Chapter 382 - 199: Celestial Rules_3

Shen Hex conducted an in-depth investigation, discovering that the founding rulers of every dynasty in this world were not ordinary people. Each was born with various divine phenomena, such as a True Dragon entering the womb, accompanied by jade, double pupils, ears hanging down, and a red light encircling the room, among many others.

These phenomena are real, representing the reincarnation of various Great Gods into human form.

Therefore, in this world, rebellion is a very difficult matter.

Because those Great Gods descending to contend for the dragon throne all come with immense capital; although the rules of heaven and earth, along with the ignorance of reincarnation, prevent them from recovering their divine memories, they still possess many extraordinary attributes, whether it be exceptional talent, accompanying treasures, or grand destiny.

Generally speaking, the ultimate limit for ordinary persons is Tier Three, where Martial Dao can form Gang Qi, and cultivation can refine Magical Power.

But those reincarnated Divine Beings can break through this limit, sweeping through thousands of troops with martial arts or imposing laws with literature, reaching Tier Four or even Tier Five. Some are even blessed with great merit and destiny, turning calamities into fortunes, and besides, they can strike against enemies with meteors falling from the sky or Earth Dragon Flipping.

As a Seventh Grade Little God without any background, Shen Hex finds the difficulty of rebellion extremely high, with a high probability of being a vanguard for a king, perhaps even lacking the qualifications to be a vanguard.

Over the years, Shen Hex also considered using the power of the Mortal World to compensate for the deficiencies of the Underworld, having his subordinates climb the technological ladder to compete against those reincarnated Great Gods and Hidden Dragon True Dragons.

But he soon discovered that this path was difficult to traverse.

Firstly, there is a separation of Yin and Yang, and Deities cannot excessively interfere in the human world, or they would face heavenly retribution.

Entering dreams is an expression of this restriction.

Why do Deities, when entering dreams, only hastily speak a few words, unable to fully express themselves, and have to consume substantial Divine Power?

Is it because Deities are incapable?

Of course not!

Even a Ninth Grade Little God has the standing of Tier Four, equating to a True Essence Martial Artist or a Foundation Establishment Cultivator in other systems.

With such cultivation, they could easily engage in spiritual communication with a person’s Divine Soul for three days and nights.

But in this world, they can only say a few words, consuming substantial Divine Power.

The reason lies in the restrictions set by heaven and earth.

When Divine Beings enter dreams, they need to consume Divine Power to break through the barrier of Yin and Yang and withstand the restrictions of heaven and earth; otherwise, heavenly retribution would descend.

It’s not just dreams; any intervention in the human realm stirs the celestial rules and must be approached with low-key Divine Power use, or else it invites heavenly retribution.

Shen Hex long suspected signs of human interference in this world; now it seems true. First-class Great Gods or even Super Grade Emperors from the Upper Realm have set limitations on this lower realm, creating celestial rules to prevent Deities from overly interfering in the human realm to avoid catastrophic consequences.

However, these rules are not absolute; many loopholes can be exploited, the most direct being the use of Divine Power to offset the restrictions. If the Divine Power is sufficient, entering a dream to converse for three days and nights isn’t a problem.

The same applies to technological matters. If a Divine Being were to transmit knowledge that surpasses the era’s technology to a mortal, it would also invite celestial retribution, potentially resulting in catastrophic repercussions.

Otherwise, with twenty years of time at Shen Hex’s disposal, how could there be so little development? Without mentioning nuclear weapons and missiles, even producing some automatic firearms could conquer the world.

Since this couldn’t be achieved, Shen Hex engaged in all sorts of miscellaneous things, including Literary Sacrifice and Martial Sacrifice, even investing significant Divine Power to provide rewards. The fundamental purpose was to have the mortals under his governance develop themselves, encouraging research and advancing technology.

If mortals develop on their own, there’s no heavenly retribution.

But what Shen Hex cannot accomplish doesn’t mean others cannot.

Don’t think that this world, with its feudal appearance, is so backward.

Have those Deities, who have lived for countless years, no methods at their disposal?

If there were no special methods, how could this vast world, with a single prefecture spanning thousands of miles and overseeing the Nine States with over a hundred prefectures, ever achieve unification and governance?

Shen Hex investigated and found that during the time when those Great Gods were reincarnated and contending for the dragon throne, they too engaged in climbing "technology."

Although their technology is the craftsmanship of celestial mechanics and the methods of Divine Beings, unlike that of the Human Empire, their effects are the same, surpassing the mundane.

Though their transmissions of knowledge are subject to celestial restrictions, as Great Gods, their resources are immensely profound; Incense Fire Divine Power, destiny, and merit can all counteract these restrictions.

Therefore, they can directly transmit magical techniques and enhance technology, whereas Shen Hex can only encourage his subordinates to develop autonomously.

Herein lies the difference: You have cheats, but I have family assets!
