Chapter 1110: Yuan Power and Heavenly Gods

He Lingchuan was speechless.

"Do you know now why the people of Yuheng City resent you?"

He Lingchuan said in a low voice: "I used them as a bet."

"Yes, you wanted to fight a beautiful battle. But which bet would like the gambler who put them on the table?" Zhong Shengguang said earnestly, "At any time, do not ignore the people's hearts, do not underestimate the people's will; this is an important source of strong cohesion and combat power, and it is also closely related to the strong Yuan Power of Panlongcheng. Once it is scattered, it is not easy to gather. You must cherish it and protect it."

Yuan Power.

He Lingchuan seriously responded with a 'yes'.

Zhong Shengguang then slowed his tone, walked over, and patted his shoulder: "Young people are full of blood, occasional mistakes are inevitable. Learning from mistakes is not necessarily a bad thing."

He Lingchuan also let out a breath.

Why did such a loophole occur? He knew his own family affairs, it had nothing to do with young people or full blood; it was that he ignored the "people" of Yuheng City.

Ask himself, did he really treat the residents of Yuheng City as living people? Yuheng City indeed appeared and disappeared in real history, and the people and things there turned into dust.

But this was not the reason for him to use the lives of the whole city as chess pieces in the Panlong world to tease and provoke his opponents.

He didn't respect "people", didn't respect their feelings, didn't experience their real emotions and difficulties.

If he was used to doing this, what about in reality?

Could he treat the civilians in his territory and the subjects of his country as chess pieces in the future? While maintaining high-level arrogance, while holding the grievance of "you don't understand, I did it all for your good", how can he truly worry about the people's livelihood, think about what the people think, and become the heart of the people? The higher he stands, the better the scenery, but the smaller the people he sees.

Standing on the top of the mountain and looking down, people become small black dots.

The higher the angle of looking down, people become numbers, no longer vivid lives, no longer individuals with joys, sorrows, and partings.

If he looked at people with this mentality, then what is the difference between him and the Heavenly Gods, the Immortals, and the Beijia Monster Emperor? He made a mistake in the Panlong world, and there was still Zhong Shengguang to help him cover it up and deal with it smoothly.

What about in reality?

In reality, some big mistakes are irreversible once made, because he is the one who has to be responsible to the end! Even after thinking for half a year, He Lingchuan still felt his back chilly.

From now on, he must take it as a warning.

He pondered alone for a moment and asked Zhong Shengguang: "The Great Wind Army is far more ferocious than other armies, is it because of Yuan Power?"

With his status and status in Panlongcheng today, he was qualified to ask this question.

The Great Wind Army was disciplined, firm in will, well-equipped, and every soldier was a one-in-a-hundred iron-blooded warrior. Other armies He Lingchuan had seen were difficult to look at their backs.

Even in the Chiyan Nation and Lingxu City, he had seen elite soldiers, and fought against the Ya Nation's Wulu; why did he always feel they were a notch lower compared to the Great Wind Army? Zhong Shengguang also knew that He Lingchuan's question was not just a surface question. He was actually asking, why was the Great Wind Army's Yuan Power so prominent and strong? "In your opinion, where does Yuan Power come from?"

He Lingchuan thought for a while: "National destiny, people's will, military heart?"

This was also a topic he had pondered for a long time.

Yuan Power was the biggest variable in this world after the great catastrophe of heaven and earth.

In ancient times, there were no nations under the rule of the Immortal Sect, only tribes and city-states.

After the gods and immortals fought, the medieval era opened, and Yuan Power appeared as a brand-new force between heaven and earth, and nations also emerged, from then on able to gather the power of a nation, a city, and a state to fight against immortals and monsters.

But why Yuan Power arose and why it flourished, the world had never given a standard answer—nor could it.

It needed intelligent creatures to explore on their own.

For thousands of years, countless sages tried to figure out the laws. The three points He Lingchuan said were exactly the sources of Yuan Power recognized today, and he himself had no better supplement for the time being.

Zhong Shengguang smiled:

"People's will can be manipulated, people's hearts can be deceived, so can Yuan Power be cheated?"

He Lingchuan coughed lightly: "Pre-war mobilization can indeed boost morale."

"But it's just a temporary ability." But the Great Wind Army's Yuan Power was long-lasting and exceptionally stable.

"In the medieval era, Yuan Power first showed its power; not only immortals and monsters wanted to figure out the cause, but even the Heavenly Demons from outside the realm wanted to explore it, but they couldn't cross the boundary themselves." Zhong Shengguang said, "General Hong learned from Lady Mitian that Heavenly Demons once believed that Yuan Power came from the belief of human hearts. They also longed to control this power, so they deliberately built temples and developed believers in the human world."

He Lingchuan suddenly realized: "So that's it."

No wonder there were so many temples in the human world, especially that pile of gods in Beijia; as long as they could be counted, they all had their own magnificent temples.

"Even if they built temples, they couldn't get Yuan Power." As a later person, He Lingchuan naturally knew that the Heavenly Demons' experiment failed this time.

"Yes, Yuan Power is not equal to the power of partial belief, otherwise the more evil and paranoid sects would possess stronger Yuan Power. This is clearly not the truth of this world; the Heavenly Demons soon understood that Yuan Power must be bound to the country."

"They tried countless times, hoping to control Yuan Power across the boundary. Finally, they succeeded."

He Lingchuan understood: "Beijia?"

"Not just Beijia." Zhong Shengguang said meaningfully, "Beijia is just the most powerful and successful one among their works."

"General Hong told me that, as observed by Lady Mitian and the gods, Yuan Power has been evolving for more than two thousand years, and its rules are not immutable." So we want to summarize something, it's even harder. The objects being studied were also evolving on their own; the laws figured out before might not be useful in later generations. "And the reason why Yuan Power evolved is very likely because—"

He Lingchuan connected: "Because the Great Fang Hu itself is also evolving?"

He knew secrets deeper than all living beings.

"Not bad!" Zhong Shengguang gave him a look of 'a child can be taught', "The Great Fang Hu changes, Yuan Power may change with it. So you ask me why Yuan Power arose, heh, the gods have no conclusion."

Yuan Power is something that can be seen but not touched. Even the state preceptors who deploy them cannot truly understand their characteristics.

Which nation doesn't want powerful Yuan Power?

Often things go against wishes.

Zhong Shengguang could only say: "As for why the Great Wind Army's Yuan Power is so fierce, perhaps it is because what we do is in accordance with the Dao?"

In accordance with the Dao? He Lingchuan also thought, what kind of Dao does this secretly match?

Zhong Shengguang changed the topic: "I summoned you back today specifically because there is a secret mission to entrust to you."

He Lingchuan gathered his thoughts, his spirit lifted: "Yes!"

Zhong Shengguang waved his hands to both sides.

Others immediately retreated, leaving this space for Zhong Shengguang and He Lingchuan.

What surprised He Lingchuan was that Zhong Shengguang even took out the "Dharma Eye" to scan the surroundings, which was that huge eyeball that could look around everywhere.

After confirming that there was indeed no tracking or eavesdropping magic or supernatural power here, he continued: "This mission is related to General Hong."

He Lingchuan hadn't seen General Hong for at least half a year. There was no sign of her on the northwest front of Panlong Wasteland.

But she often disappeared from the public eye, so everyone didn't find it strange.

"Where did she go?"

"Seclusion." Zhong Shengguang picked up the clerk's record and said casually, "Her cultivation is about to grow again, and it's at a critical moment recently."

He said it plainly, but He Lingchuan always felt that this sentence was a bit strange.

What does "again" mean? Why did he feel that Zhong Shengguang didn't seem... happy?

The more powerful General Hong is, the more beneficial it should be for Panlongcheng.

Zhong Shengguang sighed again, put down the information, and suddenly asked him: "How is your cultivation progress recently?"

"Very fast." This commander rarely paid attention to his subordinates' cultivation, and He Lingchuan was also stunned by his question, "Heaven and earth spiritual energy is growing, not just me, the practitioners in the army are all advancing by leaps and bounds."

Zhong Shengguang laughed: "In these two years, many new talents have emerged in Panlongcheng, with the potential to be generals and commanders. You recognize quite a few of them."

"Yes." Panlong Army and Great Wind Army have had rising stars recently, totaling seven or eight young generals, several of whom were He Lingchuan's former comrades-in-arms.

It is said that thousands of troops are easy to get, but one general is hard to find; fortunately, "earth spirits" and "human heroes" usually interact with each other, and Panlongcheng's military system is also easy to promote talents.

The rushing spiritual energy injected vitality into this world, ordinary creatures shared the dew, and practitioners and monsters naturally benefited the most.

"In this year, seven Imperial Flowing Nectars have fallen, large and small. According to some old monsters, the concentration of heaven and earth spiritual energy has reached its peak in nearly two hundred years." Zhong Shengguang said, "If this momentum can be maintained, Panlong Wasteland will soon become a land of fish and rice, and Panlongcheng will have no worries. We and Lady Mitian are even collecting and reorganizing new supernatural powers to adapt to a world with more abundant spiritual energy."

He Lingchuan was overjoyed.

Ancient and medieval supernatural powers were powerful, but they had long since disappeared. It was not because the immortal sects and Taoist schools were stingy and caused the loss of magic scrolls, but because the spiritual energy was gradually declining, and these supernatural powers could not be used or the cost was too high.

It's like the Small Mountain-Moving Array, which was just a wave of the hand for immortals in ancient times, but for practitioners today, they have to sacrifice their lifespan to use it.

Now, even if supernatural powers and spells are learned from ancient times, they have been greatly improved, with low power and low consumption.

When the heaven and earth spiritual energy is abundant again, reaching the level of the medieval era, more powerful spells will definitely make a comeback.
