Chapter 784: A True New Life
If you want to say whether the priestess is suffering or not, who knows best? Of course it was herself.
The priestess has the highest status in the Galaxy Alliance and is admired by the world. She does not need to do any blessings or other things. She only needs to attend some important occasions occasionally, and she can even choose a time for vacation at will, except that she cannot do those dangerous activities—such as participating in a stellar storm close-up tour group.
It sounds like the perfect life. But in fact, the priestess needs to learn a lot of knowledge of ancient civilizations, and then repeat the memory every day to ensure that she will not forget. Where is the time and spirit to enjoy life?
Now that genetic optimization is common, ordinary people in the Galaxy Alliance can live to be more than a hundred years old. The priestess Jing Jiu saw today may not be in her forties, and her vitality is already extremely weak. It is necessary to choose a successor. Isn't it because of the mental wear and tear that has to be endured all year round?
Zhong Lizi wants to be a priestess, can she bear the pressure? In the long years, many priestesses must have had accidents or chose to give up, and the knowledge of ancient civilizations in that line disappeared. Will she be the next one? Jing Jiu thought that the most important issue was that priestesses can fall in love and marry like normal people, but according to the rules, they can't leave blood offspring, but they didn't expect Zhong Lizi to think this way. It was a little surprising, but he didn't care too much.
Practitioners in Chaotian Continent would not even think about leaving bloodline descendants if they were not sure that they would not be able to ascend.
Even before the appearance of Daoist Taiping, practitioners did not have a strong desire to accept disciples.
Zhong Lizi went to rest, he looked at the starry sky again, and reorganized the conversation with the priestess today.
The other party knew that he came from another world, and it should be the instruction of the so-called gods, which is the saying left over from the ancient civilization.
It seems that whether it is the Galaxy Alliance or the Chaotian Continent, they should be left behind when the ancient civilization and the sea of dark things died together.
That's right, either one side throws out that side, or the other side throws out this side, or they are two completely different paths.
If this was the arrangement of someone in the ancient civilization, it's no wonder that the priestesses and the people of the Galaxy Alliance regarded it as a god.
Such a handwriting is indeed close to God.
Jing Jiu had a rare feeling of admiration for that man.
If you want to find out the reason of all this, it seems that you really need to go to the main star, to see the ancient civilization ruins that are strictly sealed off, and to meet the woman the priestess said. It’s just that Xue Ji hasn’t come yet, and the Ascender hiding in the Galaxy Alliance still doesn’t know who it is, and he hasn’t figured out the path of those torsion holes...
If he could only follow Zhong Lizi, it would be risky.
Thinking about these things, he got up and went to the bedroom, picked up the memory card Jiang Yuxia gave her, and finished reading it in a few minutes.
Then he rotated the sword element, silently recited the mantra of two hearts, and put his hand on Zhong Lizi's head.
...
...
Zhong Lizi had a dream.
In the dream, she saw God.
The face of the god can't be seen clearly, just like those murals in the fire transmission tower, it is right in front of your eyes, but when you turn around, you forget how to describe it.
But she knew it was God.
God asked her: "Would you like to follow me all your life and serve me... as a priestess?"
She hummed, then realized it was very disrespectful, and quickly said yes.
The god then told her that what the priests had to do was very hard and monotonous, and although they were revered by the world, they were lifeless.
God also told her that he had experienced that kind of lifelessness a lot, and it was really not fun.
Zhong Lizi felt that God's words were very friendly, so he boldly asked, if he felt unbearable after becoming a priest, could he resign?
In the long history of human revival, there were many priestesses who couldn't bear the responsibility, chose to give up, and even wanted to spread the knowledge of ancient civilization to the outside world, but they died when they had this idea. Zhong Lizi didn't know these things, and opened his eyes wide, looking at God with full expectation.
God didn't seem to have thought that she would make such a request, and after thinking about it, he said, "It's up to you."
After saying these words, the god left, and the whole space became very warm, emitting a red light.
Zhong Lizi felt very comfortable soaked in the red light, and the hot touch even made her have a somewhat weird association, as if she was bathing in magma.
After an unknown amount of time, she opened her eyes and woke up.
What happened in the dream seemed to be still in front of her eyes, but in fact, her eyes were the ceiling of the wine room suite.
After getting acquainted with Jing Jiu, her sleep quality has improved a lot. It was even better a few days ago, but not as good as today.
She felt that her body was full of vitality and an unknown power, and she even faintly felt that there were many things in her mind, but she didn't know what they were.
Clear water flowed out and hot mist came out. Standing in front of the bathroom mirror, she looked at her slightly flushed face and thought it looked really good.
Immediately afterwards, she discovered something, reached out to pull out the silver hair, and was a little surprised to find that the root of the hair had turned a lot blacker, and looked a little mottled.
The electric toothbrush made a buzzing sound. While brushing her teeth, she thought about the changes in her body. She felt so strange. After washing in a hurry, she drank two big sips of water from the water pipe and went to the terrace.
"I always feel that you have been doing something to me." She looked at Jing Jiu who was lying on the chair and said.
Of course she knew that Jing Jiu had a problem. A teenager who never goes to bed and only wants to stay in a chair on the terrace, a teenager who wants to lie on the lawn even when it rains, if it is not a rare pervert, then it is definitely not an ordinary person.
Jing Jiu looked at her face and said, "Toothpaste foam."
Zhong Lizi subconsciously reached out and wiped it, but found nothing. She knew that he wasn't teasing her, but that she didn't want to explain to herself, she flattened her mouth a little bored, turned around and said, "I'm going to the barber shop after school, you wait for me on the grass."
Jing Jiu didn't like it a little, and said, "Why do you have to cut your hair short?"
Zhong Lizi said happily: "New hair has grown, so I'm going to re-dye it."
Because of illness and the failure of genetic optimization, her hair has always been a little gray and mottled since she was a child, which is very unattractive. So after entering junior high school, she used the money she saved to dye herself silver hair, until now.
Hair dyeing is not a government benefit and needs to be paid for by herself. It has been her biggest expense these years.
Today her new hair came out again, but it was extremely healthy black. She confirmed that her illness might really be cured, and she was naturally in a good mood.
Jing Jiu said, "Change the color."
Zhong Lizi was a little surprised, and asked, "Then... what color do you like?"
Jing Jiu said, "Red."
Zhong Lizi suddenly remembered the red light and magma in the dream last night, and he had already agreed in his heart, but he didn't want to agree so simply, and wanted to make things difficult for him, so he turned his eyes slightly and asked, "There are many kinds of red."
The last time Jing Jiu went online was equivalent to three years for ordinary people, and he didn't know how much useful knowledge he read, so he replied casually, "Red velvet."
...
...
That guy doesn't care about anything, but he actually cares about the color of his hair. Could it be... Zhong Lizi was thinking about these things, looking out of the window, looking at the lawn in the drizzle, and at that eye-catching blue dot, he couldn't help but think about it.
This class is about ancient history, and it talks about the early days of the Galaxy Alliance.
The female professor spoke with a blank face, and the students listened with a blank face. The whole classroom was full of boredom and sleepiness.
The students of Stargate University are all excellent students, and their family conditions are excellent. Most of them received basic knowledge input when they were young. They can memorize these ancient histories back and forth. Naturally, they have no interest in listening to lectures, and the female professor has no interest in lecturing. But when she noticed that even Zhong Lizi, an exchange student from the underground district, was so absent-minded, she was still a little displeased.
"Pingye Prefecture, the last stronghold of the Nami Dynasty in Beiguyuan, has three heavy-duty laser cannons. How did the alliance military break through the defense?"
The female professor's eyes fell on the window, and she said expressionlessly, "Student Zhong Lizi, please answer."
The dull atmosphere in the classroom suddenly became active, and more than ten eyes fell on Zhong Lizi.
In the past, even if she could not answer this question, no one would care, but the situation has changed now.
Everyone knew that she signed up for the selection of priestesses, and had a lot of private discussions. They really wanted to know where the confidence of the exchange students in this underground neighborhood came from.
Those gazes were full of doubt, curiosity and some hostility.
Zhong Lizi was stunned before he woke up, thinking what's wrong?
Jiang Yuxia repeated the teacher's question softly beside her.
Zhong Lizi thought to himself, shouldn't this be the content of the military history department? Said: "Teacher, these details of the Battle of Beiguyuan are not written in the textbook."
The female professor remained expressionless, and said, "If you only need to memorize the textbooks, what are you doing at Stargate University? For example, your classmates, can they not come to class?"
Zhong Lizi was a little helpless, and was about to say sorry and sit down, when suddenly a bright light flashed in his mind, and a few lines of text appeared, and he subconsciously read: "Because of the load-bearing structure of the new M laser cannon base..."
