Chapter 853: Ten Years! (5)

That was why Zhao Guofeng had always suppressed this thought in his heart. He rarely mentioned Su Yun’s matters. However, now that Zhang Keqi mentioned Su Yun, Zhao Guofeng’s chatterbox opened.

“As you know, he’s a Dao Ancestor. His mental realm is definitely above ours. I believe him. He has always known that the responsibility he bears has never failed him. Great Xia needed time to develop, and so did he.

“To be able to bring everyone the first batch of pioneers in the cultivation world was already his outstanding contribution to Great Xia. After this batch of pioneers in the cultivation world, the number of cultivators in Great Xia did not increase at all.

“Although all the pioneers, including the military district, kept trying to lead new people into the Dao, none of them succeeded. This also made the higher-ups realize that perhaps only Su Yun, who was a Dao Ancestor, could carry out sermons and impart techniques!

“Therefore, only Su Yun could establish the future of Great Xia’s cultivation. Su Yun had already created an era, but the development of this era still required time, just like the Nantianmen Plan that we were currently implementing. The rise of the Luan Platform did not mean that the Nantianmen plan was completed. On the contrary, this was only the beginning.

“We still have many problems to deal with, including many technical difficulties that have to be overcome. I think Su Yun’s current state is the same. Give him some time. He’s young, but he had already taken on such a heavy responsibility. If it were anyone else, they would probably not be able to withstand it.

“But to be honest, I’ve always had a premonition. When Su Yun comes out of seclusion again, this world will probably change because of him.”

Zhao Guofeng did not hide his expectations for Su Yun at all. This made the two people beside him think and nod. In fact, Zhang Keqi and the others were not the only ones who were curious about Su Yun. In recent years, netizens have also had many doubts.

So far, the most popular platform on the Internet was a forum called the Cultivation Bar. This forum was specially established by the netizens for Su Yun. The discussions here were all about Su Yun or cultivation.

After entering this forum, one could see that the activity level of this forum was very shocking. In fact, for this forum, the company behind it had to specially open a few high-speed channels to prevent this forum from collapsing because too many people had entered at some peak times.

In this forum, the topic of discussion among netizens in recent years has always been about Su Yun’s seclusion. After a few years, there was no news of Su Yun. It also made the netizens more and more restless.

“It should be almost four years since the last time the Dao Ancestor announced that he was in seclusion, right? Until now, there’s still no news of the Dao Ancestor. Aren’t you worried?”

“What’s the use of worrying? I even went to Shengu Village to visit Divine Doctor Lü. The village was too lively now, especially outside Divine Doctor Lü’s door. There was a long queue almost every day. Actually, everyone is more or less inquiring about the Dao Ancestor, but Divine Doctor Lü never mentioned it.”

“Isn’t the Dao Ancestor’s seclusion this time a little too long? Could it be that he can really enter seclusion for eight to ten years like in those Xianxia novels?”

“Stop making wild guesses. I heard that the Dao Ancestor has actually already come out of seclusion. It’s just that he is in no mood to ask about the matters of the world and has faded into the mortal world.”

“OP, are you going to interfere in this matter? The person above is spreading rumors!”

As far as the eye could see, the entire Tieba was in chaos. There were all kinds of guesses about Su Yun, but no one had an accurate answer.

“These people are really bored.”

Big Head Yang flipped through the comments on the forum speechlessly before angrily closing his phone. Obviously, Big Head Yang and Lin Xiao were both on this forum. However, they had been diving and had never expressed any opinions.

As Su Yun went into seclusion for a longer period of time, the netizens became more and more uneasy. This caused all kinds of speculations about Su Yun to spread.

Lin Xiao sat on the rock opposite Big Head Yang with a can of Coke in his hand. The two of them had clearly just finished training. At this moment, they were sweating profusely.

Lin Xiao looked in the direction of Mount Shengu in the distance worriedly. “Speaking of which, it’s really been almost four years. When Uncle Su was in seclusion four years ago, the Nantianmen Plan and the Moon Battlefield had yet to appear.

“Now, the second exploration of the lunar battlefield was about to begin, the Nantianmen Plan had already completed its initial construction. Everything is developing too quickly, but Uncle Su seems to have been forgotten by time.”

The moon battlefield that Lin Xiao mentioned was actually what most Chinese netizens called it. Although the official name was always Civilization Ruins No. 1, anyone could tell that various countries were using the gimmick of Civilization Ruins to start a war on the lunar battlefield.

In any case, according to the rules, their grievances could not be brought back to Earth, so there was no need to consider the consequences. What big and small countries? On the moon battlefield, if they couldn’t do it openly, they would do it covertly. If they couldn’t do it covertly, they would do it dirtily.

In short, no country’s representative team could return safely with resources after going to the moon. After all, even though Civilization Ruin 1 was huge, the resources were limited. How could the other representatives tolerate any country’s gains being greater than theirs?

Therefore, everyone was used to calling Civilization Ruin 1 a battlefield. From this, it could be seen that the development of civilization ruins was very dangerous.

Previously, there were hidden weapons defense systems in the ruins that were still active. Later, they were covetous from other countries. Not only was this a battlefield, but it was also a hundred times more dangerous than ordinary battlefields.

Big Head Yang could not sit still anymore. He quickly stood up and looked at Lin Xiao eagerly. “Why don’t we go up and take a look? Try calling Su Yun. I’m worried that something will happen to him.”

The reason why he thought so was because Big Head Yang was very concerned about Su Yun.

Su Yun had been in seclusion for four years. Big Head Yang was a little worried about Su Yun’s current state. Fortunately, Lin Xiao was still relatively rational. After thinking for a moment, he looked up at Big Head Yang and shook his head.

“Please don’t. It’s not that you don’t know what Uncle Su means to China. His matter is not a small matter. The only thing we can do now is to wait. Before that, we can’t rashly disturb him, be it us or anyone else.”

Big Head Yang was stunned for a moment before sighing deeply, “Alright, I hope you’re right, but it’s been a month since we went up the mountain. It’s time to go up the mountain and help Su Yun clean up the surroundings. Otherwise, I’m afraid that he will have already grown with the weeds when he comes out of seclusion.”

As he spoke, Big Head Yang casually picked up the tool at the side. Lin Xiao did not reject this. For so many years, they would go up the mountain almost every month. Over time, they got used to it.

At that moment, Su Yun did not know that he had been sitting there for four years. With the passage of time, Su Yun was already at the threshold of 30 years old. Four years had left some traces of time on Su Yun’s face.

From the fourth year of university onwards, before graduation, Su Yun began live streaming. He wanted to earn a living, but he did not expect to accidentally comprehend the throwing cards consummate skill. From then on, he embarked on the path of cultivation. Ten years had passed!

In the past ten years, there have been too many ups and downs. From the old era to the genetic era, and then to the current technology explosion, humans had already begun to march into space.

Now, the world is entering 2049.
