Chapter 120: Ancient Chaos!
[You naturally don't know that your momentary strategy has caused countless changes in the prehistoric world, and even the three tribes were almost taken away by the waves you created and ascended to heaven on the spot.]
[At this moment, you are busy with another important matter...]
In the southern wilderness, a small volcano.
Jiao Ming, who had already proclaimed himself the "ancestor", was actually a little panicked at this moment:
"Quack quack!"
"Ouch!"
"Whoa, whoa..."
With the small volcano as the center point, looking around, it was really bustling in all directions. After obtaining this indescribable wisdom, all kinds of birds, beasts, and scaly aquatic creatures cheered and jumped for joy. The scene was extremely chaotic.
When they have no intelligence, they are just wild beasts and can't make much noise. But after they gain intelligence, they are like newborn babies and find everything they see new and interesting.
And the power of these "babies" is just that great...
Thus, this small volcano turned into a kindergarten classroom, which was unorganized, undisciplined, and even had no educational quality. It was just like a group of wild children!
Jiao Ming had only been concerned with enlightenment before, and had not thought of teaching. Now, seeing this chaotic scene everywhere, he was overwhelmed and had a bad premonition in his heart:
"It seems...something is wrong..."
In his opinion, the slavery system passed down by Zu Feng was purely harmful. After all, it enslaved all living things, and blood, tears and bones were spread all over the world, which was really infuriating!
Therefore, Jiao Ming did not think about establishing slavery at the beginning. Being a simple-minded person, he just thought that it would be enough if everyone was free.
But now that he has truly experienced this mind-numbing chaos, Jiao Ming suddenly starts to doubt himself:
This... seems even worse than slavery...
At least under slavery, all spirits were organized and not as chaotic as they are now.
And back then, Zufeng did not just establish slavery. At the same time, it also created the "Bird God Creation of the World Myth" to unite people's hearts and establish a power system with itself as the core.
There are also languages and writing to facilitate communication, ethics and morals to maintain order, and laws and so on.
And I... seemed to have taken too big a step, and was only focused on having fun, but I didn't promote civilization and order at all...
"It shouldn't be a big problem...right?"
……
[Under your willful enlightenment, the prehistoric world finally ushered in a new era where all things have spirits. However, due to your inaction, the fire of civilization that matches spiritual wisdom has not been ignited yet...]
[This is a very terrifying thing, because spiritual wisdom without order will not only not bring any benefit to all living things, but will instead encourage barbarism and rampage! ]
[In the absence of order, living creatures will only gradually obey the instinct of "the strong preying on the weak". There is no need for Zufeng and others to teach them. Slavery will naturally appear...]
[In order to compete for resources and satisfy desires, the strong will oppress the weak, and the weak will wield their swords against the weaker ones.]
[An era of great chaos and darkness has arrived! ]
【…】
[This era is no longer the stage for the three tribes, it belongs to the chaotic myriad spirits. War, slavery and death are the themes of this era, so it is called "Ancient Chaos"! ]
[You opened a brand new era, but did not have time to grasp it, and the era developed barbarically, causing all living things to suffer more miserable suffering than being enslaved by the three tribes...]
[In this time of chaos, the three ancient tribes, the protagonists of the original era, are now in a precarious situation! ]
……
Southern wilderness, big volcano.
Zu Feng looked at his second generation phoenixes with an unpleasant expression. Amid their anxiety, Zu Feng asked dryly:
"What are the results?"
The Phoenixes looked at each other in bewilderment, but they dared not hide the information, so they had to bite the bullet and report it one by one:
"To the Patriarch, this is not going well..."
"To the clan leader, I have never snatched them..."
"Chief, it's not that we don't work hard, but..."
Zu Feng:......
It suddenly didn't want to listen anymore, and its heart was filled with despair:
Who the hell is this guy?
"Clan leader..."
As one of the leaders of the second generation, Suzaku suddenly summoned up the courage to comfort Zufeng:
"Why should the clan leader worry? They are just slaves. We can just get rid of them..."
"Yes, Chief!" Qingluan, who was also a second-generation phoenix, also comforted it:
"And we don't have to raise all the slaves ourselves, right? We can capture those who have already been raised as slaves, it's the same thing..."
"Ah! In my opinion, we should just kill them all. When only the wild beasts are left, we can then enlighten them ourselves!"
"Yep!"
Everyone offered suggestions to Zu Feng and put forward many truly feasible recommendations.
But Zu Feng did not accept any of them. He just waved his wings to disperse the birds and squatted alone on the crater, thinking blankly about the life of a bird:
To it, slaves are not just for enslavement, they are also necessary consumables for it to reach a higher level.
But now...
"It's all over."
Zu Feng murmured to himself:
One's own slaves can die at will, but other people's slaves cannot die at will...
……
[The development of things has completely exceeded your control. The second generation of myriad spirits you have awakened have already spread to all parts of the prehistoric world at an exponential rate.]
[Not only are you unable to control them, even the three ancestors are helpless. Facing you, who suddenly jumped out to steal their jobs, the three ancestors secretly cursed your ancestors for eighteen generations, but they can't do anything except compete with you in internal competition and efficiency of enlightenment, and they don't even dare to massacre you...]
"?"
Zhao Si, who had been peeking at the screen, was completely confused:
"The three tribes...are they so bad?"
Originally, he expected that Jiao Ming's enlightenment would be able to limit and prevent the future war among the three tribes.
After all, it was only in the later stages of the war that the three ancestors personally started the massacre. Apart from that, most of the time the three tribes’ war was just a fight between middle and lower-level slaves. The cultivation levels of the slaves participating in the war ranged from the True Immortal level to the Mysterious Immortal level, and the quality of the war was really not high.
In contrast to the "Battle of Eastern Wasteland" fought between Jin Bing and Di Jiang, at that time, except for nearly 300 Daluo Jinxians, the remaining 1.4 million troops were all peak Xuanxians, and there were also many Jinxians and Taiyis.
To be honest, the quality of the three tribes’ war was not even as good as the fight between the miscellaneous soldiers in the East Wasteland Battle...
Therefore, when the ancestors of the three tribes refused to take action, Jiao Ming could completely use the spirits he had enlightened to stop the war among the three tribes.
But Zhao Si never expected that the three tribes could be so bad. Before Jiao Ming, the old ancestor with high expectations but poor skills, could even start to operate, the three tribes were about to be defeated!
"Just because we enlightened the wild beast first, the three tribes can't hold on?"
Zhao Si scratched his head:
Can't they just start slaughtering? Anyway, the three ancestors are all Golden Immortals. If they really want to slaughter them, the spirits enlightened by Jiao Ming will have no ability to resist.
unless……
"Unless the slaughter is harmful!"
Zhao Si couldn't help but recall several doubts from the previous round of simulations:
Why were the three tribes confined to the middle and lower levels in the early and middle stages of the war?
Why did the Third Ancestor, who clearly had the power to decide the outcome, hesitate to take the field?
Why, even though Luohou had already started to massacre the three tribes, the three ancestors were still unwilling to stop the war, but instead intensified the intensity of the war and forced the slaves who no longer wanted to fight to continue to die?
These abnormal doubts all point to one key point:
"Why would you let your own slaves die?"
The only answer is that there are benefits to dying. For the Third Ancestor, it seems that the more slaves die, the better...
Furthermore, these slaves could not die at their own hands, but had to be killed by other families, otherwise the benefits would disappear.
"What kind of theory is this?"
The more Zhao Si thought about it, the more difficult it became for him to understand the Third Ancestor's train of thought.
But for now, this theory does not need to be understood. Zhao Si only needs to know that the reason why the Third Ancestor does not dare to massacre Jiao Ming's "descendants" is because of this inexplicable theory:
It seems that once Jiao Ming's "descendants" are slaughtered, it will bring some benefits to Jiao Ming.
Therefore, the Third Ancestor would rather keep his head down and fight internally than dare to use this external tactic...
"Benefits, what exactly are they?"
Zhao Si frowned and analyzed carefully:
Judging from the previous round of simulation, the so-called benefits are probably reflected in the aspect of cultivation.
Hongjun and the Three Ancestors were both born divine, but the Three Ancestors were superior to Hongjun. This could certainly be explained by aptitude and understanding, but the gap was too big. One Zufeng could beat at least three Hongjuns...
So Zhao Si can basically confirm one thing:
“Although I still don’t understand the underlying principle, the logic at least makes sense. The reason why these three ancestors sent their bloodline slaves to die is because they can help the ancestors improve their cultivation after death!”
Now, it depends on when Jiao Ming can discover this truth...
