I Truly Am The Villian - Chapter 2543
Chapter 2543: Chapter 2542: God-Making, Sealing the Deal
Concerning the concerns of the Hidden Elder, Xu Zimei smiled and said.
“The Divine Continent has billions of people.”
“Although you are the first Enlightenment Man, I believe there will be more and more in the future.”
“Just like bamboo shoots after the spring rain.”
“Do you really think you are that important?”
Xu Zimei was speaking truthfully.
An Enlightenment Man isn’t as vital as imagined.
Unless the other party has reached Full Enlightenment.
Then it’s still very useful to Xu Zimei.
Because the more strong individuals of this level, the stronger the foundation of the Divine Continent.
They can even start to give back to the world.
Of course, while it is easy to gain enlightenment, reaching Perfection is difficult.
Because one must follow their path and persist to reach perfection.
This is a very challenging task.
“Then why did you come to me personally?” the Hidden Elder couldn’t help but ask.
“That’s because I want you to set an example,” Xu Zimei said.
“More people will seek Enlightenment in the future.”
“I believe many will share your concerns.”
“If you can set an example, naturally more people will want to understand the Divine Continent’s Dao.”
This step is very important to Xu Zimei.
If, in the future, everyone reaches the Enlightenment Realm but is unwilling to comprehend the Dao of the Divine Continent.
And instead turn to other worlds.
It would be very disadvantageous for the future development of the Divine Continent.
He can’t recklessly imprison everyone within the world like in the Nine Domains World.
Preventing them from leaving the Divine Continent or even forcibly dictating how they should act.
Then what difference would there be between the Divine Continent and the Nine Domains World?
Moreover, doing so would make it unlikely for the Divine Continent to ever advance to a Giant World.
This would be a self-destructive act.
The individuals within the masses are weak, but when they unite, even Xu Zimei must think twice before acting.
……
“How to set an example?” the Hidden Elder couldn’t help but ask.
“As the first Enlightenment Man, I believe many will look up to you as a goal too.
It’s not impossible for them to idolize you.
“And I need you to convey a certain idea.”
“Protect the Divine Continent, embrace a sense of collective honor.”
Xu Zimei simply stated.
On a smaller scale, a person has a sense of belonging to their family.
If their family is harmed, then they will rise to resist.
On a larger scale, a person will feel a sense of belonging to their country.
If the nation is threatened, they too will join, to defend the home and country.
If we compare the Divine Continent to one’s own country.
Change begins with the mind.
Then this is the best outcome.
People will voluntarily comprehend the Great Dao of the Divine Continent, voluntarily maintain the Divine Continent.
So, whether it’s national reform or dynastic changes.
They should first reach consensus in thought.
Otherwise, they are at best mud-legged, defeated with shallow efforts.
Regarding Xu Zimei’s idea, the Hidden Elder was slightly silent for a moment.
He wasn’t foolish.
Of course, he understood Xu Zimei’s intention in doing so.
So he replied: “I am a person indifferent to fame and fortune, unwilling to wade into worldly affairs.”
“There’s no one truly indifferent to fame and fortune,” Xu Zimei slightly shook his head.
“It’s just that not enough temptations have been presented.”
“People are the core of temptation, all the world’s entanglements are the lines that draw you in.”
“As a Hidden Clan, don’t you want your race to flourish?”
“Don’t you want to achieve eternal fame?”
With just a few words from Xu Zimei, the Hidden Elder fell silent.
Sometimes one must consider oneself.
Sometimes one must also think of those around, even the next generation.
The Hidden Clan is but a small clan.
With my existence, everything can naturally remain peaceful.
But if one day I pass away, what will happen to this clan then?
To ensure the tribe’s survival, it must be strengthened from the root.
Also, eternal fame, who wouldn’t want such a reputation?
So the Hidden Elder kept quiet.
He understood Xu Zimei’s intent, he could create a deity out of himself.
Make himself famous worldwide, then use that fame to change the people’s thoughts.
“Actually…”
Xu Zimei smiled nearby.
“I can create a god, and I can destroy a god.”
“You could be the first Comprehender of the Dao, but others could also be the first Comprehender of the Dao.”
Xu Zimei’s voice was very light.
But the Hidden Elder felt an unspeakable terror.
With me here, how could others be the first Comprehender of the Dao.
Unless…
I no longer exist!
The Hidden Elder deeply glanced at Xu Zimei.
He naturally understood the underlying meaning of this sentence.
Thus said: “I am willing to collaborate with you, so long as you fulfill the promises you’ve just made.”
“Don’t worry, we all have a bright future,” Xu Zimei shrugged and smiled.
……
That afternoon.
Massive merit flowed towards the Hidden Elder and the people of his Hidden Clan.
And the merit of the Heavenly Dao was announced worldwide.
[Once there was the Hidden Elder of the Hidden Clan, the first Comprehender of the Dao on the Divine Continent, who led his clan with a heart toward virtue.
Saving thousands from life-threatening dangers, restoring the world’s balance.
Awarded ten thousand Heavenly Dao Merit points.
Awarding his clan one thousand Heavenly Dao Merit points.]
This announcement resembled a stone stirring up a thousand waves.
So much Heavenly Dao Merit, naturally envied by countless people.
Because over time, everyone learned the benefits of Heavenly Dao Merit.
Even if you don’t use it, it’s a superb protective charm.
It is something of a universal solution.
Of course, within this announcement, some also noted the title of the first Comprehender of the Dao of the Divine Continent.
For a time, discussions were rife.
Many marveled at how someone could cultivate so quickly.
While some had a faint sense of dissatisfaction.
Xu Zimei did not assume that a single announcement could make everyone revere the Hidden Elder.
That would be unrealistic.
And his announcement did not boast overly about the Hidden Elder being the first Comprehender of the Dao.
It was merely mentioned briefly.
Because people have never solely worshipped pure strength.
But rather those with a heart for the world, for the nation and the people.
Only such individuals can become models for the masses.
Yet, many were hearing about the Hidden Elder for the first time.
After all, he was previously reclusive, exceedingly low-key.
But this requires no rush either.
For Xu Zimei had already drafted the subsequent scripts.
Not long after this announcement was made.
Firstly, the biggest tribe of humans in the south encountered a Sea Beast attack.
This Sea Beast had been dormant in the deep sea for countless years, previously never discovered.
Suddenly, one day it awoke and began wreaking havoc around it.
Numerous human warriors rushed to aid but unfortunately couldn’t match this Sea Beast.
For a time, the casualties were immense.
At this moment, the Hidden Elder appeared.
