Chapter 269 I Will Save the Human Race
Tens of thousands of years ago, there were no giant shadows appearing on the land of China.

Perhaps a giant shadow had appeared before, but because of the obstruction of the Jiuzhou Barrier formed by the Jiuzhou Tower, its figure and the evil intent it emitted could not be transmitted to the land of Shenzhou.

But starting from ten thousand years ago, the human race in the land of China first sensed the existence of the giant shadow and also felt the malice emanating from it.

Those who sensed all this at that time were the most top gods and demons of the human race, beings who were qualified to be called God Kings.

The gods joined together to explore at that time, but they found that there were layers of barriers and various dangers around the Jiuzhou Tower, and they could not get out at all, or they did not have enough strength to get out.

This is the Kyushu barrier formed by the Kyushu Tower!
Even though the difficulty of getting out is much lower than that of getting in, no God King can leave the Jiuzhou Tower.

After that, the giant shadows appeared more and more frequently, and gradually could be detected by warriors of lower levels, from top-level gods and demons to high-level gods and demons, from high-level gods and demons to mid-level gods and demons...until now even demigods can detect them.

This means that the power of the Jiuzhou Tower is rapidly declining, and the Jiuzhou barrier protecting the land of China is also rapidly weakening, otherwise such a change would not have happened.

The gods and demons of the human race united to conduct a careful investigation and discovered the truth. The Demon Suppression Bureau came into being at that time and expanded to the entire land of China at an astonishing speed.

Demons and monsters are slayed everywhere, especially those that destroy the spiritual veins, water veins, and precious lands of China, which are the focus of elimination.

These demons and monsters didn't know where they got the news from, but they knew that destroying these things would cause the Kyushu barrier to collapse, allowing the world-destroying demons and monsters from the outside world to come in.

There is even the possibility of stepping into a higher level, so many demons and monsters are doing this.

Under this threat, the major human forces had to unite and give the Demon Suppression Bureau more and more power and convenience, and even directly provide resources and treasures to support it, just to kill as many demons and monsters as possible and avoid the destruction of the Kyushu barrier.

But even so, the Kyushu barrier was constantly being destroyed, more and more giant shadows appeared, and more and more people could sense the existence of the giant shadows.

According to an ancient book, there have been several giant shadows that have appeared frequently since ten thousand years ago. The oldest one appeared ten thousand years ago and has not died until now.

This giant shadow looks like a black turtle and is most likely a turtle-like black monster, also known as a black demon. The opposite of it are naturally black demons, black ghosts and black monsters.

If he is a human warrior, he is naturally a Xuanren, and is collectively called Xuanzun.

The beginning of the mystery, the supreme master of the mystery, is Xuan Zun.

In the past hundred years, almost every few years, a giant shadow appears and gallops across the land of China, bringing huge threats and malice to everyone.

There are even divine formation masters who are good at formations who have calculated that at this rate, it would only take a few thousand years for the Jiuzhou Tower to collapse.

Jiuzhou Tower is the core of the Jiuzhou Barrier. Once the Jiuzhou Tower collapses, the Jiuzhou Barrier will be destroyed, and then all human beings will be destroyed.

Although it was only an estimate, many gods and demons already believed it to a small extent. They have been slaying demons and eliminating evil over the years in an attempt to prevent the collapse of the Jiuzhou barrier and maintain the Jiuzhou Tower as long as possible.

But some gods and demons thought that this was alarmist. The Jiuzhou Tower had existed for hundreds of thousands of years, so how could it collapse so easily? It must be a lie, so they continued to do as they pleased.

But on the whole, because of the occasional appearance of the giant shadow and its strong malice, most gods and demons are still more trusting, so they are not so unscrupulous when doing things.

The reason why the human race in the land of Shenzhou has been able to maintain basic peace in recent years and not fight each other so fiercely, and even the three major divine dynasties have rarely had frictions, is all because of this incident.

However, many high-ranking human leaders are aware that they prefer internal fighting to the world-destroying monsters outside. At least the human race will not suffer a catastrophic disaster.

This also proves that Lu Changjing's previous perception was not wrong. The giant shadow outside did have the intention to destroy the world, or to be more precise, the intention to destroy the entire human race.

His hard work over the years has not been in vain, and he must work harder in the future.

If we were to say who in today's Shenzhou is most likely to break through the shackles and step above the gods and demons, it would most likely be Lu Changjing.

So if the Kyushu barrier really collapses thousands of years later, Lu Changjing will be needed to save the world.

With the golden finger in his hand, he will definitely live until the day when the Kyushu barrier collapses, so facing this crisis, he has to go even if he doesn't want to.

Thinking of this, Lu Changjing couldn't help but smile bitterly. He didn't expect that those giant shadows would be related to him in the end.

As for whether or not to take his loved ones and escape from here, not to mention whether he can break through the Kyushu barrier, even if he can, there are so many world-destroying demons and monsters outside, how can he deal with them?

If we can deal with it, why should we flee from China?

Even if there was a shortcut to escape quietly, the human race had been wiped out, so where could he and his family escape to?

Besides, who knows if the world-destroying trolls outside are only at the Xuanzun level? What if there are monsters and demons at a higher level?

Even if he could break through to the Xuanzun level, how would he be able to cope with higher-level monsters and demons when the time comes?

But a few thousand years should be enough for him to reach a very high level, Xuan Zun is sure of it, what if he can reach a higher level?

Just based on Kongkong'er's memory, thousands of years is just the speculation of some divine formation masters. Some divine formation masters also claim that it will not take thousands of years, maybe just a few hundred years, or even shorter.

If there were really only a few hundred years, or even a hundred years, or even a few decades, Lu Changjing was not sure whether he would have sufficient cultivation and strength before that.

Therefore, what he can do now is to waste as little time as possible and improve his cultivation level, so that when the disaster comes, he will have the strength to resolve the disaster or escape.

Thinking of this, Lu Changjing also felt a sense of powerlessness, a feeling far greater than before.

Even when he had just come through, he did not feel this powerless.

Jiuzhou Tower, Jiuzhou Barrier, world-destroying monsters and demons, the survival of the human race...all of this is too heavy for even Lu Changjing, who has been hiding behind the scenes, to handle.

Perhaps I should be more unscrupulous in the future so that I can improve faster, not only for myself, but also for the people around me, and most importantly for the human race.

Even if he goes too far and has no bottom line, he has his reasons and he won't feel bad about it.

Since many people in the human race have no overall view and think that they will not live to that time, so they act recklessly or deliberately act like ostriches. It is no wonder that Lu Changjing stood up and collected as many resources and treasures of the human race as possible to upgrade to a higher level.

Perhaps some humans are not like this. They have a sense of crisis and want to save the human race, but they do not have enough talent and qualifications, or they just have a golden finger.

Then we can only rely on Lu Changjing!
Thinking of this, Lu Changjing inexplicably felt like a saint, a saint who robbed everything in the world, a saint who never stopped stealing.

And he did this for the sake of humanity, for the land of China, and for countless ordinary people.

I can't be so cautious in the future. I have to take risks occasionally.

He didn't want to die, and he didn't want his loved ones to die. He also didn't want the land of China to be destroyed and the human race to cease to exist.

Taking a deep breath, Lu Changjing began to delete and modify Kong Kong'er's memory, making him obey him in all aspects so that he could do things for him better.

At the same time, I also felt a greater sense of urgency and did things much faster, as if I was afraid of wasting even a minute.

After arranging Kong Kong'er and asking him to continue collecting information and resources for him, Lu Changjing went to find Liu Zhe specifically and deleted and modified his memory so that he could do a better job for him. By the way, he also obtained a lot of secrets of Liehuo Tower.

If there is an opportunity in the future, Lu Changjing will use these secrets to gain more resources and treasures for himself, and he may even attack the Lieyang Divine Dynasty to obtain more good things.

Of course, Liu Zhe would only pass the message to Kong Konger instead of directly to Lu Changjing.

Lu Changjing would get information from Kong Kong'er. This was naturally done to avoid exposing himself. If he found something wrong, Kong Kong'er's information would be passed on to other people, and then passed on to Lu Changjing through other people.

He intertwined himself layer by layer, hiding himself behind the Da Ning Dynasty and the Ning family, making a fortune in silence and avoiding some dangers.

Even if it can be solved, it will always be a waste of time and energy, and what he lacks now is time and energy.

After returning to Baiyujing, Lu Changjing took out a high-level magic pill and put it into his mouth. This was a high-level magic pill used for refining Qi.

As the magic pill fell into his mouth, a surge of medicinal power came rolling in, far surpassing the previous low-level and mid-level magic pills. Lu Changjing was so scared that he quickly activated the characteristics of his copper skin and iron bones to withstand the surging medicinal power.

"Dong dong dong..."

Even though the power of the medicine continued to bombard the Dantian and the Shenmai, it could not damage the Dantian and the Shenmai in the slightest.

Lu Changjing then began to practice the Huangji Jingshi Jue, absorbing the medicinal power of the high-level divine pills. His cultivation level began to improve at an extremely fast speed, far surpassing the previous low-level and mid-level divine pills.

By the time a high-level divine pill was almost digested, more than three hours had passed, and the time required was also longer than that.

This means that if he takes another high-level spirit-refining elixir and another high-level body-refining elixir, it will most likely take more than nine hours, leaving Lu Changjing with only two hours to deal with other things.

It does take a bit of time, but compared to the rapid improvement in energy and spirit, it is nothing and is still worth it.

Lu Changjing took one high-level spirit-refining elixir and one high-level body-refining elixir respectively. It really took more than nine hours, which would have been about nineteen hours in his previous life.

There are still about five hours to do other things, such as practicing combat skills, secret techniques, formation techniques, alchemy... even verbal battles, enjoying imported delicacies, looking for grapes, scratching feet, planting strawberries... are all included.

Although he seems to be often affectionate with his lovers, Lu Changjing has actually never neglected his cultivation. On average, he spends at least ten hours a day on cultivation and improvement, and the time he spends on other things is really pitifully small.

Perhaps it is precisely because there are so few of them that Lu Changjing remembers them so clearly.

Feeling the surge in his energy and spirit, Lu Changjing nodded with satisfaction. Although it cost more and took more time, the improvement was very significant and it was definitely worth the money.

The price of a high-level elixir is generally several hundred top-grade spirit stones. This is the elixir used for daily practice. There is one elixir for essence, energy and spirit each, and the total value reaches more than a thousand top-grade spirit stones.

More than a thousand high-grade spirit stones a day, more than ten thousand high-grade spirit stones in ten days, more than a hundred thousand high-grade spirit stones in a hundred days, and hundreds of thousands of high-grade spirit stones in a year.

The value of a high-grade spirit stone is equivalent to that of one hundred medium-grade spirit stones. If converted into low-grade spirit stones, it would be ten thousand.

In other words, Lu Changjing's daily consumption is at least more than 10 million low-grade spirit stones, which is enough to achieve a cultivation speed in one day that is comparable to that of a god or demon of the same level in one year. You can imagine how terrifying the consumption is.

Even so, this is not the limit that Lu Changjing can reach. If he has enough rare treasures, his cultivation speed can increase tenfold or a hundredfold.

But as for the cost, it is not as simple as ten times or a hundred times. There is almost no upper limit. The price of the rare treasure is so staggering that it far exceeds the elixir and magic medicine used for daily practice. The two are simply incomparable.

For example, the price of one Earth Source Pearl is more than hundreds of thousands of high-quality spirit stones, and it is very expensive. If you really take Earth Source Pearls every day, you can imagine how much it will cost.

Looking at the entire Chinese land, there are almost no gods or demons who are so extravagant, and Lu Changjing can't do it either.

With his speed of practice and consumption, it was already exaggerated for him to be able to take the high-level elixirs and medicines needed for his daily practice every day.

You have to know that if Lu Changjing did not rely on his windfall, that is, if he dealt with those monsters and ghosts above level 20, or human gods and demons, relying solely on the power he currently controls, the profit he would get every month would be worth only one hundred high-quality spirit stones.

This is the number that Lu Changjing just calculated. Compared with an imperial dynasty, this number is already huge and much higher than the previous income of Daning.

One hundred high-grade spirit stones are equivalent to ten thousand medium-grade spirit stones, or one million low-grade spirit stones.

Thinking back to when he had just crossed over, even if he had taken out glass production and gunpowder, his monthly income was only a few thousand low-grade spirit stones. Even so, the Tan Company was already trembling with fear, fearing that something might go wrong.

You should know that Tan's Trading Company is one of the largest trading companies in Daning, firmly ranking among the top three. They are satisfied with the income of several thousand low-grade spirit stones a month. From this, we can see how precious low-grade spirit stones are.

His lovers worked together to gather resources for his cultivation, which added up to only about one thousand low-grade spirit stones, which was already most of their wealth. Many of them even took out their dowries from the bottom of their boxes.

Now he can earn one million low-grade spirit stones a month, which is really not a small amount. This is the income that Lu Changjing obtained by gathering several dynasties and emperors around him, as well as those dynasties and emperors indirectly controlled by Ju Ye.

However, this is not all the income that Lu Changjing has earned. There is another extremely large source of income that he has not included. This is also where Lu Changjing earns the most every month, far exceeding the income brought by the dynasties and emperors under his command.
