Chapter 971: Training Qi Dynasty, Heavenly Divine Being Descends

The land was vast and boundless.

Rivers, soil, trees, mountains.

It was impossible to tell that this was inside a tall tower; it felt like a vast, expansive world, with lush foliage and verdant ground.

A group of players, among the top thousand, appeared on the spot.

At this moment, they clearly perceived that both their own density and the density of the surrounding environment formed a strange, high-energy world under high compression.

Even powerful individuals would find it difficult to cause widespread destruction.

“That piano didn't appear here; was it taken directly? What species did she evolve that Caroline values so highly?”

“Never mind that. Brothers who made it in, stick to the original plan and quickly split into teams!”

“Yes, as we agreed, first collect resources and rapidly propagate species—specifically, televisions. We need to ensure everyone has one as soon as possible.”

“Construction teams, quickly start digging pits and building basements. We need to establish a base rapidly, hide inside, and then begin our 'farming' playstyle... watching TV!”

Countless individuals began to act, setting up camp.

At the same time, they discovered something terrifying.

This world had only existed for at most thirty to forty years, yet they sensed it was fraught with peril, with countless Fourth and Fifth Tier beings everywhere.

Sixth Tier beings were faintly discernible, seemingly the overlords of certain jungle strongholds.

“Sixth Tier beings have already appeared. Could there already be Seventh Tier Heavenly Emperors?”

“Most likely!”

“Damn it, Heavenly Emperors appearing in just over thirty years? That’s too exaggerated!”

“It’s only natural, everyone. Given this terrifying spiritual energy density, combined with inherited memories and ready-made, mature cultivation techniques, it’s perfectly normal for them to break through to Heavenly Emperor in thirty years... Even the twenty-something Battle Emperors next door still exist.”

“That’s true.”

However, all the players felt their scalps tingle with dread.

The top thousand players who came here weren't combat-oriented.

Because they were all focused on researching species with evolutionary potential to pass through the Evolution Corridor... Those who were combat-oriented were still enduring trials further back in the corridor, and it was uncertain if they would even make it in.

Someone in the group spoke up:

“Anyway, don’t panic. We are experienced players; this isn’t our first time pioneering a new world. We need to get moving on our own!”

“Proceed according to plan. Our Television Civilization was never meant to be a combat-oriented civilization.... We are like the root of the world, similar to the Earth Mother Qing Teng. Our sole responsibility is to maintain the television equipment. Let them fight their battles and develop their civilizations.... We are just—spectators!”

“Yes, we are merely the hosts of this live television broadcast. We absolutely must not interfere with the era directly. We only provide the foundation for the world and handle television sales, remaining neutral like Mother Earth.”

“So, let’s begin finding sufficiently talented individuals to sell televisions to.”

“Isn’t that a bit too soon? None of us have yet been able to entangle a quantum battle body to make contact. Won’t it be unsafe?”

“Who said you should make direct contact?”

In the World of the White Tower, in the blink of an eye, another ten years passed.

The entire land was in turmoil. The Cybermen and Digimon tribes waged war against each other, in a savage and bloody manner, suffering heavy losses.

Another ten years passed.

During this period of conflict, various tribes engaged in internal strife and warfare.

Powerful tribes developed language and writing, engaged in farming and herding. Peerless Heavenly Emperors established dynasties one after another, their national fortunes growing increasingly prosperous, with countless cultivators.

Throughout the land, the art of True Qi began to flourish.

A few more years passed, and countless peerless masters who cultivated True Qi, having refined their qi into void, could now soar through the air, moving freely between heaven and earth.

This land developed rapidly; ten years here felt like two hundred years in the outside world!

Finally, in the Wushan Tribe, the first deity appeared, revered as Emperor Dongqing.

This divine overlord possessed unparalleled talent, embodying the aura of a sacred dragon. With his Azure Dragon Force True Qi technique, he swept directly through the northern mountain range, forcing the Demon Emperor clan entrenched there to submit.

The following year, Emperor Dongqing ventured alone into the Western Desert.

He single-handedly swept through the renowned Great Martial Dynasty, whose Great Martial Emperor declared submission.

Another day, he entered the Beast Tribe to the south, beheading the Beast Tribe’s Great Emperor. Emperor Dongqing swept across the entire great domain, his prestige reaching its zenith.

The Dongqing Divine Dynasty was officially established.

The various great dynasties were successively enfeoffed as hereditary vassal states. The entire land experienced an unprecedented unification: language, writing, and currency began to be highly standardized.

Furthermore, they were required to adopt the dynasty’s attire and customs: wearing cloud robes and high-soled shoes. All men began to grow their hair long and tie it up, wear ceremonial crowns, and carry jade pendants at their waists to distinguish their social class.

Inside the Imperial Palace’s court, it was resplendent with gold and jade, and wisps of green sandalwood smoke floated throughout the grand hall.

Emperor Dongqing, clad in a bright yellow dragon robe, stood with his hands behind his back, his face exuding an aura of majesty as he sat on the imperial throne, conveying an ineffable sense of dominance.

“Recently, I have observed the edge of our world. Beyond our domain, there is another realm, superior to ours,” Emperor Dongqing said with a dignified expression. “It seems there is a great world outside our domain. That world is different from ours; they cultivate Buddhism, while we cultivate True Qi. This world is a multi-layered, tower-shaped structure, and we are merely one of its many heavens.”

The surrounding officials were greatly astonished.

There were even more worlds beyond their domain?

They had always believed they were at the center of the world, with a round sky and square earth.

But His Majesty, how extraordinary was his vision? His gaze had already pierced beyond their domain?

“Our civilization is only a few decades old. It is only through the compassion of immortals that we have obtained this opportunity.”

Emperor Dongqing, wise and mighty, full of fighting spirit, declared: “Beyond this world, there are still other worlds and countless adversaries. I intend to promote martial arts to all citizens... You all need not hide your skills; only by everyone cultivating can our nation become strong...”

Before his words had even finished echoing, suddenly, a small television descended from the sky, crashing down in front of the imperial court, creating a moderately sized pit.

“What demon dares disturb my imperial court?”

Powerful guards immediately sprang into action, blocking the way forward.

“There’s no need to fear. I will examine it myself.” Emperor Dongqing descended from the throne, stepped out of the hall, and saw a light blue television set with thick eyebrows, large eyes, and two small antennas, looking utterly adorable.

“A divine artifact from the heavens? What is this?”

Emperor Dongqing was slightly astonished.

“A television user manual?”

Emperor Dongqing’s face was filled with vigilance.

A mysterious meteorite falling from the sky—could it be a gift from ancient immortals?

Or perhaps a trick from some mysterious, unknown enemy from one of the other great worlds?

He couldn’t help but cautiously examine the manual, and the more he read, the more he marveled, and the more he was astonished.

This great Emperor couldn’t help but slap the table in amazement and burst into hearty laughter, which echoed throughout the imperial palace. Countless officials watched, dumbfounded, as the divine Emperor exclaimed: “Heaven has blessed our dynasty! A ‘patada-patada’ little television! How could such a divine artifact exist in this world?”
