50: Chapter 50 The Forbidden Tale of Immortality
— — In the Livestream Room
" It has to be Daoist Ye. A crisis was solved in just a few moves. "
" Immortal cultivators are truly terrifying! "
" Daoist Ye's strength is completely a dimensionality reduction strike. "
" But I am even more curious, how can there be such a utopia in this doomsday wasteland? "
" Indeed, and they all look like Huaguo people. As expected, no matter which world it is, the descendants of Yanhuang carry the will to resist in their genes. "
" Exactly. Aren't foreigners' movies always like that? Whenever doomsday comes, they only know how to loot and plunder. If it were us Huaguo people, wouldn't we just fence off a piece of land, farm honestly, and be self-sufficient? "
" The person who created this utopia must be extraordinary. "
" Damn, look quickly, what a handsome young lady! "
" Oh damn, these long legs can be played with for ten years. "
... A bunch of old perverts.
The crisis in Longgu Village was resolved by Ye Qingxuan in just a few breaths. Soon, hundreds of villagers gathered around, looking at Ye Qingxuan with curiosity, fear, and gratitude—a thousand faces for a thousand people.
" What are y'all gathering around for? "
A familiar Central Plains dialect made Ye Qingxuan feel a bit dazed. He had almost forgotten that in his past life, he was also from the Central Plains.
A burly man ran over and hugged Maiduo tightly. " Duoduo, are you alright? " It was Maiduo's father, Aodeng.
" Dad, I am fine. It was this... Daoist? Who saved me. " Maiduo's tone was a bit hesitant. Looking at his Daoist robe and crown, he should be a Daoist priest.
" Thank you, Daoist, for saving my daughter's life... " Seeing Aodeng wanted to say more, Ye Qingxuan raised his hand to interrupt.
" It was merely a lift of a hand. This matter started because of me, so it should naturally end by me. "
Because Ye Qingxuan had killed too many Sustenance-seekers during this period, the power of the primal mana entity dropped significantly. It could only dispatch Sustenance-seekers to devour more life source matter. If Ye Qingxuan hadn't acted today, probably only Bai Yuekui would have survived in the entire Longgu Village.
Of course, it was also because these villagers were inherently simple and honest. If they were a bunch of unruly rabble, without needing Sustenance-seekers to come, Ye Qingxuan would have fed all of them to the human emperor banner.
" You say today's matter started because of you? " At this moment, a magnetic voice came over, carrying doubt and puzzlement in its tone.
" Boss Bai is here! " Someone shouted loudly.
The onlookers cleared a path, and a woman with snow-white short silver hair and jade-white skin walked over.
Her face shape was exquisite and cold, her brows and eyes sharp and profound, and her black pupils serene. Her gaze naturally carried detachment and a sense of oppression. Her lip color was pale, and her expression was calm. Tall, upright, and with a slender figure, she wore a black tight-fitting combat suit, overlaid with a long white fur-collared cloak. The collar was fluffy and fluttered in the wind as she walked. Her waist was bound with a wide belt equipped with a metal buckle, and she held a Tang Dao in her hand.
' Bai Yuekui? She is quite pretty in person, and her figure is about the same as Senior Sister's, but overall she is still a bit lacking. As expected, Qingling is prettier! ' Ye Qingxuan only glanced at her, muttering incessantly in his heart.
" Boss, it was this Daoist who saved us. " Maiduo stepped forward, wanting to explain something.
" It's fine, I saw it all. " Bai Yuekui simply replied calmly.
" This Daoist is an ancient person? " Bai Yuekui's question left Ye Qingxuan speechless.
As someone born in the year 2000, Ye Qingxuan could indeed be considered an ancient person compared to them.
" Does the lay practitioner wish to converse with me here? " Ye Qingxuan looked at the messy surroundings and hundreds of onlookers, and retorted with a question.
" Follow me. " Bai Yuekui turned around and led Ye Qingxuan toward the village.
Watching the two leave, the villagers of Longgu Village exploded into a commotion.
" This young man's demeanor is simply... " Shanda's words cut off. His meager vocabulary left him hesitant to speak.
" Floating with Immortal Qi? " Xiaodou added.
" Yes, exactly! " Shanda slapped his thigh and said.
" Alright, alright, scatter now, quickly go clean up the village. " Qiushi's words made everyone disperse in a flurry.
... Livestream Room
" To think there can still be such a tranquil place amidst the doomsday wasteland. "
" But I am even more curious, that particularly cool young lady seems very powerful. "
" Just keep watching. "
Master Yuanxin and the other two looked at the screen of the National Destiny Space in silence, not knowing what they were thinking.

" Can you explain in detail now? Daoist? " Bai Yuekui's tone carried curiosity.
" I am Ye Qingxuan, a cultivator, not a person of this world... " Ye Qingxuan thought for a moment; explaining it would be too troublesome, so he might as well transmit it directly via Divine Sense.
Thinking of this, Ye Qingxuan directly pressed a finger between Bai Yuekui's brows, transmitting some information to her through Divine Sense. As for resisting?
Stop joking. Boss Bai was indeed quite strong, possessing strength around the early-to-Middle Stage of Foundation Establishment. But to Daoist Ye, well, although it might sting a bit, she was merely at the ant realm.
After about a few minutes, Bai Yuekui opened her eyes, her gaze filled with shock and complex emotions.
" So that is how it is. It really is us... " Bai Yuekui lowered her head to look at her own hands, remaining silent.
" Considering that we both belong to the Yanhuang lineage, I want to make a deal with you. " Ye Qingxuan looked at the silent Bai Yuekui and put forward his request.
" What deal? " Bai Yuekui looked at Ye Qingxuan, her eyes unable to hide her curiosity.
" I will solve the mana ecology, and what you need to pay in return is all your technological data except for immortality. "
This was the only useful thing Ye Qingxuan could think of in this world besides the world Origin.
" Very well, I will organize and hand them over to you. However, what do you plan to do? " Bai Yuekui agreed without hesitation.
With Ye Qingxuan around, the so-called Operation Attack-Ape wouldn't even be needed anymore. Having hidden in this tiny square inch for so many years, they finally saw a glimmer of dawn today.
" I need Sustenance-seekers, the more the better. You need to lure them over, and you don't need to worry about the rest. "
Ye Qingxuan thought about it; he still needed their help to lure the monsters. Carrying the human emperor banner and running around everywhere by himself was far less convenient than luring them over to devour them directly.
" No problem. " Bai Yuekui finished speaking and went down to prepare.

" Daoist Ye, you are my god! ! ! "
" Technological data of the future world? This is the most useful thing for the current Huaguo, and technology is unlike cultivation. As long as a big shot thoroughly understands it, it can be directly applied to everyone. "
" That world has the technology of immortality? Why didn't Daoist Ye ask for it? "
" No way, it has been so long, and the person above is still an illiterate in the cultivation world? "
" I second the floor above, he is indeed illiterate. "
" A bunch of hopelessly illiterate people! ! "
" If you want to know why, just go read a book and you'll know. "
" Make everyone live forever? You really are courting death, aren't you afraid of being liquidated by the Heavenly Dao? "
" Actually, I am quite curious too, but I am too lazy to read books. Can any expert explain it? "
" Same question. "
" You better not trouble the three Seniors. Go read books yourselves. "
The bullet comments in the livestream room mocked each other, while foreigners were completely baffled. They were also curious as to why everyone couldn't be made immortal.
" A bunch of stupid Huaguo people. The technology of immortality is right there, and yet you don't want it? "
" I don't understand the Huaguo people's train of thought. Immortality is right before their eyes, and yet they dare not take it. "

" Daoist Ye is truly a peerless national hero! The technological data of the future world is much more practical than anything else. This is a treasure that can rapidly arm the country. " Number One was flushed with excitement.
" Number One, what I am worried about right now is that since that world has the technology of immortality, will someone take a desperate risk to touch that taboo? "
The Second Elder was somewhat worried. After all, human desires are infinite, and who can resist the temptation of immortality? Without having to go through tribulations, one can obtain it just by taking an injection. What if someone really brings that technology of immortality back? Would Blue Star also turn into that doomsday wasteland?
" Should we notify Daoist Ye? " The Second Elder asked.
" The communication opportunity can only be used once every seven days. Let's discuss it with Master Yuanxin and the others. "
Number One thought about it and decided it was better to inform Master Yuanxin first. Just in case Ye Qingxuan happened to need external resources at this time, wasting the communication opportunity like that and delaying Ye Qingxuan would mean everything was lost.
Soon, Master Yuanxin received Number One's message, and after discussing for a long time with Celestial Master Zhang and Abbot Kongming, he still decided to contact Ye Qingxuan.
Then, Master Yuanxin raised his escape light and flew toward Zijin Mountain.

" Ring, ring, ring "
Just as Ye Qingxuan was meditating, the contact sound from the outside world rang. Ye Qingxuan guessed something and subsequently connected.
" Qingxuan, it's me. " Master's voice made Ye Qingxuan somewhat surprised.
" Master? Is there something the matter? "
" The conversation between you and that female lay practitioner just now made everyone know that that world has immortality technology. The top priority right now is to prevent other Chosen Ones from bringing the immortality technology back. "
" I see. Understood. " Listening to Master's words, Ye Qingxuan understood what to do.
" Master, Number One should have given you the list, right? " Ye Qingxuan's words made Master Yuanxin reveal an expression of 'as expected'.
" I knew you would do this. Go ahead and do it; Number One and the others will settle everything for you. " Master Yuanxin transmitted a piece of paper over and then hung up the call.
Beside him, Number One and the Second Elder looked at each other and smiled.
" In that case, two lay practitioners, this poor priest takes his leave. " Master Yuanxin made an obeisance.
" Take care, Daoist. We still need to make some arrangements to prevent them from becoming desperate and doing something rash. " Number One stood up to send Master Yuanxin off.
Then he issued an order: " Notify all military units nationwide to enter a special state of readiness, recall all veterans, and get the Dongfeng missiles ready. If they show any unusual movement, open fire directly without reporting! ! "
" Yes! ! " The secretary went down to make arrangements.

Meanwhile, almost all the Chosen Ones received notifications from their leaders, even those Chosen Ones from parallel worlds. After all, the temptation of immortality was enough for everyone to take a desperate risk.
Of course, there were also some rational countries, especially those on good terms with Huaguo. Huaguo was already so powerful and yet didn't dare to touch immortality; how could mere them dare? As long as they hugged Huaguo's thick thigh tightly in this National Destiny Game, even if they couldn't eat meat, drinking some soup wouldn't be a problem.
Ye Qingxuan looked at the piece of paper in his hand, which contained the locations of the various Chosen Ones. The external think tank team used the longitude and latitude through the lenses of the National Destiny livestream to calculate their approximate locations.
Except for a few friendly countries, Ye Qingxuan prepared to kill all of them, so as to avoid causing trouble later.
