#599 - Homelessness; Unexpected reasons; Internal strife (6000)

Of course, such a small proportion wouldn't significantly affect the overall direction of the research.

However, what Zhang Zhi found a bit strange was, if some of those hundreds of people were lying, why would they lie?

Hmm?

Perhaps for the sake of face? Timidity? Or other reasons too embarrassing to mention?

However, it's indeed unavoidable that these cultivators who, due to various factors, cannot return to their previous worlds are stranded within the Trial Tower; it's not their intention.

Fortunately, they can replenish basic necessities through the Trial Secret Realm; otherwise, even maintaining basic living would be a considerable problem.

Zhang Zhi certainly couldn't force these homeless cultivators to leave the Trial Tower.

However, as time goes on, the areas of the worlds connected to the Trial Tower will increase, and the number of worlds and cities occupied by alien races will definitely increase, and the number of cultivators from those worlds and regions who flee to the Trial Tower will definitely increase as well.

In the future, a corresponding set of rules must be formulated on how to settle these people; otherwise, the number of refugees within the small world will definitely increase!

The best way to settle these people is definitely to reclaim those worlds and cities occupied by alien races, so that these stranded people will basically return to their own worlds.

But before finding a way to quickly transfer across world regions, it's basically difficult to do.

Zhang Zhi pondered the way to settle these 'refugees' in his heart, and his eyes continued to move down.

In the supplementary information provided by the subsequent staff, Zhang Zhi found that many stranded refugees actually hoped to live in a certain human world, rather than staying in the Trial Tower all the time.

Even those cultivators from harsh environments don't all like living in areas within the Trial Tower where they can't see sunlight or natural environments.

In addition, the standard rooms in hotels and the like can't be considered to have a great living environment, just a small room with a bed, a table, and a bathroom.

Such a small space is really too small for cultivators.

Precisely because of this, in fact, many people have tried to cooperate with the humans in the Myriad Race Area, and stay in the worlds within the Myriad Race Area through the method of the Trial Tower being lost.

For humans from the Heavenly Dog, Godhood Attainer, and Demon Refiner world regions, the environment in which the humans in the Myriad Race Area live now has everything they dream of, so many people want to stay in the Myriad Race Area through the Trial Secret Realm.

Through the Trial Tower being captured by alien races, resulting in everyone being unable to return to the original Trial Tower, some humans have stayed in the Myriad Race Area.

Where there are successes, there are definitely failures, and this information is exactly what those failed cultivators told the staff.

The reason why those human cultivators who did not successfully stay in the Myriad Race Area told the staff about this must be because they wanted the staff to come forward and communicate with the humans in the Myriad Race Area.

In this way, it would be much smoother than if they secretly contacted the humans in the Myriad Race Area through the Trial Secret Realm, and then stayed.

Zhang Zhi was thoughtful after reading these materials.

He thought that if there really was a large number of cultivators stranded in the Trial Tower who wanted to 'immigrate' to the Myriad Race Area, he could indeed think of a way to send these people to the Myriad Race World Area.

In this way, it can indeed solve the problem of too many stranded people in the Trial Tower to some extent.

After reading all the information on the third reason for cultivators being stranded, Zhang Zhi did not rush to check the information behind, but began to think about solutions.

The method mentioned in the data of 'immigrating' to the Myriad Race Area through the Trial Tower is indeed feasible.

However, the actual operation is very troublesome.

After all, the world to which the Trial Tower goes is random, and since the cultivators stranded in the Trial Tower due to being homeless account for 10% of the total number of stranded people, it means that nearly one million people are stranded in the Trial Tower for this reason.

One million cultivators, wanting to immigrate to the Myriad Race Area through the Trial Tower being lost?

I'm afraid this would drive the humans of the Myriad Race Area crazy, right?

As for recovering those lost worlds and cities? Can I only post tasks in the mission hall and let the humans in each world area recapture those lost areas?

In fact, there is another way to easily solve this problem, that is, to directly bring these people outside the Trial Tower, to the Qi Refining Small World.

However, due to the particularity of the Qi Refining Small World at present, Zhang Zhi does not want any creatures other than those in the Qi Refining Small World to know the details of this Trial Tower.

After thinking for a long time, Zhang Zhi really came up with several ways, but the operation is a bit troublesome.

One is to bring all the cultivators who do not want to stay in the Trial Tower outside the Trial Tower, and then take them to the Spirit Treasure Small World through the Gate of Hell.

In this way, those cultivators will basically not know about the Qi Refining Small World and the Trial Tower.

However, in this process, all the cultivators need to stay in a designated position, and also need to pass through the Gate of Hell, a place that looks extremely strange, maybe those cultivators will think they are being sacrificed.

After thinking for a while, Zhang Zhi shook his head, and it seems that this method is still a bit unfeasible.

Another one is a strange object obtained after killing the boss of the Heaven and Earth Trial, the Two Worlds Gate.

One side of this Two Worlds Gate can be placed in the Trial Tower or the Qi Refining Small World, and the other can be sent by the cultivators to a certain world in the Myriad Race Area.

However, since the Two Worlds Gate cannot be transported by teleportation or the like, the time required will not be short, and it will basically not be used in a short time.

The last one is to let those cultivators go to the Qi Refining Small World, and then make them into cards and integrate them into the Spirit Treasure Small World.

However, in this way, these cultivators will not only lose their memories and no longer be themselves, but even their cultivation qualifications and potential will decline, and Zhang Zhi will definitely not do this unless it is absolutely necessary.

After thinking for a long time, Zhang Zhi felt that he could only do multiple things at the same time, and then discuss with the humans on the Myriad Race Area side how to 'immigrate' through the Trial Tower being lost, and then see if he could recover those lost worlds.

Doing both at the same time should be able to reduce the number of cultivators stranded in the Trial Tower.

As for other methods, let's wait until there are too many people in the future.

After thinking for a long time, Zhang Zhi slowly looked towards the next page.

The content on this page also made Zhang Zhi stunned for a moment.

Because this is another reason he never thought of that would cause so many people to be stranded in the Trial Tower.

This reason is actually related to the Multi-Universe Human Race Exchange University!

As the areas of the worlds connected to the Trial Tower increase, the news that there is a school in this Trial Tower that teaches a large number of exercises for free has basically spread throughout the several world areas connected to the Trial Tower with the spread of the key cards.

In addition, Zhang Zhi has been regularly allocating various cultivation resources to the university in order to cultivate the reserve forces of these worlds.

These cultivation resources are all free.

Therefore, more and more cultivators are flocking to this Multi-Universe Human Race Exchange University.

However, the number of places recruited by this Multi-Universe Exchange University is limited, and not everyone can attend if they want to.

Now any cultivator who wants to enter the school must go through three rounds of assessment to become a student of the school.

Even thinking about the registration assessment has a certain threshold.

And as the areas of the worlds connected to the Trial Tower increase, the enrollment standards are getting higher and higher, and coupled with the particularity of the Trial Tower, a large number of cultivators have stayed down when the registration time is approaching, waiting for the arrival of the school's registration time.

At the same time, there are also a large number of successfully registered cultivators who, in order to avoid various reasons that delay and lead to not being able to catch up with the assessment in time, directly stayed in the Trial Tower after successfully registering.

Zhang Zhi checked, and there were more than 12,300 questionnaires related to the Multi-Universe Exchange University, accounting for about 9% of the total number of people surveyed.

Among them, more than 9,300 people were stranded in the Trial Tower for this reason.

And the remaining nearly 3,000 people related to the school are all family members of the students.

Many students bring their families with them to study in the Trial Tower.

Thinking about it, it's true, if they have the ability, who would be willing to separate from their family?

After all, this is not some immortal cultivation novel, and all immortal cultivators have to sever their worldly ties. In addition, the family members of those students may have higher cultivation levels than the students.

After chuckling, Zhang Zhi continued to move his eyes down, and behind it was the background research of the staff.

The actual situation is similar to the reasons stated by the people being surveyed.

However, there are still more than 200 people whose actual reasons have nothing to do with the school.

For example, there was a group of three people who initially said they were family members of a student at the school, but later, after learning that the staff would go to the school to verify, they changed their story and said they were accompanying their family members to register.

Needless to say, there must be a problem here.

For example, someone said that they were a cultivator who had successfully registered and was preparing to wait for the assessment, but after verification by the staff, that person was not on the registration list at all.

There are more than 200 surveyors like this.

Seeing this, Zhang Zhi nodded slightly, thinking that under each reason there are some cultivators who are unwilling to reveal the real reason why they are stranded in the Trial Tower.

From the data collected so far, although the proportion is not high, if the denominator is 10 million, the absolute number is still quite large.

It cannot be said that all of these people have problems, but there must be some people with big problems!

Zhang Zhi certainly has no way to let these cultivators who are stranded for school reasons leave the Trial Tower.

He even plans to expand the scale of the Multi-Universe Exchange University again in the near future. As a result, the number of family members of students stranded in the Trial Tower will definitely skyrocket.

However, it is not appropriate for these students' family members to live in areas such as hotels for a long time.

Zhang Zhi plans to refer to the layout of the schools in the main world and build a large number of residences and cave dwellings within the scope of the school to distribute to all students and lecturers.

This will also allow students to devote themselves wholeheartedly to cultivation and learning.

After checking the fourth reason, Zhang Zhi flipped through the materials in his hand and looked at the next page.

The reason on this next page is still something Zhang Zhi did not expect.

This page shows that nearly 8,300 people are stranded here because of the trading market.

Among these people, more than 6,000 are 'merchants' from various world areas, dispatched by a certain force, and stationed in the Trial Tower to purchase and sell related materials.

These forces are basically all small forces, which may be a certain family in the world, or a certain sect.

It is impossible for merchants from large forces to live in standard rooms.

Currently, among the world areas connected to the Trial Tower, only the human race in the Demon Lord World Area has integrated all the human races in the world area.

In addition, even the Myriad Race World Area has not actually integrated the human race in the entire world area.

However, the number of worlds in each world area is at least calculated in the hundreds of millions, and the number of worlds occupied by the human race in each world area is definitely not a small number.

So it is not surprising that there are a large number of merchants, hundreds of thousands, in this Trial Tower.

In addition to merchants from various forces, there are also nearly 2,000 'individual households', that is, cultivators with certain skills such as refining weapons and alchemy.

In the subsequent background investigation by the staff, it was found that, except for a few individuals, basically everyone was consistent with what they said.

However, after summarizing, the staff found that this group of people had a more obvious characteristic, that is, after staying in the Trial Tower for a certain period of time, they would 'change people'.

And the individual households will also leave the Trial Tower for a period of time before entering the Trial Tower again.

The former should be personnel changes within the force, and the latter should be returning to their world to digest the cultivation resources 'earned' from the Trial Tower.

For these cultivators, Zhang Zhi has no objection to them staying in the Trial Tower, and even hopes that there will be more people like this.

After all, only when the materials in each world area circulate and exchange what they have for what they need can the human race in each world area obtain enough cultivation resources, and can effectively improve the strength of the human race in each world area.

This page is currently the page with the least content.

Continuing to flip back, it was found that the number of reasons behind this has decreased a lot, and the number of this sixth reason has suddenly become more than 4,000.

The reason why these people have been staying here is very straightforward: fear of death!

Seeing this answer, Zhang Zhi breathed a sigh of relief. He was not angry. Those cultivators who were willing to answer the staff's survey with this reason, at least, were relatively honest.

There is great terror between life and death, and there are not many intelligent creatures who can face death directly.

Moving his eyes down, the above is full of various survey questionnaires about being surveyed cultivators and fear of death.

Most of the cultivators here should be from the Heavenly Dog World Area, the Godhood Attainer World Area, and the Demon Refiner World Area.

Especially the cultivators from the Tengu World region, many of them are very pessimistic about the future of the human race in the Tengu World region. Coupled with the extremely oppressive environment in the Tengu World region, many cultivators who couldn't persevere were unwilling to leave after arriving at the Trial Tower.

Zhang Zhi sighed at this thought.

How should I put it, these people are already better than many cultivators for being able to disregard their own face and directly tell the staff that they are staying in the Trial Tower because they are timid and afraid of death.

Among the previous reasons, many cultivators are actually staying in the Trial Tower because they are afraid of death.

However, they simply don't dare to face their own hearts, and only dare to say that they are staying in the Trial Tower because of cultivation, or because they have nowhere to go, or for some other reason.

But similarly, these cultivators who directly say that they are staying in the Trial Tower because they are afraid of death are actually somewhat pathetic, because they have completely lost their fighting spirit at this time and can basically be called useless.

These people are actually part of those whom Zhang Zhi wants to drive out of the Trial Tower the most!

But in reality, these people are actually a bit pitiful, because the environment they are in has a huge impact on why they became like this.

Many of them were not resigned to their fate at first, but the cruel environment and the deaths of a large number of companions eventually turned them into what they are now.

Thinking of this, Zhang Zhi sighed and shifted his gaze backward.

Behind it is the background investigation of these cultivators.

As Zhang Zhi had predicted, among these four thousand four hundred people, about five hundred are from the Tengu World region, more than two thousand are from the Godhood Attainers World region, and about one thousand are from the Demon Refiners World region.

The rest are from the Myriad Races, Demon, and Witch World regions.

When Zhang Zhi saw that there were only more than five hundred people from the Tengu World region, he was stunned. Shouldn't the human race be the most numerous, given the cruel environment of the Tengu World region?

But then Zhang Zhi realized: the number of people still alive in the Tengu World region is already small!

If estimated according to this ratio, among the entire ten million people, there are only about nearly forty thousand people from the Tengu World region.

Hmm? Oh, no, there must be some cultivators from the Tengu World region who are staying in the Trial Tower for other reasons.

Among all the world regions that Zhang Zhi has been to so far, Zhang Zhi believes that the Tengu World region is the most dangerous and difficult world region of all.

Therefore, he feels that if the cultivators from the Tengu World region say that they are staying in the Trial Tower because they are afraid of death, it is indeed understandable.

However, when he saw that the cultivators from the Demon Lord, or even the Myriad Races World region, said that they were staying in the Trial Tower because they were afraid of death, he was a little puzzled.

Especially the Demon Lord World region.

The Demon Lord World region can be said to be the world region with the easiest living environment among all the world regions, and there are still people staying in the Trial Tower because they are afraid of death?

And the Myriad Races World region, the Myriad Races World region is almost equivalent to paradise for the human race in other world regions. After all, the human race is now one of the largest races in the Myriad Races region.

There are even cultivators in such a region who are staying in the Trial Tower because they are afraid of death?

The nature of these people's stay is countless times heavier than the nature of those in the Tengu World region who are staying because they are afraid of death.

Thinking of this, a strange fire inexplicably rose in Zhang Zhi's heart, thinking, what do these people think of his Trial Tower?

He took a few deep breaths to calm his somewhat agitated mood.

He now understands why some people are unwilling to say the real reason why they are staying in the Trial Tower, even if they lie.

The reason for those people's stay may be even more unspeakable than the reason why cultivators in the Myriad Races region are staying here because they are afraid of death.

After reading the information about those who stayed in the Trial Tower because they were afraid of death, Zhang Zhi let out a breath and looked at the next page.

The following content is a bit different from the previous one. The reasons on this page are a bit general. The final summarized reason is: internal strife among the human race!

Due to internal strife between different forces within the human race, they were constantly hunted down after being defeated and had nowhere to go, so they hid in the Trial Tower and dared not go out.

This reason can be said to be both homeless and afraid of death, but it is not suitable to be classified into those two categories, so it is simply classified into the large category of internal strife among the human race.

The data from this type of survey is more than four hundred copies, which is not much, but it is not too little either. It's quite normal.

Of course, internal strife among the human race is definitely not the only reason. There are also things like escaping the pursuit of enemies, obtaining treasure maps/treasures, coming to the Trial Tower to avoid the limelight, and failing in internal power struggles within certain forces and then coming to the Trial Tower to avoid the limelight.

As for the cultivators who are staying in the Trial Tower for this reason, how should I put it, internal strife is inevitable within any intelligent biological race, but the degree of internal strife varies among different races.

Judging from the data of staying in the Trial Tower due to internal strife, the internal strife situation within these world regions currently connected to the Trial Tower can only be regarded as medium to low.

According to the data compiled by the staff, the region with the most serious internal strife is the Demon Refiners World region.

This is mainly due to the cruel living environment in the Demon Refiners World region.

The proportion of cultivators staying in the Trial Tower due to internal strife among the human race is not large in the total number of people staying. These people are harmless to the current number of people staying in the Trial Tower. After Zhang Zhi finished reading these materials, he shifted his gaze back and continued to check other materials.

The rest are all some reasons that are not numerous, messy, and cannot be classified into the previous major categories.

For example, reasons such as avoiding the world and finding a safe place to retreat.

The number of people added up by these scattered reasons is actually not large, only more than three thousand copies in total.

The above is all the details of this questionnaire survey.
