C1556 His Ass Decided His Head
He and King had been working under the deep sea for three whole days. Qin Yunyi had been traveling back and forth between the surface of the sea and the ocean bottom, which was more than ten thousand meters deep, more than two hundred times.
He had brought more than ten thousand amber crystals!
The largest one was the size of a fist, and the smallest one was the size of a fingernail.
After digging for three days like this, the Green Stone's sensitivity towards crystals in King's body began to decline greatly.
The number of crystals found in one go was less than one-tenth of the total number of crystals found on the first day. At the same time, both of them could clearly feel that the number of crystals had become extremely sparse.
The two of them had practically searched the entire Mariana Trench once. Basically, they were about to collect all of the crystals.
Qin Yunyi, who had discovered this fact, was a little unwilling at first. He pulled Wang Yiran up from the bottom of the trench, and after reaching a depth of more than a thousand meters, they entered another seabed. However, after a careful search, they still couldn't find any traces of the crystals.
At this point, Qin Yunyi finally understood that the rare crystal should only exist in the deepest trench of the planet. After billions of years of accumulation, From the very beginning when life appeared in the ocean, it had been accumulating. In such a long time, there were only tens of thousands of crystals. He didn't expect that today, he would be able to gather a spoonful of them. It seemed that if he had time, he would really have to thank nature for its generous gifts.
If he had suddenly heard the number of thousands of crystals, he might have felt that it was very shocking. However, if he thought about it carefully, it would be separated into the long river of time that was billions of years.
This also meant that he was afraid that in a hundred thousand years, he would be able to condense such an amber crystal!
For such a long period of time, at this place closest to the earth's core, it had to go through a ten thousand meter deep pressure before finally forming something.
Qin Yunyi could understand why it was so magical.
However, he still felt a little guilty that he had dug out all the savings that the planet had accumulated since the beginning of its life.
Human nature was selfish. In order to ensure the needs of mankind, this planet had already contributed too much, and mankind's ultimate destruction was definitely due to the depletion of resources and the unrestrained demand of the entire planet.
The Great Calamity was only the beginning, even if mankind barely managed to survive in the Great Calamity and was able to destroy giants under their own leadership. What about in the future. . . ?
"What are you thinking about?"
King still saw Qin Yunyi standing on the deck staring blankly at the endless sea and couldn't help but ask curiously.
Wei Chengfeng was fully focused on controlling the ship. He was already thinking about the things that would happen when he went back to Death's Scythe for training. He kept encouraging himself and strengthening his will, but he didn't notice that Qin Yunyi and King were still on the deck.
"It's nothing. I'm just thinking about the future of mankind. Actually, sometimes I find it funny. Life is just a few decades, even if we reach the peak of humanity like you and me. . . It is only a few hundred years, why should I think about such a distant thing. . . Will humanity finally begin to walk towards the glory of the era of the universe, or will it be quietly destroyed in a remote corner of the universe like Earth? What does it have to do with me? Even. . . I can't be sure if this world really exists, Or is it just a projection of an illusory plane? But sometimes, I just can't control myself. I can't help but think about it. "
Qin Yunyi said with a bitter smile.
"Because you are standing too high, naturally. You will want to shoulder the burden of the entire race, if you are an ordinary person like the others. Then the only thing you consider every day is how to live, how to live better. But you are not, you are the strongest human being, The hope of humanity's revival is the spiritual pillar in the hearts of almost every human being in this era. That is why you consider these things, because of your shoulders. . . Without realizing it, you've already shouldered the responsibility of the entire human race. "
The king was still standing beside Qin Yunyi and said in a low voice.
"This hat is a bit too big. " Qin Yunyi sighed.
"Only a big head like you can wear such a big hat. " King said with a smile.
"You said, if this world really exists, then in this vast universe, isn't every moment. . . Is there an intelligent race like us humans that is rising and destroying? For these planets that are billions of years old, we are merely plankton even if we only have a few decades of life. Perhaps the planet itself also has life. However, just like how we have never taken a Floater seriously, the planet is not interested in us at all? "
Qin Yunyi muttered.
"I think. . . There is no point in thinking about these things. Just do what we are doing right now. If the world is really going to be destroyed, and you don't have any ability to stop it, just face it calmly. At the last moment of your life, you should live a happier life. This is the right path. " The King still shrugged his shoulders and said.
"Sigh, perhaps. I even feel that this sort of wavering thought. . . It's very likely to be a stumbling block in my path of strength. If I want to reach the ultimate perfection. . . If I want to completely undo my Genetic Lock, then I must abandon all these thoughts. Incomparably firm. Thinking about it, those experts who had reached the peak of the Demigod Realm must have encountered similar problems as me. . . They suspected that there was a world that was on a higher level. But at the same time, they weren't very sure. This kind of hesitation and doubt has limited their final step. . . Because they are not certain. . . After taking that step. . . Will they be reborn. . . Or destroyed!"
Qin Yunyi's eyes lit up and he looked more and more clear-headed. "The unknown is always terrifying. Because of the uncertainty after the Genetic Lock was completely unlocked, for so many years. . . All along, I understand now!"
Seeing the excited expression on Qin Yunyi's face, King blinked his eyes and said indifferently, "It's fine as long as you can figure it out. Anyway, don't be foolish like before. "
"What's wrong? You aren't worried about me anymore? I remember you telling me not long ago that you don't want me to reach the peak of perfection. " Qin Yunyi looked at Wang Yi and said with a smile.1
"That's different. I didn't get this Green Stone back then. I thought that I would only have the strength of a lieutenant general in my lifetime, but now. . . With the help of this Green Stone, not only have I reached the Demigod Level, I can clearly feel that this isn't the slightest bit. At most, when you reach the perfect realm. . . I'll just follow your footsteps. Whether it's to the ends of the earth or to hell. . . I'll always follow you. "
The King's tone was still calm, but it also had an indescribable sense of resolution.
Qin Yunyi didn't say anything. He just silently held the king in his arms.
The two of them stood at the edge of the deck, facing the vast ocean. Under the endless blue waves and the endless sea of clouds, they hugged each other without saying a word.
