Chapter 54: The Heavenly Emperor Travels the Eternal Life Great World
The path Zhang Jiao set was to start with rural development, then move to the county seats, then to the prefectural capitals, and finally ignite an uprising to overthrow the Han Dynasty.
It was easy enough in the countryside, where almost everyone was a farmer.
Within the countryside, the work of the Taiping Sect members had always gone smoothly.
But in the county seats, there already existed small, powerful landlords.
And in the Eastern Han era, these powerful landlords all kept their own private armed retainers.
Some of these powerful landlords sensed the danger of the Taiping Sect—a danger to them.
After all, what the Taiping Sect had been doing was striking at these landlords and redistributing their land.
Therefore, these powerful landlords naturally had to resist.
In the process of these battles, many Taiping Sect members were naturally sacrificed.
Zhang Jiao frowned deeply, sighed lightly, and said, "Register all those who have sacrificed themselves and issue pensions. At the same time, build a Heroic Monument; those who sacrificed themselves for us should enjoy incense offerings after death."
Zhang Jiao knew that to build that ideal nation, many people would inevitably sacrifice themselves along the way.
Including him, Zhang Jiao, who would one day also fall on such a path.
In this world, some things always need people to carry them out.
But—
Those who carry firewood for the masses must not be allowed to freeze to death in the wind and snow;
Those who blaze trails for freedom must not be allowed to be trapped in the thorns;
Those who establish a destiny for the living must not be allowed to perish in silence.
All Zhang Jiao could do was to make future generations remember the sacrifices of these people, and lead those who come after to continue walking forward bravely.
Zhang Bao was very moved when he heard Zhang Jiao's words.
In this era, those who could enjoy incense offerings were few.
There were deities, emperors, and princes and nobles.
But there had never been the nameless commoners, never these plebeians at the very bottom.
The members of the Taiping Sect and the Yellow Turban Army were composed of these plebeians, these bottom-dwellers, these common folk.
No, in a certain sense, the members of the Taiping Sect were not even plebeians.
Plebeians had to own their own land, while the Taiping Sect members had almost all lost their land.
Zhang Bao bowed and said, "Big Brother, this move will certainly boost the morale of our Taiping Sect members; our Yellow Turban Army will surely be even more fearless in battle."
Zhang Bao continued with admiration, "Big Brother, you truly are a heaven-sent talent with such marvelous ideas."
Zhang Bao now admired his big brother, Zhang Jiao, to the point of prostration.
Of course, Zhang Bao had always admired Zhang Jiao very much.
But recently, Zhang Bao discovered that his big brother seemed to have received guidance from an immortal.
One marvelous idea after another, like immortal techniques, enlightened the common people and caused the power of the Taiping Sect to undergo earth-shaking changes every day.
If it were said that before, the chance of the Taiping Sect uprising succeeding was only one in ten, or even less.
Then now, the chance of the Taiping Sect overthrowing the Han Empire increased every single day.
Zhang Bao believed that before long, relying on the growth speed of the Taiping Sect, overthrowing the Han Dynasty would be as easy as turning over one's hand.
Zhang Jiao, however, shook his head and said, "It is merely the fortune of heaven and the wisdom of those who came after."
If not for joining the Heavens Chat Group, if not for the help of the members in the group, how could Zhang Jiao have thought of these things?
Even if Zhang Jiao were as learned as a heavenly human and one of the smartest people of this era, he would ultimately find it difficult to transcend the limitations of the era.
Now, having joined the Heavens Chat Group, he had finally defied the heavens and changed his fate.
Zhang Bao asked in confusion, "Big Brother, what do you mean by that?"
Zhang Jiao did not say anything more; he signaled for Zhang Bao to hurry and get to work.
Within the Great Primordial World.
With a single thought from Qin Hao, infinite creation and destruction occurred.
The Causal River appeared before his eyes; he traversed countless Worlds, and with one glance, he locked onto a vast Great Thousand World.
In the Heavens and Myriad Worlds, there are three thousand Great Thousand Worlds, and within one Great Thousand World, there are three thousand Middle Thousand Worlds and tens of thousands of Small Thousand Worlds.
Even below the Small Thousand Worlds, there are countless Ganges Sand World levels.
Ganges Sand Worlds are the most numerous in the Heavens and Myriad Worlds, numbering in the billions upon billions.
And the World that Qin Hao locked onto was precisely a top-tier Great Thousand World—the Eternal Life Great World.
Within the Eternal Life Great World, there are three thousand Secular Worlds.
Among the three thousand Secular Worlds, there are ten powerful Worlds.
And above the Secular World, there are the Void Spirit World, the Buddha Realm, Longjie, and so on.
Some of these Worlds originally belonged to high-dimensional planes, while others were opened up by the Epoch Immortal Kings of this World.
The Transcendent Heavenly Monarchs and Epoch Immortal Kings of this World are extremely powerful.
They overlook countless epochs and reign invincible throughout countless epochs.
Of course, it is also because the rule barriers of this World contain some loopholes, and the World barriers are not solid enough.
Only then could these epoch-level powerhouses open up such powerful Worlds.
If they were placed in the Great Primordial World, they would likely be unable to achieve this.
In the Upper World, the most powerful is the Immortal World, where countless immortals gather.
But above the Immortal World, there is still the World Above Worlds.
This World Above Worlds was formed by the substances spewed out from the Gate of Eternal Life.
Countless Transcendent Heavenly Monarchs, Epoch Immortal Lords, and epoch-level powerhouses who have been invincible for dozens of epochs all reside in the World Above Worlds.
The goal was to one day glimpse the mysteries of the Gate of Eternal Life and break through to a higher realm.
The Eternal Life Great World possesses sufficient foundation.
Of course, what Qin Hao is most interested in are the Three Thousand Great Divine Abilities within the Eternal Life Great World.
The rules of this World are quite peculiar, evolving the Three Thousand Great Daos into three thousand types of divine ability techniques.
One must know that in most worlds, the Three Thousand Great Daos have always been things that can only be understood intuitively and cannot be put into words.
Yet in the Eternal Life Great World, they have become a kind of divine ability technique that can be cultivated and mastered.
Of course, this is not to say that the Eternal Life Great World is the most powerful world.
It is merely that the world rules are different.
For Qin Hao, this could not be better; he only needs to collect the Three Thousand Great Divine Abilities.
By utilizing the Three Thousand Great Divine Abilities, he can directly enter and master the Three Thousand Great Daos.
Then, with the help of the power of Qi Luck, he will deduce the Three Thousand Great Daos to perfection and perfectly master all of them.
At that time, Qin Hao believes his strength will absolutely break through to an unprecedented level.
Before Chaos had opened, Pangu Great Heavenly Venerable used Proving the Dao with Force to achieve supreme strength, slaying all three thousand Chaos Demon Gods.
Regarding Pangu Great Heavenly Venerable's Proving the Dao with Force, what exactly is this "force"?
Is it the Great Dao of Force?
Qin Hao feels it is not that simple.
Qin Hao believes that in Proving the Dao with Force, this "force" is the general outline of the Three Thousand Great Daos, the collective term for the Three Thousand Great Daos.
And the future path Qin Hao has planned for himself is to perfectly master the Three Thousand Great Daos, then use the Imperial Dao to govern the Three Thousand Great Daos, melt the Three Thousand Great Daos into one, and walk a path that has never existed before.
Therefore, Qin Hao must absolutely take a trip to the Eternal Life Great World.
Qin Hao took a step, concealing his own Qi Luck, and stepped onto the long river of Time and Space.
Then, with a single thought, he descended upon the Eternal Life Great World.
