The Silver Mage King and Fang Yueru spoke for a very long time, and he benefited a lot from that conversation.
Thereafter, the Silver Mage King even went to Earth and observed the various systems in the area of history, society, economics, and politics.
Earth was not as strong as Miracle World, but it was also because of this that the ruler did not have absolute dominance. This made it easier for there to be revolutions, and within a mere 1, 000 years, the changes to Earth's civilization would surpass the changes in Miracle World over several ten thousand years.
The things the Silver Mage King heard and saw on Earth had a great impact and influence on his perspectives toward the world.
For the first time, he got to know about technology and the importance of production capabilities.
Of course, in his opinion, the prowess of technology was not comparable to that of martial arts. The crux was in the universality of technology and the possibility to make replicates. Technology increased human's productivity tremendously, allowing even ordinary commoners to enjoy superior lifestyles.
However, just as he was about to bring in technology to Miracle World, he suddenly discovered that it was impossible for this thing to be disseminated and become popularized there.
One reason was that the physical parameters were different in the two worlds. This was especially when the existence of ether particles caused a majority of the technological products from Earth to be inoperable. There must be a process for improvements to be implemented.
This process was not too difficult for the Silver Mage King who had reached the Divine level a long time ago. Fang Xingjian could easily make modifications successfully at this stage. Although the Silver Mage King who—at tier one of the Divine level—was a far cry from Fang Xingjian's level, it had only taken him a few years' time to do it.
The actual difficulty lay in the other reason.
The other more important reason was that no ruler would allow commoners and ordinary people to possess the same powers as top-notch experts and dominators without having to spend any effort.
Be it the Mage Association or some countries' upper echelon, after the Silver Mage King promoted Earth's technological products, they would probably accept the Silver Mage King's idea and adopt the use of some of them. They might view the technological products in contempt and see them as diabolical tricks or wicked crafts, or they might see them as a huge threat, only permitting the people from the upper echelon to use them.
The Silver Mage King understood that if he were really to bring in technology to this world, they would still probably be grasped only by the minority. This would only make it harder for ordinary commoners to retaliate, and they would sink into greater despair.
All of these were only because the setup in Miracle World and on Earth was different. The people in this world with authority possessed the greatest powers, having production capabilities which far surpassed those of ordinary people. It was unlike how things were on Earth. The experts in this world, especially the Divine level experts, did not require help from the commoners.
The existence of technological products would only aggravate this situation, causing the experts—especially the Divine level experts—to possibly be able to break away from society and live independently.
When there was no need for a type of living creature to exist, what kind of treatment would they receive?
When the time came, all the commoners across the world would probably just become playthings for the top-notch experts.
The Silver Mage King understood that if he really wanted to bring about a revolution to this world, he would have to wait for the right opportunity. He would have to wait until a point in time when all the people in power were in agreement with him or when no one in the world could stop the world from evolving.
...
The Silver Mage King threw a glance at Fang Xingjian and said indifferently, "Ulpian, tell your people not to come anymore. I can't guarantee that I won't kill them every time. I can't leave the matters about the northern barren lands to them.
"That will only cause bloodshed and conflict."
"I've got in. These are just trifling matters. Look, Fang Xingjian has joined us as well." Ulpian saw anticipation in the Silver Mage King's eyes."Other than him, another tier seven Divine level expert has also agreed to join in. What are you still waiting for?"
With both Fang Xingjian and Ulpian coming to an agreement, it could be said that the strongest powers in the entire Miracle World had gathered together.
The only thing that could stop them was probably the true owner of this world—the White Demonic God.
The Silver Mage King threw the two of them a glance and said, "If the entire world falls, what will the two of you do?"
"What will we do? You're saying... ?" Fang Xingjian asked puzzledly.
The Silver Mage King asked seriously, "If this world loses White's influence, it will mean that we as the strongest experts in this world have this world's future in our grasp. How are you guys planning to rule it? How are you guys going to manage it?"
Hearing that, Fang Xingjian was stunned for a moment. The only reason why he wanted to break away from White's influence was that he wanted to break away from all the demonic gods' control. It was because he believed the curse that resulted in him having a lifespan of five years was caused by the demonic gods and influenced by some kind of divine art.
Therefore, he wanted to break away from the demonic gods' control, breaking away from the limits of having a five-year lifespan. That was why he joined this plan.
Ulpian said directly, "My goal is only to let this world break away from being controlled. As for what will happen to it or how it would develop... As long as it is free, I'm not concerned."
The Silver Mage King turned and looked at Fang Xingjian, "What about you?"
Fang Xingjian gave it some thought before saying, "It's the same for me. As long as we achieve our goal, I don't care how the Miracle World develops in the future. However, I'll still take care of my subordinates."
"Hehe, take care of your subordinates?" The Silver Mage King asked. Then he stared into Fang Xingjian's eyes and said, "The Empire you rule over is still extremely corrupted. It's just being forcibly held up with your powers."
Fang Xingjian frowned and said, "You want to change the entire world?"
"That's right. I want a world where everyone is equal, where there's no pressure for survival, no war, no oppression... where there are rich resources, where everyone can do what they want to do, and where there are no more tragedies, " the Silver Mage King said as he stared at Fang Xingjian.
"Your idea is very good, but as long as humans still have desires, there will still be negative emotions. It would mean that it was impossible for such a world to exist." Fang Xingjian threw a glance at Ulpian. The Silver Mage King's ideas were very similar to how Ulpian's had been in the past.
Ulpian remained silent like he had sunk into his past memories.
"That might be so, but I feel such a country exists." The Silver Mage King's eyes gleamed with an unfathomable glow. It was as if there were endless secrets concealed within it."Alright, I'll take part in the plan that you have."
Fang Xingjian frowned. He could sense that the Silver Mage King was like how Ulpian was in the past—not a person who would give in. Fang Xingjian felt that the Silver Mage King seemed to be hiding something by agreeing so easily.
...
During the time Fang Xingjian and Ulpian were gathering companions in Miracle World...
At the borders of the solar system in Earth's world...
Countless spatial ripples were sent out. Amidst the stacking layers of waves, several huge battleships that could be comparable to the Himalayas gradually appeared.
A woman—who was dressed in a golden gown and was covered in all sorts of metal, gemstones, and photons—wore a grieving expression. Hints of tears could be seen at the corners of her eyes.
"Nothing has been found yet?" She said with a sigh as she stood on the bridge of the ship."My son died. The only son my husband left me with has died. And yet you guys are unable to find even the shadow of the murderer despite spending ten years of time. What on earth are you guys doing?"
The woman's hands clenched two heads—one belonging to a man and the other a woman—and caused them to become slightly deformed. If Fang Xingjian were here, he would be able to recognize the man and woman as the Snake King and Zi Xing who had also successfully cleared the trial after Fang Xingjian defeated the Divine Emperor.
