Chapter 636: Chapter 1: Great Change in Heaven and Earth

Time changes rapidly, and the years fly by.

It’s been a decade since the great transformation of heaven and earth.

During these ten years, everyone has witnessed the growth of the world and the birth of countless lives.

A mere description of this might be too abstract.

To be specific, the space in which ordinary beings live has become tremendously vast.

Simply put, the original eight hundred li Yunmeng Marsh has expanded to eighty thousand li.

This has both positive and negative effects on the entire Hundred Lands Mountain Range.

Yet, for the Mountain People and Butterfly People living within, the disadvantages outweigh the advantages.

Firstly, the original streams have turned into rivers, and the rivers have changed into vast oceans; slight climatic changes result in raging waves.

This greatly increases the difficulty for the Mountain People to navigate their ships.

The difficulty in transporting goods naturally escalates as well.

After all, navigating in a canal and navigating in an ocean are two completely different domains.

However, thanks to this, the Mountain People have phased out all wooden boats at an almost unimaginable speed.

In just two or three years, steel aircraft carriers, driven by steam engines, electromagnetic posts, and Primordial Qi Furnaces, able to float briefly, have become mainstream.

Yes, not steel battleships or conventional steel carriers.

The steel carriers popularized by the Mountain People are truly flying carriers, floating carriers, with incredibly substantial compressed space inside.

Even though from an Earthling’s perspective, such a leap seems abnormal.

For the Mountain People of this world, steel carriers are just larger, bigger cargo ships without any special significance.

When the Mountain People voyage aboard these steel carriers in and out of Yunmeng Marsh and Hundred Lands Mountain Range, they don’t see them as combat units.

The true escorts for these steel carriers are the fully matured "Three-Eyed Holy Demons."

With a growth period of ten years, the second and third batches of Three-Eyed Mountain People have grown up, each possessing the power to rival Gods.

To the outside world, these guys are truly a Divine Race.

The term "Three-Eyed Holy Demon," initially somewhat derogatory, has gradually become the formal designation among the Mountain People.

Aside from the Great Xia, who knows the Hundred Lands Mountain Range well.

In the legends of other kingdoms and tribes, "Three-Eyed Holy Demons" have seemingly become a group capable of Moving Mountains and Inverting Peaks, commanding Ghost Gods.

Each of those massive steel carriers are realms tailored by the "Three-Eyed Holy Demons" for themselves.

The only consolation is that, though these "Three-Eyed Holy Demons" have quirky personalities and often act unpredictably, they indeed bring wisdom and civilization to the whole world.

Wherever the steel carriers pass, massive aid in materials follows.

Following that, the "Three-Eyed Holy Demons" teach cultivation methods and artisanal skills to the local wise beings, helping them directly skip the most primitive tribal stage.

Of course, it’s not that the "Three-Eyed Holy Demons" lacked the ability to help them reach a higher stage of civilization.

But the "Three-Eyed Holy Demons," adhering to the teachings of the Tao Ancestor, merely provide minimal support for wise beings without pulling up the shoots to help them grow.

Once the fundamental needs of food and safety are settled, the development of local wise beings relies entirely on their racial characteristics and geographic environment.

This is the biggest difference between the Mythical Era and Earth’s past.

On Earth’s past, the concept of intelligent life essentially referred to "humans."

However, in this Mythical Era, the concept of intelligent life is extremely broad, and not all of them are humanoid.

Even weapons like the "Talisman Launcher," which only require pulling the trigger to use, are not usable by all intelligent beings.

Perhaps because of this, Xuansi Gu’s "Transformation Technique" has been secretly spreading.

Despite Li Boyang having repeatedly emphasized and banned it, most intelligent beings starting cultivation still voluntarily choose to study the "Transformation Technique" to gain a life form closer to the Tao Ancestor.

From a rational standpoint, choosing the "Transformation Technique" does increase the difficulty of cultivation and may even affect the future potential of the cultivator to some extent.

However, from a realistic perspective, be it the cultivation method taught by the Tao Ancestor, or various treasures used by the "Three-Eyed Holy Demons," the most suitable are humanoid forms.

Instead of worrying about a future too remote to know if it exists.

The choice of current interests is the main reason affecting most intelligent beings to make decisions.

The choice of current interests is the main reason influencing most intelligent beings to make decisions.

"So, why don’t you choose to cultivate the ’Transformation Technique’?"

Squatting on the massive steel carrier, Li Boyang gazed downward from the edge, his words imbued with curiosity and surprise.

Because right below this floating carrier, a giant even larger than a mountain was wading through the water.

The vast seawater mixed with torrents, yet could only barely cover the giant’s knees.

"I am originally humanoid; cultivating the ’Transformation Technique’ would only shrink my form."

Glancing up at Li Boyang, the giant’s voice was as thunderous as it was deep, but his tone was unusually honest.

"If it were decades ago, I might have cultivated the ’Transformation Technique’ and then traveled the Hundred Lands Mountain Range."

"But now that Longbo Kingdom has perished, and only a few Longbo Giants remain, I have lost interest in traveling and playing."

"If it weren’t for the chance of learning you were passing by the East Sea, I wouldn’t have come here specifically to buy ’Smoke and Cloud Yarn’ from you."

The "Smoke and Cloud Yarn" mentioned by the Longbo Giant is one of Li Family Village’s flagship products today.

This "Smoke and Cloud Yarn" is woven from colorful haze and clouds, possessing properties of being impervious to water and fire, able to change size at will, perfectly fitting for weaving various garments.

"Accidentally?"

With a smirking gaze at the giant’s ragged armor, Li Boyang didn’t expose the other’s words.

The magic of "Smoke and Cloud Yarn" is not just for weaving garments.

Any creature wearing clothes made of "Smoke and Cloud Yarn" gains an alternative form impervious to water and fire, immune to swords and spears.

"Xiluo, is the ’Smoke and Cloud Yarn’ we procured this time enough?"

Upon hearing Li Boyang’s voice, Xiluo, who was accounting goods in the warehouse, responded immediately with exasperation.

"This is not a matter of enough or not!"

"The production of ’Smoke and Cloud Yarn’ is limited; if you take so much at once, can we continue our business?"

"Or are you planning to return now?"
