As long as there is blood, the gods will kill you

[According to the research institute, the protective effect of the sacred barrier is weakening. The last remaining power is expected to dissipate within a hundred years, by which time the Great Zhou will be exposed to the void plane again.]

[The "Qiming Project" and "Spark Project" are currently being promoted. Da Zhou has made all preparations to welcome the upcoming new wave]

[The Supreme Council proposed to set up a separate "Path-opening University" on the basis of the current seven universities, aiming to study more possible extraordinary systems. A single flower does not make spring, but a hundred flowers in full bloom make the whole garden full of spring.]

[The 100th Supreme Council election has ended. Speaker Xu Rou has been re-elected with an overwhelming advantage. The Great Zhou will surely develop further under the leadership of Speaker Xu...]

……

"Congratulations, you have been re-elected."

On the rooftop, a voice of congratulations came from behind the woman leaning over the railing.

"There's nothing to congratulate. I've been re-elected for too many terms."

With her black hair cascading down like a waterfall and wearing a fitted and elegant custom-made speaker's uniform, Xu Rou's facial features are not much different from those of the past, but if you look closely, you can find that they have become much softer under the care of time.

She turned around and saw a girl who was half a head shorter than her approaching, clapping her hands.

She has long pink hair and her clothes are mainly pink.

"So what if you've been re-elected for so many terms? If you're suitable and capable, just keep re-elected."

Feng Xiaoxiao held a lollipop in her mouth, and it seemed that time had left no trace on her.

"Sometimes I really envy you. You slept for hundreds of years, but there was no change on your body. And you have been with him for so long."

Xu Rou sighed softly, then looked at the city again.

"Envy me? Envy me for being captured by the gods and transformed, and then living a life worse than death?"

"If you had the chance to exchange lives, would you be willing to do so with me?" Xu Rou asked.

Feng Xiaoxiao paused, then said with a smile, "I don't want to."

Facing the sunshine, she yawned and stretched, "What a pitiful unrequited love. Not only did I not get anything, but now I have to be the chairman of the parliament and deal with various affairs every day. It's so annoying."

Xu Rou was silent.

After a while, she said quietly, "Now I understand why everyone doesn't think very highly of you."

"Who cares? I don't care."

Feng Xiaoxiao yawned again, then fell to the side, surrounded by blood. In the blink of an eye, a recliner floating in the air appeared and caught her.

"I think it's necessary to arrange a position for you. You're idle every day as if nothing happened." Xu Rou glanced at her.

"Hey, don't. I'm not idle. I just went to the core of the ancient tree to check it out and talked to Xiaodie."

"Oh? She woke up?" Xu Rou asked.

Qin Xiaodie finally succeeded in controlling the ancient shadow tree, and under her manipulation, she maintained the stability of the sacred barrier.

However, the aftereffects of this are also huge.

Her consciousness was constantly eroded and assimilated by the ancient tree, and she lost herself.

So later on, Qin Xiaodie would frequently fall into a coma and lose contact with the outside world. Even when she woke up occasionally, she was unable to convey accurate information because of her weak consciousness.

Until Feng Xiaoxiao woke up.

She inserted her red tentacles into the Shadow Ancient Tree and understood the message it was conveying very well.

"Well, it won't be long before she is completely assimilated." Feng Xiaoxiao nodded.

"This day will come sooner or later." Xu Rou sighed sadly, "Did she say anything else?"

"She can probably hold on for a while. Once her consciousness completely dissipates, this sacred barrier will dissipate at a faster speed. In fifty years at the shortest, or sixty or seventy years at the slowest, the Great Zhou will be exposed again."

"Less than a hundred years."

Xu Rou looked at the city in the distance with a melancholy look.

We originally thought that we could hold out for another hundred years, but that time was already a bit tight. Now it has been shortened by several decades, and the task of the Great Zhou has become even heavier.

"Take your time. The outside world is gradually becoming stable. Hundreds of years ago, the gods announced the end of the total war. There are indeed fewer movements outside the barrier."

Feng Xiaoxiao shook her head slightly, revealing a bit of melancholy, "What a pity... I didn't get to meet him in the end."

"For all races, stability may be a good thing, but for us, stability means that the gods can spare more energy to search for traces of humans. Do you think they will allow humans to survive?"

Big week.

After years of development, it has become a thorough seventh-level civilization.

Of course, due to the limited resources in this area, they were unable to reach the top-level powerful seventh level, but looking at the void, they can no longer be said to be a weak race.

It is estimated that this is the only and strongest human camp at present.

If the gods discovered that there was a powerful human race left here, one can imagine what actions they would take.

"Let's take it one step at a time. Maybe one day there will be a solution."

Xu Rou shook her head, and then said softly, "After this term is over, I will not participate in the next election."

"Ah?" Feng Xiaoxiao was surprised. "Why? Isn't the Great Zhou doing well under your leadership?"

"I'm already old."

"When you get to the seventh level, you can live thousands of years young easily. You say you are old? So, which one of us is practicing the polluted system?"

"The Great Zhou cannot rely entirely on one person. I am just an ordinary person. Even if I have some talent, I cannot shoulder this responsibility. After all, I am not him."

Xu Rou let out a long sigh of relief. "Besides, I should accumulate strength to cope with the changing situation. If possible, I should try to break through to the eighth level."

"How sure are you?"

Feng Xiaoxiao asked.

"I'm not sure." Xu Rou denied.

There is an upper limit to the polluted roads, at least that is the case here in Da Zhou.

Nowadays, Da Zhou has changed the test from the third year of high school to after the high school entrance examination.

Unless you have excellent pollution talent, this system is not recommended in most cases.

What replaced it was the "Extreme Emotional Extraordinary System" that she once obtained.

Through breathing techniques and viewing pictures, one can temper one's "extreme emotions".

And she is the strongest person in the Great Zhou Dynasty today, no doubt about it.

Over the years, many geniuses have emerged in the Great Zhou, and each year is stronger than the last.

But anyone who has lived in that era always feels that something is wrong.

Even if not compared with Jiang You, Su Jianyang, Li Xunguang, Xiangfang Yang... these geniuses always leave a deep impression on people.

For a moment, chaotic thoughts echoed in her mind and she remained silent for a long time.

Until a phone call brought her back to her senses.

"Hey?"

"Aunt Xu, I'm on vacation, but I'll be home a few days later. I just happened to be participating in a project at school. Wait for my good news."

"No, come back to me quickly." Xu Rou's voice sank.

"No no, hehe."

As he spoke, the person on the other end of the phone hung up.

"Nianchuan?" Feng Xiaoxiao asked with a smile.

"Who else could it be but this child?"
