CHAPTER 1965: CHAPTER 1235: CHANGES (PART 2)

"Di Jun’s abilities require no further explanation. If he seeks revenge, it will be enough to plunge those fragment worlds into chaos for a time."

"At that moment, it will be my opportunity to act."

For some reason, Jiang Chen thought of Di Jun, and then he felt that the Chaos Demigod might be far easier to deal with than he imagined.

After all, with Di Jun as a hidden unstable factor plotting in the shadows, future disturbances in the fragment world are foreseeable.

And with Di Jun cooperating from within, Jiang Chen’s endeavor to prevent the recovery of the Chaos Demigod will undoubtedly become much easier.

The only regret is that, due to this matter, Jiang Chen finds it difficult to take action against Di Jun, having to let him live a little longer.

Compared to Taiyi, Di Jun is the greatest enemy of the Human Race. Not being able to personally execute him is truly a regret for Jiang Chen.

"Let Di Jun live a bit longer; consider it his act of atonement. After he’s atoned, it won’t be too late to kill him."

Thinking it over, Jiang Chen withdrew his gaze from Chaos and turned his attention to the Prehistoric World.

The issues related to Chaos cannot be resolved momentarily, so they are shelved for now. However, the matters of the Prehistoric World are immediate, with numerous tasks awaiting Jiang Chen.

Let’s not forget the Jade Emperor should return soon. Jiang Chen may possess the power of the Heavenly Emperor, but he doesn’t hold the title, and only temporarily manages the affairs of the Prehistoric World in place of the Jade Emperor.

He must wait for the Jade Emperor to return and officially pass the throne to Jiang Chen, at which point he would become the rightful Heavenly Emperor.

...

Lately, Jiang Chen has been so busy that he hasn’t paid attention to the changes in the Prehistoric World and the Human Race.

Therefore, when Jiang Chen gazed at the Prehistoric World, his sight naturally landed on the realm of the Human Race.

"The era has truly transformed, and the Human Race has undergone such earth-shattering changes that I almost didn’t recognize them."

The sight left Jiang Chen a bit stunned. Having not paid attention to the Human Race for millions of years, the sheer magnitude of their changes caught him off guard, to the point of almost not recognizing them.

The New Era Human Race has a new aura, completely different from the Old Era Human Race. In the Old Era, the Human Race primarily focused on cultivation. However, in the New Era, they simultaneously pursue technology and cultivation.

Of course, technology has just emerged and cannot yet rival cultivation civilization, but it has indeed gained some strength. While unable to slay supreme beings like Taiyi Daluo, it can still dispatch ordinary Immortal Persons.

Moreover, the dual pursuit of technology and cultivation has undoubtedly changed the life of the Human Race, making things much more convenient. More precisely, the scientific cultivation method has made early-stage training easier, thereby allowing the systematic nurturing of certain warriors.

"It was the lack of powerful individuals that led the Human Race to a bifurcated path towards developing technology."

After observing for a moment, Jiang Chen understood why the development of the Human Race had taken such a significant turn.

All because of Mother Earth!

Mother Earth revived the living beings, starting from the weakest. And as is well-known, the weakest beings in the Primordial World are the Human Race. Therefore, those lacking cultivation were resurrected first by Mother Earth.

Indeed, after the reshaping of Heaven and Earth, even the mortals living there gained great benefits, despite having no cultivation.

However, mortals are mortals because they have never been exposed to cultivation knowledge, and many were even illiterate.

In this scenario, what use is putting them in the Era of the Creation of the Heavens and Earth? Even if the inheritance is in front of them, they don’t recognize it. And even if they do, it’s of no use.

Cultivation techniques often contain profound meanings, with each word embodying extensive information and involving many specialized knowledge areas that even cultivators hesitate to claim full understanding.

Let alone these mortals who have not systematically learned the related knowledge; they cannot comprehend the inheritance presented to them.

If they cannot understand it, how can they train?

Suddenly thrust into the Era of the Creation of the Heavens and Earth, these mortals were undoubtedly delighted. However, after that initial excitement, they fell into bewilderment.

Unable to understand cultivation techniques, they only relied on instinct to absorb the spiritual energy of Heaven and Earth. This could strengthen them, but the efficiency is low, requiring thousands of years to achieve immortality.

Moreover, due to the inability to cultivate, they appeared idle every day. Here, even without eating or drinking, they wouldn’t feel hunger or thirst, nor would they starve to death.

This is a fortunate circumstance; being able to lie around all day, who would want to work daily? Hence, they began leading carefree lives.

But lying around all day isn’t viable, and soon they felt bored. Then, some restless individuals started to improve their lives.

It is widely known that humans are the most creative creatures. As they sought to improve their lives, these individuals summarized many rules.

Some integrated these rules with themselves, creating cultivation methods and thereby becoming powerful cultivators.

Others used these rules to refine tools, enhancing their efficiency progressively. Naturally, technology emerged.

This prompted the Human Race to develop along bifurcated paths: continuing with cultivation and developing technology.

However, the progress of technology greatly lagged behind cultivation, as the path of cultivation has cheats. With the passage of time, these mortals started to encounter the ancient heroes of the Human Race.

From those ancient Human Race heroes, the mortals acquired the missing cultivation knowledge. From there, the cultivation path intensified like riding a rocket, advancing rapidly.

Moreover, with the passage of time, more and more cultivators were revived, further accelerating the development of the cultivation path.

Technology has appeared for only a few years; how could it compare to the cultivation path with its infinite years of accumulation? Being left far behind is only normal.

Nevertheless, the Human Race has no shortage of prodigies who see the Path of Technology as representing another possibility. Thus, efforts were made to continue its research, preserving its legacy.

This led to the flourishing of the Human Race’s Path of Technology.

Undoubtedly, the Path of Technology is beneficial. Like the Void Battleships crafted using technology, even mortals can pilot them with the power to kill Immortal Persons.

Indeed, this is the pinnacle of external force, a realm unparalleled by the cultivation path. Void Battleships can be mass-produced, whereas Immortal Persons cannot.

Every civilization has its flaws and strengths. Cultivators need to find its advantages and exploit them rather than reject any new thing.

As for the belief that external force is inferior to one’s own power, it’s merely something to listen to.

Jiang Chen is well qualified to speak on this; he’s always firmly believed that while it’s best to rely on one’s own power, this doesn’t prevent him from using external forces.

Looking at Jiang Chen’s career till now, the occasions he relied solely on his power when facing enemies are indeed few and far between. Most often, he used external forces to confront enemies.

Even now, it’s no exception.

How could he, in the Creation Realm, contend with the Chaos Demigod? Isn’t it through external forces?

Such is the pragmatist’s approach: strengthening oneself while not forgetting to employ external forces. Advancing both paths equally is the true way.

Thus, Jiang Chen holds a positive attitude towards the rise of technology.

With technology as an aid alongside cultivation, it undoubtedly accelerates the development of the Human Race, benefiting them substantially, providing him no reason to oppose it, but instead to energetically support it.

"Ancient Martial Arts!"

Although valuing the Path of Technology greatly, this path is still nascent, with its true application unknown how many years from now. For now, another significant matter has captured Jiang Chen’s attention.

That is the Ancient Martial Arts.

Today, if there’s anything most prevalent among the Human Race, it must be Ancient Martial Arts.

Before the Great Catastrophe of Heaven and Earth’s destruction erupted, Jiang Chen intended to promote Ancient Martial Arts, creating a trend of revival within the Human Race territories, with Ancient Martial Artists everywhere.

And after the reshaping of Heaven and Earth, the new epoch was dominated by the ancient Human Race heroes revived by Jiang Chen. Among these ancient heroes, almost all practised Ancient Martial Arts, accounting for ninety-nine percent.
