Living in the Doomsday and Becoming an Immortal Alone-Chapter 1382 - 630: The Gentleman’s Pact (Part 2)

Third Base has Luoshan Hermit, secretly with Bai Gu assisting.

Unnoticed, Wang Jixuan's wings have flared, even to the level of a Daluo Golden Immortal.

...

After the party.

Wang Jixuan and Bai Gu strolled side by side on the terrace at the top of the spire.

The entire base layout was in full view.

Various busy mechanical factories were brightly lit, the spiral collider for producing antimatter occasionally flashed blue light, silent transport planes buzzed back and forth like diligent bees, Mu Dan's will was transmitted from the spire in all directions, stabilizing every mechanical body's program.

Wang Jixuan glanced at his predecessor 'Bai Gu'.

This predecessor's figure sometimes changed, largely a change in the shape of age, sometimes resembling a middle-aged face, sometimes an elder's visage.

But in any case, compared to just being a pile of white bones, it's much more pleasant.

"Predecessor," Wang Jixuan sighed quietly, "I feel like I'm being roasted over the flames... Am I really that material? I'm just a cultivator wanting to become immortal, and now I'm a candidate for Human King."

Bai Gu chuckled, "What's wrong with that?"

"It's very wrong, the responsibility is too big, it makes me feel uneasy."

"One can't be too selfish," Bai Gu spoke sincerely, "The greater one's ability, the heavier the responsibility one must bear."

"Ha, ha ha ha."

Master Wang put on a bitter smile:

"I know my own abilities, I'm suited to be a swordsman, just like Master Jian Jiu would be ideal.

"To be the Human King requires political prowess or something... I dislike politics, just like I didn't enjoy Lao Fu's scheming back then."

Bai Gu shook his head, "Silly child, this is a responsibility you can't escape. When you decided to fight the Heavenly Dao Worm to the end, when you learned of Mu Dan's potential and the possibilities she harbors, you found no retreat, unless Mu Dan gives up on you; at that point, the massive backlash from the Mechanical Civilization would swallow her."

"Hmm?" Wang Jixuan frowned, "What do you mean?"

"You still don't understand?"

Bai Gu chuckled:

"It's very miraculous. The stability of this Mechanical Civilization created by Mu Dan is because Mu Dan's Spiritual Body guides them.

"Each mechanical body can be seen as a collective of spirituality, they are complex, as long as you give them data, they can generate data.

"But every mechanical body is just an endpoint in this Mechanical Collective Intelligence Network, they act like worker bees in a swarm, everything revolves around the Queen conducting life activities.

"Don't be surprised by my way of speaking, I've taken some time to further study on Earth, visiting many different strong technological civilizations.

"Similarly, Mu Dan within this system has endured great and extreme pressure.

"Her reason for not collapsing against this pressure is twofold; her Spiritual Body's slow development now having Heavenly Immortal strength, and she has entrusted all of this onto you.

"Your relationship with Mu Dan, this trust, is the pillar supporting the operation of this Mechanical Civilization."

Wang Jixuan leaned back slightly, "Goodness, am I this important?"

"Luck is also part of ability."

"No, no, no," Wang Jixuan raised his head slightly, "Don't overlook my initiative, I've been scheming on Earth for six hundred thousand years."

"Only six hundred thousand years."

Bai Gu sneered:

"Never mind anything else, do you know how many years I spent for the Thousand Generation Alliance to grow and thrive in a corner of the Immortal Realm?

"Although doing so is interesting, it indeed left me feeling somewhat weary.

"My current obsession is avenging past friends."

He halted his steps, leaning on the railing, looking at the brand-new residence of Huang Jiuling—a bookstore near entertainment facilities.

Mu Dan's arrangement for Huang Jiuling to reside there seemed to carry deeper vision.

Does she intend for Huang Jiuling to appreciate the Mechanical Civilization growing from Earth Civilization through culture and entertainment?

Wang Jixuan chuckled inwardly.

Huang Jiuling is the Immortal Realm overlord; such childish entertainment is certainly unable to sway her Dao Heart in the slightest.

Wang Jixuan leaned against the railing with a touch of distraction toward the virtual sky.

"Any plans after defeating Polaro?" Bai Gu asked.

"Retire to the countryside, live freely like a cloud and a wild crane."

Wang Jixuan pouted:

"I might go to Wangxian Valley in the Immortal Realm if Feather God Palace hasn't been completely shattered by then.

"And after that, I don't know where to go.

"Master's death led me here, and I also want to eliminate these strong enemies, preventing them from harming more people, roughly like that... Will I die, predecessor?"

"There's that possibility, but it's not very likely."

Bai Gu laughed:

"Defeating Polaro without some sacrifice certainly isn't possible. On the battlefield, except for Mu Dan, the others around you aren't of much importance.

"They don't even qualify to be sacrifices."

Wang Jixuan nodded, not asking more.

"What about you, predecessor? The only Master of Time in history, the most special Daluo Golden Immortal."

"Me?"

Bai Gu slightly squinted his eyes:

"I have other plans; however, my consciousness is being assimilated by the Time Dao.

"Though I survived by borrowing the way of death to master the Time Dao, the deluge of information carried by the Time Dao also impacts my consciousness. Once I fully think in the way of the Dao, then my personal consciousness ceases to exist."

Wang Jixuan laughed, "Got it, predecessor's days are numbered."

"Then why are you laughing so happily!"

"Crying with a sullen face, saying, 'Predecessor, I can't bear to part with you~,' don't you find that disgusting?"
