Global Dungeon: I Can See the Status Bar

One month later.

Good news: The Western Divine Realm has been cleared of the suspicion of colluding with godslayers, and the small rift between the Immortal Realm and the Divine Realm has been mended, very delightful and congratulatory.

Bad news: Those possibly colluding with godslayers might be the Ancient Immortal Gods, and the godslayers have smuggled into the Divine Realm in an unknown way, eliminating two Western Gods and successfully escaping.

When he received this news, Lu Wenwu was traveling with the True Monarch of Destiny towards the direction guided by the Power of Destiny.

Having eliminated several erroneous locations already, they were almost at the ultimate place that was truly related to the Ancient Immortal Gods.

The destination was a remote and desolate area in the Cultivator Realm.

With very little Spiritual Qi, not many would choose this place for seclusion.

The only noteworthy aspect is the ”allegedly an ancient residence of the Ancient Immortal Gods” hype.

Honestly speaking, in Lu Wenwu’s original imagination, the Cultivator Realm should be a generic term covering all the little worlds.

However, it was not until he truly followed the True Monarch of Destiny into it that he realized, it was actually a quite large place.

It’s just that those sects occupy the portions that are most abundant in Spiritual Qi, and under the transformation of generations of Near-God Level Powerhouses and the Grand Array of the sects, a ”Fake World” is formed that is connected to the Great World, but not entirely integrated.

It cannot be compared to truly complete little worlds like Spirit Heaven Cave Heaven.

The so-called little worlds by those sects are, at most, secret places with hidden and protective spatial realms.

Meanwhile, the place where Lu Wenwu and the True Monarch of Destiny found themselves was truly the Cultivator Realm connected to these little worlds, which was basically what Lu Wenwu envisioned the Cultivation World to be like.

Aside from the occasional odd sight of wizards riding brooms, dragon knights riding flying dragons, short green-skinned goblins, and sturdy bearded dwarves breaking the aesthetic...

The rest pretty much fulfilled a childhood dream.

Perhaps because resources are plentiful enough that there’s no need to fight over them, it’s remarkably precious that apart from some minor frictions caused by mythical era grudges, it’s generally harmonious.

There’s no social trend of mafia-like cultivation.

Regarding this, Lu Wenwu once inquired about the question of Spirit Root with the True Monarch of Destiny, and the answer he received greatly surprised him.

According to the True Monarch of Destiny, the number of Spirit Root bearers has always been maintained at a certain level.

It fluctuates perhaps because of the times, but even after years of peace, it hasn’t shown any significant increase.

Even the number of mortals has been maintained at a certain level, without exponential growth.

Not more, but not less either.

The resources in the Cultivator Realm are sufficient to meet the needs of all cultivators.

With the supervision of the upper realm Immortal Gods over the lower realm, there’s no monopolizing major sect, and everyone has enough to eat, whether big cats or small cats.

Diving into its essence, the explanation given made Lu Wenwu exclaim incredulity.

The Spirit Root talked about by Eastern Cultivators, or Heaven’s Gift as called by Western Cultivators, are essentially figments of the imagination.

There’s no tangible, material, organ-like entity.

All that exists is a certain qualification, a talent.

Moreover, this talent is not hereditary, everything is random.

Even if both parents are Near-God Level great cultivators, their offspring may not necessarily possess cultivation talent.

Therefore, even to this day, searching for seedlings with cultivation talent in the Human World is a task that every major sect continues to undertake.

For over twenty thousand years, cultivators have studied this thing called ”talent” without uncovering its principles, let alone utilizing or improving it.

They only figured out a way to test the level of talent themselves, and the ironclad rule that ”those without talent cannot sense Spiritual Qi.”

This is one of the reasons why, compared to those expansive cultivation realms described in cultivation novels stretching billions of miles, this particular world with its very small cultivator realm hasn’t evolved into a black market-like cultivation society.

Vast land, sparse population, rich in minerals, with oversight as powerful as a big fist.

The upper realm, cultivator realm, and human realm, all function as a perfect self-cycling system.

Would you call it perfect?

This societal environment operates too stably, stagnating for many years.

But would you say it’s not perfect?

This societal environment is sufficient to clothe and feed everyone, fulfilling Du Zimei’s lifelong dream – sheltering the cold scholars under the heavens, everyone with food to eat, clothes to wear, and houses to live in.

And precisely because he understands some truths about the current world, Lu Wenwu increasingly feels that ”this world is programmed by some kind of system.”

If it weren’t for the invisible hands constantly performing macro-management.

Maintaining such a near-utopian societal environment for so many years would be incredibly difficult.

Even more so, it’s incomprehensible how humanity achieved a technological explosion in such a short time, and the subsequent prolonged stagnation.

Lu Wenwu once discreetly inquired, asking if the True Monarch of Destiny realized there was something wrong with this world.

But his counterpart merely smiled it off and subtly continued to probe Lu Wenwu’s mental state in the way Lu Wenwu was accustomed to.

With the Eye of Insight, Lu Wenwu was clearly aware.

The True Monarch of Destiny didn’t ignore the matter simply because of Lu Wenwu’s usual nonchalant attitude.

Rather, he had indeed considered it and believed there was nothing wrong with this world; it was Lu Wenwu’s own mental state that was askew.
