The Edge of Pure Land

Chapter 8: Judgment of the Divine Intelligence

Boss Zhang held his daughter and cried for a long time, and then he was surrounded by a group of soldiers. Some people checked the information of the father and daughter and said something to them earnestly.

Then Boss Zhang came back wiping his tears.

"Huh?"

Lu Buer was stunned: "Why is this?"

He Sai asked curiously: "Old Zhang, why was your daughter taken away."

Boss Zhang scratched his head, not knowing how to explain.

"The Federation has very strict protection for orphans. You have to complete identity authentication and paternity testing before you can go to recognize your relatives. That little girl is not an ordinary person now, she is a reserve soldier."

Aoki glanced at Boss Zhang and said lightly: "Five hundred years have passed in a flash. Some people have turned over a new leaf, but some have fallen into hell. Her daughter is lucky. She was selected as a military reserve to be trained. She is here just because she is visiting and learning. When she is old enough, she is likely to become a high-level talent and become a soldier in the military."

That's right, everyone reacted. If you don't do identity authentication and paternity testing, who knows what your relationship is, even if the information in the database cannot guarantee 100% accuracy, you still have to be cautious about things related to minors.

"Military, soldier?"

Everyone was confused.

Qingmu was a little impatient. This was his job, so he had to patiently explain: "If you have the talent for evolution, you will have to join the military sooner or later. In the new era, everyone with the talent for evolution must serve in the army to protect the stability and peace of the human world. What kind of life you can live after retirement basically depends on your contribution during your service."

He paused: "I used to serve in the military, and became a judge after retirement. This is because my talent is limited and I can't see higher scenery. Those real strong people guard the pure land of the human world, fight against the powerful wild gods, can witness the most spectacular scenery in the world, and enjoy the power above the secular world."

The accompanying judges laughed and said: "Although there are so many evolvers now, every household may have a few. But rich people don't mind adopting a few more talented children to support them in their practice. Generally speaking, they are very valuable."

For this group of cocoon breakers, these judges are already strong enough.

But this is still poor talent.

Especially Lu Buer had some yearning.

This place might be able to cure his illness.

Boss Zhang didn't bring his daughter back, mainly because he is not stable now. It is better to let his daughter stay in the military as a reserve, and there is a bright future.

Although he is of course happy that his daughter has a good future, it is too dangerous for a little girl to be trained in the military and fight those white walkers in the future. As a father, he is still a little worried, so he wants to do something to help as much as possible.

"So that's it."

Officer An also understood.

In today's world, the most valuable thing is the evolver.

Under the control of the law enforcers, the citizens who swarmed in to find their relatives quickly dispersed. A cold mechanical sound rang out in the empty terminal. Drones were hovering in all directions, and the camera was aimed at each of them: "The 583274th batch of cocoon breakers are allowed to pass."

As the law enforcers left, the door of the terminal opened with a bang, and the bright and dazzling sunlight hit them in the face. The new world broke into their sight in the most tough way.

At this moment, Lu Buer felt a kind of confusion like a time travel.

Not only him, but his companions were also shocked.

The passengers boarded taxis or buses and left in a hurry, leaving only the cocoon breakers standing there in a daze, as if they were lost in this new world.

Office workers on the roadside walked quickly, traffic on the zebra crossing whizzed past, rails roared under the viaduct, transparent corridors crisscrossed in the air, and helicopters occasionally flew by. The glass curtain walls of skyscrapers reflected the sunlight, but did not reflect any traces of the past.

Ancient sacred tree sculptures can be seen everywhere, and the old clock tower seems to have experienced a hundred years of vicissitudes.

In front of them is a gravel road leading to a pyramid-like triangular building. Its surface is bright gold and flowing with mysterious and complex patterns.

This road is guarded by soldiers with live ammunition. Priests and nuns stand in the middle of the road and say with a smile: "Welcome to Linhai City, cocoon breakers."

Lu Buer said suspiciously: "What is this? A welcome ceremony?"

Everyone was also confused.

"We are going to take you to the Awakening Temple. Every cocoon-breaker will undergo a test of the divine body of wisdom. The main purpose is to detect your evolution. If you are not suitable for evolution for the time being, you will be allowed to reintegrate into society based on your strengths and abilities. Of course, you can refuse God's guidance. This is your own freedom."

Aoki held a cigarette in his mouth and said lightly: "Be prepared."

·

·

Along the way, Aoki helped them explain the changes in this era. It sounds like the difference from five hundred years ago is not particularly big. The past international order is still maintained, but the world of evolvers is maintained by an alliance called the Supreme Federation.

This is a global super league that supervises the evolutionists.

After all, the evolutionists have extraordinary powers. If this power is not restricted, it will inevitably cause great damage to the world.

The Aurora Technology, which opened the road to evolution, has transformed into a religion called the Akasha Holy Religion. The reason for this is that they worship the tree of life that changed the world and can leverage the power of the sacred tree to bless people.

It can drive away disasters, cure diseases and injuries, improve productivity, avoid natural disasters and life disasters, and help humans fight against the aliens who invaded this world.

Because the Akasha Holy Religion is really useful and does not harm or cheat people, it is widely accepted by the world, but the number of believers who really believe in it is not large, mainly because they are not keen on recruiting believers, but are particularly strict about the link of absorbing new members, for fear that someone with ill intentions will come and cause trouble.

After the cocoon breakers wake up, they must undergo the examination of the sacred wisdom of the Akasha Holy Church according to convention. First, they will determine whether your own evolution is suitable for practice, and then arrange for you to start your life again and integrate into society according to your expertise.

What the Akasha Holy Church does is to assist in maintaining the order of the world of evolvers. As for whether you believe in religion or not, that is your own business and has nothing to do with them.

In front of the pyramid-like temple is a priest in a white robe. He holds a torch high and prays devoutly: "My Father is in heaven, may your name be holy, your country be present, and your will be fulfilled."

The priests and nuns also perform religious rituals, devoutly and respectfully.

Only the cocoon breakers are at a loss, numbly walking through the gravel road guarded by the soldiers.

Lu Buer keenly discovered that these soldiers generally look older, some are bald, some have wrinkles on their faces, or are hunched over.

"Are they recruiting old men?"

He Sai, a good young man in the 21st century who respects the elderly and loves the young, was shocked.

"Heh."

Aoki walked in front and said without looking back: "They are not old men. Some of them are even the same age as you. Don't gloat over their misfortunes. Maybe one day you will become like them... This is the price of evolution."

Everyone was surprised, but didn't understand what he meant.

The soldiers didn't react to their arrival.

It was as if they saw themselves back then.

The old priest in white opened the door of the temple for them, and the golden glow came to their faces.

The feeling of pilgrimage was like the golden ancient tree seen in the land of rebirth. In the temple, there was a holy and flawless angel. His hands held a huge golden crystal. The angular crystal reflected brilliant light like a mirror, like the rising sun.

"It is an honor to see the divine wisdom body."

The old priest made a cross on his chest and prayed devoutly.

For the first time, Qingmu put away his playful attitude and showed his piety and respect.

"Sacred wisdom body..."

Lu Buer had heard this term more than once. It seems that what is enshrined in this temple is not the so-called angel, but the huge golden crystal, which is the sacred wisdom body.

About thirty people stood in the hall. Their clothes were ragged, covered with blood and dirt, and their expressions were confused and hesitant. Obviously, they were also cocoon breakers who had just arrived in the new world.

Lu Buer found that their classmates were among this group of cocoon breakers.

There was a school bully from the fourth class next door who majored in sports, a beautiful senior sister who was famous for piano and ballet, and a class monitor from their seventh class, including several wealthy second-generation dandies, and even an old senior who had graduated and entered university two years ago.

Unexpectedly, everyone woke up at about the same time, and they all gathered here.

The group of cocoon breakers obviously also realized their arrival. After looking back, they all had strange emotions in their eyes, but they all restrained themselves.

The divine wisdom body was suspended in the air and rotated. The crystal actually showed complex and fine lines, like the stripes of nerves or networks, reflecting everyone's face.

Lu Buer's pupils shrank slightly, because the lines that emerged from the divine wisdom body were indeed the symbol of the former Aurora Technology, which made him feel that his parents' research was not simple.

Judging from the performance of Qingmu and others, they were in awe of the so-called divine wisdom body like worshiping gods.

"May the great divine wisdom body, the wisdom of the Kabbalah Tree, guide us in the direction of progress." The old priest knelt on the ground, staring at the divine wisdom body suspended in the air, and his pupils actually showed a strange golden color.

He spasmed all over, as if he was electrocuted.

However, whether it was Qingmu, his subordinates, or the priests present.

They were indifferent to this.

"The wisdom of the Kabbalah Tree? Why does it sound like artificial intelligence?" Lu Buer was a little suspicious, but it was difficult to say anything in this situation.

"I have received divine revelation and sensed God's will."

After a long time, the old priest finally stopped convulsing, and his pupils gradually returned to normal. He said in an old voice: "Everyone, I will follow God's guidance and show you the way forward."

The old priest turned around and his eyes fell on a young man: "Gao Li, you are temporarily considered to have low talent. You are ignorant and bully your classmates in school. You have not learned anything except doing evil. Your only talent is strong physical fitness. The logistics team can realize your self-worth."

The school bully was stunned: "Why should I go to work hard?"

"No! You obviously took my watch!"

He wanted to fight for himself: "Can I not go?"

The old priest nodded: "Yes, but your parents did not choose to be sealed in the cocoon. They gave birth to a boy and a girl again five hundred years ago and spent their lives peacefully. And you are ignorant and have achieved nothing. If you go out to find a job alone, you will probably be beaten by society."

The school bully looked ashen.

"Anna, tentatively set as low-level talent, music and dance are your talents, but your art exam results were obtained by cheating. It is difficult for you to become an evolver, so you have to continue on the path of art. We will arrange for you to return to school and continue studying. Your parents are still sleeping in the cocoon, and they have been initially awakened. It is expected that they will end their sleep in half a month and reunite with you."

The eyes of the beautiful senior sister changed. It is naturally a good thing to be reunited with her parents again, but she cheated in the art exam five hundred years ago.

How could the divine wisdom body know!

Is this a god?

"Zhou Heng, tentatively set as medium talent, fishing is your talent, but you are very experienced in fish farming. It is recommended that you go to the rare fish breeding institute to realize your self-worth. You have the potential to fight, and you can obtain the right to evolve in time."

"Your parents and brother are all sleeping in the cocoon, and they have been initially awakened. It is expected that they will end their sleep in half a month and reunite with you."

Hearing this, the person in question blushed.

Although this job sounds much better than what he had five hundred years ago, it is a personal insult to him!

"Lin Xiu, tentatively determined to be of medium talent, civil engineering is your talent, you have excellent academic qualifications and knowledge reserves, and your talent in the fields of architecture and construction is very good..."

The old senior's eyes lit up, and it was obvious that his value was the highest!

Five hundred years ago, he despised the profession, but now it has finally turned over!

However, the old priest's next sentence was:

"West City's ash-making can realize your self-worth."

"In time, you can also obtain the right to evolve."

"Your sister is still sleeping in the cocoon. She has been initially awakened and is expected to end her hibernation in half a month and reunite with you."

Under the judgment of the old priest, the work of the cocoon breakers has been assigned.

Some people rely on their talents but fall into the dust, while others seem mediocre, but get the career that others dream of.

Everyone accepted this arrangement.

The school bully was helpless.

It would be best if Anna could return to school.

Whether it was the dredging fairy or the dredging holy body, they had no objection.

It is worth mentioning that among this group of cocoon breakers, there was a young man who was told that his first love chose to seal up his property and sleep in the cocoon five hundred years ago, waiting for him to wake up.

This made the young man burst into tears on the spot. This romantic love that spanned five hundred years made everyone present jealous.

Especially Lu Buer and He Sai, who were so angry that they gnashed their teeth.

The orphan group expressed strong dissatisfaction.

At this time, a young man was escorted by soldiers passing by the temple, shouting: "I am a high-level talent! What's wrong with me taking away the resources of those low-level talents? You can't deprive me of my rights! I don't want to be a low-level talent! My position cannot be given to them!"

The hysterical roar gradually faded away.

The faculty in this temple is accustomed to this. Nowadays, many soldiers in the military will experience this kind of rating change. The counterattack from low to high is certainly ecstatic, but the fall from high to low is unacceptable.

Only the new batch of cocoon breakers looked at each other in bewilderment. It seemed that even if they had high talents and committed crimes here, they would be demoted and would not have any privileges.

In other words, this assessment was only temporary, and everyone would have a chance to turn things around in the future. Of course, the worst case scenario was that they might not even be able to keep their current rating.

Lu Buer and He Sai didn't know where they would be assigned.

Even if they were likely to join the army, there were differences in the types of soldiers.

There was a difference between raising pigs in the kitchen and being a soldier in the special forces.

They were both orphans, without parents who sealed up their property and waited for their children to wake them up.

There was no first love who was so affectionate and loyal that he would sleep for five hundred years just to reunite with you.

Damn, when I thought of this, my mentality was a little unbalanced.

"It's your turn."

Qingmu turned around and said lightly.

Under the guidance of the priests, everyone was ready to step forward to accept the judgment of fate with trepidation. Only Lu Buer and He Sai were taken away alone and led to the front of the sacred wisdom body.

Thanks to xmukmb for being the leader, the boss is very generous! I have no more drafts saved, I will update later slowly!
