For example, there were far too many statues.
For example, people worshiped him too often—so often that it seemed his achievements far surpassed Lord Mi's.
In truth, no matter what Lu Yin had done, from the era of the Nine Frontlines to the present, Lord Mi had been the one publicly leading all of Human Civilization to its peak. As time went on, more and more people stopped believing Lu Yin had ever existed. Lord Mi was the one who had contributed the most to Human Civilization.
So why did Lord Mi go to such lengths to preserve Lu Yin's achievements?
Some of those achievements had even been exaggerated.
The reason lay in this very moment.
In this era, cultivation was rooted in spirit. This force called spirit possessed a spiritual essence. The more cultivators trained with spirit, the stronger its spiritual essence became. And whoever could control more of that essence would become stronger.
It was like turning the entire Cubic Distance into a cultivation ground.
Using oneself to spur on spiritual essence, and the countless living beings of the universe to expand it.
That was how the Six Yao of the current Chaotic Era cultivated.
If Lord Mi wanted to completely control the spirit of the Human Yao Domain, he had to unite all of Human Civilization. The people of the Inherited Ancient Clans were crucial. Without them, the Human Yao Domain would lose more than half its experts. This was especially true at the beginning of this cultivation method, when those people had been the driving force behind Human Civilization.
That was why Lu Yin's statues mattered.
By using Lu Yin's statues to win over the Inherited Ancient Clans, the entire Human Civilization could unite in its cultivation of spirit. Then no one would oppose Lord Mi
