"So, the undeserved disaster we suffered back then was actually a demonstration of the power of two civilizations, right?"
Once outside the World Wall, Shengxin reconnected with the outside world. She had spent several sleepless days researching materials to find the reasons for the destruction of her civilization, which made Shengxin appear somewhat thinner.
The reason is easy to find. There is no need to whitewash or cover up the truth. In the eyes of the Kingdom of Fixed Light and the Kilometer Arc, the destruction of a small civilization like theirs is not worth any concealment.
"In the past, the war between the kingdoms of Guang and Hu affected more than a hundred countries, of which less than one-tenth survived."
I searched through all the records I could find, and there were only a few words about the battle at that time. They didn't even pass down the name of their civilization.
"That's just how the world is, isn't it? Without standing at the highest point, even a peaceful life depends on fate."
Ajieta has been by Shengxin's side these past few days and has gained some understanding of what Shengxin is looking for.
While Shengxin was searching for documents, Ajieta was not idle either. During the many years he waited in his dream, Guapilong also passed on his cultivation method to them. Although the method was obscure and difficult to understand, it was, after all, the source of Li Xingkong's strength.
She still doesn't know just how strong Li Xingkong is.
But she knew that Li Xingkong was the strongest person she had ever met.
Now that you've learned the methods of such a powerful person, there's no reason not to work hard.
She would never allow modern civilization to fall into the same state as that of the dream world again.
If the Shengxin wants to lead everyone to find a way out, then she will be the backbone of the entire civilization.
"I had originally hoped that one day after escaping this predicament, I could revive my civilization, find the mastermind behind it all, and finally take revenge..."
Through these past few days of research, Shengxin has also come to understand just how enormous the Kingdom of Fixed Light and the Axiom Arc truly are.
Let alone now that I'm all alone, even at the height of my civilization, I couldn't withstand any one of them.
To her now, the idea of revenge seemed like a pipe dream.
Let blood and fire mix with the soil of the new civilization and continue for now.
"Miss Shengxin, are you busy?"
Just as Shengxin and Ajieta were silent, Li Xingkong's voice came from outside the door.
"What can I do for you, traveler?"
Shengxin quickly composed herself, composed herself, forced a smile, and then opened the door.
"After such a long journey, we've finally crossed the World Wall. As for the future, Guapilong and I plan to continue our travels around the Axiom Arc. It wouldn't have been a problem to bring you along, but with so many people in our civilization, we need a place to settle down. Traveling around with a ship is actually a bit inappropriate."
Li Xingkong walked in, and Guapilong sat on his shoulders.
"So, I was thinking, why don't I lend you this Heavenly Palace Above the Clouds temporarily, so you can take everyone back to the Kingdom of Fixed Light, find a more stable star system, settle down, and start developing?"
Upon hearing Li Xingkong's words, Shengxin hurriedly waved her hands repeatedly.
She knew what the Heavenly Palace Above the Clouds was for the moment she stepped onto the ship. It was far too expensive for her to be qualified to board, not even back then, let alone now.
Not to mention that Li Xingkong was going to lend her the boat.
It was less of a loan and more of a gift. The universe is so vast, and after they parted ways, who knows when they would meet again? Perhaps this parting would be their last in this lifetime, so how could they talk about repaying it?
"No, that won't do. I can't lend you this boat."
I already have favors I can't repay; if I add this boat to that, I'll be even more unable to repay them.
A small favor is appreciated, but a large one breeds resentment; if she were to continue lending, she would be truly afraid.
"Of course, I didn't lend you the boat for free; I also have my own ulterior motives."
Li Xingkong thought for a moment and immediately came up with an idea.
"You may not know this, but I do have a real problem right now, and I need someone to help me. This requires quite a few people, and neither Guapilong nor I are up to the task. I'm not entirely comfortable leaving it to anyone else."
"Yes... is that so? Then please tell me. If there's anything I can do to help, I'll go through fire and water for you!"
Upon hearing that Li Xingkong could use him, the Shengxin immediately perked up.
"That's right, for some reason, I need a group of believers."
Li Xingkong was thinking of was none other than the conditions for Name-Calling Rebirth Technique.
Relying solely on Baili Qiu's server promotion is indeed somewhat slow, but now that we've encountered Shengxin, it's just right.
This is what she originally did. Having served as a deity in the dream world for so many years, she is quite familiar with religion. In addition, her original team is basically complete. It is likely that after she establishes her own country, she will also follow the path of establishing a religious state.
This perfectly aligned with Li Xingkong's needs; he was looking for an assistant skilled in religious matters to help him spread the word about the Name-Calling Rebirth Technique more widely.
"And you, being a theocratic civilization, should naturally be more adept at this."
Shengxin initially thought Li Xingkong say something, but after hearing what he said, she immediately felt reassured.
This is her old profession, so there's naturally no problem with her doing it. Besides, her papacy is still there, and the original staff is all there, so developing believers is a piece of cake.
"Of course! Absolutely no problem!"
Being able to help Li Xingkong, and with such a favor at that, immediately lessened Shengxin's worries.
Sometimes it's like that; a relationship is one of give and take, while giving without receiving is just charity.
"In that case, you absolutely must borrow this ship. Without a presentable appearance, you can't spread your faith effectively."
Li Xingkong laughed, then he pointed, and a strange machine appeared beside him.
It looks like a box, with a light about half the size of a palm flashing on its top.
"This thing is the machine for making religious emblems. You pour the materials into the box, and it will generate an emblem. Then, all the believers need to do is wear it and pray frequently."
"With it, I can hear you whenever you call my name, and you can call me immediately if there's any danger."
Li Xingkong casually picked up a gold coin and tossed it into the box. After the box operated for a while, the gold coin quickly changed shape and became a small pendant.
This pendant is none other than the trigger mechanism for Li Xingkong's Name-Calling Rebirth Technique.
With this device, even without a server, Li Xingkong can sense the corresponding person and location.
A cunning rabbit has three burrows; how could Li Xingkong possibly entrust the resurrection to the server alone?
