Chapter 55: Sacred Court Casting
While his cultivation method’s sole purpose was to replace the world in stealing that fortune. Taking a slice from right under its nose
This was the heaviest crime of all, the reason any monarch earned such hatred. A stable society that pursued humanity’s benefit let its people flourish. A strong dynasty earned it no fortune.
Order was the opposite of entropy and the longer peace lasted; the less fortune the world got.
A normal emperor’s lifetime was nothing for the world, since it went for a century tops.
But the moment the emperor withstood the test of time, it meant starving the world by stealing its riches and authority. Would anyone stand for it?
Would the mighty world take this lying down? The answer was a most definite no.
This was where the two contradictions clashed in the most brutal way.
As for those super powered people, they were influenced by the world to stir up humanity, its pawns.
Regardless of their intentions and wishes, they were each race’s traitors. As hated as the traitors of China in the war of resistance against Japan’s invasion.
These traitors sold their country. While the ruler would be human still and even of the same color, but these traitors abandoned their race to be left for the world to chew on, andrear them like cattle tosheer and gut them, when they got fat enough.
Its tools? Super powers, the sharpest cleaver there ever was.
Every wise or unwise race had a hierarchy.
What would then happen to the bottom rug suddenly finding itself wielding a super power?
Since time immemorial these variables upset the natural order. With the powerless people vying for power.
To say nothing of those that had power, the commoners couldn’t fight them at all. They would thus revolt and make themselves the new rulers. Why on earth would they stand there and be bossed around? It made no sense.
This meant entropy and entropy meant chaotic humanity, which led to seeping fortune, the world would gobble up at the opportune moment, until they would be sucked bone dry to evolve itself.
The world kept setting its pieces on the board, snuffing out any humanitarian or crucial figures in society. In other words, escalating the plot and inciting chaos.
The chosen had innate reserves of fortune and the world sent many of its cultivators in their path to squeeze them of it.
Each calamity that beset them robbed them of just a bit more of that fortune, while some cultivators that came to assist him would get their share as well, all until the main character was bone dry.

When that happened, every main character would find their ending cruel and bitter. He betrayed humanity and now he fell out of the world’s favor.
The world was selfish and fair, treating everyone the same. Main character felt they got special treatment because they served the world a purpose, and the minute they outlived their use, they were obsolete.
To say nothing about humanity. Ask anyone and they’d tell you they hated traitors to the core, worse than their most bitter enemy.
Looking over the annals of history, it was clear as day most enemies survived encounters with others, while the traitors were crushed with impunity.

Take some of the most famous traitors. Lu Bu, in the times of the Three Kingdoms, betrayed Ding Yuan first, then Dong Zhuo, then Liu Bei, then met his end before Xiapi’s southern gate. Wu Sangui was held in great esteem when joining the Qing army, bestowed titles and riches, yet when peace came, he was taken care of after losing from all support and everyone around him.
These people didn’t fall at their own men, but at the hands of those they relied on. The fates of all traitors were clear to see.
Those cultivators that failed to grasp the limelight of a main character and having lost their worth, they would lose their connections as well.
For the same reason the main characters had the people following them at the start, everyone vying for his attention; since everywhere they went big stuff happened. But when they lost their mojo, all fell apart.
Like Guo Jing to Yang Guo, Zhang Sansheng to Zhang Wuji. Weren’t they all temporary main characters? But after a time, their aura faded. (T/N: from Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber.)
Thus the core of this cultivation method was to use his nation’s people, like the world used its denizens.
Even brand the world’s beings as his nation’s.
Using them to promote humanity, to farm them for fortune.
‘In this process I can spin or crush the defined plotline, ruining the world’s design and winning humanity’s support and trust.’
Until the world’s power fell from his constant harassment and humanity, vigilance of him was wanted because of his interference.
It was then he’d bare his fangs.
The world’s power turned to chaos from all his actions, losing its delicate balance.
Then there’d be a clash between the two figures he incited from the shadows. Though their life remained the same, their sides differed, with one being the side of life and the other on the side of the world.
The two sides would lose power as their conflicts grew harsher while he reaped their fortune.
The more fortune he got, the bigger his influence in this world. He’d grow so powerful he would hold the entire world and its beings in the palm of his hand.
The moment his power grew enough, he’d kick the world’s intent and humanity to the curb, turning them into his slaves to do his bidding.
This was why the cultivation method earned the world’s envy, the people’s jealousy and everyone’s ire.
He would become the public enemy number one just by training it.
It held no use as long as he just held onto it, but the second he cultivated it, he was a threat.
