Chapter 136: New World and Peony
Li Yuanba ended his experiment with a sense of gain and loss, overall he was quite satisfied.
However, there is a very prominent problem here, that is, Li Yuanba always feels that his lifespan is about to reach its end! This is a mysterious and profound feeling, but Li Yuanba didn't take it seriously, because this endpoint will be at least hundreds of years later!
Li Yuanba's body as a carrier of the soul, can be said that as long as his body is always full of energy, then his lifespan will not have an end date, but Li Yuanba still underestimated the concept of karma in mythology!
This term "karmic force" is quite interesting, to put it simply, it's a causal relationship! If this kid were to run into the Desolate World, the karmic forces he created would be enough to bring down a saint! Previously, his physical body had blocked these intangible karmic forces, but they never disappeared from Li Yuanba's side. If there was a way in the Desolate World to examine someone's karmic force, it would shock the great powers and his little friends to the point of stupidity - what kind of karma must he have created to make Heaven and Earth create such an enormous karmic force for him?!
This method of heaven and earth is running, after the unconscious forced fusion with Li Yuanba's body, the huge karma that makes any great power fearful also enters Li Yuanba's body! According to the understanding of the Honghuang world, the karma in this kid's body is like opposing merits, as long as he doesn't die, whoever fights him will be unlucky! A person with great merit, whoever kills him can't eat it; but when the karma reaches a certain level, as long as you can't kill him, every move and style he exhibits in battle carries a huge amount of karmic attack, and bad luck is also contagious. That's just how it is!
But Li Yuanba accepted all the karma, which increased his physical strength and was a beneficial auxiliary energy for him; but for Li Yuanba's soul, it was just the opposite. Karma would constantly erode Li Yuanba's spiritual strength until his soul dissipated and he became a living dead man!
Some people wish they could live forever, but Li Yuanba had always hoped that his life would have an end. Watching the people around him leave one by one was a kind of mental torture. Everyone wants to live forever, but the loneliness after living forever is something only oneself knows, and it's about gains and losses. Not everyone can bear it!
It's just like those who commit suicide, their lives still have a long way to go, but they choose extreme means to end them. Their state of mind is no different from those who gain eternal life! Eternal Life Incantation, Suffering When!
Life is short and full of joys and sorrows, I just wish to be a dreamer forever.
Endless road of life, how much sorrow, past events recall sighing farewell.
Yearning to explore the vast sky and grasp it in my heart. Wandering with wine, shadows follow me.
Ambition is exhausted but people are not, tears scatter in the vast sky, only I am sorrowful.
Lucky to have like-minded friends gathering together, emotions faded and blood ran cold, but still raised their cups.
Who at the ends of the earth does not know you? Your heart is like a boulder, transforming demons into men.
Li Yuanba's prolonged lifespan had been a source of torment for him, but the end of that lifespan was now in sight, and Li Yuanba was rejuvenated with new vitality. Even his tyrannical aura was subdued, and under Li Yuanba's control, it could change at will, no longer burning everything in its path like it used to. This way, Li Yuanba had more things to play with. The only drawback was that the War Evolution Engine still couldn't accept Li Yuanba's blood, and would either self-destruct or self-ignite. This still made Li Yuanba a bit depressed...
The world's pattern has changed greatly, except for the population of Datang which remains in the hundreds of millions, the total population of other countries combined does not even reach 200 million, yet it is under such circumstances that humanity's unyielding heart stirs up a huge wave, vowing to reign supreme over the world!
Humans' reproductive capacity has improved overall, with multiple births leading to a stair-step increase in population! The reproductive capacity of those alien beasts is even more terrifying, but due to their relatively small base number, the mortality rate remains high. As a result, due to differences in growth periods, the number of alien beasts surges rapidly, and every place becomes lively and extraordinary, starting a great competition for reproduction among species!
In a time of dwindling vitality, people's minds are set on stability, and several continents are peacefully and steadily expanding their population within their territories.
In eighty-three, Shangguan Yanru supported her aging body and buried foreshadowing on several continents, ending her journey in this world. During this period, she exhausted her life without getting another energy crystal, and with the remaining spirit, she gave a hypnotic command to ordinary people on several continents, even if she died, she would not give up her revenge!
In the year 934, the world's population exceeded 630 million! The heavens and earth were full of energy, leading to a world where everyone was martially inclined, with a fierce and heroic atmosphere, and class struggles emerged one after another! Under such circumstances, those extraordinary talents born from heaven and earth also emerged endlessly, with strange encounters filling the streets, and ambitions sprouting everywhere!
Technology has become a kind of auxiliary skill in this world, where human individual strength and personal martial power occupy an important position!
Demigods roam the earth, and those who have transcended to the heavens are as numerous as dogs! Even the realm of Qi Tian, which is above the heavens, has over a million in the world. The so-called divine masters of the other three continents, who possess extraordinary talents, have already touched the rules between heaven and earth, entering the unimaginable Star God Realm!
However, these divisions of martial power are boring for Li Yuanba. Take the Star God Realm for example. People at this level can grasp the sky with one hand and pull down small planets outside the Earth to strike the ground, causing destruction that is shocking to living beings! It's said to be shocking to living beings because under Li Yuanba's attribute, such external attacks on the Earth can only stir up a cloud of dust, not even creating a small pit, which is less effective than using tools.
At that time, the earth was one of the representatives of invincible defense. It's amazing that people who can't cultivate can freely use tools or bare hands to farm, and any energy attack can't destroy a single thread of land. Even if you can turn the seas upside down, the silt on the riverbed cannot be controlled! This creates a very interesting phenomenon. When two extremely powerful warriors fight, except for being able to create a huge roar, in the midst of flying dust everywhere, there is no longer the shocking and earth-shaking scene of before!
On the basis of previous martial arts divisions, people named the rising cultivation based on their feelings. In fact, the so-called Star God Realm is still a vague division, because before this, it was all divided by the destructive power caused by each martial art. But at that time, the world didn't know how to deal with it, and using energy could actually reach a lossless level for the earth!
Even Li Yuanba exerted himself to smash the ground with a large hammer, he could only occasionally create a huge deep pit, and at other times, he could only raise a sky full of dust and use his "cursing heaven and earth" skill to turn the world upside down within a thousand feet...
The energy attack technique is relatively low-key, leaving a lot of room for survival for those external repair personnel. Don't look at them being unable to beat you, but in terms of visual shock, these people are considered high-end martial arts! Stomping one foot leaves a footprint, and scratching the ground for a while creates a deep pit! People with infinite energy stored in their bodies, except for killing faster, even lack the skill of digging pits on the ground...
This situation has led many people not to let their children and grandchildren practice internal family skills, and those external skills have gradually become the best choice for ordinary people!
This creates a very interesting phenomenon, where people who cultivate true energy or other energies, once they are in an awkward situation of being neither high nor low, can only choose to become bottom-level killers or porters, except for entering the business industry, similar to those white-collar workers in modern society who have no ability to tie up a chicken and do not eat grains, with very single living means; while those who specialize in external skills have many job options and never have to worry about starving!
In such a world of heaven and earth, the story of one person single-handedly opening up a mountain is something that can only be found in stories and historical records, except for Li Yuanba. Most people who cultivate true energy and other techniques can only reminisce about the past world. However, the cultivation of energy that can kill people still occupies the main position, after all, they are still considered to be among the upper class!
The external work method becomes the mainstream of the underlying, but there are also amazing and elegant ones. When the external work is cultivated to the extreme, relying solely on physical defense and pure strength attacks can reach a certain level, it is also possible to enter the upper-level system, but this requires several generations of exploration and practice.
When the power of a nation unwilling to be isolated increases to a certain extent, war will inevitably occur!
In the year 935 AD, April, Xelthenos-Les-Os, the self-proclaimed God-King of Gods, launched an aggressive war against the Eastern European continent! This collision of divine magic and Dou Qi magic attracted the attention of the world, as brilliant powers clashed and sparked a dazzling display of fireworks! The emergence of various unfamiliar combat professions in front of people showcased powers that eclipsed the former technological prowess!
If this were a battle in the old world, it would have shaken the entire globe, symbolizing the collapse of mountains and rivers, and the sky falling to the ground!
But in this new world, people can only sigh and say: "What a big firework..."
