C3337 Second Overlord
By the time Ruyan was seventy-five years old, he was already in charge of handling affairs at Kingdom of the Sage. Even though the blueprints were already relatively complete, he still had not done anything about it. The sages of this era had a reverent and fearful heart towards everything. He believed that the blueprints he drew could not compare to the Heaven-Accessing Tower that many of the sages built together, so he spent his entire life's energy on perfecting the Heaven-Accessing Tower.
Ruyan herself had even said that he was actually copying the Heaven-Accessing Tower. The instrument she drew was only simpler.
Until now, Ruyan had not discovered the existence of "Daos" in his blueprints. This was something that Heaven-Accessing Tower did not possess at all.
In fact, Ruyan had already been continuously comprehending the laws of heaven and earth, and had already stepped into the martial way and entered the Divine Essence Stage realm. At this time, although Ruyan had been cultivating her own body and mind day and night, and had almost been able to engulf the Yuan Qi around her, but he still did not understand what martial arts was.
It was also during this year that the construction of Heaven-Accessing Tower came to a standstill.
Because some resources are missing.
The Heaven-Accessing Tower had been constructed for more than two thousand years, and most of the materials were available, but there were a few that were not enough. Thus, Ruyan began to vigorously develop her alchemy, hoping to purify some valuable materials from the ordinary materials. In the next ten years, with the help of Ruyan, her alchemy in Kingdom of the Sage developed greatly, but the materials were still not enough, so Ruyan sent a large number of explorers to search for precious materials in the distant world.
When Ruyan was one hundred and fifty years old, he became the oldest and most respected sage. He led the Kingdom of the Sage and started a war.
It was an expedition.
Kingdom of the Sage had never initiated a war of his own accord, so Ruyan's decision drew a lot of criticism. But at this time, his prestige was already very high, and using his own prestige and position, he forcefully launched an expedition, personally led a large army to the far west. He arrived at the place where the dozens of Small Kingdom were gathered, conquered, and controlled a few important mines.
But the war did not stop.
He believed that he would not be able to estimate the resources required to create the Heaven-Accessing Tower in his lifetime, so war and diplomacy continued. Kingdom of the Sage conquered a few relatively barbaric worlds, and they also used diplomatic means to swallow some the Civilized World. By the time Ruyan was one hundred and ninety years old, Kingdom of the Sage had already controlled almost all of the known worlds, and Ruyan had finally become the leader of known worlds.
And because of this, he became the second publicly recognized overlord after Great Emperor of Longevity.
By the time Ruyan was two hundred years old, his body was showing signs of aging.
As for the Heaven-Accessing Tower, it was already incomparably huge. Looking at the Heaven-Accessing Tower, which was bigger than any city, and looking at the passing of time, the rushed craftsmen said with difficulty, "I'm wrong, I can't finish constructing the Heaven-Accessing Tower in my lifetime, even after a few thousand years or even ten thousand years, it will consume too many resources, and maybe all of the resources of the entire world, even the blood and bones of all living beings, will not be completed. As long as a disaster approaches, all of our efforts will be in vain.
On the third day after Ruyan's condemnation of him, he died of old age.
After Ruyan died, because he was too aggressive while he was still alive, many lives were lost in battle, many places were turned into wastelands because of the massive amount of resources being excavated, thus, a wave of denouncement such as ruthlessness broke out. Not only did they not recognize Ruyan as a saint, they did not allow him to be buried, and even more so, they directly demanded him to stop the construction of Heaven-Accessing Tower.
This kind of wave had existed for a few years, and had also stirred up a commotion for a few years, but was suppressed by the sages of the younger generation. These sages encouraged them, and in a very short period of time, allowed their Kingdom of the Sage to return to the normal path, until their achievements were confirmed, and undeniable, they were placed in the Pantheon Monastery, and were regarded as one of the great sages, the Heaven-Accessing Tower, continued to be constructed.
At this moment.
Another mixed race natural god appeared.
He was Ruyan's nephew. Different from Ruyan, his body not only contained the power of the Water De, but also the power of thunder, a mixed race natural deity even stronger than Ruyan. However, he did not have the vast knowledge and philosophical foundation like Ruyan.
It was Haoshui Longzi.
When Haoshui Longzi appeared on the stage of history, Ruyan had been dead for more than 20 years, and Haoshui Longzi was already over 60 years old.
He had also participated in the construction of Heaven-Accessing Tower before, but he had always thought that there was a problem with Heaven-Accessing Tower s and had always been lacking one. He had once made a statement and said, "The Heaven-Accessing Tower cannot let us walk onto a peaceful path," thus, he was criticized by many wise men. After all, Heaven-Accessing Tower s were the foundation on which Kingdom of the Sage could be built.
In the following years, Haoshui Longzi started to search for other things than technology. He spent a lot of time trying to comprehend this world, think about this world, and borrow the ideas of various schools of thought.
Dao.
This was the first time he had named a Dao, but the meaning of the Dao right now was still rather crude. It was the last words of the Saint who designed the Heaven-Accessing Tower back then, before his death. The last words he said, "We will not let anyone destroy the prosperous civilization that we created, whether it be the cruel laws or the barbaric Kun Race, with our blood, we will lay down a glorious road for the future!" The last word of this sentence, "Dao", was considered by many sages to be the dream of all living beings and the goal pursued by all sages. Therefore, Haoshui Longzi used this word to name his own school of learning.
More than ten years later, a large number of sages had appeared in the Kingdom of the Sage, and they became Haoshui Longzi's pious followers.
When Haoshui Longzi was ninety-five, his mother died, and he inherited most of the inheritance. Because there were no descendants after Ruyan's death, the inheritance was given to her niece, Haoshui Longzi's mother.
All of the wealth and resources in these inheritances were donated by Haoshui Longzi, but there were a lot of books, diaries, and drawings.
He found the instrument.1
And began to call on their believers to make the instrument.
