Chapter 401 The Truth of the Eternal Primordial World
Understanding the unique nature of the Administration Headquarters also explains why there's no concern about the branches getting out of control. This is because not all branches are located in worlds like Li Muyang's main world, which are themselves advanced Great Thousand Worlds.
Ultimately, it's only a small minority.
Most of them are actually similar to a hodgepodge world, or a world with a single storyline, or a subordinate world of the Eternal Primordial World. They are combined to form the Lesser Thousand, Middle Thousand, and Greater Thousand Worlds.
There are even parallel worlds involved!
The true purpose of the Time and Space Administration is to maintain order in the worlds under its jurisdiction, including parallel worlds!
How exactly did the existence of the Eternal Primordial World come about? When Li Muyang was deceiving the Immortal Star God earlier, he said that eternity is not immutable, and he was right about that. Therefore, the so-called Eternal Primordial World is not immutable either, nor is it without immeasurable calamities or world-destroying calamities. Rather, these calamities have been dispersed among his countless small worlds.
By doing this, the Eternal Primordial World suffered fewer calamities, and the Small World, which was dependent on the Eternal Primordial World for its existence, now also had the opportunity to advance, which can be considered a win-win situation.
If they do not rely on anything else, these small worlds are destined to perish in the chaos. Without external forces, they will never have the possibility of advancement. However, the power of the calamity from the primordial world has become their opportunity for advancement.
The crisis of world destruction is inevitable, but the opportunity for promotion is rare and hard to come by.
These worlds under their command are endless, but they must be prevented from being completely destroyed. A significant reduction in their number would also affect the normal operation of the Eternal Primordial World. Therefore, the Time and Space Administration was created to prevent too many worlds from being destroyed and unable to bear the enormous causal burden of the Eternal Primordial World.
The Eternal Primordial World... is not an absolutely perfect world. It is true that there are no immeasurable calamities or world-ending calamities, but relatively speaking, there is much less sense of crisis. All living beings are very indifferent, and those with passion do not stay in the Primordial World. However, this is also good. With a group of immortal beings having low desires, the world will be quite stable.
The relationship between the Eternal Primordial World and its subordinate smaller worlds is not one of one-sided exploitation; rather, it is more of a mutually beneficial one.
Besides ensuring that the small worlds are not completely destroyed, what remains is the eternal primordial world. While dispersing the power of the calamity, the power of the calamity will also generate and radiate the origin, causing the small worlds under its command to upgrade!
Upgrading the small world also benefits the Eternal Primordial World.
Although the upper limit of a small world can almost never surpass the Eternal Primordial World, the formation of an Eternal Primordial World involves countless difficulties and tribulations, making it an infinitely close probability of impossibility.
Moreover, the Eternal Primordial World has never prevented the emergence of a new Eternal World; on the contrary, it is quite happy to do so!
Helping a small world upgrade is not guaranteed to succeed; the probability of failure is much higher than the probability of success!
On the contrary, with the protection of the eternal primordial world, even if the small world fails to advance, there is still a chance to start over, so that it will not be completely annihilated in the chaos.
The true high-ranking figures of the Eternal Primordial World, those Primordial Grand Luo Immortals, did not intentionally suppress the advancement of smaller worlds. On the contrary, they greatly hoped for the emergence of new Eternal Worlds!
Unfortunately, I never had that opportunity and never saw a world with hope.
Besides the worlds under the jurisdiction of the Eternal Primordial World, some high-ranking officials of the Administration Bureau also began to expand their territory, that is, to explore the depths of chaos. In this process, they discovered some other worlds, some powerful and some weak, such as the main world where Li Muyang was located.
It's not a world that everyone can govern, and the reasons for management and assistance are not determined by strength or weakness.
The specific factors can be determined by whether or not one finds it pleasing to the eye.
Because they basically don't believe that a second eternal primordial world will appear! So all other worlds can only be considered subordinate.
It's like a loan. I help you grow and become stronger, providing start-up capital and helping you overcome difficulties. In return, you help share the burden, which is like interest. If you overcome the difficulties and your world level advances, it's a win-win situation. If you don't overcome them, then I can only take back your principal and interest with tears in my eyes.
Simply put, if the calamity is overcome, the Eternal Primordial World will benefit; if it is not overcome, the Eternal Primordial World will not lose out, and the smaller world will still have a chance to start over.
This is the Bureau's biggest business!
For some unknown reason, the Administration did not directly send high-ranking officials to the main world where Li Muyang was located. Instead, it chose to have Li Muyang's boss, Little Golden Man, find and cultivate a new branch leader in the main world, and incidentally, to protect this world and help it successfully overcome the tribulations of world advancement. Yes, the one they chose was Li Muyang.
Now it's clear that Li Muyang's plan was aligned with the Bureau's scheme.
Li Muyang wants to save the world and overcome the cataclysmic crisis. The Administration Bureau wants to cultivate a new advanced world. The specific reasons are unclear, but it is not out of malice. Rather, it is to cultivate a like-minded fellow Daoist.
As for whether they are heartless and ungrateful, we must understand that even in the eternal world, there are strong and weak!
A group of Grand Luo Immortals, quite confident!
If they were to advance any further, they would reach the Chaos Realm! That's equivalent to a Great Dao Saint! Pangu created the world and received the favor of the Great Dao, but even he could only break through to the Chaos Realm!
At least all these years have passed, and none of the great supernatural beings in the eternal wilderness have yet been able to rival them.
The Great Dao may have no end, but beneath it, they have already reached the pinnacle! Naturally, they have nothing to fear!
As for the Great Dao? Heh, let's not even talk about the almost non-existent possibility of encountering it. Even if we did, what ability would we have to resist whatever they wanted to do?
On the other hand, Xuan Yue and Chief Inspector Izumi didn't understand the intricacies of the Management Bureau, nor did they know the difference between rule cultivators and ordinary cultivators. However, Chief Inspector Izumi discovered a very serious problem in the contract given by Li Muyang!
That means Li Muyang seems to have given Xuan Yue a lot of authority! However, the problem is! Right now, this so-called Management Bureau branch only has one official employee besides Li Muyang, the branch owner! And they're still carrying out a secret mission!
Therefore, Li Muyang is a commander without troops!
This branch of the Administration Bureau is just an empty shell! Everything needs to be rebuilt!
So, whatever treatment Li Muyang gives Xuan Yue is still just an empty promise! And the more authority he delegates, the more Yi Zhi Zongsi suspects... whether Li Muyang wants to be a hands-off manager, and once he gets Xuan Yue to join the Management Bureau, he'll hand over all the affairs to him.
What? You're asking me how I know?
Uh... those who know, know! They're pretty much the same!
Otherwise, how do you think Chief Inspector Izumi could manage to have such a large company and still have time to stay by Gengetsu's side?
Li Muyang, whose thoughts had been exposed, was a little embarrassed. How could he continue to deceive him?
Xuan Yue was also speechless. Such a big organization, are you really that confident? Aren't you afraid I'll take over?
"Ahem, because the Bureau's system still prioritizes strength!" Li Muyang coughed lightly, deciding to take the initiative to speak up, otherwise the situation would continue to be awkward: "I know my own limitations! I'm not suited to managing a large organization; I'm not good at handling the details!"
Xuan Yue looked disgusted: "...To describe laziness in such a refined and elegant way! It's perfectly natural! I admire you! Is this the reason for your high cultivation level?"
Li Muyang (???): "...That hurts! Bro!"
"Okay, to be honest, I have connections with the higher-ups."
Xuan Yue nodded, "I see!"
Seeing that he believed this reason so easily, Li Muyang was now puzzled: "Why do you start believing me now?"
Holding the contract, Xuan Yue complained, "Because I had someone study it for a long time and finally came to the conclusion that your bureau's investigation is relatively strict. At least for some corrupt behavior, they have almost zero tolerance. If you are set up by your subordinates, you, as the leader, will have to take the blame! You may be eliminated immediately!"
"I don't believe you don't understand these things! You can easily delegate authority to me? Aren't you afraid I'll take advantage of you? It's no surprise you'll get taken advantage of with this kind of delegation! It would be strange if you didn't! In this situation, you're either an idiot or you're fearless."
Li Muyang sighed deeply: "You're overthinking it! Your understanding is still limited by your limited experience! You need to understand that in our Eastern cultivation system, there's a term called 'fortune telling and divination,' which is far superior to your ability to predict the future! You can only see the unfolding of the Heavenly Dao, not truly predict future destinies!"
"Once you exceed the calculations of Heaven, your ability to foresee the future becomes useless; I think you've already witnessed this."
"You want me to take the blame? The premise is that I didn't know! The Bureau has the means to reverse time, so how are you going to mess with it? Even if you really can set up a trap, in the end, it's still whoever did it and whoever is responsible. At most, I'll be considered for dereliction of duty, plus I have connections above me... um, you know what I mean."
Xuan Yue's expression froze. So this is how it can be done?
He thought that as long as he had enough authority, he could use the management bureau to hide it from his superiors. But... the higher-ups had the ability to use overwhelming force. No matter what you did, their bad intentions would be detected in no time!
"The Administration Bureau isn't just a profit-driven organization; it's a welfare-oriented platform! Its purpose is to cultivate strong individuals. The so-called branches are simply the headquarters delegating authority to allow talented individuals to build their own teams. And in my world, I'm currently the only one left, meaning my only competitor is myself! There's plenty of room for growth!"
Li Muyang shrugged speechlessly, but secretly chuckled to himself. This Xuan Yue probably overused her two abilities of mind control and precognition, and now she wants to calculate everything perfectly. This is a common symptom of people who like to pry into fate, which is quite normal.
But how many plans can be perfect? The more you try to control your destiny, the more you will be controlled by it. That's why many cultivators of the Path of Destiny seem abnormal, and a large number of them have been assimilated by the Great Dao of Destiny.
However, Xuan Yue's worries were not unfounded. Even the most meticulous plans can have flaws, which is why Li Muyang needed to find someone to check and balance him.
