Chapter 1324 - 1424: Killing the Chicken for Its Eggs

Because once you use this method, it's like killing the chicken to get the eggs, and this killing is fatal, even though it can briefly improve everyone's strength.

However, the consequence will be a lack of successors.

In such a situation, if any unforeseen change occurs and the high-level high combat power results in death, the low combat power will not be able to support, leading the entire cultivation world to fall into decline, even if the Power of Heaven and Earth intervenes later, it still won't recover in a short time.

But if that urgent situation truly arises, then, for its own sake, the Power of Heaven and Earth will use this method because if it employs this method, the inner realm will rapidly return to its most prosperous era.

Yet this prosperity only pertains to the present era; it cannot be maintained thereafter, because all the qi has been used up by those currently living.

If another genius is truly born, it would mean a genius could only emerge under one condition: a cultivator's death, which allows for the birth of a new genius.

And once a new genius is born, it signifies that this world is already teetering on the edge of collapse.

Of course, the so-called collapse doesn't mean the physical world is falling apart, but rather the components of the world, namely the cultivation world, are beginning to crumble.

Naturally, there's also the possibility that qi will start to regenerate, because qi is not necessarily gone once used up; it can slowly be reborn, although this occurs at a very slow pace.

Once the Power of Heaven and Earth redistributes qi, however, it needs at least a hundred years for new talented cultivators to emerge once more.

During this hundred years, no new cultivators can be born, because if one does, it will occupy the slowly generating qi.

But if the qi does not get occupied and continues to accumulate over six months, it could yield a genius-level cultivator, similar to Ye Tianfan or Brother Yun Tian, such as Yun Tian's level.

For someone like Ye Tianfan, though, it is required that no new cultivators emerge within six months to reach that level, whereas Brother Yun Tian's level can occur since he is quite extraordinary.

In comparison to Ye Tianfan, Yun Tian would certainly be left far behind; thus, producing a talent like Brother Yun Tian every hundred years is normal, but bringing forth a genius akin to Ye Tianfan is practically impossible.

Unless the Power of Heaven and Earth once again squeezes out generation of qi, and causes several to die, only then will a genius like Ye Tianfan appear.

Considering how difficult it is to replicate someone like Ye Tianfan, it would require massive commitment from the Power of Heaven and Earth, and genius like Ye Tianfan doesn't rely on its supply of qi because Ye Tianfan is an outsider who carries his own qi.

Moreover, the qi Ye Tianfan carries comes locked from his previous world, having no relation to the qi of this world, so Ye Tianfan shouldn't face a bottleneck advancing to the Taichu Realm.

Though the fortune from another world doesn't greatly apply here, Ye Tianfan, having dominated great fortune in that other world, stands as an unrivaled talent, a genius among geniuses.

No matter how gifted Ye Tianfan is, apart from utilizing some spiritual power, all other factors are independent from the inner realm, since whatever advancement Ye Tianfan makes consumes qi from his original world.

Having no connection to the qi of this world.

But once Ye Tianfan enters the realm, he will begin to merge with the qi of this world, rather than usurping it.

Ultimately, what Ye Tianfan will become is unknown to everyone, even the Power of Heaven and Earth cannot predict it, for it is an unfamiliar scenario involving Foreign Qi—this first-time occurrence within the inner and outer Power of Heaven and Earth.

Regardless of how potent this situation is, neither the inner nor outer Power of Heaven and Earth will interfere, for their intention is to assume control over the qi Ye Tianfan possesses, although taking Ye Tianfan's internal Power of Heaven and Earth is virtually impossible.

Given that the Power of Heaven and Earth only suffers loss upon death, meanwhile Ye Tianfan starts blending with the qi of the inner world.

And the Power of Heaven and Earth will not kill Ye Tianfan to seize fortune because they won't casually slaughter their own kind.

Thus relatively, Ye Tianfan remains secure concerning the Power of Heaven and Earth, though this security only applies to matters of the Power of Heaven and Earth; anyone else killing Ye Tianfan won't be prosecuted.

Since the Power of Heaven and Earth can't account for everything, they still calculate slowly, but generally abstain from interfering, engaging only when required to calculate.

These calculations aren't immediate nor do they invade thoughts, merely guiding thinking, but Ye Tianfan, as one from another world, is immune to their interference, leading them to only direct others' thoughts.

This extends only to the outer, powerful Power of Heaven and Earth somewhat guiding Taichu Realman's thinking.

In regular scenarios, the inner Power of Heaven and Earth refrains from disrupting thoughts, otherwise the inner realm wouldn't have experienced suppression from outer forces thus far.

Only this time, they procured a Chaos Treasure Lotus assuring near victory, prompting the Power of Heaven and Earth to interfere by guiding Taichu Realman's thinking.

Certainly, if Taichu Realman doesn't internally wish entering the outer realm, even guided by the Power of Heaven and Earth, he won't proceed outside.

In essence, it was Taichu Realman's own hesitance that allowed the inner Power of Heaven and Earth to exploit the situation.

Of course, the outer Power of Heaven and Earth merely guide and will not alter Taichu Realman's intentions.

Thus, Taichu Realman becomes the true decision-maker venturing outside the realm.
