50: The cost of war is too heavy!

After Na Zunzhe went mad, he cautiously divined his and his beloved Disciple's lifelines, finding them smooth and powerful, not abruptly ending. Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief: "Very good, my and your lives are not in danger, so we can make contact with Little Gao."

Cultivating Immortality, the main focus is on being bold yet meticulous, to avoid contacting anything that shouldn't be touched, and ending up in a fiery blaze.

Oh, a literal fiery blaze, the kind that saves on cremation.

General Liu's heart, which he had been holding, finally relaxed: "It's good that there's no danger. I was just afraid that a Ninth-Tier Grandmaster or even a Tenth-Tier Saint was behind him."

Na Zunzhe scoffed: "Ninth-Tier? Tenth-Tier? Are you dreaming? If such figures wanted to deal with the Three-Leaf Clover Group, would they need to scheme? They would only need to express dissatisfaction with the Medicinal Pill industry recently, and the entire industry would have to undergo scrutiny and comprehensive planning."

For Ninth-Tier and Tenth-Tier big shots, it truly is just a matter of a single sentence. The people below, in order to have their names appear in the Saint's conversation, would naturally do their utmost to accomplish certain things.

A mere Three-Leaf Clover Group is nothing.

After Na Zunzhe finished speaking, he became puzzled again: "But I can't divine the person behind him, which is strange. If no Grandmaster made a move, his destiny line wouldn't have changed so drastically within a single week."

General Liu nodded: "I can't divine it either... Hmm? What do you mean 'within a week'? Revered Master, I didn't hear clearly."

Na Zunzhe was utterly speechless. He had no choice but to use all six of his arms to cast a Spell to temporarily enhance the image and sound quality. A young boy with a bun hairstyle, wearing a red sleeveless shirt, with three heads and six arms, sat on a lotus Magical Artifact, his six arms forming hand seals, looking displeased at his beloved Disciple: "Truly, if you don't improve your Formation studies, I'll have my Incarnation twist your head off one day.

Your shoddy Spell is the most wasteful Spell I've ever seen. Only a Grandmaster could use your crappy encryption Spell."

General Liu chuckled dryly: "Revered Master, at least this thesis passed, didn't it?"

Na Zunzhe said grumpily: "Yes, only a Grandmaster can use it, only a Grandmaster can detect it, only a Grandmaster can translate it... It's simply a top-tier Spell for a fool's nest.

If it weren't for the fact that you need a qualifying thesis to graduate, I wouldn't even want to put my name on it."

This idiotic Spell was truly the best of the best. Na Zunzhe had never imagined that someone could complete a thesis with such a foolish operation, and then still manage to run around – it was outrageous!

Na Zunzhe habitually finished scolding his beloved Disciple, then repeated himself.

General Liu looked at his Revered Master blankly: "What do you mean by 'within a week'?"

Na Zunzhe said in surprise: "A week ago, he was still a Mortal, but now, the fluctuations of Luck on his body are endless, connecting with the Luck of countless people, as if he has merged with all beings, yet also as if he is not a single person. It is truly incredibly strange."

This made Na Zunzhe certain of one thing: there must be a Grandmaster behind him.

Without a Grandmaster, this could not be done.

General Liu gasped: "Terrifying!"

I thought he was a terrifying Genius, but I didn't expect it to be within a week. How did he do that!?

After hearing the information, General Liu couldn't help but think with reverse thinking, inferring: "Revered Master, is there a possibility that there is no Grandmaster behind him, and he himself is a person with very unique Luck, a kind of strange Genius?"

This situation is not non-existent, but it is indeed very rare.

Na Zunzhe freed one hand to scratch the cheek of his middle head, looking bewildered: "Then there are now three possibilities.

First, he is a rare Genius, seen only once in a thousand years, like in the 'YellowLiang Yimeng' (Dream of the Yellow Millet), possessing a talent for earth-shattering change in a single day.

Otherwise, the phenomenon of his drastic daily changes over this past week cannot be explained.

Second, a Grandmaster whom I cannot divine stands behind him, and he indeed has not had direct contact, but he vaguely senses something, which is why he has become so cautious.

Even a fool would know that such a big change within a week means he must have an Opportunity.

Third, a Grandmaster stands behind him, and there has been clear contact. But this Grandmaster is stronger than me and is planning some things, intending to cultivate this child."

General Liu nodded in agreement: "Indeed, this child's original talent was not good, but his Heart-Nature for seeking the Dao is excellent. This is a very precious Genius. Talent can be compensated for through Acquired means, but the Heart-Nature for seeking the Dao cannot be easily supplemented."

Na Zunzhe's gaze fell upon the pages of the book before him, which contained all of Tang Gao's information. The pages rustled without a breeze: "Indeed, if it's for cultivating a Disciple, then it makes sense."

General Liu then felt a slight doubt: "What about a situation similar to the 'YellowLiang Yimeng'? What do you think, Revered Master?"

Na Zunzhe was both amused and exasperated: "'YellowLiang Yimeng' every day? I think you are in a 'YellowLiang Yimeng'. Do you know what tier of Artifact Refining Grandmaster can make a one-time use Magical Artifact for 'YellowLiang Yimeng'?"

Magical Artifacts for 'YellowLiang Yimeng' do exist.

However, these precious items are one-time use Magical Artifacts. They break after one use, and each broken one means one less, making it impossible to refine them again for many years.

Daily 'YellowLiang Yimeng', what kind of beautiful dream is that?

General Liu gave an awkward smile: "That's true. With this child's foundation, he simply cannot support this Spell model."

Na Zunzhe then carefully calculated the heavenly secrets again, and after finding no omissions, he stopped divining and instructed: "This child's Heart-Nature for seeking the Dao is excellent. Whether he knows there's a Grandmaster behind him or not, he can certainly be cultivated well. Perhaps he can add another Grandmaster to our Human Race."

The number of Human Race Grandmasters is indeed large, but in the vast world, no race would dislike having too many Grandmasters of their own.

General Liu nodded and bowed: "Understood, I obey."

Na Zunzhe paused, then couldn't help but instruct again: "As long as he doesn't betray the Human Race, you must cultivate him with all your might. The current peaceful times are hard-won, so don't miss this Opportunity.

When you encounter other Geniuses, you must also not be stingy with the cost. In the future, even if we want to spend the cost, I'm afraid we won't have such abundant peaceful times as now."

General Liu's expression changed slightly: "Revered Master, has something happened?"

Na Zunzhe's sixteen-year-old youthful face showed a solemn expression: "You also know that the entire society is very competitive now, don't you?"

General Liu nodded, his face puzzled: "Indeed, logically speaking, Cultivators possess extremely strong productivity, so there's no need to involve the entire Mortal society. But now even the entire Mortal world is absurdly competitive, which is truly too strange.

Moreover, we clearly won the war and were the victors, receiving generous compensation, but now... it's like we're desperately fleeing from famine, competing as if afraid of starving to death."

General Liu's eyes grew solemn, and he paused, then said: "It's like preparing for a new Human Race war."

This is very strange. Shouldn't it be a prosperous era after winning a war?

Cultivators have so many resources they can't use them all, yet now the entire Immortal Realm and human society are absurdly competitive.

Many Cultivators are trying every possible means to monopolize resources, as if afraid their Heart-Nature is sufficient to withstand the Heart Demon tribulation.

They are too eager for quick success. This is not just a small number of people, but the entire society is permeated with this atmosphere.

In the short term, there will indeed be huge profits, but when the cycle closes, this will be the end of civilization.

Even if it's not an apocalyptic disaster, it will at least severely weaken civilization's Origin Qi.

Na Zunzhe said with a solemn expression: "Four of the Five Human Emperors are going to die, and the remaining Human Emperor was severely wounded in an assassination attempt not long ago."

General Liu's face showed extreme shock and disbelief: "How is this possible!?"

Na Zunzhe sighed: "We won the war, but lost our foundation. The Human Race is about to undergo a transformation. This is a time of transition, most prone to problems, and also the time when we most need to cultivate new era Grandmasters to stabilize the situation and try our best to get through the coming period safely."

The cost of war was too heavy.

These several ambitious Human Emperors are about to reach the end of their lifespans, which will cause social unrest in human society.

The air fell silent, and the shock on General Liu's face continued to brew.

Na Zunzhe added in a solemn tone: "Even if fewer people die during the transition, that would be good. The higher-ups have already begun to strictly investigate monopolistic enterprises, rectifying internal problems, and preparing to meet the coming impact."

The Three-Leaf Clover Group will definitely be strictly investigated; this is the general trend.

No matter what Tang Gao was thinking, he unconsciously made the most favorable choice within the general trend.

In his conversation with General Liu, he secretly aligned with the heavenly secrets, gaining Luck for himself in the unseen world.

The Three-Leaf Clover Group must be overthrown; this is a clear conclusion.

It can be by the people, or by the heroes pushed forward by the people.
