Above The Sky

Chapter 2159 - 61: Final Serenity (Part 2)

"At that time, what regions will we be assigned to? Just imagining it feels pessimistic."

"In that case, it’s better to continue on, there’s no need to insist on the original form anymore. With our powers... it’s not difficult to create human bodies."

Saying this, Scholar Bai Wo raised his hand and pointed to one end of the dining table where there was a roasted suckling pig — this roast pig had even been bitten by Bai Ji, presumably finding it unappetizing and thus didn’t continue eating, while the others had no interest in Bai Ji’s saliva, leaving it there.

Now, with Bai Wo’s power, the fragrant roast pig began to transform rapidly — it quickly became the form of a human child: "Just like this, slowly sculpt for the next generation, turning into humans."

They were even cooked.

"Hey." Seeing this, the others didn’t react, but Bai Ji was anxious first. He hurriedly raised his hand and froze the door with ice: "Why change into a child? If others see this, they’ll slander us for cannibalism.""

He also pointed at that cooked person, turning it into an icebound roasted whole lamb.

"However." After doing this, Bai Ji turned to Yingye and said: "What Bai Wo said is indeed correct. The human system has already formed. Even for me, decades later, I’m afraid I won’t be able to maintain this special independent status."

"You see, for those of us at the Fifth Energy Level, bloodline is insignificant; we can arbitrarily transform any creature’s body into a human, then change it into another being... Though this might cause the soul to fail to adapt, if we start by doing this from the embryo, creating humans who embody the essence of Yingye isn’t difficult."

"When they reach the Third and Fourth Energy Levels, they may unlock the powers within their bloodline and slowly regain their past glory."

"...I just don’t want to admit defeat."

Yingye stared at the roasted whole lamb on the table, as if seeing himself: "Bloodline isn’t the most important, but transforming into humans, can that really make humans accept us? They fight among themselves so fiercely, surely they’ll be even more exclusionary toward us, the outsiders who transform and come among them."

"Bai Ji, you understand humans best. Don’t you comprehend the nature of humans?"

"If you remain silent, they will bully you. Only if you have the ability to speak and resist will they respect you, will they accept you— a race with no value in unification and who directly gives up and surrenders, would certainly be consumed completely by humans!"

"But if we don’t surrender, what can we do?"

Lady Wilderness shook her head, walking to the window on the top floor of Novalmont Tower, overlooking this once wild city: "Three years ago, Najie City was still an ancient, typical fortress nation. Besides the Bloodline Nobility, there weren’t many people with power in the entire city, and apart from weapons, there were no Alchemical Creations or mechanical marvels. Everyone farmed and hunted primitively, trading goods with other countries for grain and industrial necessities."

"Simply put, it was a raw materials exploitation colony."

"But now, look, now that investors from the Silverpeak Domain hold power, this city has been transformed into something else."

Outside the window, a spacious, bright, brand-new city with no trace of ’fortress stronghold’ appeared before everyone.

When investors from the Silverpeak Domain, specifically from the ’Supreme Spirit Sect’, arrived in Najie City, the first thing they did was build a temple and open its doors to everyone.

In the temple, they taught literacy, mathematics, alchemy, inscriptions, physical education, philosophy, and knowledge of the Arcane Pathway. Anyone over six years old could learn, and they did so because the deity of the Supreme Spirit Sect (simply put, everyone knows it’s Ian Silverpeak) disliked ignorant people (in plain terms, it’s a hatred of stupidity).

If you don’t send your children, it doesn’t matter, but within just half a year, the ’baptized children’ educated in the temple will exhibit noticeable differences compared to those uneducated — stronger powers and wisdom.

This is partly due to the excellent basic qualities of the Terra People, and also because the ’spiritual education space’ of the Supreme Spirit Temple allows for continued education during sleep, significantly increasing learning time out of thin air.

This is just the foundation. If it’s in the Silverpeak Domain, after the children study in the Supreme Spirit Temple for five years, based on their achievements, they are transferred to the ’Public Academy’ built by the Headquarters. High-achieving students may continue studying at the Academy, while those who fall slightly short continue building a foundation at the temple until they meet the requirements.

The main skill taught at Silverpeak Public Academy is solely the ’Arcane Pathway.’

One could say, the entire education system of the Silverpeak Domain is designed to cultivate an Arcane Path Practitioner proficient in all knowledge; as long as you’re diligent and not a fool, at the latest by age eighteen, you can start studying the Arcane Pathway at the Academy, thereby laying a foundation for becoming a cultivator.

Academy studies last four years, generally enough for smart children to lay the foundation for the Primordial Seed, which is the base for the Primary Essence Furnace Core. After that, they can practice independently, attempting to become a First Level Sublimator. The self-study period may last one to two years or extend to seven or eight years, but with persistence, it’ll always approach the First Level.

This five plus four, a total of nine years of education, is the policy adhered to by the Silverpeak Domain, and the outcomes of the first batch of education have already borne fruit there, with over a hundred thousand practitioners close to the traditional First Energy Level."
