This type of ring requires a large amount of spiritual energy to use, how could it be controlled by ordinary people?
If this person wasn't wrong, he's the lowest level of clerk using this kind of Sumeru ring, something that only ordinary people can use?
If this is true, doesn't it mean that the divine weapons in this world have become commonplace?
Was this really three months ago?
Lin Beichen's gaze suddenly paused, landing on the latest newspaper, with the date prominently marked as a day ten years in the future.
He widened his eyes in disbelief, staring at everything around him.
Ten years, he spent ten years in the Heaven and Earth Array.
"Could the dates on these newspapers be printed wrong?"
Lin Beichen couldn't help but say.
He thought of a possibility, even though it was unlikely, he had to ask.
Upon hearing this, the man looked at Lin Beichen as if he were an idiot.
"Young man, I understand that being secluded has made you a bit mentally deranged, but you can't deny reality. These newspapers are divided by days. If they were really printed wrong, you'd be looking down on an old fellow like me!"
Lin Beichen gritted his teeth.
No matter what problems arise, facing them head-on is the way to dispel fear.
Lin Beichen took a deep breath, forcibly calm himself down, then opened the newspaper.
He read very carefully, from the first page to the last.
The old gentleman left at some point, he didn't rush Lin Beichen or take the newspaper, it seemed he had prepared many copies, giving one to Lin Beichen wouldn't make a difference.
When Lin Beichen raised his head, the sky was already filled with stars.
He was still sitting outside the center garden of the Imperial Capital, like a homeless person.
People silently walked by him, curiously looking at this newspaper-collecting drifter, eyes filled with sympathy.
"Isn't this the era of cultivation technology? How can there be such poor people?"
"Don't you know? Although the Imperial Capital is full of cultivators, in other parts of the country, there are still many who can't cultivate!"
These people can't afford the high prices of the Imperial Capital, and can only go to those cities of ordinary people!"
"My God, such cities still exist? I thought everyone could cultivate, wouldn't they live difficult lives if they can't cultivate or use spiritual equipment?"
"It's not about difficulty, they don't have to worry about food and drink, and have a very affluent civilian life, but personal value, don't think too much about it.
Without spiritual energy, they are destined from birth to be ordinary people, enjoying the benefits of the age, unable to enter the cultivation era."
"Luckily, we have the ability to cultivate, our children will also be born with cultivation talent."
A pair of young people walked past Lin Beichen, incredibly sweet, as if their lives were filled with happiness, but their words left Lin Beichen astounded.
Ordinary people can't enjoy the benefits of this era?
This is the era of cultivation technology, meaning, after ten years of development, this world has successfully surpassed the stage of cultivators, entering the cultivation realm.
Why is this so?
In his plan, after ten years, things would gradually spread to the human world, encompassing everyone.
Now it seems to be advancing as he intended, but there's an unavoidable link, ordinary people.
This is the Imperial Capital, so everyone here is a cultivator, with the most comprehensive cultivation technology in the world.
But what about the marginal areas of the country?
Lin Beichen suddenly realized he had made a wrong decision, his first city shouldn't have been the Imperial Capital, it doesn't reflect the most real side of the Dragon Country and this civilization.
This place enjoys the most resources of the era, it's impossible for there to be any areas not well-off, even the size of a toilet at the street corner, in this era, is enough to be looked up to by ordinary people all their lives.
Just like in his previous era, million-dollar luxury cars would be admired in every area, sufficient to be considered superior beings.
But in the Imperial Capital, someone with a million-dollar car couldn't even afford a large three-bedroom house.
They travel with luxury cars and watches, dressed in brand-name clothing, easily spending thousands on a meal, but in the Imperial Capital, they still couldn't have ordinary people's dreams.
Housing.
Lin Beichen immediately got up and walked away, each step made his figure more illusory, and after taking three steps, his body completely vanished.
Shortly after Lin Beichen left, someone appeared in the area he'd occupied, a trace of astonishment in their eyes.
"Sir, is that you?"
The man released his aura, trying to perceive Lin Beichen's whereabouts, but after searching for some time, he didn't receive any feedback.
Disappointment flashed in his eyes.
Since ten years ago, when he followed Qing Wudi to the New Continent, it's been ten years now.
Over these ten years, he witnessed Qing Wudi losing control, becoming a Divine Dragon Emperor, and gaining all the power and influence in the world, capable of destroying the world with a wave of his hand.
Those who followed at that time either died on some mission or were given a land grant, becoming regional managers, unable to leave for life.
He knew Qing Wudi must have done something to prevent Lin Beichen from contacting them, or perhaps Lin Beichen had given up on them.
But he always wanted to meet Lin Beichen and explain the situation back then.
After arriving at the New Continent, they encountered unprecedented difficulties.
Out of necessity, they had to involve ordinary people in the exploration and gradually expanded the exploration to the entire population.
This was both to complete the exploration of the New Continent and to complete Lin Beichen's task.
During this process, deviations inevitably occurred, some opposed Qing Wudi's choice to leave alone, and others wanted to return to the Phoenix Mouth Array, but for some reason, those people eventually disappeared without a trace.
The companions said this was Qing Wudi's doing, but he couldn't prove it, so he didn't believe it.
To them, Lin Beichen was their master.
Or rather, Lin Beichen was the Creator God.
Everything they did was to help Lin Beichen manage this world.
Once Lin Beichen solved the issue with the Phoenix Mouth Array, he would eventually return, and by then, they would hand the world back to Lin Beichen.
However, this wait lasted ten years.
During these ten years, he heard countless rumors and witnessed countless clashes.
The new world held vast interests, many consortiums and groups formed by cultivators flooded into the New Continent, but few succeeded in surviving and sticking it out to the end.
Most of the consortiums were simply lured over and then killed.
This was Qing Wudi's plan.
According to Qing Wudi, the cultivation technology era's advancement required controlling the most important consortiums of the time, thereby avoiding trouble.
These major consortiums were stubborn forces, unable to catch the train of the new era, only causing trouble.
Qing Wudi chose the simplest method, luring them to the new world and then killing them all, replacing them with identical puppets.
This action was carried out worldwide.
Qing Wudi killed countless people, but he also successfully gained control of these groups and eventually further advanced the cultivation technology era.
Afterward, Qing Wudi used the compass of the Phoenix Mouth Array to build various spiritual energy transfer stations and leveraging the terrifying spiritual energy of these stations, ascended to the position of Divine Dragon Emperor.
These years, Sun Wancheng had rarely seen Qing Wudi, as Qing Wudi developed a new cultivation technique, which was said to rely on Emperor's Qi of the vast world as a foundation.
It wasn't until then that Sun Wancheng faintly sensed something was amiss.
Qing Wudi seemed to have been scheming for today.
He appeared to be setting the stage for Emperor's Qi, he obviously had ambition all along!
