Global Catastrophe: I Begin to Evolve from an Ancient Tree-Chapter 359: A World Without the Heavenly Dao
The launch of the trading platform and the auction house was met with an unprecedented surge of interest.
Even though both the trading platform and the auction house charge significant fees, they couldn’t dampen the enthusiasm of other cultivators.
The reason is simple.
That is the guarantee of authenticity.
When buying from the trading platform or the auction house, there is no need to worry about counterfeits.
After all, the Divine Kingdom has announced that if someone buys a counterfeit, they will be compensated ten times the Contribution Points.
Everyone has absolute trust in the announcements from the Divine Kingdom’s chat group; they have no doubt in the authenticity of the proclamation by the Divine Emperor.
On the contrary.
When conducting private transactions with others, who can guarantee the genuineness of the items received, or whether there are any issues?
If you want to authenticate it, you still need to purchase Identification Talismans and Contract Documents, among other treasures, to ensure the safety of the transaction.
Both Identification Talismans and Contract Documents are significantly valuable, and the process is quite cumbersome, incomparable to the convenience of the trading platform and auction house.
Just put the items on there.
Then wait for them to be purchased or auctioned.
Once the transaction is successful, the corresponding Contribution Points will naturally be credited to everyone’s account.
The so-called account.
Is naturally a part of everyone’s data panel.
Seeing the plethora of items emerging from the trading platform and auction house, Gu Qingyang felt increasingly satisfied.
In just half a day.
He had already collected as much as ten billion Contribution Points.
What kind of concept is this?
Collecting a handling fee of ten billion Contribution Points equates to saving ten billion Divine Power for the future.
However.
This is just the beginning of the trading and auction features.
If this continues for long, Gu Qingyang can scarcely imagine how much Divine Power can be saved.
Thinking of this.
Gu Qingyang couldn’t help but feel a bit regretful: "If I had thought of this earlier, perhaps I could have elevated the Divine Kingdom to the ninth rank by now!"
Of course.
These are just words.
Elevating the Divine Kingdom to the ninth rank requires one trillion Divine Power, which isn’t an easy feat.
But all things considered, if the trading and auction features had launched earlier, saving a trillion Divine Power should not have been an issue at all.
Afterward.
Gu Qingyang no longer focused on the matters of the trading platform but turned his attention to the world opened up by the Snow Mountain Holy Hall.
Through the perspective of his followers, Gu Qingyang could personally feel the difference in that world.
"No Heavenly Dao!"
With a brief observation, Gu Qingyang had some understanding of this world.
Heavenly Dao!
To put it simply, it is an existence that arises after the rules of a world have been operating for countless ages autonomously.
The rules have no will.
But the Heavenly Dao possesses its own consciousness.
Although the consciousness of the Heavenly Dao is limited, only acting according to instinct, the presence of the Heavenly Dao versus its absence are two completely different concepts.
A world that hasn’t given rise to a Heavenly Dao operates entirely on instinctual rules, and naturally, there is no talk of invasion or otherwise.
In such a world, all living beings are equal, and even if you aim to destroy that world, the rules wouldn’t care.
But it is different with a Heavenly Dao.
If any existence threatens that world, the Heavenly Dao will take action to annihilate it.
At the same time.
When a world faces its apocalypse, the Heavenly Dao will try all means to ensure the world’s continuation or ways to strengthen itself.
Such is the case with the Heavenly Dao of the Immortal Extinction Realm and the Taiyuan Realm.
The Heavenly Dao of the Two Realms seeks to strengthen itself and, therefore, initiates wars to consume other Heavenly Daos.
Regarding whether the Heavenly Dao is conceived or not, Gu Qingyang also has some speculations.
"If any world gives rise to intelligent beings, then after long periods of accumulation, it may possibly conceive a Heavenly Dao, but if a world lacks intelligent beings, the appearance of a Heavenly Dao is highly unlikely.
The so-called Heavenly Dao is essentially the congregation of the will of the most intelligent of all beings!"
Whether it’s the Taiyuan Realm, Immortal Extinction Realm, or Cyan Yang Realm, they have all given rise to Heavenly Daos.
At the same time.
Many worlds attached to the Immortal Extinction Realm have partially conceived Heavenly Daos, while others have not.
The biggest difference between them lies in whether these worlds have bred intelligent beings as the most advanced of all creatures.
However.
Most of these worlds’ rule power has been devoured by the Heavenly Dao of the Immortal Extinction Realm, integrating into the Immortal Extinction Realm or being completely destroyed. It’s not up to Gu Qingyang to intervene.
"This present world only breeds Fierce Beasts, without the presence of intelligent beings. Therefore, no Heavenly Dao has been conceived. If such mindless rule power can be consumed, it would surely strengthen the Cyan Yang Realm!"
As Gu Qingyang gazed at that world, a fiery glint emerged in his eyes.
No matter what, he is the Heavenly Dao Agent of the Cyan Yang Realm. The strengthening of the Cyan Yang Realm would be most clearly beneficial to him.
Nonetheless—
This poses a problem.
The Dimension Gate is opened in the Taiyuan Realm, and it is impossible for Gu Qingyang to cross the Two Realms to consume that world.
The best approach.
Is to leave corresponding coordinates in that world, and then find the existence of that world within the Starry Celestial River, thereby thoroughly connecting the Two Realms.
In this way.
Gu Qingyang would have the opportunity to refine that world’s rule power, merging it with the Cyan Yang Realm.
Of course.
If the Dimension Gate were opened in the Cyan Yang Realm, things wouldn’t be so troublesome.
But.
This approach carries considerable risks.
No one knows what kind of existence lies behind a Dimension Gate opened in the Cyan Yang Realm.
When Shen Xue exchanged for a forbidden spell Dimension Gate, Gu Qingyang kept a close watch on him; if the former opened up an incredible world, he would need to immediately destroy the Dimension Gate.
Much to Gu Qingyang’s surprise, it was instead opened in the Taiyuan Realm.
Nonetheless, Shen Xue’s actions effectively eliminated future liabilities.
Even if problems arise, it would be the concern of the Taiyuan Realm, without involving the Cyan Yang Realm.
Considering that the local strength of the Taiyuan Realm isn’t weak and even has a hidden Reincarnation Mahayana, if other powerful worlds invade, the Taiyuan Realm’s strength would suffice to resist for a while without any issues.
At that time, the Taiyuan Realm’s Heavenly Dao wouldn’t even consider invading the Cyan Yang Realm, and would certainly withdraw from it.
When the Taiyuan Realm’s Heavenly Dao withdraws, then Gu Qingyang can cut off the connection between the Two Realms.
After all, a channel between Two Realms cannot be destroyed by one side’s Heavenly Dao alone, but once both agree to cease the hostilities, destroying the channel poses no issue.
Therefore.
Regardless of how we look at it, opening the Dimension Gate in the Taiyuan Realm has many benefits and no downsides. Gu Qingyang naturally has no reason to object, and in fact, welcomes it.
