Chapter 194 Strategic Change, Xuanxian!
The prehistoric world has entered the Dharma Ending Age, and in order to continue the path of immortality, the only option is to take the evil path of cannibalism.

So is the thirty-three heavens really a worry-free wonderland?

Zhao Si is also thinking about this question:
"After all the perpetual motion machines disappeared inexplicably, the prehistoric world could only slide into the abyss of the Dharma Ending Age. The Thirty-Three Heavens, as the capital of heaven, is ultimately also a part of the prehistoric world, so resource conflicts are inevitable!"

This is certain, so the legends of the fairyland that have been circulating in the ancient times are basically not credible.

If Xue Xiaohei, a wild man over 500 years old, could figure this out, couldn't countless genuine immortals throughout history figure it out?
Zhao Si couldn't help but think of Xue Xiaohei's parents:

Don’t they know that the paradise advocated by the immortals is extremely unrealistic?
Few people are fools. The mortals who choose to go to the paradise are not unaware that the paradise is unreliable, but they have no choice!
Natural disasters and man-made calamities came together in the mortal world. People were already struggling on the brink of death, so they had nothing to fear. It was just one death anyway, so they might as well take a gamble. What if they won the gamble...

Of course, the reality is that they lost the bet.

There is no essential difference between monks and mortals in terms of thought, so they will also expect things that sound unrealistic, just like mortals.

The desperate people in the Dharma-Ending Age are not just ordinary people. The monks who are forced to eat human flesh are actually very desperate as well.

Therefore, Xue Xiaohei's speculation about the horror of the fairy world is not unreasonable.

but……

"But you overlooked a core issue!"

Zhao Si's thinking was clearer than Xue Xiaohei, the person in charge, and he discovered the loophole in his theory in an instant:
"The despair of mortals is the despair of life and death. The despair of monks is also the despair of life and death. Because they cannot live forever, they always take risks and choose to take a gamble. If they win, they live, and if they lose, they die."

"But immortals are different. True immortals are immortal. Even if they face a resource crisis, it is not fatal. As long as there is a strong regime to control them, immortals can live in peace!"

This is just like the myriad monsters in Jiao Ming's third life. When the Heavenly Dao had not yet been born, the monsters fought endlessly for resources, so much so that Jiao Ming tried to use personal violence to stop the war.

But after the establishment of the Heavenly Court, the originally fierce war for resources was suddenly calmed down. This was certainly because the Heavenly Court allocated the prehistoric resources to the greatest extent, but more of it was the result of the Heavenly Court's violent suppression.

After all, no one is not afraid of death. The purpose of the Ten Thousand Demons' cultivation is to live a better life. Therefore, as long as they feel the real threat of death, between improving their cultivation and continuing their lives, they will definitely choose the latter...

Why did Jiao Ming’s violent suppression fail?

Because he is not violent enough, he only kills the main culprits and does not discipline the civilians. Then the civilians will think that they can't die anyway, so they might as well continue to make trouble...

"So, as long as there is an absolutely violent organization in the fairy world, the basic order can be guaranteed, and the big fish will not eat the small fish... Your guess is a bit too extreme."

To sum up, Xue Xiaohei's guess is indeed reasonable, but it is not entirely correct. It is actually quite extreme to rashly harbor such malice towards the fairy world.

But...Xue Xiaohei is an extremist to begin with, so it's normal for him to make such malicious speculations...

Zhao Si pondered:

"Now it depends on whether the fairy world has order. If it does, the situation won't be so bad, and we won't have to waste a lot of time on trivial matters like slaughter that are useless to the overall situation."

If Xue Xiaohei really wants to kill them one by one, there will be a lot of waiting.

After wandering around for five hundred years, he had only conquered less than one trillionth of the land in the Western Wilderness. If he wanted to conquer all of the Primordial Wilderness, he would need at least several thousand, tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of Yuanhui...

There is really no need to waste so much time. Wasting time is one thing, but the main reason is that Zhao Si is afraid that his mentality will become old and he will become the second generation of Jiao Ming.

Don’t ruin such a standard ruthless protagonist!
"Instead of wasting time meaninglessly, it is better to go to the fairyland as soon as possible to find out what is going on. Life or death does not matter. He is used to dying anyway. Let's just lay the foundation for starting the second reincarnation."

Zhao Si's high-level thinking fully took into account the maximization of interests. If Xue Xiaohei could execute it, it would undoubtedly save tens of thousands of yuan from going astray.

But the problem is... this kid doesn't ask!
Maybe in his strategic plan, he really wanted to slaughter one country after another, so he didn't think he needed to bother his "other self" with such a small matter...

[Ding! It is detected that the player's desire to control the character is gradually increasing. The new system function has been enabled. You can give him instructions directly without having to passively wait for the character to ask! ]

Ok? !

Zhao Si widened his eyes:

“Is this… the new feature you updated last time?”

[Yes, you can turn passive into active and issue commands directly to the character in the future! ]

"Why didn't you tell me earlier? Why don't you just announce the function when there's an update? Why do you have to suddenly tell me when I need it..."

Zhao Si rolled his eyes. This dumb system was really frustrating!
However, this feature comes at just the right time.

When he was controlling Jin Bing and Jiao Ming in the past, these two guys gave him enough strength in the early stages. Jin Bing likes to do things in extremes, and Jiao Ming likes to be a headless fly.

Obviously, many troubles could be avoided, but because of the system's crappy passive help function, Zhao Si could only watch them fall into the pit, or increase the difficulty, or die again...

[But players please note that this function has certain limitations. You can only actively issue commands three times per round of simulation. The rest of the time remains the same! ]

"You can only use it three times in one round? That's fine!"

Although Zhao Si felt that this restriction was a bit ridiculous, after thinking about it, the three instructions were still extremely useful, and the protagonist could avoid many detours.

"Well, I'll give this kid instructions now!"

"I want him to give up his original plan to continue slaughtering people, and instead concentrate on cultivating into a Xuanxian, and then go directly to the Thirty-Three Heavens to find out the information there, so as to pave the way for the next life. The first life does not require one-step completion, but the accumulation of information!" [Ding! Your first active command of this round has been issued truthfully, and there are two chances left! ]

……

In the ancient times, there was a country in the Western Wilderness and the ruins of a cave.

When Xue Xiaohei raised malicious speculations about the immortal world, the originally calm and composed Taoist Jingxin was completely shaken:

After all, everyone has always said that the fairyland is a dream place, and he also believes in it. But now after Xue Xiaohei's well-reasoned analysis, he suddenly shudders...

Admittedly, this malicious conjecture is extreme and somewhat biased, but it is better to be safe than sorry.

And with this idea, we can indeed solve many doubts that have always existed!

Given that there can be no saints in the Immortal Realm, the Immortal Realm must also face the end of the Dharma Age like the prehistoric world. How the prehistoric cultivators survived should be similar to how the immortals in the Immortal Realm survived...

"So...are we going to continue to slaughter people in the wild like this?"

The confused Jingxin Taoist murmured, his plan had failed due to Xue Xiaohei's malicious speculation, and the only way forward was to continue slaughtering.

But... the vast and terrifying world made him feel powerless:

There is no end to the slaughter, there is no end to the slaughter...

Xue Xiaohei was also a little hesitant, because he had lost a lot of confidence in the past five hundred years. He didn't dare to rush into the unknown fairyland, but the boundless wilderness was indeed overwhelming.

But since he had chosen this path, he would continue on no matter how hard it was. If five hundred years was not enough, then five, fifty, five hundred… After all, immortals have an eternal lifespan, so he could grind slowly and eventually it would be over…

Just as he silently made up his mind to fill this bottomless pit, the command of "another self" suddenly emerged in his mind, and it gave him an iron rule that could not be violated in an absolute manner:

[Give up this bottomless pit, cultivate to become a Xuanxian first, and then go straight to the thirty-three heavens. Even if it's a sea of ​​fire and a mountain of swords, you have to rush in and find out what's going on! ]

Xue Xiaohei was stunned by this iron rule!
Because this was the first time that "another self" gave him a direct order, and he had never been given orders before, so he always felt weird about it.

Besides, if I follow this order, my plan will have to be greatly changed...

"But it doesn't matter!"

Xue Xiaohei's thoughts turned:
"Another self" is in a detached perspective, and everything about oneself is in his eyes. Since he suddenly ordered to terminate the plan, it means that one's current path is not the correct one.

By following his orders, you can completely avoid unnecessary detours.

Even if there was something wrong with the order, he would not have to bear the consequences himself, he would be fully responsible...

"it is good!"

Xue Xiaohei suddenly shouted, startling Jingxin Taoist and looking at him suspiciously:

"what happened?"

"There's a change of plan. We don't have to jump into this bottomless pit anymore!"

Xue Xiaohei said in a deep voice:

"When I break through to the Xuanxian realm, I will go directly to the Immortal Realm to see what the situation is there."

Ok?
The confused Jingxin Taoist could not keep up with his jumping thoughts. He was clearly just maliciously speculating that the fairy world also practiced cannibalism, so why did he decide to rush over now?

You guys have changed so much...

But he didn't care. He had already decided to follow the dragon, so it didn't matter if he died early or late.
"Okay! Then let's go to the fairyland!"

[The plan has changed suddenly, but both sides think it's okay. Since we are all in this business, life and death are not enough to scare you off! ]

[So you began to concentrate on your cultivation, preparing to break through to the Xuanxian realm, and no longer engage in meaningless slaughter...]

[If True Immortals were not even worthy of being cannon fodder in ancient times, and Heavenly Immortals were qualified to be ordinary cannon fodder, then Mysterious Immortals were qualified elite cannon fodder! ]

[Thinking back to the time when the Equal Heaven Court fought the Supreme Heaven Court, the entry-level cultivation level of both armies was Xuanxian. Even during the famous strategic turning point "Eastern Wasteland Battle", the Equal Heaven Court only invested 600,000 Xuanxian. Its gold content can be imagined. ]

[In this end of the immortal world, even the True Immortals are considered the ancestors of the prehistoric world. If you think about it carefully, even if there are many hidden dragons and crouching tigers in the immortal world, the Mysterious Immortals would not be particularly weak among them! ]

[In short, you practiced silently, and the innate spiritual energy continued to flow into your body from the colorful bird. At your bizarre practice speed, your celestial immortal cultivation gradually became complete...]

[When you were 560 years old, your vigorous celestial energy gradually became restrained until it became extremely profound. If you didn't look closely, you could hardly tell the difference between you and ordinary people. It was obvious that you had returned to your original nature.]

[You have officially reached the realm of Xuanxian! ]
