Chapter 506: 327

These people looked around, east and west, simply astonished beyond belief.

These weapons meant safety and stability; they were slightly inferior when facing the West King, but against most Evil Gods, they were more than enough!

And inside the factory, the production of various materials signified a steady flow of financial income. No wonder Turtle Mansion employed so many workers without facing a fiscal deficit, all thanks to these marvelous machines!

Every worker here beamed with pride and dignity because the wages for working here were so high, they even elevated one’s social status significantly!

No wonder the monk "Qiu Yuan" changed his beliefs, with such a powerful productivity doctrine, who would still want to chant scriptures and worship Buddha?

"Was this machinery... created by the Emperor of Heaven?" The senior brother Zhong Li couldn’t help but ask sincerely.

Old Man Number One shook his head, "Not so, the Emperor of Heaven rarely interferes. What’s relied upon here is the strength of people themselves, our inventions and creations based on physics, chemistry, mathematics. Why is education promoted in schools? Because enough talents are needed, otherwise there won’t even be an industrial population to operate the machinery."

"This is a product that can be promoted externally and change the world. The Emperor of Heaven is just an aid, able to sweep away many obstacles, but the ones to change the world are still humans themselves."

"And the Emperor of Heaven must think the same, it never micromanages or hinders our production."

"It only helps deal with those bothersome Evil Gods. With the aid of the Six Paths of Reincarnation, perhaps... this place has more potential than our own."

Old Man Number One was pleased but also somewhat troubled. How come the line of Kunlun, which he had thought to be the main antagonist, suddenly sided with them?

Instantly, from enemy to friend?

But upon careful thought, turning from darkness to light was the true principle of the Mortal World.

All those deities across the mountains and fields wanted to devour people. Even Kunlun Mountain was not peaceful; only here did they not devour people and instead developed productive forces. Not to side with them would be foolish!

Throughout the tour, the atmosphere shifted from initial enthusiasm to a gradual silence; the students of Fu Tianyuan held their breath, their faces painted with an indescribable color of despondency.

This speech, when heard by those from the line of Kunlun, was like a thunderclap.

Those factories powered by water could, with the skillful craftsmen, perhaps be replicated in some way.

But these theories and thoughts, unpleasantly put, were against tradition; most people would find them hard to accept. Put nicely, they were... truly revolutionary!

Humans and Deities were not in a dependency relationship but a cooperative one.

The Emperor of Heaven was actually willing to have a purely cooperative relationship with humans. The Emperor of Heaven demanded neither incense worship nor other offerings, nor did it ever issue commands, only occasionally assisting humans.

This huge difference in ideology was a shock to the young people’s values, making them feel apprehensive, unable to voice their thoughts.

Yet, they did not know how to refute, as facts spoke louder than words.

Old Man Number One sighed upon seeing their expressions, as this was the crushing power of a higher dimension. The gap in productive force was something they could consider catching up with, after all, this world had various forms of Magic that could produce miracles.

But it was the intellectual disparity that Earth people had spent hundreds of years creating, an immense spiritual wealth. Even Earth people themselves had not completely figured out the future path, but no matter what, it was far stronger than that of a Feudal Dynasty like the Mountain and Sea Realm.

He took advantage of the moment and asked, "Gentlemen, would you be willing to enter the Taoist Temple and see the Emperor of Heaven with your own eyes?"

"Just now, our soldiers caught an Evil God from abroad. To see if the so-called Six Paths of Reincarnation truly existed."

Fu Tianyuan himself froze on the spot.

He was actually somewhat panicked; the mysterious space of the Emperor of Heaven was far too terrifying!

Even he, a seasoned and battle-hardened old man who had lived through countless experiences, felt his scalp tingle when recalling that scene, not wishing to enter it a second time.

Oddly enough, the students behind him, other than Zhong Li and Zhong He trembling, were all eager and excited to try.

After all, the Emperor of Heaven was the entity they sought to ally with; a few glances should be harmless, right?

After pondering for a moment, Fu Tianyuan agreed, "Alright then."

The "senior" in front of him would accompany them; their whole group couldn’t display cowardice on the spot.

For those waiting to be courted, showing fear would diminish their worth significantly, impacting their future treatment as well.

"Please, come this way."

...

...

After the time it takes half an incense stick to burn.

The group emerged from the mysterious space once more.

Fu Tianyuan, Zhong Li, and Zhong He showed no significant reaction, but the rest of the students were terrified, sweating profusely.

The process of the Six Paths of Reincarnation’s judgment was terrifying, forcefully absorbing the Evil God.

"It’s actually still not quite the same," Zhong Li whispered to his juniors, "The real thing... is a thousand times more horrifying than what we saw just now, unbearable to openly witness, and even if you cover your ears, you can still hear those eerie wails..."

"This isn’t enough? This hall is already more imposing than that of the West King! The giant wheel of the Six Paths of Reincarnation covered the entire sky," exclaimed several students in amazement.

Fu Tianyuan shook his head expressionlessly, young people, you know nothing of power.

Despite its grandeur, it could not compare at all to what he had seen that day...

He turned around and asked, "Might I inquire, why does the spectacle we just witnessed differ from the one before?"

"It’s normal, because the Emperor of Heaven does not belong to the Mountain and Sea Realm," explained Old Man Number One, walking ahead and pausing to ponder for a moment. "What’s placed here now is merely a projection of an avatar, able to exert only one-tenth, perhaps even one percent of the strength of the original."

"What you saw that day was likely its true form."

"The Divine Beast ’Diting’ that you brought with you switched allegiance, once again strengthening the anchor and allowing it to manifest greater strength."

"However, how did you come to see its true form?"
