Online Game: You Call Him A Newbie? - Chapter 670

670 Origin of the Great Dao
Although the development of these lifeforms had hit a bottleneck, the appearance of communication caused their population to skyrocket. Many years later, these life forms discovered the joy of insight.

They began to spend their abundant time on sculpting and immersed themselves in it.

In the place they lived, all the soil was shaped in bizarre ways, as if it were children’s graffiti. Despite periodic chaotic storms smoothing things out, these life forms were tirelessly engrossed in their activities.

Like children on the beach, even though the sea would eventually wash away sand sculptures, they remained excited and immersed in the process.

Day after day, year after year, they, idle as they were, as a whole community, fell into this hobby.

As time passed, their aesthetic sense developed, and they began to adopt a unified style.

The mud sculptures, initially irregular and peculiar, became regular and symmetrical. This uniformity in the sculptures prompted them to embark on their first contemplation.

Why was this world like this? Why was it so unattractive?

After countless years of development, they had recognized the distortion of space, the existence of mass, and the unpredictable ‘natural disasters’ of chaotic storms.

They began to ponder why it was so.

Especially the first lifeform to appear, his contemplation was the deepest.

If space was not distorted, the propagation of light would not be deceptive. Just by seeing it, one could determine the distance instead of needing to touch it with their hands to know if something was far or near.

If mass followed a pattern, their sculptures would not collapse or deform due to changes in gravity.

He began to contemplate this irregular world, and this questioning, like a seed, began to take root and sprout.

Unfortunately, their contemplation yielded no results. Despite the lack of results, they continued to contemplate, continuing day after day with their sculptures.

So it went on for countless years. Because of their constant contemplation and meticulous sculpting, their mental strength grew rapidly. Then, in a haze, they saw the condition inside their own bodies.

And when they saw that they too were a pile of soil, the entire world seemed to tremble.

Lightning appeared, chaotic storms became even more chaotic, and even some chunks of soil began to gather, forming larger chunks, only to crumble again.

These lifeforms were amazed by this and found it interesting. Therefore, they all moved in this direction, hoping to cause some changes in the world.

Lin Feng and the others looked at each other strangely. Was this the initial method of increasing mental strength?

Continuous contemplation and immersion in sculpting could enhance the intensity of mental strength?

Lin Feng and the others suddenly thought of a world that claimed to be the cultivation realm. In that world, similar mental strength, called divine sense, was also enhanced by observing complex patterns containing the laws of the Dao.

It seemed that the development of the Dao was consistent.

And the so-called mental strength, divine sense, were all actually soul powers. The initial power was the power of the soul?

“The paths are similar, just the way of walking may be different. Every world must have its development trend, whether long or short, it is all predetermined,” Lin Feng murmured to himself.

Although these seemingly only unravel the mystery of the world’s opening, they were very helpful for Lin Feng’s understanding of the myriad Dao.

Perhaps he could find a way for the myriad Dao to harmonize within himself, without the need for the stable flow of the great river of the Dao. Would the Dao naturally form a great river, and could he grow himself?

Lin Feng and the others continued to watch. After the soul power of those life forms grew, they found themselves different from before. They could see farther, were stronger, and had more robust bodies.

They could even directly withstand some small Chaos storms.

So he began to teach his clansmen how to improve and called this improvement ‘growth’!

Seeing this, Lin Feng and the others smiled at each other, but also envied them somewhat.

Clearly, it was an improvement in the level of life, but it was considered growth by the other party. Upon closer inspection, it made sense. There was no limit to their lifespans, so-called improvement was just their own growth, wasn’t it?

Even if they didn’t actively improve, as long as they kept living, they would improve on their own. This was indeed growth!

“Are these innate beings? Their so-called improvement is just accelerating their own growth. Born with it, truly blessed,” Zhang Tao exclaimed.

At this point, Zhang Tao and the others had entered old age. The divine-levels claimed to have no limit to lifespan, but in reality, it was just too long. As living beings, how could there be no limit to lifespan?

Energy was conserved. You could not absorb more energy. Then, as time passed, your own energy would eventually slowly dissipate. This was the essence of life.
After the divine level, it was just the process of dissipating one’s own energy, all placed at the last moment of life disappearing.

Lin Feng looked at the aging and tired-looking people and sighed softly.

“Boss, let us go to the Longevity World. With our current understanding of the Dao, connected to the Longevity World, Boss can improve, and we can also reincarnate and be reborn within the Longevity World,” Zhang Tao suddenly said.

The other few people were also looking at Lin Feng expectantly. This was something they had discussed a long time ago.

Lin Feng faced them in silence for a long time before saying, “Even after so many years, my myriad paths still grow slowly. I am only at the mid-level of the god level now. Going in won’t help me improve much, and even you, after reincarnation, will be limited by my influence.”
