In a few days, the city walls changed flags for the second time.
Shen Lian was looking down on everything from the highest point of the tower. He felt the losses, anxieties, and hopes of the masses within the city. They were people who were used to being rules. They were even more afraid of no one ruling inside the city. This disrupted the fixed rhythm of their lives.
If a person had gotten used to how to live, they would be terrified themselves if they wanted to make other changes.
Everyone’s inner demand was not the same but the demands of the same kind of people were similar in the bigger direction. Shen Lian could feel the many kinds of wandering thoughts.
He could not be any clearer in understanding why deities needed to draw in faith. This was because this kind of thought was impure and not powerful, but it was hard to annihilate. It would reproduce in an endless succession and it was endless.
As long as a portion of the thoughts were satisfied, one could gain reciprocation beyond their imagination.
In the eyes of that kind of existence, the mases were the lambs of the monarch and they were the spring source of its might.
Not only did deities needed the faith of the masses, the ruler too needed the recognition and the support of the people. This was the basis for ruling. When this recognition and support disappeared, those higher ups in the position of power would be knocked down into the dust.
Of course, Shen Lian being the kind of person who was detached from the ordinary was not in this league. They were the other kind of people who existed in the universe, but they also had dependency. They depended on the power that they drew from this universe and the power that they controlled by themselves.
However, when this dependency was compared to the dependency of the masses, the dependency of faith was much lighter.
The sun that was high up in the sky was emitting limitless light and heart, as though not only it did not relied on anything matter, it took the initiate to release energy that covered every corner of the universe.
The greatness of the sun lied in its giving in charity. Shen Lian was unable to achieve this tall banks for now.
In the legends of this world, the moon devoured the radiance of the stars but it did not mentioned that the sun devoured the radiance of the moon and stars. This was enough proof of the uniqueness of the sun.
It was naturally unavoidable for Shen Lian’s curiosity towards the sun to thicken even more.
He had a feeling that one day, he would be able to see the kind of shocking truth that was hidden within that humungous ball of fire.
With the support Chen Qing gotten along the way, she entered into the residence of the city master. Finally, she met Shen Lian who was riding Black Tiger.
“It turned out as you have said. It was very easy to take siege of this city.” Chen Qing looked at Shen Lian complicated. This was the flesh that had fallen from her body. It was both intimate and also strange.
After all, she was pregnant with him for ten months and tey were related by flesh and blood. If Shen Lian was in any danger, she could even give up everything she had in exchange of his wellbeing. However, this was not enough for them to have the intimacy of the worldly mother and son.
Shen Lian too keenly understood the relationship between the both of them. They were unlike the worldly mother and son but this was also unchangeable. This was because he was Shen Lian, Shen Lian who had not lost his memories. He was an independent, knowledgeable and extraordinary existence.
He could repay the grace for being birthed but there was no way to change his own thinking. Furthermore, he was never an ordinary person!
Therefore, Shen Lian did not struggled. Rather, he told his own observation of Xi Liang City to Chen Qing who was listening. By doing so, she was able to run this city better.
The content was a lot and very complication. However, Shen Lian explained slowly and leisurely. It was simplified which made it easier for Chen Qing to comprehend.
Next, Chen Qing promulgated decrees in an orderly manner, all of it were directed towards the current situation within the city. The decrees were not oo many and they were easy to remember. After a few days of adapting to it, everyone had a profound respect for the new city master, but they did not know that it was Shen Lian who was giving advices and ideas in the back.
Under Shen Lian’s direction, Chen Qing chose twenty of the most loyal people and taught them cultivation. This was going to be the very core military might of Xi Liang City.
As for Shen Lian, he returned to Mount Jieyang after giving out suggestions. Very little people knew about him.
However, as he stayed in Mount Jieyang, Chen Qing would send people to interact with him every day and they would bring along the necessities that she thought that Shen Lian would need. Then, they would draw out a pail of Yin Gathering Fountain back.
Shen Lian went to the Zimu River before he left Xi Liang City. That river passed through Xi Liang City and once it was out from the city, it did not have the wonderful ability to allow people to be pregnant.
The essence of the water of the Zimu River had the characteristic of Yin within Yang. This was why after someone had conceived, they would give birth to a girl.
Because of this body that had undergone more recovery under his divine thoughts, he had come in contact with things that were of deeper levels. His bloodline was pure and the inner body structure was regular. It was the same as someone who had been forcefully created using a template. However, ultimately, there was a naturalness that was lost, which caused the bloodlines and inner body structures of the Xi Liang City’s female to be very fixed, It was hard for it to change.
Shen Lian could not help but associate the legends of the creation of humans.
With Shen Lian’s pass capabilities, he could gather the Qi of heaven and earth as sacred paintings and it was no different than a living human being. Naturally, it was extremely easy for him but it was entirely impossible for him to create a human. It was even more impossible to create living beings.
It was something similar to someone sculpting a mountain rock and it would be lifelike, but ultimately, it was not a living being.
After Shen Lian’s state had reached the state of Tian Xian, there was no more front road to be followed. He only knew that to take a step further, it would be ‘Taiyi Tian Xian’. However, what exactly was ‘Taiyi Tian Xian’, he was unclear about it.
Until now, he vaguely had ideas of it. If he could understand the most subtle and exquisite structure of the body flesh, under the reference of a temple, perhaps he was able to introduce bloodlines of other species. He could even alter his own bloodline and transform from one species to another species.
By then, he was able to transform into a dragon, phoenix, prehistoric beast, a pure male or female. Could this be consider as systematically and supposedly entering a higher level?
Shen Lian named this state as ‘change’. After change was creating living beings and even after that, was creating humans. Men were the souls of the universe, so it was natural for it to be the hardest being to be created.
He did not went deep in thought for this state because this was different that his previous cultivations. It needed a huge amount of practice and even more help of the power of the Primordial Spirit
There were times when the cultivation needed to be quick, because once the chance was missed, it was very difficult to search for it again.
However, there were times when the cultivation needed to be slow because this time, it needed accumulation, lots and lots of accumulation and outside conditions.
Now, ten days had passed since he left Xi Liang City Under the tempering of the Qi of vitality, his body was slightly sturdy. He could walk upright on the ground. However, due to the limitation of the condition of his body, it was not very quick.
Currently, he hardly displayed spells because he wanted to experience more of any kind of subtle changes of the flesh while he interacted with the kinds of Qi dynamic of the universe.
His cultivation was too quick in the previous world. He had gotten a lot but he had also lost some of the interest that came with cultivating.
He reached the small house by the side. Its big doors were open wide and bright light shone from the outside.
Inside, there was a forty year old middle aged man who was leaning on the wall. He watched as Shen Lian entered, his expression was slightly stiffed. Anyone who was locked up for seven days and had no one to interact with and no one to talk to would become numb.
Even though he was only forty years old, but his face was marred with weathered marks. This result originated from his yearly rushing about.
The middle aged man was a letter delivery man. This was an ancient professional because there were some people who were travelling outside and had difficulties corresponding with their family back home, hence the birth of this profession. They help others run errands, mainly delivering letters and light items. For those in this profession, the most important was not the quality of one’s body being good but their credibility.
Shen Lian keenly looked at him and said, “I know you are a man of integrity, which is why I need you to help me send a message back.”
