Omnipotent Overlord

Chapter 315: Prelude

Hum~

Hum~

Lights went out on and off as experts broke through. Afters coming here to cultivate, the lowest level of this crowd of experts was just the fourth level!

To an outsider, this scene would drive them mad from disbelief. But this was the might of humanitys trait. 

Was it truly coincidence the humans rose above after the ten sacred beasts were gone? Absolutely not.

Humanity had a short lifespan, but its talent and insight were among the best in all races. On one had other races had to spend thousands of years to breakthrough while humans with a sharper mind could do it in less than a century.

The earthlings did not know their heritage because they were marooned, outside of God Realms influence.

The God Realm net had yet to fully cover Earth, but Li Mo set up a Spiritual Gathering Array in the Experts Alliance headquarters, of the same effect as if the God Realm never left.

This is Vice-chief Lis Hundred Qi Pill?

Just how many times better is it than the real Hundred Qi Pill?

I just got from the first level to the peak fourth. And how long did it take? Twenty days.

I was peak fifth level when I came and I feel like Im growing stronger. But I just cant understand why I cant break through.

It seems everyone is stuck in this level but in truth, their power has long surpassed it.

I dont quite get whats going on but one things certain, Vice-chief Lis played a huge hand in this.

He let us, three thousand experts, increase our strength multiple times. I wouldve never dreamed it possible.

Li Mo inspected their progress with a pleased eye.

This was how humanity should be.

It wasnt that startling, either. Without the God Realm, there were still some brilliant talents who had barely reached the peak of the fifth level. It would be a wonder if it wouldnt cause a sensation across the entire universe. 

Even the universes ten great races couldnt compare to humanity if they were robbed of God Realm as well.

Vice-chief Li is here! Someone spotted Li.

Vice-chief Li!

The three thousand experts stood and showed their respect.

To experts, nothing was more important than raising their power. It was everything for them.

A peak fourth level could live for almost a hundred and sixty years and a fifth level would increase that to three centuries. None here ever thought it possible, but now they felt it on their own skin, how quickly they grew. 

Li Mo climbed on air, going higher and higher, I have made you strong, but it can hardly be accounted as something difficult.

Youve all cultivated for so long and know that there is life out there in the universe!

They all nodded.

It is very much true. Out there, in the vast stretches of space, live millions of other sentient races not less intelligent than us. And I saw them with my own eyes.

Vice-chief Li can go in space?

Really?

No way

I have seen other races but always thought they were native of Earth, demons and monsters of legends.

I thought the same

Li Mo waved for silence.

The ones you saw are called aliens. They are as smart as us humans, with some even exceeding us.

Universes races come in incredibly different shapes and sizes. But there is one thing I am confident none of you realize. Every race out there, once it reached a certain cultivation, can transform into humans.

Arent they just demons? A demon cultivating for a thousand years can take human form.

Yes, exactly like demons.

But why human form? I used to think this was all in our imagination, because of our human culture. Of course humans will believe human form is the most perfect one.

Yeah, that must be it.

Li Mo smiled, You are wrong. The universes races assume human form because this form is the most fitting in pursuing the Dao.

That is the so-called One With the World theory!

Dao begets unity, unity begets duality, duality begets trinity and trinity produced all things. Dao was everything. And the closer to Dao the more could one connect with the world.

Why do humans cultivate so fast? Because of our intimacy with Dao, of our natural bodies born from Dao. We can say that from humanitys birth, it could rule the entire universe.

But every advantage comes with disadvantage. Because of humanitys potential was too great, at its birth it was far weaker than other races. While talent comes from heaven, cultivation is up to every individuals effort. This is the most obvious difference between us and those races born strong.

Everyone ought to know the legends of our nation. Do you know Pangu?

Of course we do. Great God Pangu, the splinterer of heaven and sunderer of earth.

His body turning into lakes and rivers, his eyes into the sun and moon. This is how Earth came to be.(T/N: more info on Chineses world creation myth here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pangu)

Yes.

Could Great God Pangus legend be real?

All experts turned to Li Mo.

It is, but the details are unlike you all know. The result is the same while the process different.

Great God Pangu is, in antiquity, the Grand Elder of the Primogenitor Planet, from which humanity emerged. Because of civil war, he fled to Earth.

Earth had no sentient life forms at the time, a planet filled with vegetation. Thus Great God Pangu transformed it to what we see today.

Li Mo spoke of the true history of Earth.

To have these people fend off the alien invasion, he first had to tell them the whole story.

Earths creatures, humans included, come from beyond the stars. The insects and birds you see today were at first powerful beasts. But because God Realm hadnt been in contact with this planet for so long, they reverted to what you see today.

The same applies to pigs. Dont look down on them. In ancient times they were strong beings that shook the universe.

Do you understand what Im trying to say?

They were lost.

Its simple. The God Realm net is about to cover Earth. At that moment, the Earth will change and everyone will be in danger.

I have given you power and told you this so that you may prepare yourself for the alien invasion.

The experts were stunned.
