Chapter 602: A Huge enough “Stage”, New “Fake Self” (2)
602 A Huge enough “Stage”, New “Fake Self” (2)
If they encountered a prolonged battle, these ordinary people might lose their source of food. The consequences could be imagined. However, they were powerless to change this situation.
The source of the difficulties for the ordinary people was the overlords of the various countries who needed to seize more land continuously to connect with other Immortal Lands to refine their bodies and complete the Immortal Domain laws they cultivated.
As long as this need existed, it was impossible for the disputes between the countries to stop.
It was almost impossible for the commoners to break away from their identity as an ordinary person through cultivation.
Ever since the humans chased the Immortals out and the Human Emperor conferred titles to the vassal kingdoms, the initial human experts had begun to strictly control high-level cultivation methods.
Moreover, every country has set extremely harsh punishments to prohibit ordinary people from learning high-level cultivation techniques.
Only the descendants of these experts and those who had obtained their recognition could obtain a high-level cultivation method. Otherwise, they would violate the law and suffer extremely harsh punishments. They might even be directly executed.
As time passed, more and more descendants of experts appeared.
These people who could cultivate and have powerful strength had already infiltrated various industries.
Even the most ordinary soldiers in the army were “nobles” who could cultivate high-level martial techniques.
Ordinary people could only be considered the lowest class of humans.
It was extremely difficult to live.
This situation had been going on for too long.
Hong Fugui wanted to make some changes.
“Alright, focus on the unification first.” Cui Heng nodded and said in a low voice, “Only after unification can you better coordinate the overall situation and carry out comprehensive transformations of this deformed Immortal Land.”
“Yes, Teacher, that’s what I intend to do.” Hong Fugui nodded and said, “I have to unify these countries first before I can begin to practice the Great Dao in my heart.”
“What do you plan to do?” Cui Heng asked. “These countries have been opposing each other for too long. Be it the Martial Dao experts or ordinary people, they all have a blood feud with the other party. Such a situation is not easy to resolve.”
“Unify the majority and attack the minority,” Hong Fugui said firmly.
“In this world, the strength of the majority might not be stronger than the minorities.” Cui Heng chuckled.
“I understand, but since I’m on the side of the majority, the majority will definitely be stronger than the minorities,” Hong Fugui said solemnly. “Teacher, I think that if all the power belongs to one person, the laws of the world will operate according to that person’s will.
Since I want to bring changes to this world, I have to let myself first grasp powerful strength. Then, I’ll use this power to unite the majority and attack the minority.”
“There’s nothing wrong with this train of thought, but I still have something to ask you.” Cui Heng’s expression became serious as he said in a low voice, “Since the power already belongs to you, and you alone can attack the minorities, why do you still need to unify the majority?”
“Because my original intention to obtain power is for this goal. It’s a great wish in my heart, and it’s also a Great Dao that I want to practice.” Hong Fugui revealed a gentle smile and bowed respectfully to Cui Heng. “Thank you for your guidance, Teacher.”
“That’s good.” Cui Heng smiled.
The few questions he had just asked were actually to help Hong Fugui sort out his thoughts and let him know better what the path he wanted to take was like.
Then, Cui Heng said to Hong Fugui, “I’ll leave the Lord of the Immortals and the Human Emperor to you. It’s up to you to decide if you want to kill them or cripple them, or keep them by your side as advisors.
I’ll enter seclusion for a period of time next and won’t see anyone. Before I come out of seclusion, unless you encounter something especially important, don’t disturb me.”
“Yes, Teacher!” Hong Fugui bowed respectfully.
….
In the Grotto-Heaven Dao Palace, Cui Heng sat cross-legged.
Beside him stood seven figures. They were all his “fake selves”.
He had already refined seven fake versions of himself into reality.
Every figure was a true life form, but they were also an extension of Cui Heng’s existence. As long as they were around, Cui Heng could descend with his true body at any time.
When he had enough “fake selves” refined into real existences, he would be able to be everywhere in the truest sense.
It was not a quick teleportation technique.
Instead, he could exist in different places at the same time.
This was the true meaning of being everywhere!
“Cui Qing’s identity has already become a real existence. Next, I have to design a new ‘fake self’.” Cui Heng thought to himself, “I still have to make it different from the real me.
Cui Qing was rash and unrestrained, in direct contradiction to my caution. However, he did not show much of his flamboyance. Even if he showed a flamboyant side, it was covered up by his overly powerful strength.
Then this new fake self can be—wanton and ostentatious, but not overly powerful. He will be someone with a meticulous personality, a person who makes full preparation for everything.
The identity of this fake self can participate in the process of Fugui preparing to unify the various countries. This is a huge matter that is enough to affect the entire Immortal Land.
If I can refine a fake self into reality through this matter, the cognitive feedback I can obtain should not be low, and my cultivation will increase greatly.”
If a fake identity wanted to become real, it needed to obtain the cognitive feedback of others. Due to the difference the fake identity had with the real body, there would be a difference in the strength of this cognitive feedback.
If the fake self had the identity of an ordinary person, even if he refined this fake self into reality, it would not bring much cognitive feedback, and his cultivation would not increase much.
However, if it was like the fake identity “Cui Qing” from before who changed the situation of the entire Immortal Land with powerful might, the cognitive feedback and cultivation realm increase brought about by refining it into reality would be huge.
Therefore, to Cui Heng, the best way was to choose a “stage” large enough. Then, he would use his fake identity to stand on the stage and obtain enough world-shaking achievements. This way, the fake identity would be remembered until the fake became real.
“The next biggest stage is Fugui’s unification of the world.” Cui Heng thought to himself, “What kind of identity can I use to participate in this process?
If I want the world to remember my fake identity and eventually refine the fake into reality, I have to play a huge role in this process. This requires resolving enough predicaments and conflicts.
What is the biggest and most widespread dilemma and conflict that Fugui will face when unifying the various countries?”
He thought for a moment and had an answer.
“After personally witnessing Cui Qing’s battle prowess and the relationship between Cui Qing and the nobles, the rulers of the various countries should not have much vigor left. It’s not difficult to unite them and take away their position as rulers.
Even if these rulers have any objections, they can just be killed directly. There’s no predicament. The real problem is still how to unite the majority?
The war between the countries has lasted for too long. The hatred between the different countries has been imprinted in everyone’s bones. Even ordinary people have this emotion.
The unification of the world means that they will become the citizens of a country with the people of other countries. They have to be united with those who have deep-rooted hatred for them. Just thinking about it is unacceptable.
Moreover, it’s very difficult to trust these people who have a blood feud with each other if they gather together, let alone think that their future is safe and stable. They would be worried about getting stabbed in the back all the time.
Therefore, the biggest problem in the unification plan is building up the basic trust between these ordinary people, making them acknowledge each other, and making them acknowledge that unifying the various countries is a thing that benefits everyone.
But what identity is the most suitable for me to do these things?”
