Dimensional Invasion: I Can Fish for All Heavens

Chapter 14: The Vehicles of "Good" and "Evil"—The World Is Never Short of Geniuses

If Zhong Lao were still Zhong Lao as a human being, he would naturally not believe it, because as a human being, he knows the nature of humanity.

However, since Zhong Lao obtained the template of Morax Zhongli, the Geo Emperor, who is the god of contracts, commerce, history, pioneering, hearth, war god, geo god, wealth god, and ancestor of all immortals in Genshin Impact, he was willing to give him his trust.

It sounds ironic, but it's true.

Humans are the embodiment of both "good" and "evil." No matter how kind, benevolent, or amiable a person may appear in public, they inevitably possess an equal amount of darkness within their hearts. It's just that various limitations bind this "evil" within them, preventing it from being expressed in everyday life.

If this is the case for ordinary people, then it goes without saying that those who hold power and profit must also be affected.

Being able to sit in that position isn't something that can be achieved simply by being "kind."

Compared to Elder Zhong as a "human being," he naturally had more faith in Elder Zhong who had obtained the template of the Rock King Emperor and was gradually transforming into a "god."

Because that was Morax, the Rock King, not any other god.

You can say the game isn't fun, but you absolutely cannot say that the design of the Rock King is bad.

That was a real "god" who embodied all the beautiful things in human imagination and could never exist in reality!
Hearing Ye Xuan's tone, Su Mengyao couldn't help but sigh.

How profound is your understanding of humanity? Can't you think of things in a better light?

Although there are always some bad people among humanity, aren't people generally good?

Ye Xuan is like this, and so are all the people she met who obtained the treasures of the heavens. Are humans really that untrustworthy?
"Why are you testing the students? Is it just to find more unregistered superhumans?"

Ye Xuan had no idea what Su Mengyao was thinking, and even if he did, he wouldn't care; as humans, didn't they know what kind of people they were?

He just wanted to know why the Tian Shu Bureau would use this method to test the students, and why they were looking for students with special abilities.

Because of concerns that students' age and abilities might prevent them from mastering their awakened superpowers, thus potentially leading to unforeseen accidents.
Or is it because they want to see if there are any geniuses among these students who have awakened their superpowers?

If it's the former, it seems unnecessary to go to such great lengths; but if it's the latter, what good is it if some of these students who have awakened their special abilities are the geniuses they need?
The strength of superhumans is not as great as human technology. They have no ability to resist guns and cannons. This is still an era of technology. Even the holders of treasures from all heavens cannot ignore the power of technology.

Moreover, there are many adults outside of school who have awakened superpowers. With a population of 1.4 billion in Great Xia, even if the probability of awakening a superpower is one in ten thousand, there are still 140,000 people.

They could have looked at them instead of a group of students still on campus.

"That is one purpose, but it is only one of the reasons."

Su Mengyao did not deny Ye Xuan's words.

"What else?"

Ye Xuan continued to ask.

"Let them adapt."

"Because it's not uncommon for mutated creatures to appear in cities and injure people in the future."

If Ye Xuan were truly just a student who had obtained treasures from all heavens but whose mentality remained that of an ordinary high school student, Su Mengyao wouldn't have told him this answer. However, judging from his behavior just now, Ye Xuan was far more mature than he appeared. Therefore, telling him this shouldn't be a problem.

"adapt?"

"They are just some mutated creatures. They mutate because of spiritual energy, and humans also become stronger because of spiritual energy."

"In terms of species, apart from ferocious beasts such as tigers, lions, cheetahs, elephants, and black bears, the vast majority of species in nature are not stronger than humans."

"In addition to the existence of technology and the treasures of the heavens, I don't think those mutated creatures can threaten humanity."

When Ye Xuan heard Su Mengyao's reason, although he didn't doubt that she was lying to him, he didn't quite believe the answer.

Because humans are very strong. Even setting aside the power of technology, humans are still very strong based solely on their physical strength and intelligence.

Why do many people jokingly refer to themselves as terrifying upright apes?

Because humans have an overwhelming advantage over other animals.

Even without the aid of tools, they can hunt down the vast majority of creatures on Earth using only their physical abilities and intelligence.

They might get hurt, but it will definitely be the other wild beasts that die.

The appearance of spiritual energy can make weaker life forms stronger and stronger life forms even stronger. Humans may not be as powerful as tigers, cheetahs, lions, black bears, and other ferocious beasts in this respect, but compared to the vast majority of creatures, their improvement is much greater.

Moreover, their strength lies not only in themselves, but also in their technology, which is the foundation upon which humanity has established its dominant position on Earth.

With their mastery of technology, no matter how much those mutated creatures mutated, they could never be a match for humans. Not to mention that the treasures brought by the dimensional invasion all originated from human imagination, and only humans could unleash the power of these treasures.

Now that Su Mengyao is saying that their purpose in doing this is to help the students adapt, how could he possibly believe it?

Aside from truly untouched wilderness and nature reserves, is it possible for wild beasts like tigers and lions to appear in cities?
Or is it that the mutated wild animals in the zoo will escape and attack humans?

"That is indeed the case now, but as the spiritual energy revival deepens, a spiritual energy tide will appear in the future; and once the spiritual energy tide occurs, the rich spiritual energy will cause tremendous changes to all life forms with potential on the entire Blue Star."

"For those without aptitude, it simply means their bodies are nourished, allowing them to live longer, without any fundamental change; but for those with aptitude, the power of their awakened abilities becomes much stronger, and their bodies even spontaneously absorb spiritual energy from the air, growing stronger over time."

"This applies to humans, and it applies to other races as well."

"Unlike humans, who have a stable order and rules, nature is much crueler. Those life forms without the necessary qualities will be quickly eliminated, leaving only those with talent."

"At that time, these mutated creatures may not be much to those with superpowers, but to ordinary people, they will be no different from wild beasts and will be easily killed."

"You need to understand that for the Great Xia, the death of one person is no small matter, let alone the casualties of ten, a hundred, or even a thousand people."

"Human technology is indeed powerful, but what is the point of killing the mutated creatures that attacked humans afterward? For the dead, their lives have already ended."
