Retracing the Human Path Order, Contemplating the Livelihood of Antiquity

The barrier collapsed, and the Human Path Order was swept away. The Divine Ability of the young god and the contradictory methods of the youth god were instantly routed, but the two gods did not show the slightest worry.

As the long-haired man finished speaking, he raised his hand and pointed a finger. A divine power surged from his fingertip, condensed, crystalline, silent, and glowing with an orange light, like a long arrow.

The divine power was mixed with many thoughts, but it was different from the Incense Faith. As soon as it appeared, it caused the Eastern Capital the Eastern Capital to darken and ripple.

Then, the surging Human Path Order collided, came into contact with, and became entangled with this extremely concentrated divine power.

The next moment, the surging Order suddenly stopped, and a glimmer of divine power flashed within, disappearing in an instant like lightning, weaving through the void.

"Oh? It's getting dark, and there was a flash of lightning. Looks like it's going to rain."

In the city, many people stopped in their tracks, looked up at the sky, and chatted amongst themselves, not noticing anything different; everything seemed normal.

However, many cultivators and extraordinary individuals perceived it differently.

"Someone is actually defying Human Path Order!"

Similar surprises were not only felt by the cultivators, but also by many gentlemen in the Literary Pavilion. The difference was that, as the parties involved, their consciousness was filled with various strange phenomena!

"Where did this deity come from, daring to use divine power to wedge itself into the Human Path Order!"

"Even if it's just the Order a single city, it's still connected to the heavens and the earth; how could it be so easily dismantled?"

"The gods are illusory; they are merely reflections of the human heart. Human Path Order governs the human heart, so how can it be influenced?"

Several Confucian scholars who participated in the evaluation were somewhat surprised by this turn of events.

Han Yi, Junior Chen, Xu Shi, and the others frowned and remained silent, channeling their Literary Thought and manipulating the Force of Order to confront the divine power of the long-haired deity.

As time went on, others realized that things had changed slightly.

At the point of battle, the Human Path Order, which was originally dominant, evolved into human principles, summarized the mysteries of the world, and exuded an aura that guided Human Path forward. This suppressed the solid, slender divine power.

However, that divine power did not dissipate in the end; instead, it delayed and stagnated the surging Human Path Order in mid-air.

"How could the power of a single deity be able to delay the Order of heaven and earth and the Human Path for so long? It seems he still has power to spare!"

Pang Chu closed his eyes to sense the situation and frowned.

At the same time, by fortuitous opportunity, Qiu Yan, whose thoughts were hidden among the people's Literary Thought, also had the same doubts. Unlike many Confucian scholars who studied the way of Human Path, Qiu Yan had a divine body and a deep understanding of divine power and the Divine Path. Therefore, while comprehending the Human Path Order, he also noticed the strangeness of that divine power.

"This divine power is extremely condensed, perfectly integrated, without the slightest leakage, making it difficult to determine its Divine Office. However, once this divine power is activated and connected to the outside world, it emits a faint aura, revealing a hint of mystery. Upon closer examination, it is not difficult to discover that this divine power seems to be related to the wishes of all people..."

On the battlefield, the long-haired man sitting in the chair exhaled, then shook his head and laughed, "The gods of today only know the desires of the people, but not the mysteries of heaven and earth. They don't know that the People's Wishes are merely byproducts of divine might. They have put the cart before the horse, which is truly a pity."

Amidst laughter, he flicked his fingertips, a simple and unassuming gesture that seemed to ignite a fuse, causing the surging Force of Order not far away to vibrate.

The shockwave immediately stirred up a gale, affecting the entire Eastern Capital, just as some ordinary people had said, "Overcast skies and windy conditions."

The three deities, who were so close at hand, were the first to be affected.

The long-haired deity and his chair were blown away and tumbled in the air. The two gods beside the chair tried to steady themselves, but they couldn't, and were also thrown away by the aftershocks of the gale.

In an instant, the three deities were blown apart.

This wind, which might only manifest as airflow below the city, here contains Order and majesty that even gods would find difficult to resist; a single gust of wind would shake their Divine Body.

After flying several dozen feet, the three deities finally regained control of their bodies, looking extremely disheveled. They managed to stabilize themselves, but by then they were already far from the previous battlefield.

Immediately following, a hearty laugh rang out; it was the long-haired man laughing.

After laughing for a while, the long-haired man finally quieted down and shook his head, saying, "Indeed, even mortals are not to be underestimated. After sleeping for so long, the world is no longer the same as before. If this Force of Order had not stopped halfway but had erupted and affected my Divine Body, I would have died with my current Divine Grade level. You and I, the three gods, are now dancing on the edge of a knife. However, it is precisely because of this that our revival is meaningful."

As they spoke, the remaining two gods had already broken free from the impact of the gale and flew over to guard the seats on either side.

On the other side, the Force of Order that erupted with powerful gales were undergoing unpredictable changes—

Human Path Order, inherently rooted in the evolution of humankind, has developed over millions of years through the efforts of countless people, encompassing culture, technology, morality, law, and ethnicity...

All these things come together to form this whole.

As the long-haired man flicked his finger, the extremely concentrated divine power exploded, releasing a strange force, half violent and half obscure, causing the information contained within the Order to change rapidly.

The raging divine power manifests as lightning and thunder, tsunamis and earthquakes, raging storms and torrential rains, Heavenly Fire and floods... manifesting natural disasters and disrupting the Order evolution of humankind!

The power of the gods is unpredictable, and natural disasters were one of the direct factors that spurred the High Antiquity people's awe of the gods. This manifestation immediately shook the humanistic forces within the Force of Order.

"Natural disasters inspire fear, and this god certainly understands the human heart."

The scholars of the Literary Pavilion felt the same way, and with a change of mind, they used their doctrines to explain the reasons, and a busy scene emerged from the Force of Order, which was orderly and well-organized.

The Human Path Order, refined and honed over thousands of years, is no longer as loose as High Antiquity. It has become organized and can mitigate the disasters that natural calamities bring to Human Path to a certain extent.

However, it would be one thing if it were just violent divine power, but there is also an obscure meaning mixed in with it.

This obscure divine power was quite mysterious. Once it erupted, it expanded rapidly without regard for anything else, like ink dripping into water, instantly spreading throughout the Force of Order. Subsequently, it even caused some of the Force of Order to degenerate!

It's like time has reversed, and Human Path is regressing from the present to the ancient Human Path!

Of course, the main body of Order that pervades the world will not degenerate due to a little divine power. However, Eastern Capital is gathered in the Eastern Capital at the moment is Order Manifestation brought together by the Confucian scholars through their Literary Thought. It is the manifestation of conceptual Order through Human Path Literary Thought, thus leaving a trace. Therefore, what has degenerated is only a part of it.

But by observing a part of a leopard, one can understand the whole; even if it is only a part of the conceptual Order, one can still glimpse the core truth through that part!

"This deity seeks to reclaim the Order! Through a fragment of Order's avatar, it aims to explore the true meaning of Order!"

In an instant, the scholars understood the reason behind it and the other party's intentions.

"What grand ambition! What is the origin of this deity? How could it possess such methods! First, it uses natural disasters to stimulate the instinct for Order, then it travels back in time to trace the source. Could it be that this deity wants to analyze the Human Path Order and exploit it?"

They were surprised, but for the moment they could not stop it, because the changes in the heavenly calamity had taken up their energy, and they did not understand these changes in divine power, so they did not know where to start.

However, given some time to analyze and sort things out, they too can decipher the mystery of divine power.

This exchange was always one of two.

"Unfortunately, you won't have that chance." The long-haired man chuckled, but the smile immediately froze on his face!

Then, within the Force of Order, a unique Literary Thought emerged. Compared to the other Literary Thought, this Literary Thought was weak and thin, and was even overlooked by the long-haired man. But at this very moment, this Literary Thought appeared, like a sharp sword blade striking the vital spot of the obscure divine power!

Human Path Order was on the verge of reverting to ancient times, entering an era where humans ate raw meat and drank blood, but it came to an abrupt end.

That faint Literary Thought, through contemplation and visualization, constructed a scene from the three ancient dynasties, reasonably deduced and reenacted the human society of that time, and stabilized the degenerated Human Path!

Then, the light and shadow shifted, and scene after scene appeared—

The tribespeople, who originally only knew how to spearfish, learned to weave fishing nets;

The tribespeople, who could originally only capture Heavenly Fire, learned to use flint;

The tribespeople, who originally only dared to wield bone clubs, learned to make tools;

The tribespeople, who originally only knew how to gather wild fruits, learned to cultivate crops;

These seemingly simple events have gradually freed humanity from ignorance, helped us understand the principles, and enabled us to explore many unknowns. We no longer simply attribute natural disasters to divine power or spirits, but instead began to ponder their underlying meaning.

This contemplation and deduction is like traversing the Historical River spanning millions of years, allowing people to witness and experience firsthand the ancient times. Not only was the obscure divine power suppressed, but the other half of the violent divine power was also affected. Human Path progress offset the fear of divine might, thus showing signs of its dissipation—this is also why the amount of divine power itself was not large, making it difficult to sustain.

"Unbelievable! Unbelievable! The most inconspicuous Wen Literary Thought among this group could do something like this! Interesting! Interesting!"

The long-haired man gave the surging Order a deep look, then sighed with a smile, "Let's go. In all these years of revival, I've only managed to condense that one wisp of divine power. I had hoped to use this opportunity to investigate the true nature of Human Path, but I've failed at the last hurdle. If I stay any longer, things will get bad once the Force of Order bursts forth. I won't have the strength to fight it."

"What a pity..." The young deity glanced at the Eastern Capital, his face showing regret.

The young deity laughed and said, "What's there to regret? The Heavenly Court hasn't fully taken control of this continent; there will be plenty of opportunities to explore the ways of Human Path..."

As they spoke, the three deities unleashed their Divine Body and shattered their Divine Sense, breaking free from the shroud of Order and vanishing into the Void.

At the same time, the scholars in the Literary Pavilion were taken aback.

"How is it that Qiu Yan can visualize the scenes of the High Antiquity Three Dynasties?"
