Chapter 1203: Sacrifice

Su Fan stayed at the Taiping Cult's headquarters for three months before leaving. Apart from pointing out some basic scientific principles to Ma Yuanyi and the others, he didn't care about anything else.

Su Fan never gave guidance on the promotion of artillery and firearms. If he had given a hint, perhaps he could have saved Zhang Niujiao, Ma Yuanyi, and the others a lot of detours.

But Su Fan did not. Science is a step-by-step process. Although Su Fan could pull up the seedlings to help them grow, if he gave hints, he could even quickly raise the Taiping Cult's scientific technology to the level of later generations.

But in that case, the Taiping Cult's technology would be unstable, and it would take more effort to improve in the future.

Su Fan is naturally not such a short-sighted person.

In fact, the Taiping Cult's technological development has already been very rapid, leaping directly from the twelfth century to around the eighteenth century, and some have even reached the level of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.

The Taiping Cult needs to settle down.

Although cultivators researching science can advance by leaps and bounds, in the future Jiuzhou, there will be fewer and fewer cultivators. In this way, only with a solid foundation can they develop faster.

Su Fan is very clear about this point, so he finally gave Zhang Jiao a word of advice, letting more mortals participate in the research of science.

Only in this way, in the future, when Zhang Jiao and these cultivators leave, can the mortals of the Jiuzhou truly embark on the path of technology.

Zhang Jiao and these people have established a new world, and they will eventually have to leave. Otherwise, once the Jiuzhou enter the Age of Dharma Decline, their staying in this world will not only affect the Jiuzhou, but also have no benefit for themselves.

Cultivators practicing the Dao are like sailing against the current; if they don't advance, they retreat. Cultivators need spiritual energy, and for Immortals like Zhang Jiao, the spiritual energy required is even more.

Once there is no spiritual energy in heaven and earth, the Immortal Dao magic power in his body will become less and less, and finally there will even be a danger of cultivation regression.

So it is impossible for Zhang Jiao and the others to stay in the Jiuzhou forever, unless the sealing array of the Jiuzhou is unlocked.

However, not to mention whether the Heavenly Court is willing, in fact, sealing the Jiuzhou is also an attempt by Fire Cloud Cave.

They want to see what the human race in the Age of Dharma Decline will become, and in the Age of Dharma Decline, what about the Myriad Races?

If in the Age of Dharma Decline, the human race can truly become the hegemon of the Myriad Races, then they don't mind having an Age of Dharma Decline.

As for them, at worst, they can just leave the Primordial World, which doesn't matter.

As long as the human race truly unifies the Primordial World, even if it means sacrificing a portion of human cultivators, they will not hesitate.

However, this situation naturally cannot be decided all at once; they always have to see first, and the Jiuzhou is an experimental field.

Although this is unfair to the Jiuzhou, if they want the human race to truly become the peak hegemon and be immortal, then some sacrifices are necessary.

Back then, when the human race faced the Witch and Demon tribes, how many predecessors were sacrificed? Even that Martial Ancestor of the human race, who had the bearing of a Saint, didn't he sacrifice himself for the human race?

With the strength of the Martial Ancestor of the human race at that time, he was indeed no match for the two Demon Emperors of the Demon tribe, but it was not so easy for the two Demon Emperors to kill the Martial Ancestor.

If the Martial Ancestor was determined to escape, the two Demon Emperors would have no way to deal with him.

But for the sake of the human race, the Martial Ancestor finally sacrificed himself to preserve the lives of a portion of the human race.

It must be said that those human beings who were preserved, I am afraid that their value, when added together, cannot compare to the Martial Ancestor.

After all, if the Martial Ancestor had not died, he would definitely be a Half-Saint now, if not absolutely a Saint.

After all, the Martial Ancestor created the Martial Dao, and even the Dao Ancestor was alarmed, and personally evaluated that the Martial Ancestor had the bearing of a Saint and the bearing of a Primordial.

This is also why the Martial Dao has always been popular, spreading not only among the human race, but even among the Myriad Races, where there are many living beings still practicing the Martial Dao.

After all, the Martial Dao was created by the Martial Ancestor, and the Martial Ancestor has the bearing of a Saint; doesn't that mean the Martial Dao is the Saint Dao?

The Martial Dao is powerful, and to this day it is even more terrifying. During the Great War between Humans and Gods, the two Quasi-Saint Martial Dao powerhouses who were born—that battle was not inferior to veteran Quasi-Saints.

And everyone knows that the human race definitely has more than those two Quasi-Saints; the power of the Martial Dao makes countless living beings shocked.

After the Great War between Humans and Gods, countless living beings once again surged with a craze for practicing the Martial Dao.

And as the founder of the Martial Dao, the value of the Martial Ancestor is even above the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors in the human race. However, the Martial Ancestor could sacrifice himself, so others naturally would not be unable to.

Su Fan also knows the plan of Fire Cloud Cave, which is why he dared to play chess in the Jiuzhou and personally came down to give guidance to Zhang Jiao.

And his plan was also approved by Fire Cloud Cave.

The Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors actually also wanted to see how powerful this Dao of Science is for the improvement of the human race.

Fuxi and the others had long known that Su Fan was an anomaly, and an anomaly from the outside world. For such anomalies, in fact, there is more than one case like Su Fan in the Primordial World.

The Martial Ancestor of the past was an anomaly from outside the heavens, but the Heavenly Dao never took action against him, and the Martial Dao brought by the Martial Ancestor was beneficial to the Heavenly Dao.

It is of great benefit to the evolution of the origin of the Heavenly Dao.

So the Martial Ancestor also rose during the Witch-Demon period. Unfortunately, the human race at that time was too weak to provide much help to the Martial Ancestor.

Facing the threat of the Witch and Demon tribes, the Martial Ancestor had no helpers at all. As for the Three Elders of the human race at that time, although their strength was not bad, that was just it.

If the Martial Ancestor had traveled to the era of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, then the Martial Ancestor would probably have burst forth with even more brilliant light.

Of course, no one can be sure whether the Martial Ancestor could really be as brilliant in the era of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors as he was in the Witch-Demon period.

The Witch-Demon period was dangerous, but danger is also an opportunity. It was precisely those repeated dangers that made the Martial Ancestor even stronger. The Martial Dao itself grows in slaughter.

Because of the slaughter with the Witch and Demon tribes and even the Myriad Races, it was these countless slaughters that allowed the Martial Ancestor to step onto the path of the supreme step by step.

Unfortunately, the human race had no strong people; otherwise, perhaps the Martial Ancestor could have stepped onto the path of the supreme.

When Su Fan learned about that Martial Ancestor, he often wondered if that anomaly Martial Ancestor was a fellow countryman like him.

However, the possibility is not high. After all, that Martial Ancestor, in fact, apart from bringing out the Martial Dao, did not have anything else.

If he were a fellow countryman, wouldn't he try later technologies?

Just like him, coming here, he brought a lot of knowledge and technology, which allowed Great Qin to enter its peak in advance, and even Great Qin's luck became stronger because of him.

Of course, Great Qin's later counterattack on the Heavenly Court might also have a certain relationship with his arrival. Of course, this might only have a little relationship; after all, Great Qin's counterattack on the Heavenly Court was unavoidable. ===== CHAPTER 1204 =====
