Now, with the spiritual root system, the number of human cultivators has exploded, and demons are no longer a match.
Without a doubt, in this era, demons are merely 'nourishment' for human cultivation.
"The bodies of demons are the best materials for refining magical treasures, and demons possess powerful inner cores within their bodies that can enhance cultivation."
"Thus, the positions of humans and demons have completely reversed."
If the relationship between humans and demons could barely be considered balanced during the Investiture of the Gods period,
then in the current spiritual root era, humans are basically beating demons to a pulp.
Once, demons cruelly treated humans, and now humans are repaying them in kind, with interest.
Humans have gone too far, and now the demons are starting to resist.
"In the past, demons acted separately, but this time, they have actually united."
"United demons have indeed had a considerable impact on the Heavenly Court."
"But that was hundreds of years ago; the war has lasted so long, it should be over by now."
News within the Divine Continent is mostly kept under wraps.
Those inside will not easily go out unless necessary.
And it is not easy for those outside to enter.
They must undergo review by the Heavenly Court, and only those who are approved can enter.
If one enters illegally, forcibly crossing the super-strong barrier of the 'Cosmic Great Wall,'
then the Heavenly Court will send immortals to hunt them down relentlessly, a situation of eternal enmity.
"Does Master Jiang Wang plan to go to the Divine Continent?"
Old Sword Demon looked at Jiang Wang, feeling that there must be a reason why his boss suddenly brought up the matter of the Martial God.
"I'm a little interested. Today's lesson on the Complete Realm is from the Martial God's legacy."
Jiang Wang said, he really did have some interest in the Divine Continent.
Currently, the direction of the Paradise World largely corresponds to the route of the Divine Continent.
Otherwise, Rift Sky wouldn't have hitched a ride on this convenient free ride because it was on the way.
"According to calculations, the war in the Divine Continent must be over."
"Demons rebelling against the Heavenly Court is something that happens from time to time."
"It's just that this time it was more exaggerated and serious."
"But the Heavenly Court's foundation is deep after all, how could it be easily overthrown?"
Although Old Sword Demon had left the Divine Continent for a long time,
he had great confidence in the Heavenly Court, the governing organization of the Divine Continent.
"I think this is a very strange thing."
"Logically speaking, how can the competitive relationship between living beings last for so long?"
"The Divine Continent has stretched for so many years, this kind of struggle should have ended long ago."
Jiang Wang said, this was the point that puzzled him the most.
Most world consciousnesses choose one race and let it prosper.
Once one race takes the lead, it becomes difficult for other races to compete.
In some worlds, the strongest race can completely crush the other races.
It mainly depends on the world consciousness's control over the world itself.
Slight influences can cause slight changes in the 'version' of that world.
This is the so-called version update, weakening the strong and strengthening the weak.
But now, everything that the Divine Continent is showing is confusing.
How could they have been fighting for so long? What is the world consciousness doing?
Whether it's the human race or the demons, choosing one and kicking out the other, is that so difficult?
Or is there some kind of... hidden secret?
"The reason is simple, we human cultivators have always been going against the heavens."
"According to your world consciousness's principles, our research on the Divine Continent is actually more in-depth."
"Heaven is ruthless and sees all things as straw dogs; this sentence best expresses the inner meaning."
"In the eyes of Heaven, not to mention the human race, even the demons are just useful tools."
Old Sword Demon began to explain to Jiang Wang.
Jiang Wang was very good to Sword Demon Sect, pouring in a lot of resources.
Sword Demon Sect could undoubtedly rise from this, and he was extremely satisfied with this new boss.
Of course, he would tell his boss everything he wanted to know.
And this information from the Divine Continent was exactly his forte.
The older one gets, the more stories one has, and the more one can tell.
"In fact, Heaven has always been strongly supporting the demon race; our human race has only been food from the beginning."
"Among the nine million worlds, legends have similar points, or even are true."
"Master Jiang Wang must know about Nuwa creating humans, and Nuwa is actually a demon."
"Of course, she was well-intentioned, but this act was actually promoted by Heaven."
Old Sword Demon said, squinting his eyes.
In his eyes, Nuwa creating humans was indeed a great good deed, allowing their human race to be born.
This was the starting point of the human race, but what awaited this race was endless torment, miserable and painful.
"The demon's flaw is that their souls are slightly weak."
"And our human race's soul power is extremely abundant."
"In other words, we are just food for demons to replenish their own flaws."
This is the root of the human race's suffering in the Divine Continent.
From the very beginning, Heaven never intended for the human race to become strong.
Humans were just useful tools, just delicious meals specially cooked for demons to eat.
"I see, but did Heaven not help the human race at all as it rose?"
Or was the rise of humans a check and balance of the demon race by Heaven?
"That's impossible; after the human race chose the method of Investiture of the Gods, it was destined to go against the heavens to the end."
Old Sword Demon shook his head.
"Think about it, creating gods is the power of the world consciousness."
"Humans imitate this power and create a bunch of strange, pseudo-gods."
"Can this succeed? This is the so-called act of going against the heavens."
Old Sword Demon continued, his expression becoming serious.
Chapter 788 Going Against the Heavens
Creating gods is a method used by world consciousness to fight against external enemies.
It is the ultimate means under duress.
Like the orc's coronation ceremony, to some extent, it is a continuation of this technology.
In ancient times, world consciousnesses still liked the method of having a single god protect the entire world.
But gradually, world consciousnesses discovered that this method was not stable enough and had great risks.
Like Shuten-dōji, this guy is the clearest example of being out of control.
Thus, the path of creating gods was abandoned.
Over long periods of time, countless world consciousnesses have made various attempts.
Abandoning the path of gods, the nine million worlds began to bloom in a hundred flowers, with a hundred schools of thought contending.
"You said before that there should still be natural gods in the Divine Continent."
Jiang Wang asked, revealing a curious expression.
"Yes, but going on the Investiture of the Gods list was the moment the Heavenly Court organization was first created."
"The Investiture of the Gods War was actually an extremely chaotic super war."
"Man-made gods fight against the demon race, and also against their own race."
"Natural gods are not from the human race, but the human race is thinking about this power."
"After being on the list, there can be a way to survive, but there is no freedom; if you are not on the list, you die."
The so-called Investiture of the Gods list is a special magical treasure, and the Investiture of the Gods War was the result of the human race's planning.
Human cultivators are best at "calculation and divination."
In that war, they controlled the veins of heaven through calculation methods.
Thus, they successfully calculated Heaven, laying a solid foundation for the rise of the human race.
From that time on, the road against the heavens officially began.
The human race was not willing to be just food for the demon race, so they had to become stronger.
The Heavenly Court organization plus the Investiture of the Gods list, this is the initial foundation.
