Gods Vanish on a Cloudy Day
Chapter 3 Believe It or Not (Large Chapter with Ten Thousand Words)
Data Space.
Because the Zhengguo's Sages are supervised and originated from the union of hundreds of schools hundreds of years ago, most of the Zhengguo's Sage Seats, that is, the heads and chiefs of the ancient major sects, do not deliberately gather in Tiandu, but instead guard the ancestral lands of various academies.
Those who truly handle government affairs in Tiandu are only the bureaucratic civil servant system, the Wen Sheng (Sage of Literature) and Li Sheng (Sage of Rites) lineage, strong individuals like Su Zhou who are semi-independent and without factions, and that group of cultivators who can cultivate with the help of humanity's wish power.
Needless to say, Su Zhou only occasionally returns to Tiandu to hold internal meetings of the Security Bureau. Dao Sheng (Sage of Dao) and Li Sheng are stationed in Hongzhou and the Northwest region, respectively, and will not leave unless it is a critical moment. As for Nong Sheng (Sage of Agriculture), who runs around the country supervising the spiritual ecologicalization of various states, it is even more impossible for him to return to Tiandu specifically for a meeting.
Therefore, illusionary meetings conducted via electronic networks are one of the most formal meeting methods among the Sage Seats, possessing authority and legal effect.
At this time, Su Zhou had already logged out of the illusionary space, and he was returning to the real world through layers of network encryption.
He knew very well that the big news he had just revealed would shake the upper echelons of Zhengguo for a long time, and would definitely cause huge adjustments to related industries and strategic development goals, and might even lead to serious losses in some industries… these were all losses he had caused.
Su Zhou was willing to bear these mistakes, and he would also take care of those industries that would suffer losses in the future, helping them to change careers, but he would never stop his pace.
After all, without adjustment, how could he reach the new era faster?
And how could humanity cope with even greater challenges in the future?
The Earth's human civilization has the inheritance of immortals and gods, but it has also experienced the technological development of the spiritless era. They know the path of immortals and gods, and the correctness of individual martial power in the transcendent aspect, but they also understand that technology and collective power can also bring happiness to all mankind.
These are two truths.
Today's Earth civilization definitely has many problems. Although the contradictions are not as obvious as those in the Reincarnation World, it is precisely because of this that it is very difficult to change. If they want to truly integrate these two truths together, Earth civilization needs a thorough reform, otherwise it will never be possible to combine the advantages of the transcendent and technology, and become a true, brand-new, advanced civilization.
However, social order is something that no one will easily break as long as it can still be used, even if it is progress, because it involves the interests of too many vested interests of the old era—just like the oil industry suppressed new energy systems in the past.
Unless someone gives a reason why they have to reform.
Su Zhou had just given such a reason.
"The destruction of the world, although this reason is a bit too big, it is at least very sufficient."
At this moment, Su Zhou felt quite happy in his heart.
This time, revealing the secrets hidden in his heart for a long time, and telling most of the world's truth to the Earth civilization, made the young man feel extremely comfortable.
How should I put it, although it is indeed very cool to save the world secretly.
But isn't it even cooler to save the world openly?
Moreover, it is definitely not a bad thing for all mankind to prepare for the future together.
At this moment, just as Su Zhou was about to completely log out of the network space, a pop-up window appeared beside him, prompting that someone was applying to have a private conversation with him.
"Who is it…"
After thinking for a while, the young man reached out and chose to agree.
Then, surrounded by a burst of electronic information flow, Su Zhou came to a private illusionary chat room with an extremely high level of confidentiality.
And waiting for him here were Wen Sheng and Dao Sheng, the two Sage Seats with serious expressions.
"Two seniors, is there anything you need me for?"
Without exchanging pleasantries, Su Zhou waved to the other party with a smile, and said straightforwardly: "I've already said almost everything I know. There's no more information to talk about in private."
"No, we're not here to talk about this."
Wen Sheng's expression at this time was actually quite strange. It could be seen that he seemed to want to sigh, but also seemed to want to laugh a little.
He shook his head and said solemnly: "This time, Dao Sheng and I came together to grant you permission to enter the 'Chuandao Pagoda' (Inheritance Tower) and related secret realms."
"Chuandao Pagoda?" Hearing this name, Su Zhou couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, and became a little curious: "I seem to have heard of it… Shouldn't it be the Zhengguo's core of inheritance, which is under your charge, Wen Sheng?"
"The inheritance of the Tianchi Dragon King that I recovered from the seabed last time was also transferred there."
"That's right, it's the Chuandao Pagoda that carries all the inheritances of Zhengguo, from the lowest-level spirit summoning and ghost control techniques, all the way up to the inheritance of immortals and gods, all-inclusive. It can't be said that I'm in charge of it. If I had to say, I'm just a librarian."
Unlike Dao Sheng, whose white hair had turned black, Wen Sheng's cultivation level was still ordinary, only around the high-level of the Transcendent, and only a little of his white hair had turned black, which was not in line with his position.
And this Sage Seat, who had too much of his mind occupied by government affairs, sighed at this time: "This matter should have been told to you earlier—the original plan was to wait until you had completed the Qingqiu Star mission, and then take you there once to fully prepare you for advancing to the Earth Immortal realm in the future, and accumulate background."
"Who would have thought… that your background would be so profound that you would directly break through to the Earth Immortal realm yourself, turning all our plans into useless work."
To this, Su Zhou could only blink his eyes, with a rather innocent look on his face.
——Is this my fault?
Wen Sheng and others did indeed have good intentions, but various accidents made those good intentions a little awkward.
The Chuandao Pagoda is the gathering place of Zhengguo's inheritance. In addition to the Immortal and God cultivation methods, there are also many inheritance notes similar to cultivation insights and experiences. Su Zhou understood the thinking of the Zhengguo high-level at that time. They felt that after he was recognized by the Chixiao Sword, he was completely one of their own. And after completing the Qingqiu Star mission, he had made great contributions. It was justified to go to the Chuandao Pagoda at that time, and he could use the various cultivation experiences inside to lay a solid foundation for his advancement to the Overlord realm.
Who knew that Su Zhou's own accumulation was so profound. After going to Qingqiu Star, he directly became an Earth Immortal Overlord, completely disrupting all their plans.
In this way, although there were indeed relevant inheritances and notes on the path to the Heavenly Immortal, how self-reliant is the advancement to Heavenly Immortal? It cannot be used as a serious reference at all, at most it has a little bit of reference value, but even this point, for Su Zhou, who has the inheritance of an ancient venerable, the significance of the Chuandao Pagoda is not so great.
"I must remind you."
At this time, Dao Sheng took over the conversation.
This Sage Seat looked at Su Zhou with a rather emotional expression, his eyes complicated: "Holding the right to freely enter and exit the Chuandao Pagoda, in a sense… this can also be regarded as the prelude to becoming a Sage Seat."
"Only Sage Seats and Sage Seat reserves, as well as the Zhenguo Shi (National Guardian Envoy), have the authority to freely enter and exit this place of inheritance. Su Zhou, you have already accepted the appraisal of the Luori Bow (Sunset Bow) and the Chixiao Sword. Next, if you pass the appraisal of the Ganshan Whip (Mountain-Driving Whip), then you will basically meet all the conditions to become a Sage Seat."
Saying so, Dao Sheng ignored Su Zhou's rather surprised expression, he shook his head slightly, and sighed: "Just right, next time, the holder of this generation's Ganshan Whip will also go to the Chuandao Pagoda to receive further inheritance. At that time, you can test it along the way."
"Perhaps you may not need it, but it's better to go than not to go."
"It is definitely needed."
After listening to this, Su Zhou's expression was serious, but also with a hint of excitement.
Chuandao Pagoda, the place of inheritance that has all the immortal and god inheritances of Zhengguo.
How could such a place be useless?
Even if he were to open his own path and create his own path… no, precisely because he walks his own path, he needs the cultivation experience of others even more to serve as an auxiliary cornerstone and calibrate the direction!
Moreover… Sage Seat?
As expected of me!
Although Su Zhou doesn't care about rights and fame, if he can become a Sage Seat, then why not?
In the end, Wen Sheng and Dao Sheng cancelled the private chat room, and the three said goodbye to each other.
However, just as Su Zhou turned around to leave and was preparing to leave the illusionary realm again to go to the real world, he heard a voice coming from behind him.
"Su Zhou."
That was the voice of Dao Sheng.
This Sage Seat, who had always been very optimistic about Su Zhou and had smoothed out many early troubles for him, couldn't help but sigh with worry: "You still… have to pay attention to your safety."
And Wen Sheng on the side was also stroking his beard, his eyes complicated.
No one is foolish.
This time, Su Zhou came over and directly revealed the big news that 'the world is about to be destroyed'. Although it seemed very illusory and unreal, without any prelude or foreshadowing… if Su Zhou didn't really have relevant evidence, how could he say that?
And in order to obtain relevant evidence of this kind of thing, how many extremely dangerous adventures and hardships did Su Zhou experience in the different world he mentioned?
No gain comes from the sky.
Even with Su Zhou's talent, being able to achieve today's results must have been through a series of arduous battles, diligent cultivation, and resolute reflection and progress. Otherwise, he would never have been able to obtain the proficient combat skills he is now displaying, as well as the terrifying aura that can suppress all living beings alone, like an old-fashioned immortal god.
That is the majesty that can only be obtained in true slaughter, from blood and fire.
Dao Sheng knew very well that they couldn't help Su Zhou, and Su Zhou might not need their help either.
Therefore, they could only do what they were doing now, opening the authority of the Chuandao Pagoda for him and providing more side assistance.
That's all.
"Thank you for your concern, this is enough."
To this, Su Zhou thanked earnestly. He didn't turn his head, just raised his hand and waved, and then disappeared into the torrent of information.
And Wen Sheng and Dao Sheng just shook their heads slightly at Su Zhou's back, without saying anything more, but the silent meaning was also very obvious, that there was no need to thank them.
Real world.
For the relevant high-level officials of Zhengguo, the night of May 14, 2018, was an unforgettable sleepless night.
The emergency orders issued by the highest level in the relevant fields and the convening of related meetings caused the local bureaucratic high-level officials and top-level managers in the industry, who had already entered a period of calm and watched the implementation of relevant policies, to all wake up from their sleep in inexplicable surprise and shock, and converge towards Tiandu at the first time.
Whether it was the Security Bureau and the Dao Discipline Bureau, which represented the management of transcendence, or the high-level officials of forestry, geology bureaus, energy and related economic and trade, which managed related resources, all were summoned by the Central Committee… and this time, the momentum was that all industries across the country, in all aspects, were named, without exception.
——What happened?
——Are we going to war with aliens?
——Is this going to be a war or…
Even the well-informed people who usually have access to the sky and can get news in advance no matter what policies are issued, are now unaware of what will happen next. They exchange information with each other, but cannot get any information, and they can't help but feel a little uneasy.
Everyone guessed confusedly, and couldn't figure out why.
After all, even if it was really going to be a war with aliens, it shouldn't be at this pace. Where would it be necessary to summon the leaders of all important industries across the country?
A drop of water has already dripped down, and the ripples are spreading in all directions.
Even if relevant news will not be made public to the public, it is imperative for Zhengguo to conduct a comprehensive strategic adjustment nationwide.
And whether the result of this adjustment is to set off an earthquake that destroys the foundation, or a storm that sweeps away all the old things, depends on the next actions of the Thirty-Six Sages Central Committee, and what the outcome of this national conference will be.
However, as the source of all this, Su Zhou's life in the past two days has been unexpectedly peaceful.
2018, May 16th, afternoon.
Hongcheng, Hongzhou.
The Su family, located in the Linjiang urban area, welcomed a common visitor.
Su Zhou's parents had already moved away from the old residence in Linjiang more than a year ago, and transferred to a more secure practitioner community, which was also closer to their new work unit.
The original old residence was left behind for Su Zhou to rest on weekdays.
Located in his own room, Su Zhou, who was thinking about future plans in front of his desk, moved his ears slightly, and from the noisy voices of the city and subtle humming, he sensed the familiar sound of a car engine thousands of meters away.
He raised his head, looked at the distance blocked by layers of cement and walls, and then showed a smile.
A few minutes later, Su Zhou took the initiative to open the door and welcome familiar guests into the house.
"Qiming, I was planning to look for you in a while. I didn't expect you to come to my door主动上门 (zhudong shangmen - take the initiative to visit)."
Undoubtedly, the visitor was Shao Qiming, Su Zhou's long-time friend.
The young man with long auburn hair and a slender but tall figure was raising his hair with a helpless expression at the moment.
Before he had time to knock on the door, the door opened automatically, making him not know what action he should take for a while.
But obviously, Su Zhou wouldn't care about this little awkwardness. He turned his head directly, walked back to his room, and said with excitement: "Come in, come in. I just have something I want to discuss with you."
“…You have something to discuss with me?”
Putting down the wooden hair that was condensed into the shape of a hand, Shao Qiming walked into the door and followed Su Zhou into the room. He shook his head slightly, and said with a rare trace of displeasure: "If you really had something to discuss with me, you should have said it when you came back two days ago—instead of waiting for me to take the initiative to come to you, and then you say this belatedly!"
The young man's tone had a hint of resentment.
And his displeasure naturally had a reason.
Some time ago, Shao Qiming successfully passed the graduation defense of the Qin Xing Academy. In addition to obtaining his degree certificate, he also obtained the inheritance of the "Fusang Shenmu" (Fusang Divine Tree) of the Zhengguo lineage.
Under the guidance of Nong Sheng and other Divine Tree cultivators, he successfully entered the door of this immortal-god-level Divine Tree inheritance, and merged it with the cultivation Dharma image he obtained from Zhou Buyi of the Divine Wood World, completely taking the last step of the high-level of the Transcendent.
Next, as long as Shao Qiming adjusted the spiritual organs in his body and found the direction of his future supernatural powers, then whether he advanced to become a genuine "Fusang Divine Tree", or integrated its advantages and became a unique new divine tree like Zhou Buyi's successor, it would be very simple.
However, yesterday, when Shao Qiming was in seclusion to cultivate, he learned from other divine tree cultivators who were cultivating together that Su Zhou, who had been missing for a month, had returned and had a top-secret meeting with the Sages.
After that, the entire Zhengguo was shocked by this.
In addition to being surprised, after learning a little about the current situation of the country, Shao Qiming immediately understood.
As the person in Zhengguo who knew Su Zhou best, and the only one who knew the true mission of Yala and Su Zhou, Shao Qiming could guess what Su Zhou had said to the Sages, which would cause the current situation.
In addition, the young man had previously stated that he wanted to tell the relevant news to the whole world, which made it unnecessary to guess.
"This guy must have told the Thirty-Six Sages that the world is about to be destroyed."
Shao Qiming wanted to contact Su Zhou as soon as possible to ask what the other party's future plans were and whether there were any follow-up plans so that he could cooperate accordingly, but who knew that he couldn't contact him at all, and the official channels also stated that Su Zhou's information was a top secret, and even if Shao Qiming was Su Zhou's friend, he couldn't reveal anything.
Reluctantly, Shao Qiming could only go to the places where Su Zhou might be, from the Security Bureau's general team office in Tiandu, all the way to the headquarters of the New World Exploration Department in Nanling, from Tang Yuan to Jin Qiong, and even asked Krosel of the Holy Serpent Lington Association. Everyone knew nothing…
As a result, who knew that Su Zhou was staying at his old house here.
Who could guess that?
"Hey, this is my fault. I originally wanted to contact you as soon as possible, but who knew that after I sat down like this, two days passed."
At this time, Su Zhou had already sat back in front of his desk, and Shao Qiming, who had almost dissipated his anger, was sitting beside Su Zhou.
He looked at the layers of plans and documents on the desk, couldn't help but frown, and said with some surprise: "Are you saying… that you prepared these things in these two days?"
"Almost. After all, I told the Central Committee the truth that the world is about to be destroyed. The global situation will definitely change greatly in the future, and we also need to make some corresponding plans."
Su Zhou nodded slightly. He handed the documents to his friend, and said calmly: "I'm not good at this. So most of them are just ideas. I still need your help to improve the specific implementation."
"This is simple—but if that's the case, then you should have told me earlier. I would have come over to help you from the beginning."
Hearing this, Shao Qiming reached out and took the plan icons in Su Zhou's hand, he sighed lightly, and complained: "I knew from the beginning that you would definitely say this one day—the last time you came back from the Tartarus world, I thought you were going to say it. And now is a good time to say it. After all, your strength can be said to be unmatched, and others can't possibly make a fuss because of your identity as the Great Existence Covenant Holder."
"But to be honest, A Zhou, in the case that other people can't use the Heavenly God Scale, what's the point of telling the truth of the multiverse to the top leaders of the world? The Earth can't help you anything at all."
Shao Qiming's doubts were also the reason why Su Zhou hesitated about whether or not to make the news public.
Indeed, Su Zhou could take people to the different world where the Great Existence is located through the Heavenly God Scale, but the number is not many, only one or two people. Unless Su Zhou's strength goes further, this little bit of people is just a drop in the bucket.
You must know that even Su Zhou himself would encounter danger in those different worlds, let alone other Earth people?
In addition, the Primordial World that Su Zhou is going to go to next is an ancient region that has not experienced the spiritual energy cut-off. In that kind of place, without reaching the Earth Immortal strength, even walking with their tails between their legs may be trampled to death by the passing immortals and gods.
Su Zhou himself planned to be cautious and take survival as the first principle. How could he bring other burdens?
But now, Su Zhou, who has re-established his supernatural core and transformed his thinking, has different ideas.
"Although the Earth can't help me directly explore and contact the Great Existence, I am not omniscient and omnipotent. In many aspects, in the fields that I am not good at, a civilization that can fully cooperate with me is definitely of great benefit."
Stretching out a finger, Su Zhou casually drew a few traces in the air. The azure ripples formed by the spiritual energy were layered on top of each other, and transformed into a simple and mysterious rune collection. A Lan (Indigo) seed was born from it, turning into a phantom of a small rocket that flew around the room.
Looking around at these rockets that drew a rune in the air, Su Zhou said calmly: "Just like the related spiritual power skills, no matter how talented I am, one person's meditation and hard work is not as good as the accumulation of billions of people in a civilization in terms of details—look at this. The skills I learned from a related wind attribute book can save me months or even years of time. Human civilization is built on the accumulation of knowledge. Why should I be a lone ranger?"
"There are also weapons—I'm not good at forging. Whether it is the Blade of Extinction or the World Tree Spear, they are all divine weapons forged by others for me. And in the future, their upgrades will definitely require masters in related fields to give me advice. Similarly, like potions, elixirs, and some exploration plans, I must admit that I am not good at these fields."
"If I get news of a related world in the future, and then give it to the national think tank for analysis, and let them formulate how to communicate with the locals and analyze their culture and thinking logic, I might be able to save a lot of time going around."
After saying so much, Su Zhou stretched out his hand and took back all the Lan seed rockets flying in the room, and then re-kneaded them into a wind spirit snake that seemed like a real living thing.
The young man raised his head, looked out the window, and said softly: "What's more, I am overwhelmed—I can go to explore different worlds, but in this case, I will not be able to grasp the trend of the 'Pioneer Space'."
"Fortunately, Jiu Ming and the others have joined the Pioneer Space. It is better to hand it over to the official, and let the official sort out all the explorers summoned by the Pioneer Space, and learn about the enemy's movements from the inside."
Hearing this, Shao Qiming's face was solemn, and he said extremely seriously: "Since A Zhou, you need help in this regard… then, do you need me to try to join the Pioneer Space?"
"This…"
The young man's tone was serious, obviously not joking. Su Zhou was slightly stunned by this. He thought of Shao Shuangyue who was really selected by the Pioneer Space, and his mood was a little complicated.
Even now, he still doesn't know whether it was right or wrong for him to refuse the Pioneer's call on behalf of Shao Shuangyue… but things have come to this, and there is nothing more to say.
Stabilizing his mind, Su Zhou turned his head, seriously looked at his friend, and shook his head gently: "You are not suitable… The Pioneer Space wants the kind of guys who want to explore the distance and the unknown from the bottom of their hearts, and what Qiming, you crave is 'to grasp everything you already have' and 'to live safely'."
"I don't know if the Divine Tree inheritance has affected you, or if you are indeed suitable for the Divine Tree lineage. In short, this is the concept of the Divine Tree lineage. It is impossible for you to join the Pioneer Space."
"Then… what can I do?"
Hearing this, Shao Qiming was obviously a little disappointed.
It was precisely because he knew better than anyone how arduous Su Zhou's struggle in the different world was that, as Su Zhou's friend, he wanted to help Su Zhou share a little responsibility more than anyone else.
However, not to mention that Su Zhou's strength is getting stronger and stronger, and trying to catch up is just a luxury. Now, even in other aspects, there are official Zhengguo, and the relevant departments of human civilization to take over.
There are fewer and fewer things he can do for Su Zhou, so that he doesn't know what to do.
"Don't worry, look at the plan in your hand. That is exactly what only you can do."
Su Zhou understood his friend's anxiety of being abandoned.
Unlike Zhou Buyi and Elias, who had cultivated for hundreds of years due to the time difference, it was almost impossible for Shao Qiming, who belonged to the same world as him, to catch up with his pace.
And even people like Zhou Buyi and Elias had the fear and anxiety of being abandoned by Su Zhou, let alone others?
"Phew…"
Hearing this, Shao Qiming took a deep breath. After all, he was a smart person. He knew very well that anxiety couldn't accomplish anything. So he suppressed the anxiety in his heart and looked seriously at the documents written by Su Zhou himself in his hand.
Then, the young man was slightly stunned.
"Six Paths Tribulation Reincarnation True Method—Summary of the Yuanjue Heavenly Human Path Cultivation?"
"Eden Pure Light—Summary of the Basic Inheritance of the Divine Tree Wisdom Tree?"
"Sacred Geometry—Complete Record of the Holy Triangle Holy Track Ritual?!"
"Zhou Liu Six Void True Method… and this Eternal Tribulation Reincarnation Secret Method… these, these things…"
Su Zhou's handwriting is not good-looking.
But with his strength, he naturally has a trace of his temperament.
At first, Shao Qiming was still thinking about what it was that would make Su Zhou, who was used to typing on mobile phones and computers, really write, but after watching for a while, he couldn't help but be shocked.
Because, all of the things recorded on these document manuscripts were parts of an immortal-god-level supernatural power and great inheritance!
Raising his head in astonishment, Shao Qiming's originally calm expression became unbelievable: "A Zhou, this is…"
"Scared? This is a reward."
Watching the surprised expression of his friend, Su Zhou showed a satisfied smile on his face sitting on the chair, he laughed and said, "A reward to bewitch some guys."
"Qiming, you also know very well, right? The Earth is a disaster area where the Great Existence has dropped its own information. Whether it is the Descent Spirit Society, the Holy Serpent Lington Association, or the 'Fated Great Demon' of Qingqiu Star, they are all proof. The Wood Centipede and the Twilight True Demon that I killed at the beginning are also the same. They are all members of the Great Existence family."
"Do you think that with the spiritual energy recovery to this point, is this planet really as peaceful as we imagined? I don't think so at all. There must already be a part of humanity, just like the original Descent Spirit Society and the Holy Serpent Lington Association, have obtained the inheritance of the Great Existence, and are now lurking."
Saying so, Su Zhou's smile gradually converged, and he looked forward with deep eyes. His eyes seemed to be able to see the shadows lurking in the crowd: "Some of them may think that they have obtained the inheritance of the remaining immortals and gods, but there must also be a part that is just hiding, waiting for the opportunity to explode."
"At that time, the world will inevitably fall into chaos and affect my family and friends."
"I, Su Zhou, have come all the way, not only for myself, but for my familiar family, friends, and this world that I love—if the Earth has a big problem when I leave the Earth and go to a different world, it will be completely contrary to my original intention."
"Therefore, I want to tell the truth to the Earth and let them be vigilant in advance. And Qiming, you don't need to worry too much. As long as you can guarantee the stability of this world, I can go far away with peace of mind."
"So, are these cultivation methods and inheritances real or fake?"
At this time, Shao Qiming has vaguely understood what Su Zhou's plan is. He frowned tightly and scanned the lines of Su Zhou's original handwriting that vaguely carried power, and could clearly sense that there was indeed some obscure and profound aura on it.
That was the aura of some Great Existence, which was the 'old' technique that Su Zhou stripped from the evil soul and then attached to it.
"Most of them are made up by me—but there is also a part of the authenticity. After all, it is made up with my level, so it must not be fake, and it can definitely be cultivated, and it is not weak."
Su Zhou was extremely confident, and he also had the confidence, after all, he had either eaten the relevant evil souls, or had relevant examples as a reference, or even simply cultivated himself.
He dared to guarantee that even if the real Great Existence family appeared, they would not be able to tell the true from the false of these inheritances containing the aura of the Great Existence for a while.
"So, how do you plan to use these inheritances to bewitch those heavenly god families lurking on Earth?"
"It's very simple, look at this."
Su Zhou handed another document to Shao Qiming, and the young man quickly browsed a few pages after receiving it.
"Global Emerging Transcendent List…"
"Global Transcendent International Actual Combat Exchange Competition…"
"Various variety show exploration programs, such as wilderness survival in different worlds, encouraging folk exploration activities in different worlds, and cultivation forums…"
After Shao Qiming roughly scanned these documents, he closed his eyes tightly and fell into contemplation: "These things…"
Su Zhou, who was sitting on the side, laughed softly: "Do you think they are all nonsense?"
"No."
Opening his eyes, Shao Qiming turned his head and looked at Su Zhou. He said thoughtfully: "I probably understand."
"If it is really a family of the Pioneer, then they will either be connected to the Pioneer Space, or they will usually work in this area—if there is a variety show or competition with very generous rewards and related inheritances, such as this 'Wilderness Survival in Different Worlds' and 'Folk Exploration Activities', then the family of the Pioneer will definitely participate."
"And like the Cultivation Forum, I think, if it is Yala's family, then they will never give up the opportunity to pick on the cultivation paths of others in front of everyone in the world."
"As for things like actual combat exchange competitions, as long as there is a little motivated folk cultivator, or someone who has confidence in himself, they will try it out, right? If there is official encouragement. And at that time, A Zhou, you will definitely be able to tell whether there is a family of Great Existence among them."
Speaking of this, the young man can be regarded as understanding Su Zhou's next plan, and he sighed long, feeling a little incredible: "You want to screen out these families? With these various activities, and these 'bait' of cultivation rewards?"
"That's right."
Su Zhou nodded slightly. He said lightly: "The related cultivation methods of the immortal god level are enough to be used as bait—although it is impossible to catch them all, I can definitely find a few. If I can find one, with the power I recently obtained, I can catch a nest along the way."
"And, in addition to that, don't you think that the current cultivation world of the Earth is simply a pool of stagnant water? Although the country has mobilized the enthusiasm of cultivators, various encouragement measures that can really make the whole people's cultivation exude vitality are definitely more than just 'full of food and drink'!"
For the spiritual energy recovery, the basic policy of the Zhengguo is to increase the planting of spiritual energy crops, and vigorously develop the Beast God Realm, and expand the reserve of spiritual food.
But these are obviously just the basics.
"A sense of accomplishment, the desire for self-realization, mobilizing people's inner desire for struggle, and mobilizing the greed in people's hearts that can reach the sky in one step… the driving force for innovation lies in these seemingly vulgar desires."
Saying so, Su Zhou slowly stood up, and he came to the window of his room and looked down at the outside.
At this moment, it was the afternoon in Hongcheng. The setting sun was gradually setting, the lights of the vehicles in the city were coming and going, and the flow of people returning home from get off work was bustling. In addition to the peace, it also revealed a sense of twilight that was the same day after day.
It has been four years since the spiritual energy recovered.
The initial excitement has gradually faded away. Under the strong control of the official, the entire Zhengguo society has smoothly transitioned from a society without spiritual energy to a super-normal society where almost everyone is cultivating.
Although it seems successful, the hidden cost is very huge.
Now, even though there are new intelligent AI cars, and cultivators with flight permits are flying high in the sky above the buildings, most of the pedestrians in the past also have cultivation bases, and everyone is full of energy and extremely healthy, the atmosphere of the whole society is still the same as usual.
Everyone leads an ordinary life, and has an ordinary job. Although the use of extraordinary power is indeed convenient in some times, the quality of life of everyone has improved… but that is all.
Is this a good thing?
Naturally, it is a good thing.
A peaceful life is what most people crave. The so-called lively world means that many people can't live in peace.
Isn't it progress to be able to live better than before?
Even Su Zhou had to admit that this was progress.
However, he also knew deeply… that a world that is too static would make everything rot with the passage of time, turning the so-called peace into stagnant water where there is no strength to struggle.
The current peace is just that those extremely talented cultivators have not emerged from the crowd. When those advanced monks who can really use their own strength to fight against the army and tens of thousands of low-level cultivators appear, the order will be broken.
At that time, will the people who are used to ordinary life still have the strength to resist?
Therefore, the problem must be solved before the problem appears.
"Instead of letting them accumulate strength in secret, it is better to give them a stage."
Under the gaze of Shao Qiming who also stood up slowly, Su Zhou stared at the outside of the window, and he said in a deep voice: "It has been four years since the spiritual energy recovered.
