Chapter 359: Brave or Devil?

Shen Cheng told Tian Xuanxing all about his experiences after entering the parallel world. There was nothing to hide from his only ally.

After listening to it, Tianxuanxing suddenly realized that it was no wonder that the research on Xiao Qingque had not been going smoothly.

It turns out that she is the reincarnation of the Eternal Emperor. No wonder she can solve the sequelae of the Eternal Blood. After all, it is her own blood.

"Can you get me some of Xiao Qingque's blood? Especially after she transformed."

The research target suddenly became the legendary Eternal Emperor, and Tianxuanxing became even more interested.

"sure!"

Shen Cheng agreed, but then jokingly said, "Then what are the benefits of me helping you with your work?"

"You can enjoy all the results of my research. Isn't that a benefit?"

"Let me see your face."

"No."

Seeing her refusal, Shen Cheng did not force her: "There is one more thing. I already know why your Stargazing Club is hostile and suppressed by various governments."

Tianxuanxing suddenly became interested: "What is it?"

The Stargazing Club once recorded why it was suppressed by various governments, but later due to unrest, the record of this matter was lost.

Shen Cheng told her about the existence of the Lord of the Sky and the destruction of the civilization cycle.

After listening, Tianxuanxing was silent for a long time.

No one who hears that civilization will eventually be destroyed will treat it as if nothing happened.

Over the past few hundred years, the technological progress of various countries has actually slowed down, as if there is an invisible hand restraining it in secret.

But this restriction will not have much effect, because the three survivors of the Eternal Emperor did not publicize the destruction of civilization, so governments will not openly restrict the development of science and technology, especially since Bai Jun and the other two had been encouraging the advancement of science and technology.

As long as the civilization on the surface shows signs of setting foot in the starry sky, the Lord of the Sky will immediately destroy it.

"I have calculated that with the current rate of technological advancement, in about twenty years we will be able to launch manned spacecraft to explore the surrounding planets."

Tian Xuanxing suddenly spoke, stroking Shen Cheng's hand that was pressed on her chest: "I will find a way to notify the other leaders of the Stargazing Club and ask them to temporarily stop exploring the starry sky."

Shen Cheng asked: "Will you tell them the truth?"

Tian Xuanxing shook his head: "No, I know the people in the Stargazing Club very well. They are arrogant and conceited. If they knew the existence of the Lord of the Sky, they would be more enthusiastic about exploring the starry sky."

Shen Cheng laughed: "According to what you said, the governments' suppression of the stargazing clubs is correct?"

"You can say that."

From an impartial standpoint, Tianxuanxing gave an accurate evaluation: "We are a group of people who are willing to risk our lives to pursue the truth. There are brave men like Black Agate who sacrifice themselves for the world, and there are also devils who don't care about moral ethics or the end of the world, and only want to explore the truth."

Shen Cheng didn't expect Tianxuanxing to say such impartial words.

"So are you a hero or a devil?"

"I am, without a doubt..."

The sudden sound of the door opening interrupted the second half of Tianxuanxing's sentence.

Bai Qiu Ning came out of the bathroom and saw Shen Cheng and Tian Xuanxing standing a little far away, as if they were two strangers.

She didn't notice anything unusual and asked Shen Cheng, "When did you come back?"

"just now."

Shen Cheng walked over to Bai Qiuning and grabbed her arm: "Come on, take a shower with me."

Bai Qiuning's voice was full of doubt: "Can't you see that I just washed?"

"I know, but we have to wash it later, so why not wash it together?"

Bai Qiuning understood what he meant and readily agreed.

"Wait a moment."

Tianxuanxing suddenly called out to Shen Cheng and threw something over.

Shen Cheng raised his hand to catch it and found that what Tianxuanxing threw over was a bracelet.

"Didn't you do me a favor just now? This is the favor I'm giving you, put it on."

Shen Cheng didn’t feel that there was anything special about this bracelet, but it was the first gift Tianxuanxing gave him, so it was of great significance.

"Thanks."

He put on the bracelet and returned to the bathroom with Bai Qiuning.

After the two left, Tianxuanxing turned around and returned to his bedroom, preparing to change his underwear, otherwise it would be too sticky and uncomfortable.

……

Shen Cheng specifically asked Xiao Qingque for some blood and provided it to Tianxuanxing for research.

Xiao Qingque also stayed in the Astrology Palace. Since Shen Cheng and Yan Qiuli were both there, she didn't have to run back to the capital to face Yan Yin's face that always wanted her to work overtime.

Shen Cheng also gave himself a few days off. All his purposes for coming to the Eternal Empire had been accomplished. He didn't need to do anything else for the time being and could rest for a few more days.

Later, he might make a trip to the Dragon Realm to search for more dragon blood and raise his strength to the legendary level.

Even though the threat from the Lord of the Sky weighs heavily on my heart like a mountain, that is at least several decades away. There is no need to worry too much about it now. I should focus on strengthening myself first.

Just like now.

Shen Cheng lay on the bed, looking at Xiao Qingque sitting on him, feeling very, very fulfilled.

I don’t know when it started, but the two of them have become accustomed to this matter. Sometimes Shen Cheng goes to find Xiao Qingque, and sometimes Xiao Qingque comes to find him, and Xiao Qingque takes the initiative more often.

Not only that, ever since the Eternal Emperor's memory was revived, Xiao Qingque has particularly liked to transform into the Eternal Emperor's appearance, which has also brought a strong stimulation to Shen Cheng.

After the warm-up, Xiao Qingque shouted outside the bedroom: "Come in quickly."

There was no movement outside the bedroom, so Xiao Qingque could only raise his voice: "If you don't come in, then I'll leave."

The bedroom door slowly opened, and Ning Qing walked in with an embarrassed look on her face. She glanced at the two people on the bed, then immediately lowered her head.

She was not the kind of person who was easily shy or restrained, and she had tried her best to cooperate in the threesome before. But now Xiao Qingque's identity had changed to the Eternal Emperor, and Ning Qing was too awed by her in her heart, so naturally she could not let go.

Seeing her like this, Xiao Qingque knew that persuasion was useless, so he simply commanded her, "Take off all your clothes and come up."

Ning Qing could not disobey Xiao Qingque's order, so she could only take off her clothes with a red face, and then slowly walked towards the bed with a look of being ready to die.

Xiao Qingque chuckled and rubbed his hands excitedly.

Before, when she bullied Ning Qing, she only did so briefly and did not dare to go too far for fear of making Ning Qing angry.

Now Ning Qing didn't dare to get angry at all. Xiao Qingque could finally try some of the postures she learned from the books and pornographic texts.

Seeing Xiao Qingque's excitement, Shen Cheng even had an illusion that it was not him who made Xiao Qingque and Ning Qing sleep together, but Xiao Qingque who made him and Ning Qing sleep together.

During the few days of rest in the rental house, Shen Cheng was completely immersed in a decadent life. It was not until a week later that he received a message from Du Tianming, asking him to meet somewhere.

Shen Cheng did not rush to the appointment, but summoned back Jin Xing and the other two who were doing something outside.

"Last time you lost to me, you dragged me into your spiritual space. Can you do it again to Bai Jun and Qin Hao now?"

As soon as Jin Xing entered the door, he heard Shen Cheng asking this question at the same time, and he was completely stunned.

She thought Shen Cheng still hated her for what she had done before, so she put her hands together and begged for mercy: "I admit defeat, please stop messing with me, okay?"

Shen Cheng patted her shoulder with a smile: "Don't worry, I just want to ask you for help with something."

Jin Xing was skeptical and could only do as Shen Cheng instructed.

After making preparations, Shen Cheng left the taxi and came to the place where he had agreed to meet Du Tianming.

After not seeing him for many days, Du Tianming was still dressed simply and was fishing by the lake.

Shen Cheng used alchemy to create a fishing rod, sat next to Du Tianming, and went fishing with him.

"I thought you were only interested in experiments and conspiracies, but I didn't expect you were interested in fishing."

“This is my only hobby.”

"I understand. It's the path every middle-aged man will take."

The two chatted for a few words, then fell silent again and fished quietly.

I don’t know if there are no fish in the lake, or if the aura they give off is too dangerous, but after fishing for half a day, I didn’t catch a single fish.

Shen Cheng's face looked a little ugly. He could walk around the Eternal Empire so freely, but he couldn't catch anything when fishing.

If Du Tianming hadn't been here, Shen Cheng might have just drained all the water from the pot.

"What on earth do you want to ask me to come for?"

I felt that I had lost interest in fishing, so I turned to Du Tianming and asked, "You didn't just ask me to go fishing, did you?"

Du Tianming stared at the fishing float below: "Are you interested in the detailed information of the Life Court?"

Shen Cheng said softly: "Just say what you want to say, I'm listening."

There was a hint of surprise in Du Tianming's eyes. He didn't understand why Shen Cheng seemed to have lost interest in the Life Court?

He didn't know that after Shen Cheng learned from Xiao Qingque that Tianguan was a survivor of the previous civilization, his interest in the Life Tribunal diminished a lot. The only thing he wanted to know was why he looked exactly like Tianguan.

Now that Du Tianming wants to say it now, Shen Cheng will definitely not stop him.

"That Tianguan who looks exactly like you, although I have never seen him, I still know a little about him."

After a brief moment of surprise, Du Tianming began to narrate in a calm tone: "Tianguan has actually lived for a long time, at least hundreds of years..."

Du Tianming's narration verified Xiao Qingque's words. According to his understanding, Tianguan was the creator of the entire Human Federation and the Life Tribunal, and had been promoting technological advancement behind the scenes.

Whether it is the Sky Crown or the Eternal Emperor, these survivors of the previous civilization do not want the development of civilization to lead to the destruction of the Lord of the Sky, but they also hope that the progress of civilization can give birth to more scholars to help them find a way to solve the cyclical destruction of civilization.

This contradictory mentality is reflected in Tianguan. He single-handedly advanced the technology of the Human Federation into modern society, but at the same time he personally stepped on the brakes and began to suppress the development of various technologies, especially aerospace technology.

However, biotechnology is the only exception. No matter how much biotechnology develops, it will not attract the attention of the Lord of the Sky. Therefore, the Life Tribunal focuses on life technology and vigorously develops various life-related technologies.

Du Tianming's story made Shen Cheng understand more about Tianguan and Life Court, but these were not what Shen Cheng wanted.

Du Tianming seemed to notice that Shen Cheng was absent-minded, and suddenly changed the subject: "Did you know? There used to be many civilizations on this planet under our feet."

Shen Cheng turned his head and looked at him in surprise: "You know that too?"

"This is no secret within governments of various countries. Many archaeological activities have unearthed remains of civilization."

Du Tianming finally gave up staring at the float and turned to look at Shen Cheng: "It's normal for there to be multiple civilizations, but do you know? These civilizations were destroyed when they reached their peak, and they were destroyed by the same culprit."

Du Tianming wanted to see surprise on Shen Cheng's face, but Shen Cheng's face was very calm, and he uttered a sentence: "It's the Lord of the Sky, right?"

This time it was Du Tianming's turn to show surprise on his face: "How did you know that?"

"A scholar named Black Agate, whose research results are the theory of civilization cycle destruction."

Shen Cheng did not say that it was Xiao Qingque who revealed it, but instead used Black Agate as a shield.

At the same time, he asked back: "I also want to ask you, how did you know about the Lord of the Sky?"

Only a few people know about the existence of the Lord of the Sky. Whether it is Black Onyx or the Stargazing Club, the existence of the Lord of the Sky is just a speculation and there is no evidence to prove it.

From Du Tianming's tone just now, he was very sure of the existence of the Lord of the Sky.

"I have secretly seen some relatively secret information in the headquarters of the Life Tribunal, which contains records about the Lord of the Sky."

Du Tianming used this reason to evade the question, which made Shen Cheng feel that Du Tianming's position in the Life Tribunal might have been extraordinary, and he was not just an ordinary researcher as he said.

"That Tianguan who looks exactly like you and me may be a survivor of the previous civilization."

Du Tianming casually mentioned a secret that only a few people knew. No, it should be a secret that only four people knew, including Shen Cheng.

Shen Cheng looked at Du Tianming again. Every time he thought he had gotten to know this man, he would give him a surprise again.

Du Tianming continued to talk to himself: "Tianguan has been hiding in that black building. The supercomputer he built himself is calculating how to solve the destruction of the Lord of the Sky. In addition, Tianguan has another secret research. This research has an extremely broad prospect and future, and can truly solve the threat of the Lord of the Sky. I stole his research results."

Shen Cheng's heart skipped a beat.

He had gone from being careless at the beginning to being extremely serious, and he didn't even care about the fish biting the hook.
