Facing the Apocalypse with My Other Selves-Chapter 497 - 285: Audience with the Great Luo Bodhi!
Shen Yu found it hard not to suspect that behind such circumstances, there must be a Great Power manipulating from behind the scenes.
Perhaps this also explains why after Journey to the West, there were no more grand mythological tales constructed.
And dividing these regions according to different timelines would undoubtedly lead to different developments.
Enhancing diversity.
Thus, disasters could be eased in a more gentle manner.
Preventing the catastrophic calamities that occur every now and then.
If this is indeed true, it could also mean that those Saints and Daluo Golden Immortals might truly be unprepared for the outbreak of this calamity.
Shen Yu looked once more at this Kingdom of Baoxiang.
Although the technological level had greatly advanced, in the entire country, Cultivators were still revered.
Indeed, cultivation was still the most important.
However, everyone at the age of twelve would have their "Immortal Fate" measured.
The same goes for Life Chart and innate talent.
Only those with outstanding innate talent and prominent Life Chart have the qualification to walk the path of cultivation.
This is clearly the right, scientific decision.
It avoids the wastage of resources and prevents the squandering of manpower and productivity.
In the Primordial World governed by "Celestial Destiny," Life Chart truly exists and can represent a person’s potential to a great extent.
Moreover, Life Chart can be altered.
Those with sufficient ability can change the Life Chart for their children or relatives.
Even if lacking in innate conditions, there is still a sliver of possibility to embark on the Immortal path, thereby gaining the qualification to walk the path of cultivation.
Evidently, as soon as this system was implemented in the Kingdom of Baoxiang, the country embarked on the right track.
Many Immortals appeared.
Even the quality of local land gods, mountain deities, and city gods were surpassing those in ordinary countries.
If the development of the whole nation was an experiment, then it could be considered rather successful.
This made Shen Yu realize that the Immortals and Buddhas in this version of the Primordial World were not entirely ignorant of some modern understandings.
On the contrary, their perspective must have expanded to angles that modern people haven’t grasped.
"The modern version of the Immortal Court," Shen Yu murmured.
He looked at the network of the Kingdom of Baoxiang, even suspecting whether the Immortal Court also had a network spread among all the Immortals.
If this were true, then he ought to be more cautious.
It’s possible that if discovered by any land god, he would soon be known throughout the Primordial.
However, after thinking it over, Shen Yu still decided to seek out a "familiar face."
Yes, his convenient teacher, Bodhi Ancestor.
Though he was merely a named disciple, he had a certain status, and most importantly, Shen Yu felt he didn’t have much time to slowly nurture or gradually collect resources. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢
Thus, Shen Yu left Treasure Box Country and continued flying towards the location of Bodhi Ancestor.
Along the way, he discovered that the "wilderness" of the Primordial World also presented two different situations.
On one hand, demons and monsters still existed.
Indeed, there were still many demons preying on humans, and many spirits and ghosts continued to harm people.
With the current power of the Primordial Immortal Court, handling these matters would be quite easy.
Just in the Kingdom of Baoxiang alone, such problems were nonexistent, any disruptive demons, ghosts, or spirits would be detected immediately by land gods and mountain deities, or even by Baoxiang’s own enforcement teams, and resolved at once.
Yet, the scenes Shen Yu saw, matching his previous understanding of the Primordial World, still existed, which could only mean that these thousands of Immortals and Buddhas required such scenes to exist.
"A certain level of danger and chaos indeed has its reason for existence," Shen Yu thought, standing no longer as the ordinary person he once was.
From a managerial perspective, this was understandable.
Sometimes, only by facing danger can one appreciate the value of order.
Nonetheless, he continued striving to eliminate some crises, for danger itself could never be entirely eradicated.
If not from the outside, it might arise from within.
And these scenes before him were sufficient to illustrate, to some extent, the attitude of the high authorities of the Primordial World, or the Immortals and Buddhas of the Immortal Court.
"A system that hasn’t changed for a long time, without crisis, and possessing such powerful Extraordinary power, stagnation is inevitable," Shen Yu pondered, even becoming vigilant, "Let’s see to what extent it goes."
He thought of that enemy born during the seventy-second century to combat calamity.
Their core philosophy was to eliminate the high and mighty Immortals and Buddhas.
Even to eradicate Extraordinary power and the Extraordinary System.
And recalling, after Journey to the West, no Great Power was born.
Not to mention ascending to Daluo Golden Immortal, perhaps the Great Sage Equalling Heaven was indeed the last Taiyi Golden Immortal.
Shen Yu exhaled slowly, continuing to meticulously hide his presence.
Even resorting to some Gray Mist.
Finally, arriving safely at his destination.
—Fangcun Mountain.
"Is this the original and real Fangcun Mountain?" Shen Yu gazed at the Immortal Mountain before him, genuinely stunned.
The towering mountain before him couldn’t simply be described using the word "mountain" given its sheer dimensions.
Though long aware that the Primordial World was vast, immensely vast, its scale still exceeded Shen Yu’s expectations.
