Chapter 826: – The God of Shadows’ Attempt

In Chen Heng’s opinion, not only would the priests hinder society’s development, but the extraordinary beings also do the same. Any class that could not be replaced would be the same.

The reason was not difficult to understand. As time passed, traditional classes would be replaced. And the difficulty of replacing different social classes was different.

Compared to the traditional social class, the upper class, made up of extraordinary beings, was obviously more difficult to overthrow and replace.

Therefore, as time passed, everything remained the same. It was not a coincidence that the dragon slayer became the evil dragon, but a set rule.

And Chen Heng’s approach to this was simple. Since the extraordinary being class was powerful, increasing the population of extraordinary beings would be good.

In the traditional world, extraordinary beings were difficult to overthrow because a limited number of extraordinary beings appeared in the world.

Thus, after these extraordinary beings entered the upper level, the commoners at the bottom level could not resist them. And Chen Heng’s method was to think of ways to increase the number of extraordinary beings.

When the number of extraordinary beings grows, there will inevitably be a conflict between the extraordinary beings. In any normal society, the number of people at the upper level was limited. It was impossible to accommodate everyone without limits.

In a normal world of extraordinary beings, because the number of extraordinary beings was limited, it was enough to accommodate them at the upper level, thus leading to conflicts with the people at the bottom level.

However, when the number of extraordinary beings continued to increase, the society at the upper level could no longer accommodate all of them. A considerable number of extraordinary beings would naturally oppose them, thus bringing new changes.

Perhaps the driving force of these extraordinary beings’ changes was only to replace the status of others and not to represent the needs of the people at the bottom level.

However, just like the leaders of commoners’ revolt were often not commoners, there would inevitably be an impact on the original order in the process of their revolution. This would ultimately lead to a shuffle of the social order.

In this process, contradictions were resolved, and changes had already occurred. It might seem like no changes, but society has gradually transformed.

Of course, to create a sufficient number of extraordinary beings was a very difficult thing in itself. However, Chen Heng’s previous wave of operations had laid a sufficient foundation for this matter.

A normal world would usually only have a few kinds of Extraordinary Systems. These Extraordinary Systems would compete with each other, and in the end, the most outstanding Extraordinary System would suppress or even destroy the rest of the systems.

However, in the Primogenitor World, Chen Heng introduced more than ten types of Extraordinary Systems in one go. These types of Extraordinary Systems were completely different, but they could intersect completely.

The term ‘intersect’ means the use of different talents. A person with the talent of a mage might not have the talent of a knight. On the contrary, a person with the talent of a knight might not have the talent of a mage.

Under such circumstances, there would naturally be different choices. In theory, the upper limit of each system was high enough to reach at least the Fourth Rank.

With so many different systems intersecting, it was theoretically impossible to appear in a normal world. But because of Chen Heng’s interference, this result was artificially created.

The other interference by Chen Heng was the dissemination of knowledge. Thousands of years ago, Chen Heng directly passed on all the knowledge to all the living beings in the world.

Regardless of status, as long as you had the appropriate qualifications, you could have the corresponding inheritance. Under such circumstances, this world’s extraordinary knowledge had flooded to a certain extent.

In many worlds, these things should have been monopolized and controlled. At the very least, they couldn’t be so easily obtained by others. But in this world, these things could be obtained without much effort.

Other than some special knowledge created by individuals that could only be grasped by a few people, most extraordinary beings were equal at the beginning stage.

At least, that was the case in terms of knowledge. This also resulted in many talented individuals emerging and becoming new extraordinary beings.

Without these two prerequisites, the atmosphere of the entire Primogenitor World might be much stronger than the Cardo Empire, but not by much.

The God of Shadows was lost in thought. After observing for a long time, he also had his thoughts.

Looking at Chen Heng, he voiced his thoughts, wanting to carry out his trial. Chen Heng had an encouraging attitude towards this.

“If you want to try, then just do it.”

Chen Heng smiled and said, “No matter what, it’s always good to try something new.

“Even if you fail, you can still gain enough experience from each failure, right?”

The God of Shadows nodded and began his attempt. He wanted to try to change the situation in the Cardo Empire and free the empire from this state. So, he quickly began to move.

Time slowly passed. At a certain point, the Cardo Empire priests were horrified to discover that their lifespans were running out.

The priests of the past generation were fine, but when it came to the new generation of priests, many were horrified to discover that their lifespans did not seem to have increased.

Originally, because these priests had been bathing in divine power for a long time, their bodies had undergone many transformations. As a result, they became extraordinary beings, and their lifespans were also very long.

But now, under the actions of the God of Shadows, many of the priests were horrified to discover that their lifespans had not increased because of the increase in the priests’ levels. They were still like ordinary mortals. They still had power, but they no longer had the lifespans of the past.

When the first generation of priests slowly passed away, the rate at which the entire priestly class was being renewed increased quite a bit.

Unless one broke through to the Fourth Rank and awakened their original true spirit, the current priests’ lifespan was slightly longer than that of an ordinary mortal. If they did not put in the effort to care for it, they only had the same lifespan as an ordinary person.

The appearance of this situation was suffocating. But the change was also very obvious.

Originally, because of the long lifespan of the priests, their forces could often develop over a long period and then spread to every corner.

But now, due to the reduction in the lifespan of the priests, these priests’ forces no longer have such a long period of development. They could no longer monopolize all the resources that they had in the past.

The effect was very obvious. When the lifespan of the priests became short, the contradiction within seemed to slow down. Generations after generations of new people with new thinking came to power and brought changes in all aspects.

And the shortening of the life span of the priests was beneficial to everyone except for the priests themselves. For the mortals at the bottom, the shortening of the life span of the priests meant that the position they had firmly occupied was now vacant. The replacement rate was faster.

At the same time, because of this, most of the new priests who came to power were young people. In the past, if a priest wanted to become a bishop, he would need at least one to two hundred years.

But now, there was no need. At most, it would take ten to twenty years. After all, no one could afford it.

And to the God of Shadows, there was no loss in replacing priests. The loss of an extraordinary being was a pity to the church. After all, the cultivation of an extraordinary person requires a lot of things. Not only did it require talent, but it also required a lot of resources to become successful.

But it was different for the priests. The so-called priests were just the spokesperson of the God of Shadows. Their powers were borrowed from the God of Shadows.

Even if the priests were replaced quickly, the new priests would still borrow the same powers from the God of Shadows. They were merely tool men to the God of Shadows, so it didn’t matter if they died earlier.

Thus, other than the priests, everyone else was optimistic about the change in the priests’ lifespan.

But that alone was not enough. With the priests’ lifespan weakened, although their control over the lower class had weakened, they still firmly controlled every aspect of society.

Under such circumstances, there could not be changes. Thus, in the following time, the God of Shadows continued his attempt.

Chen Heng quietly watched the God of Shadows’ various attempts and did not think of interfering. But from the bottom of his heart, he did not think the God of Shadows could succeed.

Because as long as the priests still had absolute power, they would still hinder the transformation of the world. To let society change normally, the priests could not wield absolute power.

But there was a problem. The root benefit of the gods was faith. And only when the priests had absolute power could faith prevail and contribute the most power to them.

Once the absolute power of the priests disappeared, the change could continue, and everything would continue to develop. But this was bad for the god himself because the increase in productivity might not necessarily bring an increase in faith.

On the contrary, these two things were sometimes opposite. In the era of the productivity explosion, the people’s demand for faith was getting weaker and weaker.

Therefore, Chen Heng did not think highly of the God of Shadows’ attempt and was pessimistic. However, he did not have any intention of opposing it.

Any god’s wisdom was extraordinary and could never be underestimated. Perhaps under the God of Shadows’ efforts, he might be able to find a way.

However, at the moment, compared to the God of Shadows’ attempt, Chen Heng was more concerned about what was in front of him.

“I’m almost at the critical point…”

Chen Heng’s face quietly revealed a smile looking at the land under his feet. At this moment, two thousand years had passed in the world. A brand new city had been built on the land, and lights were everywhere.

The city at night was brightly lit, and it was not much different from the world in Chen Heng’s memories. The only difference was that this was a world with extraordinary beings.

Hence, many technologies were different. Through observing various extraordinary powers, technology has achieved breakthroughs in many places.

In this world today, mortals could build weapons that used life force and mana crystals as energy sources, their strength comparable to a full-strength strike of a Seventh Rank powerhouse.

Through studying the spiritual link of mages, artificial intelligence began to develop rapidly, and robots were used in all aspects.

Science was the application of knowledge that observed existing laws and used them to advance. When extraordinary beings could manifest in the world, by observing the various laws of the extraordinary beings, science could also usher in further development.

Thus, extraordinary beings and science were not opposites. They could even promote the further development of science.

Chen Heng watched this change. In today’s society, the few Eighth Rank existences had already established their own continents.

Many countries existed together in the entire Primogenitor World, and their leader was usually a powerful, extraordinary being. And now, Chris had finally taken that crucial step.

“Major news, the glorious newspaper has issued an announcement. The Glorious King will conduct a new experiment next month or will be in contact with a new level…”

In many countries, various news spreads. Once this news spread, it immediately caused a huge uproar. The Glorious King was none other than Chris from back then.

But now, Chris had already made a breakthrough. He had already reached the Ninth Rank. And if he continued to advance above the Ninth Rank, what rank would he come into contact with?

Everyone couldn’t help but think of this. Including Jameson, Charlie, and the others, everyone set off at the first possible moment, heading towards Chris’ location.

In the current Primogenitor World, this matter has become everyone’s focus of attention. Because of the rapid spread of the news, even ordinary people could obtain it and began to pay close attention to it.

The related stock markets began to shake. Because of the Glorious King’s actions, many organizations began to release all kinds of news that impacted all aspects.

All Glorious Kingdom relevant stocks rose sharply, causing many people to chase after them. Of course, these were just small matters to Chris and the others. They were nothing in themselves.

On a vast platform, Chris stood there quietly. It seemed like he was waiting for someone calmy.

Not long after, a few of his friends came. They were Jameson, Charlie, Aimer, Grissom…

Familiar faces appeared in front of him one by one. Other than those familiar faces from before, many prodigies had ascended over the past thousands of years.

These prodigies were also very powerful; many had reached the Eighth Rank threshold. Of course, the most powerful ones were still Charlie and the others.

Under Chris’ stimulation, Charlie and the others had already touched the threshold of the Ninth Rank. Perhaps if they were given a few thousand years, they would be able to reach the same level.

Relying on his strength to reach the Ninth Rank was something Charlie would not even dare to imagine in the past.

In the World of Gods, he was only a Sixth Rank mage. For him, even reaching the Seventh Rank was an extremely vexing matter, let alone reaching the Ninth Rank.

However, after switching to an environment, he could continuously break through and reach his current level.

In this pioneering environment, new knowledge was discovered and created every moment. In this environment, it was the best for people with enough talent to improve.
