Jiang Shu finally woke up from the joy of cultivation, and looked at the star map of the current war situation, his face darkened a little.

Once, thirty years ago to be exact, the Tianshui Empire and the Minghui Empire were on equal footing, and everyone competed for the Tongue Roll Star Officer, with each side accounting for half of the total.

At this time, the territory of the Minghui Empire was 900 light years, and the territory of the Tianshui Empire was more than 800 light years. But because the territory of the Tianshui Empire is located in the range of Sanyuan, there are more stars.

At that time, the imperial capital of the Tianshui Empire was 480 light years away from the front line.

Now, the Minghui Empire has all occupied the Tongue Star Officer, not to mention, and has even pushed the battle line closer to the Heavenly Ship Star Officer. The Heavenly Ship Star Officer is less than 150 light years away from the Daling Star Officer, where the Tianshui Empire is located!

What does this mean? It means that the southern part of the Tianshui Empire has almost lost more than 300 light-years of territory, and the empire's territory has shrunk by at least 40%!

But the war has reached this level, and it is no longer a question of territory, but ...... The Tianshui Empire has run out of ammunition and food.

As the war continued, the military personnel and warships of both sides were greatly consumed.

But gradually, the industrial capacity of the Minghui Empire exploded, and the situation began to be different.

In the past, a battleship needed at least a thousand shipwrights and more than a dozen elites to control it, but now the battleships of the Blue Star Group only need dozens of shipwrights and more than a dozen elites. When necessary, three or five people are not impossible. Advances in smart technology have made everything possible.

In addition, there is the explosion of industrial production capacity, so that the Blue Star Group does not care about the loss of warships at all. Battleship charges are often controlled with automated systems, creating opportunities for battles in the rear.

Especially recently, some 'skeleton' ships have appeared. These ships have a simple control compartment and a power system such as a nuclear island, followed by one or more railguns. Three or five people can control such a battleship.

What's more, there are 'intelligent life' on the side of the Blue Star Group - it is no secret that the war has been fought until now. How powerful is intelligent life? People can run away along the wireless network, and they ask if you are afraid.

Even some intelligent beings feel that they can't come back, and they can back up in advance. Once the entity dies, the backup is automatically activated, either by other sapient beings, or artificially.

Backed by the Blue Star Group, which has grown into a behemoth, and its industrial production capacity, the Minghui Empire is getting stronger and stronger, and the warship technology is constantly being updated. Assistive technologies are emerging.

What Skynet reconnaissance technology, ultra-long-range astronomical observation technology, cold nuclear fusion, fortress-level rail cannon, new particle cannon, seventh-generation ultra-fast warp engine, mecha, ultra-fast communication, interstellar high-speed channel, etc., only the Tianshui Empire can't think of it, and there is nothing that the other party can't provide.

On the contrary, the warships of the Tianshui Empire have been accumulated little by little over the years. The more the war fought, the more aggrieved it became. The losses on the front line were too great, the supplies in the rear were already insufficient, the number of battleships was getting fewer and fewer, the number of troops was getting smaller and smaller, and the soldiers were in a mood of timidity. Even those who have secretly surrendered,

War is a contest of comprehensive national strength. And the Blue Star Group, which has completed industrialization, has explosive war potential. Not to mention that the Tianshui Empire Alliance has fallen apart, and the Blue Star Group is gathering greater war forces.

What Jiang Shu is seeing now is such a star map and such a situation. Needless to say, Jiang Shu hesitated for a long time, but still found Mo Qiuyu.

Jiang Shu did not 'invite' Mo Qiuyu to directly participate in the war, but asked Mo Qiuyu to leave as soon as possible and go to the Minghui Empire to 'hold accountable'.

However, this little bit of caution couldn't hide Mo Qiuyu at all, she thought for a while and said, "Your qualifications are very good, and you have completely activated the meaning bloodline of the saint in your body. It is said that after so many years, you should have entered the peak of the Great Luo Golden Immortal, and maybe even the Great Perfection. ”

Jiang Shu sighed slightly and did not speak.

Mo Qiuyu shook his head slightly: "You got the wrong direction, we are cultivators, not emperors." Are you willing to be an immortal cultivator, or are you willing to be an emperor with a limited lifespan?"

Jiang Shu was surprised: "If you don't become a quasi-saint, who dares to say that you won't die?"

Mo Qiuyu hesitated for a moment before saying, "There has always been a legend in the cultivation world that says that the lifespan of a quasi-saint is one million years, but the actual situation is that the quasi-saint seems to be immortal and immortal. Don't you have any doubts?"

Lifespan is an eternal topic for practitioners, and even not only practitioners, but even ordinary people are concerned about it. There may be people who are not afraid of death, but no one wants to die if they can live.

It is generally believed that the lifespan of ordinary people is only a few decades - people over 70 years are rare, which is a true portrayal of ordinary people.

In the world of cultivation, those who are generally at the third level or below in the Qi Refining Period are counted as ordinary people, and in some places, the standard is even raised to the sixth or ninth level in the Qi Refining Period. When counting the population, it is not even counted.

It should also be said here that in the traditional world of practice, there are only a few people who can become practitioners. There are only a handful of Dayang Group and Tianyuanxing Civilization that popularize education. Most of them are 'casual fate' - practice, it's about fate!

Moreover, in the traditional practice environment, because of the exercises, resources and other issues, there are only a few people who can continue to break through. If you want to support the cultivation of the whole people, you need unimaginable resources. In the natural state, the resources on one planet are not enough to support too many cultivators.

After refining qi, there is the foundation building period, which is the first step in cultivation.

The foundation building period can break the shackles of life for the first time. Basically, as long as you don't die during the foundation building period, there is no problem with the 100-year life expectancy. If you practice a little and pay attention to maintenance, there are many foundation building periods around the age of 160, and it is not impossible to be over 200 years old.

This is followed by the Jindan period, which is generally considered to have a lifespan of at least 200 years. However, after the Jindan period, the calculation of life expectancy is more complicated.

During the whole process of cultivation, the limit of life expectancy is doubled. However, the life limit does not represent the actual life expectancy.

It is said that the 'actual life expectancy' is 'ten times' the 'life expectancy of the previous residual life', but there is also a limit, and the limit of the Jindan period is 500 years. Because 500 years old is the standard of the Yuan Infant realm.

Of course, cultivation is not card data, and there is also a golden pill period that lives to be 600 years old, but it is too little to be used as a reference.

It is generally believed that the life limit remains doubled. Some special realms, especially some 'qualitative' realms, will be more improved.

10 times the remaining life of the previous layer, and the limit of the theoretical life of the current level, the life is calculated first.

Zhuji 100, Jindan 200, Yuanying 500, Huashen 1000, Faxiang 2,000, Cave Void 5,000, True 10,000, Pure Yang 20,000, Returning the Void Realm starts in 40,000 years, and each breakthrough layer increases the lifespan by about 5,000.

is also at the limit of the virtual realm, some say 90,000 and some say 100,000, but it's about the same. The life span of Jin Xian is 200,000, and Da Luo Jin Xian is 500,000. To quasi-saints, in principle, it is millions of years.

This is the theory.

However, the reality is that before the return to the true realm, the general lifespan is more than the 'theoretical value', and after the true realm, it is generally less than the theoretical value. Especially after the Golden Immortal, the lifespan often shrinks greatly.

Some people believe that the higher you go, the more you touch the limits of the laws of heaven and earth.

But in any case, the life span of the quasi-saint is one million years, and everyone still agrees with this speculation. But the reality is ...... The quasi-saint is almost immortal and immortal!

Tens of millions of years after the Holy Emperor, except for a few quasi-saints who died in battle, the rest were all alive, and the longer they lived, the more powerful they became. In the entire Zhou Tian Great World, there is no such thing as quasi-saint aging, heaven and man, and the five decays.

Everyone is not without suspicions, but after a long time...... That's it, everyone has turned a blind eye. Quasi-saint, don't think about it, wash and sleep.

Although Jiang Shu is now in the late stage of the Great Luo Golden Immortal, he also belongs to a member of all living beings. Therefore, the claim of a quasi-saint's million-year lifespan is scoffed.

It's just that now Mo Qiuyu asked, but he was stuck.

Mo Qiuyu waited for a while, and finally spoke softly: "In fact, the million-year lifespan is talking about the Great Perfection of Da Luo Jin Immortal." ”

"Ah......" Jiang Shu didn't react for a while, but the next moment he was surprised, "Great Perfection...... Quasi-Saint ...... Wait, could it be said that the Great Perfection of the Great Luo Golden Immortal is equivalent to a quasi-saint? But ...... But ......"

"But the Great Perfection of Da Luo Jin Immortal is not a quasi-saint after all. Right?"

Jiang Shu nodded.

Mo Qiuyu sighed leisurely, "Actually, this involves some secrets. If you want to explain it clearly, you have to start from the era of the Holy Emperor.

In the era of the Holy Emperor, there was no so-called Great Luo Jinxian Great Perfection. After the peak of Da Luo Jin Immortal, he is a quasi-saint. At that time, the quasi-saint was a million years of life.

But then the situation changed, and the Holy Emperor arranged the Zhou Tian Great Array, transformed the entire starry sky, and let the quasi-saint supervise it.

The Zhou Tian Great Array can be regarded as a manifestation of the ability of the saint, or it is a kind of ability of the saint and the authority to control heaven and earth.

Later, the Holy Emperor disappeared, and the quasi-saints gradually took charge of the Great Array. But in the same way, in this process, the quasi-saints gradually controlled the Great Array, and then stole the authority of heaven and earth through the Great Array, and obtained the abilities that only some saints have.

This is what we call 'co-path'.

The authority they receive is mainly twofold. One part is longevity, which is the same longevity as heaven and earth. Part of it is authority, on behalf of the heavenly herdsmen. ”

"But everything comes at a price.

The quasi-saints have gained lifespan and power, which will inevitably affect the cultivation state of the entire great world. It is still unclear what the impact is, and the would-be saints are silent.

But one thing is certain, that is, there is an additional realm of Daluo Golden Immortal Great Perfection at the cultivation level.

In the past, after crossing the peak of the Great Luo Golden Immortal, he was able to comprehend the laws of heaven and earth and break through the quasi-saint. Now, after the peak of Da Luo Jinxian...... I don't feel any chance. The only change may be that the lifespan has reached the million-year level. ”

Jiang Shu was dumbfounded. After a while, he asked with some trembling: "Then how many of the Great Luo Golden Immortals are now in the Great Perfection?"

"Not a lot. Because of the relatively long life span and the accumulation of a lot, coupled with the fact that the cultivation has become more and more perfect over the years, it is initially estimated that there are no less than 1,000 people in the Great Perfection realm. It is said that there are many people who retreat and seal themselves. ”

Jiang Shu was silent for a while, and said leisurely: "Since this is the case, we should establish and protect the country. Can we make the country a small Zhou Tian galaxy?

Can you stay, we can create a paradise together. ”
