Chapter 315 Immortal (9k)

Luo Qing had been pondering the relationship between these "gods" and "cultivators".

The response from the fourth "god" put immense psychological pressure on Luo Qing.

Especially that phrase, "young friend."

This is a typical way for high-level cultivators to address low-level young cultivators in the cultivation world.

This term is not widely used. In the current popular cultivation culture, "ant" is generally used to replace "little friend".

The people of Earth have already mastered the common terms for evil cultivators and demonic cultivators without any instruction.

The term "little friend" is not used very often.

The other party's reply might be a glimpse into its deepest needs, a mirror reflection of its cultivation, an echo of its inner demons, or the 'thinker' it was talking to through the risk-eliminating sensor.

In short, the possibility that the other party is also a cultivator is almost non-existent.

That's it.

Luo Qing casually waved his hand, and thousands of lenses reassembled at the center of the ring, restoring the light cone telescope to its original position and refocusing on the Trisolaran galaxy.

The observation was over. It seemed that some trouble had arisen at Fleet International, but Luo Qing had long since lost interest in it.

Of these four gods, the first three are somewhat better.

The Milky Way galaxy has a diameter of 10 light-years, and all three of these "gods" are located within it.

These gods have clearly transcended the limitations of the Dark Forest Law, have no obvious malice towards civilization itself, and have different personalities and behaviors, which is a good thing.

What exactly is a "god"?
Based on the physical properties of an ideal blackbody, a regular pentahedron, an absolutely rigid body, and a stationary light sphere, this existence, which has already realized the anti-physical rules and even the anti-mathematical rules, has exceeded the limitations of cosmology.

The existence of god-like civilizations seems to have cast a great deal of uncertainty over this universe.

Luo Qing's previously fixed perceptions were gradually broadened.

He realized that a true god-like civilization is capable of distorting the 'rules'.

This didn't seem to be a good thing for him. Faced with unknown changes, this pedantic cultivator was somewhat afraid and panicked. Anything beyond his control made Luo Qing uneasy.

In particular, the death in his previous life brought about a reversal of fortune in Luo Qing's personality, a case of things turning around at their extremes.

It went from being bold and radical to being absolutely stable.

If he's not 98% certain, Luo Qing will never risk taking the next step.

This steadiness allowed Luo Qing to forcibly sever the "Three Corpses" even without fully mastering the method. His purpose was to have several obedient clones so that he wouldn't have to personally handle dangerous situations.

Good Purity (Evil Purity), Evil Purity (Child Purity), and True Self Purity (Cultivation Purity) all emerged in a muddled way.

For example, when fighting a dinosaur, he would let Shanqing do it. He would hide himself and never make a move. If he had to make a move, he would carefully consider it to ensure that he would not reveal even the slightest bit of his strength.

Luo Qing is a typical cultivator from the Nine Provinces: incredibly stubborn, incredibly steadfast in his beliefs, and incredibly clear in his Dao heart.

Furthermore, they possess an extremely strong desire to follow the Dao and unwavering belief in their own path of cultivation.

A typical example is that Luo Qing's cultivation method was called Qingyun Dao Fa, but the cover was smeared with "Ruthless Dao Fa" by some bastard. Then, the ignorant and naive Luo Qing accepted the "Ruthless" Dao Fa bestowed by his master and cultivated it all the way to the Nascent Soul stage.

By the time his unreliable master discovered that his only disciple was becoming increasingly emotionally detached and 'heartless,' it was already too late.

Luo Qing has already shattered his core and condensed his nascent soul.

One year to Foundation Establishment, ten years to Golden Core, twenty years to Nascent Soul—this speed is the standard of a candidate for Human Emperor.

Later, his master tried various methods, even seeking out Sect Master Bai, to try and save this expressionless disciple. After more than fifty years of effort, he finally convinced Luo Qing that he was actually practicing the Azure Cloud Sword Path rather than the Ruthless Sword Path.

But his personality was beyond saving.

In desperation, the master had no choice but to take in another disciple who was locked in the gate.

As for Luo Qing, who is Luo Qing? I'm not familiar with him.

When Luo Qing entered the Nascent Soul stage, his cultivation speed slowed down significantly. It took him more than sixty years, until he was almost one hundred years old, to reach the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul stage and the half-step Divine Transformation realm.

One hundred years old is a very young age for a cultivator. A one hundred-year-old at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage can be described as a promising young man.

This is precisely why Luo Qing's personality is somewhat out of place compared to the Dao Sect, where everyone is acting crazy.

Luo Qing's Dao Sect is the largest sect in the Nine Provinces, known as "all laws return to the Dao". Its lineage comes from the Dao Ancestor of the Nine Provinces, and it was established long before the Human Emperor Era. Its origins are rooted in the inheritance of the Dao Sect in the Old Immortal Realm.

The Dao Ancestor of the Nine Provinces is one of the incarnations of the Dao Ancestor of the Immortal Realm, who is the source of all cultivation methods. He is hailed as standing at the end of the Dao, a supreme being who has united his past, present, and future lives to attain the ultimate state of Hunyuan Wuji Immortal.

Of course, the hellish joke of the invincible Dao Ancestor reincarnating as a little novice monk is another matter entirely.

In short, after Luo Qing, in his cub form, was brought into the Dao Sect, due to the Dao Sect's extremely rich cultivation methods, Luo Qing's spiritual root was verified and he was successfully assigned to the Qingyun lineage, which was more compatible with his spiritual root, and was carefully taught by the Qingyun Peak Master, who was in the Integration Stage.

This Qingyun Peak Master is Luo Qing's master.

After Luo Qing achieved Foundation Establishment in a year, the Qingyun Peak Master boasted to everyone he met that his disciple possessed the potential of a Human Emperor. He even upgraded Luo Qing's status to— to demonstrate his unwavering determination in nurturing Luo Qing.

Personal disciple, founder, closed-door disciple, senior disciple.

After reaching the Foundation Establishment stage, the young Luo Qing had no time to cultivate. He was carried on his master's shoulders all day to various peaks of the Dao Sect to boast, especially to the peak master of his mortal enemy.

The Qingyun Peak Master held the bewildered infant Luo Qing in his arms and mocked his arch-enemy's misfit disciples.

"My disciple advances one Qi Refining realm per month, and reaches Foundation Establishment in less than a year. Isn't that amazing?"

Peak Master Hongyun forced a smile, his teeth itching: "Yes, your disciple is truly remarkable."

"whee."

After finishing his smirk, the Qingyun Peak Master leisurely departed.

After that, every day, the young Luo Qing, who had just entered a state of cultivation, would be caught by his master and carried on his shoulders to visit each household.

For some reason, most of the hundreds of branch peaks of the Dao Sect, including the key functional peak masters such as the Pill Peak, Weapon Refining Peak, Spirit Plant Peak, and Beast Taming Peak, are Master's mortal enemies.

Most of the peak masters are at the Nascent Soul stage. The young Luo Qing vaguely realized why his master, who was at the Integration stage, was still only a peak master and had not taken a step closer to becoming a vice sect master or elder.

Two years passed like this, until Luo Qing was three years old and realized that if he continued like this, his cultivation would have problems. He had been at the Foundation Establishment stage for two years and was still stuck in the early stage of Foundation Establishment.

The cub Luo Qing leaped and bounded away from Qingyun Peak, finding Sect Master Bai and angrily rebuking his master for his crimes.

With his master under house arrest for ten years, Luo Qing had ample time to cultivate again. Eight years later, he condensed a smooth and full golden core, becoming a mature Golden Core cultivator.

For the next ten years, Luo Qing, who was at the Golden Core stage, continued to break through at a rate of one minor realm per year, one intermediate realm every three years, and one major realm every ten years, eventually becoming a Nascent Soul stage cultivator in his twenties.

As expected, this young Nascent Soul cultivator became one of the candidates for Human Emperor chosen by the Earth Vein.

After entering the Nascent Soul stage, Luo Qing's breakthrough speed slowed down significantly. It took him nearly seventy years to break through from the early Nascent Soul stage to the perfect Nascent Soul stage.

If everything goes smoothly, Luo Qing should have a chance to compete for the Human Emperor position with other candidates of the same generation, although he will most likely be defeated by other exceptionally talented candidates like Ji Kongkong.

But he was also a candidate for the Human Emperor, which is the same as being nominated for the Nobel Prize.

So impressive!
In short, Luo Qing had truly seen the world. Although he had never left the Central Plains in his life, he had traveled to other worlds and had some knowledge of them.

It's quite reasonable for a Beijing native to have never been to any province but has traveled abroad.

Luo Qing has a wide range of knowledge and has seen high-level cultivators fight, so he knows the level of a real battle.

After all, their own sect leader would occasionally cause some kind of chaos, such as Golden Core stage battles or Nascent Soul stage battles, and sometimes he would get so angry that he would turn into a Tribulation Transcending stage cultivator and go all out.

In addition to witnessing battles between high-level cultivators firsthand, Luo Qing had also fought against Earth Immortals and, with the blessing of the will of all living beings, fought against the invasion of extraterrestrial demons—that is, Earth Immortal monsters—at the Nascent Soul stage.

He naturally knew the level of a celestial's combat power. If a cultivator in the Fusion stage could kick a star, and an ordinary cultivator in the Tribulation stage could crush a black hole, then a cultivator in the Strong Tribulation stage, under extreme conditions, could suppress or even destroy the Milky Way.

Earthly immortals, on the other hand, can easily destroy galaxy-level worlds.

While cultivators at the Tribulation Transcending stage cannot reach the maximum speed of light, they can still tear through space to reach their destination directly. However, this kind of space-tearing is often not applicable across worlds.

It can only tear through space within this world.

For higher-level cosmic structures, such as galaxy clusters, superclusters, and cosmic fibers, ordinary cataclysmic events are powerless.

The first three "gods" gave Luo Qing the feeling of being at least Tribulation Transcending Realm cultivators, or even "immortal" level cultivators.

This is a very scary thing.

Why is it considered terrifying?
It is important to know that the "Risk Eliminator Sensor" created by the Risk Eliminator, that ideal black body, can fly at the speed of light, ignore any attack, and devour everything. It has at least the combat power of a combined-level being.

And similar ideal black bodies, the risk eliminater created at least 37 trillion of them.

Looking up at the sky.

37 trillion Nascent Soul stage cultivators.

Even if you include all the cats and dogs in Kyushu, there aren't that many creatures.

Assuming that the Risk Remover stationed in the Milky Way is a "Celestial" level cultivator, it would mean that the Risk Remover civilization alone has more than 3000 "Celestial" level cultivators.

There are at least a dozen different kinds of gods in the Milky Way. Assuming that the groups behind these god-level individuals are all around 3000, then it means that the god-level civilizations represented by these god-level individuals alone have at least 10 "immortal" level cultivators.

Even though most god-level individuals are not as strong as risk-relief individuals, the power of a "tribulation-crossing" cultivator is still present.

Even if we take a step back, that's still 30,000 cultivators at the Tribulation Transcending stage.

Luo Qing had never seen or heard of so many cultivators at the Tribulation Transcending stage in his entire life.

It should be noted that even in its most prosperous ancient times, the Nine Provinces only had a little over 20 cultivators at the Tribulation Transcending stage. Even so, the Nine Provinces were already referred to as the Lesser Immortal Realm by the former Immortal Realm.

Even if we exclude a certain human emperor, the Nine Provinces world is already among the top-tier existences in the vast majority of pure cultivation worlds.

The more than 20 Tribulation Transcending stage cultivators at their peak were the fundamental reason why Kyushu looked down on most other worlds. After the destruction of the Immortal Realm, only Kyushu, with its profound foundation, persisted in the face of the periodic appearance of "Earth Immortal-level" extraterrestrial demons, and withstood the test until the last Human Emperor appeared.

Here, by simply estimating the known number of god-level individuals, a terrifying figure of 30,000 cultivators in the Tribulation Transcending stage has already been derived.

And this is only a small part of the vast universe.

Luo Qing did not believe that there were more than ten god-level individuals residing in the Milky Way galaxy, but that there were none in other galaxies.

Does it not exist in the Andromeda Galaxy? Does it not exist in the Large Magellanic Cloud?
Not to mention galaxy clusters, superclusters, cosmic fibers, and even the observable universe beyond the KBC void.

The universe is still expanding at a speed faster than light, and the rate of expansion is still unknown. The observable universe is only a small part of the universe.

The universe is too big.

He had already expressed this sentiment when Luo Qing first broke through the Kármán line and entered space.

Back in my hometown, there are countless worlds. Even after 90% of them were destroyed by the Black Tide, there are still tens of thousands of worlds. However, the size of those so-called "worlds" is not large. The vast majority of worlds are no larger than the 100,000 light-year diameter of the Milky Way.

Taking [Nine Provinces], [Eight Desolations], and [Ten Lands] as examples, these three are cultivation worlds of the same level. Among them, Nine Provinces is a world with a round sky and a square earth. The standard area of ​​Nine Provinces is about 10 times the size of Jupiter, or about 1200 times the area of ​​Earth.

This is naturally very large. Kyushu has more mountains over 10,000 meters high than the Earth has more mountains over 1,000 meters high. If the Pacific Ocean were moved to Kyushu, it would only be considered a large lake.

This difference in size is also why Luo Qing felt that Earth was a "small world" when he first came from the time travel.

If we flatten and straighten out the "Nine Provinces" and include all the secret realms, then the actual surface area of ​​the Nine Provinces is roughly the same as the circumference of Earth's planetary orbit.

That is, the radius of one astronomical unit.

The area of ​​Earth's orbit is 1.38 million times the area of ​​Earth's surface; this is the true ratio of the area of ​​Kyushu to that of Earth.

But... it's not quite up to par in this universe.

Of course, the energy density in the cultivation world is significantly higher than that in the outer space. A Nascent Soul cultivator who can kick stars like balls in the universe can only move mountains and seas in the cultivation world.

There is no doubt that the energy level in the hometown is high.

But the material universe is much larger, that much is undeniable.

The so-called world in my hometown is mostly a cluster of world bubbles of varying sizes. The smaller ones are as dense as Kyushu, with a radius of only about one astronomical unit, while the larger ones can be comparable to the Milky Way, with a radius of about 10 light-years.

Generally, the larger the world, the weaker its energy level. Worlds measured in light-years are basically low-spirited or spiritless cosmic structures. The cultivation world is mostly a condensed structure with a flat earth and a round heaven.

These hundreds of thousands of worlds float and wander in the void. Once the boundary is broken, only endless void remains outside.

Take a chestnut.

In the [Observer World] of my hometown, this is a world where cameras have become sentient. Its technology is very advanced, and it has also unified the four fundamental force formulas. Its technology is significantly superior to that of civilizations such as humans, the Trisolarans, and the First Earth. It is able to hollow out thousands of planets under its rule and turn them into mechanical behemoths to fight against the invasion of monsters at the level of Earth Immortals.

But that's all. The entire observer world is only about a few thousand planets. Even if we consider that each planet occupies a star system, there are only a few thousand star systems.

This is the entirety of the [Observer World]. This powerful technological civilization is one of the few worlds, besides Kyushu, that can rely on its own strength to fight against extraterrestrial demons at the Earth Immortal level and thus struggle to survive.

[Observer World] is already considered one of the largest and most technologically advanced worlds among the myriad worlds that suffered the calamity of the Immortal Realm. Its leaders, the three so-called world rulers who claim to represent entropy increase, entropy decrease, and entropy balance, are at most only three Transcending Tribulation stage warriors. They can only contend with Earth Immortal level monsters, relying entirely on science and technology and the threat of self-destruction.

They mainly rely on the threat of self-destruction.

This is the [Observer World], which contains thousands of star systems.
Luo Qing observed 2.3 stars within 200 light-years of the solar system.

Then there are nine hundred billion stars in the entire Milky Way galaxy.

Then the Virgo Cluster, where the Milky Way is located, contains 3000 galaxies.

Then the Laniakea Supercluster contains hundreds of galaxy clusters of the Virgo Cluster size, and hundreds of thousands of galaxies.

Then the Laniakea Supercluster is part of this filamentary structure, which is just a small filamentary structure in the KBC Void. The KBC Void is a small corner of the observable universe, which is a finite small region of the entire universe, while the real universe is still expanding at a speed faster than light.

Looking up at the sky.

The Observer World once suffered a major loss when hundreds of planets were swallowed up by the spread of the Black Tide.

According to Luo Qing's observations, the isolation zone currently being advanced by the Carbon-based Federation has already destroyed at least several million stars.

In comparison, the Carbon-Based Federation is truly too evil.

Luo Qing has already counted the stars in the area where the Carbon-Based Federation will be built, which is 10,000 light-years long, 3,000 light-years high, and 500 light-years wide. At least 100 million stars within this area need to be cleared, and among these 100 million stars, there are more than 10 million star systems with planets.

That despicable carbon-based federation is nothing short of a world-destroying monster!
Moreover, after witnessing the light particle weapon, Luo Qing immediately felt that the technology-based weapon system of the [Observer World] was quite backward, which made him doubt that the "unified formula of the four basic forces" of that technological small world was fake.

Or perhaps the four fundamental forces differ between universes?
Does the difference in size also determine the solidity of the rules governing the material universe?
At least Luo Qing felt that the rules of the material universe here were indestructible.

The Earth Immortal-level monster Sparrow Eater is strong, but it is just a mindless monster reptile. As a sub-light speed kinetic energy particle weapon, the attack power of light particles is already comparable to that of the Tribulation Transcending stage. Luo Qing did not believe that thousands of light particles could not kill that Earth Immortal-level monster.

Moreover, as long as there are enough 9s representing 99.99% of the speed of light in the particle velocity value, and they can hit, even a celestial being can be blasted to death.

Or perhaps... the technological world back home isn't large enough to reach the true limits of technology?
At least Luo Qing had heard of the existence of the 'two-dimensional foil' during Commander Liu's lecture, which shows that the technological world back home still has spatial dimensions, but the problem is that the upper limit of spatial dimensions there seems to be three dimensions.

I've never heard of anyone over there learning a new, powerful technique, such as a four-dimensional swordsmanship centered around a sword hypercube. This kind of high-dimensional swordsmanship is fundamentally different from traditional space-manufacturing swordsmanship.

The dimensional advantage created by this sword technique allowed Luo Qing to kill a Nascent Soul stage enemy in a single exchange when he was at the Golden Core stage. If he and the Sword Venerable were both at the Tribulation Transcending stage, Luo Qing was confident that he could unilaterally suppress the Sword Venerable with his four-dimensional sword technique.

After all, even cultivators' various defensive techniques and spatial formations are based on the three-dimensional spatial scale of length, width, and height, and cannot defend against attacks from the fourth spatial dimension.

As for the Human Emperor...

What does the fact that the Human Emperor can fight by manipulating singularities have to do with ordinary cultivators? There has only been one Human Emperor in the entire myriad worlds. He is the one who is strong, not the world.

Excluding this outrageous Mahayana cultivator, the size of my current material universe already surpasses the total size of all the myriad worlds back home. Unless the void between these myriad worlds is also included as part of the myriad worlds, it would be very difficult to surpass this place in terms of size.

Most importantly, the Emperor's radiance shines on all places except the Emperor's Palace. Generally, when encountering danger, cultivators from outside the Nine Provinces can turn danger into safety by taking out the Emperor's statue or shouting "Emperor, save me!"

But over here, Luo Qing had secretly smashed several of the Emperor's statues, but to no avail.

Calling in reinforcements is a tradition in Kyushu, but we can't manage it all here!

Those spirit swordsmen kept asking him to call for reinforcements, but in reality, those foolish swordsmen had no idea that Luo Qing had already secretly called for reinforcements many times.

Because no one had come to fetch him for so long, Luo Qing had even dared to call the Emperor by his name.

Jiang Li! You're not in the Emperor's Palace at all! Where did you go?
Furthermore, after the Human Emperor reset the timeline by attacking the River of Time and the place where possibilities converged, the cultivators of Kyushu were reborn with their memories intact. Since the timeline was completely reshaped, the 90% of the world that had been destroyed needed to be saved again.

After all, in the previous timeline, Jiang Li only managed to save less than 3 worlds. 90% of the worlds, more than 270000 worlds, had already been lost. Jiang Li could only start over from the source and try to get a no-damage ending.

The phrase "unharmed" here refers to the fact that no mortal in the myriad realms can die from calamities in the celestial realm.

It was very difficult, but Jiang Li was very confident.

Moreover, only the cultivators of Kyushu retained their memories for a second playthrough; those from other worlds did not retain their memories.

Luo Qing, an insignificant Nascent Soul cultivator from the Nine Provinces Dao Sect, happened to be stuck at the minimum cultivation level required for cultivators to venture into the myriad worlds.

The total number of worlds in need of saving exceeds 300,000. The Nine Provinces, having been completely reset, are now devoid of the once-thriving Qi Refining realm and the abundance of Foundation Establishment cultivators. Their overall strength has plummeted back to the early Jiang Li Era, with the entire Nine Provinces having only about 80,000 to 90,000 Nascent Soul cultivators.

As a result, there weren't enough high-level cultivators, and in some simpler, smaller worlds, it was necessary to go against the rules and have a large number of Golden Core cultivators take their place.

One cultivator from Kyushu is assigned a world.

Three hundred thousand cultivators from the Nine Provinces were assigned to three hundred thousand worlds.

As a peak Nascent Soul cultivator from the Dao Sect, Luo Qing's strength was already among the top tier of cultivators saving countless worlds, and thus he was fortunate enough to be assigned a world of hellish difficulty.

This world has only three Earth Immortal Realm cultivators and fifteen Tribulation Transcending stage native demon cultivators, with only a dozen or so Earth Immortal-level extraterrestrial demons lurking outside.

Luo Qing, on the other hand, was a Nascent Soul stage old monster!
As for why so many immortal cultivators came to this world, the reason is quite simple: the resistance from this immortal cultivation world, which is on par with the Nine Provinces and the Eight Desolations, was too fierce. The immortal envoys were unable to subdue them for a long time and had no choice but to directly dispatch immortal cultivators to suppress them.

Of course, Kyushu received similar treatment later on, but the celestial envoys and the celestial cultivators they sent were all wiped out by Jiang Li.

But there can only be one Human Emperor.

In the second playthrough, all the Nascent Soul and Tribulation Transcending stage cultivators in Kyushu followed Jiang Li to fight in the Immortal Realm. Nascent Soul cultivators fought against Earth Immortals, Tribulation Transcending cultivators fought against Heavenly Immortals, and those undergoing Tribulation Transcending cultivators fought against Golden Immortals. Bai Hongtu and Yu Yin, who had reverted to the Tribulation Transcending stage, were responsible for restraining those few slacking off Hunyuan Wuji Immortals, while Jiang Li was responsible for quickly clearing the Heavenly Dao to reduce casualties from the root.

Under these circumstances, Luo Qing couldn't summon any powerful helpers at all; at most, he could call upon a few Nascent Soul Realm experts for assistance.

I really envy those cultivators from Kyushu who are assigned to worlds of technology, zombies, ghost stories, and the end of Dharma. What's the difference between this and being an emperor in the past?

The cultivation world that Luo Qing was assigned to was on par with the Nine Provinces and the Eight Desolations, but it was even fragmented.

Because this cultivation world was 'stubborn and unyielding', it persisted in resisting the invasion of extraterrestrial demons. The earth veins it generated also tirelessly produced the rudiments of the Heavenly Dao. After the Immortal Realm directly sent a Golden Immortal to kill the rudiments of the Heavenly Dao, the Earth Immortal took action and shattered the world, turning it into a broken state of "Nine Heavens and Ten Earths," even destroying its original name.

Its earth veins were also completely shattered, making it impossible to condense the rudiments of the Heavenly Dao.

So much so that this realm can only be referred to as "Nine Heavens and Ten Earths" or "Ten Earths".

After the tasks were assigned, even Sect Master Bai Hongtu clicked his tongue and gave his disciple a thumbs-up when he saw that Luo Qing had been given the task of saving the Ten Lands.

What a load of crap!
Luo Qing's only advantage is the method of harnessing the power of all beings' wishes, which was announced by the Human Emperor's Palace, along with a short introduction to the world.

For example, how did this large cultivation world initially resist the invasion of extraterrestrial demons? How were the extraterrestrial demons, unable to conquer it after a long siege, directly destroyed by the combined efforts of three Earth Immortal cultivators? How did the surviving Tribulation Transcending cultivators become their henchmen in the destruction of the world? And how were the earth veins shattered?

Apart from that, Luo Qing possessed only the strength of a Nascent Soul cultivator, a quasi-spiritual sword [Three Green Sword], and a clear Dao heart; nothing else.

Of course, it was as if they knew that the difficulty faced by some of the expeditionary cultivators had indeed exceeded expectations. Bai Hongtu, the sect leader who had been restored to the Tribulation Transcending stage, also specifically pointed out that some high-level cultivators could jump to other worlds to help after completing their own tasks. Cultivators of the Nine Provinces should help each other and work together to complete this rescue mission involving 300,000 worlds.

"Mutual assistance is the fundamental characteristic of cultivators in the Nine Provinces. Even if you belong to different sects, you should help each other more. I suggest that you make a few alliances with other sects before you set out on your expedition, so that you can call on others to help you when you encounter big trouble."

"There's still some time before the expedition. While all the cultivators from Kyushu are here, let's get to know each other better, build relationships, and if we hit it off, we can even get married. I can issue marriage certificates in bulk here." Bai Hongtu said, standing on Jiang Li's statue with a megaphone in hand.

A banner from the Kyushu Marriage Registration Office was still hanging on the chest of Jiang Li's statue.

Because Luo Qing cultivated the path of ruthlessness in his early years, he was eccentric, which was very unusual in the Taoist sect where the mental state was relatively unstable, so he did not have many companions for a time.

Luo Qing could only watch helplessly as the mid-level cultivators of the entire Nine Provinces reveled in each other's company, forming alliances and helping one another.

until……

"Um, could the two of us team up?"

A girl with freckles on her face, a timid expression, and dressed in unfashionable clothes came up to Luo Qing and mustered up her courage to say these words.

Seeing that Luo Qing remained silent, the girl clutched the hem of her clothes and said again, "I am from the Hehuan Sect, and my cultivation level is the late stage of the Nascent Soul Realm... If you can't beat me, I can help you."

Luo Qing's response to this was:
"I'm invincible."

This is also the origin of the acquaintance between a certain cultivator from the Daoist sect and a certain holy maiden from the Hehuan sect.

Of course, that's a story for another time, so let's leave it at that.

In short, before Luo Qing went on the mission, he unexpectedly heard a rumor that seemed to have been leaked by Sect Master Bai Hongtu himself, saying that His Majesty the Human Emperor was not a native of Kyushu, but an evil transmigrator from another world.

If any Daoist cultivators happen to find Jiang Li's hometown, remember to secretly tell them that they want to bring some local specialties to Jiang Li's hometown.

Luo Qing didn't quite understand why his sect leader did this, but he kept the rumor in mind, though he didn't take it seriously.

But since arriving in this world, Luo Qing has remembered this rumor again.

Could this colossal material universe I inhabit really be...?

As for his later missions in the Ten Lands, his reunion of the earth veins with the help of the Holy Maiden of the Joyful Union Sect, his merging with the nascent form of the Heavenly Dao, and his battles against the Earth Immortals and Tribulation Transcending cultivators with the vows of all beings in the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands, all of that is a story for later.

At least when Luo Qing died, he was still talking about the mortals who were affected and died, and he also mentioned the somewhat dim-witted Holy Maiden of the Hehuan Sect.

Luo Qing had considered whether, after his death, he would be kicked out of the underworld by Houtu Niangniang, or pulled out of the timeline by Jiang Li. He also considered reincarnation, becoming a ghost messenger in the underworld, or even being completely annihilated and unable to enter the cycle of reincarnation.

Regardless, he saved almost 99% of the mortals in that world who were destined to die. He did his best, and he accepted it even if it meant his own death.

but……

Where the hell am I?
Luo Qing almost suspected that he had really transmigrated to the hometown of Emperor Jiang. Sect Master Bai was right. It was not surprising at all that such a large universe would produce such a clear-headed and righteous emperor. However, after carefully studying the moral standards and mental state of the people of Earth, Luo Qing decisively shook his head.

Impossible. Even if the rumors are true, this place cannot be the hometown of the human emperor; the moral standards don't match.

The people of Earth, especially the netizens, seem to have been raised by a demonic cult. After more than two hundred years of self-education, they are only in the initial stages of human form.

This wretched place could not have given birth to a great being like Jiang Renhuang.

Luo Qing shook his head vigorously, trying to shake off the absurd thoughts from his mind.

He refocused his attention on the four gods he was observing.

Currently, the second god is the one who directly demonstrates 'power,' repeatedly crashing into the black hole singularity without sustaining any damage. This is at least the level of a cultivator in the Tribulation Transcending stage.

But is this only limited to the tribulation stage?
A cultivator at the Tribulation Transcending stage is not invincible; ultimately, this is just a high-level cultivator.

The fourth god's "absolute rigid body" is different.

This is a purely idealized object; how can it be destroyed?
If something can be destroyed, it's not a rigid body. The description of a rigid body is that it cannot be destroyed. The existence of such a thing is rooted in the essence of the world and in narrative descriptions.

Similarly, the same principle applies to ideal black bodies.

These are all physical, idealized existences specifically described for the convenience of physics calculations and exam-oriented education for primary and secondary school students.

Essentially, it is a theoretical object built on narrative.

Similar examples include "massless point mass", "absolutely smooth plane", "point light source", "line light source", "ideal gas", and "light rod, light rope, light spring".

If this absolutely rigid body has mass and can travel at the speed of light, Luo Qing is certain that this thing can directly crush and kill any Transcending Tribulation stage cultivator who doesn't have time to break through space to escape. Even a terrestrial immortal monster would be killed after a few more hits.

This thing appeared in the structure of the universe, which was far beyond Luo Qing's comprehension.

Luo Qing's understanding is based on the cutting edge of human physics and on the traditional cultivation theory of the Nine Provinces.

The more the frontiers of human physics expand, the clearer Luo Qing's understanding of the world becomes.

Now, Luo Qing's understanding has been torn open by these gods.

It's hard to say whether this is a good thing or a bad thing.

Luo Qing has been reflecting on things beyond the boundaries of his understanding, but this space is too small for him to fully describe. He is certain that once he understands all the principles, he will be able to enter the supreme and luminous realm of divine transformation.

Compared to an absolutely rigid body

The pentahedron, which defies mathematical logic, is actually easier to explain.

The light amber that seals and gathers infinite photons is the easiest to understand.

The more subtle and minor the principle that is violated, the easier it is to be accepted.
