To Establish a Heart for Heaven and Earth
——
"Good lad!"
Before Ning Fengzhi could speak, Sword Douluo laughed and scolded, "Countless people want to obtain this Seven Treasure Token, but they don't even have a way to get it. And you actually want a more tangible reward?"
"Hehe, I'm just a commoner."
Zhou Qing wasn't embarrassed, and then said to Ning Fengzhi, "However, Uncle Ning, I don't want money, I just hope you can let me participate in the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament three years from now."
"Three years from now, you'll only be nine years old. Isn't that a bit too much of a rush?"
Although Ning Fengzhi no longer treats Zhou Qing as a child, he is still only six years old!
Absolutely!
Three years later, he will definitely reach the level of Soul Grandmaster, and if he can fully master the invisible and intangible power of belief that he just unleashed... conservatively speaking, he might even be able to fight against Soul King.
However, nine years old is still too young!
But Zhou Qing now has a reason why he has no choice but to participate!
Participate in the one after that?
That's such a waste of time!
He had already made up his mind, so he had to start preparing now to ascertain the general situation of the three major powers: the Heaven Dou Empire, the Star Luo Empire, and the Spirit Hall.
In this respect, one cannot rely solely on novels read in a previous life for reference...
Twenty years!
He only has twenty years at most!
The reason why the Shrek Seven Devils were able to reach the Titled Douluo level before the age of thirty in the original novel was that they underwent the Divine Trial!
Without this step, how can a normal person become Titled Douluo around the age of twenty?
Either accept the test from the Deity.
Either they cheat.
The main characters in the later Douluo series, Huo Yuhao, have the Fortune, while the other two, Tang Wulin and Lan Yuxuan, have the power of bloodline!
Now, it is clear that Zhou Qing will not be able to participate in any Divine Trial in the future, so as not to be targeted by those Deity and used as a substitute for them to Reduction to Void ".
Therefore, within twenty years, neither he nor Tang San and the others could become gods. Without a stroke of luck, or if they made other breakthroughs in their cultivation research, they could at most reach the level of Titled Douluo in terms of Soul Power.
But what about Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue?
They won't stop there!
Perhaps due to the butterfly effect caused by his Transmigrator, Bibi Dong will not let Qian Renxue take action in the future, thus allowing the time to be delayed further.
But then what?
Even if this time is pushed back ten years, Zhou Qing has thirty years. Can he break through to Level 100 without taking the Divine Trial?
In the original story, the Sea God, after reaching level ninety-nine, spent a thousand years conquering the Great Sea and gathering faith to forge his Sea God status and Divine Throne.
Can faith lead to godhood?
This method—
Zhou Qing instinctively rejected it.
The faith of all beings should belong to all beings, not to any particular being. Otherwise, once people become accustomed to the convenience of faith, they will develop a contemptuous attitude towards those who are less powerful than themselves, as if they were ants. Then, this contempt will turn into arrogance, swallowing up their own hearts and turning them into the very thing they hate most.
In Zhou Qing's view, the social system of the Douluo Continent was backward and ignorant, so he initially viewed everything in the world with arrogance.
Simply because he is a civilized person who has witnessed the prosperity of modern times!
However, later in Nuoding City, he witnessed all aspects of life in the small town. Soul Master, commoners, and nobles were mostly clearly separated. Among them, commoners had the hardest time, but they could still find their place in the world.
Wang Sheng's desire to set an example for the other work-study students made Zhou Qing truly understand the meaning of a certain sentence he had heard in his previous life:
Backwardness and ignorance have never been obstacles to survival.
Arrogance is what it is!
So, at that moment, Zhou Qing set aside his arrogance...
But now, having gained some understanding of his true nature, he has rekindled that arrogance:
Survive?
This is easy.
But what he wanted was for people to be able to live with dignity under this sky! Not to be subservient and obsequious to nobles and Soul Master!
If survival is the only goal, then what is the purpose of human beings evolving intelligence?
Otherwise, wouldn't it be easier to manage if the "higher class" only had rich consciousness and emotions, while the common people at the bottom had no wisdom, no thoughts, and no self?
But the truth is that the so-called lower class can still talk and laugh. When they see the misfortune of others, they will sigh and sympathize. When they encounter happy things, they will share them with others and even sing and dance.
Besides the objective factors of the present era that prevent them from accessing more knowledge...
And because their innate Martial Soul quality is extremely poor, they are unable to embark on the path of Soul Master cultivation...
What is the essential difference between ordinary people and nobles and Soul Master?
It just means the power is a bit weak.
If intelligence arises only for the most basic survival, it is too tragic. It is even less than the most ordinary mosquito. At least this kind of creature without intelligence has existed for a much longer time than the history of humans and their ancestors, and even longer than the history of the nearly extinct Dragon Clan on the continent.
Therefore, Zhou Qing plans to take action now, seize every opportunity to gather information about the forces he will be hostile to in the future, and then spread his ideas, recruit talents, and build an armed force... Among these, his ideas must be passed on so that more people know, understand, and agree with them, and take practical action.
He's going to ignite a fire!
Even if his fire is extinguished, as long as his ideas continue to spread across the Douluo Continent, there will always be people who will pick up those sparks and forge ahead one after another!
As for Xiao Wu revealing her identity at the Continental Elite Tournament...
Zhou Qing plans to have a frank discussion with Xiao Wu before participating in the competition.
After all, what he was going to do was to be at odds with the whole world. If she wasn't ready, she'd better hide away as soon as possible!
"Uncle Ning, at nine years old, I'm already quite old enough to go to the Continental Elite Tournament and see the heroes of the world." Zhou Qing's eyes shone like stars at this moment.
However, Ning Fengzhi wasn't buying it and asked, "I want to know the exact reason."
"In Nuoding City, Xiao Lang holds the position but neglects his duties, focusing instead on making grand moves and ignoring the turmoil in Nuoding City, all in order to accumulate the qualifications for his promotion; in Falling Star City, Dales is domineering and arrogant, neglecting to govern the city, only wanting to incite unrest in Nuoding City in order to start a war."
Zhou Qing sighed deeply, "Looking at the small things, the higher-ups in Heaven Dou and Star Luo Empire are all incompetent people who hold positions without doing their jobs. They fight for power and profit, aspiring to be prime ministers and kings. Even if they care about the people, it's just to create a good reputation, but no real benefits come to the people."
"Perhaps in the eyes of those in power, heaven and earth are heartless, and the people have their own destiny. But my Martial Soul is a heart, so I want to fill this heartless world with a heart, and lead the masses of people in the world who have no Soul Power to change their fate."
"That is, to To Establish a Heart for Heaven and Earth, To Establish a Destiny for the People."
Ning Fengzhi repeated the last sentence, his eyes gleaming, but his understanding was quite different from what Zhou Qing thought.
To Establish a Heart for Heaven and Earth is to ordain an emperor for the entire Douluo Continent, one whose reign lasts for millennia, unchanging and enduring.
We need invincible power to suppress the world!
To Establish a Destiny for the People the people, the people, families, and sects of the Douluo Continent should abide by the systems and laws established by the emperor for generations, thereby honestly cultivating the land, engaging in commerce, and developing their businesses.
We need swift and decisive measures! We must restrain human desires!
Looking at Zhou Qing again, he felt that the six-year-old child's eyes were so bright, but his innocent face, filled with a serious and solemn expression, was somewhat out of place...
