Nuwa, the goddess of immortality, said that cultivating immortality does not require spiritual energ

After parting ways with Qin Le, Luo Qiuyue walked alone on the academy path, the suggestion echoing repeatedly in her mind—to temporarily seal her cultivation and experience the life of an ordinary person.

To be fair, Qin Le's suggestion hit the nail on the head. In this era of cultivation, almost everyone embarks on the path of cultivation after their spiritual affinity is measured at the age of six.

Before this, even young children had their families taking good care of them.

In the past five hundred years, it is probably impossible to find another person like Qin Le who has spent eighteen years as a purely mortal.

The reason is simple: once you start cultivating and have spiritual power in your body, learning basic spells is not difficult—even people with low affinity can master them.

With the exception of Qin Le, the lowest affinity level on record is 16%, which is still not a problem to cast some minor spells.

But what about Qin Le?

1% affinity.

Even though his comprehension was unparalleled throughout history and he had memorized all the spells, the pitifully thin spiritual power within him meant that the spells he cast were practically ineffective.

Therefore, it is no exaggeration for him to say that he lived a mortal life for eighteen years—he needed to eat and live like a real mortal, and to travel either on his own two legs or by relying on the means of transportation left over from the mortal era.

Although he could find someone to fly him, that would still be relying on someone else's help, and the only difference from taking a mode of transportation would be that it would be faster.

but……

Give up your power...

Even if it's only temporary—how many people can truly be willing to do it?

At least for now, Luo Qiuyue cannot make that decision.

"What are you planning to do?"

The voice of Yue Cijing gently echoed in her mind. She naturally also heard Qin Le's guidance to Luo Qiuyue.

"I haven't decided yet," Luo Qiuyue said truthfully, her tone tinged with a hint of struggle: "...I can't bear to part with it."

She was reluctant to part with the power she had painstakingly cultivated over the years. Even though it was only temporarily sealed, her heart was filled with an instinctive resistance.

"In that case, why not first learn about life in the mortal era?" Yue Cijing said gently, with understanding in her voice. "Perhaps it will offer some inspiration."

She understood Luo Qiuyue's feelings perfectly—if it were her, she would also find it difficult to immediately make up her mind to play the role of a powerless mortal.

"I understand, thank you, Master." Luo Qiuyue felt relieved and enlightened.

She was almost completely absorbed by Qin Le's words and forgot that there was a compromise.

Upon reflection, this might also stem from trust in Qin Le—after all, in the path of cultivation, the direction Qin Le points out is often the optimal solution, and one only needs to follow it without needing to think about it further.

Yue Cijing said no more. Luo Qiuyue turned and walked towards the library.

Luo Qiuyue found a quiet corner by the window, took out her laptop, and typed "Mortal Era Project" into the search bar.

In an instant, a massive amount of data and images appeared on the screen.

Among them was the dam that Qin Le had mentioned. Over the centuries, the giant dam ultimately could not withstand the erosion of time and collapsed more than a hundred years ago, leaving only ruins for people to mourn.

In addition, there are cross-sea bridges that have long since sunk to the bottom of the sea, railway networks that run through the entire continent like blood vessels, and rail transit systems buried deep underground...

Each of these magnificent projects, which can be described as miracles, is a monument built by ordinary people who have never cultivated themselves, relying on their own hands and wisdom.

"The power of mortals... it turns out it can be so immense." Luo Qiuyue stared at the screen, unable to help but sigh softly.

Qin Le's words of advice have made her realize that when she looks at these massive projects now, she can't help but put herself in the shoes of an ordinary person and ask herself if she could do it.

The answer was clear and cold—she couldn't do it.

Such a feat could never have been accomplished by one person alone. But when a group of people work together with one mind and one purpose, they turn the impossible into possible.

"How could you be interested in such things?" A cold voice rang out from the side.

Luo Qiuyue looked up and saw Lu Qingshuang looking at the screen in front of her with a slightly puzzled expression.

"I want to understand what humanitarianism is," Luo Qiuyue replied with a smile.

"Humanitarianism?" Lu Qingshuang's eyes were still filled with doubt.

"Yes." Luo Qiuyue nodded, her tone serious: "This is one of the keys to mastering the art of war."

Upon hearing this, Lu Qingshuang seemed to be deep in thought, and then sat down in the empty seat next to her: "Then I'll take a look too."

"OK."

Luo Qiuyue moved the laptop slightly closer so that both of them could browse comfortably.

"Qing Shuang," Luo Qiuyue pointed to the old image of the magnificent cross-sea bridge on the screen and asked, "If you were a mortal, could you build a bridge like this?"

Lu Qingshuang shook her head, answering without the slightest hesitation: "No."

"I can't either." Luo Qiuyue smiled, but a thoughtful look flashed in her eyes.

The two sat side by side, sometimes exchanging a few words in hushed tones, sometimes silently browsing the creations of a distant era.

Besides the awe-inspiring large-scale engineering projects, they were also amazed by the ingenious and sophisticated inventions—many of which, despite the passage of centuries, still retain their brilliance.

Just as Luo Qiuyue and Lu Qingshuang were immersed in the old papers and the light and shadow records, Qin Le had already come to the dean's office again.

"Do the demon students need assistance again?"

Upon seeing Qin Le return, Shen Qingyan looked up from her documents and asked directly.

"No, it's all taken care of." Qin Le sat down opposite her, looking relaxed.

"Oh?" Shen Qingyan put down her pen and looked at him. "Is there something else?"

"Yes." Qin Le nodded and got straight to the point: "I want to apply to the Alliance for a batch of Chaos Beasts at the Earth Immortal level."

Shen Qingyan raised an eyebrow slightly: "Reason?"

"Promote exchanges between the two ethnic groups and get to know each other in advance." Qin Le said calmly.

"Tell me more about it." Shen Qingyan leaned forward slightly, showing interest.

The alliance is also paying attention to this matter. Those arrogant demon students hardly interact with any other humans except for revolving around Qin Le, which is indeed a headache.

"Back in the Heavenly Realm, the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden taught Luo Qiuyue and me the art of warfare," Qin Le explained. "I was thinking, why not let them familiarize themselves with the Heavenly Realm's combat methods beforehand? To work together effectively, they need suitable 'opponents'."

Using Chaos Beasts as sparring partners is undoubtedly the best choice.

We can't use our own people as targets.

Upon hearing this, a faint, yet genuine smile appeared on Shen Qingyan's usually expressionless, delicate face.

"Okay. That's a good idea. I'll submit the application to the league later."

She didn't ask Qin Le whether he had mastered the profound art of war—such a question was unnecessary for Qin Le.

"I'll leave the specifics of how to schedule and arrange things to you." Qin Le smiled and stood up, looking like he was about to wash his hands of the matter: "I won't get involved in this kind of brain-intensive organization and planning."

"Don't worry." Shen Qingyan smiled, her eyes filled with understanding. "These trivial matters are none of your concern."

This is not a special favor to Qin Le.

Rather, if he truly wants to be deeply involved in these scheduling and coordination efforts, he must first acquire a great deal of knowledge in administration and logistics, as well as an understanding of various resources.

By the time he masters these things, everything here might already be resolved.

If you don't understand something but insist on interfering, you may only create more chaos and do more harm than good.

Qin Le waved his hand dismissively and turned to leave the office.
