Chinese era, one hundred years.
It has been thirty-five years since the first flying boat set sail on a long voyage, twenty-two years since the first artificial spiritual root appeared, and three years since all humans truly acquired the ability to cultivate.
This year, the first year of the Hua Era, the number of monks has reached 5 billion. Although the number of humans has been reduced by nearly half in the past hundred years, this is an inevitable decline brought about by social development.
In this era, a man, a powerful being whose strength is still unknown in the cultivation world, is worshipped by countless people.
He changed the social structure and broke the almost closed-door mentality caused by the prosperity of the spiritual veins. Everyone believed that there was no need for interstellar travel, even though the space law gave them the ability to freely travel back and forth within thousands of light years.
Even the powerful individual brought about by spiritual practice is enough to allow the human body to stand tall in the universe.
Even if interstellar colonization does not only exist on paper, but has a practical technological foundation.
Even if the unified government approves the project, an interstellar fleet capable of sustained navigation can be completed within five years.
But in the past hundred years, so-called interstellar travel has almost disappeared from mainstream discourse, and all literary works have lost their imagination of the universe.
Instead, with an attitude that is superior to the universe, humans do not believe that the universe needs to be explored.
This is understandable, as desires often come from material things. When there are enough materials available in the universe, there will naturally be no desires for things outside.
This is a kind of inertia.
As long as living beings exist, heaven and earth exist.
But spiritual resources are scarce. Spiritual stones, elixirs, medicaments, skills and so on are difficult for ordinary people to obtain.
In order to break the policy of isolation, the emperor separated a part of himself and transformed it into the tentacles of heaven and earth, covering this world.
Those who have no form are all heaven and earth.
The struggle we engage in is also for heaven and earth.
Emperor Mian was basking in the sun tiredly, with a few strands of silver light appearing between his hair.
A reporter sat in front of him respectfully, recording the conversation with the most advanced holographic recorder.
"Mr. Di, what is your mentality for donating the room-temperature superconducting technology and artificial spiritual root technology for free? These two technologies have brought unprecedented changes to mankind and truly enabled everyone to practice. Your achievements are enough to be canonized as a saint, comparable to the legendary immortals."
"I am just offering flowers to Buddha." Emperor Mian shook his head and said, "The Changchun skill is more magical than you think."
The reporter thought he was being modest and said, "You are too modest. Not even one in ten thousand people have achieved the Changchun function. But your artificial spiritual roots allow everyone to practice. In the past, those who practiced Qi before the age of ten were considered geniuses, but now everyone has an artificial spiritual root implanted."
Upon hearing this, Emperor Mian just smiled and shook his head. He was too disdainful to explain too much, and this conversation was just a fun thing to do out of boredom.
If I were to show off, it would be a bit embarrassing.
Besides, what he said was true.
Artificial spiritual roots are based on the method of Changchun Gong, which cuts off the original endless upper limit in exchange for a low lower limit.
Those who have implanted artificial spiritual roots since childhood and those who do not want to succeed through their own efforts will eventually turn into dust.
He will never be able to break through the golden elixir in his entire life.
If you practice Changchun Gong honestly, you will eventually be able to break through. The Golden Elixir is just around the corner, and the Nascent Soul is not impossible.
It's possible all the way to the Holy King.
They are just the fuel, the fuel that drives society forward, the fuel that naturally fuels the struggle of all living beings.
Emperor Mian did not bother to trick them and informed everyone from the beginning.
The upper limit of artificial spiritual roots has been weakened.
Emperor Mian asked: "Do you think I am comparable to an immortal?"
The reporter praised him unabashedly: "I think you have surpassed the immortals. Even if you are standing on the shoulders of giants, you are still better than them."
"hehe……"
Emperor Mian chuckled a few times, seemingly happy, but more like mockery.
He remembered the time when he just came back, everyone's worship of immortals was endless. This was also the result of the joint construction of the three forces of the unified government, the Immortal Palace, and the Dao Realm, which was an absolute correctness.
Because the spiritual veins are controlled by them.
Is there anything wrong with such extreme personality cult?
From the perspective of human social development, it is in line with human nature, but not rational. But if the immortal does not appear, there will be no harm.
Overall, the worship of immortals has only benefits and no harm.
The worship of his character can suppress personal authoritarianism.
Asgard has a plan.
Every genius in cultivation will be influenced by some kind of ideology, either overtly or covertly. From birth, the education prepared by the government will tell you about the virtues of immortals. After entering the cultivation, the Dao Realm headed by the Shangqing Palace and the Beidou Immortal Palace will tell you about the nobility of immortals.
The Xianzhou Fleet is even more extreme, similar to raising a group of death warriors.
They are all the kindness of the immortals, just like the patriotic education in the old times, but they are biased towards individuals.
This behavior can easily lead to rebellion, and many teenagers will slander the immortals and show off their uniqueness in this way. But without exception, after entering society, they will feel ashamed of their past words and deeds.
Because gratitude is real, not the false, preachy, and unreasonable oppression inherent in feudal ethics.
The Taoist methods they practiced all came from one person.
But he never took a single cent from the world.
Emperor Mian knew that the human race had attacked the sky in the previous life, so he wanted to break this favor.
This will be an interesting process.
Emperor Mian sensed that several monks from the City Management Bureau were approaching, but they did not enter his villa, so it was obvious that they were not targeting him.
