Youzhou City ushered in the early morning.The day had just dawned, and in the morning light, which was still cold, Guo Wentian had already passed through the small half of the Hidden Dragon Sea alone and came to Li Huacheng's residence.There were no guards, no assistants, no staff in front of the solemn and solemn building.Guo Wentian walked in silently, approached the study familiarly, and heard the faint sound of talking inside??.??
The voice was short, just a muffled word, and then the study became quiet.Guo Wentian stood silently in front of the door, without saying a word.An incomparably oppressive atmosphere seems to be spreading outward around the study."
Wentian is here, come in."
Li Huacheng's voice clearly penetrated the door of the study and landed in Guo Wentian's ears.Guo Wentian was quiet for two seconds, stretched out his hand, and slowly pushed open the door of the study.The large study was already smoky.Hua Zhengyang sat on Li Huacheng's side.Wan Qingyun sat opposite Li Huacheng.And Zhou Yunhai, whose residence was closer to Li Huacheng, seemed to have come a while earlier and sat opposite Hua Zhengyang.On the sofa in the corner sat the eldest Zou Mulin.There was a fruit bowl on the coffee table, and an ashtray with some dried fruits.Hua Zhengyang seemed to be the first to come, the tea in front of him was already cold, and he didn't have the heart to add water, the tea in front of the other extremely directors was steaming, but no one took a sip.The five giants, each with a cigarette in their hands at this time, the smoke is rising and filling, and the smell is a little pungent.Guo Wentian found a place and sat down."
Didn't get a good rest?"
Hua Zhengyang, who was closest to him, casually pushed the cigarette in front of Guo Wentian and asked in a low voice."
I didn't sleep all night."
Guo Wentian smiled bitterly and shook his head, he didn't look very tired after sleepless night, but there was an extremely thick blankness in his eyes.He took a cigarette and lit it, inhaled deeply, the mellow smoke was inhaled by him and slowly exhaled, he raised his head and looked at several colleagues in front of him, and said in a low voice, "How are you thinking about it?"
”He was met with silence.Until the sound of footsteps broke the silence again.The door to the study was pushed open from the outside.Dongcheng Invincible and Ji Wen walked in.The eyes of the two of them followed that of everyone present, and they all found a random place to sit down.Not counting Chen Fangqing, who has passed away, the eight giants sat neatly in Li Huacheng's study again.This is clearly not a formal meeting.But their identities sitting here are also destined to make this party impossible to turn into small talk.Li Huacheng's gaze started from the invincible in Dongcheng and looked over one by one.Some of these seven people were called by themselves, such as Guo Wentian, such as Dongcheng Invincible.
<</di>br> and there are also active door-to-door visits.For example, Hua Zhengyang, such as Ji Wenwen and Wan Qingyun, and the same is true for Zou Mulin and Zhou Yunhai.Just a few people, but divided into several different minds.Li Huacheng was a little tired, but he still had to do things.The aftermath of the battle between Li Tianlan and Jiang Shangyu completely shook all forces.Irresistible natural disasters swept through most of Victorian State, and nearly two million people were directly affected, and the damage was impossible to count.The deep-sea fleet was heavily damaged, and the losses are equally incalculable.The entire urban area that disappeared in Youzhou is as shocking, although the evacuation is timely, but such a thing cannot be explained, Li Huacheng and others really can't think of a suitable reason, and the current reluctant statement is to use new technology to demolish and rebuild that urban area.But not everyone in this world is stupid, such an outrageous explanation has a wide range of channels, but someone has to believe it.In addition to the disaster that swept through the fog capital at the beginning.It seems that all kinds of things have a chain reaction, and all kinds of comments on the Internet are constantly appearing, and ordinary people may not know what is happening, but the uneasy atmosphere has begun to brew.In such a situation, Xuanyuan Wuxian used the protection of Zhongzhou as a bargaining chip, and invited several of their directors, and even the entire council to join the East Palace to join the East Palace, they naturally could not be the palace master, the palace master could only be Li Tianlan, once they joined the East Palace, what this meant was self-evident.Xuanyuan Wuxian did not force them, but also gave them time to think about it, and the result of their consideration was to gather in Li Huacheng's office again.Li Tianlan's background is no longer a secret.Therefore, among the eight giants, Dongcheng Invincible, who is his biological father, whether he agrees or opposes, what he says is inappropriate, he can only remain silent, so Li Huacheng will take the initiative to invite him over, otherwise he will not come at all.And Guo Wentian and Li Tianlan have a very poor relationship, and the groups on both sides are also constantly rubbing, but now it is related to the fate of Zhongzhou, personal grievances and even group grievances must be put aside, he undoubtedly does not want to join the East Palace, but he also does not dare to bear the consequences, so he can't say he disagrees, he can only stalemate, and then he also received an invitation from Li Huacheng.In addition, Ji Wenwen and Wan Qingyun are the pillars of the Southeast Group, and they have a close relationship with the Beihai Wang Clan.But seriously speaking, they are not subordinates of the Beihai Wang Clan, under normal circumstances, within the rules, their position will be very clear, but the current situation is obviously not a conflict of interest, but the fate of the entire civilization, they cannot completely listen to the Beihai Wang Clan.Wang Shengxiao was inclined to everyone to join the Eastern Imperial Palace, but this position was only a reference for Ji Wenwen and Wan Qingyun, and it was not enough to influence their decision.They are also having a hard time making decisions at the moment.Then, there are Zou Mulin and Zhou Yunhai.They are close to Li Tianlan, but they are not absolutely their own people, so their entanglements are estimated to be a lot more than others.In the end, Li Huacheng and Hua Zhengyang's latter position does not need to be considered, Li Huacheng knows very well that no matter what he decides, Hua Zhengyang will support it, but the problem is that he doesn't know what to say.He is tendentious, and very clear, one might even say extremely determined.He had seen Lin Xuanyuan, knew part of the truth about this world, and even knew the identities that Li Tianlan and Qin Weibai didn't know now, all of which was enough for Li Huacheng to make the most correct choice.But now he is having a headache about how not to cause chaos within his own people when he joins the Eastern Imperial Palace.Once he joins the East Imperial Palace, before the end of the world, on the surface, he can be said to be the most profitable, what will others think?
Once this result is confirmed, not to mention Guo Wentian's reaction, it is estimated that the academy will strongly oppose it, so that the huge chaos will break out directly before the end, and Li Huacheng can't afford this result at all??.??
His biggest headache is time.The second level of spiritual authority is called the Guide.This is Li Huacheng's favorite authority, and it is also the best ability to play different roles at the right time, make appropriate guidance, and guide the whole situation in his favor.But it also takes time to boot.If he has enough time to lay out, he can control the situation little by little, and finally push the situation forward, leaving everyone speechless.But it was obviously impossible for him to do this during this period of a month.So the current situation is that Li Huacheng has a choice and is in an awkward situation, while others have no choice but to stalemate.Time passed little by little in a dreary and oppressive atmosphere.Li Huacheng put out the cigarette in his hand in the ashtray and said calmly, "Everyone, I am not a place for you to be in a daze, the situation is already obvious, what do you say?"
”"What about you, Speaker?
What do you think?
”Guo Wentian asked as he stared at Li Huacheng's expression tightly.Li Huacheng was silent for a moment.At this moment, not only Guo Wentian, but almost everyone was carefully observing the changes in Li Huacheng's expression."
What do I think, it's not the most important thing" Li Huacheng said slowly, his eyes looked at everyone without evasion, "The most important thing is whether you believe in the end of the world, and whether you believe that Tianlan can protect Zhongzhou" He didn't say whether Zhongzhou had the power to resist Li Tianlan, this is another question, and it is also of a different nature."
If the end of the world refers to the impact of these super masters on ordinary people, the facts are in front of you, and it is useless for everyone to believe it or not."
</di> Guo Wentian said calmly, "But I don't understand, what is the inevitable connection between this and Li Tianlan must master Zhongzhou, he is already a strong man standing at the pinnacle, in the face of other masters, he wants to protect Zhongzhou, he can fight, if he doesn't want to protect Zhongzhou, he can also not fight Xuanyuan Wuxian, saying that this is not a condition, not an ambition, but what is the result?"
The result is that if we don't surrender, Li Tianlan refuses to protect Zhongzhou, what is this?
Threat?
”"Now we're talking about the end of the world."
Li Huacheng shook his head, "What exactly does the end refer to, I don't know, and if Xuanyuan Wuxian can say it, there is no need to hide it now, obviously, he can't say it, but I think that if the personal force is out of control, it should be only a part of the end of the world, in addition, what else, that should be the content that he can't say, and even that is the most important content" "In Xuanyuan Wuxian's hypothesis, when the end comes, there will be many masters at the same level as Tianlan, Qin Weibai, and Jiang Shangyu, dozens of themWho will these people be, hundreds, if not more?
In the current dark world, there don't seem to be many similar candidates, so where did these people come from?
The so-called aliens?
Or is there something that has changed that has led to a small group of people becoming more powerful?
What is such a change" "The statement of the end of the world, I put it forward, this represents my position, I believe that the end will come, and there will be a clear signal, it will not be the battle that can shake the whole world right now, but in fact it will not have much impact, but it will appear in a clearer way in front of everyone It could be a natural disaster, it could be a meteorite impact, it could be something else So the problem now is with you. ”Li Huacheng said in a deep voice: "Let's not consider the impact of personal combat effectiveness, we can treat these as non-existent, we only think that the end is a prophecy."
A month at most, no, it's not even a month now, and in more than twenty days, an end that can threaten the entire civilization will appear, we don't know what it is, and there is no way to explain it, I'm just on my side, on the Speaker's side, and I confirm that it does exist I can't show any evidence.So, would you like to believe it?
”No one spoke.Everyone looked at each other."
I know it's difficult, but time is running out, and you have to make a choice for Middle-earth now."
Li Huacheng smiled bitterly, "Actually, Xuanyuan Wuxian has one of the most direct questions, it's hard to hear, do you want to listen?"
”"What's the problem?"
Guo Wentian asked subconsciously."
You, us, everyone" Li Huacheng said slowly, "The end is coming, do you want to die or live?"
”Abandon any position, do not consider any idea, in the most intuitive situation.To die or to live, that's the simplest and most straightforward question.
