Chapter 290

Void!

Among a group of underachievers competing for the back rows!

The choices of the three Human Emperors seemed utterly out of place!

"We'll handle the first five difficulties!"

Fuxi waved his hand and made a decision!

Afterward, he looked at the powerful ones with a half-smile.

"We'll use our lives to consume the first five rounds; the extra two difficulties, I want to leave them for last—should be fine, right?"

He didn't explain why he chose the front!

But the others had already filled in the answer to that question in their minds!

This Human Emperor actually wanted to use such a precious opportunity to safeguard the fortune of humanity!

"How righteous!"

But, it's far too foolish!

Strength alone determines the right to speak! Once the Human Emperor loses the chance to contend for the world, others' odds of obtaining a higher ranking naturally increase!

Therefore!

Naturally, no one stepped forward to contend with him for such a "wonderful opportunity"! After the seven calamities of humanity had their positions set, the remaining forces continued to vie for the calamity positions! Each unwilling, they all wanted to lag behind! The final result could only devolve into a brawl! However, this time they didn't need to clash within chaos to spar!

As long as we control the intensity of our clashes, Heavenly Dao will not again exert suppressive force!

Seeing these people's performance, Fuxi and the other two exchanged glances and felt deeply relieved!

If it weren't for Shi Xuejin and Sun Wukong pointing things out, they'd probably have remained among them!

……

Eighty years flew by! Sun Wukong brought Shi Xuejin to each world, where they stayed nearly eight years! Without any interference or concealment, he only let Shi Xuejin personally witness all the changes occurring in those worlds! Some minor worlds directly ascended to the Medium Thousand World!

The world's hierarchy leapt forward!

All beings within reaped great benefits!

Within each world, different cultivation methods were displayed, also broadening Shi Xuejin's horizons!

Ye Yang found these commonplace, but Shi Xuejin indeed lacked such understanding! This touched him!

The Way of all beings arises from beings themselves!

Unbeknownst to him, his cultivation along the Dao steadily increased!

In the later stages, Shi Xuejin consciously suppressed his realm! Time was limited, and there was no leeway for him to spend time here on cultivation breakthroughs! Thirteen Medium Thousand Worlds! Most of them followed nearly the same template!

Become the Primordial Wasteland!

The strong remain strong; the weak can only scavenge resources from leftovers to strengthen themselves!

Unless one possesses truly supreme talent! Without cultivating one's own techniques or possessing treasures, they can only subsist on spiritual qi! Even starting with nothing—not even a broken bowl—they can still grow into peerless powerhouses! Otherwise, ordinary talent can only join various factions, toil as ox and horse, to scrape together a bit of resource to sustain their cultivation! In those worlds! They even exhibit extremes greater than the Primordial Wasteland!

After all, in the Primordial Wasteland, Ye Yang never unified the world's resources! Yet many of the other group members did exactly that——

Dong Fangbai, Xiongba, Chen Haonan, and so on were all like that! One family dominated! Yet unlike a nation, they did not fulfill the duty to protect the masses! People of the world took pride merely in being able to join their door! Even if most people entered, they only qualified to be ox and horse! But this did not prevent arrogance from appearing on their faces, setting them apart from the mundane folk outside—two worlds! When Shi Xuejin noticed this, his expression grew grave! Yet he also found it hard to say anything! This wasn't something Ye Yang ordered or assigned; it was simply the natural development and choice of this realm! Only because the chat group existed did some people gain tremendous aid, thereby accelerating this outcome!

In fact, even in Kyushu, isn't it the same? No contributions—what basis do others have to give you resources! Shi Xuejin, though he thus consoles himself, still feels something is missing! Soon he found the answer! Either way, it's just eternal separation of immortals and mortals!

Like in a mythic world! Zhao Gao has already accomplished this!

He had already found the anchor point, successfully reviving his sister!

Afterward, his understanding of the Tiger Talisman deepened, successfully severing the connection between ancient and modern realms completely!

The modern era belongs to mortals, the ancient becomes xianxia! Only through a special gateway can one reach another world! Immortals and mortals forever separated!

Only a single right remains for people to choose! In the modern mortal world, dictatorship, resource hoarding, and the strong growing stronger have become exceedingly rare!

Or rather, when oppression grows intense and people are driven to desperation, mortals gain the ability to overturn the table! As for ancient cultivators...

Zhao Gao once filtered the mortals among them; those willing to go to the un-cultivator world have all been sent to the modern era! With his current methods, he can casually shape a continent to settle these people! As for the rest, could it be their own choices?

Even if someone suffers deep oppression, bears heavy resentment, and regrets endlessly!

But that has nothing to do with Zhao Gao!

He's no nanny, merely indulging in a whimsical act after successfully reviving his sister! As for the rest, whoever makes the choice bears the consequences! Shi Xuejin originally thought this place was more than suitable for his world! Lu Zhou and the Ancestral Land were already divided into two worlds!

Going over it once more isn't difficult!

But soon he discovered two worlds with even more perfect handling——

Great Tang, Da Qin! Empress World!

Wu Zetian followed Qin Shi Huang's footsteps, blending technology and cultivation!

Both grasped firmly, neither letting go! For the empress, Ying Zheng was not stingy!

He imparted all the basic disciplines with strong applicability! However, understanding and learning still take time!

Thus, the Great Tang world is neither particularly high in technological advancement nor in cultivation level! Walking there, nearly ninety percent of the land is engaged in massive infrastructure projects!

From time to time, great belching smokestacks spew black smoke—those are the industrial-heavy towns!

Following normal development, such environmental degradation would make people suffer bitterly! But with cultivation, it's vastly different! A genius even invented a method to cultivate using various industrial waste gases! This approach is no inferior to poison cultivation or gu cultivation!

It can both purify the environment and strengthen oneself!

One can also receive resource rewards from the court! Triple win! "Talents truly abound!"

Shi Xuejin felt deeply moved.

"Why not throw two nuclear bombs at Little Japan's head?"

"Who knows, maybe a cultivation method relying on nuclear radiation could emerge!"

If one says the Great Tang is a picture of flourishing vigor, boldly scaling the peak! Then Da Qin already stands at the pinnacle of this mode!

After merging into the world and returning to the Primordial Wasteland!

The spiritual energy concentration of this stage rose again! Meanwhile, some researchers received special favor from the Heavenly Dao!

The power of the Great Dao permeates, mental agility increases ten thousandfold! Some previously existing technologies suddenly break through again! (End of chapter)
