People are in reality, transcending the other side

Chapter 195 History Buried by Yellow Sand (Ninth Update! 5180 Monthly Tickets Added! Requesting Monthly Tickets!)

Upon returning to reality, Li Qi will face off against the Claw Monster and the Heavy Swordsman. The 43 points of swordsmanship proficiency he gained will become real, and he will then embark on the life journey of the Gray Swordsman without hesitation.

At this moment, the other party's name also appeared in the scroll: Zhao Gouzi.

The name gave Li Qi a slight sense of déjà vu, but that was all; he absolutely did not associate it with his good friend from his previous life.

Then, a great dream began, and I lost track of what year it was.

It was a lost world, a global nuclear war that destroyed civilization. Everything that humanity had built over a long period of time was ultimately destroyed by the very weapons it created.

The yellow sand has buried history, and as time goes by, the seeds of life still survive.

It was a life base built by humans to prevent a possible mass extinction of humanity. There were no humans inside, only life seeds that humans had reserved in advance, and a large number of childcare robots.

Due to the war and the passage of time, this place was almost completely destroyed. However, by chance, a childcare robot was activated. Fortunately, there was another childcare robot in the base, which was even more fortunate to have successfully operated once before being completely destroyed.

Thus, Zhao Gouzi was born.

This name was randomly generated from a fragmented database for the childcare robot. Because the database was incomplete, and even the program was damaged, the naming function was also arbitrary.

But in times of civilization's demise, names have no meaning.

The robot is missing a lot of things. It lacks scientific knowledge, cultural knowledge, and only has some basic common sense that is not very useful. It also has a martial arts chip that it found somewhere and is not completely broken yet.

Inside the chip was a martial art called Tiger Roar Iron Shirt, which the robot used as a learning tutorial for children and taught to Zhao Gouzi.

Fortunately, early humans stored a lot of food and water in the base, so Zhao Gouzi did not starve to death, but grew up smoothly. Under the robot's education, he even learned a lot of fragmented knowledge, just like a modern person who lost most of his important memories but retained some common sense.

This mental state is very strange, but Zhao Gouzi feels it's normal and there's nothing wrong with it, because his world is only the size of this palm. The outside world is dangerous, extremely dangerous. This is the truth that the robot told him.

As time passed and he grew older, one day Zhao Gouzi suddenly realized that he should be a poet, even though he didn't really understand what a poet was.

Robot 9863 only told him about the poet's existence, but when he pressed for details, he was told that the database had been lost.

And so time went by, until one day Zhao Gouzi discovered that 9863 was no longer moving, and no matter how he pressed it, there was no response.

He waited a long time, several years, before it suddenly dawned on him that this was probably what 9863 meant by "death." He remembered that 9863 had said that people would eventually die.

Several years later, Zhao Gouzi, who was in his thirties, finally couldn't resist and stepped out of the small base fragment. It took him almost a year to dig through the soil and see the real sunlight.

Then there is a person lacking common sense, walking in an unfamiliar world. The radiation from the nuclear explosion still exists, but because of his martial arts skills, he can sense that invisible danger and avoid it.

He traveled and traveled to many places, and encountered some strange people. Human intelligence had degenerated, and he also heard about so-called history from some of them.

Countless years ago, the God-King of the Evil Moon Temple and the United Council vied for world domination. In the end, the United Council perished, detonating all nuclear weapons worldwide…

He felt nothing for history, nor did he know where he was going or where he should go, so he just wandered aimlessly. Until one day, he picked up a pet, or rather, a thin, gray person. Because it was gray, he called it Little Gray. Later, he discovered that it was actually a girl, but he didn't care, because he was already used to calling it that.

The journey started as a solo trip, but now it's for two. Sometimes he feels the other person is too weak and troublesome to follow, but other times he feels it's nice to have a pet by his side...

Time passed, the two traveled to many places, and Little Gray grew a little bigger. Then, the unexpected happened.

A group of thugs on motorcycles roamed across the yellow sand, using special hunting nets to capture their prey.

These are a special kind of cannibalism who believe that by devouring their own kind, they can gain greater wisdom and physique, and even receive divine revelation.

Xiao Hui was impaled by a harpoon and died instantly. Zhao Gouzi fought back, but to no avail. Originally, Zhao Gouzi felt that he was not afraid of death, but when Xiao Hui died, he felt an unprecedented and intense sadness.

But emotions cannot be transformed into strength. At this moment, he hated his own weakness more than ever before, yet he was powerless to change the outcome...

……

"Sadness..."

In reality, Li Qi woke up, and everything in the dream was gone, but the memory of the moment Xiao Hui died, and the intense sadness, lingered for a long time.

"And there's history. The one who caused the nuclear apocalypse was actually the Evil Moon Divine Court. Wang Yan also died young because of it. This force is something else..."

Li Qi felt sadness, but he was not controlled by it.

It was all a grand dream, but he knew that he was who he was, Zhao Gouzi was Zhao Gouzi.

"However, that period of history must have been incredibly exciting, but unfortunately the original version is now in fragments, and we can never go back to it."

With these thoughts swirling in Li Qi's mind, the Nine Transformations of the Cicada Heart Reincarnation True Self Dao Scripture in his spiritual world also began to operate at an extreme speed at this moment, ultimately adding a full nine points of proficiency, bringing the martial art to 96/100. It was only four points away from undergoing a complete transformation.

In terms of time, Zhao Gouzi undoubtedly lived longer and experienced more twists and turns, but the benefits he brought to Li Qi were not as great as those of Wang Yan. The reason for this was naturally the difference in talent and the difference in divine skills.

While a genius combined with the Qian Yuan Dao Jing (a Daoist classic) may lead to a short but brilliant life, Zhao Gouzi, on the other hand, accumulated a wonderful life through time and opportunity.

At the same time, the log is also refreshed.

Log: Refined by the grand dream of life, you have absorbed some of its mysteries. Your proficiency in the Qian Yuan Heart Sutra has increased by 13.
Log: Refined by the grand dream of life, your spiritual world has received abundant nourishment. Your mind, will, and wisdom have increased by 0.01, and the duration of the subsequent significant increase in the speed of improvement of mind, will, and wisdom has been extended.

Zhao Gouzi had never practiced the Qian Yuan Dao Jing, but he still managed to add 13 points to the proficiency of this martial art. He was only two points away from reaching level four.

"If only the past could be changed..."

Suddenly, such a thought arose in Li Qi's mind, but he also knew that such a thing was not very realistic.

Reversing time and space—what an immense and terrifying power that would require!
