The original will of the wild world is not the consciousness of humans or other intelligent beings, at least it has no likes, dislikes, emotions, and desires, but is similar to a so-called "lower instinct." Just like the smallest microorganisms in the world, they eat, divide, and reproduce continuously. The driving force is not a "great ideal", but a simple instinctive activity.
Driven by instinct, the original will will make a choice that is beneficial to itself, rather than acting based on preferences. Therefore, in the monastic world, there is a saying that "the heaven and the earth are not benevolent and treat all things as stupid dogs." In fact, whether "benevolence" or "unkindness" is viewed from a human perspective. According to this statement, perhaps it can also be said that "the tiger is unkind and uses the elk as food." The scary big tiger actually had the heart to eat the cute little deer. What is this if not "unkind"
However, at least in the extraordinary world with the original will, the statement that "the heaven and the earth are unkind and treat all things as stupid dogs" is not necessarily accurate in some aspects.
For example, in the world of monasticism, why is it said that humans are the protagonists of heaven and earth? Why do some possessed powerful men and powerful men, after massacring countless civilians, suffer terrible divine punishment? Why is it that the human body is easier to cultivate and comprehend the so-called great way than other monsters, witches, etc.? And why do heavenly catastrophes come when ascetics improve their realm, especially when they "ascend"
What do these questions indicate
Don't you feel that, at least those "mortals" among the human race, are like the biological sons of the original will!
It may be an exaggeration to say that he is a biological son, but it seems that the original will of the world is indeed protecting those "mortals" intentionally or unintentionally. Although the original will will not exempt mortals from birth, aging, illness and death, and there will even be natural disasters that torment mortals from time to time, it is obvious that they do not want those extraordinary people to disturb mortals.
Since there is no such thing as preference in the original will, there is naturally a reason for doing so.
In the world of science and technology, some fantasy works have made such a setting, believing that the earth has a will named Gaia, and humans also have a collective consciousness named Alaya. Gaia consciousness protects the earth, and Alaya protects mankind. There may be conflicts between the two, but since they can coexist, they obviously have common interests.
Although fantasy works are just fantasy works, some things in this extraordinary world can still make some sense. Why does the original will protect the human race? Obviously, the existence of the human race and its normal and healthy reproduction are beneficial to the original will. Perhaps, the existence of the original will and possible evolution lies in the development of this intelligent life group.
Therefore, some reactions of intelligent life groups will also have some impact on the original will.
This is why, although not all tribes of the giant natives in the wild world are offering sacrifices, the scale is enough to affect the original will.
Maybe Alaya really exists, or there is a similar existence, which allows the collective consciousness of the giant natives to have a certain impact on the original will. Therefore, there was this feedback from the original will, which brought merits to Ye Zan and other foreign invaders, and even intended to use merits to enshrine the gods. This conferring of gods is not so much the meaning of the original will as it is to comply with the prayers of the giant natives.
However, Ye Zan played a trick here and used the merit monument to block the "conferred god" part, and only took away that part of the merit power. Now, everyone has received the merits they deserve, but they don't have to worry about being tied to this world by being "conferred as gods".
In addition, even though they have not accepted the "canonization of gods", if everyone refines these merits, they can still get a lot of benefits from them.
As mentioned before, the mana consumed by foreign invaders like Ye Zan cannot be replenished in this world. Just like in the Dawn World, although each sect has established a sect, they still need to continuously transport supplies from the monastic world. A large part of those supplies are pure spiritual stones or elixirs, which are used to replenish the mana of the ascetics.
It's like an army entering the enemy's territory and facing the enemy's strategy of fortifying the walls and clearing the country. People, food, horses and food have to be transported from the home country.
As for Ye Zan, he has done a lot of things since he came to the barbaric world. How could he not consume mana? Not to mention anything else, just using dreams to guide the giant natives is an extremely mana-consuming thing. Fortunately, Ye Zan's family is quite rich, so there is no need to worry about spiritual stones, so the Lin family siblings can freely use spiritual stones to restore their mana.
There are also Cassaro and others, although they all come from the small world, the power they consume can be replenished in the small world. However, the small world itself will not be created out of nothing, and it will have to replenish as much energy as it consumes. As the master of the small world, Ye Zan naturally needs to take on the responsibility of replenishing the energy of the small world, so as not to deplete the small world.
All in all, after Ye Zan and others came here, the consumption caused by every move could not be replenished here.
But now, as long as Ye Zan and others refine this merit, they will be recognized by the original will of the world and can use the power of this world to a certain extent. Although they have not accepted the "canonization of gods" and have not truly become people in this world, their merit is equivalent to giving them a "labor visa".
It was this benefit that made Ye Zan decide to put aside the evil spirits from outside the world for the time being, and he and others could concentrate on refining this merit first. Anyway, those extraterrestrial evil spirits are now a little bit troubled by the Zerg, and they have no energy left to do anything else.
As a result, Ye Zan and others suddenly stopped everything, and everyone retreated in the war fortress to refine their merits. Of course, for safety reasons, Ye Zan still received the War Fortress into the small world before starting the retreat. In this way, even if those evil spirits from outside the world free their hands, they will not be able to find their whereabouts at all.
I have to say that owning a small world and becoming the master of a small world is really better than any plug-in.
Of course, small worlds are easy to use, but not everyone has the opportunity to get a small world like Ye Zan. Not to mention those who are in the same Yuanshen realm as Ye Zan, even those who are in the Dharma phase realm or even the Heavenly realm, few people can have such an opportunity.
Therefore, opportunities are something that cannot be envied.
Ye Zan and others began to retreat, the demons outside the world were busy dealing with the Zerg, and the giant natives were making steady progress on the road to civilization.
Although, due to the retreat of the Lin family siblings, they are temporarily unable to guide the giant natives to learn new things. However, the giant natives are an intelligent race after all. After they have language and writing, learned how to use fire, and have the method of cultivation, they can always develop some new things on their own.
After that sacrifice, almost all the tribes that held sacrifices "invariably" set this day as a practice for future sacrifices. Afterwards, they returned to their normal lives, hunting when it was time to hunt and practicing when it was time to practice. The priests in the tribe continued to teach the tribe's language and writing, and became accustomed to recording some tribal affairs.
Yan continued to play with fire while practicing. When he was making various pottery for the tribesmen, he accidentally discovered metal burned out of a certain stone. To others, the accidentally burned metal is just a piece of seemingly useless residue. However, Yan Yan, who was accustomed to "inventions and creations", saw the significance of this metal residue.
"Chief, I want a few people to help me find such a stone." Yan took a piece of copper ore and found the leader of the tribe.
"What's the use of this stone... Does it have any guidance from the gods?" The leader took the ore and looked at it. Although he couldn't see the use of this thing, he still paid enough attention to it. After all, in his eyes, Yan is like a messenger of God, bringing fire and pottery to the tribe, so this stone must have some use.
"I discovered this by accident. Although it was not a gift from the gods in a dream, I think it must have been guided by the gods." Yan did not lie because he was afraid of offending the gods, but he did not deny it completely.
Originally, the leader was a little disappointed when he heard the first half of Yan's words, but after hearing the second half, he immediately became energetic again and said: "Okay, I'll ask the hunting team to pay attention, since this stone appears here. , it shouldn’t be something difficult to find.”
As the leader said, since this copper ore appeared in the tribe and fell into the hands of Yan who had never been out of the tribe, it was obviously not something very rare. So, after the hunting team returned with the prey, there was news about the copper ore. Not far from the tribe, the hunting team discovered a hill full of such stones.
Yan successfully solved the problem of the source of copper ore, and then began to try to use copper ore to smelt copper. Since he already possesses extraordinary strength and the ability to control flames, Yan's attempts at copper smelting went very smoothly. He successfully refined copper from the ore, and used a mold to cast the world's first copper object, a rough copper spearhead.
Of course, due to the pursuit of purity, this first copper spear head did not have amazing performance, and was even inferior to the stone tools used by the giant natives. However, Yan was not discouraged. Instead, he thought that the piece of "copper slag" he first discovered seemed different from the metal he had specially refined.
After many experiments, through luck and intentional mixing of "impurities", Yan finally found a relatively good formula and refined bronze. The hardness and castability of bronze meant that it was enough to replace stone tools, allowing this primitive tribe to move from the Stone Age to the Bronze Age.
If it were normal civilization development, of course everything would not be that simple, but the giant natives actually took shortcuts.
After all, the giant natives have acquired extraordinary power to a certain extent through practice, which can simplify many things. For example, if you want to smelt copper, you must at least have a furnace that can withstand high temperatures. However, because Yan can control the flame, when smelting copper ore, Yan can even concentrate the high temperature of the flame only in a certain range. In other words, if he was not worried about any accidents, Yan could even turn a pile of copper ore into a pool of copper water directly in an open space.
"Chief, this is the knife I made. It is much easier to use than the stone knife." After Yan cast a bronze knife, he immediately took it and reported to the leader. After all, only by letting the leader see tangible effects and benefits can he gain more support and invest more manpower in the production of this bronze.
Due to the problem of body shape, the bronze sword cast by Yan is not the long sword that "normal people" would think of, but a short sword similar to the shape of an ax blade. This is a stable and easy-to-use knife shape that Yan determined after conducting many experiments and breaking off more than a dozen bronze weapons of different lengths.
"Hey, this thing... looks good!"
The leader didn't need Yan Duo to introduce him. Just by looking at the sharp blade of the short sword, he knew what it was good at. He came to a prey that he had hunted with a knife, and struck it with his hand like he used to use a stone tool, but he was immediately shocked by the effect.
After all, this bronze knife is sharper than a stone knife. If the leader uses the same force to cut the prey, the results will naturally be very different. In the past, if you wanted to use a stone knife to cut the skin of a prey, you often had to press it on the prey and cut it back and forth many times. But now, using the bronze knife to scratch the prey's body, not only the skin of the prey was instantly cut open, but also it was cut deeply into the prey's body.
"How about chief, if we refine more of this material and equip everyone in the hunting team with such weapons, will hunting be easier?" Yan saw the leader's surprised look and immediately stepped forward with a smile and asked. .
"Is this thing difficult to make?" the leader asked curiously.
"It's not difficult. After all, when we use stone knives, don't we have to work hard to polish them? As long as there are enough special stones and then burned into something like water with fire, we can use it to make this kind of material. Planting a knife." Yan said proudly.
"That's great. If you need anything, I will arrange someone here to help you." Although the leader is not a man of great talents, he also knows what the appearance of this metal weapon means to his tribe.
Although, in this world, there is not often any contact between the tribes of these giant natives. However, after all, they live in the same world, and it is impossible for them to stay away from each other forever. It is common for them to encounter each other and even conflict. Moreover, due to the lack of civilization in the past and the lack of a common language for communication, there may be more conflicts when the two tribes meet.
