"Master, you have finally awakened from your slumber."
An elderly man with wrinkled skin, a long white beard, and wearing a Taoist robe answered.
"Laozi, you should have woken up earlier than me. Tell me, what's the situation on our ancestral planet right now?"
Hongjun asked.
"I woke up a hundred years earlier than my master, and I was originally planning to continue sleeping."
However, I performed a divination on Zuxing, and the divination indicated that the gods would attack the human race within a hundred years.
I thought there was no need to go into a deep sleep; it would be better to wait and see.
The reason Master said that the ancestral star had no spiritual energy was because the gods planted a technology tree on the ancestral star.
The technology tree can absorb the spiritual energy of a planet and influence the thinking of the creatures on that planet.
Originally, technology was only secondary, a tool to assist us in the cultivation of Taoist methods.
Due to the influence of the technology tree, the people of the ancestral planet will abandon the cultivation of Taoist arts and focus on technological development.
The most fatal flaw is the severing of spiritual energy; the technology tree has this function.
Lao Tzu looked worried.
After the technology tree was planted on the ancestral planet, the Daoist arts were almost completely severed.
In the past, the most important core of their Taoist cultivation was to become an immortal and obtain endless life.
Choosing an auspicious day to ascend to immortality, breaking through the void, is the core of cultivating the Dao.
However, the technology tree caused the ancestral planet's spiritual energy to be cut off, and Taoist magic was reduced to trivial tricks such as fortune telling, divination, and pretending to be a god.
Therefore, it is acceptable to say that the ancestral star was the site of the extinction of Taoist practices.
"I was asleep for so long, and so many things happened. It's really unbelievable."
Hongjun sighed heavily.
"Master, your divination skills are better than mine. Could you predict the future?"
Lao Tzu asked the question.
"No need for divination, because I've already seen it. The gods are leading all the races of the universe to come here immediately, and it shouldn't be long."
Hongjun gazed up at the distant starry sky, his eyes gleaming with divine light.
Lao Tzu's highest cultivation level was the Opening Heaven Realm, but he was injured and fell to the Sage Realm.
He wanted to see the gods leading all races in the universe through each galaxy, but that was impossible.
When Hongjun reaches the Stepping Heaven Realm, he can possess this ability.
"How could it be so fast!"
Lao Tzu looked astonished.
"Before I fell into a deep sleep, I did a divination and gave a rough estimate of the time. Now, that rough estimate is far too early."
This isn't a big deal. Fortune telling isn't 100% accurate, and it's normal for mistakes to happen.
Let's prepare ourselves for the crisis to come.
Hongjun sighed helplessly: "I originally thought I had plenty of time, but now it seems I don't. I have to start preparing in advance."
I want to tear apart the entire technology tree and revive the spiritual energy of our ancestral planet so that some embers can be preserved.
If I'm too slow, the entire ancestral planet might be destroyed, and nothing will be left behind.
Laozi hesitated for a moment, then advised, "Master, why don't you just abandon the ancestral star? With your cultivation level, surviving after leaving the ancestral star is an easy thing."
The destruction of humanity's ancestral planet was inevitable; your sacrifice was pointless. No amount of effort left behind on humanity's ancestral planet could put as much pressure on the gods as you did.
“What you say makes sense.” Hongjun thought for a moment, then shook his head and said, “Have you considered that besides protecting the spatial secrets of the Dao, I also have to rely on the Ancestral Star to stay here?”
"Master, are your injuries very serious? To the point where you can no longer leave the ancestral star?"
“Yes, my injuries are more severe than you described. Your cultivation level has dropped from the Opening Heaven Realm to the Sage Realm, and mine is not much different. I am only barely maintaining it with the help of the Ancestral Star. If I leave the Ancestral Star, my cultivation level will plummet, and I will die even faster.”
"Alright, I understand what Master means."
"I'll leave the rest to you. I'm going to crush the tech tree in a bit and then go into a deep sleep."
"Don't worry, Master."
Lao Tzu sighed and watched his master Hongjun leave.
According to reliable sources, the meteorite will enter the ancestral planet within the next minute and impact every part of the planet.
[The US]: We told you not to use our technology, but now it's too late for you to use it.
[India]: We have the protection of the United States, so we won't feel a thing when this meteorite hits us.
[Japan]: The Dragon Kingdom is doomed this time. The entire country is going to be destroyed. What's the use of occupying such a large territory if they're all going to die anyway?
[South Korea]: That's hilarious! Wasn't China so stubborn before? Saying it would never use anything from the US, but now you can't even use it if you want to.
...
Seeing that China is about to suffer misfortune, other countries are overjoyed.
A gigantic meteorite hurtled toward the direction of the Dragon Kingdom.
"The Dragon Kingdom is about to be finished, everything is over."
"This is the result of their arrogance; now the entire Dragon Kingdom is about to be destroyed."
"After a few meteorites, the entire Dragon Kingdom will cease to exist, and that vast territory will belong to my South Korea and Japan."
“That place belongs to your South Korea and Japan. My India is so close, so we should get it first.”
...
These countries all look forward to the destruction of the Dragon Kingdom and are all thinking about how to divide up its territory.
The meteorite, carrying extremely high heat, was like a giant fireball as it crashed into the Dragon Kingdom.
Just as a great disaster was about to strike the Dragon Kingdom, a giant hand appeared and stopped the meteorite.
The meteorite landed on the giant hand and then vanished instantly.
"What's going on? Why did a giant hand suddenly appear and save the damned Dragon Kingdom?"
"Could it be that the Dragon Kingdom harbors a deity, and this towering hand is the deity of the Dragon Kingdom, helping it to block the meteorite from outer space?"
"Why is it that the Dragon Kingdom has gods, and not the Korean Kingdom? This is completely unscientific."
"The Dragon Kingdom was almost destroyed. We could have divided those territories equally. Now, there's nothing left."
...
Everyone except those from the Dragon Kingdom was stunned; they never expected such a turn of events.
"Could it be that there really are immortals in my Dragon Kingdom, and those legends are not all false?"
"I was terrified. I almost thought I was dead. Luckily, I don't have a heart condition."
"You people from other countries don't wish for our quick death, but unfortunately, our Dragon Kingdom is a country of immortals, so we won't die."
...
After surviving the ordeal, everyone in the Dragon Kingdom was overjoyed.
The people of the Dragon Kingdom were worried about dying under the meteorite because they didn't have the protective technology of the United States.
At this time, the people of the Dragon Kingdom not only did not die, but also learned that there were immortals beneath their country.
"So what if there are gods? I don't believe this immortal is so powerful that he can stop all the meteorites."
"That meteorite was the smallest; even more terrifying meteorites will fall later."
"Our American country has the best technology in the world, and can defend against all meteorites. Your Chinese country's immortals are simply no match for it."
...
The United States, India, and other countries joined in the commotion, once again kicking someone when they were down.
