Chapter 387: Chapter 386: A Situation that the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon Didn’t Expect
Everyone present did not understand what Jiang Li was trying to do, took a statue, and knocked it down.
This is surely an idle act, the material of the statue is not metal, it can naturally be broken.
Jiang Li did not explain too much to them.
With that, the threat from the Super Power Sect in Jiang Li’s eyes dropped several notches.
“Your world seems very peaceful.” Jiang Li, accepting the tea made by Shao Junyi, took a light sip.
“It’s fine. Originally our world was also chaotic, with several countries in constant war. At that time, super power users united and operated in the shadows, using all means to finally merge several countries into one.”
“Can you tell us about the history of your world?”
Director Shao nodded, asking, “Where should I start? From the place where historical records exist, or from seemingly absurd legends?”
“I still have some interest in legends.”
There are many versions of the legends. Director Shao chose to tell the ones that seemed plausible based on personal experience.
These legends are only known to super power users, the history books of ordinary people have another version.
“Legend has it that 6,000 years ago, the human tribe was weak, struggling for survival in nature. Then the Heavenly Messengers descended and performed miracles, gifting us the ability known as super powers.”
“I used to think that the Heavenly Realm was just a conceptual term, now it appears it might be the Immortal Realm you mention.”
“Armed with super powers, we were finally able to stand our ground in nature, able to withstand attacks from powerful beasts.”
“Super power historians believe that after all, only a very small part of the population acquired super powers. These super powers were not universal. Over-reliance on super power users could not bring about social progress.”
“Under the protection of the super power users, people without super powers used their hands and brains to start exploring natural laws.”
“Bronze, iron tools… the tools used by common people kept changing, becoming stronger and stronger.”
“We evolved from a primitive society, tribal society, to the emergence of a slave state.”
“In the history textbooks of ordinary people, the earliest slave-country monarchs all had some extraordinary aspects, such as subduing mountains and rivers with a fist, causing suffocation with a tiger-like stare, and making laws with every word…”
“Ordinary people believe that these are exaggerations made by historical records to elevate the status of the monarch. But super power users know that these monarchs were super power users.”
“After all, at that time human civilization was not perfect, whoever was strong was the ruler, without considering if those rulers had the ability to govern. Their impulsive decisions were often unreasonable.”
“History proves this point too, all kinds of unreasonable commands from those monarchs led to the rapid extinction of their countries, disappearing like a mirage in history.”
“Besides, the descendants of super power users may not necessarily be super power users. If a super power user becomes the ruler, who should be the ruler after the death of this super power user? His useless son?”
“Since the ruler of the country is decided by whose power is strong, naturally stronger super power users will emerge.”
“For all these reasons, the turnover rate of slave states was too fast. Few countries could last for three generations.”
“Super power users later realized this was wrong and chose to retreat behind the scenes, letting ordinary people be the rulers. This was the era of feudal society.”
“Feudal states endured much longer than slave states. Generally, monarchs could make correct decisions, but there were always super power users who thought they were unique, threatening the monarch with death. The monarch, fearing death, could only make wrong decisions.”
“Too many wrong decisions accumulated over time and eventually became the root cause of the country’s collapse.”
“Later on, an agreement was reached among the super power users to truly hide and no longer meddle in the affairs of state governance. This is the modern society.”
“The Super Power Sect, however, wants to violate this agreement, advocates for super power users ruling the nation, and makes the history go backward, which the Super Power User Management Bureau will never allow!”
“Six thousand years ago, the Heavenly Realm?”
Jiang Li remembered that he was squabbling with Bai Hongtu and hadn’t tested the speed of time flow in Wei Gu’s world.
Bai Hongtu firmly stated that he would not go to Jiuzhou to help Jiang Li measure the rate of time flow, and then be summoned again.
Jiang Li had no choice but to contact Yu Yin via the Remote Communication Talisman.
“Yu Yin, are you busy?”
Yu Yin was relaxing, reading a novel with Jiang Li as the protagonist.
“Not particularly busy, what’s up?”
“Just to chat with you casually and test the speed of time.”
Seeing the background at Jiang Li and Bai Hongtu’s end, Yu Yin knew the two have found a new world.
“Not even inviting me over when you find a new world.”
Bai Hongtu rubbed his hands excitedly, “Wishing to come is not difficult, I’ll set up a summoning formation and summon you over.”
Seeing Bai Hongtu’s smile, Yu Yin knew this might not be a good thing and decisively declined.
“Just tell me about the new world when you guys come back.”
The call ended.
“Nine thousand years have passed in Jiuzhou, six thousand years have passed in this world. The time corresponds.”
“Heavenly realm is not the Immortal Realm, but the world of the Heavenly Demons. Your super powers are created by the Heavenly Demons.”
Bai Hongtu was puzzled and did not understand what the Heavenly Demons wanted to do.
Jiang Li understood: “Do you think super powers are powerful?”
“Powerful, but not absolutely powerful, a large number of ordinary people can defeat a super power user.”
“Exactly, not particularly powerful, but the super power users who consider themselves superior living in the same world with a vast number of ordinary people, these two entities are bound to conflict.”
“The constant change of dynasties is an example.”
“Super power users voluntarily stepped down, willing to let ordinary people rule, alleviating the conflict. This may have been unexpected to the Heavenly Demons.”
Jiang Li believes Heavenly Immortal level demons are rare, and the number of worlds needing to be destroyed are many. Heavenly Immortal level demons are busy and it takes a long time before they come back to check and make adjustments after setting things in motion.
Perhaps the Heavenly Immortal level demon has not descended into this world for the second time yet.
Within the magnificent structure, a huge statue of the Three-Eyed True God stood tall. The man in the golden robe silently looked up at the statue with his hands behind his back.
Compared to the statue, the figure of the man in the golden robe seemed too small.
“Hierarch, it’s bad!” A high-ranking official of the Super Power Sect stumbled over, reporting the situation with a panicked expression on his face.
The golden-robed man frowned, considering his lower-ranking members lacking in foresight and not being useful.
Seeing the Hierarch’s displeasure, the high-ranking official of the sect suddenly realized that this was a place of worship, with the Hierarch in the process of worshiping the True God hurriedly slowed down his pace, carefully walking over.
Filled with fear, although in the outside world, he can command the wind and the clouds as a fifth-level super power user, but in front of the unfathomable Hierarch, he can only swallow his pride.
He had seen the Hierarch in action, a super power user of equal standing to him reverted to a child as if time was flowing backward.
Energy is conserved, and when one regresses from an adult to a child, the excess energy is absorbed by the Hierarch.
The Hierarch also gained that person’s superpowers.
The Hierarch possessed an extremely rare power of absorption ability.
