This planet is certainly useful. First, because it is the center of this parallel universe. If something happens to this planet, there's no guarantee that this parallel universe won't collapse.
Secondly, this planet is not as useless as Best described; its 1.3 million years have not been wasted.
As history marches on, the constant infighting among the various races on this planet has made the progress of civilization exceptionally slow.
Or rather, the progress of civilization remained at its most suitable stage, the barbaric and cruel stage of feudalism and slavery.
The Nivk race stands out among many intelligent races for a certain degree of superiority. This is certainly related to their role as saviors of world-ending catastrophes as recorded in the epics of many great races, but it is more due to the Nivk race's terrifying strength.
These exaggeratedly muscular brutes not only possess astonishing innate strength, but also have outstanding talent in cultivation. Their powerful physiques allow them to rapidly improve the special "qi" techniques evolved on this planet. At the same time, these "qi" techniques can also nourish their bodies, making them increasingly powerful, eventually turning them into monstrous beings.
Looking at the races still endlessly criticizing how stupid they were, it had reached the point of comparing the intelligence of Earth's wild boars with the innovative abilities of the Nevik barbarians.
"Shut up, Best."
At Wu You's command, Best immediately stopped making noise, and the entire area in front of the Stone Palace became so quiet that you could hear the stones falling.
Wu You's gaze wasn't on Best, nor on the resurrected Makuru, but rather on the thousands of Nivik warriors and some minority groups from other races on the field.
I lingered my gaze on the more prominent individuals among them.
During the previous cataclysmic disaster, the area in front of the stone palace probably housed tens of thousands of people of various races. Apart from some who could fly or who rode flying mounts, the vast majority remained on the ground.
But in that chaotic state of earthquakes, with cracks everywhere and flying rocks, it is certainly illogical that these seemingly unsophisticated "weak natives" with no high technology could have suffered only a very small number of deaths, most of which were caused by being trampled to death.
The answer to this lies in the profound techniques that this planet has evolved over 1.3 million years.
In the chaos that had just occurred, the massive rocks and the large-scale danger were resolved by a group of "monsters".
They might smash boulders or leap and push people away from the edge of an abyss.
Scenes from the history of this planet flash frequently, depicting the balance of power amidst war, adventure, and individual heroism; such figures can be found in almost every influential corner.
Although the techniques they use vary in form and are top secrets of their respective individuals, races, or families, they are essentially from the same source, originating from the martial arts techniques modified by Best.
Martial arts are meant to strengthen the body and improve health. They are a unique skill developed by humans on the planet in the Eastern Realm. They mainly emphasize the process of imitating the inner and outer worlds of the body, storing excess energy called "qi" in the dantian, and combining it with physical training or, when necessary, attacking with specific moves.
There are similar things on Earth, but they are very rudimentary. For example, Chinese martial arts and various fighting techniques are like the most basic external skills and moves, while Qigong, yoga, Aikido, and Taoist health cultivation are like internal cultivation methods. However, the original Earth techniques are not very powerful, and the internal cultivation methods are more like training the mind.
The martial arts techniques on this planet are completely different from those on Earth and in the Eastern Realm of our ancestors; they have mutated.
The various tribes here have combined physical and mental training to the extreme, expanding the preservation of mental energy from simple storage to mutual promotion with the body, resulting in close interaction between mental energy and muscles and extremely strong explosive power.
Depending on the technique, optical phenomena can even occur while unleashing powerful force with every gesture.
This optical manifestation enhances the low light intensity of the human body.
Those who have practiced Qigong and Taoist health cultivation to a relatively advanced level know that the human body actually emits light, which can sometimes be seen in a meditative state, albeit very faintly.
The natives of this planet achieved a breakthrough by combining their physical body with their vital energy, simply and brutally strengthening their bodies. This resulted in a sudden increase in the power of the light accompanying the energy during the eruption, with different colors depending on the attribute, possessing both power and visual appeal.
Ironically, this technique has almost the same name when translated into the languages of various races.
The fighting spirit, or rather, the battle aura, born for battle!
Yes, battle qi, in terms of its cultivation method, usage method, effects, and process, is very similar to the battle qi in some knightly fantasy worlds on Earth.
This fighting spirit technique was of little use to Wu You, but it gave him an unusual sense of novelty and made him feel very interesting.
It's like an unexpected stroke of luck; in Wu You's words, "It's so much fun!"
The message was transmitted to Best in the form of a consciousness wave, which immediately caused a gleam to appear in the eyes of the cat with its chubby cheeks.
Then, the giant hand in the sky began to shrink at a seemingly slow but actually rapid pace, and immediately disappeared into the twisting horizon.
Above, the blue sky and white clouds returned, a clear expanse accompanied by a gentle breeze. If it weren't for the fact that the entire mountain range and stone palace were shattered, if it weren't for the remaining cracks in the ground, and the fish and shrimp bobbing on the dried-up lakes and rivers...
Some people might think that what just happened was an illusion.
Of course, two things remained in the sky: Best and Makuru.
However, Wu You only withdrew his hand, but his gaze did not leave.
"What?! These guys came up with something this fun? I want to see it!"
Upon hearing Wu You's instructions, Best immediately jumped for joy, as if he had eaten a pistachio.
It flew to Makuru, who was hovering in the air, flicked its tail, and then landed on the ground with him. In just a few steps, it reached the high priest who was leaning on his cane.
The high priest swallowed hard as he looked at the two resurrected "ancestral spirits," feeling a mix of tension and excitement, but also immense pressure.
"You must be the High Priest of Nivik, right? Who has the strongest fighting spirit? Quickly call him out to give this great cat a performance!"
Then, as if it had discovered something, the small cat head turned towards a Nivik warrior not far to the right rear of the high priest.
"It's you, isn't it? Hurry up and give me a performance!"
This "give me a smile" tone would have enraged any other warrior, causing him to crush the head in a fit of rage. But the one before him was the ancestral spirit that had been worshipped since ancient times.
The Nivea warrior stepped forward almost without hesitation.
With a roar, it emitted a yellow light that was neither strong nor dazzling, but it was not easy to ignore.
With a whoosh, the warrior leaped more than ten meters and punched a rock that had fallen into an open space.
"Bang!"
A rock as tall as a person was struck and shattered into more than a dozen stones of varying sizes, which flew in all directions.
With a "whoosh," the cat stood upright, put its paws to its mouth, and whistled.
"Yes, yes, very good. In terms of martial arts, without using weapons, even a master of the innate level can only leave a fist or palm print half a foot deep on this kind of boulder."
"Hahaha, now I've got something to brag about when I get back! I've stirred up some fighting spirit!!"
