Calamity of Tomorrow
Chapter 1073 - 1071: Change
Along with Qian Wangsun's explanation, Zhou Bai's Primordial Spirit trembled slightly, and a force from his Primordial Spirit had forcibly surged into Zheng Wentian's Sea of Consciousness, directly breaking the restrictions set by the Primordial Spirit adjustments since his birth.
Zheng Wentian felt Zhou Bai's Primordial Spirit force invading and instinctively wanted to resist, but Zhou Bai's Primordial Spirit force broke the restriction in his Sea of Consciousness almost instantly and withdrew just as quickly, leaving him with no time to resist.
After the restriction was broken, a feeling of freedom spread from his Sea of Consciousness, as if a long-bound shackle had been opened, or a burden carried for a long time had been cast off.
The various technological products, weapons, and innovations seen along the way had been continuously churning in his mind, only hindered in acceptance by the restriction's bind.
But now, these achievements and products of ordinary people seemed to have broken through layers of shackles, filling him with excitement and enthusiasm.
This sudden intense emotional shift left Zheng Wentian stunned for a solid ten seconds.
"Is this what it feels like after breaking the restriction?" Zheng Wentian smiled: "We were actually restricted for so long?"
Qian Wangsun nodded: "The accumulation of technology is now sufficient. What we need to do is liberate everyone's thoughts and strive to gather enough time to accumulate strength."
Zheng Wentian, recalling what he saw today, said, "But at the current rate of human development, will humanity be able to defeat the Immortals and Gods and create a beautiful world for all mankind?"
Qian Wangsun sneered: "Is anything in the world that simple? Creating a world free from the oppression of Immortals and Gods, or where everyone is an Immortal, is destined to be an extremely long and arduous process."
"Externally, defeating the Heavenly Court on Earth is just the beginning. From the contents of the Nine Disasters of Heaven, we can learn that the extraterrestrial Spiritual People are far more advanced and powerful than those on Earth."
"They may have even completed further popularization of celestial technology. If they are unwilling to coexist peacefully and instead act against us, we would be at an overwhelmingly disadvantageous position."
"Peace can only be acquired through great strength. Therefore, in the future, not only should we control the Earth, but we must also control the solar system. Our descendants might even need to embark on the starry sea, possibly confronting extraterrestrial Spiritual People."
Zheng Wentian was also shocked upon hearing this. Throughout the day's tour, besides recognizing humanity's terrifying creativity, mobilization, and organizational ability, he also understood the advanced nature of extraterrestrial Spiritual People in celestial technology.
Just thinking about future Earth humans confronting extraterrestrial Spiritual People sank his heart; merely imagining it seemed to convey the war's harshness.
Qian Wangsun continued: "Internally, human reform will also be a long process. Even if we defeat the Earth's Heavenly Court, with our development, new 'Immortal and God' classes are bound to emerge, requiring repeated internal reforms to continually break class oppression and privileges, while new classes continue to emerge."
"This transformation and class struggle will be incredibly long and arduous, perhaps lasting until the end of the universe."
Zheng Wentian expressed disappointment: "Will there be new Immortal and God classes appearing?"
Qian Wangsun casually replied: "Based on my recent predictions, if we defeat the Heavenly Court, then in 10 to 20 years within the human race, groups of high-attractiveness people will band together, forming a new class."
"People with high attractiveness will cultivate faster, learn everything quicker. While those who are unattractive lack charisma, and nobody wants to learn with them. Without help from those attractive, learning anything would be particularly slow."
Zheng Wentian was startled: "Looks could divide classes?"
Qian Wangsun laughed: "What's impossible? The only constant in the universe is change. As long as our production tools, and materials continually innovate and progress, new class struggles will certainly emerge."
"Even our current situation, doesn't it have shortcomings? Despite everything needing reconstruction, merely this creates countless problems."
"For example, there's still a disparity in average cultivation speed. Completing high-end technological integration and key component production is still exclusive to a minority."
"Material extraction is slowly failing to keep pace with the number of cultivators. We require more Heavenly Demons and more territory, which will clash with the Heavenly Demon Queen's territory."
"Additionally, as cultivators' abilities improve, everyone's material desires increase, with theft, resource embezzlement, and similar phenomena already emerging in the base, establishing related laws and enforcement departments is imperative."
"Furthermore, the internal base clustering phenomenon due to different backgrounds and jobs, and their relatives and friends in Donghua City wanting to come over."
"Some wish for us to open more resources to those in Donghua City, and the Heavenly Demons' network intrusion and espionage also need caution..."
Listening to this series of issues, Zheng Wentian felt overwhelmed; the initially perfect base now seemed riddled with countless flaws and loopholes
He bitterly smiled: "According to you, does that mean we may never succeed?"
Qian Wangsun slightly smiled: "But at least, each of our reforms, each evolution, brings us closer to our ultimate goal."
On this day, Zheng Wentian's emotions felt like a rollercoaster. Initially assuming celestial ways to be supreme, he discovered other technologies' superiority; thinking no matter how numerous the ordinary people, they couldn't threaten the Immortals and Gods, discovered the superiority of pooled wisdom and strength.
Yet he thought he finally found the ultimate method to create eternal peace, only to be informed by Qian Wangsun of the endless winding road ahead.
With such complex feelings, Zheng Wentian went to study and learn alongside Elsa.
As Qian Wangsun looked at Zhou Bai, he felt his recent words should have created the effect of 'someone remembered your answer', thus influencing the world's future.
Zhou Bai was also watching Qian Wangsun, nodding and saying: "You spoke quite well."
Qian Wangsun said: "Actually, most of what I just said, are discussions the two of us will have in the future."
Zhou Bai was surprised: "Oh?"
Qian Wangsun added: "And after our discussions, you'll have me inform the previous you, just like what I did today."
Zhou Bai's feeling turned a bit nuanced: "So these are words from the future me to the current me?"
