"I don't know if you've learned about planes..."
Of the five young men and women on the lawn, the calm young man suddenly opened his mouth to speak.
The other four showed strange expressions. The man with the hippie hairstyle immediately said, "Captain, are you kidding us? This is a basic subject. If you want to get into a college from a university, you have to at least get into the eighth level. Do you think we're all trash who got into the college through the back door? "
At the mention of the word "trash", the five of them laughed happily.
The human society on the Eldritch Continent also had a gap between the rich and the poor, and this gap was not small. What was the specific difference? It was reflected in the major aspects of food, use, and housing. Strictly speaking, it was similar to the human society of other planes. Although in the Eldritch Continent, even if you were a piece of trash who didn't know anything and didn't even go to school, you could still live a good life. You could travel every day, eat exotic delicacies, play with exotic women, play online virtual reality games, and so on. You could also live a good life that the humans of other planes couldn't even dream of, but after all, there was still a gap.
For example, the exotic delicacies you ate were only cultivated through spirit qi on a large scale, similar to the food produced by roadside fast food machines. The rich could eat the wild ones of the Eldritch Continent, and the rich could eat the dangerous ones of the Eldritch Continent. The rich could even eat the food of other planes, and so on.
Another example was living. If you didn't have money, you could live in the villas on the street allocated by the government. You could also apply for some remote residential areas in tourist attractions. These were all fine. However, if you wanted to live in the best areas like Sanqing Mountain, Hongjun Pavilion, or Pangu Plain, you would have to spend a lot of money. The rich could even live in the 33 Heavens, and the rich could even live outside the 33 Heavens. This was the difference.
As for use, it was even simpler. If you didn't have money, you could use all kinds of popular devices. For example, when the rich played virtual reality games, they used the "A" Dao Accumulation Game Machine, but you could only use the "C" or "T" models. Another example was transportation. The rich could use the latest models and even directly buy all kinds of spirit beasts, but you could only use the most common models and drool at the sight of spirit beasts.
These were all real differences. Moreover, the rich and powerful did exist. This was not a taboo for the Heavenly Court and the humans on the Eldritch Continent. Everyone and the whole society knew about it. However, no one envied them. Even if there were people who envied them, it was only a small minority in the society. Such people would be despised by others because the rich and powerful people relied on their own strength or the strength of their ancestors to get what they wanted. If one did not have strength, one would say that the grapes were sour and envied them, one would never be strong and would only be trash.
These rich and powerful people would also use their money and power to obtain some benefits that ordinary people could not get. For example, the trash that they mentioned just now were examples. They did not have the ability, or they only cared about playing and did not study hard. They could not enter the college from university, so they used their money and power to go to the college and get a diploma.
But it was useless! Strength, ability, and knowledge all belonged to oneself. This wasn't a human society like the Demon-Free Plane. This was the Eldritch Continent!
Humans had many power systems, but in summary, there were two. One was the Gene Lock, and the other was Cultivation or Magic. Of these two systems, the Gene Lock required one's aptitude, belief, and experience. Aptitude allowed one to unlock the Gene Lock quickly. Belief allowed one to rely on the Gene Lock to become strong and survive. Experience allowed one to settle down and finally reach the point where one could transform into the Light of the Soul.
Cultivation, on the other hand, required knowledge, stability, and most importantly, computing power.
Regardless of which system it was, money and power were just side branches, occupying less than one percent of the importance. The Heavenly Court had already deciphered all the knowledge of Cultivation, so there was no such thing as a family possessing a unique Cultivation technique. Moreover, orthodox Cultivation didn't care about the strength of your technique. What they cared about was the breadth of your knowledge, the depth of your knowledge, and the strength of your computing power. As for the Gene Lock, if you didn't have the broad-mindedness, the conviction to face death with equanimity, and the experience of never looking back, then you would be considered amazing if you could unlock the second level of the Gene Lock at most. These weren't things that money and power could bring.
This wasn't a society like the one in the Dimension without Magic. Perhaps you could rely on your power and wealth to suppress someone who had a conflict with you, forcing them to drop out of school or quit their job, or even experiencing a blood feud. After a few decades, you would have forgotten about it. An expert with the Light of the Soul, or even a Saint or an Immortal, directly descended upon your family. Such things were common in the history of the Heavenly Court. Once, twice, thrice … After countless times, those rich and powerful people who still did this were idiots. The more it was like this, the more low-key the descendants of the rich and powerful would be, and the more similar they were to commoner children. This was a lesson of blood. Therefore, many invaders would find it unbelievable when they saw the descendants of the Cultivation or Magic families being so arrogant and brazenly oppressing commoners … This wasn't a Dimension without Magic, a dimension where Cultivation or Magic existed. Who knew if you were provoking a Saint or an Immortal in the future? Families that dared to do this could still be passed down? This was simply too f * cking unbelievable.
The human society in the Untainted Land was such a world. In that world, as long as you were capable enough, you would have infinite possibilities in the future. A person who abandoned the worldly pleasures to pursue his dream would not be scolded as an idiot or a lunatic. Instead, he would be respected and worshipped by everyone. In that world, the wealth and power of one's parents didn't mean anything at all. Even if one was scolded as a loser because of his incapability, he could only swallow it because he was a loser.
The five people present were all elites of the same grade in the academy. Naturally, they could scold those who relied on power and money to enter the academy as trash. In fact, even if the person involved heard them, those trash wouldn't dare to refute them. This was because this was the truth. How could a rich and powerful person who came here to gain fame compare with an elite who entered the academy on his own? If the two sides really quarreled, it was possible that the academy would directly expel this rich and powerful person.
In fact, any human who entered the three academies already belonged to the elite of the ancient human race. The three highest academies of the ancient human race, including teachers and students, had a total of more than 60 million people. Compared to the total population of 7,849 billion people in the ancient human race, these people were really the elites of the elites. They had to go to preschool for 12 years, basic primary school for 16 years, advanced middle school for 22 years, advanced high school for 30 years, and finally college for as long as 60 years. If they were able to graduate with excellent grades after 60 years of college, they would be able to participate in the entrance exams of the three academies. The five people present had all done this. Their actual ages were already more than 100 years old. Of course, for the humans of the ancient continent, this was almost the same as a 17- or 18-year-old youth in a non-magic plane.
In the entrance exams of the three academies, plane study was a compulsory subject. The calm young man's words just now were actually just a pretext. The real meaning was very simple. It was what he was going to say next.
"Then I'll make a long story short. The study of the standard plane in plane study is really limited. Even if we rely on the calculation of Celestial Immortal Cultivators, even if we rely on the strength of high-level Saints to locate it, the possibility of finding the standard plane in the multiverse is too low. It's one in a billion. Unless we rely on the legendary List of Gods or the Master God to locate it, it's impossible to truly find the standard plane," the calm young man said quietly.
The yellow-skinned girl immediately said, "Captain, we've known this for a long time. The List of Gods has long been broken and disappeared in history. Don't think about it. As for the Master God, those thugs and terrorists, we were kind when we first came into contact with their rotating teams and were prepared to give them the status of ancient humans. In the end, they repaid kindness with enmity and destroyed many of our plane armies and planes. They even directly attacked our homeland. So many innocent people were killed by them, and the casualties were heavy. Those people had never left the ancient world in their lives. Most of them were quietly working and surviving. In the end, they were killed like this … I will never forgive these animals!"
At the end of her speech, the yellow-skinned girl's tears fell, and the white-skinned girl next to her also shed tears. The three men's faces were all red, and they were silent.
The silent young man began to speak again, "Because of this, under the referendum, we are absolutely irreconcilable with all the forces related to the Master God. The three great forces that have been hunted by us for eternity, the thousands of races in the ancient world, should go to hell, the Death Group, the Master God team, they must die … Actually, this is not what I want to say. I just said that the study of the standard plane is limited, but some scholars have also put forward some guesses and hypotheses. To be specific, the derivative planes of the standard plane have two points: inheritance and non-inheritance."
"Inheritance means that almost all the changes that occur naturally in the standard plane will be reflected in all the derivative planes. For example, if the dark-skinned people in this plane started the Age of Exploration in ancient Egypt, then the series of planes will be dominated by the dark-skinned people. If the yellow-skinned people became powerful in the Age of Mythology, then the yellow-skinned people will be dominant, and the white-skinned people will be the same. These are the inheritance properties of the standard plane and the derivative planes. The only difference is in the details, and then the changes in the world …"
"The non-inheritance property of the standard plane means that when the change in the standard plane is caused by an external plane, the change will not be inherited. In other words, when a standard plane is transmigrated by an external plane, or by the Master God team, or by the thousands of races in the ancient world, or by the Death Group, or by us in the ancient world, no matter what the change is, it will not affect the derivative plane. It will be as if none of this has happened. Other than being recorded by an external plane that is not its derivative plane, the derivative plane will not change. This latest study is quite famous, have you all read it?"
Three of the other four people raised their hands, indicating that they had indeed read this study. Only the hippie young man blushed, as if he had not read this study.
At this moment, the calm young man suddenly spoke again, "This research report isn't actually complete … There's a follow-up, but because it's too bizarre, it's not recognized by other scholars, so it wasn't published. I only saw it by chance … That is, the scholar believes that if the outsider who caused the change in the standard plane goes to the derivative plane again, then the derivative plane will undergo a change similar to the standard plane due to some unknown force that's considered a coincidence, a coincidence, or the influence of the power of fate. It doesn't matter if the outsider is all of them or just one of them, it will still be the same …"
The four people slowly pondered this paragraph. After a long time, the yellow-skinned girl said, "Captain, what you mean is that you think this world will be the same as the world 18,000 years ago, where a Master God team will come to stop us in the ancient world, and eventually lead to the ancient world being sealed? But 18,000 years have passed, and Dao Biao is our emperor after all. It is enough for him to be angry once. How can he be so cruel to his people? If the ancient world is sealed again, I really don't dare to imagine what the ancient world will become … "
The silent young man smiled and said, "I also don't think that the original members are still alive. After all, other than two, the original God team has been wiped out, so it is impossible for the original members to still be alive. However, you know my personality, I like to calculate all the disadvantages … We have to guard the coordinates of this plane for three days, and during these three days, we will not receive any reinforcements, so I will first assume that there is a God team in this world, and use this to plan the battle for these three days. I have decided …"
"We will set up the simplified fourth version of the Ancient Beast Formation, and drive the ancient creatures into a berserk state. This way, we will soon know whether there is a God team or not."
The silent man stood up silently and murmured, "I am one of Shang's reincarnation candidates, the third wise man of mankind. You just need to continue to trust me like before …"
"It is that simple!"
