Put Away Your Divine Techniques Now! Chapter 1463 - 438: Exit Barrier

But Zhan Li’s status is different. She was once a Cave Maiden of the Ghost Race, a disciple of the Clan Leader, which counts as stepping into the upper echelons of the Ghost Race, so the information she received about this world is more accurate.

Zhan Li actually knows that this "Otherworld" is not at all like the legendary world where mortals are weak, only using iron weapons or bows and arrows to fight, only commanding the strength of some livestock, and most of the time relying on human power—not true!

Or to put it more accurately, it used to be like this, but not anymore.

The cultivators of the Domain Realm have long lives, often living two or three hundred years or even longer.

Thus, the timeline for the cultivators of the Domain Realm seems elongated with each passing moment.

The perception of this "Otherworld" as backward was also brought back by the Domain Realm cultivators traveling between the two worlds full of whims.

But, that was one hundred to two hundred years ago!

For the cultivators of the Domain Realm, one or two hundred years is not even half the life span of many cultivators.

But according to the information later brought by the cultivators who traversed the World Wall, along with the so-called "secrets" deliberately concealed by the Immortal Platform known to the Ghost Race upper echelons.

What Zhan Li knows is closer to the "truth": this Otherworld was indeed backward one or two hundred years ago, but in the last two hundred years, the Observing Things Skill here has progressed explosively, almost a boom in growth!

Using mules and horses as transportation, fighting with iron weapons or bows and arrows, buildings are low... these are facts.

But those were facts two hundred years ago.

Now they speak of speeding iron boxes and flying iron birds, which are also facts.

It’s just that all these happened within the span of around two hundred years, a dramatic change!

The Immortal Platform has been deliberately concealing these "news", and as a former high-ranking member of the Ghost Race, Zhan Li speculates the thoughts of those on the high Immortal Platform.

The Domain Realm... has long lacked the growth of civilization!

The Domain Realm has cultivation civilization, cultivation skills, causing cultivators in the Domain Realm to be seen as extraordinary beings in a mortal’s eyes.

But looking back, cultivation civilization has had almost no evolution or growth in the recent several thousand, even tens of thousands of years.

Some changes are merely minor adjustments in systems.

However, in the field of productivity, it seems there has been no growth over the long years.

Therefore, if the general public of the Domain Realm were to learn that the opposite Otherworld, with no cultivation civilization, underwent a dramatic transformation in just two hundred years.

The vigorous vitality of this civilization, its rapid development... if the masses of the Domain Realm were to know, it might lead to considerable wild imagination.

Furthermore...

It is also because the mortals of the Domain Realm actually live rather bitterly.

In the Domain Realm, mortals are the lowest cattle and horses, mortals without cultivation talent are destined to be cattle and horses for life, doomed to serve and work for cultivators.

Even among the mundane world, wealthy mortal families exist, but they also depend on cultivators or sects and noble families tied to cultivation, doing the dirty and tiring jobs, those tasks cultivators are unwilling to undertake.

And the power to decide life and death is merely at the whim of the sect they depend on.

Even wealthy families are like this, so the ordinary mortal’s life is even harsher.

Ordinary mortals don’t even have basic rights.

Put it this way, in the Domain Realm, in many places, a cultivator can kill a mortal without any punishment. Only in some large cities, because the daily operation requires a large number of mortals, they are treated a bit better.

But the distinction between cultivators and mortals is like a chasm!

If the general public of the Domain Realm were to learn that in this "Otherworld", ordinary mortals can live so well...

Then, I fear the mortals of the Domain Realm will become increasingly unstable.

Having been a high-ranking member of the Ghost Race, Zhan Li possesses some "political thinking".

She certainly knows that in the Domain Realm, mortals are merely lowly cattle and horses, born as cattle and horses, and remain cattle and horses. Cultivators can freely decide the life and death of mortals.

But she also understands that these cattle and horses are precisely the "foundation" of the functioning civilization of the Domain Realm!

If there were no mortals, would you expect those self-proclaimed noble cultivators to do farming work? To labor? To do heavy work? To be civil laborers?

Zhan Li was looking into the depths of the forest, lost in thought, imagining this world—after she walks out of these mountains and into this world, what kind of scene will she see...

East Sea had already taken out a small, thin, black box.

Zhan Li curiously observed East Sea, who took out several more items.

"This thing is called a smartphone, an indispensable personal item for every ordinary person in this world, crucial for clothing, food, housing, and transportation.

This thing is not driven by spells but by electricity. Hmm, the one with the wire next to it is called a power bank.

This item is not mine but rather... it’s my family’s Ancestor Saint’s.

My Ancestor has wandered in this world for many years; this is the smartphone she used back then in this world. This time it has been given to me for use."

An item bestowed by a Saint?!

Zhan Li’s expression suddenly stiffened.

East Sea took a deep breath, plugged the smartphone into the power bank, and after a few minutes, powered it on.

When the boot screen and music appeared, Zhan Li instinctively took a step backward!
