1016 Ode to The World

"I have dedicated this ode to our beautiful homeland. Please, enjoy."

Xu s.h.i.+'s angelic voice reverberated throughout the world, followed by the sound of the guqin.

The sound was slow and peaceful initially, but things immediately changed after she finished speaking. The music created a powerful illusion for anyone listening.

As such, all sentient beings saw a story, no, they experienced the evolution of history. They saw the world in its early stages, full of darkness, chaos, and emptiness. After years of development and creation, the first life forms appeared.

These beings were mighty and n.o.ble. Born immortal, they roamed the world without a care.

Despite their mighty strength, they were a peaceful group who spent their time contemplating the laws of Heaven and Earth.

Although their society was highly hierarchical, they got along well and rarely fought on a large scale.

Everything was proceeding smoothly until a new race appeared-the human race. It was a weak and insignificant race with no powers and a short lifespan. But their appearance changed everything because such a tiny race was destined to be the protagonist of the world.

After the birth of the human race, the music showed their struggle to survive the world back then. The citizens of the Myriad Emperor World saw how their ancestors first created flame, the first time they hunted in the wild or the sea, the first time they made clothes, the first time someone farmed, the first time they discovered the properties of herbs, the first time words were created and recorded - Xu s.h.i.+'s music showed them a tale of man against nature, and the protagonist was their ancestor.

Anyone listening could feel the terrible environment of ancient times; they could feel the human race's ignorance but desire for knowledge and innovation, they saw how much their ancestors sacrificed to establish a human society and civilization. And having to experience all these things through a song was a sublimating experience to the soul.

But things were not over; on the contrary, it was just the beginning. The song changed tempo and displayed the brutality of the ancient. The overlords at that time would not allow humans to rise. They immediately began a ma.s.sacre with the sole purpose of eradicating the human race from the world.

The human race only survived because a few of these creatures became s.a.d.i.s.tic after experiencing their first act of slaughter. So, they chose to secretly enslave large groups of humans for their own cruel amus.e.m.e.nt. Of course, a few kind individuals among them also saved people because they disagreed with such cruel actions.

That period was a dark time for the human race.

However, they survived and never gave up hope.

The Innate Demon G.o.ds' action did not break their spirit but awakened a collective consciousness among them. They now all had one goal-to break the shackles of slavery and rise to the top of this world.

The human race spent hundreds of thousands of years in that dark age, maybe even millions. But that did not matter, their desire and ambitions did not waver. Even their short lives did not stop them. Every tribe would pa.s.s on the idea of their predecessors to their young, ensuring the initial flame of rebellion remained even after countless millennia.

Then, the human race's opportunity arose-a young man from the w.a.n.g Tribe studied these creatures and created a cultivation system for the human race. He spread his work to the scattered tribes, telling them to buy their time and wait for the correct time.

The music immediately showed what the correct time was. On top of a mountain, a young man waited as something descended from the sky before him-a Heaven Will. He absorbed it, proved the Dao, and officially became the first Great Emperor of the world.

The young man then took on the responsibility of leading the human race. The early stages were still dark and full of tragedy. After all, he was the only one fighting with essentially the entire world.

However, with his methodical and careful plans, unwavering willpower, and support from a few other talents, he held on long enough for the human race to grow.

Xu s.h.i.+'s music then showed everyone an era of prosperity where many Emperors roamed the world. Sadly, such an era was far from peaceful.

The confrontation between humans and the former overlord soon spread throughout the entire lower dimension. The music did not show much of the war, but the scenes it showed people were enough to show how cruel and devastating it was.

And then afterward was soon experienced by everybody. The human race was now the world's master, but their civilization was no more and had to start over. That time period was also turbulent as power was held in the hands of a few individuals.

Meanwhile, the overall strength of the world was at an all-time low. Luckily, another hero with the name w.a.n.g showed up and pushed the development of the world forward. The Origin Emperor spread the Dao to the world, suppressed the people in power to give the world another chance, and made the immortals of this world sign the Immortal-Avenue Pact, limiting their influence or intervention in the world.

After the Origin Emperor, the world experienced another era of prosperity. The Sword Dao officially became the supreme Dao of attack, and other types of ancestor-like characters appeared, finally completing the Origin Cultivation System.

Afterward, the human race suffered another catastrophe in the shape of the Golden Ape.

Luckily, they bent together and survived.

The next era was a time when human power led to their demise. The rise of Buddhism and the use of incense showed how cruel humans could be after being the dominant race of the world and having no compet.i.tors. Many people who knew the history were surprised that Xu s.h.i.+ did not hide this part.

The Buddhist monks and other Emperor Lineages did everything possible to acquire Incense and accelerate the cultivation speed of their people.

Then, the final result was retribution at the hand of another human race's hero-the Absolute Beginning Emperor.

The music showed the next era, and it could be strongly argued that it was harsher than ancient times. There were many kind and honorable Innate Demon G.o.ds, but the devil race had no such individuals. Cruelty was their innate nature and the way for them to acquire strength. So, their treatment of the human race or any creature in the Myriad Emperor World was abhorrent.

Luckily, a lonely woman rose up and ended that time of cruelty; she was truly an unparalleled Emperor, unlike anything the world had ever seen.

The time after her disappearance was also a terrible time for the world. People were afraid and thus became extremely conservative as a means of protection. Adding to the fact that the world was recovering, the cultivation world entered a long period of stagnation and regression.

It was only thousands of generations that another young talent appeared; he spread the idea of education to all. This new philosophy brought a new vitality to the Myriad Emperor World and could be argued to save it from a fate of immense decline.

The next era was peaceful and full of life until one of the chosen human heroes turned on his people. The world suffered another catastrophe while dealing with these madmen, and a long time was needed to recuperate. The era after his disappearance was dull and mediocre, but luckily, that era gave birth to the Heavenly Emperor.

The song ended with all the achievements of the Heavenly Emperor and how the world has changed since then. Once the music stopped playing, there was an eerie silence worldwide as people were still fascinated by the lingering sound of the guqin.

Luckily, the appearance of the Heavenly Dao Eye woke these people up. A small golden orb descended from the sky into the Academy.

Heavenly Court:

w.a.n.g Wei opened his eyes, his eyes also still lingering on that song. It was truly a sublimation of the soul to experience the history of the human's rise from its barbaric age to the present.

He even felt the speed of his healing was slightly accelerated.

He looked in the distance as Heavenly Dao awarded Xu s.h.i.+ and said weirdly: "Did she just create a national anthem for the Myriad Emperor World?"

"It seems so."

"Now I'm a little jealous and angry I didn't think of that."

"You can't have all the good ideas for merit."

"True." He was not a musician, so such a thought never indeed pa.s.sed his mind. "The song should have other benefits. What are they?"

"Let's see," uttered the clone. "It's a unique Source Technique that grants her a 2% Grand Dao Boost.

3-4% if she plays it while in the Myriad Emperor World or represents it in some capacity. Finally, it can give a minimum of 5% boost if she is in the act of protecting the world from some catastrophe."

"A minimum of 5%?" muttered w.a.n.g Wei. "Can only she use it?"

"Before she ascends, yes. And even then, the Academy has to give permission."

w.a.n.g Wei sighed, "The Academy people were truly lucky they had someone like Xu s.h.i.+ to replace Lin Fan. I doubt he could do as good of a job as her."

The destiny of creating the world's national anthem would bless them and even make up for losing the Spirit of the Epoch.

"Emperor Kong might be an individual born with a unique destiny like your w.a.n.g Clang," commented the clone.

"Maybe, but even if he is, he still has a long way to go to reach our level."
