Chat group: Living in a fantasy world, investing in countless realms

Xiaomai: "I think Su Xiaoxiao is right. Girls can be cute even if they're a little shy."

Asuna: "[Facepalm]"

Su Xiaoxiao: "[Speechless] If Xiaomai wants to watch, she can watch. Don't use me as a shield."

Fahai: "I've finished reading it, and all I want to do is spout nonsense!"

Fahai: "This is utter slander!"

Su Xiaoxiao: "Is something wrong?"

Fahai: "Of course not. The world on my side is different from what everyone imagines. Mount Ling and the Heavenly Court have long since collapsed!"

Umaru: "That's not right. I remember the Master just borrowed the power of the Eight Heavenly Dragons, right? Mount Ling collapsed, can the power of the Eight Heavenly Dragons still be borrowed?"

Fahai: "Indeed, no. However, I borrowed the power of the Eight Heavenly Dragons as imagined by the believers! The real Eight Heavenly Dragons ceased to exist long ago."

Fahai: "In my world, about five hundred years ago, a great upheaval occurred in the Three Realms. Immortals perished, and Mount Ling collapsed. Since then, the world has been ruled by demons."

Fahai: "Jinshan Temple is one of the few places of cultivation in the human world. Together with other cultivation forces, it has been struggling to keep the human race from extinction."

Bai Suzhen: "Mount Ling has collapsed?"

Xiao Bai: "Even immortals and gods have fallen?"

Su Xiaoxiao: "That's unlikely, isn't it?"

Fahai: "As for the reason, I'm not quite sure either. At that time, my cultivation level was low, and I couldn't access information at this level at all. The Great Mighty Heavenly Dragon Mantra and the Ksitigarbha Mantra that you see were also improved at that time."

Fahai: "With the loss of divine protection and the rise of demons, the cultivation forces at that time turned their attention to the power of incense offerings. This '513' power is extremely mysterious. As long as one refines a Buddha statue or a deity statue and collects incense offerings, one can still condense the supernatural powers of the relevant deities. It is the greatest foundation of the human race."

Fahai: "Thanks to this, the human race has been able to keep the demon race's power at bay and ensure the peace of the human nation."

Fahai: "Aren't you curious why I have a dragon tattooed on my back?"

Umaru: "I'm curious. I heard that only frivolous people in ancient times got this tattoo!"

Hu Yifei: "That's correct. Tattoos were originally created for punishment."

Wanwan: "In ancient times, even the landowner wouldn't want to get this tattooed on their body unless they were completely resigned to their fate and willing to spend their life in the lowest of the low, so they would get a tattoo to intimidate others."

Fahai: "Yes, even landowners are unwilling to have the Eight Heavenly Dragons tattooed on their land, so why would monks like it? It's all out of necessity. The ink used to tattoo the Eight Heavenly Dragons isn't ordinary ink either; it's ink refined with the power of incense, making it easier to unleash supernatural powers."

Fahai: "Before the collapse of Mount Ling, there was no need for such trouble. As long as you worship the Bodhisattvas and Buddhas and cultivate to a certain level, you can borrow the power of gods and Buddhas with a single thought!"

Zhang Sanfeng: "Daoist Master, what do you think?"

Zhang Taixuan: "Upon calculation, it is indeed as Master Fahai said; Mount Ling and the Heavenly Court no longer exist on his side!"

Umaru: "It's really true?"

Fahai: "That's why, every time I go out to slay demons and subdue monsters, where do I have time to distinguish between good and evil demons? When they enter human kingdoms, who can guarantee that they won't disrupt the current incense offering system? There's no such thing as deliberate targeting. Because the current consensus is that we absolutely cannot allow demons to appear in the heart of human territory. Otherwise, if the incense offering system for humans changes, then humans will be lambs to the slaughter."

Xiao Bai: "I see. If that's the case, then I can understand. The race is already in dire straits, and it's impossible for them to distinguish between good and bad demons like they did when humans were in power."

Bai Suzhen: "The human race must be suffering too much in the world on Master's side."

Fahai: "Alas, if it were just the absence of gods and Buddhas, that would be fine. Unfortunately, there is still the threat of the demon race. Humans are indeed suffering more than other worlds."

Xiaomai: "[Shocked] Master, you actually said something like that? Aren't you a Buddhist?"

Su Xiaoxiao: "You actually said it's better without gods and Buddhas?"

Fahai: "Although I am a monk, I am also a human being. As a human being, I have my own thoughts. I have also thought that if there were no gods or Buddhas or demons in the world, the lives of humankind would be much better."

Zhang Sanfeng: "I'm afraid even without the demon race, the human situation wouldn't change much. Humans are very good at killing each other."

Zhu Yuanzhang: "I can attest to this. The world has never become bad simply because there are demons. Even without demons, people's hearts will still change the world."

Hu Yifei: "I have a popular saying here—what's more terrifying than demons is the human heart!"

Fahai: "It seems every world has its own problems. Even without demons, there are still human desires and all sorts of things. No wonder Buddha always said—all beings suffer!"

Zhong Suqiu: "Daojun, since Master Fahai has encountered this problem, can we pass on the Immortal Martial Arts to him? With the Immortal Martial Arts, demons shouldn't be a problem, right?"

Umaru: "Yeah, we have Daojun!"

Ye Hei: "With Daojun around, Master Fahai doesn't seem to need to be so pessimistic."

Zhang Taixuan: "[Cold sweat] Haven't you all thought of one thing? How did the immortals fall? How did Mount Ling collapse?"

Bai Suzhen: "Does my husband mean that the path of immortality and martial arts cannot change that world?"

Han Paopao: "Could it be due to spiritual energy again?"

Fahai: "??"

Zhang Taixuan: "Master Fahai can go and take a look at the spiritual energy theory we uploaded before... and then he will know the reason."

Zhang Taixuan: "Your guess is correct. The changes in the Green Serpent World are indeed due to the divine calamity!"

Zhang Sanfeng: "The calamity of the gods is so terrifying that there isn't even a single god left?"

Su Xiaoxiao: "Even the Investiture of the Gods isn't this terrifying, it just sends people onto the Investiture of the Gods list!"

Zhang Taixuan: "The terror of the divine calamity varies entirely depending on the world. If a world considers gods and Buddhas to be a cancer on its soil, then it will eliminate them all without exception!"

Zhang Taixuan: "The reason why the Heavenly Court and Mount Ling collapsed in the Green Serpent World in an instant is this. Heaven and Earth themselves have taken action! If it weren't for the fact that the cultivators in the mortal world were too weak, they would probably not have been able to escape the upheaval of heaven and earth and would have perished in this calamity."

Fahai: "Daojun's calculations are correct!!! In that great upheaval, all the high-level cultivators in the mortal realm perished. It turned out to be a calamity of heaven and earth. This, this... the legendary calamity of heaven and earth is too terrifying! It simply leaves no way out."

Zhang Taixuan: "The reason why there are still human cultivators in the Green Serpent World is quite simple—most cultivators borrow the power of incense offerings, which is connected to the fortune of the human race. The human race is the 3.0 race used by heaven and earth to evolve civilization, that is, the so-called protagonist of heaven and earth!"

Umaru: "The protagonist of heaven and earth? Does that mean there's still a chance?"

Zhang Taixuan: "The protagonist of heaven and earth is not eternal. When you are useful, you are the protagonist of heaven and earth; when you are no longer useful, heaven and earth can abandon you. You should have heard of the legends of the primordial era. Before the human race, who was the protagonist of heaven and earth?"

Su Xiaoxiao: "The Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin clans, the Demon Clan, the Witch Clan..."

Fahai: "What Daojun means is—if cultivators are always linked to the human race, even the human race will suffer and lose its position as the protagonist of heaven and earth. This… why is heaven and earth so relentlessly forcing us? If the human race has no cultivators, won't the demon race treat the human race as food? Where will the future of the human race be then?!"

Chapter 291 Heaven and Earth are ruthless, treating all things like straw dogs (7/7, please subscribe)

Bai Suzhen: "As a snake demon, I know those demons too well. Sigh, if such a thing really happened, they would probably actually do something like keeping humans as food."

Xiao Bai: "+1, but what do we do now? It seems that the world over there is quite wary of cultivators. If we go there to help, we might be targeted."

The Spirit Lord said, "Although I am just a Qilin, not a human, I am still a sacred beast. I don't want humans to be eaten! Ugh, I'm so angry! Is there any way to change this?"

Xiao Sang: "Xiao Sang is the same. Although I am a demon, I am not of the same kind as those raw-eating, blood-drinking creatures! It's a pity that I probably can't go and help them."

Zhang Taixuan: "Heaven and earth are relentlessly pressuring you? Uh... Master, you've got it backwards."

Fahai: "? Rebellion?"

Bai Suzhen: "I don't understand."

Lin Daiyu: "I didn't understand either."

Kaguya Shinomiya: "Me too."

Zhang Taixuan: "It's not that Heaven and Earth are forcing humanity, but that humanity is forcing Heaven. The cataclysm was originally Heaven's way of cleansing the cultivation world and preparing to re-evolve another path of cultivation. But—He had just wiped out all the high-level cultivators, and the human race immediately came up with the idea of ​​using the power of incense to replace spiritual energy, and developed a new cultivation system."

Zhang Taixuan: "Humans are too clever; even the Heavenly Dao is dumbfounded. If the old cultivation system isn't eliminated, how can it evolve a new cultivation civilization?"

Umaru: "He could have evolved like this, right?"

Hu Yifei: "No, there's a saying that goes, 'A blank sheet of paper is easy to paint on.' The evolution of a civilization by the Heavenly Dao must be very costly. Any interference will affect its evolution, so it should eliminate all unstable factors."

Zhang Taixuan: "That's right, that's about it."

Fahai: "So it's because everyone is too smart?! What about the demon race?"

Zhang Taixuan: "The demon race, it must have been the same back then, with most of the great demons dead, right?"

Fahai: "That's true."

Zhang Taixuan: "After that, the appearance of great demons should only have happened after the human race had some powerful figures, right?"

Fahai: "It seems that it really is!!"

Zhang Taixuan: "High-level cultivators can be completely wiped out by the Heavenly Dao through the Divine Immortal Slaughter Tribulation. However, the current strongmen of the human race are connected with the fate of the human race. As long as they do not want to abandon the human race as the protagonist of heaven and earth, they will not take action personally. With a single thought from them, heaven and earth could collapse and shatter, ruining the protagonist of heaven and earth."

Zhang Taixuan: "Therefore, if we want to eliminate those in the human race who practice the path of incense offerings, we have no choice but to rely on the demon race."

Su Xiaoxiao: "Thinking about it this way, the world is really in a difficult position. It took five hundred years to eliminate the virus, but human cultivators are getting stronger and stronger!"

Zhang Sanfeng: "Humans are truly amazing. With their wisdom, they played a game of chess with the Heavenly Dao, although this also caused the Heavenly Dao to almost overturn the table."

Fahai: "So that's how it is. No wonder there are more experts among the human race than among the demon race. It turns out that the Heavenly Dao is manipulating the demon race behind the scenes, trying to eliminate us."

Fahai: "Doesn't this mean that if the human race hadn't continued its incense-based cultivation system, the demon race would have also perished in the calamity of the gods?"

Zhang Taixuan: "That's right. It's precisely because the human race stood in the way of the evolution of the Heavenly Dao that the demon race appeared as the executioner."

Fahai: “…”

Lin Daiyu: "Heaven and earth are ruthless, treating all things like straw dogs. This is indeed true."

Ye Hei: "Uh... Miss Lin, doesn't this mean that heaven and earth view all things and all living beings as equal?"

Lin Daiyu: "So you've forgotten the 'heaven and earth' mentioned in that sentence? All living beings are naturally equal in the eyes of heaven and earth. But heaven and earth are high above!"
