October 9th, 364 of the New Era.
More than three hundred years after the Dao Ancestor's ascension, the mortal realm, with the permission of the Dao Ancestor's descendants, officially began broadcasting the documentary that had been released only partially before, with the latter half never shown to the public.
That part of the documentary.
It was the reason for the Dao Ancestor's hidden contributions and why her descendants had enjoyed such profound national favor over the years.
As the documentary aired,
Discussions about the Dao Ancestor rapidly escalated.
[So, the Dao Ancestor's greatest contribution wasn't actually lecturing and making it possible for everyone to understand the fundamentals of cultivation deeply and clearly, creating cultivation methods that suited them, but was being the primary contributor to the dawn of the Great Cosmic Navigation Era. Mind blown, my worldview has been overturned!]
[Suddenly, the world feels a bit magical!]
[So, the Dao Ancestor herself was the world's first being to travel the universe without the aid of any technological equipment. Damn, now I'm starting to doubt where her so-called tribulation ascension actually led her to?]
[Honestly, as a postgraduate supervisor for artifact refining, I always believed that the Sun True Fire artifact refining workshops, opened at low prices globally, were able to continuously provide Sun True Fire for refining high-level magic artifacts and even treasures due to national subsidies and immortal artifacts.
I never expected that not only were the subsidies provided by the Dao Ancestor,
But even the so-called immortal artifacts were provided by the Dao Ancestor.
It's truly hard to imagine how powerful the Dao Ancestor was back then, to be able to directly travel to the universe and refine a star into the Sun Golden Bead, which not only continuously supplied Sun True Fire to the artifact refining workshops but also provided over eighty to ninety percent of global energy.
No wonder her descendants have always enjoyed good treatment. Leaving aside her other contributions, the Sun Golden Bead alone, if the Dao Ancestor had donated it to the state instead of keeping it for her descendants, would have been enough to make her descendants incredibly wealthy.]
[I remember a long time ago, people had always speculated that the Dao Ancestor might have been an ancient great deity in her past life. Back then, I was a bit dismissive, thinking it impossible, but now I'm starting to doubt myself because the documentary shows that the Dao Ancestor indeed possessed the ability to grasp stars and pluck the moon!]
[No, isn't the most outrageous part that the Dao Ancestor provided the initial mecha schematic and the theoretical foundation for spatial wormholes? Neither of these things seems related to cultivation at all. What kind of cheat is this?]
[I hope everyone remembers that ordinary people cannot imagine the world of geniuses, let alone the world of the Dao Ancestor. A being who might have lived for countless years in ancient times, anything she knows is not surprising.
All cultivators who reach the Nascent Soul realm already possess the ability to teleport over small areas on a planet's surface. Doesn't this involve spatial knowledge? It's just that most Nascent Soul cultivators can only use this ability and cannot translate it into theory or express it.
As for the Dao Ancestor who could soar through the universe,
Translating her mastered abilities into theoretical descriptions seems very reasonable, extremely and very reasonable.
As for the mecha schematic, this thing is, after all, a machine, and it must be related to artifact refining. If the Dao Ancestor could easily handle stars and refine them into the immortal artifact Sun Golden Bead, then creating a mecha schematic is child's play!]
[I also think some people are making too much of a fuss. If this is strange, then that is also not right. Two hundred years ago, the top sect of the old era, Kunlun Tianzong, didn't they contribute their sect's Sky Boat?
That thing could rival a small spaceship.
It was enough to easily traverse this star system.
Keep in mind, that Sky Boat was refined by nine Loose Immortals of Kunlun Tianzong over a hundred thousand years ago.
Don't always think that cultivation and technology are unrelated. When both civilizations develop to the extreme, they can both fly and burrow, involving laws. As the saying goes, mastery in one leads to mastery in all. Whether on the path of technology or the path of cultivation, reaching the extreme and then delving into or learning the other path should be very easy. Therefore, it's perfectly normal for the Dao Ancestor to know some technology.]
[No matter how I look at the documentary, I still feel that the Dao Ancestor is simply a bug. In cultivation, she swept through everything, suppressing demons and monsters from all directions. In science, she initiated the new era of great cosmic navigation. Other people who awakened their past lives' memories couldn't even compare to her.
I suspect her past life was on the level of the Three Pure Ones.]
[No, after watching this documentary, I'm starting to doubt what tribulation transcendence to immortality is all about, and what realm the Dao Ancestor was in when she ascended.
The tribulation transcendence of the Loose Immortal Void Yang Heavenly Lord was broadcast globally. Although the power of that Loose Immortal tribulation was terrifying, it was far from planet-destroying, let alone causing any damage or impact to a star. Even so, Void Yang Heavenly Lord's tribulation was very difficult, and he almost died. Moreover, he said his cultivation at the time could already compare to an ordinary immortal.
The heavenly tribulation powers during the later tribulation transcendences of cultivators from other sects could generally prove his words.
But the abilities of these individuals, compared to the Dao Ancestor in the documentary who easily traversed galaxies, roamed within blue stars, and casually absorbed their terrifying energy.
Even easily handling stars below the yellow dwarf class and refining them into the Sun Golden Bead.
They are incredibly weak in comparison.
The gap is comparable to the difference between Qi Refining and Tribulation Transcendence.
This shows that the Dao Ancestor's identity is indeed extraordinary. The difference between her and those Tribulation Transcendence realm cultivators and Loose Immortals is not just a matter of cultivation level, but likely a fundamental difference. So, is it possible that the Dao Ancestor was simply an immortal descending to the mortal world to play around?
I think only this explanation.
Can make everything unreasonable make sense!
She herself is a higher-level, higher-dimensional being. After descending to the mortal world, she could easily handle all lower-level beings and lower-dimensional objects, which is quite reasonable.]
[The speculation above is perhaps a bit too wild.
Then I'll say the Dao Ancestor might have been a life form from a high-level civilization, or a top-tier technological civilization, that accidentally fell to our planet. All her abilities were expressed through technological means. After all, theoretically speaking, when technology develops to its extreme, creation itself is not difficult.
This guess can also perfectly explain why the Dao Ancestor could produce so much knowledge and theory related to technology!]
[Watching a documentary is actually leading to a bunch of conspiracy theories. If you keep imagining, will you start saying the Dao Ancestor is an alien?
Or a demon spy...]
[As far as I know, the content recorded in the documentary is not comprehensive, because the Dao Ancestor also left a lot, a lot, a lot of good things for her descendants, including but not limited to the cores of planets, Sun Golden Crystals, and it's rumored that even star charts for habitable planets and mineral planets.
Otherwise, why would the Dao Ancestor's descendants be able to so easily discover so many high-quality mineral planets?
And donate most of them to the country without hesitation.
It's likely the Dao Ancestor had already scouted the path for them.]
[Already envious to tears!]
[Looking at it this way, the Dao Ancestor probably did leave a lot of good things for her descendants. It's fortunate that her descendants are still striving, with many cultivators reaching the Body Integration realm now, otherwise, they would have likely been robbed long ago.]
[Now, all I want to ask is, what other surprises does the Dao Ancestor have that we don't know about!]
