The Sims: I Open the Immortal Path for All Beings

Chapter 1311: Chapter 1258-Chapter 1259 Cultural Invasion_2 Chapter 1311: Chapter 1258-Chapter 1259 Cultural Invasion_2 At the beginning, when he first heard about the plan, he was somewhat surprised and did not understand, but as he slowly recalled some historical events, the actions of a certain Lord of the Great Han Divine Dynasty during its development suddenly enlightened him.

From the birth of tribes to Dynasties, the emergence of the Human Race Common Master was a process of cultural unification of the human race. During this process, the unification of the human race was a recognition of racial identity, but there were significant differences in other aspects.

Once, there was the Contention of a Hundred Schools of Thought. Each had their own concepts, their own paths and principles. By the time of the Great Han Divine Dynasty, a Confucian Sage came forth. He proposed the concept of Dismissing Hundreds of Schools and Exalting Confucianism to the Divine Dynasty Lord, which made the Confucian Gate the orthodox.

In the tens of thousands of years that followed, as the Divine Dynasty continuously conquered other opponents, it used the Confucian Gate to promote itself. It baptized those conquered and eventually made them accept and become a part of it.

According to what the Emperor Monarch said, whether it was the Confucian Gate, Taoist School, Buddhism School, Demonic Way, Side Sects, or the Witch Deity Teaching, their so-called “path contest” was actually a struggle for the concept and recognition of orthodoxy.

Defeating an opponent is easy, but simply defeating them is not enough. If they still retain their cultural concepts and awareness, and their inheritance continues to exist, they will inevitably rise again one day.

That is exactly what they are doing now. Conquering this world is easy, even with so many Great Ancient Emperors and countless powerful beings present.

However, this world is ultimately flawed. These Great Ancient Emperors are no match for True Immortals at the top power levels, and the existence of the Heavenly Court remains, with All Gods being immortal and undying. Even if they die in this world, they can be resurrected through the Heavenly Court and return once more.

As long as they are willing, with the power of the Heavenly Court, led by numerous True Immortals, with some time and sacrifice, they could completely suppress this world by force and integrate it into the Heavenly Court.

But is that the end of it?

Not at all!

Unless they completely exterminate all the living beings of this world, that hatred and resistance will never vanish with a short-term integration.

Moreover, since they have used brute force to suppress it inadequately, the heritage of this world still exists, and their culture remains. As they are integrated into the Great Ming World, the confusing issue of an incomplete world no longer exists for them.

These Martial Artists who were reluctantly integrated into the Great Ming World, unless they completely erase all memory of their destruction, will always remember the hatred for their annihilated world. Their existence will always be a hidden danger, a threat to the rule of the Heavenly Court, continually causing rebellions.

Such rebellions will become a problem for the Heavenly Court, a trouble that cannot be easily resolved in a short time, and this calamity will run deep and be hard to eliminate.

In such a situation, the Heavenly Court’s power will be tied up, unable to focus on exploring new worlds. While the rebellious power of one world may be weak, as the Heavenly Court continues to expand, more and more rebellious forces will emerge. For the Great Ming World, this becomes a serious internal concern.

But if we truly want to integrate a world, should we exterminate the beings of that world?

Such methods are too damaging to the harmony of the heavens. Even the many True Immortals of the human race cannot act in this manner, as it would lead to continuous rejection by the world and affect their own paths.

Moreover, if it were Foreign tribes, that might be one thing. But the Martial Artists of this world are of the human race. Although they do not share the same origin as those in the Great Ming World, they are also of the human race.

Members of the human race may fight and kill each other due to conflicts, but they cannot keep exterminating so many of their own kind for the sake of benefits. If so, should the Qi Luck of the human race even be considered, should the human race even desire to be strong anymore?

In such a circumstance, this method of cultural invasion is undoubtedly the best choice. Let them accept and become a part of us. As the Great Ming World integrates this world and advances, they, too, will have a new homeland, no longer troubled by an incomplete world, and can reach farther.

Benefiting everyone was indeed the optimal solution, and thus the Heavenly Court would continue to grow stronger.

“The Emperor Monarch truly is like a being from heaven, such a plan is beyond the imagination of us mortals,” Wood Virtue Star Lord said, with a look of admiration on his face, which also reflected the turmoil in his heart.

Indeed, one should never presume to guess the Emperor Monarch’s intentions with one’s own insignificant thoughts. This plan was a brilliant open scheme, one that simply could not be unraveled.

After hearing the plan, he knew that as soon as it was revealed, the Martial Artists of this world would have no means to resist.

The pursuit of transformation and strength is an instinct of all living beings, especially when the Martial Arts system of this world is inherently flawed and incomplete, unable to sustain such powerhouses on their journey towards greater distances.

At this juncture, the emergence of Taoist Skills filled the gap. It was something that could support them on a longer journey, make them stronger, and thus, neither the Martial Artists nor the Great Ancient Emperor would give them up.

If the Taoist Skills they taught were problematic, the Martial Artists might resist or decline, but if these skills were harmless and had no negative impact, the Martial Artists would not refuse; they would gladly accept, since no one would reject the opportunity to become more powerful.

However, as in the Great Ming World, it was one thing for ordinary forces to practice skills, but quite another for the Taoist School, Buddhism School, and Demonic Way to cultivate their respective skills lightly.

The Taoist School was relatively benign, most of which belonged to a category of moderate balance. Apart from some core secret skills, such as Forgetful Love Heavenly Book, the influence of the skills on Cultivators was not too significant.

However, Buddhism School and Demonic Way were different. To truly learn the essence of these two paths, one needed to understand and accept the concepts of Buddhism and the Demonic Way, which also required the acknowledgement and application of those ideas.

If one sought only the power of the Buddhist and Demonic skills without embracing their underlying ideologies, they would inevitably suffer a backlash in the end.

Thus, just as in the Great Ming World, the unique Cultivation system, once introduced into this world, would require the beings here to understand and accept these Cultivation concepts. They would unconsciously gravitate towards them, become part of them, and strengthen their force.

On the other hand, if one practiced such Taoist Divine Powers without comprehending or accepting the underlying concepts and principles, then they would never achieve great success and were bound to face a backlash sooner or later.

One could imagine that this was a process of selection, sifting through the creatures of this world to see who could become their friends and allies, and who would become inveterate and resistant adversaries.

Facing the adversaries of a world, if one were to simply oppress them with sheer force, even if one’s own power vastly exceeded theirs, the eventual outcome would not be to crush and subdue the opposition. Instead, it might very well cause the opponents to set aside past grievances and unite in the face of crisis.

The Emperor Monarch’s plan was indeed the most correct, effective, and least costly option. Wood Virtue Star Lord no longer felt any aversion but instead became proactive, asking Star Lord Yi Suan what he should do next.

“The Cultivation system we practice is known as ‘Taoist Skill.’ Regarding the teaching of some of these Cultivation systems, the only question is what will you offer in exchange?” Wood Virtue Star Lord asked, smiling at the envoys from the various Imperial Dynasties.

These individuals lapsed into a brief silence, taken aback by this response. Yet since a possibility now presented itself, they could not let it go and began to speak one after another, revealing part of their conditions to probe Wood Virtue Star Lord’s bottom line.

In the time that followed, both sides were continuously negotiating and testing each other, stating their terms.

These people were trying to coordinate with one another, attempting to form a united front to cope with the situation, but unfortunately, Wood Virtue Star Lord and his companions were already prepared to respond.
