Those who face the wall, but are in the Nascent Soul stage.

Chapter 180 Jiang Renhuang

When the wind sweeps across the grassland, the waves of grass, like silk ribbons, are gently unfurled, spreading layer upon layer towards the horizon, with herds of cattle and sheep appearing and disappearing among the grass in the distance.

Kind-hearted Luo Qing strolled through the waves of grass, holding the slender hand of the girl from Bojiang, and asked the colonel beside him a question:
"I don't think I've heard anything about ETO in recent years. Have you wiped them out?"

The colonel shook his head: "ETO was wiped out once in Crisis Era 57, but it later rose from the ashes."

"Hmm? It seems the original body didn't tell me about this." Kind-hearted Luo Qing stopped.

The colonel said, "Your original self probably doesn't know about it either; it's a very small matter for him."

"That's true." Kind-hearted Luo Qing nodded in deep agreement: "He only looks to the future and doesn't care about the past. He has little curiosity, is rigid and boring, and doesn't even realize he's been tricked. He's so naive! Naive! Naive!"

The colonel laughed and said, "It's not childish. Mr. Wallfacer naturally has his adorable side. His occasional emotional outbursts actually make us feel more at ease. If this is childish, then I think the people like this childish person."

"Pshaw, he's just a cargo handler."

Kind Luo Qing gave a soft hum, and the Bojiang girl, whom he had freed from the Bojiang crystal, giggled. Ever since the Bojiang girl left with Kind Luo Qing, she hadn't repeated the phrase "The Devourer is coming" for a long time.

The colonel knew that the Bojiang girl, who was revolving around the kind-hearted Luo Qing, with long blue hair reaching her heels, eyes the size of billiard balls, and a crystal-clear body, was not a living being. But he still felt that the Bojiang girl, who was dancing with joy at this moment, was no different from a real being.

Eridanus life forms are truly amazing.

"Colonel, tell me about ETO."

The colonel gave a brief overview of the history of the Trisolaran organization during the Qin Shi Huang-Hu Hai era, with a particular emphasis on the chaos of the early 1950s.

Antarctic base attacked, space station crashes, Mount Olympus destroyed, five permanent members of the UN Security Council declare war, coalition forces breach ETO's Kepler base in South Africa, Russia deploys the 'End' nuclear bomb, and ETO's underground fortress is destroyed.

At this point, the colonel also emphasized the heroic deeds of the spies lurking in the underground fortress, who desperately transmitted information about the underground city construction technology.

"Why didn't you wake up the original body when this happened?" Kind-hearted Luo Qing asked.

"We can't rely on the Wallfacer for everything. He's already done enough. We need to know when to stop," the colonel said with a wry smile.

“Actually, if you just call him, he might grumble and get angry, but he'll still help humans.” Kind Luo Qing shook his head: “He’s much kinder than me. He thinks he’s slaying benevolent corpses, hehehe…”

"Actually, I've always had a question: what kind of place is the Wallfacer's hometown? Why did he..." The colonel hesitated, then stopped.

"Why are you so kind to humans, huh?"

The colonel nodded.

Kind-hearted Luo Qing released the girl's hand, letting her frolic and roll in the grass, while he walked to the side and spoke to the colonel with his back to him.

“In our area, there came a remarkable person, a truly pure person, whom we all deeply respect and admire.”

“I can imagine that our country has always been producing people like this.”

"No, no, no, there's one thing about him that's different from what you imagine. He's incredibly strong, unimaginably strong, possessing the power of heaven and earth. He is our Human Emperor, but don't misunderstand. The Human Emperor isn't the emperor of feudal society; it's a fluid position, a leader to protect my homeland. The mortality rate for this position is very high, almost 100%. Before him, every Human Emperor died on the front lines fighting against the extraterrestrial demons."

"That must have been a very epic war," the colonel said.

"But that war is over now. The Human Emperor led us to victory in the final war. The extraterrestrial demons were wiped out, the Fallen Immortal Realm was destroyed, and the Heavenly Dao that restricted all living beings was defeated. Whether it was the Primordial Immortal or the strongest in the Heavenly Court, he won the final victory."

“That’s great,” the colonel said.

Kindness Luo Qing nodded: "The original body likes to talk nonsense, but I'm just a benevolent corpse, so I don't care about those things. I just say what I want to say. After the final victory, the Human Emperor turned back time to before the war, to a peaceful and beautiful world, but he preserved everyone's memories and gave everyone a chance to start over. Many people realized their mistakes and returned to the right path, like that old bald monk and the old Taoist nun. This world where I can start over is my hometown."

“Start over…so everything can be ‘started over’?” the colonel muttered to himself.

"There are always imperfections in the world, and starting over would reduce many of them." Kind-hearted Luo Qing revealed a smile that even he himself didn't notice. "In my hometown, there are many chaotic worlds, including material universes similar to this one. The 'Treaty of Friendship Among All Realms' concluded by the Human Emperor resolved many conflicts, and it is under his influence that the average moral level of cultivators in my hometown is very high, including my original self." "How did your original self come to this world... wait, can you tell me that?" The colonel looked around warily, knowing that Zhi Zi couldn't see him, but he still did it subconsciously.

"Ah, you can say it, why can't you say it? Hehehe, I love seeing the real body make a fool of itself." Kind-hearted Luo Qing chuckled twice.

Kind-hearted Luo Qing released a quark-level barrier to keep Zhi Zi outside, then transmitted his thoughts telepathically:
"Because everything started over, there are many unfortunate worlds that need to be saved again. But the Human Emperor can't be used like a donkey. It's also tiring for his words to become law. So the Human Emperor discussed it with Sect Master Bai and sent out all the sect's cultivators. His true form was one of them."

"So he was sent to our world???" the colonel couldn't help but exclaim.

"No, no, no." Kind-hearted Luo Qing shook his head frantically: "It's not the same thing. Although there are many worlds in our hometown, known as the myriad realms, the so-called myriad realms have absolutely nothing to do with this material universe. There is no connection between the two, otherwise we would have called for reinforcements long ago."

"Then how did he get here?" the colonel asked in a low voice.

With a flick of his hands, the kind-hearted Luo Qing formed three thousand defensive arrays. He glanced nervously in the direction of his main body, then lowered the volume of his divine sense transmission: "He was sent to a large cultivation world, almost on par with my hometown, but that world has no human emperor, many evil cultivators and demonic cultivators, and even demonic cultivators at the Tribulation Transcending stage and fallen immortals. He's just a mere Nascent Soul cultivator..."

"In such a difficult world, why not send someone powerful instead of your real body?" The colonel also became inexplicably nervous, wishing he could transmit his voice as well.

"Who knows? It's probably some bullshit Human Emperor Trial. Even the dogs of Kyushu know that the Human Emperor has wanted to retire for a long time." Kind-hearted Luo Qing rolled her eyes.

"and then?"

"Then the main body charged straight through, even crossing boundaries to challenge and kill a Nascent Soul evil cultivator... The main body talked about this with his disciple here, although it was mostly made up."

"The Wallfacer has apprentices here? Who's so lucky?" The colonel's eyes widened.

“None of that matters,” Kind Luo Qing interrupted him, continuing, “In short, the original body stirred up quite a bit of trouble, but one person certainly can’t overturn an entire world, so he had to find helpers. But there are only so many disciples in the Dao Sect, and it’s not enough to distribute them among all the heavens and myriad worlds. In this vast other world, there’s only one cultivator from the same Nine Provinces, and she’s a cultivator from the Joyful Union Sect… The original body thought he might as well try anything, since the Joyful Union Sect had a decent reputation in the second timeline, and they were from the same hometown, so they joined forces.”

"And then what?" The colonel's eyes lit up with gossip.

"Then the main body died, and when it opened its eyes, it found itself hanging from a rope. It was the plasma physics laboratory at Tsinghua University."

"Huh?" The colonel was bewildered; this development didn't seem to be quite what he had imagined.

"How did he die? Did that Hehuan Sect female cultivator scheme against him?"

"Not exactly," Luo Qing sighed with a touch of sadness.

"Faced with the siege of multiple fallen immortals, dozens of evil cultivators in the Tribulation Transcending stage, and over a hundred evil cultivators in the Integration stage, the main body mobilized the power of heaven and earth, gathered the flames of all beings' wishes, restored the incomplete Heavenly Dao, and perished together with them."

"Fuck."

The colonel uttered a popular swear word from the early 20th century. He was a hibernator from the same period as Zhang Beihai, and at this moment he couldn't hold back.

"Where is that female cultivator from the Joyful Union Sect?"

Kind-hearted Luo Qing remained silent for a long time, then let out a long sigh.

"She's long dead..."

This double tragic ending immediately calmed the colonel down, and he was too embarrassed to bring up his slightest desire for gossip.

"So, I don't know why the main body was able to come here, but it's probably not the work of the Human Emperor. After all, the human race in this world is too miserable. If he knew, he would have come here in person long ago... Moreover, I can sense that this world has absolutely no connection with my hometown. The main body has tried to go back many times in secret, but it's impossible."

“So that’s how it is…” The colonel sighed and asked, “What is the name of the human emperor you’ve been talking about?”

"Ah, the seventy-second emperor, we call him Emperor Jiang."

"Historically known as—Emperor Jiang Li".
