"Question: In ancient times, there were countless gods. Although the mystique faded in the barbarian lands, people still believed that the sky was round and the earth was square." A young man stood up and spoke.
With the collapse of the Heavenly Pillar, not only did the East suffer, but the mystery of the West also seemed to be affected, beginning to fade rapidly.
This process may have lasted for hundreds or even thousands of years, so even today, there are still gods walking on the earth in the West.
"Because they want faith!"
Bai Yue spoke, seemingly having anticipated this.
God needs a complete world, which is not the external world, but the world as perceived by believers.
The world of heaven and earth is the world that the gods need. As for what the world is actually like?
Unless one day these gods can rule the entire world, and everyone is just dividing up the world's power, who cares what the world is really like?
Despite the constant stream of questions, Baiyue remained calm and composed.
I came to this world only to enhance my own power; everything else seems unnecessary.
This unconventional academic seminar lasted for three days and three nights. When it came time to divide the countries that would test their theories, unsurprisingly, he was excluded.
The Nanzhao Kingdom!
This is a country quite far from the major dynasties of the Central Plains; in the words of the Central Plains dynasties, it is a land of barbarians.
The further away from Tianzhu, the less valuable such a place is in the eyes of these people. Before Su Mo left, he watched as these people fought tooth and nail over that one city.
The Nanzhao Kingdom was very remote. When Baiyue arrived there, the population was less than five thousand and there was no decent civilization.
Baiyue settled down.
When he had nothing else to do, he would teach the people of this land, and then he would begin his cultivation.
Then--
Baiyue discovered something really damn stupid.
Although his physical aptitude was poor, he was extremely perceptive of the principles of heaven and earth, as if he was born to write books and establish doctrines. Therefore, Baiyue simply stopped cultivating.
A year of cultivation here is not even as good as a day of cultivation in the real world.
Under his guidance, the Nanzhao Kingdom changed almost daily.
In the first year, they manufactured the curved plow, and Nanzhao gained tens of thousands of acres of fertile land.
The following year, they learned iron smelting and built a city, and they adopted the Moon Worship Cult as their state religion.
Bai Yue lived a simple life, spending her spare time studying magic and crafting artifacts, which were the things closest to the essence of the world.
Even if one's physical attributes are altered, one's comprehension and the power of one's 'heart' still remain.
What is magic?
Although he used a lot of magic before, Su Mo thought it was more like a bodily instinct.
I formed a hand seal, and the Qi in my body followed a specific Qi circulation route, which enabled me to use magic techniques.
But after careful examination, Baiyue discovered that this was not actually the case.
There are certain rules governing the universe, just like the rising and setting of the sun and moon, and volcanic eruptions.
The 'qi' within the body is used to simulate the 'qi' in the universe, and by invoking nature, magic is created.
What if we depicted this Qi circulation route on a tool?
Baiyue put his plan into practice. In the first year, he carved the Maoshan talismans onto an ordinary stone.
It was difficult to depict at first, since there was no Qi to guide on the stone. After breaking countless stones, Baiyue finally grasped that feeling.
Every object is made up of the smallest particles. If you can find the gaps between these particles and form a stable circuit, you can successfully depict it.
The stone attracted a bolt of lightning and turned back into an ordinary stone.
However, it also provided a direction for moon worship.
Therefore, Baiyue depicted a very ordinary route for cultivating Qi, supplemented by techniques.
It worked!
The joy of creating something from nothing made Baiyue cheer with delight.
Baiyue then continued to experiment with various techniques and methods, exploring their operational routes.
There were successes and failures.
In order to get closer to the essence of the world, Baiyue buried himself underground for a whole month, and when he crawled out, he was almost completely exhausted.
I also found the crater and experienced the pulse hidden deep within the volcano many times.
He also often hangs himself upside down under giant trees, just to clear his mind and think about problems better.
There were countless times when he almost killed himself.
Although I possess the power of the 'heart,' the power of the 'heart' is more about forcibly distorting reality.
The distorted reality will eventually be corrected by the world, so I really almost died~
The Nanzhao Kingdom's development was also accelerating day by day, especially after some individuals with special markings joined the country, which brought about a qualitative leap in its development speed.
They were called "Yiren" by the Nanzhao Kingdom.
They may not be considered cultivators, but each of them possesses extraordinary power.
Time is like sand slipping through your fingers, always passing by unnoticed.
Fifty years!
Baiyue's appearance remains unchanged, seemingly no different from decades ago, but in recent days Baiyue has come to know that the world has undergone great changes.
In the Central Plains, the various dynasties were in a state of intellectual ferment, and the different kingdoms were constantly fighting each other to the point of exhaustion.
Furthermore, five hegemons rose to power, known as the Five Hegemons of the Spring and Autumn Period!
The number of those who led the fall of their doctrines is countless.
Bai Yue didn't care, because what she had always wanted to do had reached a critical moment.
Lying in front of him was a woman with a bewitching appearance, dressed in extremely seductive attire.
This is the 'holy maiden' that the Nanzhao Kingdom presented to themselves, and she was also the subject carefully selected by Baiyue as a test subject!
Ordinary "superhumans" can easily do whatever abilities they grant to others.
In theory, they are no different from practitioners.
The difference is that they only need to master the ability, and can even become stronger by developing their own 'superpowers'.
But Baiyue wants more!
All that time was spent just to find another way.
A path that can help you become stronger quickly!
The woman in front of him was his first test subject.
"Om~"
The next moment, the girl opened her eyes.
The girl, who was originally just an ordinary girl, suddenly shone with a divine light, and her legs instantly grew longer, transforming into a snake tail in a moment.
"Master, Master, I...I've turned into a demon?"
The girl was terrified, and her delicate hands grabbed Baiyue as if she had grasped the last straw!
There are demons in this world!
But in the eyes of ordinary people, so-called monsters are those monsters that devour flesh and blood and kill people in the fields.
The girl was scared!
The main fear is that the cult leader will dislike him.
For the people of Nanzhao, the religious leader is both the heaven and the god of Nanzhao!
"It's alright, you've become a god!"
Bai Yue gently stroked the girl's hand to comfort her.
"god?"
The girl stared wide-eyed, her dark golden snake pupils flashing with a dull light.
I won't even explain why I worship the moon!
Fifty years is a long time. Perhaps he could have changed his own abilities and achieved that, but he didn't.
Even if he had the talent of Shi Jian back then, so what?
Except for certain specific creatures, there is no way to live forever in this world.
Decades later, you'll be nothing but a handful of dust. Even if you force yourself to live on using the power of your 'heart,' it's all an illusion. Without the blessing of your 'heart,' everything you've cultivated will be corrected by the world again.
Therefore, from the very beginning, Baiyue set its sights on a different path.
It seems useless, but—
What if we inscribed various magical runes on real-world mechs?
Under the golden light spell, the mecha body unleashed the fourth level of the Lightning Thunder Fist.
Or perhaps an aircraft carrier whose single shell could unleash the devastating power of a single strike?
Knowledge and cognition are sometimes more fascinating than mere strength.
Even setting aside these material possessions, his exploration of magic and the nature of supernatural beings allows him to use any magic with ease, even if he were to go back now.
Their strength may not have increased, but their combat power has at least doubled.
If cultivation and techniques are considered 'laws', then knowledge and the essence of the world are considered 'the Way'.
I am now a seeker of the Way.
"Possessing great power, immortality means not only not procreation but also eternal life. The snake tail is merely a manifestation of your Dharma in the outside world."
Worshiping the moon and counting the details.
God is not mysterious!
