Chapter 140

~8 min read 1,592 words

First, sort out the general trend of Jiaoming's entire plot.

Jiaoming, as an ordinary small bird born with awakened spiritual intellect, is itself an 'anomaly' that does not exist in the prehistoric historical plot, just like Jinbing's opening position.

Without Jiaoming, the Three Ancestors would enlighten many second-generation species, which would each enlighten the myriad spirits in a barbaric state, and then rule a part of the prehistoric world through slavery.

When the three tribes' civilization just began and their power grew, the Three Ancestors, who had prior agreements, would instill in the slaves each family's 'Creation Myth' and 'Rule of Law'; while everyone was still ignorant, this formed an ideological model of extreme internal enslavement and extreme external exclusion.

After completing these preliminary constructions, in order to obtain enough true spirits of sentient beings to support their own path to the Dao, the Three Ancestors formally launched war, and the major historical event 'Tribe War' recorded in prehistory was about to break out!

In the early stage of the war, the lower-level slaves of the three sides kept brushing Kd, while the three old ancestors remained motionless.

Until Hongjun decided to stop this endless war, he then used the method of 'Severing the Three Corpses' to cut out the evil corpse Rahu.

Severing the Three Corpses

Luo Hu (or we may also have Evil Corpse Luo Hu)

Evil Corpse Luo Hu (if we decide to include both)

But Rahu was ultimately an overpowered monster, so the advantage gradually widened, eventually succeeding in slaying the Three Ancestors; after that, Hongjun swiftly moved in and, according to plan, slew Rahu.

Until the victory was secured, they stormed the Heaven-Reaching Treasure Hall and successfully cleared the level!

"Then let's try the second method! If the second method works, we can directly skip the Three Ancestors' plot, which is also a clever shortcut!"

"If we directly cling to Hongjun's thigh according to the plot, we probably cannot change the ending… or rather, the solution of this new chapter is completely different from Jinbing's."

"So, even if I could control Jiaoming from the start, at most I would just die a few fewer times than Jiaoming; anyway, I'm bound to step into many pits, after all, details determine success or failure."

In one lifetime, a certain branch line already gave the answer; Ancestor Phoenix exhaled a single breath of South Ming Li fire and burned him into a shackle…

East Wilderness (maybe redundant with East Wilderness Jade Capital Mountain but it's a region; we can include)

Jade Capital Mountain

Zhao Si couldn't help but think of the two teammates who, together with Hongjun, originally broke the Zhu Xian Formation in the original plot: 'Qiankun' and 'Yin-Yang'.

Mechanical God Descent

Great Luo Golden Immortal

【After spending several days, you restored your cultivation to the Mystic Immortal realm in place, then decisively embarked on the road to the Jade Capital Mountain of the Eastern Wasteland……】

Zhao Si, already accustomed to the various new settings of this version of the prehistoric world, was not overly surprised, only frowning in thought:

【The prehistoric world is vast; even if you fly at full speed with your Mystic Immortal cultivation, it still takes considerable time to go from the Southern Wasteland into the Eastern Wasteland territory, and by the time you reach Jade Capital Mountain, you have grown from a newly hatched chick into an adult red-feathered fire bird.】

【At some point in time, beneath Jade Capital Mountain, you transformed into human form and, using immortal arts, conveyed to the cultivating Hongjun in the mountains a message sufficient to gain his trust……】

For example, Hongjun, this lone-wolf player, is already the best of the best, but can his true form actually stand before the fully buffed Three Ancestors?

Yin and Yang

But saying this is easy, doing it is extremely hard; the Three Ancestors are a small group, starting out as three standard Great Luo Golden Immortals.

Assist Cultivation Cheat

In Jiaoming's plot, there is basically no deus ex machina to rely on, so under the condition of relying solely on oneself without external strategic assistance, the win rate is zero across the board.

Although Jinbing's three-round simulation also encountered many pitfalls, the difficulty of his plot mission mainly stems from incomplete information, thus emphasizing puzzle-solving.

"As for the second alternative solution, it should be to deal with the Three Ancestors in advance, not giving them a chance to awaken their spirits and slaughter each other."

Zhao Si fully exhibited the good mindset of daring to try and err; after a little thought, he began to devise a strategy for Jiaoming:

【Facing inner worries, you choose: (first go to Jade Capital Mountain to find Hongjun, gain his trust, then have him go out to find other innate divinities, persuade everyone to form an alliance, and together kill the Three Ancestors in advance!)】

This set of original plot, discovered by Jiaoming at the cost of his life multiple times, although still largely follows the conventional prehistoric plot, undoubtedly differs greatly in detail from what Zhao Si knows of the plot.

What? After bitter cultivation, charging alone through the three tribes?

Don't joke; if Jiao Ming could train alone faster than the Three Ancestors, the logic would collapse, because the Three Ancestors themselves are running a cheat—an "assist cultivation cheat"—with countless true spirit Pals doing free labor for them; it's impossible for Jiao Ming to match them.

There's no chance of winning; Hongjun's method is the optimal solution, and Jiao Ming couldn't possibly understand micro-control better than Hongjun!

So, Jiao Ming's clearance strategy can only be the two words "micro-control".

The key is that Jin Bing's diagram contains six mechanical descents; his own cultivation and strength are irrelevant—if he can bring those six mechanical descents onto the field to assist, the Heavenly Court, this ultimate boss, can have its highest-level Quasi-Sage combat power banned, drastically reducing the difficulty!

So even if Jin Bing is merely a minor true spirit flood dragon, he still has a chance to defeat the Heavenly Court thanks to the mechanical descents; what he must do next is continually use micro-control to increase his odds, gradually tipping the victory scale.

As for the Evil Corpse Rahu, it's obviously not something Hongjun had from the start; he figured out how to sever it only during the middle of the Tribal War, so it needn't be considered in the discussion.

Once Rahu dies, the imprisoned true spirits of all beings wander free between heaven and earth, and, with Hongjun's deliberate aid, they spontaneously refine the Primordial Heaven and Earth, becoming a Dao-attained being without self-will.

Not only Hongjun, but also a large group of various innate divinities—do you think these lone‑player gamers would dare to team up against the Tribal guild?

Besides Hongjun, who dares to step forth to uphold justice?!

So for Jiao Ming to obtain the right to play, he can only throw himself into the fray, actively snatching people from the Three Ancestors to build his own guild—weakening them while strengthening himself, which is one of the optimal solutions.

But the problem lies here: Zhao Si, that old cheat‑seller, now finds it hard to devise a suitable strategy cheat.

"No matter how you operate, to get Jiao Ming onto the Primordial gaming stage as a player, you can only open by seizing the initiative to awaken myriad spirits, snatching a piece from the cake the Three Ancestors have already pre‑divided!"

Moreover, because his growth rate has always exceeded that of the Three Ancestors, they cannot subdue him, forcing them to intensify the war to rapidly boost their cultivation, thus the Tribal War entered its mid‑stage.

After a prolonged abstract melee between Rahu and the Tribal slaves, the Three Ancestors each broke through to Quasi‑Sage, but Rahu also broke through, and his progress grew even faster than theirs!

This made the Three Ancestors increasingly sense impending danger from Rahu, so they finally personally engaged as Quasi‑Sages to slaughter each other, after which the Tribal War entered its final stage.

If we could pull them both to our side beforehand, and even recruit more innate divinities to lend strength, with everyone united, it wouldn't be impossible to take down the Three Ancestors early……

So Jin Bing's clearance strategy sums up to four characters:

Once all the key information is known, the whole chapter is like having a full‑map cheat activated; as long as you make good use of every known detail, you can basically use micro‑control to dominate the entire field.

Thereafter, Hongjun earned the Heavenly Dao's trust by slaying Rahu and achieving the feat of creating the Heavenly Dao; he then used the Heavenly Dao as an intermediary to indirectly refine the Primordial, proved the Dao and became a sage, ushering in a brand‑new Immortal Dao era……

Rahu stops killing with killing, advocating Chaotic evil and equality of all beings; since he uses secret techniques to imprison the true spirits that ought to return to the ancients for his own cultivation, his progress is extremely rapid.

Although Jiao Ming could pre‑emptively cultivate to a Great Luo Golden Immortal and also enlist Hongjun's aid, together they amount to only two Great Luo beings, still no match for the Three Ancestors.

【Upon thinking of the brilliant idea, you can't help but feel excited.】

【A flash of inspiration strikes you: 'Right! Why must we play by the rules with the Three Ancestors? Just gather a bunch of people ahead of time to kill them three—wouldn't that also work?'】

【Hongjun:?】
