Gods Vanish on a Cloudy Day
Chapter 23 The Road Ahead (8000)
The engineers' voluntary inspection of the 'New Home' lunar city's new fusion engine lasted for two days and three nights, aiming to ensure the smooth operation of this behemoth and prevent overload when activating the town-guarding grand array later.
This largely meaningless spot check ended when the department leader was criticized by higher-ups, much to the regret of most of the engineers.
These nuclear power engineers, whose average age was no more than thirty-two and who were generally quite young, had mostly worked for less than five years. Trained and raised in the new era of spiritual energy education, they were eager to show their abilities and their extraordinary qualities.
Even after returning to the lounge, they were still complaining about the unreasonableness of the space city leaders. They knew that each inspection of the new nuclear power engine would give these Tiangong (Heavenly Craftsmen) or Jinwu nidao (Golden Crow Imitation Dao) cultivators insights. In a sense, the preparation work could even be considered a pleasant closed-door cultivation.
But people are people, after all. After returning to their respective lounges, these engineers no longer thought about work. Some began to contact their families far away, while others began to play games and browse the internet, enjoying the leisure time before the official launch of the 'New Home' space city.
But not everyone was like this.
Inside room 1209, a rather weathered-looking man was tidying up the various odds and ends in his room. He had a head of rather dry black hair, and although his appearance was tidy, it gave off an inappropriate sense of decadence.
The man, named An Yunqing, was forty-three years old. He was preparing a rather strange machine in his hands: the machine was a regular hexagonal prism with a dark red spirit core embedded in the center. Dim red veins flowed in the silver-white metal prism, containing an extremely strange and dangerous aura.
No, rather than dangerous, it was more like emptiness: because nothing existed, all things harbored a trace of fear of falling into it.
The machine needed to be controlled using spiritual energy. An Yunqing skillfully controlled some parameters, silently finished organizing it with some scattered spirit stones and seemingly useless runes and talismans, and then put it into a 'sealing card'.
In an instant, the props on the bed disappeared.
Sealing cards are special storage props developed by the Europa Concord Bureau, which can designate a certain amount of props and seal them into a card.
This card has no weight, and its main body is located in the subspace. It is the latest spatial storage prop.
And because it is the latest, very advanced, almost experimental prop, it is basically impossible to detect it, and it is difficult to be discovered. Even if it is discovered, as long as the carrier is strong enough, it will probably be mistaken for the brilliance contained in the carrier's soul itself.
—Yes, today's extraordinary technology has advanced to this point.
Advanced to the point where people in the past would have difficulty understanding it.
"Old An, it's time for dinner!"
Someone was knocking hard on the door outside. An Yunqing was slightly startled, but quickly calmed down.
He got up, went to the door, and opened it. The colleague outside saw the tired and decadent middle-aged man walking out of the shadows, and couldn't help but jokingly say, "What's wrong? Too nervous to sleep?"
"No need. It's a meeting of a dozen Holy Seats. We just need to watch from below. Although we need to go up and say a few words as engineers, we can just say a few polite words, right?"
"You're not really socially awkward, are you?"
This joke was obviously not funny, and the engineer colleague's EQ was obviously not very good, but An Yunqing just glanced at the other party lightly, then said 'thank you' and followed him out.
Although lunar soil cannot grow crops, that is only for ordinary plants. Through a year and a half of spiritualization and cultivation, the New Home lunar surface space city in Zheng Country has opened up an underground greenhouse that is large enough to meet the daily needs of more than 100,000 people. It is full of various self-sufficient spirit plants that do not require organic matter and can self-decompose various inorganic substances as long as there is spiritual energy and water.
Most of these spirit plants do not taste good, but the concentration of spiritual energy is very high, so the food in the cafeteria is very popular. Whether they are engineers or other professions, the staff working on the moon all look forward to meal times.
An Yunqing left his lounge, walked out of the dormitory building. The vacuum environment on the lunar surface was nothing to these lunar surface engineers who were all extraordinary. They only needed to wear a simple spacesuit similar to a raincoat to move freely.
Walking on the empty lunar surface, the man felt the light, and couldn't help but raise his head to look at the Earth.
This was an incredibly beautiful era.
The man's eyes reflected half of the Earth. He could see many satellites and huge space stations rotating around the moon and the Earth, and there were extremely obvious huge spiritual energy reactions surging on the surface of the continent.
At the terminator, An Yunqing could clearly see countless lights.
Every corner of the world was full of lights. Even the Central Asian region, which used to be the center of war, was not as dark as it used to be at night.
On that land, countless twinkling stars were emerging, even in the mountains and hills. Villages isolated from the world were connecting to electricity and integrating with the entire world.
After decades, mankind was finally beginning to repair the evils of the nuclear war that swept across all of humanity.
The Earth was so dazzling and beautiful. Under the light of the sun, it was like the most gorgeous gemstone, radiating a light that was enough to make people lose all their troubles.
But this light could not illuminate An Yunqing's darkness and dispel his troubles.
The man stood on the gray-white lunar soil of the moon, quietly gazing at the dazzling and gem-like Earth in the sunlight.
In his heart, he couldn't help but recall his wife, eldest daughter, and second son.
And the three graves in the Southern Suburb Cemetery.
In just a trance, time seemed to flow backward, and An Yunqing seemed to have returned to the Qingming Festival seven years ago.
It was a gloomy day. He stood in front of the tombstone, watching the burning paper money and incense candles turn into ashes, which swirled on the tombstone with the hot wind. A few sparks drifted out from the gradually extinguishing ashes, drawing a few weak traces of light in the air, and then quietly disappeared into the wind.
Buzz—spiritual energy fluctuations shook space and time, awakening the man from this nightmare.
He raised his head to look at the sky again, only to find that those few traces of light began to overlap with the orbits of those spaceships coming from Earth and heading towards the moon. The interweaving of dreams and reality made An Yunqing恍惚 for a long time.
Yes, it's been seven years...
They had all been dead for seven years, killed in an accident caused by a power user.
It wasn't anything new.
Seven years ago, the entire Earth ushered in the revival of spiritual energy. Of course, the official forces of various countries had already made various preparations in advance, suppressing all possible losses and accidents, but this was naturally not all.
A young man with Qilin bloodline awakened his divine beast bloodline in his sleep, igniting a raging fire that burned down the entire high-rise building. An Yunqing, who was returning from加班 at the research institute, personally witnessed the scene of the building ruins being turned into ashes by the Qilin fire gradually collapsing. He couldn't recall the details of that time until now, as if endless darkness had overwhelmed the light, causing the memories and all thoughts at that time to fall into obscurity.
Yes, the Security Bureau's crisis management team, which arrived at the fastest speed, saved almost everyone in the building. This was undoubtedly good news, but the word 'almost' meant one thing.
That is, 'someone did die'.
A thirty-five-story high-rise building, under such a big fire, caused thirteen deaths, which was already fortunate among misfortunes.
But for An Yunqing, what he lost was everything: his wife, who had been a little cold recently but had no conflicts, his daughter, who was a little rebellious and disobedient but would obediently call him Daddy, his son, who was just two and a half years old and was learning pinyin and listening to stories... Everything became indistinguishable coke in the ashes.
The man took a step forward, and the lunar dust under his feet fluttered and swirled in front of him.
There was no conspiracy, and there was no concealment. It was indeed just an accident and an inopportune awakening.
The Qilin awakener did not commit any crimes in a subjective sense, and showed great grief and remorse. He took the initiative to request to go to prison for labor service, to compensate the victims as much as possible—he was indeed a good person who lived up to the name of the Qilin bloodline, upright and benevolent. He also performed well in prison, so he was released two years ago, and is now doing unpaid labor in a folk voluntary labor organization.
He was still young, with a future and excellent talent, and had a long time to atone for himself.
He actually didn't do anything wrong—the bloodline just awakened by itself, with a probability of one in several billion, who could blame?
He could hate him, he could blame him, he could complain about him, he could want to kill him—An Yunqing had thought about everything, but the fact was very simple.
No matter what, everything he had lost would not come back.
"What's the point of this era developing so well?"
Walking on the lunar surface, An Yunqing closed his eyes and said to himself in his heart, "On the contrary, the better it develops, the more painful and self-reproachful I become."
"Such a thriving world... you can't enjoy it. We clearly agreed to prepare for our fifteenth wedding anniversary and go on a trip around the world together. I've already bought the tickets..."
"Little Xiang would definitely like this world very much, right? So many superpowers she likes, cultivation has become a reality from manga novels. She's such an awkward child. I didn't say I wouldn't let her watch it, I just hoped that she would also focus on her studies. I really didn't want to argue with her..."
"If Dongliu was still alive, he should be almost ten years old now. He would be at the age where he could cultivate under the care of his parents. His talent must be very good, but now it's impossible..."
No matter how beautiful, how prosperous, how thriving the world.
For the person of nothingness, it is nothing but vanity of vanities, like grasping the wind.
—As the Nothingness of Twilight said, all things are vanity.
Yes, An Yunqing also knew.
If the spiritual energy era had not come, the situation would have been even worse.
On the contrary, it would definitely be worse: at that time, the situation around the world was tense, and the contradictions between countries were sharp, as if a new round of cold war could break out at any time.
The revival of spiritual energy interrupted this sharp confrontation, so that now, the major forces with sufficient resources are cooperating smoothly, and the United Nations has become a true organization for discussing global affairs.
The more prosperous and beautiful this world is, the more it makes An Yunqing know how terrible his baseness and emptiness are.
Especially, the path he has chosen is so unbearable and evil.
But soon, he won't have to struggle so painfully.
"Suddenly thought of a new problem."
An Yunqing raised his head and transmitted a message in the public channel: "I have a new idea for the radiation fluid parameters in the magnetic confinement plasma field. I want to try it."
"You guys go eat first, I'll go later."
"Old An is really a workaholic."
