Amidst the rubble of what was called Divine Capital, perhaps the greatest revolution in the history of Shenzhou began in front of a Primordial Spirit Stage cultivator, a Golden Core stage cultivator, and three Foundation Establishnt cultivators.
Nine teams divided into more than eighty batches ca through the space warp caused by Feng Luoyi to this city destroyed by the Heavenly Sword. Then, hundreds of people dispersed in batches to survey the entire ruins, hoping to find one or two suitable places for residence. Among them, so went to talk to the cultivators who were already in Divine Capital. A part of these Modern Cultivators stationed in Divine Capital would be sent away. Those who volunteered to stay would all beco a part of this new empirical venture.
Hundreds of cultivators scattered like dandelion seeds into every corner of Divine Capital. The cultivators from Mountain River City were the first to perform spells and build temporary housing. These accommodations, resembling tal shanties, would provide shelters for all mortals in the next few days. And within just a few days, the city reconstruction plan would be completed, then the first batch of permanent residences would rise within half a day.
On a technological level, Earth could not compete with Shenzhou.
Observing the temporary residences sprawling across Divine Capital like mold colonies, Feng Luoyi nodded and then approached Wang Qi, "You four seem to have sothing to say to ."
For so reason, Chen Feng and Ai Qinglan regarded Feng Luoyi with a look of disbelief and indignation. In contrast, Wang Qi gave Feng Luoyi a thumbs-up, "Teacher, this move is truly brilliant!"
"It's nothing, just that I had more contingency plans, that's all," Feng Luoyi said, looking at Wang Qi. "What do you think?"
"Was this sche planned when I ca to Divine Capital?" Wang Qi asked, "The 'future' is filled with too many variables, how did you calculate this step?"
Feng Luoyi shook his head, "I'm no soothsayer. The best strategy is simply a set of adaptable and changing plans."
Wang Qi frowned, "I thought you blocked so of my achievents and published so of my papers under 'Anon' for this very reason."
"Everyone in Shenzhou knows you are suspected of being a Banished Immortal, so you would gain their trust more than anyone," Feng Luoyi's hand rested on Wang Qi's shoulder. "And these Banished Immortals will likewise clear your charges."
"I understand now. If I had shown my 'Immortal Innate Wisdom' under Zhao Qingfeng, then you would have let die under the Heavenly Sword." Wang Qi frowned. "What about Divine Capital then? Those Ancient Cultivators being raised like pigs?"
"Five hundred years ago, the Immortal Alliance was set to eradicate them completely. This place is not a pigsty but rather a trap."
Wang Qi nodded, "Now I understand completely. The Immortal Alliance eradicated the Ancient Cultivators of Divine Capital, exterminated the Banished Immortals, and then obtained a better thod to identify the Banished Immortals. Finally, Zhao Qingfeng spread the Heart Demon Curse, resulting in the Immortal Alliance 'reluctantly' implenting the Human Dao Law."
Ai Qinglan looked straight at Feng Luoyi, "So, we were just being toyed with by you?"
Chen Feng muttered softly, "This way of handling things is sowhat..."
Wang Qi, however, stopped the two, saying, "Think about it carefully, in the end, it's 'us' who benefit, right? I've cleared my charges. Then all of us have gained access to nurous Law Gates—these Law Gates are either imnsely lethal or useful in future empirical evidence and cultivation. Most importantly..." Wang Qi gestured at the distant crowd, "Our initial concept has truly been realized! This is the reform of Human Dao!"
"Power of Human Dao..." Chen Feng's expression was complex, "I never thought it would be realized in this form..."
"Since the perpetrator spreading the Heart Demon Curse is dead, and those mortals have now gained mana," Wang Qi's face showed faint excitent, "and those mortals will soon also enjoy the fruits of Immortal Dao Civilization."
Chen Youjia whispered, "But..."
"Although there are so risks, this is overall the best strategy for us," Wang Qi responded.
Feng Luoyi smiled, "You see it very clearly."
"However, Teacher Feng, I still have so questions."
Feng Luoyi looked into Wang Qi's eyes. After a few seconds, he smiled, "You are too curious, my boy. Since you're so deeply involved in this... There's still so follow-up matters here, if you're willing to do them, you can find out so necessary information for the tasks from ."
Chen Youjia tensed up, grabbing Wang Qi's arm, "This matter..."
"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing," Wang Qi nodded slightly, then turned to Feng Luoyi, "If it involves this matter, I will continue to work on it."
"Very well," Feng Luoyi then looked at Chen Feng and the others, "Do you trust Wang Qi?"
The three nodded, confused about what Feng Luoyi ant.
"I will tell him the truth of the matter, and he will relay it to you as he sees fit," Feng Luoyi touched Wang Qi's head, pulling him instantly into the Ten Thousand Immortals Illusion Realm.
In an endless study, Wang Qi and Feng Luoyi sat face-to-face. But differently, this ti the "wallpaper" above was a starry sky.
"Ask your questions. I will answer as appropriate."
Wang Qi posed the first question, "Teacher Feng, are Banished Immortals truly exiled by Immortals?"
"Yes, a 'Banished Immortal' is an immortal who has fallen," confird Wang Qi.
"But those immortals, they are not from our domain of heaven and earth, right?"
Sulfur-Based Beastn, Amino Jellyfish, Sea-Dwelling Fishn... What the hell is all this! It's completely off track from what I expected!
Feng Luoyi nodded, "Indeed, they are not."
"Then how did they co here? How did they traverse the cosmos? How powerful were they before they fell?"
Feng Luoyi shook his head, "These are all secrets."
Wang Qi seed very confused, "Teacher, I don't understand; why keep it a secret? And earlier, the Heavenly Sword, that ca from beyond the layer of the Nine Heavens Gang Wind, right? Since the Immortal Alliance clearly has the power to make arrangents in the cosmos, why keep it a secret?"
"Our Human Clan civilization bears traces of being processed by external clans. There are many strange cultural phenona that are impossible to trace back to any coherent origins—it seems they didn't occur naturally. It's as though they appeared at the sa ti."
Wang Qi was shocked, "Immortal transmission?"
Feng Luoyi nodded, "After the transmission by immortals, so aspects have beco the foundation of Human Clan civilization, a part of Human Dao. However, so truths could destroy these 'foundations.' Until the Immortal Alliance completes its transformation of Human Dao, these things absolutely must not be revealed."
"Are all immortals ill-intentioned?" Wang Qi pondered, "Since the foundation of Human Dao was during the ti of Immortal transmission, I think if the immortal transmitting was ill-intentioned, he could have directly planted so malevolent seeds in our beliefs. But after the Immortal transmission, there was also the prosperity of the philosophers in the Middle Ages..."
"That's an excellent question, touching upon the core," Feng Luoyi nodded, "What do you think about the Divine Capital Family?"
Without any hesitation, Wang Qi replied, "A bunch of useless people."
"That's not quite right to say. The Heavenly Thunder True Monarch from Thunder Pavilion also cos from such a family, and you have seen Modern Cultivators who ca out of Divine Capital."
Recalling his previous conflicts with Ran Yingwei from Mysterious Palace and thinking of the Divine Capital lady who broke off an engagent with a young man from the Du Family, Wang Qi mused, "Perhaps a few of them may turn out to be ambitious individuals, but as a whole, they have already beco like rotten wood... Ah!"
"Among the immortals, there may be compassionate ones. However, as a 'class,' they must be eliminated."
Wang Qi gave Feng Luoyi a puzzled look. Feng Luoyi asked, "What is it?"
"No, I just didn't expect 'class struggle' to co up in this conversation."
"'Class struggle'...that is a very interesting concept." Feng Luoyi nodded, "I ca across this concept in your theories on Human Dao, is there an issue?"
Wang Qi shook his head, "No. But, I just can't understand, shouldn't immortals be... the ultimate goal?"
"Immortals are indeed the ultimate goal. Longevity, exploring the vast cosmos... who wouldn't want that?" Feng Luoyi said, "But, what are mortals to immortals?"
After a mont of thought, Wang Qi answered, "A foundation? A reserve resource?"
"Insects."
Feng Luoyi's words were as sharp as a knife, "Cultivation is the elevation of life's levels, where billions of insects working together can't match the thought of an immortal. Cultivation is also about transcending and leading everything else. Division of labor? Social efficiency? These are concerns of basic creatures like monkeys. Forcing mortal perspectives onto immortals is incorrect."
Wang Qi, taken aback, said, "Teacher Feng, this..."
"You once discussed the duality of immortals and mortals—the 'productive forces' of mortals are useless to cultivators, bringing them no benefits. The cultivators protect mortals only in the hopes that more cultivators will erge from them, serving their own paths to enlightennt. Self-sufficient sects aren't much different from tribes; each sect has all the techniques from cultivation to alchemy, artifact refining, and array setting, so their existence does not much matter."
"Have you thought about what it would be like if this relationship were taken to the extre?"
"Even more extre? Would that be the immortals?" Wang Qi finally grasped the thread of the conversation, "If taken further... to immortals, cultivators are also mundane. If an immortal were to erge from this domain..."
"This place would then be composed of one immortal and billions of mortals," Feng Luoyi explained calmly, "We 'mortals,' even though we have different levels of cultivation, when combined might still be no match for that immortal. That one immortal would essentially own everything in this domain."
"He has already transcended; he doesn't need us mortals for anything. Rather, we mortals belong to him. He can take anything from the mortals based on his powerful cultivation. If he wants vitality, he refines mortals; if he wants resentnt, he tornts mortals; if he wants Spiritual Energy, a deep breath suffices—even if it would cause vast regions to wither due to the exhaustion of Spiritual Energy."
"Unlike those mortals without mana. He doesn't need companions; he can do anything on his own. Unlike us cultivators, he lives long enough and wouldn't die easily. If this planet is ruined, he can simply move to another. The cosmos is vast, forever offering places to explore. Since he has already achieved longevity, the fundantal instinct of life—continuation—has been fulfilled. His own kind has no aning to him unless he genuinely wants to try; otherwise, they wouldn't think of reproducing. He doesn't even need tribal civilizations; he is a solitary creature."
Wang Qi shivered slightly. He felt as if he had glimpsed the ultimate picture of the universe.
It was decreed by physical laws, the Eternal Class. (To be continued. If you like this story, please visit qidian to vote for it and buy a monthly ticket; your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users should visit m.qidian to continue reading.)
