Across Deep Space: Four Men and a Play

In the days following the Tianzhu episode that night, life returned to its usual routine.

When she passed by the hall again, she saw Li Shen sitting on the throne reading a book and walked over.

"prophet."

"what's up."

"I want to go out for a while." Xia Jiumeng pointed at her clothes and said, "I have worn these clothes for many days."

"Besides, the food I brought is only enough for one day."

God knows there is nothing to eat in such a big palace, except ice and snow. Li Shen is a prophet, not an ordinary person. He can live without food, but she can't.

Although she took a shower every day, she couldn't bear to wear the same clothes for so many days.

Besides, she needed to go out and gather some 'strength'.

During this period, the frost power in her heart became stronger and stronger, and it was not enough to rely solely on her own mental power conversion.

Li Shen listened to her words and raised his eyes from the book in his hand. "Okay."

Xia Jiumeng was stunned for a moment. She thought Li Shen would refuse, but he agreed just like that?

Perhaps Li Shen realized that his promise was too simple, so he added, "Don't even think about running away, or you won't be able to bear the consequences."

"You probably don't want to experience what it's like to be wanted by the Prophet."

As the only spokesperson for "God" on the entire planet of Philos, even if he doesn't use his power and just releases a message, there are still many people who will rush to complete it in exchange for a chance to listen to the prophet's oracle.

He glanced at the sky and said, "We must be at the bottom of the mountain before dark."

Xia Jiumeng: "Okay, I'll go back to my room and clean up."

She asked why this person suddenly became so easy to talk to.

Li Shen put down the book and stood up and walked to her side. "I'll take you there. At your speed, you won't reach the bottom of the mountain before dark."

"..."

Thank you for being so kind.

When she returned to her room, she simply took the shoulder bag with her. There was nothing else to pack.

Li Shen looked at her somewhat worn-out shoulder bag and hesitated for a moment before handing her a half-transparent card with a snowflake pattern on it. He said, "You can buy a new shoulder bag."

Xia Jiumeng looked at the card and then at Li Shen. This guy gave her money?

Also, are you saying this to dislike the quality of her bag?

I looked at the shoulder bag on my body, okay, it was a bit not so good.

You're welcome, subordinate card. "Okay, thank you for your generosity, Lord Prophet."

She felt at ease taking Li Shen's money.

At the castle gate, Li Shen drew a few runes with his fingers, and Xia Jiumeng's figure was instantly surrounded by frost and snow and disappeared on the spot.

"who are you."

Li Shen's expression showed a rare trace of confusion.

Everything became out of control after this man appeared in the tower and woke him up from his silence.

It’s not that no one has attempted to seize the Creation Core before, but without exception, he executed them all after he woke up from his silence.

She was the only exception.

He woke up as early as the first time she touched the scepter and knew that she wanted to steal the core, but he hesitated for the first time, even though he would not hesitate to use his power to kill people without waking up in the past.

He gave her chances again and again, but she was even unable to do it.

He approached her uncontrollably again and again.

He wanted to get closer to her, wanted to see more of her.

So he happened to show up again and again and strike up a conversation again and again.

His emotions would also fluctuate violently because of her proximity and gaze, and no matter how well he concealed it, he could not deceive himself.

This girl stirred his silent heart.

And the jasmine flower also changed because of her arrival.

That was a situation that had never happened before, but he had a strange feeling in his heart that he had finally waited for it.

Perhaps it won't be long before he knows what those untraceable memories are.

......

On the other side, the moment the feeling of weightlessness disappeared, Xia Jiumeng saw himself appear at the bottom of the mountain. Turning around, he saw a small black dot on the top of the snow-capped mountain.

She knew it was the Tower of Thorns.

"This distance is really far."

The place where Li Shen teleported her was at the foot of the mountain. After walking a little further down, she saw a town.

Perhaps because of the existence of the Thorn Tower, the name of this town is very down-to-earth, Thorn Town.

There aren't many local people here, after all, it's close to the snow-capped mountains and it's quite cold, but there are quite a few outsiders.

Most of them are people who want to go up the mountain. As for the purpose of going up the mountain, it is obvious that they want to go to the Tower of Thorns.

Although the Eternal Prophet does not predict the future for others and only occasionally conveys God's will to a few kingdoms, there are always lucky people who can get some guidance from the Prophet.

So there is a constant stream of people coming to try their luck, just in case they get lucky.

The town doesn't look developed, but its technology is much more advanced than that of the New Earth. For example, after entering the town, the cold outside disappears instantly and the temperature is also very suitable.

I raised my head slightly and looked at the almost transparent film in the air. It was a protective shield that could regulate the temperature.

If you want to get information or news in a place, a bar is the best choice.

But it was a bit early now, so Xia Jiumeng found a small bookstore and sat for a while.

During the waiting time, I also got a general understanding of Philos' basic situation.

Today's Philos is a new era that has begun after the Great Chaos, and many of the current kingdoms are split from the four major kingdoms before the chaos.

The Kingdom of Mosta, where she lives, is one of the top five major countries.

The world is still full of wandering bodies, but the good thing is that at least people in safe areas will not be attacked by wandering bodies, and the Knights of Zongheng, composed of the strongest men from the top ten kingdoms, will constantly travel around the world to deal with high-risk wandering bodies.

It can maintain a rather strange balance between wandering bodies and humans.

As for the Starfall Forest where people were sacrificed, it still exists, but the secret that no one knew before the chaos is now known to everyone. The queen of the First Kingdom who disappeared before the chaos once gave a solution, which is also what Philos has been using now.

That is mutual dependence with the planet's core.

Every ten years, the people living in Philos, except for serious criminals or death row prisoners, will select 100,000 people to extract part of their heart energy and gather it into a crystal, which will then be sent into the core lake of the Starfall Forest by the Zongheng team.

That crystal can provide the planet with energy to operate for ten years.

Those who display power will not die or mutate. The only side effect is that they will be weak for a few years. However, the kingdom will issue special subsidies during this period, so no one resists this.

This has led to the fact that the laws in Philos are now very strict, especially those regarding environmental protection.

Except for the nobles of the top five great kingdoms who have certain "authorities", anyone who violates the law will be severely criticized.

But people are born with a bit of rebelliousness, and under severe circumstances, there are still many people who like to seek death.

Every time Philos holds a selection, many prisoners are sent to the forest to replace those who are selected and need to contribute their strength.

Philos is now in a happy mood. Except for the occasional fights with wandering bodies, everything is acceptable.

And now there are almost no mutants.

Of course, unless you are looking for death.

Most of the wandering bodies nowadays are formed by some undetectable elements in space and on planets. They also have the ability to pollute, but they are far less than mutants.

Those who were sent into the forest as "nutrients" would be killed by the Zongheng team the moment they mutated and their cores would be recycled for use in the next ten years.

Xia Jiumeng closed the Philos Notes and sighed, "I really hope Shen Xinghui can see a planet like Philos."

His responsibilities, expectations and regrets were all perfectly fulfilled here.

A 'normal' planet.

She inexplicably felt familiar with the disappeared queen mentioned in the book.

Just when she wanted to continue thinking, the voice of the restaurant waiter rang out.

"Hello, ma'am."

"Uh, hello." Xia Jiumeng looked at her in confusion.

The waiter smiled a little embarrassedly and said, "Ma'am, our business hours are almost up."

As he spoke, he pointed to a sign hanging on the wall not far away.

It says 'Opening hours 8-17 o'clock.'
