Chapter 595 It seems that you are the lord of the Golden City?
After this incident, Lu Qing suddenly didn't feel so bad. With his understanding of the way of heaven since childhood, he knew that even if he no longer talked to himself about emotional matters, at least he would not push himself further away. At least it was much better than what he had imagined when he cut himself in half.
That’s right, in fact, he had long known that Jinglin was the Heavenly Dao, and he also knew that the Heavenly Dao would absolutely not do anything to him because of physical desires.
It is precisely because he will not do anything to himself that Lu Qing is most afraid of.
He was not afraid of God's punishment, even if he punished himself to kneel, put himself in solitary confinement, or go to the top of a snowy mountain to reflect on his mistakes, as long as he was still willing to see him, it would be fine.
Jiang Luo's figure gradually walked away, but Lu Qing still stood there, following his back with his eyes, and the smile on his lips did not diminish. He knew that although Jiang Luo always seemed cold and indifferent on the surface, he actually cared about the people around him more than anyone else.
"What a duplicity." Lu Qing whispered to himself, shook his head, then turned back to the mother tree and sat down again. He looked up at the huge mother tree, its branches and leaves shone green in the sun, as if responding to his gaze.
At this time, Fan Wujiu walked out of his sea of consciousness and looked in the direction where Jiang Luo disappeared. He also saw what happened just now and asked, "Is he not that disgusted with us?"
Lu Qing immediately reached out his hand to stop him, saying, "It's for us, not you. You'd better hide yourself well and don't hang around in front of him unless necessary."
Fan Wujiu happily lay down under the tree roots and said, "Don't worry, I'm not that crazy. Don't forget, when I first came back to him, I hid my true nature very well."
Lu Qing snorted coldly: "You'd better do this. Don't forget that the calamity of lust is still on you."
Fan Wujiu hissed and said, "You know that? I am the one who is suffering the most. You'd better be nice to me."
In the next few days, Lu Qing gradually recovered his strength, and the production and life in Qingmu City were back on track. The processing technology of breadfruit and spiritual coconut became more and more mature, and the residents smiled again. The branches and leaves of the mother tree sparkled in the sun, as if announcing her rebirth to the world.
Everyone can see the changes in Aoki City. The residents are active again, and the streets are gradually returning to their former bustle. The breadfruit and coconut processing industries are also booming, and the economy of Aoki City is recovering at a visible speed.
During this period of time, the breadfruit from Qingmu City was sold on a large scale to the capital and Chishui City, feeding tens of millions of people.
People also gradually found a lot of food and seeds before the rules collapsed, and the vegetables and fruits they planted gradually began to be put on the market. Seeing that the three cities that had restored the rules were gradually getting back on track, Jiang Luo also began to consider the next plan.
Jiang Luo gathered all the core members together again and prepared to hold a small meeting to discuss the matter of Golden City.
In fact, since they destroyed the Human Emperor, it has only been a matter of time for the other cities to restore the rules. Now that Qingmu City has resumed operation, these vast tracts of forest should be able to feed hundreds of millions of people, and the other main cities should be able to restore the rules as much as possible.
The four teams, Liu Tongan, Huo Yancheng and Lu Qing were all called to the mother tree to attend the meeting.
This was the first time Liu Tongan saw the mother tree. As soon as he saw it, he exclaimed: "When I was a child, I learned a text called Bird's Paradise. This tree is bigger than Bird's Paradise, right? This trunk... is almost as big as a small hill!"
Lin Shishuang chuckled and said, "You haven't seen the world, have you? The whole Qingmu City is a paradise for birds. Look at the breadfruit on this tree. It's their staple food, just like the rice and steamed buns we have over there."
Liu Tongan widened his eyes, looked up at the huge mother tree, and exclaimed: "This is amazing! Can the breadfruit on this tree really feed so many people?"
Lin Shishuang patted his shoulder and said with a smile: "It's more than just feeding people. The residents of Qingmu City can also use it to exchange for resources that other cities don't have. The starch of breadfruit can be used as a staple food, it can be used as a filling for dessert, and it can even be used to make wine. The coconut milk and coconut meat of Lingye are also rare delicacies. These are all the 'treasures' of Qingmu City!"
Liu Tongan couldn't help but sigh: "No wonder you guys were able to recover so quickly. This mother tree is simply the lifeblood of Qingmu City! No, it can be said to be the lifeblood of the entire 2073 world line!"
After being here for such a long time, Liu Tongan has already had a general understanding of the 2073 world line. It is not divided into several countries and many continents like the 0001 world line.
There is only one continent in the 2073 world line, and there is no crustal movement. Even if the continent drifts, it is the entire continent that drifts.
Therefore, there is only one country in the 2073 world line, and that country is called China. They do not have many races, and are mainly composed of yellow and brown people.
The supreme ruler of this country is the Human Emperor. Previously, the Human Emperor colluded with the World Master, causing the rules of the 2073 world line to fall into chaos.
Now that the Human Emperor has been killed, the 2073 world line is in ruins and will enter a new era of development.
Jiang Luo stood aside, his eyes swept over the crowd, and said in a deep voice: "The mother tree has indeed brought new vitality to Qingmu City, but the threat of Golden City is still there. They will not sit idly by and watch Qingmu City recover. We must prepare in advance."
Lu Qing nodded in agreement: "The gold energy of Golden City has a natural restraining effect on the wood energy of Qingmu City. If they succeed, the mother tree of Qingmu City is likely to be threatened again."
Huo Yancheng frowned and asked, "How strong is Golden City? How many of them can pose a threat to us?"
Jiang Luo said in a deep voice: "The Lord of Golden City controls the power of the golden core, and his strength should not be underestimated. In addition, they also have an elite force composed of high-level spiritual masters, who are specifically responsible for dealing with practitioners of wood-attribute spiritual power."
Chu Jianglan from the fourth team said coldly: "In other words, their goal is very clear - to completely suppress the wood energy of Qingmu City?"
Jiang Luo nodded: "That's right. If we let them succeed, Qingmu City will probably fall into a state of withering again."
Lin Shishuang clenched his fists and said angrily: "Then we must strike first! We can't let them have the chance to attack Qingmu City!"
Lu Qing glanced at Jiang Luo and said firmly, "I agree. The threat from Golden City must be resolved as soon as possible. We can act separately. Jiang Luo will lead a group of people to divert their attention head-on, and I will lead four small teams to sneak into Golden City, find their gold core, and destroy it in one fell swoop."
Jiang Luo pondered for a moment, nodded and said: "Okay, let's follow this plan. However, the security inside the Golden City is very strict, you must be careful."
Lu Qing smiled and said in a relaxed tone: "Don't worry, I know my limits."
Jiang Luo glanced at him and said calmly, "You know your limits? I don't think so."
Lu Qing was choked and smiled helplessly: "Then just give me more trust."
Jiang Luo did not respond, but turned to look at the others and said in a deep voice: "Everyone, the battle in Golden City will be a tough one. We must not only protect Qingmu City, but also buy time for the recovery of other cities. This operation must not fail!"
Everyone responded in unison: "Understood!"
At this moment, Fan Wujiu's voice suddenly rang out in Lu Qing's sea of consciousness: "Hey, are you sure you don't want to take me with you? I'm very good at infiltration."
Lu Qing responded in his mind: "You'd better stay here. This operation is too risky. Your physical calamity has not been resolved yet. Don't cause trouble for Jiang Luo."
Fan Wujiu sneered, with a hint of ridicule in his tone: "Are you so afraid of me meeting him? Don't worry, I won't do anything rash."
Lu Qing said in a deep voice: "I'm not kidding. The golden energy of the Golden City will have a significant impact on you. You'd better not take any risks."
Fan Wujiu was silent for a moment, and finally let out a "tsk" and said no more.
After the meeting, everyone went their separate ways to prepare. Lu Qing returned to the mother tree, looked up at the emerald green canopy, and made up his mind: "This time, I will never let Qingmu City fall into crisis again."
Jiang Luo walked up to him and asked calmly, "What are you thinking about?"
Lu Qing turned to look at him and smiled easily: "I was thinking, after this is over, should we celebrate properly?"
Jiang Luo glanced at him and said calmly, "Let's talk about it after it's over."
Lu Qing smiled and said nothing more. He knew that although Jiang Luo always looked cold on the surface, he cared about his safety more than anyone else. It was this tacit understanding and trust that gave him the courage to face all challenges.
A few days later, night fell in the forest outside the Golden City.
Lu Qing and the four teams hid in the woods, looking at the towering walls of the Golden City from afar. The walls were brightly lit, and patrolling soldiers were walking back and forth, on high alert.
Lu Qing whispered to the four teams, "Once Jiang Luo makes a move, we will take the opportunity to sneak in. Remember, our target is the gold core, don't fight too long."
Everyone nodded in agreement, then held their breath and waited for the opportunity.
At the same time, the team led by Jiang Luo had quietly approached the main gate of the Golden City. He looked up at the city gate in the night, a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes, and then waved his hand, signaling everyone to prepare for action.
With a loud bang, the main gate of the Golden City was hit by a powerful spiritual force, instantly creating a huge gap. The soldiers in the city immediately became alert and gathered towards the city gate.
Jiang Luo sneered, waved the long sword in his hand, and led the team members to rush in. The battle broke out instantly, and the flames of the collision of spiritual power shone in the night sky.
"Now!" Lu Qing saw the battle breaking out at the city gate and immediately ordered action.
The four teams quickly rushed out of the woods and quietly sneaked into the city wall under the cover of night. Their goal was clear, and they headed straight for the core area of the Golden City.
However, just as they were about to approach the golden core, a golden barrier suddenly appeared, blocking their way. A man in a golden robe walked out of the shadows and looked at them coldly: "Sure enough, someone is here to die."
Lu Qing frowned slightly, but soon revealed a calm smile: "It seems that you are the Lord of Golden City?"
The man sneered: "Yes, I am the controller of the golden core power. Do you think you can easily break into my territory? It's just a foolish dream!"
Lu Qing shrugged and said in a relaxed tone: "Let's give it a try. After all, it's not the first time we have ruined other people's plans."
Before he finished speaking, he suddenly raised his hand, and a golden light rushed straight into the barrier. At the same time, the four teams also launched an attack at the same time, and their spiritual power gathered into one attack, instantly shattering the barrier.
The man's face changed drastically, and he roared, "I think you are looking for death! I know that you killed the Jie Ling. However, even if the Jie Ling is dead, do you think there are no more powerful monsters in this world? Although the monsters of a single element cannot complement and counteract each other like the Jie Ling, they can still be invincible under the influence of a powerful element! Show up! Golden Armored Beast!"
