An Inquiry

The Heavenly Emperor had returned, the demonic calamity was gone, and Profound Yellow was restored.

No more Tongtian Tower, no more Myriad Demon Abyss, and no more lords, territories, Hero Troop Types, altered principles of heaven and earth, or world laws. All were restored along with the Profound Yellow Realm.

Though some mourned the past, it could not change the outcome. Universal lordship had been equivalent to universal cultivation of the Heavenly God Earthly Deity Method. Hero Troop Types, experience and prestige, territorial buildings, weapons, and equipment—all these things were backed by precious Heaven and Earth Origin. Even a Great Thousand World could not squander such resources at will.

Previously, when the two realms had collided and the Heavenly Emperor and Devil Ancestor contended upon the Great Dao, there had been no choice but to grit their teeth and spend lavishly.

But now that Profound Yellow had won and the demonic calamity was gone, there was no longer any need for war. If they continued to maintain the Data Laws and lordly wars, then even as a Great Thousand World, Profound Yellow would one day exhaust its stores while sitting idle.

Thus, returning to the proper path was inevitable.

Though people could still cultivate after returning to the proper path, wanting to rapidly and directly raise one's cultivation realm, spells, and divine abilities by "killing monsters for experience" was no longer realistic.

There were no more Tongtian Coins, nor were there any more experience or prestige. The days of one-click upgrades were gone forever. To improve one's cultivation realm, arts, and divine abilities, one could only explore and endure bitter training on one's own.

The restored heaven and earth, and its changed rules, would become an important sieve—sifting through the great waves for gold, selecting the essence, consuming fewer resources
