I Might Be A Fake Cultivator Chapter 649 The Worldwide Upgrade

General Hong Cang’s heart also jolted in shock as he looked around at all the dumbstruck spectators.

He activated his domain, and crimson flames soared into the sky as an extremely powerful aura burst forth. All the surrounding true demons were struck by the urge to kneel and bow in the face of such a monstrous aura.

“So this is the power obtained from a successful tribulation transcendence?” General Hong Cang clenched his fists as he came to the realization that he was the first person to have ever successfully transcended his tribulation.

Boom!

Right at this moment, a new phenomenon took place.

Iridescent light appeared throughout heaven and earth, encompassing the entire world! At the same time, the great dao resonated with the iridescent light as holy music rang out. All the living beings of this world seemed to have been blessed by the holy music, and a certain transformation took place.

A flash of white light suddenly glowed in Tina’s eyes. The light seemed to bring with it boundless possibilities, and Tina’s body trembled before dissipating into countless specks of golden light.

“Giant An Lin, this world is ready for an upgrade, so I’m going to merge with it for now.”

Tina completely disappeared as she spoke.

Upgrade?

An Lin’s heart jolted in shock as his breathing accelerated.

He could also feel the blessing of the holy music, and his soul seemed to have been purified. The purification acted on An Lin himself, as opposed to the body Tina had created for him. The most apparent change that he could detect was that his consciousness had become more vast and resolute, to the extent that it was akin to that of a Return to Void Stage mighty figure!

Rumble…

The rumbling and trembling of heaven and earth startled all the living creatures of this world.

At the same time, the holy music and the iridescent light made them completely entranced.

Imperceptible changes took place, and the phenomena began to slowly disappear before they even knew it.

Eventually, everything fell silent again.

Tina reappeared beside An Lin, and her cheeks were a little flushed as her body swayed feebly.

An Lin immediately placed an arm around her body to support her. “How did it go?”

Tina shook her head with a smile. “I still overexerted myself in the end, but I was able to expand the area of this world even more than I had expected. This world is now over fifteen thousand kilometers in radius.”

“That’s even bigger than Earth!” An Lin clicked his tongue in wonder.

“Also, after merging with heaven and earth, I feel like my power of jurisdiction has increased.” Tina was very feeble, but her emerald eyes flashed with excitement.

An Lin asked with curiosity, “What do you mean?”

“Let me give you an example; I can now create my own highly intelligent life forms. On top of that, I can transfer life forms as well as inanimate objects between two realms…” Tina elaborated.

An Lin’s eyes widened in shock, and he drew a sharp intake of breath upon hearing this.

In the central city of the True Demon Tribe, a stream of iridescent light descended from the heavens before shining down upon General Hong Cang’s body as the phenomena between heaven and earth disappeared. This was a blessing from the world for his role in setting a precedent.

The blessing originated from the entire heaven and earth, so it would be extremely beneficial for a single life form to receive!

After a short silence, all the true demons finally erupted in a wave of raucous cheers.

They were genuinely happy for General Hong Cang as he was the first-ever person to break through to a new realm. As such, they were extremely proud and ecstatic.

News of him being able to break through to Soul Formation Stage after enduring forty-nine bolts of tribulation lightning began to spread like wildfire throughout the nine tribes.

The nine tribes were all shocked to receive word of this, and they were initially quite skeptical, but the phenomena that occurred between heaven and earth forced them to believe the truth. This meant that all the powerful beings that had “ascended” during their trial tribulations had actually died!

This notion sent shivers running down all the spines of the Half-Step Soul Formation Stage cultivators of the nine tribes. There had only been one f*cking successful instance of tribulation transcendence in ten whole years! Wasn’t this rate of success essentially zero?!

Thus, all of them chose to restrict their cultivation base and did not dare to make a breakthrough…

However, there were always powerful beings that weren’t afraid of death, and they continued to forge ahead.

Despite the abysmal success rate of tribulation transcendence, there were still people willing to give their lives in pursuit of more power.

Perhaps the phenomena that had occurred between heaven and earth on that day had effected a change upon this world as there were many Half-Step Soul Formation Stage cultivators from all nine tribes who made breakthroughs during the next year. After the precedent had been set, the rate of success reached as high as thirty percent!

All nine tribes welcomed their own Soul Formation Stage powerful beings in quick succession to usher in a new age of prosperity!

At the same time, the human race was also developing extremely quickly. The population of Qi Lou City broke through the hundred-thousand mark, which was quite an impressive rate of growth.

There were still no Soul Formation Stage cultivators among them, but Adam and Eve were both at the pinnacle of the Spirit Nurturing Stage, and almost every single human was cultivating, so the signs were very optimistic. Aside from that, there had even been significant advancements in the fields of pill refinement, tool refinement, talisman refinement, and other forms of technology.

This was the main difference between the human race and the nine tribes. Although they were all highly intelligent creatures, the human race developed in a vastly different direction compared to the nine tribes.

The nine tribes were quite powerful from birth and liked to rely on their own strengths for everything. They believed that strengthening oneself was the only way forward, and as such, they were only interested in cultivation, thereby shunning all other aspects of development.

Humans were quite weak from birth, but they knew how to use tools to make themselves stronger. Thus, they were extremely proficient in the use of magic tools, spell formations, talismans, pills, and a whole host of other things to enhance their own strength.

They were making technological developments as well, but at a much slower rate than what An Lin had imagined.

However, this was understandable. After all, everyone could become more powerful and extend their lifespans through cultivation, so what was the point of wasting time on researching technology?

Technological advancements allowed them to get stronger temporarily, but could the advancements extend their lifespans? No!

All living beings feared death. So when the path of immortality through cultivation was provided to them, who would be stupid enough to waste their lives on advancing technology? No one with a normal brain would do that!

Technological advancements could only be made through research and experimentation. It was often the case that countless people had to dedicate their lives to this before any meaningful advancements were made. However, everyone wanted to extend their lifespans, so who would willingly dedicate their lives to research only to pave the way for their successors?

Essentially, the temptation of cultivation urged humans to direct their attention away from technology.

However, there were some special people who loved the sciences and loved to dedicate themselves to research. Some dedicated their whole lives to science, while others cultivated while doing research on the side.

Among these people, the ninth child of Adam and Eve was a perfect representative of this.

That’s right, this was the remainder child who was left out after his brothers and sisters entered into relationships with one another!

He was a man named Seth, and his true love was science, not women!

He wanted to become a scientist!

Perhaps it was because they were only the second generation of humans, that was why their lifespans were extremely long.

Many years had passed, but Seth still looked like he was in his twenties. However, his hair and facial hair were extremely unkempt and disheveled, and he constantly walked around with a jaded look, making him appear as if he really were a mad scientist.

As the head scientist of Qi Lou City, Seth had already recreated all the scientific inventions detailed in the books of the Qi Lou City Library. Based on those books, he recreated sewing machines, manual printers, gunpowder, alloys, and all manners of chemically engineered products…

In recent years, he had even led the research team in constructing steam-powered vehicles and steam-powered ships, thus advancing the human race to the steampunk era.

An Lin’s heart was filled with anticipation at the sight of the flourishing human race.

Just how far could the humans of this world take scientific advancements?
