My cultivation is too warm

Spirit of the Mysterious Realm?

Xu Mo was slightly taken aback by the words of the First Evil of All Heavens. What was the connection between resetting the timeline and the spirit of the secret realm?
Seeing Xu Mo's reaction, the First Evil of All Heavens smiled faintly and explained:
"Haven't you noticed yet? That 'Human Saint Master' ancestor was essentially created based on the technological path of the Dharma-ending Age."

"A technological creation?" Xu Mo was taken aback. He then carefully recalled the characteristics of the Spirit of the Secret Realm alchemy furnace in his mind.

But no matter how you look at it, the spirit of the secret realm doesn't show any characteristics of a "technological product" at all. There are no switches or traces of energy on its body.

The most important aspect of technological creation is energy. Without energy, an existence like the Spirit of the Mystic Realm simply could not survive.

Seeing Xu Mo's expression of utter disbelief, the First Evil of the Heavens raised an eyebrow and asked, "What? You think it's impossible? Unbelievable?"

Xu Mo was slightly taken aback. He frowned and thought about it carefully again, but still couldn't see how the spirit of the secret realm resembled a technological creation. So he nodded honestly, cupped his hands in greeting, and replied:
"No matter how I think about it, I can't combine the spirit of the secret realm with technological creations. Putting aside everything else, if it is a technological creation, how could it have survived from the distant ancient times to the present? I don't think technological creations can exist for so long. Normally, they should have decayed under the baptism of time long ago."

He paused for a moment, then continued, "Moreover, and most importantly, Shennong Yandi Jiang Nian was, after all, a person from the distant ancient times. Even if he could travel through the river of time, he shouldn't have been able to learn scientific knowledge, let alone create such advanced technological products. This is clearly unreasonable."

"If the ancestor Shennong Yandi Jiang Nian really understood scientific knowledge, why didn't he spread it? After all, scientific knowledge can play a huge role in the lives of ordinary people and can enable all living beings to live a better life. Given the ancestor's caring nature towards all living beings, how could he possibly give up this opportunity?"

The First Evil of All Heavens smiled and nodded slightly upon hearing this, saying, "What you said does make some sense, but..."

He paused for a moment, then continued, "First of all, the reason why you can't see the scientific technology used by the 'Human Saint Master' is actually quite simple: the technology he uses far exceeds the scope of this era, and even surpasses your understanding as the 'Ancestor of Science.' So it's not surprising that you can't see it."

"What?!" Xu Mo stared at the First Evil of All Heavens in utter shock. "Science and technology far surpassing this era? This, how is this possible?"

If that's the case, then who is the real primitive man, me or Shennong Yandi Jiang Nian?

The First Evil of All Heavens nodded slightly, then explained in a somewhat heavy tone:

"That's right. In fact, this 'human race's holy teacher' was originally the alternative path left by the ancestor Shennong for this era."

"Alternative options? What do you mean? I don't quite understand." Xu Mo looked bewildered.

The First Evil of All Heavens explained: "According to the vision of the ancestor Shennong Yandi, if the cultivation method he left behind, which teaches the cultivation of heaven and earth and enters the Dao through science, is still undeciphered after a certain period of time, then at that time, that 'human race saint teacher' will transform into a vessel carrying knowledge when his life ends, rapidly advancing the science and technology of future humans and taking the path of mechanical ascension. In this way, future humans can also become powerful in a different way."

"Mechanical ascension?" Xu Mo's eyes widened, his worldview shattered. He was now absolutely certain that compared to the ancestor Shennong Yandi, he was the real primitive man.

After a long while, he calmed down, let out a long breath, and asked, "How did our ancestors learn all this knowledge?"

The First Evil of All Heavens shook his head and replied, "I don't know about that. However, as I told you before, the reason why the ancestor Shennong Yandi was not at a high level was because he sacrificed his own potential, which far exceeded the realm of the Great Dao Venerable, to deduce the way forward for the future. In this way, it is understandable that he possessed a lot of knowledge."

He paused for a moment, then continued, "Back to your previous question, as for that 'Human Saint Master' ancestor, it seems that he has survived to the present day after enduring countless ages since the distant ancient times, but is that really the case? You've been inside that Shennong Secret Realm, didn't you notice anything amiss?"

Xu Mo frowned slightly, stroked his chin, and said, "Senior, do you mean that the flow of time in the Shennong Secret Realm has been adjusted? But the spirit of the secret realm clearly said that he spent countless long years there."

He didn't feel anything wrong with the flow of time when he was in the Shennong Secret Realm, or rather, he didn't care at all. After all, he had spent his entire life in the illusion. It's not normal for the flow of time to be wrong, is it?

The First Evil of All Heavens scoffed upon hearing this and said, "If I locked you in a dark and sunless place where you were all alone, even one night would feel incredibly long."

"Uh... I see." Upon hearing this, Xu Mo instantly understood. It made perfect sense. Moreover, considering that the spirit of the secret realm harbored endless resentment towards the Shennong Ancestor, every minute and every second spent in the Shennong Secret Realm was an agonizing ordeal.

Once he understood, the First Evil Insight of the Heavens continued, "As for why the ancestor Shennong did not spread the way of science, it is even easier to explain. After all, this is knowledge of the future. If it were spread all at once, it would be like pulling up seedlings to help them grow. Moreover, it would disrupt the future plans. For the sake of the future development of mankind, isn't this choice easy to understand?"

Xu Mo understood and could comprehend it. The ancestor Shennong cared for all living beings, both the past and the future. Therefore, it was perfectly normal for him not to spread scientific knowledge in the past for the sake of the future.

However, he still had a question in his mind: "But when I read the memories of the Spirit of the Secret Realm, the Spirit of the Secret Realm existed first, and then the Ancestor Shennong Yandi discovered me. But at that time, the Ancestor was just a mortal. Even if he sacrificed his own potential to gain the knowledge of mechanical ascension, it must have been after he created the Spirit of the Secret Realm, right?"

The First Evil of All Heavens was stunned for a moment upon hearing this, then looked at Xu Mo with an expression as if he were a fool, until Xu Mo couldn't bear it any longer. Only then did he sigh helplessly and say in a somewhat melancholy tone:

"I take back what I said before. The reason why you can't create a path of cultivation is not your fault but the fault of this world. I now think that perhaps there are some reasons within yourself as well."

Upon hearing this, Xu Mo was immediately speechless with anger. He realized that this big shot was implying that he was stupid, which was rather infuriating.

Just as he was about to defend himself, the First Evil of the Heavens sighed again and said, "I said from the beginning that the timeline of the Primordial Era may have been reset by the Ancestor Shennong Yandi. The evidence for my speculation is the existence of that 'Human Saint Master,' who proved my speculation."

He sighed again, his tone weary and helpless, "So, why did you ask that question?"

"Ah, this..." After hearing what the other person said, Xu Mo realized what was going on. He then scratched his head awkwardly and asked in a slightly embarrassed tone:

"I understand, senior. You mean that the ancestor Shennong Yandi saw the future of me or this era at other times, and then deduced a way to save this era. In this process, according to his deduction, I in the future will read the memories of the spirit of the secret realm in some possibility. In order to guide me to decipher the method of 'teaching the world and science to enter the Dao,' he reset everything in the past in advance, making the past develop according to his plan, so that I could see the past that he had deliberately arranged, and thus guide me, is that right?"

The First Evil of All Heavens nodded. Xu Mo suddenly understood. He marveled at the powerful deductive abilities of the Shennong Yan Emperor Ancestor, but then a question popped into his head: "If that's the case, then at what time did the Shennong Yan Emperor Ancestor originally see me?"

The First Evil of All Heavens rolled his eyes at him upon hearing this, and then replied irritably, "How would I know? I'm not Shennong, the ancestor of the gods. Perhaps you can try to recall it yourself."

"Uh..." Xu Mo's expression froze for a moment, realizing that his question was indeed a bit silly. Then he smiled apologetically at the number one evil god in the heavens.

Seeing this, the First Evil of All Heavens curled his lip and said, "Alright, I've said enough. I'll go and copy down the deciphered technique for you. The rest is up to you. I'll go back to playing the game."

With that, he flicked his sleeves, got up, and walked toward the research institute.

Xu Mo respectfully replied, "In that case, I'll trouble you, senior." With that, he hurriedly followed.

Then, under the eager gaze of countless researchers at the research institute, the First Evil of All Heavens handed a thin booklet to Xu Mo.

"I have also studied the ancient script, so you don't need to worry about not understanding it. Furthermore, my drawing skills are absolutely top-notch. Every drawing of every action is the most standard. In case you make a mistake, I have also specially provided you with video demonstrations of the corresponding actions. In short, I have handed over everything left to you by the ancestor Shennong without any errors. The rest is up to you."

Upon hearing this, Xu Mo accepted the booklet and the bank card, and then solemnly said, "This junior will certainly live up to the expectations of our ancestor Shennong Yandi and our senior."

Upon hearing this, the First Evil of All Heavens waved his hand dismissively, saying, "That's none of my business. Since I can't cultivate anyway, I certainly won't live much longer. In that case, whether or not all laws and paths can be restored in the future is none of my concern. I'd rather just enjoy the feeling of being the only one of my kind in the game."

Seeing this, Xu Mo quickly said, "Senior, don't worry. When the cultivation era returns in the future, I will definitely revive you from the river of time. At that time, whatever game you want to play, I will arrange for someone to develop it for you. I will make sure you have a great time."

The First Evil of All Heavens glanced at him with surprise, and said with some suspicion:

"Resurrect me? You're really that kind, kid? Aren't you terrified of me? Besides, you should know that what I pursue is absolute power and absolute supremacy. If I'm really resurrected, aren't you worried that I'll cause some great chaos?"

Xu Mo chuckled upon hearing this, "Senior, you're right. To be honest, the psychological trauma you inflicted on me back then was immense. That feeling of despair and suffocation is still fresh in my memory and I can't shake it off."

The First Evil of All Heavens opened his mouth, about to say something, but Xu Mo interrupted him and continued:

"But that's all in the past. Putting aside the fact that you and our Immortal Pure Heavens and our Ancient World stood on the same side later and were solid and reliable comrades-in-arms, just look at the present. No matter how much psychological trauma you caused me back then, or how afraid I was, aren't we still like family now, or like a kind and approachable senior and a respectful junior, sitting together and communicating harmoniously?"

"Moreover, this cultivation method was deciphered by you, senior. Without you, we don't know how many years it would have taken to decipher it. Perhaps by the time the spirit of the secret realm transforms into a carrier of knowledge and the world has embarked on the path of mechanical ascension, we still might not have deciphered it."

"Therefore, as one of the biggest contributors, it would be unreasonable if you were not even willing to be resurrected in the future."

At this point, Xu Mo's tone became more serious, and he said solemnly, "So, senior, you only need to look forward to how many new and fun games will be waiting for you after countless years. I guarantee you will have a great time."

The First Evil of All Heavens remained silent for a while, then stared at him sideways, sneered and said, "It is quite fitting to say that I am a kind and approachable elder, but to boast that you are a junior who respects elders is just flattering yourself. Don't think I don't know that when we first met, you were full of bad intentions."

Xu Mo was taken aback for a moment upon hearing this, then scratched his head awkwardly and said with a forced smile, "Uh... back then, we weren't familiar with each other yet, were we? Hahaha, now this junior truly respects you from the bottom of his heart, senior."

The First Evil of All Heavens rolled his eyes at him and said irritably, "Alright, whether we can have fun in the future is still too far away. If you really care, then arrange the cultivation technique as soon as possible, and then come and accompany me to online and offline dungeons."

Upon hearing this, Xu Mo cupped his hands in greeting and solemnly replied, "Since you have invited me, senior, I will certainly make sure you enjoy yourself. Please wait a few days, and I will go online as soon as I have made the arrangements."

The First Evil of All Heavens nodded. "Then I will wait for you."

After saying that, he was about to leave when he suddenly seemed to remember something and turned back to say, "By the way, don't you think many games are missing a certain character?"

"What role?" Xu Mo asked, somewhat puzzled.

The First Evil of All Heavens slightly raised his head and replied, "Do you think that designing a character based on my own template would make the game more interesting?"

Xu Mo was slightly taken aback, then nodded solemnly in agreement, saying, "Senior's words make sense. I will contact those game development companies immediately and ask them to launch this character as soon as possible."

The First Evil of All Heavens nodded with satisfaction, "Then I will look forward to it."

After saying that, he turned and left. From his back, you could tell that he was in a good mood, and his steps were very light.

Xu Mo didn't give him a perfunctory answer; he immediately contacted the game company and asked them to release the character as soon as possible.

After arranging this matter, he finally let out a long sigh and looked at the booklet in his hand.
