Chapter 168 The future of the future!
[Jiao Ming is dead, but he is still alive, just as the Three Pure Ones are Pangu, but Pangu is not the Three Pure Ones.]

[He is Jiao Ming, but Jiao Ming is not him, and he is not you...]

[A top-level master of great magical powers fell silently, but no one except Hongjun realized this. You still live in everyone's cognition.]

[The Taoist companion Zu Feng was not abandoned, and the three adopted daughters and adopted sons did not feel that their adoptive father was any different, and none of their interpersonal and social relationships were affected by this.]

【Everyone has a perfect future! 】

[Except you...]

[With the establishment of the Heavenly Dao, under His "creation out of nothing", all kinds of resources that were originally lacking in the prehistoric world were regenerated in an endless stream, and a large number of natural treasures were once again born. The increasingly withered earth veins were also boosted again, and the abundant spiritual energy of heaven and earth made the world look brand new! ]

[Faced with this unexpected "spiritual energy revival", the originally overwhelmed Di Jun was very surprised, but he immediately remembered what you said back then, so he was even more amazed: "Father really has a way!"]

[With sufficient resources supplied, the Heavenly Court immediately began to suppress prices. The various market prices that had been high for dozens of Yuanhui suddenly dropped and stabilized, causing the people to be confused: How did the economy revive again? ]

[But no matter what, this is a good thing. The market is gradually stabilizing, and everyone's life will be better. Everyone's face is filled with joy. Sufficient cultivation resources mean that everything will be better, and everyone will no longer have to fight over things. ]

[In this way, the public security and the increasingly corrupt social atmosphere have also improved. With the careful governance of the Heavenly Court, the prehistoric world has once again ushered in a prosperous era, and it is a nearly eternal prosperous era! ]

[During this prosperous era, the Emperor of Heaven used his secret blood to enlighten all kinds of spirits. The birds and beasts finally gained their own true spirits. Under the active education of the Heavenly Court, they successfully integrated into the collective concept of "demons", changing the isolated situation of the dragon clan being the only one in power! ]

[Enlightening all living beings, with immeasurable merits, the roots of the Heavenly Court are becoming more and more stable...]

[After several eons, Hongjun finally gained the support of Heaven as the "Benefactor of Heaven", and killed the three corpses of good, evil and justice. Each of the three corpses entered the interior of Heaven with a part of their true spirit, thus gaining the power of Heaven and becoming the first quasi-sage in the prehistoric world.]

[If one corpse is killed, one can become a quasi-saint. If two corpses are killed, one can become a quasi-saint at the peak. If all three corpses are killed, Hongjun's true spirit will be entrusted to the Way of Heaven. With the power of the Way of Heaven, he can indirectly refine the primordial world and become a saint! ]

[The saint has come to the world, and the world has officially turned a new page...]

[However, none of the above has anything to do with you. After you break free of your true spirit from the system, your fate is already determined: no matter what, complete death will befall you.]

[Happiness belongs to others, to all spirits, to the wild... but it is not yours. You have sacrificed everything you have, sacrificed 99% of your true spirit to the way of heaven, and sacrificed the remaining one point of your true spirit to your relatives and friends, and you have completely perished from now on.]

[The Heavenly Dao is not you, Jiao Ming is not you either, only "he" and "Him" are left in the prehistoric world...]

[Changes in the world require sacrifices and offerings. You push the established world into another path of development, and the sacrifice is yourself! ]

[Here, the way of heaven is no longer the same, so there will no longer be conflicts between the human race and the demons, nor will there be remnants of the three races. Thanks to your efforts, the prehistoric world that Di Jun took over is a more equal prehistoric world than the eternal prehistoric world of Jin Bing! ]

[The eternal prosperity has arrived, until the future of the future...]

【…】

[You died. The wrong choice led to the wrong ending... You saw through the truth and falsehood that you shouldn't have seen, which led to a confrontation with the players' three views. You resolutely paid the price of your life to achieve freedom and fly solo, trying your best to save the people and things in this world. ]

[You sought benevolence and you got it. Your true spirit was sacrificed to the wilderness, and thus you died completely... As the protagonist, you jumped out of the protagonist's perspective and saw through this unknowable secret, which resulted in you being unable to achieve a perfect ending in the next life, and you can only be trapped in this imperfect life.]

[But you don't regret it, because you have done the best in this life. Faced with the contradiction between sacrifice and enlightenment, you don't want all living beings to sacrifice, nor do you want the world to fall into the abyss without enlightened people... But the contradiction is irreconcilable.]

[So after weighing the pros and cons many times, you painfully made the necessary sacrifice decision to avoid an even darker abyss ending! ]

[But even if you make a choice, you still don't want to have as many victims as in the original plot, so you can only use yourself to fill in the gap. ]

[However, your only mistake in this plan was to misjudge your own spiritual energy: you thought you were at most at the level of an Ancestral Dragon, but you didn't expect that you greatly underestimated yourself. You are at least at the level of three Ancestral Dragons, half the level of Pangu! ]

[You made a wrong move and saved less spiritual energy equivalent to two ancestral dragons...]

[But no matter what, the number of people you sacrificed in this life is far less than the three-tribe war and Luohou's massacre in the original plot. Although it is not perfect, it is the best you can do. ]

[Ding! This round of simulation has collected enough information, this round of simulation has been completed, and is returning to the initial node...]

[Ding! Evaluating this round of simulation...]

Jiao Ming's life was completely over, and he never had the chance to start over again. He did not get the perfect ending like Jin Bing III.

"But... why did he also create an eternal wilderness?"

After reading it, Zhao Si sighed at Jiao Ming's death, but was also very surprised:
"Why aren't there any demons here? Jiao Ming hasn't done anything related to humans!"

[Ding! The player has fallen into a misunderstanding. To resolve the conflict between monsters and humans, you don’t need to do endless pasting like Jin Bing did. As long as the fundamental reason for the supremacy of the human race is resolved, the conflict between monsters and humans will naturally be resolved, and then it will become an eternal wilderness.]

Ok?
Hearing this, Zhao Si frowned and thought:
The fundamental reason for the supremacy of the human race... "Heavenly Way?!"

Zhao Si suddenly realized:
Although I still don’t understand the specific principles of human supremacy, this contradiction is essentially caused by the Way of Heaven, so changing the Way of Heaven is naturally equivalent to eliminating the contradiction.

The original way of heaven should be composed of the true spirits of all spirits sacrificed in the war between the three tribes and the massacre by Luohou, as well as the innate sacred true spirits of the three ancestors, Qiankun Yin and Yang, and Luohou (Hongjun).

The current Heavenly Dao is composed of the true spirits of some Qilin and dragon creatures, plus the true spirits of the Ancestral Qilin, Ancestral Dragon, the three red dragon brothers, Qiankun Yin and Yang, and Jiao Ming. Among them, the true spirit of Jiao Ming alone is half of Pangu's!
Although both are heavenly ways, their components are completely different.

"So, while Jiao Ming changed the components of the Heavenly Dao, he also changed some fundamental reasons why the Heavenly Dao favored the human race... This is why it directly became the Eternal Wilderness."

After understanding this, Zhao Si also felt sorry for Jiao Ming:
"Not only did you save a lot of lives in the prehistoric world, you also solved a big problem for the future... You planted willows by accident and they grew into a forest."

Zhao Si counted the deaths along Jiao Ming's line:
The deaths directly caused by Jiao Ming himself were actually very few. There were only three brothers, Ancestral Qilin, Ancestral Dragon, and Red Dragon, as well as those Dragon Kings from various places who insisted on fighting. The Dragon Kings were the second generation of the dragon clan, and their total number was not large to begin with. Moreover, Heavenly Court also recruited two or three thousand Dragon Kings, so there were not many casualties.

The total number of people he killed was only more than a thousand people, but he was too cruel in order to deter war, and he would use the Golden Crow's True Fire to burn people to death. In addition, the quality of these dead was extremely high, and each of them was the second generation of Taiyi Golden Immortal, so he was named "the most evil god in the prehistoric times."

None of these people are innocent!
The only people who were not killed by him were those who were slaughtered by Hongjun who secretly controlled part of the Qilin tribe, and those who were slaughtered by Qiankun Yinyang.

Calculated by the true spiritual energy, the three known ancestors have a total of 0.5 Pangu.

In the original plot, the number of people who died in the war between the three tribes and the number of people killed by Luohou added together is exactly equivalent to one Pangu/Tiandao. The three ancestors themselves are half a Pangu, and Qiankun, Yinyang, and Luohou together are less than one Zulong.

Therefore, the total number of casualties in the original plot is 1.7 standard Pangus/Tiandao, of which ordinary creatures account for the level of one Pangu.

If we remove Jiao Ming III, the total casualties would be only about 0.8 Pangu. If we remove the 0.5 Pangu combined of Ancestral Dragon, Ancestral Qilin, Qiankun, Yinyang and the three brothers Red Dragon, the casualties of ordinary creatures would be less than 0.3 Pangu.

Comparing the two, Jiao Ming reduced the casualties of ordinary creatures by 0.7 Pangu. From this point of view, although Jiao Ming's life is not perfect, it is much better than the original plot!
“But I have a question… Why is Jiao Ming’s spiritual energy alone equal to half of Pangu’s energy calculated by the three ancestors?!”

Zhao Si scratched his head:

"Isn't he just an ordinary little bird? The three ancestors are worth 0.5 Pangu in total, and he alone is worth the sum of the three ancestors..."

[Because although Jiao Ming is an ordinary bird, as the simulated protagonist, he is born to be enlightened by the system, so his true spirit is extremely large, so he can enlighten any living being. ]

"That's it..."

Zhao Si's eyes turned:
"It is known that the second generation of beings enlightened by the Three Ancestors have less true spirit than the Three Ancestors themselves, and the true spirit of ordinary creatures enlightened by the second generation of beings is even less... and the system can enlighten half of Pangu, so can I assume that the system's foundation is more powerful than Pangu?"

【…】

It doesn't speak anymore.

Zhao Si was certain in his heart, it seemed that he had guessed correctly:

This mysterious system, which can infinitely reopen the ancient world, is essentially using Pangu's method of "creating something out of nothing".

The so-called simulation actually means that it creates something out of nothing. If the simulation fails, the creation out of nothing will fail, and this round of primitive world will return to nothingness.

If the simulation is successful, then this round of primitive world will become real and become a real world.

For example, in Jin Bing’s second-generation simulation, the primitive world on the other side is still invading Zhao Si’s primitive world fragments, which means that this is already true!
"If the inference is true, then there are now a total of five prehistoric worlds, three in Jin Bing's three generations, and two in Jiao Ming's three generations. One of them is not independent, but grafted onto Jin Bing's eternal prehistoric world..."

Zhao Si silently calculated:
Why did the system keep these five primitives? As more and more simulations are conducted, more and more primitives will be preserved. What on earth does it want to do?

[Ding! This round of settlement evaluation has been completed, the evaluation is: high! ]

"higher?"

The system's prompt interrupted Zhao Si's wild thoughts. Looking at the word "higher", he was extremely expectant:
"Higher...what's the reward?"

[Ding! The prize for this round is: "The Golden Crow True Fire from you!"]

Wow, he sent it back twice in a row. Is this really just a way of offering gifts to Buddha?
Seeing that he was still angry, Zhao Si's mouth twitched and he was about to complain.

But then his eyes widened:
[“Golden Crow True Fire from You”: A ball of Golden Crow Original True Fire given by the Great Desolation Heavenly Dao. Because it is contaminated with the power of Heavenly Dao, it is specially advanced to the “Origin Level”!
Nothing can escape burning, the might of Heaven! It can draw on some of the power of the Great Heaven to fight the enemy, entrusting Heaven with a favor to an important part of itself! 】
