There is a progress bar in my cultivation of immortality

Wang Ping practiced during these ten hours, and then observed the world of faith manifested by the Kingdom of God with Yu Lian. The countless consciousnesses of the Kingdom of God are indeed good things to stabilize human nature.

The spiritual faith it generates is like a trickle of water, forming a long stream of faith in the Kingdom of God. The devout prayers of the believers are interwoven into a network, building a pure and stable spiritual world.

Half an hour before the agreed time, Wang Ping used the communication token to connect to the projection space. Perhaps because the communication device was too far away, when he entered the projection space, except for the seven seats around him, other areas could no longer be reflected in his consciousness.

What surprised Wang Ping was that Tian Gong actually appeared in the projection space earlier than him. When he saw Wang Ping, he smiled and said, "I have some free time recently. Yuan Wu is preparing to go outside the domain. There is no one to play chess with, so I came here to take a look first."

His tone was a bit self-talking at the end, "I remember when we first built this place, we played chess with them while imagining the idea of ​​opening up the universe. At that time, each of us was full of confidence in the future."

“But even though we have achieved the status of a True Lord, we still cannot escape the erosion of time. It is like poison, infecting our consciousness and body all the time. We gradually forget our original ideas, and are left with only the embarrassment of lingering on.”

Wang Ping didn't know why this person suddenly said these words, but listening and keeping silent were definitely not wrong, so he bowed to Tiangong and sat quietly in his seat, trying not to make any sound. He could feel the deep fatigue in Tiangong's words, which was a tiredness that was difficult to conceal after going through thousands of years.

Tian Gong looked at the quiet Wang Ping and suddenly changed the subject: "This suppression of the rebels has indeed shown us the shortcomings of Zhongzhou Star Civilization. It is too fragile compared to the entire starry sky. It is necessary to develop ecological zones externally, but the reproduction of a civilization is very complicated. Perhaps even a saint cannot understand it. We must be more careful."

Wang Ping bowed and said, "We currently have the ability to correct errors, why not give it a try?"

Tian Gong smiled even more deeply, but there was a hint of helplessness in that smile: "What do you think is wrong, and what do you think is right? What you think is wrong may be someone else's right, and what you think is right may be someone else's wrong. This is the real problem."

When he finished speaking, his eyes suddenly became sharp, as if he wanted to see through Wang Ping's most secret thoughts.

Wang Ping avoided Tian Gong's gaze and pretended to be thinking.

He also understood this principle clearly. The ancestors had used countless experiences and lessons to tell the descendants that some things needed to be done arbitrarily, while some things could be discussed. And being arbitrarily determined required sufficient power. Among all the True Lords now, perhaps only Dragon Lord had such ability, but he was not interested in it.

Seeing Wang Ping remained silent, Tian Gong continued, "For example, I can fully support you in doing things now, and temporarily ignore some things that I don't like, but I don't know how long this will last. Do you understand what I mean?"

His tone was erratic, sometimes gentle as a spring breeze, sometimes cold as iron.

Wang Ping had no choice but to answer: "Of course I know these principles, but we can sit together and drink tea and chat, why can't we discuss things? We can try to seek common ground while reserving differences."

Tian Gong chuckled, stared at Wang Ping and said, "You have been practicing for thousands of years, don't you understand the complexity of human nature? It is much more difficult than practicing!"

After hearing this, Wang Ping stopped talking and just bowed silently.

He understood the deep meaning of Tiangong's words. This seemingly easy-going old man actually had the most stubborn persistence. Those concepts that had been polished by tens of thousands of years had already become part of his foundation. Any attempt to change them would be futile.

Human nature is the most complex, and every True Lord has his own rigid and unchangeable thoughts. These are thoughts that have been slowly formed over thousands or even tens of thousands of years of practice. It is impossible to change them because of someone's words. Even if the reality is right in front of them, it will not change, because human nature is also a part of their practice.

The projection space inevitably fell into silence.

Tian Gong said "Saint, please have mercy on me," then lowered his eyelids and said nothing more.

Wang Ping looked at Tian Gong's old face. In those cloudy eyes, he seemed to see a soul trapped by time.

After listening to Tian Gong's speech, Yu Lian rarely complained, but gave a neutral comment: "Ten thousand people have ten thousand ideas, just like the leaves on a tree, which look the same but are actually completely different. They don't think they are wrong."

She perched on Wang Ping's shoulder, her tail swaying gently, and her golden vertical pupils reflected the figure of Tiangong meditating.

"As for the complicated thoughts of believers, we can use magic that is incredible to them to solve them. As for a True Lord, perhaps only a saint or a force more powerful than them can solve their problems."

Yu Lian's voice sounded again in Wang Ping's spiritual sea.

Wang Ping remained silent about this, and then also lowered his eyelids and waited for the agreed time.

Time passed slowly, and True Lord Lieyang soon appeared. He was an active man, and soon started talking with Wang Ping and Tiangong about the war on the front line. His voice was loud and always with unquestionable confidence.

As they were chatting, Xuanqing and Bai Yan appeared one after another. Xuanqing's figure was like the breeze, while Bai Yan brought a chilling coldness.

"I have contacted Long Jun, and he will not come this time." Lieyang made the same opening remarks after everyone arrived. After that, he looked at Wang Pingyan and said, "Since this meeting was initiated by you, Changqing, you should speak first."

Wang Ping did not back down. He bowed to the other True Lords first, and after organizing his thoughts, he roughly expressed his idea of ​​developing the outer space ecological zone through the feudal system.

The other True Lords did not interrupt him while he was speaking, and they did not comment immediately after he finished speaking. This caused the projection space to fall into a brief silence, with only spiritual energy flowing silently.

After more than ten breaths of silence, You Lieyang broke the silence and said, "For the ecological zone in outer space to develop, we need to make sufficient preparations in advance, such as a larger Taoist palace to manage the prosperous civilization that may appear in the future, and more unified time and years. I am always annoyed by the various time conversions and year conversions on Zhongzhou Star. I need to deduce it every time to sort it out."

Bai Yan said coldly: "Time should indeed be unified. Every time I wake up from a deep sleep, I get annoyed by the various years."

His cold eyes swept across everyone, finally stopping on Wang Ping.

Xuan Qing said, "This should have been done a long time ago, but it has been delayed until now." He felt a deep sense of powerlessness when he said this.

Wang Ping glanced at Xuan Qing. From his tone, he could tell that the True Lords sometimes really did "do nothing". Some things that could be done at will could be delayed for thousands of years. Tian Gong raised his drooping eyelids, looked at Wang Ping and said, "This is important, but also simple. We can make a simple instrument according to the timekeeping method of the Zhongzhou Continent and place it in the Dao Palace to unify the time. The ecological zone in outer space can also calculate time in this way."

His voice was slow and steady, yet it carried a weight that could not be ignored.

"As for the calendar, we can also follow the customs of Zhongzhou and use 365 days as a year, and use the Taoist palace as the year name. What do you think?" After Tian Gong finished speaking, he looked around everyone's faces, as if soliciting opinions.

No one objected. This matter was just as Tian Gong said, very important yet simple, and had nothing to do with the interests of everyone. Perhaps this was the reason why they had delayed doing it until now.

Seeing that the matter was approved, Lieyang smiled and said to Wang Ping: "Leave this matter to the Dao Palace, and let them arrange for the weapon-refining monks to forge it."

His smile was bright, but perhaps only he knew what he was thinking.

Wang Ping nodded slightly, his attitude humble yet dignified.

Lieyang continued: "I support your idea in principle. We also need enough believers to advance our divine arts." When he talked about divine arts, a hint of expectation flashed in his eyes.

As soon as these words were spoken, Tiangong and Baiyan's expressions became somewhat relaxed.

Then Lieyang stared at Tiangong and Baiyan, "I know your concerns, but you have also seen the problem of the foreign rebels. We can't just passively defend against the troubles that come to us. We also need to prevent the troubles in advance. The best way now is to use a large number of side sect monks to assimilate the foreign borders."

Bai Yan faced Lieyang's gaze and said, "I don't object. It's not that I don't know how to think. We have been spinning in circles for tens of thousands of years. It is not impossible for us to make other attempts. This is what happened when we supported the Star God Alliance to build the extraterritorial border. But the lesson from the past is right in front of us. This time we need stricter rules, otherwise we will just be the second extraterritorial rebels!"

His voice was icy cold, but it was not directed at anyone, it was just his nature.

Lieyang looked around and saw Wang Ping about to speak. He motioned for him to be patient and then said, "I just said that we need to build a larger Taoist palace to supervise, and then use our own disciples to contain them, just like Zhongzhou Star. Although there have been occasional accidents over the years, there have been no problems."

Bai Yan frowned and said, "The key is the people in the ecological zone. We can't be contaminated by too much worldly things. The disciples of my sect are forbidden to contact too many mortals. They will not be able to withstand the attraction of mortal flesh and blood, and thus go astray!"

Lieyang smiled and said, "Then let the mortals manage it themselves. Do you still need me to teach you about this?" There was a hint of sarcasm in his smile.

"A huge mortal kingdom will be born. Perhaps when I wake up from my sleep, they will have overthrown our golden statue. The Xia Dynasty is the best example!" Bai Yan's voice suddenly rose.

"The reason why the Xia Dynasty has disloyalty has nothing to do with their strength, right? It's because you have bewitched the royal family, and you even took advantage of my confusion to bewitch my disciples to help you!" Lieyang did not give in.

Seeing that Lieyang and Bai Yan were about to quarrel, Xuanqing looked at Tiangong who was indifferent, and then looked at Wang Ping who looked as if it had nothing to do with him, so he had to step in and say, "Stabilize your humanity, and don't be constrained by thoughts that shouldn't appear."

The two of them looked at Xuanqing, and then really quieted down.

After a few moments of silence, Tian Gong continued with a smile, "Only the starry sky where all living things exist has meaning and can be called civilization. We can guide the civilization of mortals, just like we guided the civilization of Zhongzhou Star."

When he said this, he glanced at Lieyang, and then set his gaze on Wang Ping. "The incident with the rebels outside the domain was caused by our negligence. It has nothing to do with our previous decision. But the incident outside the domain also let us know that we can actually influence the wider starry sky."

"We can try, but stay away from it. I will watch you, all the time. You can't cross the line!" Tiangong's voice suddenly became serious, and the gentle smile also restrained a little.

At the end he looked into Lieyang's eyes again.

Obviously, Tiangong and Lieyang had had detailed communication before, otherwise it would be impossible for them to say these words. At the same time, Wang Ping clearly felt that although Tiangong agreed to his plan, his attitude always maintained a sense of distance.

Wang Ping was not surprised that this matter was passed unanimously. He now understood the natures of the True Lords. Except for Lieyang, who had merged the humanity of Taoist Zhenyang and still maintained a sense of enterprising, the others had an indifferent attitude, but the premise of their indifferent attitude was not to harm their interests.

At this time, Lieyang looked at Wang Ping and motioned him to elaborate.

Wang Ping first humbly bowed and greeted them. When everyone looked at him, he said, "Just like what Daoist Fellow Lieyang said just now, we can extend the system of the Dao Palace to outer space. The Xuanmen and Tianmen factions will continue to develop on their own, creating and reproducing their own ecological zones. Other ecological zones will divide the starry sky into countless areas in a way of enfeoffment..."

His method did not impress other True Lords. To put it bluntly, it was just moving the Zhongzhou Star system to outer space. Perhaps the True Lords had discussed this issue countless times, but had never reached a conclusion.

"Then let's try again." This time Wang Ping elaborated on the topic, and Bai Yan spoke first, "I hope I can have some free time."

He did not expect to be able to rest easy, nor did he ever think of leaving this starry sky.

No one else objected.

After the matter was settled, Lieyang mentioned to Wang Ping what he had said before: "The four realms of the underground cave gate, and the four realms of the True Yang that I promised you, you should get them done as soon as possible."

After he finished speaking, he looked at Xuan Qing again, "Have you chosen someone to advance to the fourth realm?"

Xuan Qing shook his head and said, "Nowadays, some of the disciples of Yuqing Sect are not very enterprising. Many of them have been promoted to the third realm and have never thought about being promoted to the fourth realm."

Tian Gong continued: "That's right, they have been living in comfort for too long..."

Upon hearing this, Yu Lian complained in her spiritual sea: "Isn't it because they control the number of places in the four realms too strictly, causing many people to lose the desire to advance?" (End of this chapter)
