Chapter 168: Individual Destiny (Part )
"Dad, why is everyone crying so sadly?"
Walking out of the square where the global memorial day was held, Tu Yaya looked up with tears still on her face and asked in confusion.
The little girl is young and doesn't understand the significance of offering sacrifices to the dead.
Tu Hengyu held his daughter's hand and walked along the tree-lined path in the square. His eyes stayed on his daughter's young face for a few seconds, then he looked up at his wife who was holding his daughter's other hand.
He sighed and said, "Because everyone is missing their loved ones."
[Compared to them, I am much luckier...]
"Dad, do people go to heaven after they die? Does heaven really exist?"
"I will, I will."
In 2072, when the Earth held its first global memorial day to commemorate those who sacrificed for the continuation of human civilization over the past fifty years, somewhere unknown to the people of Earth.
"Yaya, happy birthday!"
The brothers next door laughed and set off the fireworks, and the bright colorful pieces fluttered in the sky like snowflakes.
Tu Yaya's birthday was very lively. Friends, relatives, kindergarten classmates, and neighbors all came. Dozens of people held a celebration party in the garden of Tu Hengyu's big villa.
Tu Yaya happily cuts the cake and enjoys the blessings from everyone.
After the lively birthday party ended, Tu Yaya suddenly looked up and asked Tu Hengyu a question, "Dad, why did Tu Yaya celebrate her birthday so late?"
"Aren't there only 365 days in a year? I've been waiting for 10,414 days and 19 hours. How come I'm only six years old?"
Looking only in his twenties, the young Tu Hengyu's father replied with a smile: "Because this world is cast with magic, don't you think Dad has not aged?"
"Really? It's amazing."
Tu Hengyu touched his daughter's hair lovingly and looked up at the bright moon in the night sky.
In the black pupils, a blue data code flashed.
……
“This is the current situation on Earth.”
Reincarnation space, starry sky temple, same position, same place.
After checking the situation of Liu Qi, Han Ziang and others on Earth, Zhang Hong turned to ask Liu Peiqiang and Han Duoduo.
"So what are your choices, have you thought about it?"
Liu Peiqiang and Han Duoduo looked at each other and nodded seriously at Zhang Hong.
"We've made up our minds. We won't go back and cause them trouble. Life here is good enough."
Unlike Tu Hengyu, Liu Peiqiang and his wife chose to stay in the reincarnation space as dead souls and refused the opportunity to resurrect and return to Earth to live.
In their view, death is like the extinguishing of a light. Once dead, that's it. There is no need to desire to live another life.
Besides, Liu Qi and his family lived a good life and were very filial to their elders, so they had no worries.
Let the living and the dead live in peace, just as they have in the past, and follow tradition.
Zhang Hong respected the choices of the two and made all the necessary arrangements for them in the reincarnation world.
……
2092, Wandering Sun, a high-end sanatorium somewhere on Earth.
"Doctor, how could this happen?!"
"Shouldn't the average lifespan of biochemical transformation technology reach 200 years? How come Mr. Zhou is only years old..."
"Ms. Hao, I'm sorry, we don't know what's going on..."
"I'm so sorry... We've tried our best..."
Zhou Zhe, who was half lying on the hospital bed with tubes inserted all over his body, said comfortingly: "Xiaoxi, don't make things difficult for the doctor. Everyone has their own destiny. We should be content if we can live to be a hundred years old."
"Teacher Zhou……"
Looking at the teacher who was once so powerful and capable, now lying on the hospital bed like he was dying, Hao Xiaoxi felt a lump in her throat and couldn't stop crying.
"Don't cry. Don't cry."
"Life and death are the natural order of the world. There is nothing to be sad about."
"Besides, I, Teacher Zhou, passed away peacefully."
Zhou Zhe just laughed and said that even when he was about to die, he was still open-minded enough to make a joke about himself to cheer everyone up.
"Xiaoxi, come here, I'm going to tell you a secret, don't tell anyone else easily..."
Hao Xiaoxi leaned over to listen, then suddenly her eyes widened. If she hadn't covered her mouth in time, she would have almost screamed out.
"Teacher, are you telling the truth?"
Zhou Zhezhi nodded slightly and seriously.
[The traveler has been hiding in the dark and observing humans... Oh my god...]
[How did Mr. Zhou determine this? ]
Zhou Zhezhi suddenly turned his head and looked out the window. After a moment of silence, he said calmly, "You're here... It seems the time has come..."
Hao Xiaoxi followed his gaze and saw that there was no one outside the window, only plum blossoms swaying in the wind.
She asked curiously: "Teacher, who are you talking to?"
"Nothing. An old friend..."
【Di-】
The life monitor in the ward suddenly issued a shrill alarm.
The wavy lines representing the patient's brain waves turned into a row of parallel straight lines.
"Teacher Zhou!"
"Chief!"
Zhou Zhe lay on the hospital bed with a smile on his face and his eyes closed as if he was asleep.
This old man, who had fought for the earth's civilization for more than fifty years, fell asleep forever.
"Mr. Zhou, do you have any regrets about leaving like this?"
Zhang Hong asked.
In a way imperceptible to humans, Zhang Hong stood in mid-air with Zhou Zhezhi's spirit, looking at the people in the ward who were crying in grief.
Zhou Zhe shook his head and said, "What's there to regret? My whole life has been like walking on thin ice. Now that the Earth has successfully survived the crisis, I have let go of the knot in my heart."
"Let's go. What job do you have for me?"
"Don't worry, Mr. Zhou. Just stick to your old business."
"Prime Minister of the Samsara World, are you satisfied with this position?"
"How can I not be satisfied?...Alas, my old bones will not be able to rest in peace even after death. This is the life of a worker."
"Boss, let's make a deal. Make me look younger. Not too young, forty is just right."
"no problem!"
Looking at Zhou Zhezhi, who became much more lively and humorous after his death, Zhang Hong stroked his chin and thought about it.
It seems... Zhou Zhezhi was born in the 90s. Does that mean he has to call himself "brother"?
……
In 2110, it was the twenty-second anniversary of the launch of the Wandering Sun Project.
Earth, a residential area somewhere in the former Demon City.
"Great grandfather, I wish you good fortune as vast as the East Sea, longevity as great as the Southern Mountains, and a life of a hundred, no, a thousand years!"
"Hey, Nannan is so good!"
Tu Hengyu, who already had a head full of white hair but a youthful face, smiled and touched the little heads of his great-grandchildren who came to celebrate his birthday one by one.
Sitting in the chairman's seat, Tu Hengyu felt deeply saddened as he looked at his wife who also had silver hair, his eldest daughter who had become a grandmother, and his other children who had become grandparents.
"Time flies so fast. In the blink of an eye, you have all become grandparents..."
Tu Hengyu's eyes stayed on Tu Yaya, and he said kindly, "Yaya, Daddy didn't break his promise. You have a complete life..."
Tu Yaya was confused: "Dad, is there something wrong with my face?"
"No, no. Dad is saying that no matter how old you are, you will always be dad's little cotton-padded jacket and leather jacket. Hahaha..."
Tu Hengyu laughed heartily.
"Today is our father's 100th birthday. Let us wish our parents good health and good luck!"
"I wish Mom and Dad (Grandma and Grandpa) good health and good luck!"
Everyone shouted in unison.
Tu Hengyu sat quietly on the armchair with a kind smile and his eyes slightly closed.
"This old man dozed off while eating." The old lady next to him muttered, nudging Tu Hengyu with her elbow: "Wake up, don't sleep any more, everyone is watching you, get up and say a few words."
"Hengyu? Hengyu?!"
"dad!"
……
Reincarnation world, starry sky temple.
Tu Hengyu, Liu Peiqiang and Zhou Zhezhi, three sons of the world, were summoned to the hall.
A white light flashed, and Zhang Hong appeared in front of the three people.
"Mr. Zhang."
The three of them greeted each other politely.
After all, Zhang Hong is now the immediate superior of the three people and the big boss of the reincarnation world. He controls the life and death of billions of people in the reincarnation world (over the past few decades, people have died on Earth one after another, and their souls have entered the reincarnation world of Zhang Hong’s incarnation).
Zhang Hong coughed lightly and said, "I called you here today because I have something to return to you."
With a wave of Zhang Hong's hand, three golden balls flew out of the temple. They were the size of yoga balls, made of gold, and covered with mysterious white glowing lines on their surface, just like magic weapons in myths and legends.
When the three people were puzzled, the three golden balls cracked at the same time and disintegrated like a puzzle. Thousands of streams of light suddenly flew out from the light balls and flew into the bodies of the three people madly in an instant.
The three of them shone brightly, and the dazzling white light illuminated the entire hall.
Half a minute later, the white light disappeared, and the three golden balls were empty. Zhang Hong waved his hand, and they disappeared in an instant.
Tu Hengyu, Liu Peiqiang and Zhou Zhe stood there with blank expressions for a long time.
"This...we..."
After coming to their senses, the three of them looked at Zhang Hong inquiringly.
Zhang Hong nodded.
"These are the soul fragments of your clones who sacrificed before. Unfortunately, clones cannot have complete souls."
The [Avatar Plan] was actually a test of Zhang Hong's bug to see if he could use high technology to mass-produce soul bodies. As expected, it failed.
After the death of a cloned person, there is no complete soul, only incomplete soul fragments, and there is a special connection between these fragments and the original soul.
But Zhang Hong also had an "unexpected" gain.
After Tu Hengyu, Liu Peiqiang and Zhou Zhezhi merged the soul fragments of millions of their own clones, their souls underwent some special qualitative change, becoming a million times stronger than ordinary dead souls, and they also acquired many "magical powers" without any guidance.
[Soul Transformation], you can use soul power to transform into various items you are familiar with, such as computers, vehicles and weapons. The transformed objects have the same abilities as the real objects.
[Soul Clone], three people can create millions of soul clones, and one person is an army!
The ghost characteristics possessed by the other three people (the reincarnation world comes from the world of A Chinese Ghost Story), such as the ability to pass through walls, telekinesis, and mind interference, are also thousands of times more powerful than ordinary ghosts.
After Zhang Hong tested them, he found that the strength of the three people had reached the [quasi-planetary level] standard - this is a universal strength measurement system formulated by Zhang Hong himself. According to the classification of the Qiannu world, it is equivalent to a celestial fairy level strongman.
In terms of destructive power, it's probably at the level of moving mountains and filling the sea, or flattening a city with one punch...
Zhang Hong didn't expect that he accidentally got three SSR-level ace workers.
