Chapter 1043 Different World Situation (II)
1043 Different World Situation (II)
Xu Shi detected faint changes in these people's facial and body expressions and immediately knew why. They probably thought giving the rest of the world 20% would be a waste and should be allowed to monopolize all the Divine Positions, but they did not dare raise any objections.
"Do any of you have any questions? We have a lot of work to cover, so don't hesitate to ask anything."
The room was silent for a few seconds before Cai Renshu took a small step forward: "Your majesty, I have an inquiry."
"Go ahead."
"If I understand things clearly, the God Positions' purpose is to preserve our plane's World Source. Is that correct?"
"You're correct."
"What will happen to our world after Heavenly Dao has saved so much World Source?"
Xu Shi's eyes squinted, "Don't beat around the bush; ask what you really want to know?"
"In that case, I will be bold. What will happen to our World Source?"
"Cleaver, aren't we?" she uttered. "Some of it will remain in your world to increase resources and the overall betterment of this world. The rest will go to us." A deafening silence enveloped the room.
"I know you think it's unfair, but that's how the cultivation world has always been: the strong prey on the weak," continued Xu Shi. "Don't worry though. The Heavenly Emperor is benevolent and has prepared many benefits for you."
"Your majesty, could be specified?" asked the Medicine Saint.
"Besides the merit you'll receive for your Divine Positions, you will have access to the court for cultivation."
Xu Shi saw the confusion in their faces and explained: "Don't you feel this place is different?"
The four immediately sensed the surroundings; they were previously in a hurry and had no time or desire to scan the environment.
"The rules are complete," muttered the Moon Saintess in her icy voice. Due to her physique, she was very sensitive to the law and was the first to notice the change.
"Yes. The court's rules are from my world, meaning you can enter the Quasi-Emperor Realm in this place."
As the peak powerhouses of this world, these four individuals were unwilling not to make any progress. Sadly, only two choices remained before them: find the Myriad Emperor World, but that was like searching a needle in a haystack, or gather enough resources, destiny, and luck to confront Heavenly Dao's consciousness, pass the Dao Ancestor Will Tribulation and acquire a Grand Dao Source Seed.
The first path relied too much on luck, while the second was arduous, to say the least; the number of people who have succeeded throughout history can be counted on one hand. These people's eyes twinkled with excitement; even the Moon Saintess had difficulty keeping her icy temperament.
"This is not the end," continued Xu Shi. "After proving yourself, you can be granted permission to travel to the Myriad Emperor World. The Heavenly Emperor has reverted the environment to Innate and upgraded the Origin System. The new systems can allow you to live for over a hundred million."
These four almost salivated after hearing these words, especially the Medicine Saint. He was the oldest of the group and would soon run out of lifespan. So, if the promise of becoming a Quasi-Emperor was enough to sell his soul, traveling to the Myriad Emperor World and upgrading to this new system blew his mind. He decided to take advantage of this situation no matter what.
Cai Renshu exhaled deeply to calm down, 'I know these things are used to lure us, but even still, I have to admit I am more than tempted.'
"Lastly, there is access to the Dream World," continued Xu Shi. "I won't explain since you will understand after accessing it. Close your eyes and say: Dream Incarnate."
The group found themselves in a strange and ethereal space. A spirit appeared before them to explain all the Dream World's abilities. Xu Shi listened attentively and was slightly surprised the people from the Lower Realm had the exact same access as the people back home.
'I thought he would at least hide some information, like his new upgraded Origin System.' However, as soon as she had that thought, Xu Shi realized how stupid it was. Without the Innate Environment, the new system is basically useless. She looked at these excited leaders.
"I finally see hope," uttered Medicine Saint. With the Cultivation Simulation, he can practice his Dao Ancestor Tribulation until he's confident he can pass. And with the merit he will receive, he finally sees the hope of achieving immortality.
"Let's go: we still have work to do," ordered Xu Shi. Everyone returned to the throne room. She summoned a middle-aged teacher holding a fan.
"This is Teacher Fu Rong; she will be the main God of this world. She will handle all affairs of the court." These leaders immediately bowed as they sensed the aura of immortality emanating from her.
"Get up. Believe it or not, we all have one purpose - better serve the court," said Fu Rong in a calm and reassuring voice.
"As members of the court, everything is not about benefit - you have duties," continued Xu Shi. "Your main focus will be to raise the civilization of mortals." She sent the information into their mind about how to cultivate mortals; she even created deadlines for these people to ensure they completed everything in a timely manner. However, once she finished, the room became eerily quiet.
"Is there a problem?"
"Your majesty, is this really necessary?" asked the Great Xue Ruler.
"Yes, and this task is more important than you can imagine." Her words were direct and severe; the rise of mortal civilization was the main way for their academy to gather merit.
The Enlightening Temples are off-limits. She cannot or will not create Demon Schools since that's a thankless job; she can leave it to Ao Shen to go to all the trouble since he's the one benefiting.
Hou Chamgpu smiled wryly. He never cared about mortals, even though they comprised most of his dynasty. His job was to ensure they were fed, had a home, and did not freeze in the winter. Now, he would have to open their mind - which is dangerous since it made them easily prone to revolts - and help them develop military power on par with some of his best armies.
He glanced with the corner of his eyes to see these people's reactions. Despite their displayed calmness, he knew none of them were happy with the idea of empowering mortals.
"You guys need to prepare for the eventual rise of mortals," added Fu Rong. "Once the court's duties are completed, they will have the power to balance Mortal Cultivators."
"Teacher Fu Rong is correct," stated Xu Shi. "You need to quickly accept that the world will no longer be as it used to be. The sooner you accept this fact and adapt, the higher your chances of preserving your past strength, power, and privileges."
Her voice echoed in their mind.
"Additionally, I must warn you. The rise of mortal civilizations involved my personal benefit. Do not do anything stupid to affect it, understand?"
"Understand," they replied swiftly.
"Good. We will summon mortals from our world to better facilitate the extreme changes that are about to occur. Treat them with respect and kindness. As citizens of the court, they are protected. You can imagine what will happen to you if someone purposely hurts them."
Xu Shi saw they were listening attentively, so she continued: "The Dream World will not be open publicly as of yet. I will grant you permission to spread amongst your people if you so wish."
This world's mortals were not ready for the Dream World.
"Any question?"
"I have an inquiry, Your Majesty," spoked Cai Renshu.
"Speak."
"Does the court's rules prevent members from confronting each other?"
"As long as you don't stop your duty or let your fight affect the mortals, we will not intervene," explained Xu Shi. "If you want, you can settle your dispute in the Battle Tower to reduce the loss of resources and manpower; it's a binding agreement that is reinforced."
"I see," Cai Renshu replied with twinkling eyes. He cupped his hands and bowed before stepping back.
"Your majesty, I just want to know who this Heavenly Emperor you speak so highly of is," asked the Medicine Saint.
"You only need to know he's someone that even I must honor."
Xu Shi dismissed the team before glancing at Teacher Fu Rong. "I will leave the task of contacting others and establishing the Academy's branch to you. There shouldn't be a problem, right?"
"No issue, headmaster."
"Good," she nodded before looking in the distance. I have glimpsed at this world's many possible futures. You only need to keep an eye on that Su Dynasty Ruler, and everything should proceed relatively smoothly."
"I will keep that in mind," replied Teacher Fu Rong with great seriousness. From now on, that little ruler will not leave her sight. Xu Shi nodded before leaving to supervise other world's expeditions.
