Chapter 392: Innocent Heart
"No, none of that."
"The reason why there are so few 'enlightened people' among the people of the mountains and seas nowadays..."
"On the one hand, it's because you have enough 'Stairs to God' to choose from. Your ancestors have already paved countless paths to heaven for you."
"On the other hand, because modern society is too materialistic, few people can calm down and concentrate on doing something."
Looking at Tang He who had a thoughtful look on his face, Duomu continued to add.
"Of course, I'm only talking about ordinary people from the mountains and seas."
"In modern times, those people of the mountains and seas who have perseverance and ideas are still trying to find a path that belongs only to them. Their numbers will only increase, not decrease, compared to those in ancient times."
What Duomu said is a fact. The population base of today's mountain and sea civilization is much larger than that of ancient times.
Even if only one-tenth of the population is still researching to break through the limits of themselves and their race, the number is far beyond the mountain and sea civilizations of ancient times.
To be honest, the development of Shanhai civilization has reached a stage where it has long surpassed the point where one or two geniuses are enough to lead the civilization forward.
The normal development trend of civilization is for those people in the mountains and seas who stand at the top to work together to promote the progress of civilization.
“Compared to intelligence and talent, what is more important to an enlightened person is a sincere heart.”
Staring deeply at Alang who was still swinging his sword, Duomu finally pointed out the other party's greatest advantage.
“Don’t be proud or conceited, don’t be happy with things or sad with yourself.”
"I can deal with any situation with a normal mind, and will not let the outside world's comments affect my own decisions."
"Ah Lang's 'innocent heart' is his greatest support on the path to enlightenment!"
In a sense, this is the highest praise that Duomu, as an immortal, can give to Alang.
"Innocent Heart...?"
After listening to Duomu's words, Tang He seemed much more relaxed after focusing his attention on Alang again.
As for this child whom he has watched grow up since childhood, the affection that Tang He has invested in him is actually not much less than that of his parents, Ah He and Am.
This is not just Tang He's case, but a common characteristic of most of the skeletons.
For the skeleton people, who exist as individuals and have no blood relationship with their parents, the affection they devote to their own kind far exceeds that of members of other mountain and sea tribes.
"It would be great if he could really open the 'Long Stairway to Godhood'!"

On the other side, in the community specially prepared by the people of Shanhai for Ah He and Am.
This couple from another world was lying weakly on their bed, surrounded by people from the mountains and seas of different races.
These people from the mountains and seas come from different cities and regions.
The only purpose of their gathering here is to solve the aging problem of the couple Ah He and Ah Mu.
As gods from foreign lands, their abnormal aging phenomenon is not just the abnormal physical sensation caused by the vortex of time and space, but there are deeper reasons.
"It's a curse. There are traces of the curse on their bodies."
After carefully observing the body data next to him, a flying squirrel that had transformed half of its head into a mechanical structure spoke up.
If you look closely, you will find that one of the eyes of this flying squirrel has also undergone deep prosthetic transformation.
By connecting to the Shanhai Network, the flying squirrel's artificial eyes can directly obtain relevant data for modeling and comparison to identify various abnormalities of living organisms.
"curse?"
Hearing the flying squirrel's diagnosis.
An old man who looked almost exactly like a human but was not even as big as a flying squirrel couldn't help but frown.
He is also a member of the hundreds of tribes in the mountains and seas - the fungus people.
The fungus people are different from other tribes in the mountains and seas. They are not actually a race in the true sense, but a huge type of life.
All individuals derived from fungi and herbs are considered to be members of the fungus people.
However, in most cases, these special creatures must evolve into animal forms before they can have real mobility.
Especially after the popularization of [Plant Vitality] technology, similar special creatures have frequently appeared in every corner of the mountain and sea world.
For example, this old man now.
From the roots all over his body, it can be seen that he must be an individual evolved from herbaceous plants such as ginseng.
For this type of fungus people, they themselves are a precious medicinal material.
The old man had encountered life-threatening situations more than once when he was still a ginseng baby.
Fortunately, the Shanhai Civilization has already had very complete protection measures for intelligent individuals, and is able to provide timely assistance to the elderly every time.
This is why the ginseng doll, which is very precious and rare in other worlds, can live safely to the old man's age.
"Yes, it's a curse."
Feishu nodded to confirm the old man's doubt, and then turned his gaze to Taihang not far away.
Taihang and the old man are both beings with long lifespans. They are the main forces in extending the lifespan of Ah He and Am.
Feishu believed that compared to the naive old man, Taihang must have noticed something a long time ago, which was why he came to find him.
"It's God's curse."
Taking a deep breath, Taihang told the truth as expected.
"I originally thought that they just forcibly crossed the time and space vortex, which caused their lifespan to be exhausted."
“Although this may sound a bit outrageous to a god-ascending being, it was the only plausible explanation at the time.”
"However, as I used various methods to extend their lifespans, I still couldn't make them regain their youth. I realized that there must be some divine power at work."
With the current technology of Shanhai Civilization, only god-level power can make their life-extending methods ineffective.
"The reason I called you here is because I want to study the principle of this curse."
"On the other hand, I also want to trace the source and find out the real source of this curse."
There was a slight pause in his tone, and Taihang's eyes became sharp at this moment.
"If the curse on the two of them came from their original world, then the situation would be slightly better."
“But if the curse on them comes from the distant past of the Mountain and Sea Realm, or even from the time when the Mountain and Sea Dragon Clan still existed…”
"Then, through the power of this curse, an unknown existence from the distant past is most likely coveting our era."
"Whether for the sake of progress or self-preservation, they cannot die yet."
