"No, have you even been listening to me? I said no!"
Xing Ling was also a little stunned.
"I heard you."
Chen Shu glanced at it indifferently and then said, "I said thank you."
"?"
Xing Ling's forehead was covered in black lines, feeling as if this guy's question and answer were just going through the motions, and its response didn't actually matter.
"Big brother, are you really going to push this hard?"
It spoke, "What if your generation fails? What happens after that? We can't rush things, can we?"
The rules of the ruins hoped for long-term existence, but this guy was always trying to catch all the fish at once.
"No, little Xing Ling, are you telling me how to do things?"
Chen Shu glanced at it and said, "Hurry up and move all the official resources over. If you dawdle any longer, don't blame me for kicking you out of the ruins."
"..."
Xing Ling's heart clenched, feeling a deep sense of melancholy.
Choosing this guy as the inheritor of the ruins was a huge mistake.
However, despite its melancholy, it still obediently carried out Chen Shu's orders, otherwise, it would truly be cast out onto the streets.
Chen Shu was surrounded by all sorts of resources, while he himself lowered his head, continuously studying the formations.
"This thing is a bit complicated..."
Chen Shu's eyes held thought as he fully immersed himself.
With the information left by the old man, he could proceed step-by-step with the carvings, so there wouldn't be any insurmountable problems. However, due to his lack of familiarity, he needed to spend some time.
Three months passed in the blink of an eye.
On Blue Star, the entire planet had been occupied by fierce beasts.
After the great war ended, they did not rest but worked day and night, like laborers, collecting resources from various異空間s and transporting them to the forbidden zone of Long Yuan.
Currently, the beast emperors were all suffering from foundational injuries, and recovering naturally required a large amount of heavenly treasures.
With no human obstruction and the forbidden mist beasts sealed, the world's resources all belonged to the fierce beasts of the new era.
While the fierce beasts were recuperating, humanity was no exception.
Within the Starry Sky Ruins,
Humanity's mindset had completely changed. Even though the old man was no longer there, they would still continue to fight until a true era of peace and prosperity was ushered in.
Today, the ruins had shed their usual tranquility.
People were singing and dancing, raising their cups in celebration. Even the beast tamers were not cultivating but spending time with their families.
Laughter and cheers echoed through the ruins, completely different from the previous calm atmosphere.
Because today was the 24th day of the first month in the Resurgence Calendar, also known as New Year's Eve!
Although they were no longer in their original cities, on such a special day, they still celebrated, which also served as a way to release stress.
The authorities did not forbid it; instead, they actively took the lead, organizing various New Year activities for the people.
"Done!"
Chen Shu, who was arranging the formation, clapped his hands and looked at the massive ancient formation before him, feeling a sense of accomplishment.
Although it had taken several months, it was worth it for him.
He casually threw a king-grade material, and a rune in a certain part of the formation lit up, instantly transforming it into spiritual energy.
"As expected of the Human Emperor Formation..."
Chen Shu stroked his chin. With such terrifying efficiency, it could consume even more resources.
"It's time to call people for secluded cultivation..."
Chen Shu's mind moved, and just as he was about to send a message to everyone, he noticed the joyous celebratory atmosphere within the ruins.
"Huh?"
He was slightly taken aback and a little confused.
The next second, Chen Shu teleported back to his home, still in the Anju residential area.
All the buildings here were made to resemble those on Blue Star as much as possible. Except for the brilliant star sea above and below, it was not much different from Blue Star.
"Mom, Dad, I'm back."
Chen Shu returned home and saw a large group of people gathered in the living room, chatting while munching on sunflower seeds.
"Hmm? You're back, kid?"
Zhang Dali's father, Zhang Feng, looked at Chen Shu and smiled, "If you hadn't come back soon, we would have gone looking for you."
"What's going on?"
Chen Shu was also a little confused and asked, "Is there any good news today?"
"You forgot about New Year's, kid?"
"New Year's?"
Chen Shu blinked and then remembered.
If it were according to the usual calendar, today was indeed the day to bid farewell to the old and welcome the new.
"It feels a bit unfamiliar..."
He shook his head, his eyes filled with emotion.
During the New Year last year, he remembered that humanity had the upper hand, furiously hunting down the great beast kings.
But as the beast emperors moved the forbidden mist, the world suddenly underwent a dramatic change!
The fierce beasts, which had been fighting independently, instantly united. In just one year, they had occupied Blue Star and defeated humanity.
"Everyone actually feels a bit unfamiliar..."
His father glanced at him and smiled, "But no matter how difficult life is, we still have to be optimistic."
"That's right."
Chen Shu smiled, his heart also infected by the joyous atmosphere, and a smile appeared on his face.
In the evening,
Everyone gathered together to enjoy the New Year's Eve dinner, not discussing the past, but rather envisioning the future.
Although their current situation was not ideal, everyone believed that returning to Blue Star was only a matter of time.
On this day, the Starry Sky Ruins spent it in a lively and peaceful atmosphere.
Besides this, the people in the other four ruins also celebrated the New Year with joy and festivity.
The next day,
People once again returned to their hurried ways. There was no New Year holiday; one day of relaxation was enough for them.
Chen Shu summoned the young beast tamers within the ruins, preparing to commence humanity's first large-scale secluded cultivation event.
As for the older generation, as soon as Chen Shu spoke, they refused.
After all, they had permanently lost their contracted spirits and had no possibility of further breakthroughs. Using more resources would be a waste.
Suddenly,
Over two hundred thousand young beast tamers gathered, from Black Iron to Gold, with people of all levels.
Although low-level beast tamers currently had little impact, they would definitely grow in the future, and they always needed to be given an opportunity.
At this moment, the people moved in a vast procession to the depths of the Starry Sky Ruins, the place Chen Shu had named the 'Starry Sky Cultivation Dojo'.
"Everyone!"
Chen Shu stood high in the sky, looking at the dense crowd of young people before him. Using the power of the ruins, his voice reached everyone's ears.
"From today onwards, we will begin our cultivation state. To tell you in advance, this period of cultivation will last for a very long time, perhaps a year, perhaps two years, or even longer..."
"If anyone cannot endure the tedious cultivation, they can choose to withdraw mid-way. However, I must mention that if you truly leave, you cannot re-enter!"
"Also, the most important point is that you cannot affect the cultivation of others. If I detect such behavior, I will reward you with a nuclear bomb!"
