#615 - Ancestor worship method? ; accident

"When a living being's spirit exceeds a certain level, it will awaken intelligence and become a sentient creature!"

"At the same time, souls transforming into the eerie and the wicked is also due to the loss of spirit."

"According to this, if the souls of sentient beings could continuously replenish spirit after death, then it's very likely that they wouldn't transform into the eerie and the wicked."

After a pause, Zhang Zhi continued to say slowly, "Therefore, I believe that this human path in this world is very likely to be an extremely rare path related to spirit."

Liu Wanwan understood the meaning of Zhang Zhi's words at this time: "You mean that the souls enshrined within those temples, under the effect of this cultivation path, can absorb the spirit of other creatures?"

"The spirit possessed by other races within this world region is insufficient, so intelligence cannot be born?"

"The human race within this world uses those temples, which are spread throughout the vast majority of the world, to prevent other intelligent creatures from developing intelligence?"

"So, this world only has the human race as a single race?"

Zhang Zhi slowly nodded: "I think it's very likely to be this reason."

Liu Wanwan said after pondering for a while: "However, I think there are still many problems here."

"For example, these temples that are everywhere, if they are really supplied with spirit, the spirit required by those souls within the temples must be an astronomical number."

"Also, does every world within this region have these temples?"

"Otherwise, in some remote worlds, there will definitely still be the possibility of intelligent races being born."

"Also, what means does the human race use to control those souls within the temples? If there are not enough various animals in a certain area, what do they use to ensure the spirit required for the consumption of those souls?"

After hearing the questions raised by Liu Wanwan, Zhang Zhi glanced at the human city not far below, and then slowly said:

"Regarding the problem of remote areas, it's very simple. These souls are not bound to the land. As long as there is a supplement of spirit, they can naturally roam everywhere within this world region."

"As for the spirit required for consumption, it's actually very simple. I said the reason earlier. These souls are not bound to the land and can go to other areas to find spirit."

"Do you still remember the reason why we came here?"

"It's because the higher-ups here said that more than a dozen worlds within their jurisdiction have been attacked by some kind of alien race."

"At the same time, a large number of clansmen have also been abducted."

"In the war with alien races, have you ever heard of the operation of abducting ordinary clansmen from the other side?"

"Anyway, I've never heard of it."

"On the battlefield between alien races, there is only you die or I live. If you want to obtain information about the alien race, directly kill the enemy's high-level officials and search their souls."

"Unless there is a need for blood sacrifices or the like, there will be this kind of action of abducting ordinary clansmen from the other side."

"Therefore, the human races of different forces in this world are very likely to supplement the spirit required by those souls within the temples through means such as blood sacrifices."

Hearing Zhang Zhi say this, Liu Wanwan took a deep breath: "So, most of the human races in this world are stained with the blood of their own clansmen?"

"No wonder the main world doesn't open the teleportation array to the human race in this world region."

"The higher-ups must have discovered the problem in this world before, but they were too busy with the mind flayer's affairs to take care of it, so they could only put it aside for now."

"Thinking of slowly dealing with the affairs of this world region after dealing with the mind flayer's side."

Zhang Zhi gently shook his head and said: "Actually, it's not just this reason."

"It should be that the human race's higher-ups have not yet decided how to deal with the human race in this world."

"After all, in the human race's cognition of these human races, there is nothing wrong with them doing so."

"Back then, when our human race's forces were not yet unified, didn't the human races of several main worlds also fight to the death."

"The human race in this world believes that they are doing this to ensure the eternal protagonist status of the human race within this world region. In this process, sacrificing some human races is acceptable."

"Just like now, if we can find a way to determine that the human race will become the eternal protagonist within the multiverse, and the price is that a certain number of humans may need to be sacrificed."

"If there really is such a method, I think most of the human races in the main world would agree without hesitation."

Liu Wanwan nodded silently in her heart after hearing this, thinking that indeed, if there is a way now that requires sacrificing a part to make the human race the protagonist of the multiverse, even she would vote in favor.

Zhang Zhi continued to say: "The human race's main world deeply hates blood sacrifices and sacrificing clansmen, so even if there are extenuating circumstances, the human race in the main world will definitely not accept this kind of thing."

"Of course, it is also possible that the human race's higher-ups have many concerns about the cultivation path of the human race in this world."

"Maybe they will open up the exchange between this region and the human races in other places after they have completely understood this cultivation path and determined how to deal with the human race in this world?"

"Although the strength of the human race in this world is not strong, they have been the protagonist of the world region for I don't know how many epochs, and they still have a lot of arrogance."

"If it is not handled well, the human race in this world region is very likely to become estranged from the human race in the main world."

After listening to Zhang Zhi, Liu Wanwan thought for a while and asked: "Then do we still have to continue looking for the so-called suddenly appearing alien race?"

"After all, those alien races are very likely to be the human race of other forces nearby."

Zhang Zhi nodded and said: "Find, we definitely have to. Moreover, we have to look for it with great fanfare."

"Only in this way can we dig out more information from the mouths of the human race here."

"Similarly, we can also learn more about the specific situation of this world."

"After all, we came here at their request to find those so-called alien races."

. . . , . . .

Three days later, Zhang Zhi slowly flew out of a temple.

The two of them visited all seventeen forces in this world in these three days.

From the process of communicating with these seventeen forces, they can be regarded as having collected some useful information.

As Zhang Zhi had previously speculated, the seventeen forces in this world are indeed seventeen family forces.

And these seventeen families are all branches of a family that possesses a being in the realm of weak divine power.

Within these seventeen families, even the mortals all have the same surname.

That is to say, this large small world has a total of only seventeen surnames.

Of course, this does not mean that everyone has the same ancestor. Among the members of a family, there are those who have married in, those who have merged from defeated families, those who have changed their identities for certain reasons, and even some who are more potential 'captives' who have survived.

Perhaps because the people in this region knew that Zhang Zhi and the others were coming, people at the upper levels issued something like a gag order.

But Zhang Zhi and the others came to them, and it was impossible for them not to say anything, otherwise others would definitely know there was a problem.

However, the various families did not have a unified tone, so the information obtained from different families was somewhat contradictory.

However, Zhang Zhi and the two still extracted a lot of useful information from it.

It can currently be determined that the cultivation path here is indeed as Zhang Zhi speculated, which is to cultivate by using the souls of ancestors as worship objects.

The general method of cultivation is that multiple cultivators cultivate kung fu and a certain ancestor object, which is actually the 'god' being worshiped, and 'bind' together.

These cultivators are actually contributing spirit to this 'god'.

Of course, it is not without benefits. They can easily borrow the power of this 'ancestor' when fighting.

The process is somewhat similar to Zhang Zhi's previous life's 'spiritual possession', "inviting the gods to possess the body".

Moreover, in the process of inviting the gods, in addition to consuming spirit, there is no need to consume other things at all.

It's just that the stronger the ancestor, the more spirit is required to borrow power. Therefore, when borrowing the power of those powerful ancestors, many cultivators often pay 'spirit' through blood sacrifices in order to avoid too much loss to themselves.

As for whether the sacrifices used in the blood sacrifice are creatures or people, it is difficult to say.

These are the materials related to the cultivation path that the two of them have collected in the past few days.

There are definitely still many vague places here.

For example, what is the specific cultivation process like.

For example, what is the specific relationship between the ancestors and the cultivators in this cultivation path.

For example, how are those enshrined ancestors selected, and what is special about them.

For example, how do those enshrined ancestors maintain their sanity, is it really by devouring the spirit of other creatures?

Zhang Zhi and Liu Wanwan have a lot of questions in their minds about such issues.

However, the human race in this great world has a very strong sense of defense, and it is impossible to get too much useful information from them in a short period of time.

Furthermore, this world is just one large world. Even if the cultivators here are willing to share everything they know, their knowledge is limited. They are already satisfied with roughly understanding the cultivation methods of this path.

After roughly determining the cultivation path of this world, Zhang Zhi suddenly felt that the humans of this world had no way to break through to the Weak Divine Power realm, which was likely related to their initial consumption of too much spiritual energy.

Of course, this is just a possibility.

A greater possibility is that the humans here have been suppressing the birth of other intelligent races, leading to them being targeted by the multi-universe consciousness, which intentionally limited their cultivation.

In addition to information on the cultivation path, the two also collected a lot of information related to nearby human forces.

As Zhang Zhi had previously speculated, this world area does indeed possess countless forces.

Since the foundation of this cultivation path is the family, it is destined that no large forces can be formed within this world area.

Therefore, a typical force is composed of three to five powerful families with Weak Divine Power, and dozens of vassal families.

The vast majority of forces have one to two Lesser Thousand Worlds, and a few have three.

Those with more than three Lesser Thousand Worlds are extremely rare, and cultivators in this world have never even heard of those with five or more.

The latest novels are first published on 6 9 books bar!

Zhang Zhi roughly estimated that the number of Lesser Thousand Worlds in this world area is at least over 100,000.

In other words, there are as many as tens of thousands of human forces in this world area.

No wonder the human high-level officials have not opened up the teleportation array between this area and the main human world.

Previously, the human high-level officials directly contacted the human high-level officials in the Demon Refining World area regarding these newly incorporated world areas, and discussed the conditions and requirements for incorporation.

Just like the humans in the Demon Refining World area before.

But this method simply won't work in this world area.

With tens of thousands of forces, although some have formed alliances, these so-called alliances are basically just empty shells without any real power.

That is to say, if the previous method were followed, it would be necessary to negotiate with the humans of more than 10,000 forces one by one in order to finalize the conditions for mutual exchange.

This would definitely drive the human personnel responsible for foreign affairs crazy.

In addition, given the special nature of the cultivation path in this world, it is no wonder that the humans here are still isolated from the main world even though the human race has destroyed the Mind Flayer main world for some time.

Liu Wanwan had obviously also thought of this problem, and she asked Zhang Zhi, "Based on the information we have collected, the internal affairs of the humans in this area are too complicated."

"Moreover, the actions of the humans in some forces are too evil."

"How exactly are the high-level officials of the main world preparing to deal with the humans in this area?"

After Zhang Zhi pondered for a while, he slowly said, "I feel that the high-level officials of the human race should be waiting for an opportunity."

Liu Wanwan asked with some doubt, "Opportunity? What opportunity?"

Zhang Zhi chuckled, "What other opportunity could it be but the opportunity to integrate the humans in this area?"

"No matter what, these are all humans, and there are hundreds of billions of them."

"In addition, some humans within some forces need to be purged. If the entry point is not chosen well, the humans here will easily feel threatened."

"Just like my coming here, they may be very respectful on the surface, but in reality, they are insincere and constantly engaging in small actions in private."

Liu Wanwan nodded silently upon hearing this, "Then what kind of entry point do you think the high-level officials of the main world will find?"

Zhang Zhi turned his head and glanced at the temple they had just left, "Entry point!"

"The entry point has already been prepared."

A hint of doubt appeared on Liu Wanwan's face, "Already prepared?"

Zhang Zhi nodded, "Yes, the grand banquet that will be held in just over a month!"

Liu Wanwan exclaimed softly upon hearing this, and then immediately understood the meaning of Zhang Zhi's words.

Zhang Zhi nodded to her and said, "Yes, that's right."

"The high-level officials of the main world should have sent invitations to all the human high-level officials in this area."

"Many of the human high-level officials in this world were actually fearless due to their ignorance before, and did not have a concrete concept of our strength at all. The high-level officials of the main world were concerned about the identity of the clansmen, and were also worried that many clansmen would have the idea of feeling threatened, so they were not good at directly taking action to rectify this area."

"But as long as the human high-level officials here participate in the grand banquet, they will have a direct understanding of the strength of our human race, and will understand how powerful our human race is now."

"Or rather, they will have a clear concept of the power of the human race."

"After all, when we tell them about the realms of Low Divine Power, Medium Divine Power, High Divine Power, and God Kings, they simply do not realize what these represent."

"In the eyes of the people in this world, these realms are the same as the Weak Divine Power realm, they are all gods, at most just a little more powerful."

"But in fact, the difference between the Powerful Divine Power realm and the Weak Divine Power realm is even greater than the difference between the Weak Divine Power realm and ordinary people."

"And the difference between the God King realm and the Powerful Divine Power realm is even greater than the difference between the Weak Divine Power realm and the Legendary realm."

"Only when the humans in this world have a direct understanding of these realms, and not just the few words on the information."

"Will they have some fear of the humans in our main world in their hearts."

"Will they be able to reshape their previous perceptions."

"At the same time, due to the lectures at the grand banquet, the human high-level officials in this world area will also have a direct understanding of the various cultivation paths of the main world."

"This will also make it easier for the human high-level officials to rectify the cultivation paths of the humans in this world in the future."

"After all, the cultivation path in this world area is actually an outdated path for us."

Liu Wanwan nodded slightly after listening, "Indeed, seeing is believing. After the humans in this world understand our strength, they will willingly cooperate with our integration and transformation of them."

"The upcoming grand banquet is indeed the best entry point."

"After letting the humans here understand our strength, they will have a sense of identity with us, and will be willing to accept our integration."

Zhang Zhi nodded and said, "Yes, this is actually very important!"

"In fact, I think this is also a psychological game played by the high-level officials of the main world against the humans in this world area."

"If we are too nice to them and keep thinking about how to integrate them, who knows what they are thinking in their hearts. After all, things that are offered eagerly are not good deals, and things that are given away for free are not valued by others."

"Only by letting the humans in this world understand the strength of our human race and understand our many powerful cultivation paths can the humans in this world take the initiative to propose integrating them."

"Only when they actively propose integration can we better deal with those evil forces, can we more clearly and rightfully propose conditions, and can we make them willingly cooperate with our integration."

"After all, those souls in those temples can be said to be very unstable factors."

"If we don't have the cooperation of the humans in this world, just dealing with those enshrined souls will be enough to give us a headache."

"Heaven knows how many souls of human ancestors have been enshrined by the humans in this world after so many years of accumulation."

"If these souls are not nourished by spiritual energy and turn into evil creatures or anomalies, heaven knows how many clansmen will die."

Liu Wanwan took a deep breath when she heard this, and she obviously realized the importance of this issue.

After sorting out the information at hand, the two communicated with other students exploring other worlds through their student cards and found that everyone seemed to be curious about the cultivation path of this world.

Just as Zhang Zhi thought that this practical combat class was about to end, an accident happened.

The large world he was in was attacked again!

Moreover, this time, the attackers were not the humans from other forces he thought, nor the souls of human ancestors.

Instead, they were several strange creatures that looked somewhat like animals, but also somewhat like humans, and it was unknown whether they were souls, evil creatures, or anomalies.

The first reaction Zhang Zhi had when he saw those things was, does this place have a Netherworld?

Which ox-headed and horse-faced guardians of the underworld ran out?

After all, the animal-like appearance looked somewhat similar to the ox-headed and horse-faced guardians of the underworld.

However, after careful inspection, they discovered that although those things were somewhat similar to Netherworld creatures, they were actually not Netherworld creatures.

In addition, Zhang Zhi also discovered that the force that was attacked this time seemed to have some understanding of those things, and even had some methods to restrain them.

However, the strength of the monsters that attacked this time exceeded the expectations of the humans of that force.

When Zhang Zhi and Liu Wanwan sensed the fluctuations of the battle and rushed over, they found hundreds of people lying scattered on the ground, and many more were teetering on the verge of collapse.

Because the enemy's attack methods were somewhat strange, Zhang Zhi and Liu Wanwan did not approach too closely, but directly summoned the Divine Power realm dependents.

As soon as the two sides exchanged blows, Zhang Zhi discovered that the four monsters on the opposite side were all in the Weak Divine Power realm.

Fortunately, the dependents summoned by the two seemed to be the nemesis of those monsters. After those monsters discovered that their methods had no effect on the dependents summoned by Zhang Zhi, they directly drilled into the void and disappeared.

The means of controlling space made Zhang Zhi's eyelids twitch a few times.
