Quick Wear: Random Cheats

Chapter 148 Extra - The human heart is unpredictable, the Holy Body is nowhere to be found

More than a hundred years passed in a flash.

If we say that more than a hundred years ago, the Jiuzhou Kingdom ruled by Yuanjun Mansion was positive and enterprising, then more than a hundred years later, the Jiuzhou Kingdom fell into complete stagnation.

The unification of the world, abundant resources, and the absence of external enemies made Kyushu feel no sense of crisis.

There is no motivation to develop technology.

This is actually quite normal. Without the conflicts of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, there would be no Hundred Schools of Thought, no World Wars and the Cold War, and no technological explosion and space race. When you can make money and survive without working hard, who would bother with R&D?
If you don't want to have perfect control over the world, you do need convenient communications and fast transportation and logistics.

Maybe it’s the scientific research plan left by Ding Shui.

Neither can necessarily be achieved perfectly.

However, the scientific research plan left by Ding Shui only stopped at the Second Industrial Revolution. For many years thereafter, the technology in all aspects of Kyushu Kingdom made only slight progress at most.

There are no more big, epoch-making changes.

It lasted until the 250th year of the Holy Calendar.

Two of Ding Shui's disciples died this year. After all, her disciples were unable to absorb the essence of the sun or the moonlight of the moon to practice on their own. It was impossible for them to transform again by relying solely on ordinary meat and blood pills made from plants.

Hence their maximum lifespan.

In fact, it’s only been three hundred years.

Two elderly, injured people died around the year 250 of the Holy Calendar, which was reasonable and normal.

It was from this year that Ding Shui's disciples began to die one after another. At the same time, because most of them had no descendants, the remaining people and the current rulers of Yuanjun Mansion, after some consultation, decided to build the Sage Hall to store their bodies.

Enjoy national sacrifices.

The maximum lifespan of ordinary people is between 120 and 150 years old, while the maximum lifespan of Dingshui's disciples has reached 300 years. The two cannot be considered the same species. They have undergone a transformation.

There is a gap between us and ordinary people.

It is extremely difficult to get pregnant and have a child.

Since he had no offspring and had made great contributions, it was understandable and natural for him to enjoy state sacrifices.

By the 270th year of the Holy Calendar.

There are few left alive.

After all, most of Ding Shui's disciples were over 290 years old this year. In the 284th year of the Holy Calendar, Ding Shui's sister-in-law Zhao Yayun passed away.

All the founders of Kyushu Kingdom died.

Because Zhao Yayun obtained more pseudo-life origins, even if she did not undergo a second transformation, she still lived beyond the limit of 300 years. However, it was really difficult for her to exceed that limit by much, so she eventually died.

Although they had been inactive for nearly a hundred years, they were ultimately the pillars of the Nine Provinces. Their demise, coupled with the vastness of the empire, quickly spurred turmoil within the Great Nine Provinces. Fortunately, they had ruled the country for nearly three hundred years, and many ambitious individuals and established clans had long since been completely wiped out. The people were well-fed and well-groomed, and supervision was strict, making it difficult to spark a large-scale uprising as in the past.

Therefore, the next hundred years were more about fighting for power and profit.

and wanting local autonomy.

The world is basically peaceful.

At the same time, the internal strife is not actually a purely bad thing, because the internal power struggles over the past century have ultimately promoted the development of science and technology to a certain extent. Many taboo research projects have also begun to emerge one after another because of the loss of suppression, and are secretly studied in private.

The bodies of Dingshui's disciples looked intact, but in fact a lot of their hair, nails and blood had been stolen.

Some of the bodies had incomplete internal organs.

After all, they underestimated human greed.

Although the art of body refinement has long since been declassified and is now practiced by the entire population, without the pseudo-life essence to compensate for the deficiencies of the body's original essence, they are unable to complete the transformation. Therefore, at best, they can only extend the lifespan from the average 120 years to 150. No matter how wealthy or hardworking one is, they can only live to 146 or 147 years old at most. Without such dedication, living to 130 is quite common.

In this way, you will have power, influence and status.

How could he not covet the lives of Tian Minghui and the others?

Tian Minghui and her companions, the shortest lifespan reached 267. Many powerful individuals with ample resources and training ultimately lived only half as long. So, realistically, while Tian Minghui and her companions were still alive, people were secretly buying their clipped hair, nails, and dandruff, among other things, for exorbitant prices. However, this was done covertly, maintaining a high level of secrecy.

However, Zhao Yayun also died.

Some people's behavior is becoming more and more excessive and unscrupulous, and it has even become an unspoken rule in private.

Anyone who has reached a certain level knows this.

Initially, they stole blood for research, but eventually, feeling their blood research wasn't thorough enough, they began to seek ways to steal organs and bone marrow, and indeed, they achieved some success. While they didn't extend lifespan to 300 years, many people managed to live to 150 or 160 years old, by transplanting bone marrow from corpses or replacing their blood with their own.

Of course, the premise is that they can match.

When things developed to this point, they were actually no longer under control. However, at that time, most ordinary people were still unaware of this. Until a disciple with descendants, Dai Li, came to the Sage Hall with great anticipation to observe the remains of the ancestor, no, to be precise, the holy body. No matter how he looked at it, he felt that something was wrong.
I always feel that my ancestors seem to be somewhat depressed.

But logically speaking, our ancestors had clearly said that although their bodies could not be indestructible, they could definitely be preserved for three to five hundred years after death, even without any antiseptic measures. But now, less than a hundred years after death, how could their bodies start to collapse?

After returning, she felt more and more that something was wrong. After much inquiry, she soon learned that someone might have stolen the blood, or even the organs and bone marrow, of the sages in the Hall of Sages.

So, after a while, she secretly brought in a small scanner and scanned her ancestor's body. With a scanner, how could she not tell if the body was intact or missing something? If those people had only stolen some of her ancestor's bone marrow or blood, the scanner might not have been able to detect it, but the internal organs were completely missing.

It's really hard not to see.

After discovering this situation, Dai Li's mentality completely got out of control. The next day, she made sufficient preparations, started the live broadcast, and spent a huge amount of money to attract millions of viewers.

Then he destroyed the glass protecting the remains of his ancestor in public, took out a scanner, and loudly revealed the truth.

Then he scanned the other holy bodies.

Many holy bodies were found without their internal organs.

This move was a resounding success, with millions of viewers broadcasting the live broadcast. Within half an hour, the entire nation was outraged. Millions of locals quickly surrounded the Sage Temple, demanding the truth and severe punishment for the murderer. The outcry online was also terrifying.

Some people condemn, while others reveal more truth.

Yuanjun Mansion had to intervene.

And quickly arrest the murderer.

The truth was cruel: it was Daly's great-grandfather, already 130 years old, who had committed the crime. Unwilling to accept his demise, he thought his ancestor's blood and bone marrow would be the least likely to be rejected. So, he bribed someone to steal his ancestor's bone marrow, blood, and internal organs. Some of the material was processed and transplanted directly into his own body, while others were taken to pharmaceutical companies and made into longevity potions for injection.

He is truly a filial son and grandson, so filial that it makes people crazy.

Then Dai Li collapsed first. She really didn't expect the truth of the matter to be like this. However, the matter obviously would not end there, because in addition to the problem with the corpse of Dai Li's ancestor, there were also problems with many of the corpses of other saints, whether they had descendants or not.

A large number of devout believers simply cannot accept this.

Afterwards, hundreds of millions of people called on the Internet to cremate the holy bodies of the saints, even if it meant cremating them into ashes, and not leaving them to be desecrated.

But there are also a large number of people who, driven by their own selfish desires, or under the instigation and bribery of certain forces, believe that those saints have already passed away anyway, and that dissecting and studying their bodies to find out the truth about their immortality is the greatest contribution to mankind.

If ordinary people can donate their bodies for medical research, why can't those saints do the same?

For a time, there was great controversy.

A few days later, some who believed the bodies of the saints must not be defiled, seeing growing support online, could no longer sit still. They secretly united and attacked the Saint Hall. They brought a large amount of incendiary materials, intending to reduce all the saints' bodies within the hall to ash to prevent them from being defiled.

Little did they know that this was exactly what some people wanted.

In reality, the bodies of the saints and sages within the Sage Hall had already been swapped, and those who hadn't been swapped had also managed to do so after learning of the plan to burn the hall. Therefore, the firefighters encountered numerous difficulties and obstacles along the way, not only from the arsonists but also from the forces that had swapped the bodies.

With their collaboration.

There was no way to extinguish the flames.

So the final result was that the Hall of Sages was destroyed, and all the remaining ashes were collected. The Sages' Mausoleum and the Sages' Monument were built on the spot, engraved with the names of all the sages and their life stories.

Then, those who set the fire were naturally despised by the whole nation and were basically sentenced to exile.

The time limit is mostly more than 20 years.

From then on, all the holy bodies of the saints that were in public were burned, and the related public opinion gradually subsided, but most of the holy bodies of the saints in private fell into the hands of major forces. They began to conduct more daring research, seeking immortality rather than strength.
