Tao Jing looked up, intending to relax by looking at the scenery outside the window, but she froze, her expression changing instantly.
“From the moment I bestowed upon you the ‘Eye of God’ until now, you have done quite well. However, reaching the sixth rank is currently unlikely; you need time to mature.” A gentle voice reached her ears.
"You, you've arrived." Tao Jing stood up excitedly from her chair and quickly bowed slightly to show her respect.
She didn't even notice that the deity was standing right in front of her, and had been watching her from such close range for some time.
I first encountered this deity during that stadium incident.
The second time I saw her was on her way to comfort the families of fallen soldiers.
The third time was when he was on the verge of death after the battle in the Tokyo Incident.
Despite these three encounters, she still didn't know who this deity was.
This time, it's the fourth time.
"Tao Jing, I have a divine decree to give to you, no, to be precise, to give to the Xia Kingdom." Luo Sheng calmly looked at Tao Jing, whose emotions were about to overflow.
"Please give your orders, and the Xia Kingdom will certainly exert all its strength," Tao Jing said solemnly.
The gods are moral beacons and would never allow anything to plunge the Xia Kingdom into crisis. This is a tremendous opportunity, which is why she dared to directly represent the Xia Kingdom in her response.
"We don't need to mobilize the entire nation. You only need to select a few hundred elites to go to another planet and liberate that civilization." As Luo Sheng spoke, a large amount of information was transmitted to Tao Jing's mind.
Having already reached the late stage of the fifth rank, she digested this information in just a few seconds, going from surprise to seriousness and finally understanding.
Liberating a decadent empire with a civilization level of medieval decline and helping its people establish a true republic—isn't that the core of the Xia Kingdom? No wonder the gods chose the Xia Kingdom over other countries.
Other countries may also be modern civilizations, but their core is not as advanced as that of the Xia Kingdom.
However, although that other world was in the Middle Ages, it had developed a technology tree, but the technology tree was a bit off, with firearms, supernatural gadgets, and even Gundam.
“You can use this to travel to that planet, but it’s a one-time use. You will naturally return after you have completed the liberation of your civilization.” A silver glass bead appeared in Los Saint’s hand.
The glass bead flew towards Tao Jing. It was a spatial bead that could send three hundred people directly to the Empire.
Tao Jing reached out and caught it, and the moment she held it, she knew how to use it.
"Having accomplished the great feat of liberating a civilization, your advancement to the sixth rank is only natural," Luo Sheng said with a smile. "I have high hopes for you."
The fifth order is a hero of human civilization, celebrated and lauded throughout human history.
So, the sixth rank would be a legendary hero of human civilization, who would be fanatically deified by the world.
Tao Jing snapped out of her daze, realizing that Luo Sheng was about to leave, and anxiously asked.
"Could you tell me your name, great god?"
Los Saint paused for a moment and then said with a smile, "Well, after all, I've already appeared in front of you four times."
"I have many names. Those who believe in me in Western civilization call me God, or God."
"However, I prefer another name, Tianli (Heavenly Principle)."
After speaking, Luo Sheng's figure faded and disappeared under Tao Jing's gaze.
"God... Heaven's justice, the Lord of Heaven..." Tao Jing opened her mouth, utterly shocked. It was actually 'the Lord of Heaven'! The Lord of Heaven and God are the same deity!
Chapter 167: Xia Kingdom's Elites, Set Off! This is the Real Revolution!
“It’s the way things are… No wonder the cultivation laws for extraordinary beings are like this.” Tao Jing came back to her senses and unconsciously touched the ‘Eye of God’ at her waist. The Eye of God responded to her emotions and emitted a faint earthy yellow light.
Descriptions of 'Heavenly Principles' from various classical books of the Xia Kingdom came to mind.
The earliest mention of this concept can be traced back to the Spring and Autumn Period in the book "Zhuangzi: Tianyun". The concept of Tianli refers to the natural way of operation, which is the origin of all things. It is invisible and inaudible within the universe, yet it exists in all things.
This means that 'the principles of nature' are the origin of all things in nature, transcending time and space and remaining eternally unchanged.
Subsequently, the core of Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism in the Song Dynasty was "preserve the principles of Heaven and eliminate human desires." However, the principles of Heaven became apparent in this era, proving the error of Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism.
Later, it was the Ming Dynasty thinker Wang Yangming who clearly elucidated the concept of "Heavenly Principles." In his philosophy of mind, Wang Yangming explained that Heavenly Principles are unified with "innate knowledge," and that Heavenly Principles reside in the hearts of men.
The current system of extraordinary cultivation perfectly aligns with the principles of Heaven that the sage Wang Yangming elucidated for the world.
In the literary, educational, and extraordinary circles of Xia Kingdom, Wang Yangming has been hailed as the "Sage Yangming," and "Yangming's Philosophy of Mind" is a classic text that extraordinary individuals in Xia Kingdom must study.
"The mind in its original state is neither good nor evil; its actions give rise to good or evil intentions. Knowing good and evil is innate knowledge; doing good and eliminating evil is the investigation of things—the unity of knowledge and action."
buzzing~
Moved by her heart, Tao Jing felt the 'Eye of God' in her hand flickering between light and dark. She quickly took the Eye of God off her waist and placed it in front of her eyes.
This is a spiritual elevation after her mindset has reached a new level. Each elevation represents a big step forward, and her skills will also be enhanced.
Now, her skill 'Guardian Jade' can not only defend against physical attacks after the Tokyo incident, but also defend against some mental attacks.
"Space...?" Tao Jing was somewhat incredulous, but the extra information in her mind forced her to believe it.
Her 'Guardian Jade' has actually evolved into a spatial barrier. Unfolding the 'Guardian Jade' can create another layer of space within the barrier, and the skill's coverage range has reached ten kilometers.
In other words, during the duration of her ability, even if the Tsar Bomba explodes in front of her, she and those she protects will be safe and sound.
This is simply outrageous. In the face of an enemy who cannot break through space, wouldn't she be invincible?
Thinking of this, she quickly looked at the 'measuring gauge' on her wrist. The gauge showed that she was currently at [98231], having increased by six thousand points.
She surpassed the Pope of the Vatican and ranked second in the world.
Despite his excitement, he immediately picked up the military communicator, which could directly communicate with all the high-ranking officials in Xia Kingdom, as well as superhumans with the rank of colonel.
"Hello, General Tao, are you requesting military supplies? Or have you encountered some trouble?"
"Lieutenant General Tao, we haven't detected any disasters on our end."
Tao Jing said solemnly, "No, the god who gave me the Eye of God has appeared and given our Xia Kingdom a divine decree."
Everyone in the video call fell silent instantly, holding their breath.
"Here's what happened." Tao Jing repeated everything that had just occurred, every word from the conversation, and explained in detail how she helped another civilization establish a republic, the general situation of the other civilization, and the planet's environment.
"Hahaha, as expected of Lieutenant General Tao! So many scholars and experts in the fields of history, folklore, Taoism, and so on in our Xia Kingdom have analyzed and pondered for so long, but none of them could have imagined that the deity would actually be our 'God of Heaven'." The major general and commander-in-chief of the Northern General Base laughed heartily during the video call.
To be able to serve as a general, one must reach the fourth rank; to be able to serve as the commander of a general base, one must be in the late stage of the fourth rank.
"Yes, yes, Comrade Tao, you are truly blessed by God."
"It turns out that God and the heavens are the same deity."
"In our Xia Kingdom, God is the law of heaven and the way of heaven. The West doesn't have this understanding and can only venerate Him as the only god."
"General Tao Jing, helping a civilization move towards the right future is an extraordinary feat. In our history, he would be a sage."
"The benefits that those who participated in this great undertaking received are beyond our imagination."
"Our National Astronomical Observatory has been paying close attention to the solar system. The sudden appearance of two life-bearing planets has caused quite a stir. Tao Zhongjiang must be going to one of them."
"Ahem, well then, let's discuss the plan here," an elderly man in the late fourth stage said softly.
"With the full support of the country and the three hundred slots provided by God, the candidates must be fully selected."
"We don't need to worry too much about safety. Those who can participate are morally sound, and their strength is at least at the third tier."
"Experts in Marxist-Leninist thought, scientists in practical fields, tactical and united front experts, etc., are all equally well-equipped."
"I have a question here: does that spatial bead allow people to carry large objects?"
"No, but small items are allowed." Tao Jing shook her head.
A middle-aged man said, "Then I have an idea. We'll pack everything we need into space equipment, and when we arrive at that planet, we'll form a complete command center."
"What we do best is that three people can form a temporary command to mobilize and unite the people."
“Three hundred people is enough to form a complete legion-level command and mobilization center, and each of them is quite capable.”
"That's right, if this happened in ancient times, it would be like heavenly soldiers descending from the heavens, hahaha."
"The problem is, where will the space equipment come from? Should we look to Wudang Mountain? Their space equipment isn't very big either, not enough to hold a satellite and an information system."
"Hehe, seniors, you've forgotten about the immortals." A thirty-year-old man chuckled.
"We may not have it, but the immortals do. Immortals can create blessed lands and grotto-heavens, so acquiring mere spatial equipment is a piece of cake for them."
"You're really clever, kid. None of us thought of that."
"The immortals are all at the sixth level or above, and their morality far surpasses ours. They certainly won't be stingy in helping a civilization with something so important."
“Alright, it’s decided then. We’ll first gather the talents of Xia Kingdom, and your ‘Extraordinary Legion’ will send someone to visit the immortal.”
The online meeting ended quickly. Gathering three hundred people, even if they were all elites from various industries, was not an obstacle. Let alone three hundred people, even thirty thousand people would be easy for Xia Guo at present. It's just that having so few people would slow down the progress of various industries in Xia Guo.
……
A moment later, a 'teleportation anchor point' near Mount Emei became brightly lit, and an old man with gray hair and a half-foot-long beard, dressed in a gray training uniform, emerged from the light.
"This is my first time visiting an immortal." Yu Chengyue looked at the mountain in the distance, half of which was shrouded in clouds and mist: "Immortals prefer quiet and do not want to be disturbed, which is why they built the Immortal's Grotto in a place far away from roads."
Yu Chengyue tapped his toes, and lightning element bloomed in his body, enveloping him and forming a phantom of a swift, which flew towards the Immortal Cave at supersonic speed.
Outside the Immortal Cave, there is a spacious platform filled with rare and exotic plants from Teyvat, and there are also stone tables and benches on the platform.
A young man was slowly stirring the floating tea leaves on his teacup with the lid, looking up at a sliver of lightning that was approaching from afar.
"Looks like we have guests."
"Oh? It's that martial artist." The graceful, blue-clad, red-rimmed-glasses-wearing True Lord Liuyun asked in surprise.
"After learning of our thoughts, they have never come to contact us. Could it be that they have encountered an insurmountable problem by sending someone here this time?"
However, given the astonishing power of the Xia Kingdom, unless they encounter a problem at the level of a god, they wouldn't bother to contact them.
Even setting aside the immortals and gods, the Xia Kingdom's national strength was such that even the seven kingdoms of Teyvat combined could not defeat it.
“I haven’t sensed anything unusual in Xia Kingdom, nor have I noticed any restlessness among the Xia people. They must have something else to ask of me.” Zhongli finished speaking, blowing on the steam from his teacup to taste it.
The ley lines of the 'Origin Star' are much thicker than those of Teyvat, and the earth is very solid. If it weren't for his strength as a top-tier god who was about to reach the level of 'Great Power God-King', he really wouldn't have been able to amplify his perception to the entire Xia Kingdom.
Moreover, the 'Origin Star' continues to grow stronger at a considerable pace.
The strengthening of the 'Origin Star' should be directly related to Lord Tianli. As long as Lord Tianli is still alive, the 'Origin Star' will continue to grow stronger.
After all, the Pantheon and the Underworld are both on this planet, and the 'World Tree' itself is also on this planet.
The 'World Tree' on other planets is not the real World Tree, but merely a branch of the 'Silver Ancient Tree'. However, the 'Silver Ancient Tree' is very powerful, even comparable to the one in Teyvat.
Yu Chengyue arrived at the foot of the mountain peak of the Immortal Cave Heaven, clasped his hands together, and shouted loudly: "I am Yu Chengyue, a lieutenant general of the Xia Kingdom. I have a divine decree issued to the Xia Kingdom by the Heavenly Law, which requires the help of the immortal's spatial magic treasure. I request the immortal to appear and meet me."
