Chapter 292: They Are All Pirate Ships
Chapter 292: They Are All Pirate Ships
"I should have asked you such an important question a long time ago!"
"Every time you go out and take that step, you want to count it. How can you not feel anything when you are in such close contact with the Heavenly Dao?"
Qin Baiqing slapped her forehead and reacted belatedly.
"Ah."
"It's just a perception, not as comprehensive as what you know." Xiao Xingyun did not show much surprise at this news concerning the way of heaven.
He reacted calmly, just turned his head in confusion and looked at the way of heaven in his eyes through the white veil.
Even though Xiao Xingyun never revealed it, Qin Baiqing could make some guesses.
The world in his eyes is probably completely different from what he has seen.
Just as humans naturally sense spiritual energy, and monsters can smell another demonic power thousands of miles away, the world in the eyes of Tianyan’s people may be more naked than what they see.
"Sometimes I ask the heavens..." He said calmly, "I am often confused. Will the heavens play tricks on ants? I do this for fun."
"Otherwise, why would there be two completely different results? It's as if the Heavenly Dao is split and opposed in the star chart in front of me. It never tires of doing so and teases those who try to offend the Heavenly Dao."
"You mean, you can calculate two results?" Qin Baiqing nodded, understanding the reason for this situation.
"Besides that? Is there anything else unusual?"
"The two heavenly ways are pulling at each other. There is a game between them. Once I show my inclination towards one heavenly way, the other heavenly way will alienate me."
...He could actually feel the existence of two different heavenly ways so clearly.
This is something Qin Baiqing can't do.
So far, she has only heard the truth about the evolution of the Heavenly Dao from the system. As for the difference between the two, and the reasons why the old Heavenly Dao became unbalanced and even declined, she has no way of knowing.
"Then you," Qin Baiqing asked tentatively, "can you feel the difference between the two heavenly ways?"
"Hard to say."
Xiao Xingyun paused, lowered his head and "looked" at Qin Baiqing, then raised his hand and placed a star plate in front of her.
The star disk splits into three small world models: upper, middle and lower.
"One of them is probably more like what you see." He pointed at the "small worlds" one by one with his fingertips, saying, "The classes are clear, and the emphasis is on balance. This heavenly law is more stringent."
"But the other one," he raised his hand and wiped out the other two small worlds, leaving only the last whole one, and said, "maybe he is more at will, and values the character of the monks more than strong suppression."
"I have no way of knowing more. I'll probably have to wait until my cultivation level reaches a higher level." Xiao Xingyun said with regret and shame.
"You know so much now. If you continue to improve your cultivation, you will be able to strip the Heavenly Dao of its underwear."
"So scary..." Qin Baiqing shuddered and left in horror.
On the way, she asked the system.
"Tongzi, is the boss behind you the New Heavenly Dao, or are you the New Heavenly Dao himself?"
[…Host, you can interpret it however you want. ]
[The host's friend has already said a lot of information. The host can choose whether to accept the following details. ]
After clicking to receive the message, an abrupt past event merged into Qin Baiqing's mind, completing the details she had heard from Xiao Xingyun.
Under the rule of the old Heavenly Dao, the levels of cultivation were restricted extremely strictly, with strict numbers and levels. No one could be promoted before the permission of Heavenly Dao, otherwise it would be regarded as breaking the balance and damaging the operation of the world.
The stricter the restrictions of the Heavenly Dao, the more obvious the class antagonism will be in human cultivators. The higher the cultivation level and the longer the life span, the fewer opportunities for mobility for the upper-level cultivators. The higher they go, the more solidified they become. "The disadvantages of too strict a hierarchy become more apparent in the later stages. The upper channels are basically blocked, and too many cultivators cannot ascend. In the end, they die of exhaustion. Were you born at this time?" Qin Baiqing asked curiously.
The system's answer was very simple and crude.
"It is impossible to run two entry-level skills in one person. The moment they start running together, the person will explode and die."
“So does the world.”
The New Heavenly Way came into being in response to the demands of lower-level cultivators who were unable to ascend, so it presented rules that were completely different from the old Heavenly Way.
The moment the New Heavenly Way took over the world, the Old Heavenly Way became a pollution that was incompatible with the world. However, the pollution was too strong, and to the New Heavenly Way, it was a poison that could not be touched.
The strict hierarchy still gave his old Heavenly Dao certain conveniences, allowing it to preserve its strength and inherit a large number of powerful supporters who were eager to continue enjoying preferential treatment, which led to the current situation.
As powerful as the Dragon Clan, Duan Yao... and even the Tongbo Clan, all of them are extremely powerful.
"After all this talk, it turns out that New Heavenly Dao came to us to ask for help."
Qin Baiqing spread her hands indifferently, "A weak new Tiandao found mother and wanted her help. Later, he found out that I was doing the same thing, so he just wanted to bind me again."
The new heaven is weak, pitiful and cunning.
The system understood the hidden meaning of Qin Baiqing's words, and became inexplicably short of breath. It felt a little too embarrassed to maintain a high and mighty attitude in front of Qin Baiqing.
[Host, we are partners in exchanging interests]
It's a weak defense.
"Oh..." Qin Baiqing stretched out her voice with an ambiguous tone.
"And I think that the operation of the new Heavenly Dao depends on the character of the cultivators. If everyone has the opportunity to become an immortal and there are no restrictions on everyone, wouldn't it soon become what the old Heavenly Dao tried so hard to avoid?"
The old Heavenly Dao made the level division in order to prevent too many upper-level monks from overwhelming the world, although this approach was a bit too drastic.
But in Qin Baiqing's eyes, Xin Tiandao's approach was an overreaction.
"In this case, as time goes by, there will be no limits on everyone's cultivation and advancement. Won't you be crushed?" she asked sincerely.
I thought that with the existence of the Way of Heaven, there would definitely be a solution with a brilliant conclusion.
However, the system was hesitant, as if it had dragged Qin Baiqing into a leaky pirate ship, and now that the pirate ship was still sailing, it was finally exposed and felt guilty.
[There will be a solution, but it doesn’t exist now. ]
The voice without any emotion continued to speak.
[Suffering is temporary. Anyway, it has become like this now. The old Heavenly Way has become a deadly poison to the world today. It cannot be saved. Our only way is to build a new Heavenly Way and try our best to perfect it. Otherwise, if we lose the Heavenly Way, no one will survive.]
The emotionless voice gradually became more confident and argued with Qin Baiqing.
[Shu, the host has not done well in the present, it is too early to consider the possible crises in the future. How can the host be frightened by the difficulties in the future! ]
"It's nonsense." Qin Baiqing snorted with dissatisfaction, pursing her lips.
She shook off the system that was talking too much due to her guilty conscience, pulled out the sign-in button from the corner, signed in casually, and then looked away. She was no longer surprised by the reward.
But this time, what popped up was not a rare treasure.
A glittering locator appeared in front of Qin Baiqing, and with a "ding" sound, Feng Budu's location was exposed to her.
