The prehistoric infrastructure maniac

Chapter 132 Shi Mo Talks about Rise and Fall

Having obtained the magical treasure, Taoist Duobao was filled with joy and started to work on selling the cave.

Not long after he left, the Jiuding Tiecha Mountain, which had been quiet for a long time, became lively again, because before Fuxi and Pangu left the human race and went to Phoenix Mountain, they came to visit Shi Mo specially.

"Greetings, the saint!" Pangu and Yuannu took the lead in paying respects when they saw Shi Mo, and Youchao, Ziyi and Suiren also hurriedly followed suit.

However, Suiren was obviously a little surprised to see Shi Mo, and Huaxu beside him was even more surprised and incredulous: "Father, father?"

"What?" Pangu and the others were visibly stunned. Fuxi also looked at Shi Mo in slight surprise: "Father?"

"Haha. My eldest grandson, you can't call me father. You have to call me grandpa," Shi Mo laughed out loud. Looking at Hua Xu, whose face was full of excitement and whose beautiful eyes were red, he couldn't help but laugh and said, "That's right! I am indeed your father!"

"Father." Hua Xu couldn't help but hug Shi Mo with joy. Then he asked, "Father, where are Mother and my younger brother?"

"They are all in the Heavenly Court. The Xingyun Emperor, the current Lord of the Heavenly Court, is my incarnation," Shi Mo explained with a faint smile, "and your mother, Huang Long, is now the Galaxy General of the Heavenly Court!"

"I didn't expect that Hua Xu is actually the daughter of Senior Shi Mo," Pangu, who was also full of surprise, couldn't help but react with some surprise.

With this relationship, Shi Mo and the human race will become even closer, and the human race will have a solid saint to back it up!
Seeing his mother Huaxu's happy face, Fuxi felt a little embarrassed and uncomfortable.

It would be fine if he was just the Human Emperor Fuxi, but even if he became the Earth Emperor, one of the Three Emperors, Shi Mo still deserved to be called Grandpa.

But he is also Nuwa's elder brother, and he and Shi Mo used to be friends. Now their relationship is really...
"Fuxi, come here, this is your first time meeting your grandpa!" Hua Xu said as she pulled Fuxi over, making Fuxi feel even more embarrassed and helpless.

Seeing his reaction, Shi Mo couldn't help but laugh: "Haha. Well, let's not be so concerned about status and relationship. You are both my old friend and my grandson!"

Fuxi smiled awkwardly and nodded, but he still felt awkward.

If he had known that his mother Hua Xu was Shi Mo's daughter, he probably wouldn't have come to see Shi Mo on purpose. This is really uncomfortable!
"Let's get down to business! You came to see me specially, not just for the occasion, right?" Shi Mo turned to look at Pangu and Suiren and asked.

Pangu's expression also became slightly more serious. "Senior, our human race has finally become strong and powerful, and now it has become the largest clan in the prehistoric world. But suddenly, Nuwa asked us to go to Phoenix Mountain to practice, and asked us to stop interfering in our affairs. She also said that this was the intention of Hongjun Daozu. I wonder what the ancestor and the saints mean?"

"Do you think the three tribes of dragon, phoenix and unicorn at the beginning of the world, as well as the two tribes of witches and liches that dominated the ancient world before are powerful? How does the human race compare to them?" Shi Mo asked in return.

Pangu, Youchao and Suiren, grandfather and grandson, looked at each other in confusion, not quite understanding what Shi Mo meant for a moment.

"They were all once powerful, but what's become of them now?" Shi Mo continued, "Do you want the human race to follow their path of prosperity and decline?"

Upon hearing what Shi Mo said, Suiren's face changed slightly, and Pangu also frowned.

"Senior, are you saying that the human race will also decline after reaching its peak?" Youchao couldn't help but ask anxiously, "But didn't the three races of dragon, phoenix, and unicorn, as well as the two races of witch and lich, decline because of fighting among themselves?"

"What you said is true, but not entirely correct," Shi Mo said, shaking his head slightly, "Nowadays, the human race has no powerful external enemies? Do you think this is a good thing?" "Father, without external enemies, there will be no fighting and fighting. Isn't that good?" Hua Xu couldn't help asking.

"Without external enemies, there will be no fighting?" Shi Mo shook his head and smiled:
"So, does fishing and hunting by humans kill? Does it count as slaughter? Once humans become powerful, the other tribes in the prehistoric world will be powerless to resist. Slowly, humans will have enough strength to suppress all living creatures in the prehistoric world. But will all living creatures willingly accept being suppressed and slaughtered at will?"

"Just like when the human race was powerless to resist the demon race, did the human race accept its fate? Did the human race willingly accept being slaughtered?" Shi Mo continued, "The human race's strength will only encourage the weaker creatures of the prehistoric world to unite, creating a situation where they are enemies of all living creatures."

"This..." Suiren and the others looked at each other, unable to refute for a moment, even Fuxi couldn't help but frown and became slightly serious.

"In fact, humanity's greatest enemy has never come from the outside world, but from humanity itself," Shi Mo continued in a resounding voice.

"What will be the biggest problem once the human race becomes so powerful that there are no external enemies? You all know how fast the human race reproduces. Have you ever thought about what will happen if the human race becomes too numerous and ordinary humans don't have enough food? Will you eat up all living beings?"

"What should we do when there are more and more human cultivators, and when the spiritual energy of the prehistoric world can no longer provide them with what they need for cultivation?"

Shi Mo's repeated questioning left Pangu and the others speechless and some even stared in astonishment.

"It is possible that there are too many humans and there is not enough food. But there are too many cultivators and the spiritual energy of the ancient world is not enough for cultivation. Isn't this a bit exaggerated?" Suiren couldn't help but say.

"Can the Qingqiu Plains support the entire human race today? Why did the human race leave the Qingqiu Plains and multiply and migrate to various parts of the prehistoric world? Isn't it to find sufficient food?"

Shi Mo glanced at Pangu and said, "Then why do you think that the Great Desolate World can accommodate an endless number of living beings and an increasing number of cultivators? Is the Great Desolate World infinite? Is the energy in the Great Desolate World truly inexhaustible?"

Suiren and Youchao looked at each other in silence. They had indeed never considered what Shi Mo said. It can only be said that different perspectives lead to different perspectives and cognitions.

"So, Daozu and several saints don't want the human race to grow too fast?" Pangu asked thoughtfully.

"When water is full, it overflows; when the moon is full, it wanes," Shi Mo said meaningfully. "So, if we want a pool to have a constant supply of fresh water without overflowing, what's the best way?"

"Scoop out some!" Hua Xu said subconsciously.

When Pangu and the others heard this, they were all shocked and felt as if they had been enlightened.

"Haha. That's right! As expected of my daughter, she's really smart!" Shi Mo smiled and nodded, then said:

"Whether it's the Dragon, Phoenix, Qilin, or the Lich, they were all once powerful. But why did the number of truly top-tier warriors within their tribes barely increase in the end? Have you ever thought about this?"

Seeing Pangu and the others looking at each other in confusion, Shi Mo couldn't help but laugh, "Because after they became powerful, they slowly turned into a pool of stagnant water. Although they can inject some vitality, they are also wantonly consuming it."
