Ming Dynasty, New Rome, and Infinite Divine Machine

But on the other hand, as a person, no matter how broad his wisdom is, no matter how far he goes in building human civilization, he cannot escape the fate of living things. As a living thing, it will suffer from birth, old age, illness and death.

Low-level jellyfish have no self-awareness. Their bodies can be replaced at will like the ship of Theseus, so they can achieve a certain degree of immortality. However, it is impossible for advanced creatures like humans to completely replace their own body structures like jellyfish. The emperors, generals and ministers throughout the ages, as well as the common people, can only live in the history books. Some people can leave specific names in history books, and some people can leave their own shadows. But in the end, they were all gone.

But soon, it can even be said to be "now", the birth, aging, sickness and death inherent in this creature will soon fade away from some human beings.

If this is a kind of sublimation, then the one walking at the forefront is Shangluo in front of Master Sa.

His evolution speed is faster than Wang Lingguan in the script, and faster than Digimon or Pokémon - jellyfish have no central nervous system, so they can naturally remain immortal at will. But for Shangluo, can this kind of sublimation of life really allow him to always regard himself as a human being?

The answer to this question is obviously "not necessarily". This is because it has been a common practice since ancient times for chivalrous people to use force to break the ban. People with strength can easily break through the barriers set up for ordinary people.

A knight who breaks the law with force may not necessarily do bad things. But if more and more people can use the barriers of society as buses to come and go as they please, then this society will only see who is more "forceful" and who can break the "law". Sa Shoujian does not know what consequences this will bring.

But what is certain is that the court is doing well now. Everyone has movies to watch, watermelon to eat, and train rides. Everyone is living well and there is no need to touch it.

As an ancient in the true sense, Master Sa Tian likes the present day very much. He doesn't want this world to fall apart.

And now, the person most capable of safeguarding all of this has just appeared. That is Shangluo who holds the Tribulation Thunder.

"So, boy, you may be more important than you think. When you were chosen to form the Lei Department, it seemed that something was destined to happen."

"what?"

"You're about to know. Taojun rules the world with emptiness and tranquility, so he doesn't have to be a human being. But the world is about to become lively, and he can't stay still no matter how quiet he is."

Suddenly, he paused and looked at Yuxi Palace not far away.

"Interesting, the meeting is cancelled. Shangluo, no need to go."

"what???"

"It seems that Lord Dao and I have other things to say, and so do other heavenly masters. We have not yet reached a consensus. However, I can tell you the consensus between us - the imperial court needs your help. thunder."

"Yeah." Shangluo nodded, "I will definitely help."

"It's not just that I need your help; I need you to enforce the laws of the Heavenly Principle. Before that, let me confirm. Where's your date?"

"Here it is." Shangluo took out the cursed dates from his arms.

The moment he saw the cursed date - even though he was wearing sunglasses, Shangluo could see Master Sa's expression trembling again behind the sunglasses.

He took the cursed date from Shangluo's hand, looked at it before his eyes, and then swallowed it in one gulp.

He closed his eyes and paused for a few seconds. Shangluo could vaguely see scenes from another world flashing through Sa Tianshi's eyes - seals in Alaska were leaping out of the water; seagulls on the other side of the Pacific were holding French fries, and macaques in Qianling Mountain were climbing up holding mobile phones. At the top of the tree, there are all kinds of things in the world, and a white horse passes through the gap. Same as here, but very different.

"Very good." He looked at Shangluo, "Now I can confirm it. The power of the Heavenly Tribulation is in your hands. If this power reaches inhuman hands, it will cause great changes in the world, causing the sky to collapse to the northwest and the earth to collapse to the southeast. But now, there is no second Nuwa to mend the sky."

"Am I that powerful now?"

"I can tell you the truth - the only ones who can take you down now are the four heavenly masters including me. In the golden elixir stage, even the red sperm who are about to break through to the Nascent Soul stage, I will also think you are very difficult. As for Lan Daoxing and his ilk, if you work harder and clear the level, you may be able to beat him 50-50."

“So it’s so powerful now!”

"Because of the heavenly tribulation, we specialize in killing monks." Master Sa Tian gave the answer, "Monks, after all, go against heaven. In order to break through birth, old age, illness and death, monks use their mental power to conquer all things to transcend. Every move you make has a heavenly tribulation. Adding a body will shake the monk's foundation and destroy his body and soul. And the more detached from the world, the more undeserving of life, the easier it is to be harmed by heavenly calamity - "

He paused for a moment: "Let me give you an example. General Dongshou of Jinyiwei has not made a breakthrough for a long time. As a heavenly being, his five declines as a heavenly being are coming. He has also exceeded the lifespan of a mortal by too much. He His foundation has been shaken by the five degenerations of heaven and man, and your curse is a life-threatening talisman for him, and I am afraid it will kill him immediately."

"Ah, master, are you okay?"

"It's nothing serious. Your cultivation level can't touch me, just Xiaojiao. I have to go get a drink of water, and that's all for today's class. You can go back in the car."

He waved his hand, indicating that Shangluo could go back first.

"When will we old men have discussed this, we will call you over again."

"I understand. Then I'll go see the Emperor first."

"Well, go ahead." As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly added, "The monkey game over there is quite fun. You have to work harder to move it over. I haven't finished it yet."

"what?"

[Have you finished your class? Finished? 】

"It's over. There are just some things I want to analyze with you. Master Sa ate the cursed dates and seemed to be playing the video games at my house?"

【Don’t worry about the game yet! Come and help me! This car can't stand it! 】

Chapter 875 Sports Car

When Shangluo rushed to the parking lot, the four wheels of the car were skidding in place. The front wheels turn backward and the rear wheels turn forward. The rear wheels spin faster, but there are two pairs of front wheels. They were so frozen between each other that the tires were about to burst.

"By the way." Suddenly, Master Sa Tian sent a message, "This car actually has automatic driving. However, it is not recommended to use it there."

"Ah! Then why?"

"That's what their people said when I picked it up. I don't like to cause trouble for myself, so when they said don't drive the autopilot, I stopped driving. If you are interested, think about it for yourself."

【No need to think about it! I know why - those useless guys may be afraid of what's in this car! There's a devil in this car! 】

"Ah!" He quickly wrote back to Master Sa Tian and briefly explained the situation.

"Really?" Master Sa Tian replied after a while, "I don't feel any malice."

[Devils are the most discerning. They are also afraid of death. They bully the weak and fear the strong. By the way, I am not a soft persimmon! Why am I rebelling here? 】

"I remembered." Sa Shoujian replied, "I don't drive much on weekdays, so I almost forgot - remember to take out the car keys. I forgot to take out the car keys when I left."

[Why did someone put the key in it after parking the car? 】

Without Shangluo taking action, Apollonia ejected the car key directly. The car stopped.

[Fortunately. Fortunately] She breathed a sigh of relief, [Fortunately, this car has at least passed the ethics review of the Muse Palace. I don't know why a demon would be so messed up here, but as a car, it at least requires a car key to start. 】

"Well, if that's the case." Shangluo held the car door, climbed in, and picked up the car keys.

【What are you doing! Just a sec! I'm not ready yet! 】

"Don't worry, let me do it." He inserted the car key back into its original position - the front and rear wheels began to push against the cow again. But this time it seems that the rear wheel is not holding up well.

【Hello! What do you want to do? I can't stand it anymore! I don't know if this car is insured or not. What if I scratch someone else's car? 】

Shangluo took out a small hammer and banged it hard on the bridge: "If there is any loss, let this devil pay for it!"

With one hammer blow, the entire car became silent. The movement of the front wheels reversing stopped immediately.

But the driver controlling the rear wheels was still moving forward. It didn't stop for a while and directly hit the cement limiter. The brand new front end of the car made a rumble and fell flat on the cement surface.

【.】Apolonia paused, 【Ah! ! ! sorry! Don't ask me to pay for it! I really have no money to compensate you! Really, really, sorry! sorry! 】

"It's okay, you can see for yourself."

Shangluo pointed to the front of the car - the front of the car that had been twisted just now was slowly returning to its original shape. The bumper and grille that were flattened by the impact are slowly returning to their original shape.

(a series of metallic twisting sounds)

The car has been restored to its original condition and is like new. The traces of Apollonia's accidental collision were completely gone, and even the mirror paint of the car was restored to its original state.

Shangluo got out of the car and walked to the front of the hood——

The silver paint reflects everything around it like a mirror. Shangluo stared at the mirror, took out the hammer with one hand, and played with the black lightning with the other:

"Try again if you have the ability."

【.】Apolonia didn't say anything either, listening to Shangluo lecture the demon in the car.

"If you understand, turn on the lights."

(Click of car lights)

The car lights were turned on without any hesitation.

Shangluo hit the engine cover directly with a heavy hammer. The hood was smashed by him, creating a hole, and black lightning poured into it with the hammer blow.

The lights flickered madly, and the dashboard and engine shuddered painfully together.

Shangluo pointed at the hood and shouted, "What's wrong?! You're not allowed to use high beams when driving in the city at night! Got it! Fix the car! Turn off the high beams!"

The dent in the hood returned to its original shape, faster than before.

Shangluo walked back to the car door, turned over and sat in the driver's seat, shifted to reverse gear and started to move the car.

[Wow, it will be great when I can be so powerful. 】

"Don't fight with it. Don't you have any magic? Beat him. How were these demons sealed in? They were not beaten in. Since they were beaten in from the beginning, just beat him a few more times. The more you beat him, the more he will be honest.”

[Oh] Apollonia responded.

"Oh, by the way, why is there a devil in this perpetual motion machine? Is there a devil in every perpetual motion machine? Or is it only in this one?"

[I don’t know, I don’t know which demon god it is. 】

"I'll call Karin later and ask her to check it out in the library. Let's make do with it today."

[Oh, by the way, there is something you forgot. 】Looking at Shangluo sitting in the driver's seat, she asked, "Don't you have a driver's license?" 】

"???" Shangluo was stunned for a moment, "Yes, I just said you can't break the law with force. Fortunately, no one saw it."

[But you have already moved the car! 】

"Hey, this is a parking lot, not a public road. It doesn't matter if I don't drive out." He climbed over the middle armrest box, sat in the passenger seat, and then knocked on the driver's seat:

"Hey! Drive! Take me to the Grand Palace!"

Once the devil in this car is tamed, autonomous driving will be available.

Precisely and efficiently, the stretch sports car maneuvered itself out of the parking space and drove out of the parking lot.

Once on the road, the convertible's awning automatically raised, covering the driver's seat to prevent what was going on in the car from being seen - it was already responding.

We drove all the way to the gate of Xiamafang, where civil servants dismounted their sedan chairs and military attachés dismounted their horses. Only the Chuiwan car inside the Grand Palace could be driven. Wen Yuan was already sitting in the driver's seat waiting for him.

"Wait a moment." Shangluo got out of the car and looked around - he found the horse tethering post in front of the dismounting stable. Taking out his mobile phone, he pulled out the antenna of the mobile phone. This was the [Light Silver] that Zhang Tianshi Sanfeng Immortal gave him previously. He stretched the light silver, tied one end to the hook near the bumper, and held the other end in his hand.

"Come here!" he shouted, and the car he was holding followed him to the hitching post and was tied up by him.

"Wow" Wen Yuan was stunned, "What kind of car is this? You even have to tie it up when you get out of the car?"

"I'm afraid it will run away." After saying that, Shangluo stepped forward and took out the car keys and put them in his arms, "Let's go."

"Do you want some fodder for this car?"

The car horn beeped.

"You really need fodder!" Wen Yuan asked, "Should we eat No. 95 or No. 98?"

"This kind of Roman stuff probably eats drachmas. I'm going to look for it. There is indeed a coin slot. Wait, I'm going to look for any change."

Chapter 876 Mountain Road

"The drachm, where is the drachm wallet?" He looked for it in the package. Shangluo remembered that there was still a little bit left, which was leftover from eating ice cream in Alexandria before. Because it has never been spent, it is still there.

"Strange, where's the wallet? I said, Apollonia, I suddenly remembered - didn't you move that big mountain of drachma back? Where's the money?"

【ah? It has already been spent. Didn’t you agree at that time? 】

"I didn't say anything at the time. But you spent a mountain of drachmas, what did you buy?"

[It's coming, it's coming, it's been shipped. 】

"Okay. Let me treat it as a trophy. You also have the right to dispose of the trophy. Of course you can decide what to buy. But since we want to use it together, I want to ask, is the thing you bought very practical?"

【Very practical! So practical! You must also find it very practical! 】

"Okay, but I don't have any drachms on hand." He looked at Wen Yuan, "Is there anything else? Lend me two coins? It was fine if I didn't give it. But I said I would give it, so I don't want to break my promise. to it.”

"Five yuan or ten yuan?"

"No, it's the 20 drachma coins Rome gave us when we went to Alexandria last time."

"Ah!" Wen Yuan remembered, "I always carry one with me as a souvenir. Remember to give me one back later."

"Absolutely." Shangluo waved his hand.

Taking the coin from Wen Yuan's hand - he knew he must return it.

Master Sa's words just now made him realize his current destructive power and the importance of his "being a human being". And friends become even more valuable.

He doesn't have many friends, but he still has a few. If it had been just last month, I would have thought that such thoughts were purely due to excessive self-awareness - because he was indeed not much better than Wen Yuan. If he threw away all the magic weapons, he might not be able to defeat Wen Yuan.

But after the thunderbolt entered his body, a dangerous thought sprouted in his heart: He held a hammer in his hand, and everyone looked like a nail. Even as a friend, he had the idea of ​​hammering him for a moment - he even wanted to hammer the gate of the Forbidden City when he saw it.
