Chapter 1993 Debatable

?Chapter 1993 Debatable

It truly didn't take Ryu much effort to find lanjor at all. But what he was involved in was enough to leave a person without words.

lanjor had ended up in the Human Domain as well, funny enough. Though, maybe it made sense considering he was, obviously, also human.

What was surprising was that he was actually spending his time as an academy instructor.

The Human Domain of this world wasn't as poorly managed as one might have thought. In fact, the Human Emperor had put quite a lot of effort into managing it properly despite the circumstances. He had put in place a top-down education system with several levels, and in order to avoid the prying eyes of others, he didn't seem to be placing much emphasis on cultivation at all.

The humans of this world learned a lot about periphery matters such as history, culture, agriculture, and anthropology.

However, even after observing this for just a small while from a distance, Ryu found himself feeling a rare bit of praise once again.

It was extremely rare that he was impressed by something, so much so that that was the bar one had to cross in order to be his master.

But it seemed that the more he learned about the cultivation Realm, the higher up he went, the more frequently this was happening.

On the surface, it really did seem like the Human Emperor was punting cultivation in favor of a more docile lifestyle for the Human Race. However, in Ryu's eyes, he saw something else.

This system wouldn't generate a large number of warriors. However, given the circumstances, this system would surely have the best chance of raising up the next Human Emperor.

Cultivation could come in many facets. Often, after spending a large amount of time in closed-door seclusion, it was necessary to experience life and accumulate experience before one could continue to proceed smoothly.

The state of mind, one's understanding of the world around you, were all important to cultivation and could even be considered pillars of it itself.

There was a reason that there were stories of absolute geniuses becoming Dao Gods in a single bound by following disciplines such as painting, or even the game of Domain.

Maybe the most important part of cultivation was the state of mind. There was a reason the Dao Heart and the Spiritual Foundation, the latter of which one couldn't even begin to cultivate without — as Ryu would know intimately-were one and the same.

This system wouldn't be able to create a large army of Ilumans, but at this stage, and with the level of suppression they experienced, there was simply no way that the Human Race could ever get away with building up such a large army instead.

So, the Human Emperor used a different approach. Using his Dao and his comprehension of the Human Race, he forged a different method, one that he hoped would blossom a few seedlings that could at least replace him when he was gone, and hopefully, in the future, lay the foundation to break them free from this prison.

As the Human Emperor was observing things, though, he couldn't help but sigh and sigh again. Now that his Dao had improved, he could see several mistakes that he had made in several aspects. 'If I changed this, and made a tweak here, maybe we would have already produced another genius...' 12:07

It was likely that the Fey knew of just how potent the Human Emperor's Dao could be for the Human Race, which was why they kept him away from them for so long. Well, other than the fact they wanted him to use up what remained of his lifespan.

If the Human Emperor had more time to sit by and observe, he would have likely noticed these issues with his system even without the improvement to his breakthrough.

Even so, Ryu was still impressed. The Human Emperor was a man worthy of respect...

Tanjor, though... well, that was debatable.

Part of the reason the Human Emperor was sighing was that lanjor was practically raising up an army himself.

The Human Race was greatly dissatisfied with the current state of things. And though this was considered to be the "Iluman" Domain, how could there not be Fey here to monitor things?

Of course, these Fey were supposedly here under the guise of diplomacy, but they mostly spent their days suppressing the Humans and doing as they pleased in a society that wasn't their own.

This bred discontent, and some even harbored hatred for the Human Emperor for not doing enough to protect them. Ironically enough, Ryu had once put the Human Emperor in the very same camp. Though he never expected the Human Emperor to save him like these people did, he had once looked down on the Human Emperor for not even showing up.

Ianjor, though, was doing a bang-up job at reversing all of the Human Emperor's hard work. He had gathered up large segments of this dissatisfied populace and was training them in "secret."

As for why that was in quotations, it was because he was practically an open secret. Ryu could see that not only were most of the Human population aware of it, but so too were the Fey.

The Fey ignored it because this was probably exactly what they wanted. When the population lost trust in the Human Emperor, the only person who was actually wholeheartedly helping them, it would begin the true downfall of the Race. There would simply be no coming back from such idiocy. The Human Emperor didn't seem to mind it. He even blamed himself, thinking that his guardrails simply weren't good enough.

Of course, it was also much easier to be relaxed about it now that he was following Ryu.

Soon, the Human Race would either die out entirely or rise like a phoenix... and the Human Emperor had a feeling that it would likely be the latter that won out.
