On the historical axis, the sandbox cannot summarize the human history after 2000 AD.
At the same time, the energy obtained by the box garden from human history has decreased, which has hindered the expansion of the box garden. The speed at which the box garden gathers other external worlds is now unreasonably slow.
Everything has a cause and effect. If the expansion of the box garden slows down, there will indeed be hidden dangers.
The impact of sandbox on human history, at least before 2000 AD, has been positive and beneficial.
Without the containment of the sandbox, human history in the outside world would develop into all kinds of strange things - the most basic point is that in the world without the observation of the sandbox, there is no distinction between gods and humans.
In a world where gods really exist, what kind of civilization can human history develop?
A four-digit god can shatter the stars, a five-digit god can sink the continental plates, and a six-digit god can wipe out all the forces that resist him in the world with just a little time.
In a world where all power belongs to individuals, the strong can indeed force civilization to move forward, making the civilization on their own planet develop better than in the box garden.
But how likely is it?
When someone is invincible and will not be punished no matter what he does, most people will choose to indulge their desires.
The existence of gods and the rule of monarchs have a very high upper limit, but an extremely low lower limit, and most of the time, they will tend to hit the lower limit.
In the world outside the scope of the sandbox, many worlds are in dire straits.
This is not the arrogance of the little garden people, but the fact.
The strong can interfere with human development at will, which is beneficial in some aspects and disadvantageous in others.
——This leads to the situation that if a strong person wholeheartedly assists the development of human beings on his own planet for a hundred years, and then feels that it is meaningless just once, and feels that he should not play such a game, the planet may be gone.
In the small garden, gods and Buddhas cannot directly interfere with human history. If gods and Buddhas want to destroy human history, human history will directly overturn the table, and the decadent wind will come to settle accounts with all gods and Buddhas.
Not to mention, those strong people who are willing to assist the growth of humans on their own planet are rare.
On more planets, the strong unscrupulously exploit the weak, and the weak even feel that it is their right to contribute their lives to their own gods.
Taking the ending point of the sand tray as an example, in the year 2000 AD, people in regions like Latin America and Africa did suffer greatly.
But it depends on who you are comparing with.
Compared with developed countries in the same period, it is definitely inferior.
How does it compare vertically with the slavery period?
During the atheist slavery period, priests oppressed ordinary people, and ordinary people might even kill the priests in anger.
In the world where gods exist, the priests of gods oppress ordinary people, and even if all of you ordinary people work together, it will be useless.
——A four-digit god can explode a star. How can you, a human living on a planet, fight against a four-digit god?
An entire planet can be crushed by five digits without any resistance and can be flattened or rounded at will.
Given the current state of the box garden, many events that seem tragic from the perspective of the year 2000 AD may be considered heaven in the world outside the box garden that is in the slavery era.
You say that working fourteen hours a day is too hard, and others exclaim that the meals you eat every day are all greasy.
You said that you were old and sick due to exhaustion, and others were shocked that you were actually old. In our country, apart from those who worship the gods, few people live past the age of thirty.
Yuanshi felt that Su Qing's spatial ability was most likely nurtured because of this.
The essence... maybe it's smuggling?
Some human history worlds outside the sandbox have been looking forward to the kingship (the closing of the sandbox) for a long time, but the kingship has not yet arrived.
The parties involved can only find ways to sneak across the border.
——The prerequisite for the birth of this spirit is that the box garden extends its perception to other worlds.
There is a difference between the perception range of the sand tray and the focus range of the sand tray.
Under daily circumstances, there is not much difference. The sandplay always extends perception to the world that needs to be converged first, and then converges the current world into the sandplay system.
When the sandbox has no ability to converge, it will naturally not waste resources and expand one's perception.
But...what if someone deliberately expands the perception of the box garden?
This is a good thing for the small garden, and it purely benefits me.
There are two-digit gods and Buddhas who fill in the box garden with their own achievements, so that the box garden knows in detail what is happening in those worlds, and those worlds also indirectly know the situation in the box garden.
But the box garden does not have the resources to bring the human world into the box garden system.
Naturally, people from the outside world would hope to come to the box garden. Because of this wish, a high-intensity spiritual power was born that could transcend the boundaries between the box garden's observation range and non-observation range.
The small garden was unable to block the outside world from being observed for a while, and people from the outside world wanted to sneak into the small garden.
The small garden has been unable to contain the outside world for hundreds and thousands of years.
These people might be calling us soon!
If the king's army does not come, then you can become the king's army yourself.
Among these, there is naturally the possibility of destroying the box garden. It is not surprising that disasters that can threaten the box garden will develop in those worlds that are "within the observation range of the box garden but not within the convergence range of the box garden."
The so-called four-digit limit and three-digit limit are just the limitations of the box garden.
Before the sandbox was built, the gods and Buddhas at that time did not have these frameworks.
Naturally, in the worlds that are observed by the box garden but not contained by it, there is no need to abide by the restrictions on status.
Therefore, there is a situation where Su Qing, whose number is less than three digits, becomes the final test for mankind?
Yuanshi thought about it and felt that there were many doubts, but it still made sense.
When this spatial ability develops to its limit, it can summon strong people from the outside world into the box garden, and they don’t need to abide by the box garden’s rank restrictions?
Yuanshi thought, maybe there’s no need to fight then.
In the final trial, humans can only be defeated by four-digit numbers, but their spiritual powers have grown to the limit and they can easily summon hundreds or thousands of powerful beings whose spiritual powers far exceed four digits.
If these strong ones also have the nature of "can only be defeated by four-digit numbers", how can we fight them in the small garden?
...Will he take action at that time?
The final test for humanity today is to be conquered by 'four-digit numbers that can only exist in the present'. Human history is too rigid, and Yuanshi is powerless.
If it was a powerful person summoned, 'can only be conquered by four-digit people', he could handle it without expecting contemporary people or living people.
But he is a special case in the sandbox.
Those powerful people who created the small garden knew that the four-digit position was very important, but they had already upgraded it.
There are only a few people in the whole box garden who are ruthless enough to reduce the number of digits.
Moreover, reducing it to three digits would be fine, but reducing it to four digits... that requires a sufficient base to be able to exert the power.
Yuanshi has the definition of "Han" in his hands, which allows him to reach double-digit combat power.
If Yahweh lowers his own spiritual power to four digits, Yahweh's faith plate will be enough for Him to exert double-digit combat power.
But the problem is - the fact that you hold such a large base shows that your affiliated forces in human history are among the best in the box garden.
You are one of the best in the small garden, what else are you not satisfied with?
Do you really have to take the risk and lower your spiritual level to four digits?
This is basically impossible.
The possibility of a two-digit number becoming a three-digit number again is slightly higher.
Since his own group of gods was not doing well, he decided to take action himself.
It is basically impossible to return to four digits. For a four-digit number to exert the combat power of a two-digit number, in addition to relying on special talent, it also requires a huge base in human history.
Yuanshi speculated that after Haotian left the box garden and became the Emperor of Heaven again as the Jade Emperor, he might have lowered his rank to four digits.
Yuanshi felt that in the entire box garden, the only two people whose combat power could reach double-digit or four-digit numbers were probably him and Haotian.
There is no actual evidence, but there is some circumstantial evidence.
When facing Sun Wukong, the Jade Emperor did not take action personally.
——If it was the situation recorded in Journey to the West, it would be reasonable for the Jade Emperor not to take action.
If a monkey requires the intervention of him, the Emperor of Heaven, he has already lost all face.
But the situation in the box garden is that Haotian is no longer the Emperor of Heaven, and many people are competing for the position of Emperor of Heaven.
When Haotian entered human history, he erased his two-digit identity and became the Emperor of Heaven as the Jade Emperor.
The Jade Emperor's status is no nobler than that of Sun Wukong, and both are competitors for the position of Heavenly Emperor.
If he had been the Emperor of Heaven for hundreds of millions of years and someone suddenly provoked him, it would be reasonable for him to send his men to deal with it.
Both parties are fighting for the throne of Heavenly Emperor, and you become the Heavenly Emperor... Facing your rival's dissatisfaction, if you feel that you can definitely win, why don't you reach out and slap your rival in the face?
You just took office, you need to establish your authority!
Haotian has a high prestige in the Heavenly Palace, but the Jade Emperor does not have a very high prestige in the Heavenly Palace. Instead, he is famous for his "virtue".
Many people in Heaven were watching the battle.
In the end, it was Tathagata who subdued the monkey, not the Jade Emperor who took the monkey to establish his authority...
Yuanshi didn’t think that Haotian was no match for Monkey. He rather felt that Haotian had reduced his own strength to four digits.
There may be hidden dangers in taking action.
Chapter 99
In Yuanshi's mind, there is a very clear logic.
Haotian deliberately lowered the number from double digits, he must be planning something big.
Moreover, it would cost a huge price to reduce from two digits. Given the current situation in human history where people are resisting the closing of the sandbox, reducing to three digits is naturally not as convenient as reducing to four digits.
Three-digit numbers can only step onto the stage of history, can interfere and conclude, but human history may not be willing to pay attention to you. When four-digit numbers conclude human history, human history will give you the green light.
The only thing that the four-digit number could not do was to intervene in the final trial and conquest of mankind. As for the rest of the regular human history, the four-digit number could be said to have taken full advantage.
Yuanshi thought about it for a moment and felt that Haotian was really capable of creating the ultimate test for mankind.
Among the strong men in the box garden, Haotian is one of the overconfident ones, although he does have the reasons to be confident.
Now, the box garden has stopped its control over human history... so what should we do next?
Yuanshi had thought about it, but he was not in charge.
Among the Three Pure Ones of Taoism, Yuanshi controls the operation of Taoism, but Taoism does not have a dominant position in the Nine Provinces.
