Chapter 131: Letting them lose together
At this moment, the members of the Yun Sect finally realized something, this was a challenge that the number one scholar union in Central State was afraid of facing!This common young man who everyone looked down on was actually pressuring over one hundred scholars to the point where they found it hard to breathe!
The Yun Family juniors were shocked.The Yun Sect scholars were people the Yun Family recruited from large organizations and not a single one of them was a simple person!
It was because of this that they normally looked down on everything.
They thought they were a cut above the others and paid no attention to the Yun Family juniors!
When people faced these high masters, they did not dare to disrespect them because they were all top figures in various fields.It was fine for them to be proud and arrogant.
However that changed the moment this young man leisurely walked in with his casual body language and smile that never disappeared.
The Yun Sect scholars were now in a giant bind.Their heads were covered in sweat and they continued to discuss with one another.They didn’t even dare to breathe too loudly, treating this situation very severely.
Who was strong and who was weak could be clearly seen with a single glance.
This was only the beginning!
The Yun Family juniors felt as if their view of the world was turned upside down.The masters that they had looked up to were now joining forces against a single commoner youth.The most shocking thing was that even though they were working together, they were still at a disadvantage.
“Since you know everything about modern and ancient history, let me ask you.”Li Tai asked in a fierce voice, “The continent has many eras, what is the characteristic of each era?”
This question seemed very simple.
But was actually very hard to respond to.
The problem was that there were many disputes and contradictions with the answer itself.No matter how Chu Tian answered, Li Tai would find a way to refute him.
Chu Tian revealed a slight smile and calmly replied.
“Since the world was born, there have been four eras.”
“In the beginning of the world, there was around a hundred million years where the continent was built from scratch.The world itself was dead during this period and there were no life forms at all.It was the period where materials and laws of the world were just beginning to form.This beginning period was divided into nine periods, they are……”
Chu Tian gave an eloquent tirade.
He listed every one of the nine periods, how they formed, how they developed, what the outcomes were.He clearly described each and every detail and reason.
This made Li Tai dumbfounded.
He could not find a single point to refute.
Chu Tian’s answer was impregnable and had answered countless unsolved mysteries.
“After the developing world era, the continent entered the great ancient era.”
“The great ancient era lasted around ten million years of years.The world laws of the continent continued to grow and life began to take form.Countless legendary Ancient Demons, Ancient Gods, and Divine Beasts were born in this era.The great ancient era was divided into five periods……”
“The High Ancient Era lasted for around a million years and was considered a peak in history.The life forms of the ancient continent were like stars with countless advanced civilizations.Countless strong races appeared and what represented them was……”
“The Broken Era occurred at the peak of the great ancient era.Because the continent was too big, even shining a light would take several years to get to the other end.This caused many different world laws to appear.Because there were too many kinds of world laws conflicting with one another on the continent, the ancient continent finally collapsed!”
“In the end, the ancient continent exploded and each fragment became its own continent.They formed their own space and time dimensions and formed world laws independent of one another.Like this, the gods and demons fell……”
“…….”
Chu Tian had given a detailed description of the evolution of the world.All the main events, all the important characters had all been clearly described.
The young men and women from the Yun Family listened on dumbfoundedly.
Because the content was too lustrous and dazzling, they had never heard it before!
Li Tai was completely dumbfounded.The academic society already had some ideas of the world’s origins and development, but there had never been a person like this who could clearly separate the time periods and describe each period clearly.
“So you are saying that our continent is a fragment formed from the explosion of the ancient continent?”A young girl wearing the Yun Family’s uniform could not help asking, “Do the other fragments still exist?”
Chu Tian calmly looked over the ten boards and then calmly began to write another rune.Hearing the question, he calmly answered, “Of course they still exist.Although the ancient continent collapsed, it still has not disappeared.I believe that one day we will be able to break through the dimensional barrier and reconnect with the other continents.We can explore all the different resources they have and compete with the mysterious races of the other continents!”
The Yun Family juniors were all shocked!
Is this true?
This continent was already vast and boundless and it was still developing, it was hard for people to even find the boundary of the world, but this was actually only a single fragment of the ancient continent.How amazing of a world was the ancient continent when it was still complete?
Chu Tian did not seem like he was competing at the Yun Sect at this moment.He seemed more like a teacher that was giving his students a history lesson.
Yun Guangyan flew into a rage and stared at those curious faces of those juniors who wanted to ask more, “What are you doing!Are you not embarrassed?Why have you not moved to the side yet!”
The Yun Family juniors revealed expression of regret.They had a lot they still wanted to ask, but with their elders here, they could only helplessly move aside.
Yun Guangyan gave a cold snort and said, “This is all absolutely nonsense.Do you even have evidence to prove what you just said!”
Chu Tian laughed, “Then do you have evidence that proves what I just said is nonsense?”
Yun Guangyan looked at Li Tai, but Li Tai had a face like he had just eaten poop, “Humph, although he has added in several imaginative speculations, the time period he described is about right!”
Li Tai did not imagine that Chu Tian would give this kind of impregnable response.
If he wanted to talk about world origin studies, all the things he learned were what his teacher had heard from the schools of large countries.Even those large countries only had a small idea and had no concise theory.
Li Tai then asked, “Let me ask you, do you know how many civilizations have appeared on the continent?As well, how many eras have the human civilization had?”
“After the Ancient Continent broke, almost all of the immortals that lived in the era had died.The descendants of those gods and demons had survived and slowly began to multiple, eventually forming a population.This process took around eight hundred thousand years.”
“There were the Demon Race, Heaven Race, Dragon Race, Elves, Spiritual Beast, etc. civilizations that arose, but once those civilizations collapsed, the sixth civilization, the Human Race was born.”
“When the Demons and Heaven Race ruled, there were few intelligent beings on the continent.The two ancient bloodline clans did not form any empires in the end.When the elves and dragons ruled, their era was split into four time periods.But since they had long lives and slow metabolisms, their civilization progressed slowly and was eventually replaced by the Spiritual Beast Era.”
“The Spiritual Beast Era was split into eight different periods.The Spiritual Beasts multiplied quickly and formed a giant kingdom, creating a magnificent era.”
“All the way until twenty thousand years ago, when the humans appeared on the east side of the continent.The humans were an even more dominating race than the Spiritual Beasts.The humans had the dragon clan’s intelligence, the elves’ learning abilities, and a stronger potential than the Spiritual Beasts.Also the humans were a very short lived race, but they had a strong reproductive ability, which meant that they could stand on the ruins of the past few generations and develop their civilization even faster!”
Another person couldn’t help asking, “Why is it that the short lived humans could actually have a stronger civilization?”
“Good question!”Chu Tian raised his pen and looked at that person, “Suppose you had the lifespan of ten thousand years, what kind of changes would your life have?”
“This, this……”
That person could not imagine it.
This was a joke!
Ten thousand years!
What would you need to be afraid of?
Naturally one would find a safe place and live a peaceful life!
With ten thousand years, no matter how slow one’s learning speed was, they still would not lose to any masters!
The young man’s eyes that shined like stars seemed like it could pierce through his mind, “Because with a long life, ten years can be like a single day.Your will to learn will slowly be molded down and you will not race against time to make yourself stronger.You will live a relaxed and comfortable life so you would only casually practice your cultivation.A single nap for a dragon was ten years and the elves were immersed in art, causing their development to slow and the entire population to lose the will to better themselves.”
Once Chu Tian said this, he suddenly stopped.
“On the other hand, when cultivation, studying, and reproduction is compressed into just seventy years of life and one can only have what they want if they become stronger, everyone will be racing against time to cultivate.If they make wasting time a sin, then it turns into a completely different picture!Moreover, the world is very fair.Those with long lives have weak reproductive abilities and those with short lives have strong reproductive abilities.The Dragon Race and Elves were very strong, but being replaced by the Spiritual Beasts and humans was something that was required by history!”
“Not only do the humans have a stronger reproductive might compared to the Spiritual Beasts, compared to the Spiritual Beasts, they have higher intelligence and stronger learning ability.It is because of this that humans dominating the continent was something that had to happen in history.When humans appeared twenty thousand years ago, they could already compete with the elves and Spiritual Beasts.Then another ten thousand year pass and the human population has increased by ten times while the civilization development speed has increased by a hundred times.Of course we would become the overlords of the continent!”
“…….”
The more Chu Tian said, the more mysterious it felt to the listeners.In the end, they were all filled with a sense of enlightenment and a deep pride in their own race.
Humans were actually this strong!
A short lifespan was not a good thing, but to an entire race, this was not a disadvantage.
The Yun Family juniors all revealed expressions of awe!
Educated!
Wise!
This young man around the same age as them was too powerful.He was not bragging at all, other than astronomy or geography, he really did know everything from the present and past!
No wonder he dared to challenge the Yun Sect.
This young man truly had the ability to do so!
Nobody knew when, but the ten boards were completely covered in runes.It was clear that the chess game was in a stalemate.
