My construction materials are weird

"Overall, thanks to the Daoist friend, our Xia Country is the most stable, and the situation is the best. In this world of comparing who's worse, a world governed by makeshift teams, being able to achieve this is largely due to the Daoist friend's contribution."

Bi Xia offered a summary of praise, while also expressing Xuan Huang's role and the effects it had achieved.

It's not just about attacking the Ming Lake Boundary; that matter is crucial, but not the whole picture.

Looking back, it started with the killing of Qiao Liangyu, cutting off this global tumor.

Even further back, it started with the ten-year node appearing in the boundary.

The Zhenxie Department has statistics showing that in cities or human settlements where cultivators exist, the boundary becomes much more docile.

The most significant harm from the boundary occurs in cities or regions where no cultivators are present; this is where the boundary's dangers are greatest.

The Boundary Saints can't come out, but that doesn't mean they don't have means.

Enslaving and subduing some humans is still possible, even though they resist the eerie fusion of Spirit Masters, it's still a method of controlling people.

The Third Divine General of the Yin Ruins Boundary is laying out plans in this way.

The Saints have ways to wreak havoc in a region.

Think about how the Three Great Battlefields came to be; weren't they the means of the Boundary Saints? There's a lot they can do.

However, it seems the Three Great Battlefields are coming to an end, and even if they exist, they won't last long.

The reason is simple: it's still due to the Queen attacking the Ming Lake Boundary.

These Saints fear Xuan Huang Daoist settling accounts after the autumn harvest, even though there are still less than fifty years until the second stage of recovery, when fourth-tier cultivators can travel freely.

It seems like a short time, but no one dares to gamble.

Only those with irreconcilable hatred for Xuan Huang, such as the Yin Ruins Boundary, Mangshan Boundary, and East Sea Boundary, are still maintaining the Three Great Battlefields as always.

Continuing to deplete Xuan Huang's progress, consume Xuan Huang's cultivators, and delay their time.

Besides that, some boundaries that are just participating have begun to withdraw from the Three Great Battlefields, not intending to continue opposing Xuan Huang.

The situation is developing steadily and positively.

Xuan Huang and its cultivators have passed this test and stabilized.

Overall, humanity, starting from the ten-year node, can be considered to have entered a new era.

"You are all too kind,"

The Lord of All Living Beings accepted the praise frankly.

"We have come here this time to ask the Daoist friend, can you provide support to other cities, preferably with the development of cultivators who can be stationed permanently?"

Han Wu asked this time, as she is skilled in this area.

The reason for asking this is that the Eerie Association has become Xuan Huang's Myriad Spirits Palace, and there is no longer any distance issue.

As long as they wish, cultivators can go anywhere through the Myriad Spirits' teleportation.

As long as they are in the Blue Star Holy Land.

Even outer space is not impossible; Myriad Spirits can do it, but this ability is suppressed by Heaven and Earth along with the appearance of the fourth tier.

It requires self-exploration for teleportation.

"It's probably possible,"

The Lord of All Living Beings said.

"This?"

The four were not very understanding.

"It depends on whether the cultivators are ready. If they are ready, it's possible; if they still need to settle down, it's not."

The Lord of All Living Beings said.

The key is still the Four Great Families.

Although the Four Great Families have been criticized many times, they are still the ones who can handle the situation.

For a while, they were reorganizing internally, settling down and digesting, which led to the Eight Middle Schools taking the lead.

The effect? So-so. The Eight Middle Schools couldn't handle it, causing resentment among the rogue cultivators.

Currently, the Four Great Families are ready and plan to return, and with the weakening of the Three Great Battlefields, they can free up more manpower, and external expansion is already possible.

"However, I don't think there's a big problem. The cultivators must be ready. The four Daoist friends can first discuss with the Merit Hall and select the list of most critical cities. When the cultivators act, they can first enter these cities or strongholds."

The four breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this; that's good.

"Then we thank the Daoist friend."

Bi Xia said.

"No need to be so polite; this is also what we want to do."

The Lord of All Living Beings is all about being open and not hiding anything.

After the important matters were finished.

Bi Xia asked with a bit of 'seeming loss of composure': "I wonder what the Daoist friend thinks of the future situation? Do you have any specific plans? Can you give us some guidance?"

This sentence will become a key point, a crucial node.

It represents that after the resurgence of the eerie and the fusion of myriad realms, the mission of Spirit Masters, the strongest guardians of humanity, has reached a periodic end.

In the future, it will enter an era led by cultivators, an era where cultivators become the primary mainstream.

Moreover, the most wonderful thing is that this shift of power is not through conquest and bloody replacement, but a very peaceful handover.

It did not cause a large-scale, cruel showdown between the two forces.

It started with Bi Xia's words.

His asking this represents this meaning; otherwise, how could the dignified Spirit Masters, the number one power of humanity, the guardians of humanity after the resurgence of the eerie, ask the opinion of other forces?

And he specifically said to give some guidance.

What kind of person is Bi Xia?

Always the number one Spirit Master, starting at the peak and staying there until now.

The force he leads is also the largest force; this dual identity is the best proof.

"You Daoist friends are too kind; I dare not offer guidance."

Although the Lord of All Living Beings has the domineering aura of 'who else but me' and the imposing manner of controlling the world.

But with Bi Xia and the other three expressing themselves in this way, he is still very polite.

"The facts are so, the people's hearts are so, and the strength is also so; Daoist friend, please don't be so polite,"

Bi Xia said.

It's unknown what his state of mind was when he said this.

The other three ministers were actually a little disappointed.

They had been fighting for so long, and before, there was a feeling of ice and fire being incompatible, and the ideological struggle was getting closer and closer to the brink of collapse.

Who would have thought that things would change, and the ones who defeated them were not the opponents they thought they were, Bi Xia, Han Wu, etc., but a third party.

This third party, like a dimensionality reduction strike, directly swept away themselves and their opponents.

They suddenly realized that before, they were just making small troubles.

Speaking of sadness, there was a bit.

Speaking of disappointment, there was also some.

But more of it was the complex emotion of helplessness as the flowers fell.

Like a saying that had been circulating before, "The one who defeats you is not your peer, but others who come from across borders."

Although they didn't admit the strength of the cultivators, and could maintain it for a long time by being ostriches and sealing themselves off, it was ultimately deceiving themselves and not the act of a gentleman.

It's better to accept it frankly, to be replaced frankly.

This is great courage, great vision, and great wisdom.

Besides, Xuan Huang Daoist friend deserves it!

They were convinced.

The four came this time after making this decision.

Power shifted, turning to the second line.

As for personal advice, it could only be ranked second.

"Since you Daoist friends want to hear it, then I will offer my humble opinion to introduce it."

The Lord of All Living Beings said this way.

Seemingly very polite, but actually admitting it, admitting the shift of power.

"Follow my will, do as much as your ability allows. The first principle is: We, the people of Xia, should first manage the affairs within our own Xia. Do you all agree with this?"

The Lord of All Life said.

Although the four were loving and great, they agreed with this view. They had experienced thankless tasks before and were already disheartened.

Previously, Bi Xia had risked danger many times to support foreign countries. His reputation was so resounding, and he was recognized as the number one person because of this.

Without exception, every word, every poem, every action, every essence, every appearance, every look!

But what was the result?

It can only be described as a complete mess.

When they needed him, they were extremely polite, even kneeling and begging.

Once he was done, they wanted him to leave quickly, not to establish any branches, saying that they didn't welcome people from Xia and didn't want to be ruled by Xia. The public resentment, under guidance, was unusually strong.

Bi Xia was already heartbroken. Was this ruling them?

Who was it that asked them to provide support and preferably establish permanent branches to resist the crisis of the strange?

Good heavens, they said one thing when asking for help, and then something completely different afterward.

That's how the Town of Evil Department remained the strongest spiritual organization within Xia.

It's not that they hadn't tried to expand, but they all returned with their tails between their legs.

People like that, even if you asked them to protect you, they wouldn't do it again. They had already seen through it.

Perhaps the common people were good, but they couldn't resist the instigation of the local spiritual forces. The common people still trusted their own spiritualists, not the spiritualists of Xia.

And then...?

Then the Xia Town of Evil Department was driven away, and these common people were cruelly treated by the local spiritualists.

With the rule of law destroyed, one can imagine what it was like.

Even before the resurgence of the strange, there was arbitrary killing. After the resurgence, with the government losing control, it was a completely cruel survival-of-the-fittest environment.

The situation within Xia was also bad before, but compared to other countries, it was outstanding.

Bi Xia was right about the ramshackle team and the world of comparing who's worse.

"We agree with this. Even if you didn't say it, we would remind you. How should I put it... we tried it before, but it was a complete mess."

Bi Xia directly agreed, using his own history of blood and tears as an example.

"Good, this is the first point. It seems everyone has a common language, which is very good," the Lord of All Life said with a smile.

It's not that the lives of foreigners are not lives, or that there is no compassion and love.

But you must first fix your own home. If you fix your own home and still want to help others for fun, that's too much.

Moreover, the current world is not the stable world of the past with complex relationships, trade, overcapacity, the need for layouts, and the need to explore markets.

Such a world requires some means.

But the world of the resurgence of the strange doesn't need that. There's no trade at all. Just being alive is already great luck.

"It's not that we are unwilling to help in times of distress, but it's a thankless task. The pursuit of the Dao has always been difficult, and the Dao has always been desirable but unattainable. The ancients said: Nine generations of accumulating virtue and doing good deeds are exchanged for a single chance to cultivate the Dao in the tenth generation."

"Cultivating the Dao and learning the Dharma are matters of opportunity and luck. Being able to spread it to my own people without any cost is already the greatest compassion. I can't do any more than that. Different cultures have different ways of thinking. Others might think that we are harming them by spreading the Dharma. What is easily obtained is always not cherished. There's no way around that."

The Lord of All Life tried to salvage the situation, stating some existing reasons.

These were indeed difficult to refute.

Not to mention foreign countries, even within the country, if there wasn't a situation where there was no way out, who would believe it if you suddenly said they could come and learn my Xuan Huang Dao Dharma?

Who knows if you are a scammer trying to harm me?

And are you human or strange? Who can guarantee that you are not a strange being trying to spread misfortune through the spread of the Dao Dharma?

Xuan Huang started spreading from the martial arts hall for this reason. First, let our own people believe it. Once there are results, you don't need to say it yourself. Everyone will see the benefits and flock to it.

This is already Xuan Huang's greatest benevolence.

Of course, it is also related to crowdfunding for cultivating immortality. Xuan Huang is not really completely spotless and without any selfish intentions.

That's impossible.

The current problem is that even if you want Xuan Huang to crowdfund, he is unwilling to do it, as it would face many troubles.

Although his strength can sweep away everything, why bother doing something thankless?

Believe it or not, get lost. There is still something to be learned from the Daoist way of thinking.

"What Daoist friend says makes sense," the four expressed their agreement.

Especially Zhao Zheng, Tang Zong, and Han Wu, who had only recently made the decision, let alone others.

"Other aspects are hard to say, because we can't be sure, but in any case, enhancing oneself is always the most crucial thing. As long as one's cultivation is sufficient, one will have the ability to resist all risks, whether it's the strange, falling stars, the holy ones of the realm, or small worlds, foreign races, etc... The only thing that can be determined is one's own strength. There's no need to worry about that."

It seemed like a bunch of nonsense, but depending on who was listening, the effect was completely different.

There were many uncertainties, but the certainty was that one's own strength was sufficient.

This was what the four of them wanted to hear the most, a certainty.

And before, others were asking themselves this question, but now they were asking someone else, and the change in identity was completely different.

Before, they were the lighthouse, the human's sea-supporting golden beam and sky-propping jade pillar, and they had to bear all the difficult problems themselves.

Now it was like putting down a thousand pounds of burden, finally not needing to move forward with a heavy load, finally releasing a thousand pounds of pressure.

Someone else was shouldering it.

And the one who was shouldering it said there was no need to worry, which was the most wonderful thing.

"What about our spiritualists?"

Bi Xia asked.

"Just let it be. Those who want to switch to cultivators can switch, and those who want to continue exploring the path of spiritualists can do so. Effort will not be wasted. Wu Hui You De has already re-entered the second level."

The Lord of All Life said, mentioning one of the Eight Great Protectors, Wu Hui You De.

These two were the first to switch to cultivators and were accepted by Xuan Huang as protectors of the Merit Hall.

Now, Wu Hui and You De have already re-entered the second level.

The two were originally second-level spiritualists, so the Lord of All Life said that effort would not be wasted.

Now, if you want to be a spiritualist, there's no problem. If you don't want to accumulate as a spiritualist, after switching to the path of cultivators, your efforts will not be wasted.

Wu Hui and You De are proof of that.

Third-level spiritualists who switch paths can still quickly reach the third level (compared to the speed of cultivators).

In this way, if one has excellent spiritualist talent, taking the path of a spiritualist is not bad.

If you can't go further, switch to the path of a cultivator, and it might be faster than starting as a cultivator from the beginning.

The strange are currently the protagonists of destiny, with the blessing of the operation of heaven and earth, and their speed of progress can be described as rapid.

The reason why spiritualists can reach the third level in five or six years is this.

Whoever is the protagonist of the era is more likely to create miracles and is the most compatible with the entire environment of heaven and earth.

This cannot be compared.
