Monsters Will Die if They Are Killed

The huge ruins formed by the remains of the Dragon King on the bottom of the Pacific Ocean have already been discovered by Zhengguo and the American Federation. Its exact location is located in the cracks in the crust around the Northern Mariana Islands, in the center of a dense submarine chimney group on the seabed.

Su Zhou's previous impressions were firstly to confirm that a dragon had been born on the Dragon King's corpse, and secondly to ascertain the situation around the ruins, so as to prepare for the more detailed exploration work in the future.

This time the exploration will be led by Zhengguo, and the purpose of the open exploration is to reveal the evidence of the existence of ancient monster races and immortal gods for everyone in the world. And, their power.

No matter what country or region the mythology is, there are legends of giant beasts and demons. Some of them can live with people normally, while others are pure enemies... Governments of various countries who know the inheritance of the pseudo-dao, naturally Knowing the difference, that is the oldest way of human beings to return the body of a demon with the way of a demon.

But the general public is different. Human beings who grew up in the era of severance of spiritual energy know little about these things, and it is easy to confuse the two.

But Taoism does exist, it is here, and there will inevitably be powerful Taoism practitioners appearing on the public stage in the future—are they humans or demons? Is it a druid, a werewolf, a vampire, or some other beast? Are they really not a threat to normal humans? Are they greedy for human flesh and blood, as in the legend?

To explain this problem clearly and to separate all Taoist cultivators in the world from this demonized public opinion, various foreshadowings are needed.

As for Zhengguo, the 'dragon', which has always appeared in a positive and totem image, is the best example.

Even if my identity as a dragon's blood holder is announced, no one thinks that I am not a human being. Of course there are reasons for my handsome appearance, but the most important thing is that Zhengguo has worshiped Nakamoto as a totem since ancient times. There are dragons.

Su Zhou is very self-aware. He knows very well that even if he is handsome, if the blood he gets is some kind of evil beast like gluttonous, Zhu Yanqiongqi, or other wolves, bears, tigers, and leopards, there will be no public opinion. Such a good change, everyone will subconsciously reject it.

But dragons are different—in fact, the same is true for phoenixes, no one would hate the blood of dragons and phoenixes—this is the importance of reputation.

Therefore, choosing the Dragon King's ruins as the target and using this as an opportunity to disclose the pseudo-dao inheritance will not cause much rejection, and this demon god who is basically identified as the Tianchi Dragon King is indeed a human being according to the records in the classics. It was built, and its remains are indeed very suitable as an example of public imitation.

However, apart from this point, there is actually another difficult problem—is it necessary to reveal the power of the Yaozu and the former immortal gods so early? This point has actually caused controversy at the joint meeting of various countries: Some people believe that revealing the power of fairy gods too early will induce panic and wavering among the people, or uncontrollable blind worship, which are extremely unstable factors , is not a good thing for the already shaky world order today.

But the other party believes that instead of being forced to reveal the existence and power of immortal gods in the possible turmoil in the future, it is better to inoculate the public in a state where the situation can at least be stabilized.

As for the inevitable chaos... Could it be avoided by dragging back?

Su Zhou was also there at the time, sitting behind the two saints, Wen Sheng and Li Sheng, and he even took a photo of the scene of the United Nations General Assembly and posted it on an anonymous website - immediately aroused a you will never Know who the sand sculpture netizens who chat with you are. X Island really has everyone! ’ shocked reply.

Li Sheng is a pure official, a sixty-three-year-old man with a neat beard, and a very energetic man. He didn't go to practice on purpose, and his strength is not high, so the daily circle of Su Zhou, a transcendent, does not overlap. It was the first time we met in that meeting, and the exchange was quite pleasant.

The attitude of the Zhengguo side is to make it public as soon as possible. After all, Zhengguo has many pseudo-dao inheritances, second only to Fusang next door, and the status of pseudo-dao practitioners is not low, and they have made achievements in various fields. The voice is also an important force.

Su Zhou also felt that immortal gods and demon gods exist objectively, at least in this world. That being the case, it is indeed better to wait until the situation gets out of hand and be forced to show it earlier.

At the end of the meeting, it was concluded that 'short-term pain is worse than long-term pain'. That's why the multinational joint exploration team headed by Zheng Guo was formed this time.

Su Zhou was appointed as the leading professor to preside over the exploration of the remains of the Dragon King. This time, there will also be a live broadcast of the Into the Ruins program group. Unlike other small ruins, this program is listed separately and is named The special chapter of Legacy of the Ancients, if there are any large-scale relics worth exploring in the future, they will use this name to broadcast live.

As for why Su Zhou leads the team, it is actually not surprising, because he is now a dragon's blood holder recognized by extraordinary people from all countries in the world, and his existence is a reassurance in itself. Even among the entourage, many people breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that with the presence of a true dragon blood, even if there was an accident in the deep sea, at least their lives would be guaranteed.

But they didn't know that Su Zhou knew thunder, fire and wind, but only water - if they knew, they would not be so optimistic.

I'm afraid it's not a fake dragon.

It's not a big problem. However, Su Zhou himself was full of confidence: I have condensed my spiritual power bones and spleen, and most of the remaining muscles have been condensed, leaving only my brain.

Don't say that the level of the flood dragon is weaker than me. I haven't even transformed into a dragon body. Even if it has transformed into a real dragon body, I can still blow it up with one punch.

However, it's hard to say whether it will be a fight or not. After all, after training in soul communication for a while, Su Zhou is confident that he will use his strong willpower immediately to persuade Jiaolong to negotiate peacefully voluntarily.

After reporting with the principal and obtaining the nominal permission, Su Zhou drove to the airport, headed to Tiandu, and then took a special plane with Zhengguo's official exploration team to land in Fusang, and then set off from Guam by boat to the relevant sea areas.

The whole process didn't even take more than half a day, and Su Zhou had already arrived at the sea from Hongcheng.

Zhengguo is naturally the leader in this exploration, followed by the American Federation and Fusang. Due to geographical reasons and many other complicated factors, other countries were unable to send an expedition team immediately, and could only send a few entourages in name.

Fuso's system is a constitutional monarchy based on elite bureaucracy, with an emperor in name. Regardless of the original symbolic meaning, the role of the emperor line itself is to inherit the orthodox ancient books of Fusang. The Fusang gods in ancient times handed over the management rights of the books to them, but did not give them ownership, which is similar to The identity of the librarian.

Fusang’s internal political system is currently undergoing large-scale reforms because of the recovery of spiritual energy. They themselves do not want to change in essence, but the recovery of spiritual energy itself is a catalyst for change and chaos. He will not be willing to continue to be ordered by his boss, and his subordinates who see the change will naturally feel panic-in addition, the status of Fusang's pseudo-dao inheritors is not high, and the suppression is far more serious than Zhengguo's pseudo-dao practitioners. The internal contradictions of the transcendent are extremely great, and they are divided into conservatives and reformers. Their contradictions have already broken through the critical point, but they have been suppressed by the environment of the severance of spiritual energy.

It has to be said that if the accumulated anger between the conservatives and the reformers breaks out, it may be no less than the great riot that overthrew the old Fusang 130 years ago.

This time, the exploration of the remains of the Dragon King is of great significance to the reformers in Fusang. If the action is successful and the publicity is in place, it will definitely sweep away the somewhat disreputable reputation of the Taoists in the past, and the reformers can also use this to promote the follow-up system. Variety.

Theoretically speaking, the conservatives within Fusang must want to sabotage this operation—unfortunately, they dare not. After all, the price of offending Zhengguo and the American Federation is far greater than the losses that will be suffered by sitting by and watching the reformers succeed.

As for why the American Federation supports the disclosure of proposed roads, it is for another similar but different purpose.

In the final analysis, imitation is nothing more than changing the body and simulating the power of extraordinary creatures.

The difference between this series of cultivators and normal humans lies in the flesh. Although the demonized body has powerful power, it looks different from normal humans. The too hideous appearance will undoubtedly induce The fear of ordinary human beings, after all, all human beings are essentially members of the Appearance Association.

So, what is the difference between a human becoming a demon or a robot?

The seemingly irrelevant topics actually have the same essence.

In terms of mechanized transformation, and even mechanical superhuman transformation, the American Federation, which has a very deep technical background, knows very well that as long as everyone can accept it, it doesn't matter that the body changes, as long as the spirit is human, then it is human. , then all the ethical and public opinion problems of mechanized transformation will be easily solved.

After all, compared to the real body of the monster, the shape of the mechanical body is more similar to the human body. As a member of the Appearance Association, human beings instinctively reject it.

Perhaps in the eyes of many people, this seems to be an ethical and moral issue that is extremely difficult to change, but with the advancement of technology, human ethics and morals themselves will change, and for large aggregates at the level of countries and civilizations, Ethics and morality are just tools used to maintain stability, and tools naturally change to adapt to the times.

So, we're going to go down in a submersible? I thought I'd be physically diving.

On the top deck of the traveling scientific research ship, Su Zhou was drinking coffee with Xuanlu, the head of the Xuanwu Xuan family. After all, this was a well-prepared program, and it was basically impossible for any accidents to occur, and the natural danger was minimal. not nervous.

In fact, because just now the old and the young asked, ‘Is coffee soy milk? If it is soy milk, add sugar to sweet soy milk, add salt to salty soy milk, can coffee also add salt? ’ On this point, there were discussions and debates that lasted for 20 minutes, so that there was no one else around except a secretary of Xuanlu.

I have to say that Su Zhou really met his opponent this time. Although Xuan Lu is old, he has profound skills and clear thinking. When it comes to his life experience, Su Zhou is even more behind. .

The Xuanwu blood is born to control water, and Zhengguo officials also know that Su Zhou has not shown the spiritual power of the water system, so they let this veteran go out and take Su Zhou with him. In name, Su Zhou is indeed the leader of the team, but in fact he is in charge of the entire exploration plan. But it was Xuan Lu—Su Zhou was naturally not dissatisfied with this point. He didn't understand the relevant procedures, but Xuan Lu was in charge and not the leader of the team. I'm afraid there will be some knots in my heart.

It's a submersible, but it's a new model recently built. After testing, it's easy to dive even to the depths of a 10,000-meter trench, let alone a 6,000-meter seabed—if you want to dive physically, it's not impossible. , but there is already a torpedo-like ejection device on the Chilong, and you can enter the sea at any time.

Xuan Lu chuckled, and took a sip of the black sweet soy milk in the cup. Just as the Northwest Bai family with gold bloodlines shines brightly in various materials science and occupations that require sensitivity to various metal perceptions, the Xuan family naturally knows this deep-sea operation in detail, and even the submersible , are designed and manufactured by them.

The old man was quite proud of showing off his own achievements to the powerful young man in front of him: The original intention of Chilong's design is to explore other worlds or alien planets in the future, those 'extraordinary environments' that surpass the earth's environment .Its strength standard far exceeds any exploration requirements on Earth.

At this time, five multi-national scientific research ships have arrived around the Mariana Sea area, and many exploration instruments are already operating to collect relevant data from the surrounding area.

The program group in front is shooting the opening scene at this time, and the white Chilong submersible shaped like a shuttle is also being displayed, with smooth wave patterns on it, flashing light blue under the sea breeze colored water light.

From Su Zhou's point of view, what Xuanlu said is really not bragging. Leaving aside the rune structure above the submersible, the hardness of the special superalloy material alone may be comparable to or even surpassed that of Garuda. The golden feather of the main body, if he doesn't show his real strength, it's really hard to destroy.

At this moment, one could vaguely hear the opening remarks of the Zhengguo program group in the distance.

[Dragon and jade, dragon and phoenix, are synonymous with Zhengguo culture. Except for dragon and phoenix, there is no such single and long-standing totem worship in the world. Except for jade, there is no other mineral that is born with such divinity. 】

【Aura revives, the divine nature of jade has been proven. Wearing a piece of good jade on the body can condense aura, relieve fatigue, and nourish the mind. Our ancient ancestors must have discovered this, so jade As a synonym for their own civilization. 】

[But what about Dragon and Phoenix? Where did their divinity originate from? Do dragons and phoenixes really exist in this world? Where did our ancient totems come from? In ancient times, dragon and light agreed, and the word dragon and phoenix were used together. What is their true face? This question is too deep and too broad for anyone to answer. 】

[But today, we will reveal the secret of the dragon, and show everyone the true face of our totem hidden behind the history—we will unearth the ruins from the ancient times, and restore the truth of history from the scraps of the ancient ruins. 】

[Large-scale outdoor live broadcast recording program, special chapter on the relics, the relics of the ancient times, the trace of the dragon, will show you the secrets of all these. 】

[Stay tuned. 】

Next, it was time for advertising. At this time, Su Zhou and others also began to prepare for the dive. The safety monitoring of the Chilong submersible has just been confirmed by the staff, and all the accompanying personnel have put on protective equipment. .

It can be seen that several other scientific research ships from other countries also follow the corresponding procedures. They will dive into the seabed in different order. Naturally, the Zhengguo exploration team led by Su Zhou will take the lead.

The Chilong submersible is a large-scale manned submersible, which uses the spiritual power conversion battery as its energy source - this is a very mature technology that has been researched. The Shao family's Shaw Photovoltaics also did related research in this area at the beginning.

Compared with ordinary deep-sea submersibles, Chilong is very large, 18 meters long and 7 meters wide, and has the function of deep sea escape. There are twelve seats in total, including three operators, Su Zhou and Xuan Lu, and the other two. An official transcendent, a total of four people are used as military guarantees. Two people from the ruins program group are responsible for accompanying filming, and the other three are researchers, collecting underwater investigation and exploration data.

Entering the submersible, Su Zhou sat in the No. 8 seat closest to the 'extraction device'. After all, if he encounters any huge sea beast, he will immediately get out of the submersible to fight the opponent, and everyone else will do it in turn. They have all undergone relevant training and are very capable and skilled in action.

Soon, following the explanation of the program group, the hatch of Chilong closed and began to sneak in.

The white submersible was placed under the water smoothly, and then began to dive... The sun gradually disappeared, and the blue water got deeper and deeper until it turned black.

With everyone watching, and tens of millions of spectators around the world, they headed to the bottom of the ocean.
