My clan is super powerful

Chapter 612: A Way to Worship Ancestors?; Accident
"When a living being's spirit exceeds a certain level, it will awaken its intelligence and become an intelligent being!"

"At the same time, the transformation of souls into strange and evil things is also due to the loss of spirit."

"According to this theory, if the souls of intelligent creatures can continue to replenish their spirits after death, then there is a high probability that they will not transform into strange and evil creatures."

After a pause, Zhang Zhi continued slowly, "So, I think this human path in this world is very likely an extremely rare path related to the spirit."

Liu Wanwan now understood the meaning behind Zhang Zhi's words: "You mean that the souls enshrined in those temples can absorb the spirits of other creatures through the influence of this cultivation path?"

"The other races in this world region don't possess enough spirit to give rise to spiritual intelligence?"

"The human race in this world uses temples spread across most of the world to prevent other intelligent creatures from developing spiritual intelligence?"

"So, the human race is the only race in this world?"

Zhang Zhi nodded slowly: "I think this is most likely the reason."

After pondering for a while, Liu Wanwan said, "But I think there are still many problems here."

"For example, if the temples everywhere were truly nourished by spirits, the amount of spirits required to support the souls within them would be astronomical."

"Also, are there such temples in all the worlds within this area?"

"Otherwise, in some remote worlds, there is definitely a possibility that intelligent races will be born."

"Also, how do humans control the spirits within the temple? If there aren't enough animals in a certain area, how do they ensure the spirits consume what they need?"

After hearing Liu Wanwan's question, Zhang Zhi glanced at the human city not far below, and then slowly said:

"Regarding the issue of remote areas, it's very simple. These souls are not earthbound spirits. As long as they have spiritual replenishment, they can naturally roam around in this area of the world."

"As for the spirits needed to consume, it's actually very simple. The reason is what I explained before. These souls are not earthbound spirits and can travel to other areas to find spirits."

"If you really can't find it, there are still humans. Humans also have spirits."

Liu Wanwan was stunned for a moment after hearing this. Zhang Zhi's answer gave her goose bumps on her back.

Looking at Liu Wanwan, whose face was filled with shock, Zhang Zhi continued, "Yes, humans also have spirits. If you need them, just absorb their spirits."

"In the absence of external enemies, the cruelty of human internal strife is actually no more peaceful than the struggles between alien races."

"From what we've learned over the past few days, the power of the human race in this world is based on families."

"So, if the spirits needed for the offerings within your own sphere of influence are insufficient, you can simply use the human race from other forces instead!"

"Do you remember why we came here?"

"The higher-ups here said that more than a dozen worlds under their jurisdiction are under attack by some alien race."

"At the same time, a large number of our tribesmen were abducted."

"In a war with an alien race, have you ever heard of kidnapping ordinary members of the enemy tribe?"

"I haven't heard of it anyway."

"On the battlefield between alien races, it's a life-or-death struggle. If you want to obtain intelligence on an alien race, just kill the enemy leaders and search their souls."

"Unless there's a need for a blood sacrifice or something like that, they'd kidnap ordinary members of the other tribe."

"Therefore, the human races among the different forces in this world are likely to use methods such as blood sacrifice to replenish the spiritual energy needed by the souls within those temples."

Hearing Zhang Zhi say this, Liu Wanwan beside him let out a deep breath: "So, the hands of the vast majority of the human race in this world are stained with the blood of their own people?"

"No wonder the teleportation array built by the main world is not open to the human race in this area."

"The higher-ups must have discovered the problems with this world before, but they were too busy dealing with the Mind Flayer and had to put it aside for now."

"I thought I'd deal with the Mind Flayer issue first, then slowly take care of the affairs of this world."

Zhang Zhi shook his head slightly and said, "Actually, it's not just this reason."

"It seems that the human leaders haven't decided yet how to deal with the human race in this world."

"After all, in the human race's cognition, they are right to do so."

"Back when our human race hadn't yet unified, the human races in the various main worlds fought each other to the death."

"The humans in this world believe they are doing this to ensure humanity's eternal status as the leading force within this region of the world. Sacrificing some humans in this process is acceptable."

"For example, if we can find a way to ensure that humanity becomes the eternal protagonist of the multiverse, the price may be that some humans must make sacrifices."

"If such a method really existed, I believe the vast majority of humans in the Main World would agree without hesitation."

When Liu Wanwan heard this, she nodded silently in her heart, thinking that indeed, if there was a way to make the human race the protagonist of the multiverse by sacrificing a part of itself, even she would vote in favor.

Zhang Zhi on the side continued, "The human race in the main world deeply detests things like blood sacrifice and sacrificing people. Therefore, even if there are excusable circumstances, the human race in the main world will definitely not accept such things."

"Of course, it's also possible that the human race's leaders have concerns about the cultivation methods of the human race in this world region."

"Perhaps after we have thoroughly understood this path of cultivation and determined how to deal with the human race in this world, we will open up communication between this area and the human races in other places, right?"

"Although the human race in this world is not very powerful, they have been the protagonists of this world region for countless epochs, so they still have a lot of pride."

"If this isn't handled properly, the human race in this world region is likely to become alienated from the human race in the main world."

After listening to Zhang Zhi, Liu Wanwan pondered for a moment and then asked, "Should we continue to search for the so-called alien race that suddenly appeared?"

"After all, those alien races are most likely the human race from other nearby forces."

Zhang Zhi nodded and said, "Of course we have to look for it, and we have to look for it in a big way."

"Only in this way can we dig out more information from the human race here."

"Similarly, we can also learn more about the specific conditions of this world."

"After all, we came here to look for those so-called alien races at their request."

. . . , . . .

Three days later, Zhang Zhi slowly flew out of a temple.

During these three days, the two of them visited all seventeen forces in this world.

From the communication with these seventeen forces, they managed to collect some useful information.

Just as Zhang Zhi had speculated before, the seventeen forces in this world are indeed seventeen family forces.

And these seventeen families are all branches of a family that possesses weak divine power.

Within these seventeen families, even the mortals all have the same surname.

In other words, there are only seventeen surnames in this large small world.

Of course, this does not mean that all people have the same ancestor. Within a family, some are married into other families, some are merged from ruined families, some have changed their appearance for some reasons, and there are even some who are more promising and surviving "captives".

It may be because people in this area knew that Zhang Zhi and his team were coming, and someone from higher-ups issued a gag order or something like that.

But when Zhang Zhi and the others come to you, you can't just say nothing, otherwise others will definitely know that there is a problem.

However, there is no unified statement among the various families, so the information obtained from different families is somewhat contradictory.

However, Zhang Zhi and the others still extracted a lot of information they had from it.

At present, it can be confirmed that the way of cultivation here is indeed as Zhang Zhi speculated, which is to practice by worshiping the souls of ancestors.

The general method of cultivation is that multiple cultivators "bind" together through practicing kung fu and a certain ancestor object, which is actually the "god" they worship.

These monks are actually paying tribute to this "god".

Of course, it is not without benefits. When they fight, they can easily use the power of this "ancestor".

The process is somewhat similar to Zhang Zhi's previous life's "god-beating" and "inviting the gods to possess him."

Moreover, in the process of inviting gods, apart from consuming spirits, nothing else needs to be consumed.

However, the more powerful the ancestor, the more spirits are consumed to borrow the power. Therefore, when borrowing the power of those powerful ancestors, many cultivators often pay the "spirits" through blood sacrifice in order to avoid losing too much of themselves.

As for the sacrifices used in blood sacrifices, whether they are living creatures or humans, it is difficult to say.

These are the information related to the path of cultivation that the two of them have collected in the past few days.

There are certainly still many ambiguities here.

For example, what is the specific cultivation process like?

For example, what is the specific relationship between the ancestors and the monks in this path of cultivation?

For example, how were the ancestors who were enshrined chosen, and what was so special about them?

For example, how do those ancestors who are worshipped maintain their sanity? Do they really do so by devouring the spirits of other creatures?
Zhang Zhi and Liu Wanwan had a lot of questions like these in their minds. However, the human race in this big world was extremely defensive, so they couldn't get much useful information from them in a short period of time.

In addition, this world is just a big world. Even if the cultivators here know everything, they don’t know much. They are already very satisfied to be able to roughly understand the practice methods of this cultivation path.

After roughly determining the cultivation path of this world, Zhang Zhi suddenly felt that the human race in this world had no way of breaking through the realm of weak divine power, which was probably related to the fact that they consumed a lot of spiritual energy at the beginning.

Of course, there are only some possibilities.

The more likely possibility is that the human race here has been suppressing the birth of other intelligent races, so they have been targeted by the multiverse consciousness and their cultivation has been deliberately restricted.

In addition to information on cultivation methods, the two also collected a lot of information related to nearby human forces.

This area of the world does indeed possess countless forces, just as Zhang Zhi had previously speculated.

Since the foundation of this cultivation path is the family, it is destined that it cannot form a large force in this area of the world.

Therefore, a force is generally composed of three or five powerful families with weak divine power and dozens of vassal families.

The vast majority of forces have one or two small thousand worlds, and a small number have three.

It is rare to have more than three small thousand worlds. As for five or even more, the cultivators in this world have never heard of it.

Zhang Zhi roughly estimated that within this world area, the number of small thousand worlds is at least over 100,000.

In other words, there are tens of thousands of human forces within this area of the world.

It is no wonder that the human leaders did not open the teleportation array between this area and the human main world.

Previously, the human leaders had directly contacted the human leaders in the Demon Refining World area to discuss the conditions and requirements for the incorporation with the leaders of the human race in the newly incorporated world area.

It’s just like the human race in the previous demon refining world area.

But this approach simply doesn't work in this part of the world.

There are tens of thousands of forces. Although some of them have formed alliances, these so-called alliances are basically just a shell and have no real power at all.

In other words, if we follow the previous method, we will need to negotiate with more than 10,000 human forces one by one before we can reach an agreement on the conditions for communication between the two sides.

This will definitely drive the human race's foreign affairs personnel crazy.

Coupled with the special nature of this world's cultivation methods, it is no wonder that even though it has been some time since the human race destroyed the Mind Flayer's main world, the human race here is still isolated from the main world.

Liu Wanwan had obviously thought of this question as well. She asked Zhang Zhi, "Based on the information we've collected, the human race in this area is truly too complex."

"Also, the actions of some human forces are truly too evil."

"How do the higher-ups in the main world plan to deal with the human race in this area?"

After pondering for a while, Zhang Zhi slowly said, "I feel that the human race's leaders are probably waiting for an opportunity."

Liu Wanwan asked with some confusion: "Opportunity? What opportunity?"

Zhang Zhi chuckled and said, "What other opportunity could it be? A chance to integrate the human race in this area."

"No matter what, all the people here are human, and there are tens of billions of them."

"Plus, there are some human races within the forces that need to be liquidated. If the entry point is not found well, the human race here will easily suffer the consequences."

"Just like when I came here, I was very respectful to you on the surface, but in reality, I was pretending to obey you and was secretly doing tricks."

Liu Wanwan nodded silently after hearing this: "Then what kind of entry point do you think the higher-ups in the main world will try to find?"

Zhang Zhi glanced back at the temple they had just left: "Point of entry!"

"The entry point has been prepared long ago."

Liu Wanwan showed a hint of doubt on her face: "Have you prepared it a long time ago?"

Zhang Zhi nodded: "Yes, the banquet will be held in more than a month!"

Liu Wanwan let out a soft cry when she heard this, and then immediately understood what Zhang Zhi meant.

Zhang Zhi nodded at her and said, "Yes, that's right."

"The leaders in the main world should have sent invitations to all the human leaders in this area."

"Many of the human leaders in this world were actually quite ignorant and fearless before, and had no concrete concept of our strength. The leaders in the main world, on the other hand, were concerned about the status of their people and were also worried that many of them would feel grief for their own loss, so they were reluctant to directly take action to rectify this area."

"As long as the high-ranking members of the human race here attend the banquet, they will have a direct understanding of the strength of our human race and understand how powerful our human race is now."

"Or in other words, only then will you have a clear understanding of the strength of the human race."

"After all, no matter how much we talk about low-level divine power, medium-level divine power, high-level divine power, and the realm of the Lord God, they have no idea what these represent."

"In the eyes of people in this world, these realms are just like the Weak Divine Power Realm. They are all gods, at most they are just a little more powerful."

"But in reality, the difference between a powerful divine power realm and a weak divine power realm is greater than the difference between a weak divine power realm and an ordinary person."

“And the difference between the Lord God Realm and the Great Divine Power Realm is even greater than the difference between the Weak Divine Power Realm and the Legendary Realm.”

"Only the human race in this world has a direct understanding of these realms, beyond the few words in the data."

"Only then will you feel fear for the human race in my main world."

"Only then can they reshape their previous cognition."

"At the same time, thanks to the sermons at the banquet, the human leaders in this world region will also have a direct understanding of the various cultivation methods in the main world."

"This will also make it easier for the human leaders to adjust the cultivation methods of the human race in this world in the future."

"After all, the cultivation method in this world region is actually an outdated method for us."

Liu Wanwan nodded slightly after listening to this: "Indeed, seeing is believing. Only after the human race in this area of the world understands our strength will they willingly cooperate with our integration and transformation of them."

"The upcoming feast is indeed the best entry point."

"Only after the humans here understand how powerful we are will they identify with us and be willing to accept our integration."

Zhang Zhi nodded and said, "Yes, this is actually very important!"

"In fact, I think this is also a psychological game used by the upper echelons of the main world against the human race in this region of the world."

"If we treat them too well and keep thinking about how to integrate them, who knows what they're thinking. After all, it's not a good deal if you're willing to pay for it, and people won't be interested in things that you don't pay for."

"Only after the human race of this world understands the strength of our power and our many powerful cultivation methods, can the human race of this world take the initiative to ask for their integration."

"Only if they proactively propose integration can we better deal with those evil forces, more clearly and logically propose conditions, and make them willingly cooperate with our integration."

"After all, the souls in those temples can be said to be a very large destabilizing factor."

"If the humans of this world didn't cooperate, just dealing with those enshrined souls would be enough of a headache for us."

"God knows how many souls of our ancestors the human race in this world has enshrined after so many years of accumulation."

"If these souls were not nourished by the spirits and turned into evil or strange creatures, God knows how many of our tribe would be killed or injured."

Liu Wanwan took a deep breath when she heard this. She obviously realized the importance of this issue.

After sorting out the information at hand, the two communicated with classmates who were exploring other worlds through their student cards and found that everyone seemed to be somewhat curious about the cultivation methods of this world.

Just when Zhang Zhi thought that the practical class was about to end, an accident happened.

The big world he was in was attacked again!

Moreover, the attackers this time were not the human race from other forces as he thought, or the souls of the human race's ancestors.

Instead, there were a few strange creatures that looked a bit like animals, but also a bit like humans. I didn't know if they were souls, evil creatures, or strange beings.

When Zhang Zhi saw that thing for the first time, his first reaction was that there was an underworld here?
Which underworld world's Bull-Headed and Horse-Faced Demon came out?
After all, the animal's appearance looks somewhat similar to the Ox-Head and Horse-Faced Monsters.

But after a careful inspection, I found that although those things were somewhat similar to the creatures of the underworld, they were not actually creatures of the underworld.

In addition, Zhang Zhi also discovered that the force that was attacked this time seemed to have a certain understanding of that thing, and even had some methods to restrain it.

However, the strength of the monsters that attacked this time was beyond the expectations of the human race of that force.

When Zhang Zhi and Liu Wanwan sensed the disturbance in the battle and rushed over, they found hundreds of people lying on the ground, many of them were staggering.

Because the enemy's attack methods were somewhat strange, Zhang Zhi and Liu Wanwan did not get too close, but directly summoned their followers from the realm of gods.

As soon as the two sides fought, Zhang Zhi discovered that the four monsters on the opposite side were all in the realm of weak divine power.

Fortunately, the followers summoned by the two seemed to be the nemesis of that kind of monster. After those monsters found that their methods had no effect on the followers summoned by Zhang Zhi, they actually drilled into the void and disappeared.

Zhang Zhi's eyelids twitched when he saw the method of controlling space.
