Chapter 750: More Than Ten Thousand Years Later
Translator: CKtalon
These people actually managed to conquer the land. What Meng Chuan really wanted to paint was this story of land conquest.
In the early days, the human race was nothing to speak of when it came to conflicts between species.
When it came to this generation of humans, they formed a spirit of conquest due to the environment and other factors. With just 15 people, they relied on their two legs and passed on the torch for generations! They actually traveled across the land and became the ruler of the entire continent.
In that primitive era, this was an unimaginable miracle.
After all, there were many ferocious beasts with special bloodlines during that barbaric period. The natural environment was much worse than it was now. The primitive mountain ranges, forests, poisonous bugs, miasma, and ferocious beasts… Leaving a safe home and heading to an unfamiliar place meant danger at every turn. Many people would die, and very few people could find a new home.
However, the spirit of conquest in their bones made this generation constantly move forward. When their parents died, they had children to continue the quest. When their children died, they had grandchildren.
It was a generational relay.
After 3,000 years, they traveled across the continent and conquered it.
Meng Chuan could sense his ancestors’ spirit of conquest. He was shocked and proud of his ancestors.
120 million years ago, primitive humans began to appear. The various species fought for supremacy… As these 15 people drifted out to sea 30 million years ago, humanity became the true owner of this inhabited world. Meng Chuan looked at the long painting in front of him.
Even though danger was everywhere during that period, humans only had 20 to 30 years of lifespan on average.
Even though they didn’t have a complete cultivation system back then, with only incomplete cultivation formulas—
Even though they were few and weak back then—
But just by relying on this—20 to 30 years of lifespan on average and weak strength—to complete an unbelievable miracle, conquering the entire continent. Meng Chuan had viewed history and knew very well how difficult it was to conquer the continent during that period.
They fought with the environment and other species. Many people died on this path, and the living continued advancing.
Meng Chuan could sense the tenacity of life rushing toward him.
After becoming a Godfiend and a Tribulation Eminence, Meng Chuan took care of the weak. But he also felt that mortals were ultimately very weak even though they were the foundation. A species relied on the strong to stand strong.
However, Meng Chuan saw the tenacity of life through this generational relay—even if they were mortals!
If one generation wasn’t enough, they would take ten generations or even a hundred generations. They could still accomplish things that even Godfiends couldn’t—even if they were mortals!
With the torch passed on for generations, a cultivation system was gradually formed!
As long as one persisted in one direction, they could create unimaginable achievements. This was the source of humanity’s rise.
For him to have his current accomplishments, he was similarly standing on the foundation established by his predecessors. He was only a part of the ‘generational relay.’
“A species,” muttered Meng Chuan. “What’s needed is such tenacity. Only with such tenacity can we overcome all difficulties; only then will we become stronger. Cultivators also need such tenacity. Only with such tenacity can one’s mind become even more tenacious and resist the tempering of time.”
Meng Chuan wrote five words on the rightmost end of the long painting—Tenacity of Life.
Meng Chuan personally painted the human ancestors of that era. Everything was vivid and lifelike. This also caused Meng Chuan’s mind to experience catharsis.
Even my willpower has been affected. It has improved greatly. Meng Chuan sighed.
His willpower had been tempered too many times. He had even created a Purple mystic technique after listening to an Eternal’s lecture. After reaching this realm, it became harder and harder for him to improve.
Although the painting—Tenacity of Life—had only given him a limited boost, the help a new Purple mystic technique gave to Meng Chuan might not be comparable to the painting.
The higher one’s cultivation went, the harder it would be to improve. This painting had already provided a lot of help.
…
In the following days, Meng Chuan accompanied his wife and continued watching Archean Eon Realm’s history.
During this process, Meng Chuan drew nine epic paintings of Archean Eon Realm’s humans. They included Tenacity of Life, Continuation of Bloodlines, Nation, Home, Culture… He also drew 109 historical figures of Archean Eon Realm.
Meng Chuan had been influenced by Archean Eon Realm’s culture since he was young. When he watched Archean Eon Realm’s history—especially the source of the culture he had been exposed to—he naturally resonated with it. These historical sources greatly touched Meng Chuan.
The nine epic paintings of the human species and the 109 paintings of the historical figures included almost all the core and most dazzling figures in Archean Eon Realm’s history. They also completely reconstructed Meng Chuan’s knowledge of culture. With his understanding perfected, his wisdom naturally improved. His willpower was naturally boosted as well.
During this process, Meng Chuan completely fused the spacetime law with his Essence Soul formulation. He raised the Essence Soul formulation, Painting World, to the Eighth Tribulation realm.
However…
Meng Chuan’s willpower was still unable to withstand the spacetime law.
As the saying goes—the larger one’s heart is, the larger the world is. Meng Chuan’s willpower was clearly unable to contain all of spacetime.
…
Time passed.
Another 500 years passed in Archean Eon Realm. Since his main Essence Soul Origins was cultivating on Dry Origin Mountain, more than 16,000 years had passed since Meng Chuan began cultivating.
Over the past 16,000 years, Meng Chuan had focused on cultivation.
In the later stages of cultivation, wisdom determined one’s willpower.
If one reached omniscience, their willpower would be eternal. This was the case for Eternal existences.
With the spacetime law as the foundation, Meng Chuan deduced and comprehended one Origins law after another.
Laws were the secrets of the world’s operations. The more laws one grasped, the closer one was to omniscience. Fiend Mountain’s owner, Dragon Ancestor, and company continued to advance on this path. What Meng Chuan was doing now was what every half-step Eighth Tribulation Eminence would do—to comprehend the ten Origins laws of his home universe.
Apart from the Chaos Hole law and the Heaven Splitting law, Meng Chuan had also comprehended eight other Origins laws—Karma law, Matter law, Immeasurable law, World law, Nirvana law, Origin law, Chaos law, and Samsara law.
He had completely grasped the ten Origins laws. In front of Meng Chuan, the secrets that everything in his homeworld had to offer decreased. His confusion decreased, and his Essence Soul formulation became more perfect.
His willpower naturally improved.
In the past 16,000 years, Meng Chuan had killed three more peak Seventh Tribulation Chaos creatures on Dry Origin Mountain.
After many cultivation accumulations, he had also created knowledge that strengthened him.
He accumulated more and more insights, but his willpower failed to reach the Essence Soul Eighth Tribulation realm’s threshold.
Meng Chuan wasn’t in a hurry.
In the entire River of Spacetime, how many people in history had willpower that could withstand spacetime? This path was destined to be extremely difficult.
A Seventh Tribulation Eminence had nearly 200,000 years of lifespan. Only 33,000 years had passed. What was there to be anxious about? Compared to his ancestors—who had used their lives to conquer new homes for themselves—what was this tiny obstacle he encountered?
