Chapter 9: It Is Better to Live a Glorious Life than to Linger On

At this moment, the eyes of the cocoon breakers were all focused on the two of them.

Especially the students from Fengcheng No. 2 Middle School, who heard the talk about high-level talents when they were taken away from the hall, and looked at the two with disbelief.

"Sister Anna, is that Lu Buer?" A female classmate asked timidly.

"I didn't expect that he was also a cocoon breaker. I remember that he was in the late stage of cancer back then, right? After coming to the new world, with such advanced technology in the future, maybe the disease can be cured. But... can he be a high-level talent? Impossible." Another classmate whispered.

Anna also stared at the two teenagers suspiciously.

These female classmates have always been gossipy in school, and they also know that there is a junior in the lower grade who has a terminal illness and will soon die. Because he is good-looking and has good grades, he was once very popular.

But most people know his family background and physical condition, and gradually distance themselves from him.

But now is different from the past.

The fate of many people will change in five hundred years.

Is he really a high-level talent?

"Father, the two high-level talents are the few good seedlings in this batch, and they are probably the last batch after winter. Now there are 800 high-level talents in Linhai."

Qingmu smiled and said, "Please lead them to comprehend the sacred rhythm."

He Sai muttered, "What is the sacred rhythm?"

"Stupid, it's equivalent to a skill!"

Lu Buer whispered, "We want to be supermen too."

When the two of them stood in front of the sacred intelligent body, they were a little nervous.

The old priest glanced at them deeply and explained calmly, "The sacred rhythm is an opportunity to step from ordinary to extraordinary, and it is also the key to embarking on the road of evolution. That is your most core talent, perhaps a gift that others can't get even if they work hard for a lifetime. You should cherish it."

To be honest, the old priest's attitude towards them has obviously improved a lot.

"The principle of the sacred rhythm is that humans imitate the breathing and heartbeat of the sacred tree, promote the spiritual evolution of the self, and then squeeze your whole body cells to stimulate the process of life energy."

The old priest turned around, faced the sacred wisdom body, and uttered a strange syllable.

The sacred wisdom body trembled out of thin air, and a burning ancient tree appeared in the crystal. The sound of breathing and heartbeat sounded in the silence, like the sound of nature.

Lu Buer's mind was roaring, as if he was shocked by the pressure coming at him. The world in front of him was shrouded in endless brilliance, and only the ancient sacred tree rose from the ground.

In his sight, the ancient tree seemed to have breathing and heartbeats, like a holy angel dancing gracefully, stepping on a strange rhythm, and ascending to heaven step by step!

In just a moment, his pupils were also reflected in brilliant gold, his whole body trembled violently, twitching wildly in an unconscious state, and he knelt on the ground in pain.

The young boy, who was originally tender and delicate, now looked more majestic than he should have, and even a little ferocious.

He Sai's eyes were also the same golden color. He fell to his knees with a plop, suppressing a cry of pain in his throat.

"Will something happen?"

Officer An was a little worried. These two children were his companions in adversity. After experiencing life and death, they naturally established some feelings.

It is of course a good thing to be a high-energy talent and have better treatment.

He will not be jealous.

But he knows very well that there is no free lunch in the world.

There must be gains and losses. Many people will envy others' brilliant achievements or happy lives, but ignore the painful price they pay behind the scenes.

Even if you don't pay anything, there must be others who pay for you.

If you are treated well, you must do things.

"Old An, if these two children can survive, will they be able to reach the sky in one step?" Boss Zhang looked up at the two teenagers and couldn't help asking.

"I don't know. Based on my experience of reading novels in my previous life, they may be equivalent to inner courtyard disciples, and we are the chores of the outer courtyard?"

Qingmu's eyes became solemn, and his frown showed that he was not calm in his heart. Of course, he didn't care about the life and death of the two brothers in front of him, but he cared about his own merits.

He didn't tell these new cocoon breakers many things.

According to the analysis of the sacred wisdom body, every century needs a group of sufficiently excellent cocoon breakers to carry the banner of the times. After this task falls to the grassroots, it is equivalent to the performance assessment of the search and rescue team. They must regularly search for some good seedlings and send them to the top.

The performance of the team led by Qingmu has not yet reached the standard.

If it is not qualified, not only will it not be able to get merits, but it will even be punished.

In the silence, rhythmic breathing and heartbeats can be faintly heard.

The two young men in front of the hall finally stopped trembling and convulsing. Their breathing and heartbeats tended to be consistent, as if they were in line with some ancient rhythm, and finally gradually disappeared.

Seeing this scene, Qingmu showed a satisfied smile on his lips.

I was right.

For Lu Buer, it was like he had a long dream. The world in the dream collapsed and shattered, with only a burning ancient tree illuminating the darkness. His breathing and heartbeat were so fascinating, as if they contained the truth of the universe or the secret of the world.

Just as he was immersed in this melody, his right palm suddenly beat.

The seed of the gods he had merged actually beat strongly at this moment!

It was like the soul hidden in the darkness awakened, and the breathing and heartbeat revived together.

A completely different rhythm, no longer solemn and solemn, but violent and agitated.

The ancient tree in Lu Buer's dream collapsed and burned, and the black ashes were blown up by the wind, dancing gracefully like a devil. His breathing and heartbeat were so strong, like the fetal movement of hell!

It was simply a nightmare.

The old priest in the temple felt that the two teenagers had entered the state, nodded slightly and said: "Yes, they are indeed high-level talents suitable for fighting. They have become accustomed to and remembered this melody. When they enter the rhythmic state during meditation, they can complete the awakening."

The two brothers woke up as if from a dream, breathing heavily.

Anna and the female classmates around her opened their mouths in surprise.

I didn't expect that they were really high-level talents.

It's a step to heaven...

They felt a little sour in their hearts.

It seemed that at this moment, the classmates who were once in the same school were separated by two worlds.

"It's just..."

The old priest hesitated to say: "Lu Buer's physical fitness is still good, but his nutrition is relatively lacking, and he needs to be carefully taken care of in the future. He Sai, according to the divine revelation I received, I can understand your desire for the opposite sex during your adolescence, but for your physical and mental health, try not to browse those contents as much as possible, especially yourself, you need to be restrained..."

Lu Buer turned his head silently and looked at his childhood friend.

He Sai's face was ashen, and he suddenly felt that it would be better to die in the land of the afterlife.

At this moment, a hunchbacked old man in a black robe walked in from outside the hall, leaning on a cane, and said hoarsely: "Captain Qingmu, I heard that there are newcomers who need to have their memories cleared?"

"Mr. Heishan, you are here."

Qingmu hummed: "Those two high-level species, and these guys..."

Officer An, Boss Zhang and others had no idea what was going on. They just felt that the old man in the black robe was cold and weird, like an old wizard in a fairy tale, which was chilling.

Mr. Heishan just glanced at them coldly, stood in front of the statue at the end of the hall, bathed in the glow of the sacred wisdom body, and took out a pocket watch from his pocket.

He flicked the pocket watch lightly, and the hour hand started to move.

The cocoon breakers in the hall all heard a sharp sound, as if a steel needle had pierced deep into their brains, and their short-term memories became mottled and broken, as if they were torn apart alive.

Lu Buer and He Sai were also affected. When they recovered from the overwhelming hallucinations, their brains hurt as if they were stabbed by a knife, and they were covered in cold sweat.

After a slight loss of consciousness, they felt that they seemed to have forgotten something.

But they couldn't remember it at all.

Only Lu Buer thought of the devil in his dream and seemed to recall something.

He looked at his palm, doubtful.

The thing he merged was called the Seed of God.

What on earth was it?

Mr. Heishan glanced at them, and after confirming that the memories that shouldn't have been cleared, he left tremblingly with his cane, and before leaving, he lowered his voice and said, "Aoki."

Aoki's expression changed.

"That adult wants to see you."

After saying that, Mr. Heishan turned and left, never staying again.

Aoki's eyes flashed with a strange light, and he bowed slightly and watched the old man leave.

"Congratulations, you are about to enter the extraordinary realm. Remember God's gift and the sacred rhythm. When you are extremely angry and desperate, you can awaken yourself." The old priest bent down and put a golden badge on them.

After Lu Buer and the others calmed down, the sacred rhythm in the dream seemed to have been engraved in their hearts and deeply engraved in their memories. They couldn't forget it even if they wanted to.

Perhaps from this moment on, they are evolvers.

Lu Buer was silent for a moment, and suddenly thought of the mechanical prompt sound that sounded in his mind when he merged the Seed of the God, and the authority of the dark matter had not been unlocked.

At present, Lu Buer has mastered the method of evolution, which is equivalent to the authority to open the Seed of the God, but if he stays in the city, he will not be able to contact the White Walkers.

The Seed of the God will have no place to use.

Don't assign me a civilian position, right?

The old priest continued, "With great power comes great responsibility. As the two of you who are about to embark on the road of evolution, you are the guardians of the new world. You naturally have to take on the obligation to protect the peace and stability of the human world. Serving in the military is a must for every evolver."

"You will go to the Third City Guard Base to join the army and guard Wuzhen west of the western suburbs. It is close to the life restricted area centered on Fengcheng. There are a large number of aliens in that mountain range, and they often invade this city."

He paused: "Therefore, your living environment as a recruit is very difficult, but it is also the fastest way to accumulate merit. Only the truly strong can stand out from it."

Everyone was surprised.

So this is the price to pay for high-level talents.

They have the privilege of evolution and they have to join the army on the front line.

"High-level talents are combatants. Medium-level talents can also become combatants after assessment and training. As for low-level talents, there is hope. In the new world, only combatants are qualified to evolve, but... high-level talents also have high and low levels."

Qingmu smiled and said: "For example, I am much stronger than you."

This also means that the teenagers have to go to the battlefield.

Fight with those ghosts!

He Sai was obviously scared.

Lu Buer was looking forward to it. He was still worried that he would not be able to open the seed of the gods in his body because he could not contact the white walkers. Now, the opportunity has come!

"It is for both mankind and you. Only by being on the battlefield can you quickly accumulate merits. Otherwise, when you go further and further on the road of evolution... you will not live for many years."

The old priest's words sounded like thunder in the ears of the teenagers.

"What do you mean?"

He Sai murmured, "You will not live for many years?"

This sentence certainly stimulated Lu Buer. Since he woke up, he has been looking forward to the new civilization because there may be new methods here to cure his disease.

But after hearing what the old priest said, his heart sank slightly.

"I have explained the principle of the sacred rhythm to you. The essence is to accelerate cell division. The human body has its limits. Without external interference, each cell division will shorten the telomeres of the chromosomes, and you will become older and older."

The old priest said calmly: "After entering the extraordinary realm, every increase in strength means accelerated cell division, and your aging speed will be very fast."

Lu Buer finally knew why those soldiers outside were so old. It turned out that this was the side effect of the sacred rhythm. Even this old priest might not be as old as his actual age.

"Only the unique divine tree marrow fluid of the military can replenish the life energy of the cocoon breakers, maintain normal vital signs and life limit, and return to youth. However, the divine tree marrow fluid must accumulate enough contributions to be eligible for redemption."

The old priest said indifferently: "For example, Qingmu only exchanged for six bottles, and he is only 29 years old, but he looks close to middle age. This is his own choice. You can also not practice deeply, stay in the first stage, and lose two or three years of life at most, waiting to retire and transfer. Most people choose this."

He Sai's mood suddenly fell to the bottom. Not long ago, he still yearned to have extraordinary power, just like Superman in the movie, saving the world.

But he never thought that the sacred rhythm would make people age prematurely.

According to the old priest, the divine tree marrow fluid is something you need to fight to exchange, and you need to make outstanding contributions and accumulate merits.

Otherwise, you will stay in the military until you retire.

No practice, no evolution.

Get the minimum living allowance and wait for transfer.

Most people do this to save their lives.

This provides you with two choices.

Either embark on an evolutionary path between life and death.

Or give up and live until you are transferred to another job.

"No way..."

He Sai knew one thing very well.

Brother Lu's body could never bear it.

He... didn't have much time left.

Even if he entered the extraordinary realm, it was still an inevitable dead end for him.

In the silent hall, Lu Buer had a blank expression on his face, and his eyes were neither sad nor happy.

"Will you continue to linger after five hundred years?"

He thought it might not be the case.

Because he thought of one thing.

He is a cancer patient. If cancer cells can also squeeze out life energy through the sacred rhythm, then he will not lose his life.

Especially when the seed of the gods drilled into his body, the mechanical sound of the metal shell also indicated that a special diseased body was found, and that's why he was chosen.

If this is the hidden prop that his parents said, then it will involve the ultimate secret of this world, and even a huge catastrophe.

This means that the world is not peaceful, and something big is likely to happen in the near future. He must find a way to protect himself and use this item to become stronger.

I said before that the style of this book will not be very depressing, so don't worry, take your time~
