When 'God' Decides To Start Over-Chapter 971 - 375: Unparalleled
"Direction?" Li Xiu slightly furrowed his brow. He didn’t misunderstand, just felt this answer was somewhat too idealistic.
"Exactly, it’s about direction." Modao Cang sighed, "According to that person, this world is like a firework that is blossoming. Though fireworks are brilliant, they eventually come to an end, and at that time, this world will be completely extinct, with no one able to escape. The only way to survive is to find the right direction. If we compare our world to fireworks, then outside our world is a bigger world, that world not only has fireworks but also many other various things. To survive, we must become the spark of the fireworks in the right direction, igniting other things to gain more survival energy, thus sustaining our ephemeral lives that disappear like fireworks."
What Modao Cang said was similar to what Li Xiu speculated. After hearing it, he furrowed his brow and said, "Even if all the theories hold true, how can it be determined that there is something to ignite around these fireworks? If there isn’t, then where does the concept of direction come from?"
"That person says there is, but it requires a sufficiently intense spark to ignite it. Our continuous practice of strengthening ourselves is so that we can become that sufficiently intense spark." Modao Cang replied.
"But what is there? A house? A pile of firewood, or a sheet of paper? Even if it’s as he says, if it truly ignites, how long can it last? What happens afterward? Furthermore, once ignited, is it still our world?" Li Xiu said.
"Your concerns are valid; everyone has thought about it. But besides this path, what else can we do?" Modao Cang sighed.
Li Xiu thought about it too; even if only one survives, it can prove that this firework-like world once existed. If nothing is done, when the brilliant fireworks burn out, that will be when this world quietly disappears.
Of course, all of this is predicated on the assumption that what that person says is true. Li Xiu still has doubts about that and can’t fully believe it.
Modao Cang said he had witnessed the dust of the fireworks, but Li Xiu had not seen it himself. Without witnessing it firsthand, Li Xiu wouldn’t blindly believe it.
With Modao Cang’s story, Li Xiu finally sorted out the entire trajectory of the Changsheng Tian.
The president established the Changsheng Tian, and before or after that, found the ancestors of the Eight Families, making them the first residents of the Changsheng Tian, the earliest Trial Takers.
However, because the world’s resources are limited, the president and the ancestors of the Eight Families made an agreement to try to allocate resources to those who had a chance to become Trial Takers that ignite the world beyond, so generally, Trial Takers didn’t receive much resources.
The president has been controlling the Trial Takers of the Changsheng Tian to plunder the resources of Evil Spirits, which is why Changsheng Tian doesn’t have many higher-level Trial Takers.
Information about the Trial Takers and Evil Spirits has never been truly disclosed. In the past few thousand years, only a few elite humans have been invited to join Changsheng Tian as Trial Takers.
Frankly speaking, these elites are just lab rats waiting to be chosen. Once it’s found that their abilities are insufficient to reach the final step, they’ll be directly eliminated or only able to perform some auxiliary work within Changsheng Tian.
And the ancestors of the Eight Families are indeed powerful, producing many strong Divine Position Level figures. Those figures seek breakthroughs to become the ones who can ignite the existence outside the world and stay in the Land of Trial for years cultivating.
Perhaps among them, there are constraints, or maybe some agreement between them and the president, that until they take that step, they can’t return to Changsheng Tian.
The president has always been monitoring the actions of those great figures from the Eight Families. While they are alive, it’s fine. Once they die, even their family’s interests will be canceled unless someone in their family emerges with a chance to reach that step.
It can now be determined that among the elders of the Sun, Mo, Li, and Han Families, there are surely some Divine Position Level figures in the Land of Trial, or else these four families couldn’t hold their current status.
"If the Li Family truly still has a Divine Position Level figure alive, who knows about my enmity with the Li Family, would they come after me desperately?" Li Xiu wanted even more to quickly elevate the Evil Spirit Token to Divine Position Level.
He had witnessed the terror of Modao Cang’s strike, which was not much inferior to Guan Jinghao’s Fallen God state, only differing in development direction.
If the Li Family’s figure is at a similar level to Modao Cang, seeking him recklessly would indeed be troublesome.
As for those mysterious matters about the Fireworks World, they’re not within Li Xiu’s consideration at the moment.
Even if this world truly is like fireworks, to Li Xiu and others, ephemeral brilliance is no different from eternity; at least Li Xiu is unlikely to live to the day the fireworks burn out.
Since he won’t live to see that day, what’s the point of worrying? The matters of future generations, leave those for them to work on; Li Xiu just needs to take care of his own affairs. 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎
"Old Mo, how many like you at Divine Position are there now?" Li Xiu testedly probed for information.
"I have left Changsheng Tian too long, I only know at that time the Eight Families had a total of fourteen Divine Positions. How many more have emerged, how many are still alive, it’s hard to say. Probably not many, otherwise, the other four families wouldn’t be kicked out of the prominent families list."
