Chapter 936: Inferring The Truth
As soon as these words were spoken.
All the fellow disciples had a sudden realization.
"Sister, what do you mean?"
"Does the Master want to create a new civilization, a new world?"
"Exactly, that's right."
Su Yunyun said firmly.
"But the books and jade slips in the Heaven and Earth Sect's library don't just describe one world."
Fang Zaowu said, "If you combine them, there are many, many worlds. Some are like our Cloud Star, with various cultivators. In some worlds, there are only low-level martial artists, and in others, they use ninjutsu..."
"Does the Master want to create so many worlds?"
"Of course not."
Su Yun shook her head. She was well aware that the books in the library recorded many different worlds, but the Master certainly couldn't want to create so many worlds.
"Then why do the books describe so many worlds?" someone asked.
"That's what we need to figure out—what was the Master's purpose in writing these books," Su Yunyun said.
"Besides helping us disciples find our own paths, perhaps the Master also used these writings to filter or select a relatively perfect world and civilization?"
Upon hearing this, the disciples fell into deep thought.
Then they all nodded, feeling that it made sense.
"So, according to what you're saying, Sister, among the countless worlds described in the library's books and jade slips, there must be only one that the Master desires, and only one that is related to the Master's grand plan," Shen Nong asked. "But how do we distinguish which world and civilization the Master wants among so many?"
"Good question."
Su Yunyun said, "Let's carefully recall and screen through them."
"Everyone has read many books in the library, so you probably know that although the worlds depicted are fascinating, many of them are somewhat incomplete."
"Some lack culture, with only endless fighting."
"Some lack heritage and tradition, both in terms of humanity and geography."
"There are even some worlds that the Master referred to as 'incomplete' or 'abandoned'—these are definitely not what the Master wants."
"Although some worlds are very well-developed, upon closer inspection, you'll find that apart from having different cultivation systems, they aren't much different from our current world. So, the Master surely wouldn't want to create a world that's too similar."
"In short, we can be certain that the Master wants a world with culture, heritage, depth, and one that is distinctly different from our current world."
"Everyone, think back. Among the books and jade slips the Master has written, which world appears most frequently and aligns with the criteria I just mentioned?"
Su Yunyun's words ignited everyone's memories.
Almost in unison, the disciples exclaimed, "The urban world!"
"Exactly, the urban world!"
Su Yunyun smiled and said, "This urban world appears most frequently in the Master's writings."
"Similarly, it has appeared many times in the jade slip images."
"Although the jade slip images only show a glimpse, it's clear that it's far more prosperous than our Cloud Star—full of dazzling lights and bustling streets."
"Moreover, according to the Master's writings, the urban world is the most complete in terms of civilization, heritage, and culture. It's vastly different from our current Cloud Star, being a brand-new technological world."
"Although the people in that world also have good and evil, there is a well-established order and laws to constrain behavior. While no one cultivates, most people live harmoniously and peacefully."
As Su Yunyun spoke, she couldn't help but feel a sense of longing.
The disciples were also amazed.
The more they thought about it, the more they felt Su Yunyun's reasoning made sense.
Chi Yitong chimed in, "Given the Master's nature of returning to simplicity and his willingness to live as an ordinary person, this is probably spot on."
"Sister, you're truly remarkable."
"To deduce the truth from so many clues—you're really brilliant."
"Yes, step by step, unraveling the mystery and piecing together the truth. Sister, you have the sharpest mind."
"Everyone, there's no need to flatter me like this."
Su Yunyun waved her hand and said, "Besides, we should have thought of this earlier."
"Sister, you're being modest. Now that we know the Master's intentions, shouldn't we act quickly?"
Someone said anxiously.
"Not so fast."
Su Yunyun gestured for calm. "This is a massive undertaking, not something that can be done overnight."
"Moreover, we don't have the ability to create a world. We can only designate an area and gradually develop it according to the Master's vision."
"Also, with just the few dozen of us, it's not enough. We need more people to join."
"Don't the Heaven and Earth Sect, Pingjiang City, and Shadow Island have many people?"
At this point, Chi Yitong said, "These people have all received the Master's grace. They must be thinking of ways to repay him. If we take action, they will surely respond."
"Exactly, that's what I was thinking."
Su Yunyun smiled. "Some of them understand the Master even better than we do. With their help, I believe we can fully realize the Master's vision and gradually build this urban world."
After hearing Su Yunyun's words, the disciples were all eager to get started.
"Time is of the essence. Let's head back to Shadow Island immediately and start preparing."
"Also, notify the other disciples who haven't arrived yet and tell them to come quickly."
"Let's set off right away."
With Su Yunyun's command, everyone boarded the spirit boat created by Fang Zaowu. A streak of light trailed across the sky as they sped toward the Nine Realms Shadow Island...
