I Truly Am The Villian Chapter 2221: 2220: The Healthy Cycle of the World, True Martial Holy Sect

Chapter 2220: The World's Natural Cycle, The True Martial Holy Sect

Previously, the progress of the Divine Continent had been somewhat sluggish.

Through the introduction of Gongsun Muya by Xu Zimei, the path of technology began to flourish across the Divine Continent.

Currently, technology and cultivation exist side-by-side, like two sturdy legs, propelling the entire world forward at an accelerated pace.

However, following a period of intense development.

The technological path entered a phase of stabilization.

Subsequently, the Divine Continent gradually found its proper footing, with development naturally slowing.

Yet, concurrently, Xu Zimei sensed a certain stagnation within the world.

This stemmed from the ever-increasing population residing within the Divine Continent.

It is important to note that this population encompassed not only humanity but also a multitude of other races.

With the heightened rate of biological reproduction.

The spiritual energy available between heaven and earth proved insufficient to meet the escalating demand.

In the practice of cultivation, spiritual energy reigns supreme as the most critical component.

While spiritual energy can be generated continuously, a scenario where supply cannot keep pace with demand inevitably leads to the current predicament.

The primary reason for this is the exceedingly rapid development experienced by the Divine Continent.

In truth, this dilemma is not unique to the Divine Continent; every world that reaches a similar stage of development encounters this challenge.

Consider, for instance, the Nine Domains World.

The abundance of spiritual energy in the Nine Domains World pales in comparison to the Yuan Central Continent, a place Xu Zimei once inhabited, to the point of being incomparable.

It is said, however, that during the distant Primordial Era, even when the Ancient Gods were diligently seeking the Dao.

The spiritual energy was so profuse that it manifested as a thick white mist, shrouding the world in an ethereal white expanse.

But as epochs turned into eons, the spiritual energy gradually grew thinner and thinner.

Presently, the spiritual energy within the Nine Domains World is almost imperceptible to the naked eye, though fortunately, it can still be sustained.

It is projected that after several more grand epochs.

Future cultivators may find themselves in a dire situation, desperately seeking spiritual energy.

This phenomenon represents the natural developmental cycle of a world.

As the saying goes in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, that which has been long divided must unite, and that which has been long united must divide.

A world transitions from a period of prosperity into decline, and subsequently, from decline back towards glory.

This cyclical pattern, repeating endlessly, is the fundamental order of the world.

For the world to perpetuate this endless cycle, a sustainable developmental model must be established.

All beings inherently strive for survival, for a better existence, and for greater strength, constantly drawing resources from the world.

For example, when chopping wood to craft furniture.

It becomes imperative for people to actively engage in planting trees as well.

Otherwise, if the focus remains solely on harvesting, eventually, not a single tree will remain to be felled.

The development of a world follows a similar principle.

If spiritual energy is only ever extracted without any means of replenishment, there will come a time when no spiritual energy remains to be absorbed.

Within the grand tapestry of existence, all things are interconnected by unseen threads of fate.

The concept of karmic causation precisely embodies this principle.

However, for the current inhabitants, the availability of spiritual energy is a secondary concern.

This is because, within their contemporary era, spiritual energy is undeniably abundant.

The challenges faced by future generations are naturally their own to confront and resolve.

This reflects a common human failing: prioritizing immediate concerns and neglecting the future.

While others might remain indifferent, Xu Zimei cannot afford to do so.

This is because this world is his responsibility.

He must proactively devise a suitable and enduring path forward.

This constitutes the second crucial task Xu Zimei must undertake.

The remaining task is one that Xu Zimei had previously conceptualized.

It pertains to the establishment of karmic retribution.

Much like the principles of the Six Paths of Reincarnation in Buddhism.

The world's consciousness would be capable of evaluating an individual's actions throughout their life, subsequently assigning a score based on these deeds.

Those who achieve high scores would be granted rebirth into a favorable lineage in their subsequent life.

Conversely, individuals with low scores would be compelled to endure the eighteen levels of hell, settling their karmic debts before being permitted to reincarnate.

The fundamental objective behind this system is to institute a framework of karmic retribution within the world.

Virtuous actions should be met with favorable outcomes, while malevolent deeds should inevitably lead to dire consequences.

This is especially pertinent in the world of cultivation, which operates outside the purview of conventional legal systems, where the depths of human depravity can be truly unfathomable.

Consider the recent actions of the Holy Court; if they were inclined towards malevolence, the entirety of the Yinchang Kingdom, and even the Catastrophe Demon Domain, could be annihilated.

Yet, despite perpetrating such monstrous atrocities, there existed no mechanism for their punishment.

Such an outcome represents a blatant disregard for the fundamental rules governing the world.

Therefore, the three primary objectives Xu Zimei intends to pursue henceforth are the integration of divine methods, the establishment of karmic retribution, and the assurance of the world's sustained healthy operation.

Among these, the most straightforward endeavor is undoubtedly the integration of divine methods.

Xu Zimei had already achieved a significant degree of comprehension over the ten divine methods; while their integration presented certain complexities.

It was an undertaking that, with sufficient time and diligent effort, was bound to culminate in success.

Consequently, for the duration of the following month, Xu Zimei dedicated himself wholly to the arduous task of integrating these divine methods.

In reality, at his current level of attainment, very few matters could pose a significant challenge to him.

However, the process of integrating the divine methods proved to be considerably more demanding than initially anticipated.

Xu Zimei's ultimate aspiration was to seamlessly merge the ten distinct divine methods into a singular, cohesive ultimate divine method.

Throughout this month, Yin Xu also succeeded in converting the remaining portion of his Divine Soul.

Most of the resentments seemed to be fading away.

Meanwhile, the successor to the throne was confirmed: Yin Xu's second son.

The Yinchang Kingdom's royal succession wasn't predetermined for the eldest son; rather, the role fell to the most capable individual.

Yin Xu's eldest son possessed bravery but lacked wisdom, making him suitable only as a frontline general.

His youngest son was still too immature and unacquainted with the intricacies of governance.

Thus, the second son, Yin Ji, emerged as the most fitting candidate.

Following the demise of the Thousand Eyes Holy General, Xu Zimei had anticipated a swift response from the Holy Court.

However, a full month elapsed without any sign of them.

It was presumed that the Catastrophe Demon Domain's dire issues were consuming the Holy Court's attention, relegating the Yinchang Kingdom's affairs to a lower priority.

Finally, after a month's interval, Yin Xu orchestrated a grand farewell ceremony for the citizens of the Yinchang Kingdom.

During this solemn occasion, Yin Xu formally abdicated his kingship to his son.

Simultaneously, the Buddha Ancestor statues within the Imperial Palace were Tucked away by Yin Xu.

Having resolved to shoulder the entire burden himself, he could not possibly allow the Yinchang Kingdom to descend into darkness alongside him.

“A formal farewell to His Majesty!”

On this momentous day, the acclamations of the people of Zhoushou City reverberated powerfully.

Under the collective gaze of the populace, Yin Xu, accompanied by Xu Zimei and the Barefoot Monk, departed from the Yinchang Kingdom.

Xu Zimei understood that at this precise juncture, Yin Xu was experiencing a profound sense of contentment.

He was finally realizing his lifelong ambition; even if the path ahead was fraught with perils or led to his demise, the pursuit itself was sufficient.

……

Xu Zimei then transferred the remaining half of the converted divine soul to the Third-Eye Demon Monarch.

In the ensuing period, the Third-Eye Demon Monarch commenced a period of intensive seclusion, aiming for a complete fusion and thereby reaching his ultimate potential.

Xu Zimei, activating his Time-Space Shuttle, set his sights on the True Martial Holy Sect for his next destination.

This particular undertaking could be deemed a resounding success.

Even the acquisition of the Demon Worm was considered an accomplishment that surpassed all expectations.

……

The True Martial Holy Sect now extended its presence across both the Heaven Extreme Realm and the Ghost God Realm.

The True Martial Great Emperor had employed his Supreme Divine Power to shatter the dimensional boundaries separating these two realms.

Presently, the True Martial Holy Sect flourished, not only achieving immense scale but also witnessing an unending stream of exceptionally gifted disciples and formidable cultivators emerging, akin to mushrooms sprouting after a spring rain.

Although the True Martial Holy Sect's influence had not yet permeated the entirety of the Heaven Extreme Realm.

It stood as the undisputed paramount power within the Heaven Extreme Realm, its renown universally acknowledged.

At this very moment, upon Xu Zimei's arrival at the True Martial Holy Sect.

The landscape of the True Martial Holy Sect could be vividly depicted with towering Immortal Mountains, majestic Divine Beasts roaming freely, and ethereal Divine Beings traversing the void.
