Chapter 137: Having an Idea of Knowing Heaven's Will

  The birth of the new world represents a change in the global pattern, but for the Great Tang Empire, other continents are far behind! In terms of military strength and living standards, other countries can't even catch up with the Great Tang even if they ride rockets.

  The strongest of these continents have a small gap in their cultivation, but their way of cultivating is really looked down upon by the Great Tang! At best, they are just some side doors and left paths. The early stages of their realm improve rapidly, but when entering the Qitian realm, it's slow like a snail! Although the strongest of these countries have entered the Star God Realm, compared to the Great Tang, they are just crawling in the middle and upper levels. Each layer of cultivation barrier is not generally strong compared to the Great Tang!

  The barrier to entering the Tongtian realm from the Demon God realm is like a heavenly moat, suppressing most of the cultivators in those countries and making it extremely difficult for them to advance. However, the Great Tang does not have this concern, as their life-and-death accompanying beast cultivation method allows them to advance without any obstacles as long as they meet the energy requirements within their bodies.

  The development of technology has lost its due deterrent force in the face of this new changing world, and as a result, technology is basically extended in the direction of serving military power, degenerating into a special service-oriented technology.

  Until now, people still can't figure out what kind of strongman Li Yuanba belongs to. Where there are people, there is vanity, and in the peaceful days of the Tang Dynasty, people were bored and ranked the strongmen, but Li Yuanba was not among them! The ranking was established, but none of those on the list dared to acknowledge it! Because at this time, Li Yuanba was very bored, and he, who had completely detached himself from the politics of the Tang Dynasty, seemed to have become a troublemaker, like a child, with unpredictable emotions. Occasionally hearing about the rankings in the Tang Dynasty, he went through each of those on the list and "helped" them improve their martial arts skills, under the guise of "assisting" them!

  This person has a very interesting cycle, from crying loudly when they came into the world, to being mischievous and naughty in their childhood years, with a mind full of thoughts and a strong tendency to jump around; entering youth and adulthood, their personality suddenly becomes calm and introverted, only occasionally revealing a childish behavior; but after entering old age, during idle times, they basically have the temperament of an old child, as if they had returned to the mentality of their childhood years, making people wonder!

  Li Yuanba's hazy lifespan finally appeared in his heart at the age of 300, giving him a kind of rebirth illusion. The suppressed childlike heart finally burst out, completely unshackled. He opened up his mind and played freely in this new world, discarding all his previous views on life and starting anew!

  He now loves driving a giant mech flying around everywhere, and whenever he comes across something interesting, he stops to have fun.

  Li Yuanba's unruly behavior played a crucial role in maintaining the peace and stability of the Tang Dynasty, as no one dared to expose their own ambitions. This led to the smooth development of the Tang Dynasty, but lacked passion!

  In the boring Li Yuanba's heart, he directed the Tang Dynasty to hold a martial arts competition of a large-scale tournament, and in this tournament, the ranking of the strong Tang Dynasty was born. This kind of competition, under Li Yuanba's call, basically represented the true ranking of the Tang Dynasty's martial power, and no strong man dared to disobey Li Yuanba's call not to participate!

  Li Yuanba set a simple rule for the tournament: First, as long as you don't kill your opponent, it's not considered a foul; Second, begging for mercy and falling off the stage means giving up the match by default; Third, all strong men of the Tang Dynasty must participate; Fourth, the tournament is held once every three years!

  No profit no early rise, the prize of this game is also very rich. Moreover, the final ranking warrior can get the opportunity to be awarded by the war god in person.

  The first few matches went smoothly, and the strong players signed up enthusiastically. They didn't even need to be reminded to sign up. But when it came to the seventh match, problems arose!

  The seven games were held, and after twenty years, the people of Datang almost forgot the existence of the war god Li Yuanba. Every day's discussion was about the strong ranking on the rise in the tournament, which made Li Yuanba a bit uncomfortable.

  It's clear that Li Yuanba is unhappy, and someone is in trouble. With the heart of a child, Li Yuanba somehow managed to take care of the top ten strongmen one by one after the seventh game. Amidst everyone's shock, Li Yuanba started stuttering and said a few words before immediately explaining with a proud expression: "This king is very dissatisfied with the quality of the martial arts competition in recent years! Look at what you've all become! Your realm has improved so slowly, how can you follow me to fight in the future?! With just this bit of martial power, it's embarrassing to go out! From now on, this king will personally test your martial power after each game. If you don't meet my requirements, you'll have a good time!"

  Li Yuanba said with a hint of boastfulness, and then walked away with his head held high. Later, he heard people mentioning his name again, satisfying his vanity. In the subsequent matches, those strong players both loved and feared him, their vanity satisfied by their ranking, but after being satisfied, they were beaten by the War God, losing face completely. If they didn't come, they would be dealt with by Li Yuanba's ruthless methods; if they came and hid their strength, the consequences would be even worse than being beaten by Li Yuanba - they wouldn't be able to get a good ranking, couldn't get rewards, and would be ridiculed and looked down upon...

  Fortunately, the ninth game was disrupted by a war between two continents, otherwise those who entered the Star God Realm would have been beaten up by the War God.

  The descendants of the royal family, Li's family, were very prosperous. Li Yuanba, who had not remarried for a long time, now had a change of heart again. If Li Yuanba still didn't realize his own lifespan, he would rather die than remarry and suffer that heartbreaking pain again. But after learning about his own lifespan, these years couldn't be spent in loneliness! Li Yuanba's current descendants were basically cut off for one generation, all the sons had passed away, leaving only him, an old monster, still stubbornly alive. Looking around, almost the entire Tang Dynasty had changed to a new generation, not a single person from his time was left, and Li Yuanba didn't even have someone of the same age to talk to, how could he adapt?

  Then the lively and boring Li Yuanba put down his face and wanted to find another lover to spend the rest of his life with. Two hundred years is almost the maximum lifespan of all warriors in this world, even those who reached the Tongtian realm in the past have passed away around two hundred years old, which made Li Yuanba think of finding someone to accompany him until the end of his life.

  Li Yuanba's appearance has not changed in the slightest, except for the increasingly intense and profound look in his eyes. He still looks like he is under twenty years old! At his age, he has no interest in superficial social interactions or physical intimacy. Every night when it is quiet, Li Yuanba can only lie on the rooftop, reminiscing about the happy times of his past. The loneliness and silence are suffocating, and his children and grandchildren dare not casually approach him, which makes Li Yuanba's melancholy even more unbearable!

  Li Yuanba had the intention to find one, but at this time, the woman was several generations different from him, which made him feel hesitant about who to approach! Getting old, getting old, do I still have to compete with my grandchildren for food?

  "Damn it, I've got to find a foreign wife!" Li Yuanba decided. The reason he couldn't bring himself to do it was that he didn't have the idea of lowering his own status by several levels. Just imagine, if Li Yuanba really wanted to find a woman to spend the rest of his life with, what would her parents be like? What would they call him? It's a problem! However, even if Li Yuanba did look for someone, he wouldn't do it casually. He set his sights on foreign countries first, which would avoid the possibility of him getting emotional to some extent. If by chance he met a woman in Datang who could make him emotional, Li Yuanba wasn't afraid - he'd put aside his old face!

  The outbreak of war on the Transcontinental and Eastern Europe was a blessing for Li Yuanba. This greatly increased the possibility that Li Yuanba might find a young woman without elders to take care of.

  Of course, this was Li Yuanba's best idea before he met any woman. Now Li Yuanba is almost mentally weak due to his generation problem. He wants face and also wants a wife!

  Li Yuanba, who had no idea where his wife was, announced that the martial arts competition would be postponed and flew away from Datang with a burning heart, driving his mecha in a flashy manner.

  Li Yuanba has been hiding in the Great Tang since this new world was formed, and he has never left. As for the intelligence of various continents, although some are understood, they are not very clear. According to the map inside the mecha, Li Yuanba's destination is the Transcendence Continent.

  This self-proclaimed divine continent, in Li Yuanba's imagination, should be like the world of Olympic gods in his previous life. Since it is called a god, there must be goddesses and so on...

  At this time, several continental nations were on high alert against other continents. Due to the rebirth of the world, several continents were conserving their strength and did not dare to easily set foot outside their borders. The changes in the world had completely destroyed the communication equipment of the previous continents, and Datang had also abandoned satellite surveillance equipment, focusing on researching the possibility of designing a space station. Therefore, several continents secretly dispatched scouts to gather information about other countries' situations, and under the vigilant state of all nations, they basically existed only as vague concepts for each other. However, the current several continents have a clear understanding that Datang, the former overlord, is still as strong as before, because after the formation of the new world, only Datang's warships could cross the ocean and reach their coastlines, and after decades of development, they may have gained the strength to attack other continents.

  Transcontinental accidentally obtained a method of domesticating flying beasts, and along the island connection line, after exploring the Eastern European continent, for some reason, it declared war on Eastern Europe.

  Li Yuanba flew for a few days, and under the boredom, he suddenly had an idea to lower his mech to the sea surface to play a game of surfing. Unexpectedly, just as he started playing, a huge mouth burst out from the bottom of the sea and swallowed the over ten-meter-tall mech in one gulp. The massive teeth, controlled by enormous force, crushed the mech into fragments with just a few bites!

  Li Yuanba, who burst out of the sea floor, casually brushed aside a few strips of thin flesh on his head and looked helplessly at the endless ocean: "Damn it, I've turned around now, which way should I go?"
