novelxo Chapter 919 Unfairness
The representatives could no longer contain their excitement, greed, and desire. Previously, they thought the Heavenly Emperor wanted to elevate the life of mortals simply for a few merits and luck. But now they knew there were tangible benefits.
The path of Immortal Venerable and Dao Ancestor has always been controlled by Great Emperors, a right directly handed to them by Heaven and Earth. A few people knew such a thing was not absolute in the upper dimension, but that did not matter since they were not there.
But now, people have another method to access these two paths. The Emperors' monopoly was basically over. Although they knew the Grand Dao Source Seeds and Immortal Mansions created by Heavenly Dao would not be as unique and special as the ones created by Great Emperors, it was still better than nothing.
The most excited of these groups were the non-Emperor Lineages. With this Merit Point System, they might have a chance to become Immortal and Dao Lineages relying on their own effort—however, the eyes of these people soon dim as they see the price of these two things.
They were not the only ones. The Emperor Lineages soon had a similar response. Based on the prices, only the Dao Opening Sect could buy the things on the list. Even the Great Jin Dynasty could not buy an Immortal Mansion.
People soon focused on other items on the list, and despite only having a few things, everything was expensive. The only thing most people could buy was Epiphany Time. As the name suggests, people can use merits to enter a state of epiphany, elevating their comprehension to a realm never possible.
Alas, the Epiphany Time is divided into Mortal and Immortal Grade, and these factions can only buy the Mortal Grade. Furthermore, there is a warning in the list that the Immortal Grade can only help people cultivate 40% Grand Dao Source before becoming useless.
Two more items on the list caught people's attention: Power Veins PIlls and Pure Soul Power. The effects of these items are indeed valuable. The Power Veins Pills can drastically increase the flesh body's strength. There is a notice that a hundred of these pills are enough to cultivate an Insurgent with a fleshly body that can fight Third Class Emperors.
However, after seeing the price, most people shake their heads and focus on the Pure Soul Power. Soul or Spiritual Power has always been vital–especially in the Immortal Realm.
For a cultivator to become an Empyrean, Dao Ruler, or Immortal Sovereign, their soul power must reach a certain threshold. Sadly, that threshold is so high, preventing countless people from reaching it.
'The Pure Soul Power is something people on our level desperately need,' thought Ao Shen, who knew the importance of soul power. 'Furthermore, the Power Vein Pill and Soul Power are the perfect combination to cultivate Immortal Sovereigns.'
A powerful flesh makes it easier and faster to gather Immortal Qi. Meanwhile, the soul is required to reach Tier 11 and control the Immortal Qi in the mansion.
'Everyone will want these items,' analyzed Huo Fenghuang. 'However, they are limited.'
She gazed at the notice that these two things were not as easily available as the other things on the list.
"As you can see, people can also place their things on the list for others to buy," explained Wang Wei. "If things proceed smoothly, the list can become a way to exchange high-level resources without any fear of fraud or contradictions."
The Heavenly Emperor was correct. If Heavenly Dao could act as a medium for transactions, many people's fears of being cheated or reneging on deals would be removed, allowing for fair trade. They could see the advantage of such a simple system.
With fair trade, cultivators will become more open and exchange the needed resources, leading to another boom in the cultivation world. Such a boom will directly boost the Heavenly Emperor Era, making it more flourishing.
'It will also make the era more competitive,' analyzed Feng Heng, who predicted how difficult it would be for Heaven Chosen to prove the Dao in the future. The threshold for Heaven Chosen will reach a new height, and only the best of the best can be the final winner and seat on the throne.
'And this is just the beginning of the era,' continued the wise monk. 'Normally, Heavenly Dao would not tolerate an Emperor to stay too long in the lower dimension; however, this may not be the case for the Heavenly Emperor.'
As long as Wang Wei continues to improve the world and his era, Heavenly Dao might give him a pass and postpone the next generation–just to ensure the world is as brilliant as ever.
After figuring out this thing, many people despaired; they all wanted this monster to leave as soon as possible, but they realized his stay might be extended.
'Such a change might be advantageous to me,' pondered Feng Heng. He wanted as much time as possible to lay the proper foundation for Buddhism before his ascension. So, if Heavenly Dao extends the Heavenly Emperor's time, it will do the same for other Emperors to balance him out.
"Does anyone have any questions?" asked Wang Wei.
"I do," said Ao Shen, who walked in the front. "Our demon race does not have much of a human population. So, how can we gather more merit points?"
After controlling the North, Ao Shen reduced the human population by migrating them to other continents–mainly to the Dao Opening Sect's territories.
"We are also in a similar situation," concurred a representative of the Sea Race. It's almost impossible for the human race to live in their territories under the sea. The small population is very small and lives in specially curated environments.
"Your situation is special," said Wang Wei. "Humans are the protagonists of the Myriad Emperor World, so they are the best and fastest way to gather merit points.
"My suggestion is to incorporate more humans into your territory. Then, use the Demon School I created to cultivate more of your kind; create a civilization that perfectly integrates humans and demons."
Ao Shen and the Sea race representatives frowned; this method was far from ideal. Cultivating more humans–even mere mortals–will only benefit the human race, not their kind. As intelligent as they were, they could deduce how much the power of humans would increase after the rise of countless mortal civilizations.
Mortals make up more than 90% of the population; hence, they are the source of talent for the cultivation world. With such a large population, countless mortals with cultivation talents are never discovered, forever remaining mortals until the end of their lives. Although these people are classified as individuals with poor luck, their talents are undeniable.
Now, things will become different. The Mortal and Cultivation World will no longer have a clear divide. As such, it will be easier to find talented mortals from now on. Additionally, if they follow the Dao Opening Sect's model, the mortals in their territory will have a higher-than-average talent for cultivation.
Martial arts provided these mortals with stronger bodies, increasing the chances their descendants could be healthier and even inherit their strong bodies. Martial Arts allowed them to passively absorb Spiritual Qi between Heaven and Earth, making their descendants have a higher affinity with Spiritual Qi. Such affinity will make developing a Leakless Body easier and walking the cultivation path.
The greatest creation of the Mortal Civilization is the Extraordinary Citizens. These people have access to their Spiritual Power, making them low-level Pill Masters, Talisman Makers, Weapons Refiners, and other professions.
In the future, their number will drastically increase, thus contributing to the prosperity of the human race's luck.
With such advantages, how could Ao Shen and the Sea Race allow humans to prosper in their area?
The worst thing is the Demon School Situation is also a pit. It does allow them to turn simple mortal animals into demons or sea races. However, the demon race is born with extraordinary bodies and supernatural abilities at the expense of their intelligence.
It's extremely arduous to raise an animal's intelligence to the level of humans and turn them into demons. Even after succeeding, their animal instincts usually make them aggressive and full of killing intent. They will need to take time and effort to remove that aggression.
As for integrating demons with humans to create a unique civilization? It's not as simple as the Heavenly Emperor said. Furthermore, even if they succeeded, a good part of their luck would go to the Dao Opening Sect for the creation of the Demon School.
No matter which angles they looked at this advice, they felt they suffered while the Heavenly Emperor benefitted without doing much.
Wang Wei looked at them and guessed why they were thinking. Although it seems unfair, that's the price these races had to pay after losing the battle to become the world's protagonist.
Furthermore, their issues involved the fundamental cores of every race. Demons are born powerful but lack in the soul or intelligence department. Meanwhile, it's the opposite for humans.
Humans have become the protagonists in multiple worlds because of their intelligence and ingenuity. It is easier for them to innovate and create ways to make the mortal or cultivated world flourish. Because of this ability, humans have become one of the most powerful races in the entire Chaos Universe.
Wang Wei looked at Feng Heng, "Buddhism is excellent at opening wisdom. You can try to incorporate demons into your human civilizations. Success will grant Buddhism great blessing."
"Amitabha," uttered Feng Heng while playing with his praying beads. Although he looked calm on the surface, he was smiling wryly internally. He could feel Ao Shen and the Sea Race's fierce gaze.
Of course, he had the same idea as soon as the Heavenly Emperor said these words. However, he did not expect the latter to use him as a pawn to motivate the demon and sea race.
In such a situation, he chose to remain quiet. Anyway, he will not give up any opportunity to help Buddhism–especially since he has his nemesis, Taoism, on the side.
Taoism is not as excellent as Buddhism in opening wisdom; its advantages lie in dealing with or suppressing demons and devils. However, they were also good in that area, just like Buddhism has its merit when dealing with and sealing evil.
As such, Feng Heng knew he had worthy competitors and would not stop because of the warnings of Ao Shen and the others.
"Where is the Great Jin Dynasty's representative?" asked Wang Wei after scheming against these people. Everyone looked around to see whether there were any secrets to this dynasty that suddenly appeared out of nowhere.contemporary romance
