Chapter 368 Star Tower
After leaving the hill, Chen Chuan did not go back directly to Xuan Gong Building, but drove to Mo Tie Mountain. Cao Guiqi obviously knew about this a long time ago, and he might be able to learn more about this person.
thing.
Because he had made contact with Jie Ping on the way, when he arrived at Cao's manor, he saw Uncle Ding waiting outside from a distance.
This was a rare treatment before.
After parking the car, he walked up and followed Uncle Ding to the manor. After seeing Cao Guiqi, the first thing the latter said was: "Have the commissioner told you?"
Chen Chuan nodded and said, "Yes."
Cao Guiqi said: "Follow me." Then he turned and walked towards the back of the courtyard.
Chen Chuan followed him out of the courtyard and got on a retro carriage. Uncle Ding got to the pommel and drove the car himself, leading the two of them towards the mountain behind the manor.
Chen Chuan looked outside. He had noticed it when he came here before. There seemed to be a tower standing on the high point of Motie Mountain. It was just hidden among the dense trees and could not be seen clearly. But at this time, the carriage was obviously coming in.
As he got closer, he could see its general shape clearly.
This is an octagonal tower with an obvious religious style from the old times. Judging from its ancient appearance, it should not be a retro building, but it has already stood here in the old times.
The carriage came all the way to the foot of the tower. Chen Chuan and Cao Guiqi got out of the carriage and followed them into the tower. However, compared with the shabby appearance, the interior furnishings were completely opposite. It was completely in the decorative style of the new era, and not all of the previous ones.
It is an old structure, but has been reinforced and renovated.
The original wooden stairs were also demolished and now replaced with a sightseeing elevator.
Uncle Ding stepped forward and started the elevator for the two of them. After waiting for Chen Chuan and Cao Guiqi to enter, he pressed the button again, but he did not follow them in. He just stood at the door.
Cao Guiqi didn't speak all the way. The two took the elevator to the top of the tower. He walked out and came to the railing, placing his hand lightly on it.
Chen Chuan walked over and looked out. This is the highest point of the entire Motie Mountain. He could vaguely see manors and villas scattered everywhere, and he could also see the magnificent central city.
Cao Guiqi said at this time: "This is called the Star Tower. In the old days, it was an important place reserved for the imperial clan to confront and contact another 'world'."
Chen Chuan's heart moved slightly, "So is this the central city of the old era?"
Cao Guiqi said: "You can say that, but it is different. What Commissioner Liang told you is that the central city is the frontier against that world, the anchor point of the two worlds, and the closest place to that side?"
Chen Chuanchuan: "That's what he told me."
Cao Guiqi said: "These places were not like this at the beginning, but were scattered and densely scattered all over the world. If our world is compared to a piece of white paper, the place where the two worlds first come into contact is
Countless black dots scattered on the white paper.
In the old days, the understanding of periods of change in various countries around the world was still based on past records. Therefore, the emperors of various countries did not adopt a confrontational method, but built such star-calming towers directly in the gaps where changes were more severe, and tried to find ways to do so.
Get power from it and techniques worth studying.
Later, they gradually understood what had happened, and began to strictly seal the gaps, and tried to guide and condense these gaps, bring them together, and integrate them under the management and control of each empire.
It's just that at that time, various technical conditions had not caught up, and the transmission and monitoring of information were insufficient. Although they had made many remedial measures, there were still a large number of loopholes and gaps in the world. From these gaps,
A lot of things were left out of my mouth, but at the same time I gave a lot of people opportunities.”
Chen Chuanhuan: "I heard Commissioner Liang say that it was the advancement of technology that led to the collapse of various empires."
Cao Guiqi shook his head and said: "That's not entirely true. The real situation is actually more complicated, but what the old empire failed to accomplish has indeed been accomplished in the new era.
After the establishment of the Grand Alliance, most of the gaps and anchor points discovered in the world were eliminated, guided, and gathered together, and central cities were built on top of them, as well as world rings for defense and confrontation.
.
From this point of view, the Grand Alliance has made great contributions to the entire world.
And in the new era, fighters at least have a chance to get ahead. In the old era, everything was determined by origin and blood. The road to advancement was completely blocked. The empires could not shoulder the responsibilities they should have shouldered. Instead...
Being eliminated in the end is also the fate they deserve, and it is the world's choice.
It’s just that the big alliance collapsed after only existing for thirty years. Commissioner Liang told you that Central City is the frontier of confrontation. That’s not wrong. But governments and even companies have also gained a lot of benefits from it. If you regard these as
Resources, governments and companies of various countries have almost monopolized all resources.
Although this is necessary, when these gradually flow to the top and are firmly in the hands of governments and major companies, the situation will be different..."
Speaking of this, he sighed sadly, "Why didn't the emperors and their relatives in the past not want to do this? They wanted to get something beneficial to them from the opposite side, and they would sit where they sat for eternity, but now
What’s left?”
He patted the railing under him, "It's just these remaining ruins.
It's just that at their time, the contact between the two worlds was not as close as it is now, so the whole world could still withstand trial and error, but this time, it is absolutely impossible for us to endure another mistake.
But that is for us, and it may not have much impact on the world itself. Judging from the limited records, situations like the Big Bang may have happened in history, but that may have been submerged long before the rise of civilization.
In the past that is difficult for us to know..."
He turned his head and said solemnly: "Brother Chen, in this new era that is about to come, as far as you are concerned, you must try to seize this opportunity and take advantage of the situation, otherwise you will not be able to influence your own destiny."
Chen Chuan also nodded solemnly. He thought for a moment and then said: "Commissioner Liang told me that some of the third level cultivation resources can only be given if you make contributions and merits during the recruitment."
Cao Guiqi said seriously: "He is not wrong, because from the first to the third limit, it is already the limit that a human body can reach. As long as you are still a human being, no matter how you practice, you cannot break through this limit."
It’s layered.
But because of the integration of that world with ours, the material world we live in has changed, becoming less constrained, making the impossible possible.
Although that world brings dangers, it also brings opportunities.
Many important resources in various countries, including some technologies, were obtained from that world or the collision of two worlds, and these resources are completely in the hands of the government and major companies."
He looked at Chen Chuanchuan: "Student Chen, when you are weak, it is best to join them first, slowly get what you want from them, use these efforts to strengthen yourself, and do everything possible to reach the next level before the big collision.
Only then will you be qualified to negotiate terms with them."
Chen Chuan understood what he meant and knew that this path should be the most suitable path at the moment. However, there was a more realistic problem in front of him. This alone could not satisfy his cultivation needs.
So he thought for a while and asked: "Senior Cao, I would like to ask, besides joining the government or a company, are there any other options?"
Cao Guiqi did not answer immediately. After a while, he slowly said: "Beyond the central city, there are still some scattered gaps that have not been closed, and some will pop up from time to time due to the collision of worlds.
Many of these gaps are in the hands of some fringe forces and organizations, and they use them to recruit people and try to get some benefits from them. However, most of these gaps are very unstable, and it is difficult to say what will appear there. Without enough strength, it is uncertain when
It was destroyed overnight.
Moreover, governments and companies around the world are very careful about this, and once discovered, they will eliminate it in a timely manner. Other than that... there is no other way to go."
Chen Chuan thought deeply for a moment and thanked him sincerely: "Thank you, Senior Cao, for telling me this."
Cao Guiqi said: "It's nothing. You will gradually come into contact with these in the future. It's just a junior. If you have made a decision, be careful." He reminded again: "Those leaked things from the Ring of the World are not
It’s easy to deal with, and don’t believe the information those things send you easily.”
Chen Chuanchuan: "I will do it. Thank you, Senior Cao, for reminding me."
Cao Guiqi looked outside, his robes fluttering in the wind. He said: "The intersection of the world has profoundly affected us, affecting each of us. It has been like this from ancient times to the present. I don't know what the outcome will be."
No matter what, but if it can pass, perhaps there will be a brand new future waiting for us."
Chen Chuan stood here for a while, then said goodbye and left. After seeing off Chen Chuan, Uncle Ding returned to the tower, bowed and said, "Master, Mr. Chen is gone."
Cao Guiqi hummed, but he still stood there, looking at the bottom of Motie Mountain, wondering what he was thinking.
Uncle Ding hesitated for a moment, then raised his head and said, "Master, with Student Chen's current level, he should have learned about that matter. Master, you didn't tell him about it..."
Cao Guiqi turned his back to him and said: "Uncle Ding, I said that I helped him just because of our friendship. His character and temperament are worthy of support, but there is no need to bear what I have experienced."
Uncle Ding said: "But Master, it is also an opportunity for Brother Chen, isn't it? If Master is optimistic about his future, then it is better..."
Cao Guiqi flicked his sleeves and said, "Needless to say, I've already taken the wrong path once, and I can't take it again."
Uncle Ding lowered his head deeply, "Yes..."
