Chapter 564: Chapter 316: Give Life to Time, Give Civilization to the Years 【Third Release, Request for Monthly Tickets, Request for Recommendations】

What is the history of humanity?

War? Slavery? Politics? Conquest?

No, none of these.

The history of humanity is a history of technology.

Take Earth, for example. Before Isaac Newton, there was no concept of "science." Before Kepler and Galileo, there was no spirit of science, no scientific method. Before the Pre-Qin philosophers and Plato, there was little in the way of philosophy, little in the way of mystical thought. Speculative ideas only emerged after civilizations had matured.

But technology has always been there.

Learning to live, learning to make tools, the Stone Age, the Bronze Age, the Iron Age... These are even more powerful demarcations than any historical record. And such terms have continued into modern times: the Steam Era, the Electric Era, the Information Age...

Production power determines the relations of production; the economic base determines the superstructure. Technological advancement is closely followed by societal progress.

Breakthrough technologies are the most natural methods of demarcation.

Technology is a solemn term that quietly creates wealth, leads to economic prosperity, and changes the way humans exist.

Technology is not a byproduct of science; perhaps on the contrary, science is a byproduct of technology.

Perhaps scientists pursue science out of personal aesthetic aspirations, and the cultivators of Shenzhou seek the Great Dao to make their limited selves shine indefinitely. But for civilization as a whole, what is ultimately pursued is still technology.

Different scales, different rules.

And the misleadingly similar paths of development and ways of civilization between Shenzhou and Earth, the natural dual-system of Immortal and Mortal, the mysterious coexistence of Information Age culture and feudal systems...

All these are caused by Immortal Dao technology.

To strengthen Divine Tao, it is necessary for collective endeavor.

Mortals cannot utilize the achievements of Immortal Dao civilization.

Immortal Dao civilization creates powerful individuals, but the strength of individuals does not easily translate back to the community. Ascension by association is already the limit. Unlike on Earth, where a prosperous dynasty or state necessarily brings peace and happiness to its people. Wealthy businessmen inevitably provide a wealth of job opportunities for society. Successful scientists often provide the motivation for academic achievements to be transformed into technologies, regardless of the subjective desires of politicians, businessmen, and scientists.

Thus, Earth’s socioeconomic theories may not necessarily apply in such worlds. The ideas can be referenced, but the outcomes will inevitably vary, and the patterns will inevitably be disrupted.

"The expansion of the technology black box... the low-cost nature of Immortal Dao technology... the division between Immortal and Mortal, the unnecessariness of developing Immortal Dao technology for mortals..."

In an instant, Wang Qi thought of many things.

These spells are the summations of predecessors. Their worldview is not correct; their conclusions are not scientific...

However, the "phenomena" they accumulated have left behind technology. Later generations can summarize and generalize their heritage with more scientific methods.

If the spells of Ancient Method Immortal Dao are imitations of natural phenomena, then the Ancient Method Divine Dao is an emulation of social phenomena.

Observing phenomena, summarizing, and discerning patterns... As he moved into the latter part of his reading, the pressure on Wang Qi began to decrease. Then, Jarvis connected to the Ten Thousand Immortals Illusion Realm using the freed-up computational power for emergency rental.

Countless models appeared and disappeared beside Wang Qi. From the simplest bar charts, tables, to the most complex cellular automata, Hilbert Spaces, numerous mathematical tools flashed into existence and then vanished. The computational power of the Ten Thousand Immortals True Mirror, at Immortal Artifact Level, exceeded the total of all supercomputers on Earth. With this formidable power at his support, the essence of civilization’s accumulation was extracted and reforged.

Wang Qi still supported himself with his hands on the ground. Pressing down on him was civilization.

At this moment, a voice emerged in the depths of Wang Qi’s heart.

Accept it... accept it... accept it accept it accept it accept it accept it accept it!

Accept this power!

Accept this strongest note from the depths of your soul! This is the strongest force accumulated by history!

You can summarize it, you can generalize it. Before you, All Laws Return to One. You will be a God above Gods, a King among Kings.

You will be able to strip a god of Divine Power and cast them into the Mortal World, or you can endow a mortal with divinity and elevate them to godhood. In Shenzhou, you will control everything.

Technology is power. God is technology.

Faced with this voice, Wang Qi experienced a moment of bewilderment.

Is this the demon of the collective unconscious? The residual influence of Yahweh? Heart Demons that rise taller the higher one’s Dao reaches? The dark side hidden within numerous inheritances of True Intent? Or is it the characteristics of the Divine Tao Heart Demon Curse?

However, the bewilderment lasted only a moment.

"You were once representatives of advancement, the contemplation of sages. You are the foundation of civilization, the path ground by the wheels of history."

Wang Qi lifted one hand from the ground and pressed it against his chest.

"This junior, with utmost sincerity, pays homage."

"But, you are also just the path we have traversed..."

"I have seen things beyond a cultivator’s belief—planets ignite in the midst of celestial battles, the true fire of constant stars glitter in the darkness beyond Tianhe... All these moments will be lost in time’s flow, like tears in rain..."

"The moment of death has long passed, do not linger in an era that is no longer yours."

"Grant civilization time, rather than counting the ages of civilization. In face of entropy force, civilization is insignificant, yet it is the most brilliant thing amidst the entropy flow from the beginning to the end. Do not boast about the past accumulation, boast about the brilliance of the present."

Suddenly, Wang Qi had a moment of enlightenment in his heart. It was something called "inspiration." With rigorous reasoning and speculation, it could become a new theory.

In just an instant, Wang Qi had cut through that barrier. He gasped momentarily and then his breathing steadied.

"Ha... ha... True Intent Inheritance, it really is mental contamination..."

Wang Qi opened his eyes, initially mistaking it for a Spirit Rhinoceros Bottle wholesale market. But soon, he realized this was his room, just piled up with Spirit Rhinoceros Bottles.

Chen Youjia was sitting opposite him, quietly cradling a cup of hot barley tea. Seeing him wake up, she softly said, "Awake?"

"Hmm." Wang Qi nodded and then uncomfortably looked around, "How long was I in meditation?"

"About three days..." Chen Feng’s weak voice came from the door, "If it wasn’t for your Life Flame that keeps death at bay, Youjia would have gone mad, and I had to come over and use all sorts of calming spells..."

Chen Feng was currently breathing heavily, opening his collar and looking somewhat tired.

Wang Qi asked, "Jarvis, how much of these Spirit Rhinoceros Bottles have been used?"

[The usage capacity is up to ninety-eight point seven eight percent, sir. My own capacity is about to be exhausted, currently retaining only the basic functions...]

"It looks like I need to suggest to Teacher Feng to promote things like network drives, cloud storage," Wang Qi said while looking painfully at the house full of Spirit Rhinoceros Bottles, then commanded Jarvis to pick out those that were not filled, and he then asked Chen Feng for a large Storage Bag to collect the fully packed Spirit Rhinoceros Bottles.

These Spirit Rhinoceros Bottles were cheap goods, with poor stability, maintaining up to only ten years. After ten years, the Spirit Prohibition would begin to degrade and the data would face inevitable loss.

However, it was enough. Wang Qi was confident that he could develop a stronger Heart Demon Curse and Anti-Demon Spell within ten years and remotely access that section of the Immortal Dao Burning Book List.

Thinking of the Immortal Dao Burning Book List, Wang Qi remembered Zhao Qingfeng. He first noted down his inspiration in a notebook, then used the Heart Demon Curse again to observe Zhao Qingfeng’s situation.

Zhao Qingfeng’s refining had entered the final stage. Five Banished Immortals occupied the five positions, their mana transforming through a complex array into nihility flames. The pseudo god’s purple radiance mixed with the flames, refining itself.

Wang Qi sensed the situation inside the pseudo god, but couldn’t help but be greatly shocked.

Restrictions had unexpectedly formed inside the pseudo god’s body. Some of these Spirit Prohibitions seemed artificially crafted, yet a significant part seemed to have formed naturally.

Wang Qi observed for a long time, and was surprised, "Zhao Qingfeng, that kid, is actually using this figure as a mobile hard drive, stuffing a massive amount of Divine Tao Law inside. The massive information changed the nature of the pseudo god. He also inserted a massive amount of his personal laws into these laws. If this was a divine spirit body crafted by ordinary methods, he might have indeed seized complete control. However, it’s a pity. When I can control every cell of this guy, no matter how thoroughly you brainwash him, it’s futile."

"Moreover, the power of this pseudo god has increased a lot..."

Thinking of this, Wang Qi suddenly laughed loudly.

"What are you laughing at?" Chen Youjia asked.

"These Banished Immortals really do have some tricks," Wang Qi sincerely praised, "Their technical thoughts are boundlessly imaginative and utterly ruthless. The more imaginative and ruthless they are, the more data I collect!"

"Maybe, the major tasks of developing Divine Tao Technology and applying the Heart Demon Curse can be dumped onto them!"

Wang Qi laughed heartily and extended his hand, "I’ll give you another push!"

Zhao Qingfeng’s refining was at a crucial moment. He hoped to refine the deity into a longbow. This was the original image set by Wang Qi and inevitably the most suitable form for this divine being’s power.

However, suddenly, he felt a force emanating from the divine spirit body, resisting his refining.

Is this... such high spiritual nature retained even at this stage?

Zhao Qingfeng clenched his teeth, wanting to advance further. Just then, many previously unseen talismans suddenly surged out from within the divine spirit body. Zhao Qingfeng recognized that many were automatically generated talismans after the infusion of the Immortal Dao Burning Book List’s Spirit Sense.

The sudden emergence of these talismans took the refining towards an unpredictable direction, and Zhao Qingfeng suddenly felt, part of his soul was being drawn into it. Then, the luxurious purple radiance suddenly collapsed.

At last, Zhao Qingfeng found, at the center of the array, there was an unusual ornament. Delicate metal wires formed a refined and smooth frame, setting off a beautiful pink-purple gemstone.

The connection with his soul informed him, this was the deity.

Zhao Qingfeng picked up the gemstone. The instant he touched the gemstone, he suddenly felt the believers’ prayers, sensed a mystical network.

Many ideas appeared in his mind. Zhao Qingfeng suddenly laughed.

So it turns out... Divine Tao Law can be used this way!

With this knowledge, my combat power can double again, matching up with the elites of Modern!

Time to study well.

Meanwhile, in another part of Divine Capital, Wang Qi also laughed.

The technical issues had been thrown out already. So...

"Focus on digesting the accumulated knowledge, converting theories. This time, the harvest has been too great."
