Sowing the Seeds of Truth

Xu Zhi was quite satisfied with their shocked and horrified reactions.

I've successfully hyped things up.

They're sufficiently shocked.

I won't be responsible for what happens next.

He understood this very well; he had to give them ambition and the idea that they had nothing to fear.

He would draw a huge, empty pie, a grand but hollow future, regardless of whether it could be realized. First, he had to boast! He had to explain to them that his path was amazing, extremely amazing, and show them his vast and broad prospects!

Only then would they walk down it with unwavering faith.

In Xu Zhi's eyes, witches represented rigor, adherence to the principle of equivalent exchange, and an obsession with acquiring knowledge and using it to leverage the entire world. He was simply stating this definition.

Everything is created, and paths are made by walking.

He was just giving them a path, letting them freely explore and unleash their potential along it.

As for whether they could truly achieve what he described, if they were just mortals on the ground, unable to understand the knowledge of the gods, that wasn't him boasting or talking nonsense.

"Great God of Wisdom, Hermes, how does Gilgamesh, the greatest Hero King of humanity, compare to you in power?" Medea asked, trembling.

Xu Zhi thought for a moment and said, "Gilgamesh possesses the power of a false god, but before me, he is utterly vulnerable."

Xu Zhi was exaggerating more and more, not afraid of overdoing it.

Everyone was silent.

Next, Xu Zhi stood on the branch and slowly revealed the Meditation methods of Western Yoga and the Inner Vision Visualization Method of Eastern Taoism, which would be their rudimentary forms of Meditation.

Then, he casually talked about the knowledge of Alchemy, directly stealing some ancient Western alchemical theories as the starting point of their civilization. Whether they could develop anything from it depended on them.

After Xu Zhi finished speaking, he directly left the sandbox world from the black Three-Eyed Raven and logged off.

After all, this black raven was a disposable, low-quality species, a medium for coming to the sandbox, and there was no need to cherish it.

In fact, the theories he spoke of were not nonsense, and there was a basis for them.

Meditation exists in both the East and the West.

His statements about Alchemy and the Trinity Formula were all ancient Western alchemical theories.

Witchcraft was a theory he had researched from ancient Western books recording witches.

These all existed in human history on ancient Earth.

Perhaps they didn't appear out of thin air, but there may have been similar extraordinary sprouts that never fully emerged and were forgotten with the rise of technology.

"The seeds of theory have been sown, I wonder if they can bloom into brilliant flowers."

Xu Zhi didn't know if it would succeed, otherwise, he wouldn't have used this sandbox world to deduce a path of cultivation.

Pa! The strange three-eyed black-feathered raven on the tree suddenly fell to the ground, dropping from the lush tree.

The people present still looked pious.

It wasn't until the mysterious three-eyed black-feathered raven had fallen for a long time that Medea and the others dared to approach slowly, confirming that the mysterious Hermes had left.

"What a great life."

Medea secretly guessed, her heart burning with eagerness, "An intangible, formless, great lifeform, the God Mercury, who can possess any life, holds wisdom and truth, and wisdom and truth are precisely intangible and formless existences!"

They returned to the tribe and began to eagerly try the Meditation methods.

As for this strange three-eyed raven, the three of them also studied the corpse.

They were horrified to discover that they had never seen it on this land! It seemed to be a mysterious species that appeared out of thin air in this world, and its structure was completely different from the existing giant beast species, as if it came from another world.

"A creature that doesn't belong to this world, could it be from somewhere else?" Medea whispered.

Circe next to her, no longer fighting with her, was also shocked, and whispered to her two sisters, "According to historical records, our world, Hero King Gilgamesh, once sent hundreds of thousands of Sumerian warriors to explore it. The sky is round and the earth is square, there shouldn't be any unknown sections that we don't know about, could it be..."

"In the sky!"

They suddenly, unanimously, slowly raised their heads, looking at the blue sky above the Babylon Tribe.

The Great Flood also poured down from the sky.

Could it be that there's a mysterious continent in the sky, a sky island, inhabited by all sorts of strange, unknown creatures, the dwelling place of the gods, vast and boundless? They were shocked, completely immersed in their own fantasies.

Xu Zhi slightly closed his eyes and exited the game interface.

"Finally got it done. I recited it several times beforehand, afraid of saying a single word wrong. As expected, acting isn't my forte; it was so stifling. If it weren't for curing my illness, I wouldn't bother with such awkwardness, running to them to recite lines, imparting knowledge, guiding the development of a civilization, acting as a creator, yet not revealing my own weakness. It's truly vexing."

Xu Zhi put down the VR Glasses.

Logically speaking, if a terrifying figure like Gilgamesh were to appear before him in equal proportion, he could be crushed to death with a single slap. That's a monster who wouldn't die even after falling from a thousand meters.

Even the Three Witches before him, the power and knowledge they possessed were obtained through countless deaths, setbacks, and hardships, making them powerful transcendent beings beyond Xu Zhi's reach.

Yet, he had to deceive them. Just thinking about it gave him a headache. He was just an ordinary person! After logging off, he silently took a shower, then returned and restarted the small sandbox game.

Within minutes, the players were all online.

"Damn it, Dog Planner! Bring your head to me!"

"Suddenly shutting down the server for bug fixes is one thing, but I'm really angry this time. Reopening the server without even a notification! You made this grinder waste precious time!"

They cursed and grumbled, then frantically grinded the game again, striving to evolve new species for Xu Zhi.

Xu Zhi didn't hear the clamoring of those weaklings. He had the magnanimity of a creator and was still fighting for his cancer, "Using a world to conduct a sandbox civilization simulation to find a way to self-heal my terminal illness... I doubt anyone else in this world could do such an extravagant thing, right? But this path of simulating transcendence is really difficult."

Since modern Earth's medicine and science couldn't cure him, Xu Zhi would use the witches' witchcraft, alchemy's potions, these "feudal superstitious" methods, to find a way to cure himself.

The seeds had already been planted.

Of the three types of knowledge imparted, Xu Zhi naturally had the highest expectations for alchemy, creating potions, elixirs, and researching diseases that could cure his cancer. This was his primary goal.

But alchemy only existed in myths, too mysterious and unpredictable. Realizing it would probably be very difficult.

But the other two paths imparted, Meditation and Witchcraft, should be viable.

Meditation goes without saying.

Western Yoga meditation breathing techniques and Eastern Taoism's Inner Vision, are similar.

Cultivating oneself, expanding one's Essence, Energy, Spirit, is a sure thing. It depends on how they expand various meditation methods, thoroughly research the witch system, and the various levels of witch cultivation.

And Witchcraft would inevitably arise. After all, with higher mental strength, they would naturally develop various subtle applications of mental power, so there was no need to worry.

"Preparations are complete. Let's see what they can develop into. It's just a pity that there are too few transcendent species, like the Evil Eye. If there were more, it would provide better inspiration... After all, my idea is to create a transcendent world of witches, inhabited by all sorts of strange and terrifying transcendent species, full of dangers, yet extremely exciting."

Xu Zhi sighed and silently looked at the players, "Put some effort into it, you guys."

Xu Zhi lamented their misfortune and was angry at their lack of ambition!

These guys didn't think about properly evolving species with transcendent potential, properly playing the sandbox game, or creating the next Big Eye Monster. All they thought about were crooked ways, whispering to each other, trying to mess with him every other day.

"A bunch of animals, I have to find a way to squeeze you dry."

Xu Zhi didn't have any ideas or inspiration for the time being. At this moment, Chen Xi's voice came from the door, "Xu Zhi, you promised to accompany me to the class reunion. It's time to leave."

Xu Zhi was stunned for a moment before he realized that going to the city to relax wasn't a bad idea. He put on the new clothes he had bought before and strode out.

"Holy crap, the giant is walking out again, earthquake! Run!"

"Brothers, retreat quickly, the attacking giant is here again!"

"Hehe, I have six legs, I don't need to run faster than the giant, I just need to run faster than you!"

"Brother, you're going too far! Next time, I'll evolve eight beautiful long legs and see who runs faster!"

A group of ants on the ground shouted and ran wildly. They were afraid of being accidentally trampled to death. After all, they had died countless times to evolve to the shore.
