The portable grandfathers that appear are all problematic.

The two were silent again.

Xue Lude never smokes, but at this moment, he really wanted to light a cigarette to clear his head, because here he had to act as the strategist. The young general was just a greenhorn, not the senior Olivia, so his wisdom was needed to think about the problems.

Damn, this is some amazing wisdom! Now you'd better start thinking about it!

When Xue Dinglu had a headache, the young man spoke up again.

“But I seem to remember from the angel’s memories that the old theocracy used to distribute bread for free…” the young general said. “There was no need to have children. The theocracy would distribute bread for free and go to the countryside to preach, awaken children’s magical aptitude, and teach them basic doctrines and writing…”

"When the angels were still around, the Holy Kingdom might have had a corrupt upper class, but at least at the grassroots level, countless missionaries like these in the mountains and countryside constituted the only hope and light for the people at the bottom of this world..."

"For the first time, I felt that these remnants of religious fighters were so wonderful and sacred. How I wish that the original, staunch religious fighters under the angels' command had not all died out. What does it matter if it's a trial of heresy? What does it matter if it's absolute order? What does it matter if it's a religious terror?"

"Brother, did you know that someone in the Starfleet once proposed a hypothesis: in the universe, all races that demonstrate intelligence will eventually converge and evolve into the form before the 'King' appeared? Similarly, if they abandon intelligence and humanity, they might regress into their original beastly form..." the young general said.

“I used to think this theory was nonsense, but now I’m starting to believe it.” He pointed out the window and said, “In this miserable world, they have already begun to gradually degenerate into beasts.”

"The vast majority of them no longer belong to the category of 'human beings'."

Xue Dinglu remained silent for a long time before finally retorting, "Have you ever considered that it is precisely because of these small acts of religious zeal that previous civilizations stagnated..."

"Because the same was true in the previous civilization, people could only guarantee that they would barely survive from starvation."

Both of them fell silent.

Even Xue's Law, with its astonishing wisdom, couldn't offer a better solution than "when my flower blooms, all other flowers wither."

"Brother, I can't stand the environment here. If there aren't any problems, I want to go straight to the monster territory. Instead of pretending to be friendly with these beasts in human skin, I'd rather actually go to the monsters' territory. I'm confident I can subdue those intelligent monsters who want to evolve into humans," the young general said.

"Because I'm here, I'm afraid I won't be able to control myself and violate the Starfleet's rules. I'm afraid I won't be able to resist and, while sleepwalking, wipe out everyone here. I'm afraid I won't be able to control myself."

For the first time, Xue Dinglu felt he had been silent for so long. He turned to the angel within him and asked, "What do you think?"

"kill!"

"Kill kill kill kill kill kill!"

“Inferior species, lowly things, all should die under my great extinction, and only then can a new civilization be born from the ruins!” she said in a hoarse voice. “If the Lord is unwilling to act, then I will do it for him!”

The angel, who ascended from the primordial era, is not suited to be a leader. Born in the primordial era, she lacked vision and perspective. Although she may have made progress at first after becoming the only god, it was truly a disaster that she still clung to the ideas of the primordial era.

If she had died after ending the War of the Beasts, it would probably have been an insurmountable mountain and chasm for future generations. It's just a pity that she lived until the time when her own thoughts began to become an obstacle.

She is only suited to be an executor, a henchman and a cruel official.

Xue also kept his head down. He knew that unless a radical change occurred, the world would have no future even if it were saved.

He wasn't the kind of person who believed that "major changes would cause major chaos," nor did he think that these legitimate maidens were something that needed to exist. However, the maidens of this world were considered by these nobles and gods to be an essential cornerstone.

Or rather, the existence of this thing is a disgusting product of extreme exploitation, where even the right to reproduce is exploited.

After the young man decided to go to the Great Forest of Monsters, Xue Lude decided to use his own two feet to traverse the suffering of this world, and then use that to formulate the corresponding prologue to the Seven Days of Creation.

He needs to see all the paths ahead clearly, measure the world with his own feet, and prepare a unique seven-day creation myth suitable for this world.

And now, he wrote on the title page.

The Innovator Era: Day One, The Great Flood

Chapter 267 A World Like a Caste System

The young man hated seeing such a tragic world and human suffering.

Especially in such a tragic world, where one resigns oneself to depravity and has no particularly good solution for the time being.

He knew he wasn't the type of person who used his brain, so he always saw himself as a more functional offensive player. After seeing this world, if he were forced to stay in the capital, he probably wouldn't be able to do anything but sulk.

Moreover, his abilities are related to space, so he can quickly provide support back and forth.

So after discussing it, the two decided to go their separate ways. Xue Dinglu planned to travel all over the Holy Kingdom, while Xiao Jiang decided to go to the Great Forest of Monsters to find the Beast King there, mainly those near-5th tier monsters with a certain level of intelligence.

Ideally, these would be the beasts whose intelligence is sufficient to begin evolving towards a kingly conformity, that is, those that begin to "transform."

Ironically, the elite among the monsters began to attempt to transform into human form, while many humans began to degenerate, some even regressing to half-orcs.

Before leaving, the young man handed the Heart of the World in his hand to Xue Dinglu.

[Heart of the World (Rank A): The core of a destroyed world, usable as a mini-world. Any enemy that invades and attacks you will be absorbed by this mini-world first. Unless one possesses the power to break through to the world level, they will never be able to leave.]

Xue Dinglu began to try to analyze this treasure.

Manually crafting a Noble Phantasm using a mod is actually more like a process of "copying" the original Noble Phantasm; the degree of copying depends on Xue's own skill level.

Because he had used the Cursed Blood so much, he remembered every detail of the Noble Phantasm and had the "Pseudo-Cursed Blood" as a reference. Therefore, Xue's Law was able to replicate the Cursed Blood with similar performance to the original.

He hasn't reached that level of proficiency with other Noble Phantasms yet.

As for replicating the Heart of This World given a prototype...

After spending several hours sweating profusely, Xue Dinglu looked at the props in his hands.

[Human Heart - False (Rank C): A fake core that can absorb and trap attacks that can only be launched after invading the body for a period of time. The duration of the trapping depends on the strength of the opponent.]

Well, at least the mechanisms are similar, only the numerical values ​​are quite different.

Seeing what Xue's Law had struggled to produce for so long, the young man remarked, "Brother, your hands-on skills are far inferior to your teacher's."

"You know my teacher?" Xue Luding looked at the young man and returned the Heart of the World to him.

"I don't recognize him, but judging from the portal and large panel inside your body, I can guess who he is. Although he's not one of us, he's someone written into our history books," the young general said, squatting on the ground and looking up at the sky.

"Brother, when you can manually modify the legacy he left behind, that's when you'll probably be considered a master."

Xue Law: "..."

The great sage told him that he would be able to modify the device when he reached around level 5.

His current skill level is still far from sufficient.

Let alone creating this system by hand, even if he disassembled the Heart of the World and made a one-to-one replica, he could only replicate something like this.

The young general carefully put away the Heart of the World and placed it in his pocket.

"By the way, do you have an organization that specializes in recycling magical artifacts?" Xue Dinglu continued to ask.

“Yes, bro, yes,” the young general said. “That place is called the Tomb of Heroes, inside the body of the Imitation King, where the treasures of our ancestors are placed, so it’s quite troublesome to apply for this.”

"The treasures of our predecessors?" Xue Dinglu suddenly felt a headache coming on.

He suddenly realized that he had blown up the hero's holy sword.

“Yes, our organization had a very difficult time at the beginning. It was hard to train new people and to obtain enough combat power and means of self-defense.” He added, “Later, our predecessors solved the problem of self-defense by using emergency communication devices, and then left behind their treasures for us, the reserves, to borrow power, which allowed us to grow stronger later.”

Xue Law: "..."

The adjective "borrowing strength" is really apt.

Our forefathers condensed their great achievements and dreams into the Noble Phantasm, paving a new path for future generations.

While it does seem a bit like a junior borrowing the power of a senior's Noble Phantasm, your scientists could even consider replicating Noble Phantasms, then fusing multiple replicas to borrow the power of multiple seniors at once.

The most important characteristic of borrowing power is that it is quick to achieve results. Even a kid like Xiao Jiang, who has just reached level 4, can quickly reach the point where no one can catch him, as he claims.

Then I need to find some time to piece together the hero's holy sword.

Far away.

The two strolled through the magic school. Just as the girl had said, pregnant girls could be seen everywhere in the academy. They didn't even shy away from their pregnancies, and some even recited magic spells in the sunlight while showing their bellies.

Some of them, even with their bellies bulging, were still flirting with Xue Dinglu and his group.

The young man's face turned even uglier.

They barely saw the boy along the way, which made him even more silent.

"The male-to-female ratio in this world is even more outrageous than in my world," he said.

"In a world where reproduction is paramount, men have a much lower reproductive value than women. Just like you said, most boys are hung on the sacred tree right after birth; they have no future of their own, no life of their own. The remaining children are either those with some magical talent, used for breeding to improve genes, or women who can provide future reproductive value..." Xue Dinglu said.

"It's like the process of breeding livestock. That's why I said that even if they realized something was wrong, they couldn't resist at all, because the only ones who could resist... were already brothers on the sacred tree when they were born."

"You can't expect the world's nobles, the merchants among the common people, the vast majority of girls among the common people who have been instilled with the value of reproduction from childhood, and the few boys who are fighting with all their might to survive. They don't have that ability."

The two continued their stroll.

The young man may have seen too little of the tragic world; he has always been angry, forever angry, and filled with deep sorrow.

“I finally understand what you meant by ‘Brother,’ why the Mind Flayers are so clever.” The young general stopped and pointed to the towering, magnificent buildings of the distant capital, the territory of the world’s nobles and gods. “Is it the best, yet most despicable, way to rule by plunging the lower classes into endless infighting?”

"Yes, during the reign of the angels, although it still looked terrible to us, at least commoners could cross social classes by becoming missionaries and magicians. But now, a large number of commoners have even become degenerate, and can only rely on extremely minor genetic mutations."

“I’m leaving, brother. Be careful here. If you encounter any problems, use the emergency contact device. Don’t worry about wasting it. I’ll get there as fast as I can, and then there will be assistance soon.” The young man stopped and instructed Xue Dinglu, “Finally, don’t use your real name.”

"Alright, alright, I'm the interstellar longevity king, don't underestimate my vitality," Xue Dinglu joked.

The two parted ways, exchanging blows before the young general used a spatial leap to leave. He was going to the Great Forest of Monsters to find the monsters who had lost in the war against humans and to win them over.

Xue Luding looked towards the direction of the magic academy in the distance, and then headed towards the dormitory.

He decided to spend the rest of the day in this academy, then travel throughout the entire capital city on the second day, then throughout the human kingdoms north of the capital city on the third day, then to the west on the fourth day, then to the south on the fifth day, then to the east on the sixth day, and finally, on the seventh day, he would stop to rest and complete the setup of the entire Century of Innovation.

The ritual method was very crude and could not compare to the methods that Zeus had devised over thousands of years.

Strangely, in Zeus's arrangement, Typhon, as the lord of monsters, assumes the position of "shadow" in the light, corresponding to "Satan" in the underworld in Genesis.

In Xue's innovative century, the young general goes to the Monster Forest to gather all the monsters and use their power.

Perhaps it's just a coincidence, Xue's Law thought.

Even without Xiao Jiang, the person going to the Monster Forest might be an angel in disguise. However, Xue Luding felt worried about the angel's mental state, so he left Xiao Jiang to him.

It just so happens that he doesn't want to stay in this religious country.

Let's leave that to Xue Dinglu.

Back in his dorm, the dorm supervisor saw him and said, "By the way, you've successfully advanced to a formal mage, and you've been moved to a better dorm here."

Xue Dinglu and the two guys who replaced the young man were wealthy men who were half-nobles. Their ancestors had divine blood, so they had corresponding families. In the structure of this theocracy, they were responsible for coordinating the transportation of materials between various cities.

After the gods obtained the supplies, these peripheral units were responsible for transporting the supplies to other cities.

To the true world's nobles and gods, they were nothing more than servants in a family, but to the common people, they were already considered nobles.

It even resembles the caste system of a certain major Eastern country.

The gods are Brahmins, the divided families are Kshatriyas, the common people are Shudras, and the degenerates and half-beasts are Dalits (slaves and untouchables).

Magicians automatically become Kshatriyas, which is why those girls risked their lives, even selling their reproductive rights for the next ten or even several decades, just to stay at the magic academy.

It's true, there's nothing new under the king.

Just as Xue Daolu opened the door to his new dormitory, he heard the sound of a shower coming from inside, along with a faint fragrance. Xue Daolu was taken aback.

His lips twitched; he had already guessed what kind of scheme this was. He immediately set up a barrier and stood outside the door, ignoring everything around him. During this time, he wrote down what he had seen and heard in "The Innovative Century."

Chapter 268 The Bizarre Adventure of Xue's Law

After several spatial jumps, the young man arrived at the Great Forest of Monsters.

He was born in the interstellar era, and his vision, knowledge, and harem were all cultivated from childhood. Although he had the arrogance and irritability typical of young people, his vision and level of understanding were no worse than anyone else's.

Therefore, he actually looked down on the methods that angels used to employ, such as religious dedication, brainwashing, and atonement.

But now, he suddenly felt that the religious warriors were also quite human. At least he just disliked the religious warriors, but in the current situation, he wanted to deal with them one by one, or even just fire a planet-destroying cannon to finish them off.

However, the angel's greatest contribution was her intelligence and the map of the entire world.

Her greatest contribution to this world was suppressing magical beasts, preventing them from setting foot in the very center of the continent, and periodically counting the number and territory of near-Tier 5 magical beasts across the entire continent, while also giving them a warning.

Therefore, the map materialized by Xue's Law through the memories of angels contains very detailed information about the territories of various beast kings and their races. Although it was a map from many years ago, high-level magical beasts have relatively long lifespans, so it should be roughly accurate.

The young warrior's first step is to visit the dragon settlements that inhabit the area around the Great Forest Volcano.

He made no attempt to conceal his aura, and after a few leaps, all the magical beasts along the way erupted in excitement.

The young general was directly teleported to the territory of the dragon settlement at the bottom of the volcano, which naturally alarmed the nerves of countless dragons, causing them to be extremely stressed.

“Dragons, I know you understand the language of humans in this world.” He took out a simultaneous translation device and said, “I’m here to negotiate. I have a way to transform you into human form!”

In that instant, a roar that resounded throughout the foot of the volcano came from the deepest part of the dragon's lair, and all the dragons cowered and returned to their lairs.

The young general breathed a sigh of relief; he had made the right bet—that the magical beasts of this world actually longed to transform into human form.

Because of convergent evolution, they didn't have time to develop intelligence at first, so they were distressed after being surpassed by humans. However, soon, as long as there are more beasts with some intelligence among the magical beasts, they will naturally understand the importance of intelligence.
