethnic's offensive on the Yunping Mountains is becoming more and more fierce. The Tianyuan Alliance's front has retreated again and again, and now they can only defend the core of the mountains.

This is because there are golden creatures sitting in charge.

It is said that

Three golden men from the Tianyuan Alliance came here and even launched a counterattack. I don’t know why both sides are so obsessed with the Yunping Mountains.

"Owner."

A beautiful figure appeared beside her, and she spoke cheerfully:

"There's so much silver out there?"

Qianying has a petite figure and delicate facial features. She looks like a young lolita, but has a curvy body, and her voice is crisp and pleasant.

Tianhe!

This woman is the technological creation of the Yuexing people, the mechanical life Tianhe.

Her body is a computing core the size of a fist, the outer shell is made of a special metal, and her appearance is the same as before.

I don’t know why, but the Yuexing people actually made their most high-tech creation look like this.

"Um."

Zhou Jia nodded:

"Let's go!"

He also warned:

"Remember to control your breath."

"yes!"

Tianhe should follow Zhou Jia's instructions and use the source power in his body to control all the aura on his body.

She is already a silver creature. Although she is a mechanical life, in the ruin world, the foundation of everything is source power, and Zhou Jia can guide her.

But most of the methods that the human race can practice cannot be practiced by Tianhe.

Only the secret method of the soul is unrestricted.

When he first arrived in the outside world, Tianhe acted very cautiously. He leaned close to Zhou Jia and spoke in a low voice, with fear in his voice:

"Are we going to be here forever?"

So much silver, each one could kill her. As a newborn, the fear of death was deeply ingrained in her bones.

"No."

Zhou Jia shook his head when he heard this:

"Pack your things and we'll leave."

front.

He's had enough!

Now that he has a fifth-level silver cultivation level, he can advance to the sixth level after a few more decades of hard training, and even acquire the longevity-extending medicine Astragalus.

Thinking of Asparagus grass, Zhou Jia couldn't help but sigh.

Of the two Asparagus plants, one was destroyed in Qi Gu's hands. Although the other was not destroyed, it was also affected, and it is unknown how much the effectiveness of the medicine was lost.

but……

enough.

Returning to Yuan City to refining the pseudo-artifact in hand would be more than enough to protect oneself, but on the front line, Feihu and the others might be looking at him.

In short, let’s leave first!

"Owner."

He asked Tianhe to go around outside and soon found out some news.

"Someone has indeed been secretly investigating you in the past few years, and there is another person who is said to be an old friend of yours and wants to meet."

"who?"

"A man named Zhao Fujia."

Zhao Fujia?

Zhou Jia raised his eyebrows slightly, he actually came to the front line.
