Chapter 786
"My goodness, what's going on?"
Five million years later in the future, Sylvie stepped out of the car used for her slumber, staring dumbfounded at this entirely different world scene, her face filled with disbelief.
Just like a tribal primitive person arriving in a future super-technological era, even the art style is completely different!
Is this universe still the same as before?
The layout of the All Heavens and Myriads of Realms originally was simply put:
Field Field Field
Field Field Field.
Nowadays, each small field house has gathered together to become towers, palaces, Immortal Mountains, fortresses, arks, with varying heights, standing amongst each other.
Each tower is formed by billions of Crystal Wall Worlds, ruled by a terrifying force.
"It's like the fog-covered medieval city-state civilization... transformed into a modern city with skyscrapers surrounded by smog."
Li Qing felt a sense of amusement, as he pondered thoughtfully.
The Chaos Corridor still exists.
But due to the height of the buildings, the intervals between them have increased substantially.
Narrow chaotic crowded alleys have turned into wide, bustling roads filled with Undying Level pedestrians, teeming with life.
Although the population in this era remains virtually the same as fifty million years ago.
Back then, everyone walked through crowded labyrinthine paths, passing through narrow alleys alone, now with countless paths converged, everyone walks collectively, naturally appearing much more vibrant.
"This era is quite interesting."
Li Qing gazed at a seventy-thousand-story building in the distance, shaped like an Ancient Immortal Ship, with sails billowing like waves rolling, majestic and spectacular, clearly one of the landmark buildings of this modern urban skyline.
Written on it are the words "Cloud Sail Realm," and this height truly shows strength, catching eyes amidst a forest of skyscrapers, but for those who don't know, they might mistake it for a hotel's signage.
The Cosmos... seems to have entered a modern urban structure.
Moreover, the layout has optimized, showing stratification.
Thirty-three floors.
Each floor is a large urban plane, with buildings varying in height, and several skyscrapers are particularly striking.
"It seems the universe's small houses have been refined and remodeled by them."
Li Qing couldn't help but feel sentimental, realizing that now there is no need for him to guide the waves of the universe, as they surge forth and evolve into a notably different appearance.
And in an instant, Li Qing realized that this layout is an inevitable trend of the era.
Because the reincarnation was built in the previous era.
Demon Cultivators and the Righteous started continuously fighting, forming alliances, creating factions, these shapes of Ten Thousand Realms palaces and All Heavens fortresses were evidently easier to defend.
When someone moved mountains and filled seas, constructing Crystal Wall Worlds into the first skyscraper, others inevitably recognized its advantages, following suit.
This is the perfect model for warfare.
Thus, the era of tribal city-states transitioned into the era of skyscraper palaces.
"The environment of the Crystal Wall has developed well, so what about the other line of Godhead? Who won the Godhead type dispute of the past?"
Sylvie suddenly recalled the question before her slumber, curious as they drove around, stopping and moving.
This time, it truly wasn't wandering through narrow labyrinths but driving into a modern city, bringing a feeling of bizarre wonder.
And this era is extremely prosperous, vehicles similar to Li Qing's are all over the place, making their car not so conspicuous anymore.
"Ah, you know your stuff! Is it the initial Ghost Car model?" A golden Giant Dragon stepping on clouds approached with a palace on its back, an elder with an Immortal aura stood atop, suddenly speaking.
"What initial Ghost Car?" The neighboring Sylph lowered the window, curiously poking her head out to ask.
"Hehe, where are you heading, fellow Daoist?" This elder, kind-hearted and very talkative, happened to be going to a domain controlled by a certain tradition, coincidentally, and chatted with them along the way.
"Wherever you're heading is where we're going, we just woke up, so we're touring the world, chatting with interesting souls we meet." Sylvie responded quickly.
"Ahahahaha!" This old man felt delighted, implying they find him interesting.
In the conversation, Li Qing and others understood what he meant.
Transport wasn't widespread in the previous era because at the time, everyone was busy with reincarnation, but now in this skyscraper era, it has become prevalent.
However, many were influenced by the urban legends of the initial "Ghost Car", creating various styles, and Li Qing's model is the original classic, which led to the question from the person in front.
Li Qing found it interesting, realizing his influence on the aesthetics of future generations.
He had pushed the era forward many times, establishing various systems, doctrines, and institutions, but influencing aesthetics, a personal preference, was the first time.
The emergence of transportation was inevitable.
The era fifty million years ago was called the barbarous era, also known as the labyrinth era.
Everywhere were labyrinths with a uniform field layout, shrouded in fog, lacking landmark buildings, even containing various dead ends with numerous twists and turns.
This led most journeying All Heavens powerhouses to lose their way, for the average person heading to reincarnation had to endure endless detours, facing obstacles akin to the trials of eighty-one hardships before reaching reincarnation.
But most perished on the way.
As the era progressed, a major tradition situated in the east called its journey to reincarnation "heading to Western Heaven," often ending with nine deaths and one life, over time, going to Western Heaven was known as going to one's death, as local sayings slowly spread throughout the realms, "You aren't going to Western Heaven," "You die in Western Heaven." These phrases to curse others to die were widely used.
As for drawing maps?
Reducing the suffering of future ascenders heading to All Heavens?
Complete nonsense!
Some sages of various realms attempted to bring prosperity for future ascenders, but shady schemers along the route regularly altered map layouts, deliberately targeting travelers, blocking and attacking them, resulting in everyone being cautious as they passed each major realm, fearing assassination.
Crossing the All Heavens to enter reincarnation and live a second life was truly arduous!
In that era, people were reluctant to travel far, but now the labyrinth era is over, entering the palace era fifty million years later.
Palaces stood towering, alleys merged into roads, landmark buildings showcased the capabilities of each faction of All Heavens, preventing people from losing their way.
In the network of roads, various vehicles naturally emerged.
Sylvie and Sylph listened, nodding along the way, this universe is indeed fraught with hardship, evolving into this is built upon countless mismatches and lessons, continual exploration brought forth today's thriving era.
As for those so-called tall buildings, while they're called buildings, in reality, their shapes vary, some is an Immortal Mountain, some is a palace, some is a pavilion.
Li Qing listened and reflected silently, nodding: "This era is great, even the lighting has improved... with these gaps widening, sun, moon, and star light can more easily shine in, making the universe brighter, facilitating illumination across the Cosmos."
