As the memories concluded, Zhang Tian placed the brain-computer interface helmet on the table.
He slowly rose to his feet.
"Let's pause the memories here. If there's nothing else, we'll take our leave. Comrade Xi, shall we step outside for a chat?"
Zhang Tian looked at the person seated on a nearby chair.
Director Xi nodded slowly. Seeing Director Xi stand up, the people around them naturally didn't dare to delay him.
Zhang Tian strode from before the tribunal table and slowly descended the platform.
Wu Tianzhen, Hu Bayi, and others followed closely, as if afraid Zhang Tian would get too far ahead.
As Zhang Tian passed Chen Xi, she opened her mouth as if to speak, but ultimately held back.
Watching the receding figures of Zhang Tian and his group, Chen Xi knew in her heart that this was perhaps the closest she would ever be to Zhang Tian.
Zhang Tian and Director Xi walked side-by-side.
Soon, after exiting the courtroom, Zhang Tian stretched lazily.
After all, after so many days of trial, Zhang Tian's body had become a bit stiff.
"Boss, it's just as you predicted. After disaster comes rebirth. This time, Blue Star suffered heavy damage, but it forcefully ushered in a new era."
Fatty said excitedly.
Zhang Tian also felt the spiritual energy in the air rising linearly.
With the development of human technology, Blue Star's air quality had gradually deteriorated.
And spiritual energy had naturally ceased to exist.
What was worth mentioning now was that after that explosion, Blue Star seemed to have pressed a restart button.
Spiritual energy had once again revived.
"Comrade Zhang, what you're saying is a bit difficult for me to comprehend."
Director Xi looked at Zhang Tian.
His tone was calm.
There was also a hint of confusion in his eyes.
"You can understand it as Blue Star's climate has improved, making it more suitable for human habitation, and plant growth will also accelerate."
"Human lifespans can be longer."
Zhang Tian stated the benefits casually.
Hearing this, Director Xi's eyes showed some excitement.
From this perspective, it seemed like a good thing.
"Then that means Blue Star is more suitable for survival."
He said.
If Blue Star were suitable for human survival, who would choose to migrate to Mars or other planets?
However, with technological development, migration would certainly be indispensable.
Zhang Tian nodded.
That was indeed the case.
"Everything has its pros and cons. This matter must also have its drawbacks, right?"
He was very intelligent and thought very far ahead.
Zhang Tian nodded slightly.
"Yes, with the resurgence of spiritual energy, things that were previously unseen will gradually appear."
"Evil spirits, demonic creatures, and so on. This is why I founded a sect. This way, there will be people to resist the attacks of those beings."
Zhang Tian said slowly.
He wasn't hiding anything.
"Can't technology handle it? Can technology deal with those things?"
He asked.
Zhang Tian shook his head.
"If they are merely malevolent, then perhaps. But as they grow stronger, it becomes a bit difficult."
"As for ghosts and monsters, they are currently difficult to eliminate physically. Thermal weapons are ineffective."
Zhang Tian explained.
Director Xi also understood Zhang Tian's meaning.
"I understand. We will do our best to cooperate with you. However, there is one thing I'd like to discuss with you."
He said.
His tone was as gentle as possible.
After all, he was asking Zhang Tian for a favor, not the other way around, so there was no need to put on airs.
"As long as it's something I can do, I will try my best to help."
Zhang Tian said softly.
"You also said that spiritual energy is reviving. Currently, all the people of Xia Kingdom are still mortal. I also know that your cultivation methods are hard-won, but is there something that can improve the physical fitness of all our citizens?"
"This way, everyone will have the means to protect themselves."
He said.
It was evident he was dedicated to the welfare of his people.
Zhang Tian exchanged glances with Hu Bayi and the others.
"Such cultivation methods do exist. However, I won't give them out for free. Furthermore, you must strictly control the moral character of the practitioners."
"If they fall into the wrong hands, it will be difficult to manage. I will also be researching technology targeting practitioners as soon as possible."
Seeing Zhang Tian relent, a smile immediately appeared on Director Xi's face.
As long as Zhang Tian agreed, things would be much easier.
He would try his best to meet any conditions, as this was crucial for future development.
Of course, Zhang Tian wouldn't give away any truly profound cultivation techniques. If he did, everyone in the world would be cultivating, leading to chaos.
The cultivation method Zhang Tian provided was only for strengthening bones and muscles, granting some strength, but not an excessive amount.
It was the lowest-level body cultivation technique.
"Comrade Zhang, what are your requirements?"
He asked.
"The requirement is very simple: announce that this cultivation method was given by me."
Zhang Tian stated.
"It's that simple?"
A hint of confusion appeared on his face.
He had expected Zhang Tian to demand many things, but he hadn't anticipated that Zhang Tian would only ask for the donor's name to be announced.
Even if Zhang Tian hadn't said it, he would have done so anyway.
"No problem, Comrade Zhang. We will definitely do as you say."
He said seriously.
Zhang Tian gave a slight nod and handed over a small notebook.
This was a low-level cultivation method.
While it was considered trash in Zhang Tian's eyes, it was clearly a treasure to them.
"Thank you for your contribution, Comrade Zhang."
He said and then fell silent.
"Then, if there's nothing else, may I take my leave?"
Zhang Tian asked hesitantly.
"We will contact you if anything comes up in the future."
After he finished speaking, Zhang Tian nodded, and his figure had already floated into the air.
"Then I'll be leaving. Please take care as well."
Zhang Tian said, and then he and Hu Bayi and the others vanished into the sky.
Director Xi watched this scene, secretly swallowing.
Although he had been mentally prepared, witnessing someone fly away with his own eyes still left him somewhat stunned.
"Report, unidentified flying object! No, our radar seems to have detected a small bird!"
"Report, there was strong adverse wind just now!"
Around them, some individuals in camouflage gear were speaking into their walkie-talkies.
In an instant, the entire area became lively.
A military officer looked up at the sky.
"That's not a bird. That's a person."
He murmured, his eyes showing a spark of wonder.
He had personally witnessed Zhang Tian and the others disappear just now.
He was now beginning to doubt his past life.
"Report."
"Please instruct."
At this moment, a rough voice came from beside Director Xi.
Director Xi looked at the middle-aged man before him.
"Disband."
"Yes."
With the roaring sound of propellers, the vehicles that had completely surrounded the courthouse began to disperse.
In less than ten minutes, the entire area had opened up.
Meanwhile, Professor Li and others watched the concluded scene, exchanging glances.
"It's over."
Professor Li murmured, his eyes filled with disbelief.
"Yes, it's over. We should be heading back too."
Another professor said.
"Should we perhaps try to find Zhang Tian? After all, our archaeology institute owes him an apology."
An elder expert asked.
Professor Li pondered for a moment, and finally nodded.
At this time, Chen Xi slowly walked out of the building not far away.
Her heart was filled with complex emotions.
(Family, a new book will be released next month. This one is also nearing its conclusion.)
