Outside the window, the sunshine was warm, but Lin Tuo felt a little cold.

I finally roughly figured out the origin of the "Evolution Sandbox"...but there was no joy in my heart. Instead, my whole heart felt heavy.

Although there are still many unclear aspects of the entire incident, the general picture... seems to be clear.

Regarding the evolution of the earth itself, although it is amazing, it is so long after all that it is surprising and not very important.

The point is...

"Sooner or later they will come".

"call."

Lin Tuo let out a deep breath, feeling a little heavy in his heart.

Based on the context, it can be inferred that "they" refers to the pursuers from the "Empire".

The other party is determined to obtain the "evolution sandbox", and once this item falls into the hands of the empire, it will lead to "disaster"...

The specific information is unknown, and Lin Tuo has no idea what the so-called disaster refers to, but this does not affect his decision-making.

"So... it means that a powerful and unknown cosmic civilization may come to the earth at any time and snatch the sand table?"

Lin Tuo had a headache... Do you want to play so big?

He really wanted to know more about the sand table, but now he regrets it...

No matter what it refers to behind it, after all, it is not a good thing!

This time, when I turned around and looked at the galaxy... I felt that it was a hot potato.

what to do?

Waiting for death?

This is not his character.

Even though it's still uncertain when the so-called "hunters" will arrive.

Or, maybe I will never come here in this life.

But Lin Tuo didn't think it was a wise choice to pin his hopes on "the other party can't be found".

"I want to save myself." Lin Tuo took a deep breath. At this moment, his desire to become stronger had never been so strong.

As for waiting for the other party to come, the option of giving up the sandbox has never appeared at all.

Even if he wanted to...he couldn't find a way to untie it.

Furthermore, even if it can be surrendered, what will be the result?

Cook the fish on the chopping board? Let the other party do whatever you want?

Not just yourself, but also the entire planet?

How is that possible?

How to save yourself?

The record seems to point the way.

"You can only rely on the sand table. This is the only way to master it." Lin Tuo has never realized this so clearly.

"Through the sandbox, let the earth become stronger as soon as possible, so that even if a crisis does come one day, it will be able to protect itself."

"In addition, I also need to find ways to speed up my own evolution..."

Lin Tuo had a stern look on his face. Not long ago, he thought he could practice slowly, but now, when he learned about the hidden crisis, the loose string in his heart suddenly tightened.

He doesn't know how much time is left for him. It may be hundreds of years, thousands of years, or the next second.

"Anyway, we have to find a way to become stronger."

After whispering something in a low voice, Lin Tuo picked up the ballpoint pen and opened a new page in his notebook. After thinking for a while, he listed three points on the paper.

1: Personal improvement

2: Sand table upgrade

Three: Human Cultivation on Earth

These are the three directions he can think of to become stronger.

"The first point is that I can't do anything for the time being. I have just entered the Inhuman Realm and am not yet stable, at least for a short time. If I want to go further, I have to wait for a while."

"As for the sand table... it is by no means in its complete state at the moment. If it can enable an advanced civilization to hunt across galaxies, it must contain great value. But now, I may only be able to use a small part of it...

It can be judged from the dialogue that the sandbox itself is not harmful. The problem lies in the people who use it... Therefore, the problem is how to continue to upgrade...

Since it is sleeping because it has run out of energy, just give it energy.

Come to think of it, it's the ether... Now it seems that the 'loss' generated every time I collect the ether should be absorbed as energy for recovery."

"And the third point..."

Lin Tuo drew a circle with a pen and suddenly sighed softly.

It must be admitted that he had previously invested too little energy into the cultivation of human beings on earth. Without him, he originally thought that slow development would be enough.

Slowly cultivate a martial arts environment, wait until you are strong enough to be fearless, and then pass on the martial arts, which will fulfill your grandfather's last wish.

But now it seems... this plan must be changed.

Once a crisis comes, he must unite as many forces as possible. He alone... is too limited after all, and he needs to cultivate more strong people.

It doesn’t have to be a strong practitioner, it can also be technology research and development similar to Sandbox No. 2.

Personal evolution lies in life transformation.

The evolution of civilization is more complex and more powerful.

If the earth can be made stronger before the arrival of the "Empire", then this will also be equivalent to increasing his power.

In addition, the evolution of the sandbox cannot be stopped.

It is not only an important source of ether, but also can give birth to civilizations in a short time through derivation, which can also increase his ability to deal with crises.

It can also "feed back" the earth at the right time.

In fact, Lin Tuo turned his head and glanced at the galaxy, his eyes moved slightly:

"If I had enough time and ether, could I turn the entire solar system into a civilization gathering area?

Different planets form a strategic alliance to form a 'solar system fortress', in order to exert a power far beyond my own to defend against external enemies?"

Thoughts flashed, Lin Tuo closed his eyes suddenly, took a few deep breaths, and said with a wry smile:

"Thinking too far ahead... Now, I haven't even left the earth, so I'm just thinking about this..."

Those things are still too far away. Now, what he has to do is to stay down to earth.

"Well, it's time to understand the progress of the pilot project in Yangcheng during this period. It's best to find a way to push it forward..." Lin Tuo was thinking.

Suddenly, in the sand table showing the illusory galaxy, the earth suddenly swayed with a layer of faint ripples.

Lin Tuo was startled, and with a thought, the light and shadow changed, expanded, and in the blink of an eye, the area around Yangcheng in observation mode emerged from the sand table.

At this moment, at the edge of the sand table, a bright line of ether is rising over Wucheng City.

Someone calls me?

Lin Tuo was stunned for a moment, and based on his sense of aura, he judged that it should come from one of the two "outer disciples" he had accepted in reality.

That girl named Jiang Yishan.

"I haven't seen him for a few days, I almost forgot..." Lin Tuo felt ashamed for a while, and then he remembered that the "cake disaster" was solved last time they met. Jiang Yishan reported that the university had started and he needed to rush to Wucheng.

In the blink of an eye, more than a month has passed.

"What do you want to see me for this time?" Lin Tuo was confused, gathered his thoughts, closed his eyes and entered the "Illusion Space", began to build the "Taihe Immortal Gate", and immediately raised his hand to pull it in.

…

Wucheng University.

Because it is relatively far away from Yangcheng, the degree of nourishment by the ether is not that deep. Now, it has entered the end of November, and the entire campus is filled with the desolation of winter.

Graduate accommodation.

In a separate room, Jiang Yishan got up very early today. After washing, he locked the door with some anxiety, crossed his legs on the ground, entered a state of cultivation, and tried to outline the "Tao pattern" in his consciousness.

Because she hadn't tried it for a long time, her movements were a little unfamiliar and she felt particularly uneasy.

In total, it has been more than a month since I last met with Master Taihe.

During this time, the turmoil about global projection, the rejuvenation of Yangcheng, and the expansion of black boxes have all disappeared, but the promotion of cultivation in various parts of the country is in full swing.

Even though Yangcheng was not located in the pilot center, she had heard about it.

Even Wucheng, the wind of cultivation is gradually blowing.

But Taihe Zhenren never gave any further "instructions", which made her feel relieved but also a little disappointed.

I have clearly entered a mysterious organization, but suddenly there is no follow-up... I feel a strange feeling of depression.
To be continued...
