Those who can hold out for half a month are basically martyrs! You can start preparing for their funerals!
"Haha, in the mortal realm, even if you become an emperor, holding the power of life and death over all people, and your word can determine rise and fall, and you also take good care of yourself, in terms of beauty, you can only manage one against two or three at most!"
"Moreover, it won't be long before they die! This is one of the limitations of mortals, but once they embark on the path of cultivation, it will be different. Wenji and Qing'er, don't you think so?" Looking at their flushed faces, Lin Yang couldn't help but tease them.
------------
Chapter One: The Legend of the White Snake
Carefree days, or rather, easy days, are always fleeting. After a year of continuous hard work, Lin Yang finally escaped this cycle of eating and sleeping, then eating again, then sleeping again, and so on.
After all, cultivation is still necessary. However, considering that breaking through from the seventh to the eighth rank requires breaking free from the shackles of the River of Destiny, Lin Yang's cultivation method at this moment is somewhat special!
In particular, after arranging Ye Fan's path to success last time and gaining a lot of insights about destiny, she came to like this behind-the-scenes, boss-like life.
The land of reincarnation.
"I have completely taken control of the world of Shrouding the Heavens, but unfortunately, the upgrade speed is still a bit slow. It takes hundreds of thousands or even millions of years to improve even a little bit, which is really frustrating!"
Thinking this, Lin Yang couldn't help but frown. You see, at this moment, the world of Shrouding the Heavens had already recovered its grade to the mid-stage of the Heavenly Realm after merging with the Immortal Realm's interlayer.
After merging with the Immortal Realm once again, the world's origin became even more abundant, but it was still only a partial restoration to the era of Shi Hao!
Even the most ruthless person, Lin Yang, with the help of the Heavenly Dao of the World, is only at the Immortal Emperor realm, which is the so-called peak of the seventh rank.
After all, once you've reached this point, going any further is no longer just a matter of fundamentals or strength!
(Actually, it's just that the level of "Covering the Sky" isn't high enough. If the world's grade were at the late stage of the eighth rank, Lin Yang could become a Great Luo Immortal with the help of the Heavenly Dao, even without doing anything!)
At the same time, due to the short time frame, the laws governing the world of Shrouding the Heavens are still not very rigorous. Although it is many times more complex than the era of Shi Hao, it still lags far behind the traditional Eastern world!
This wasn't something Lin Yang said on purpose; it's just that such a huge gap truly exists between the worlds!
In terms of sheer strength, "Covering the Sky" is more than enough. However, overall, the world's development still focuses too much on military might! It's quite unbalanced!
It's still a long, long way from the state where mountains have mountain gods, rivers have water gods, the sun, moon, stars, wind, rain, thunder, lightning, and all things are under its control!
To give a simple example, in any complete fantasy world, the web of fate has long been intricately woven.
Many people's lifespan, fortune, and destiny are completely determined at the moment of their birth!
In this situation, all variables are controlled by the world itself, by heaven and earth themselves. Without variables, heaven and earth can move forward very rapidly!
There's no need to worry about some powerful person suddenly trying to defy the heavens, split the heavens, or kill the heavens!
There's no need to worry about anyone starting a dark uprising, nor is there any need to worry about someone being bored and accidentally destroying a planet during a battle!
If you dare to destroy, be prepared to be slain by the immortals!
If you dare to do bad things, be prepared to be divinely ordained and sent to subdue demons and monsters!
After death, there is an underworld that can judge the sins of a lifetime, ensuring that good people are rewarded, and everything is developing in the most stable and harmonious direction!
This kind of world might be very unfriendly to the strong!
It's also very unfriendly to those who keep talking about defying the heavens!
It's even unfriendly to many self-important cultivators who think they're powerful!
However, you have to admit that this kind of world is simply like paradise for ordinary people! And it couldn't be better for the development of the world itself!
As the saying goes, your perspective is determined by your position. If Lin Yang were still an ordinary cultivator at this moment, he would definitely prefer the world of Shrouding the Heavens, where everything is done as one pleases and the strong possess everything!
However, after Lin Yang took control of the Heavenly Dao, he preferred a world with strict rules and rapid development of the world itself!
"I'd better find an Eastern world that isn't of a very high grade but has very strict laws. If we merge with it, it will save me at least a million years of hard work!"
"The world of Jade Dynasty is only at the late stage of the Profound level. Although it can be considered an Eastern fantasy world, its level is far too low, and the amount of laws it contains is pitifully small! No, no..."
"The world of A Chinese Ghost Story, ah, this world is quite nice. In the past, it had a Heavenly Court, an Underworld, a Spirit Mountain, and immortals. It's just a pity that its grade has dropped and its laws are incomplete. However, the world's grade itself is only at the peak of the Profound level right now, which is really too weak! It's still not good enough!"
"Journey to the West, the world of Monkey King, this world's laws are extremely strict. Powerful beings can predict the past and future with a simple calculation. This isn't because their divination techniques are particularly advanced, but because the entire world is filled with predetermined fate! The world's grade is mid-stage Heavenly level, just right for a challenge. However, what if we fail? Let's try another world first!"
After searching for a long time, Lin Yang said wearily, "Not bad, not bad, it's you. The world's grade is the peak of the Earth Rank. Besides, it's a part of my childhood memories! Back then, I grew up listening to the opening and ending themes of this drama!"
Hangzhou, West Lake.
Throughout history, since the development of the south, Hangzhou's West Lake has been a world-renowned scenic spot, home to many magical legends and stories. Among them, the most well-known are the stories of Leifeng Pagoda and the White Snake.
Simply put, this is about Xu Xian, a pretty boy, who, a long, long time ago, rescued Bai Suzhen, who was then a snake, from a hunter.
Many years later, Bai Suzhen achieved enlightenment and came to repay the debt of gratitude. However, she was so blind that she married Xu Xian!
(There are so many ways to repay a debt of gratitude, why choose the most brainless one? Is there no other way to repay a debt of gratitude except by offering oneself in marriage?)
Furthermore, marrying a good-for-nothing like Xu Xian is truly blind! He's on par with the Seven Fairies and the Weaver Girl. Did they all go blind after descending to earth?
She looks down on rich young masters, and disdains cultured and learned men. She only fancy pretty boys, cowherds, and penniless bastards. It's truly...
But who knew that when Lady White Snake was repaying her debt of gratitude, the hunter was reincarnated as the monk Fahai, and then the monk kept trying to sabotage their marriage.
Finally, after many trials, Lady White Snake married the handsome Xu Xian and became pregnant. However, she was then manipulated by Fahai, who used her as a pretext to imprison her under Leifeng Pagoda!
As a result, Xu Xian, who had implicated his wife, could only escape reality and become a monk. Twenty years later, his grown-up son came to rescue his mother.
Although the story itself is quite unconventional and absurd, it has been passed down through the ages, and there are really not many people in the whole of China who do not know the story of the White Snake!
