Forty Millenniums of Cultivation

In Li Yao's mind, a picture appeared.

One strange, monstrous star and sea warship after another, transporting a large number of warriors, wise men, researchers and academic authorities of ancient civilization with their families around the entrance to the ruins of Tai Ancient.

And before leaving the ship and entering into the ruins of Tai Ancient, they all signed a covenant and made a solemn vow - from now on, in isolation from the world, to explore the mysteries of Tai Ancient with all their life and souls, until the day when the mysteries of Tai Ancient were completely solved and the "black wall” that binds the entire civilization was overthrown, they could not return home.

In fact, the first group of expert scholars knew very well that the deep, mysterious and complex nature of the Ethereal monuments could not achieve their goals without exhausting their lives.

At best, they cast their remains into new steps so that future generations can step on their shoulders, step up and reach their final destination.

Even so, they had no remorse and abandoned everything they had in the red dust world and entered the quarantine zone known as the "Immortal Palace”.

“The ‘fairy’ of the so-called 'Immortal Palace' naturally refers to the ‘original ancestors', or black-wall makers, but over time, the tribes of the outside world have misconstrued to think that's what we call ourselves. ”

Moon watchers sighed slightly, revealing a sorrow that was extremely inconsistent with the young face, continued, “It is no wonder that I also learned a long time later that the life in the Immortal Palace is so different from the life in the core area of Pangu civilization. After thousands of years of fermentation, the civilizations on both sides are completely moving in two different directions, almost becoming very different and very divided between two races and two civilizations.

“In the Immortal Palace, although the environment is constantly changing, there are many crises everywhere, creepy and fatal traps, but the residents here are mostly expert scholars and their descendants, everyone's mind is pure, carrying the same mission to carry forward, there are not many things to fight for, the social order is very simple, like a 'world of peaches'.

“Outside the Immortal Palace, however, the core region of Pangu civilization, influenced by the failure of the Great Expedition, as well as the existence of the 'flood tide' and ‘ancestors', fermented various rhetoric and spoken strange theories eroded, society was very volatile, people were extremely anxious, almost everyone was worried about the 'coming of the end’ problem all day, coupled with limited resources, a great deal of resources had to be channelled into the 'Immortal Palace’ for us to analyze the secrets of the ancient civilization and ancestors, so social development almost stagnated, civil unrest and strife fluctuated, all year round.

“In order to suppress the volatile situation and free the entire population from the fear of the ‘end of the day', many more people at the highest level have come up with ‘emotional seal, spiritual control' methods, although, as I have just said, their emotional seal and spiritual control are misguided and will only further castrate the will and creativity of the population and will naturally provoke greater resistance.

“After all, Pangu civilization has developed for nearly a million years, it is a well-deserved ruler of Pangu universe, deeply entrenched in the extreme point, the disease of Xuan to the extent of the disease into the bone marrow, it will take a long time, until the entire millennium before that, the relationship between the Immortal Palace and the outside world, is still barely stable - the outside world provides the Immortal Palace with constant resources, including a large number of crystalline stones and celestial treasures, as well as the best talents outside, and the Immortal Palace continuously discovers and analyzes the treasures within the ancient relics, after figuring out the principles, obtains a large number of new technologies, as well as replicas of magic treasures, exported to the outside world, and maintains the last vibrancy of Pangu civilization.

“Though we have yet to understand the purpose of our ancestors and the technology they used, the hundreds of ancient civilizations that descended here, evolved to the same degree as we did, gained much under the hard work of countless scholars and adventurers who burned their souls, sacrificed their lives, and worked day after day.

“In the first millennium after the establishment of the 'Immortal Palace', it passed so calmly that it was both the golden years of the Immortal Palace and the last glory of the ancient civilization outside.

“It was the time of my fathers and grandfathers, and I was born in the second millennium of the discovery of the ancient relics of Pangu civilization.

“As we enter the second millennium, there are more and more contradictions between the Immortal Palace and the outside world, the atmosphere is becoming more tense and the situation is becoming more and more sophisticated, as if it were a dark shadow over the heads of both sides.

“First of all, the great excavation of the past millennium, we have found all the easy to analyze techniques in the Immortal Palace, the easy to replicate pharmacopoeia, and then before us, are very hard bones to devour.

“Since you are also a refiner, you should also have a certain understanding of the fields of materials, psychics, aerodynamics, etc., and know the difficulties in the frontier academic field, not according to schedule, water to channel, how much resources must be invested to achieve results. Many times, a formula proves that the discovery of a law requires not only the light of a genius, but also the luck of Xuan and Xuan.

“We have exhausted all our luck in the first millennium, and by the second millennium, the technological dilemma before us is like a mountain rising into the clouds again and again. It takes generations, hundreds of years of effort, not just overnight.

“But the tribes out there can't wait that long.

“In the last millennium, they have become accustomed to the 'pay with one hand, deliver with one hand' model of coexistence, where they constantly devote a great deal of resources to the Immortal Palace, which, at intervals, delivers to them a great deal of sophisticated, mature and very useful technology and pharmacopoeia that allow them to use these things to temporarily appease anxious and agitated people.

“But now, for an entire hundred years, we have not delivered much valuable technology and fashion to the outside world, and the outside world still maintains a huge input of resources, which inevitably causes dissatisfaction and misgivings among the leaders of the outside world, those of the highest authorities of Pangu civilization.

“Now think about it, when we were building the Immortal Palace, recruiting researchers and explorers, we made a very serious mistake —— we absorbed the most cutting-edge expert scholars and frontier field researchers of the entire civilization into the Immortal Palace, and stayed outside, all state-of-the-art politicians and soldiers, although there was an 'academic council’ that acted as a bridge between the two sides, the scholars in this council were all second-rate.

“The mindset of expert scholars and politicians is completely different, and no matter how hard we explain to them the difficulty of research and the importance of maintaining a sustained investment of resources, they are all deaf and eager to ask us to produce the results as soon as possible, otherwise we will have to cut down our investment in the Immortal Palace and even send an oversight team to fully liquidate the work of the Immortal Palace for nearly a thousand years. ”

Speaking of which, there was a clear glimmer of disappointment and frustration in the face of the moon watcher.

But Li Yaoxin didn't think so.

Moon watchers, who have been in the ruins of Tai Ancient Ruins since childhood, can be said to be pure scholars growing up in the laboratory, naturally unaware of the complexity of the matter and the dangers of the human heart.

Li Yao, however, once circled between the three forces of the Federation, the Empire and the Alliance. His wife had been the Speaker of the Federation. He knew very well that mastering a civilization was not as simple as playing a game called "Civilization", and the interests of all parties were intertwined, which was harder to sort out than chaos.

Without knowing how expensive Chai Mi is, Moon Watchers think that “the source continuously conveys resources” is a very light phrase, but the outside world has the potential to provoke a huge wave, even a temple hall and a river and lake struggle, so that millions of people strain their belts and starve to death.

In particular, Li Yao knows that the great expedition into a pluralistic universe across the black wall has consumed most of the resources and potential of Pangu civilization. It is considered a turning point for Pangu civilization to flourish and decline. In the thousands of years since then, Pangu civilization's resources must have become increasingly scarce. Combined with the rumours of "flood tide approaching, the end of the day", it erodes social order, popular resentment has boiled, demonic winds are converging, and the control of the highest authorities on all sides must be greatly reduced.

In this context, while maintaining social order and forcing the population to tighten their belts, there is also a constant flow of vast resources to the "Immortal Palace”. The highest authorities of Pangu civilization must also be exhausted and have a cracked headache.

If the Immortal Palace can produce research on a continuous basis, the highest authorities can barely sustain such a "deal” until the Immortal Palace cannot produce valuable research for a hundred years, and how can the highest authorities persuade all the people to strangle their belts to the limit and then lug them inside?

Experts and scholars of the Confederation and Empire have had some examination of the Pangu civilization's regime. For most of the time, Pangu civilization did not have a authoritarian ruler, but also implemented a republican system of tribal consultation. Therefore, no dictator can slate, unconditionally, unconditionally, principlelessly and indefinitely open the supply of resources to the Immortal Palace. Any supply of resources must be subject to questioning and censorship by institutions such as the Parliament.

On the other hand, in the Immortal Palace, there are many secret treasures, perhaps the power to destroy the heavens and the earth. No civilization with a sound system can allow such power. In the hands of a small group of people, even the Moon Visitor himself said, after the millennium development, scholars and people from outside the Immortal Palace gradually evolved into almost two civilizations. So, in the case that the Immortal Palace has not produced valuable results for a hundred years, the people from outside are skeptical about them, to enter the Immortal Palace, to make a comprehensive inventory, what is strange?
