“If the rules are unfair, it would draw the Samsara’s attention”
“What would happen then?”
“It will awaken to correct the unfair rules-
Gu Qing Shan didn’t finish his statement.
The old pixie said disappointedly: “And here I was thinking about letting the other Chosen Saints’ civilizations beat each other down while we watch on from the sidelines”
Gu Qing Shan replied: “It will be next to impossible for any civilization to be left out of this matter”
He turned his attention towards the ape people in the distance.
Only to see that one of the ape people was sharpening a rock spear by the river.
The more they sharpened it, the more inspired the ape person appeared to be.
It then changed its movements to make the sharpened side even sharper, while leaving the other side thick and heavy.
A simple stone short sword was created.
This was the first true melee weapon within the ape people’s civilization.
The ape person watched its stone short sword for a while before calling out with excitement.
It then ran straight back to the ape people camp.
The rest of the ape people also gathered to see the stone short sword it had made.
Gu Qing Shan turned his attention away and continued to speak:
“—-But your idea did give me a new idea”
“What?” the old pixie asked.
“Chosen Saints are not allowed to personally appear on the battlefield. They can only guide the civilization from the shadow in ensure relative fairness in a clash between civilizations” Gu Qing Shan said.
The old pixie also narrowed his eyes: “Good idea, that way, we’d naturally blend in with the rest of the Chosen Saints; the Heavenly Emperor wouldn’t be able to find us so easily anymore”
Gu Qing Shan put his hand into the void of space again.
Invisible fluctuations began to radiate from his hand.
Soon, as he pulled back his hands, another group of blood red text appeared in the void of space:
[Additional rules have been added to the Samsara Clash for Supremacy:] [Chosen Saints can only guide the progress of civilization in the shadow]
[At certain historic moments, Chosen Saints can only passively support, not directly enter the clash between civilizations. Violators will be removed]
[For Chosen Saints who had only just arrived, the civilizations they lead will be put under temporary protection measures and not required to enter the clash between civilizations]
[The above- ]
– -have been judged as fair and impartial]
The text flickered and swiftly disappeared.
Gu Qing Shan wiped off his hands and smiled in satisfaction.
“It’s done, now all we have to do is watch how these ape people I’ve blessed will continue to develop” he said.
The old pixie also appeared excited and asked: “What kind of civilization will they eventually develop into?”
“Don’t ask me, I don’t know either” Gu Qing Shan replied.
“You granted them so many blessings but didn’t try to lead them in a particular direction?” the old pixie asked in surprise.
“Yeah, I personally think they’ve been given an amply solid foundation, so how they’ll eventually develop will be their decision to make” Gu Qing Shan replied.
The two of them turned their attention back to the ape people camp.
Only to see that the ape person who had been sharpening the short sword by the riverbank was kneeling down, respectfully offering it to the ape people’s tribe leader.
The ape people’s tribe leader observed the short sword for a while, his face growing increasingly more excited.
He then took off a piece of animal bone from his hair and tied it to the stone short sword.
The bone seemed to contain some sort of power.
Once it had been attached to the stone short sword as the hilt, the blade of the short sword began to feel clearly sharper.
The tribe leader raised the short sword and heavily swung it down at a boulder.
The boulder was easily smashed to pieces.
All the ape people cheered.
The old pixie shrugged: “Seems like it’ll be a Savagery civilization”
Savagery civilizations borrow the most ancient forces and spirits that exists in a world to fight.
Gu Qing Shan replied: “That’s not necessarily the case. I gave them over a hundred different kinds of blessings, not only would that grant them more power and wisdom, it will also give them more varied choices to choose from”
As the two of them spoke, another change occurred in the camp.
After pondering for a while, the tribe leader turned towards the crowd and loudly called out something.
The crowd parted.
An ape person shaman walked up to the tribe leader and gave him a simple bow in greeting.
The tribe leader handed the stone sword short to the shaman.
The shaman evaluated the short sword in her hand briefly before saying something to the tribe leader.
The tribe leader nodded.
The shaman then took the short sword away.
She walked into the innermost part of the camp and thrust the short sword into the ground, then sat next to it and fell into thought.
“What is she thinking about?” the old pixie asked.
“Not sure, but since she’s the shaman, she must be the wisest individual in the whole tribe” Gu Qing Shan replied.
The two of them remained hidden while silently observing the ape people shaman.
The sky slowly turned dark.
Then bright again.
Several days had passed.
Finally, the shaman began to move.
She took out a piece of exceptionally sharp rock from her hip and began to carve something onto the short sword at an exceptionally slow pace.
Time slowly passed.
After several hours.
A highly simple, half-picture, half-word pattern had been carved onto the short sword.
The shaman breathed heavily due to the fatigue.
She then raised the short sword-
Fwoom!
A weak burst of flame radiated from the stone short sword.
“”lt’s Magic!’”‘
Gu Qing Shan and the old pixie both exclaimed.
The flame illuminated the ape people shaman’s face, as well as the tears of joy that ran down her face.
The shaman raised the short sword and loudly called out. 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝙚𝒘𝙚𝒃𝙣𝓸𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝓶
The tribe leader soon arrived.
He saw the flaming stone short sword in the shaman’s hands immediately as he did.
The tribe leader was evidently excited as well and loudly said something.
3 months later.
All of the most powerful warriors of the ape people tribe had each been equipped with a flaming stone short sword.
Wild animals are afraid of fire.
So the ape people have had no trouble in any of their recent hunts.
Food was now enough, abundant even.
The ape people was supplied with sufficient nutrients, allowing them to become both physically and spiritually more potent.
So some of them began to covet for more.
Today, before a hunt, one of the ape people brandished their flaming stone short sword and waved it in front of the tribe leader.
The tribe leader was indifferent.
The ape person became even more excited and gathered their friends, all brandishing their flaming stone short swords together.
The tribe leader simply watched this with a cold gaze, waiting for more and more people to join their group.
Up until nobody else participated.
At this point, the tribe leader stood up and scoffed before taking off his stone armor, tossing it to the side.
The stone armor flew in air——
And fell down.bender
Dooooon!!!
The earth trembled, kicking up a huge dust storm in the valley.
The tribe leader’s gaze was cold as he casually cracked his neck and wrists.
His muscles began to bulge, causing his entire physique to visibly grow.
After a few moments.
The tribe leader charged towards the rebel zroup like a wolf among a flock of sheep.
The rebel leader tried swinging their flaming stone short sword- – – – –
The tribe leader shifted his body and moved his feet, somehow appearing behind the rebel despite retreating backwards.
His hand formed into a palm strike and swiftly struck the back of the rebel’s neck.
The rebel’s head immediately exploded.
“Martial Arts- – – – It’s a Martial Arts technique!” the old pixie called out.
“It was” Gu Qing Shan affirmed him.
The tribe leader’s strike was clearly practiced, putting it well into the realm of a martial arts technique.
He would be able to follow down that path to eventually break the void of space with sole martial prowess.
In the camp, the tribe leader exerted his might and quickly killed off the rest of the rebels.
But as he was about to kill the last of them, he faced some trouble.
Seeing that they were about to be killed, the last ape person rebel clenched their teeth and lit a pouch of rock fragments on their hip.
Boom!
A loud explosion.
The tribe leader’s body was stuck full of rock fragments.
The rest of the ape people in the camp became panicked and hurriedly scattered.
The old pixie muttered in disbelief: “What the hell… that explosion was Technology..
“It was” Gu Qing Shan affirmed him again.
The old pixie jumped to his feet and exclaimed: “First it was Savagery, then Magic, Martial Arts, Technology, which path is this civilization actually progressing towards?”
“I have no idea either, we just have to continue watching” Gu Qing Shan replied.
Back in the camp.
The tribe leader had fallen down and was moaning in pain.
The shaman swiftly approached him while holding a stone dagger imbued with cold aura.
She loudly laughed, then spoke in an evidently sarcastic tone.
-it turns out she was the rebel leader all along!
The tribe leader abruptly stopped moaning and got up to his feet, trying to accurately determine the shaman’s position.
The shaman didn’t try to approach any closer.
She used the stone dagger in her hand to pierce a small wooden doll in her hand.
The tribe leader suddenly screamed out loud and laid motionlessly on the ground, almost as if he had been pierced by something.
“A basic Mysticism curse” the old pixie’s face twitched.
Gu Qing Shan said: “Shh, keep watching”
Seeing the tribe leader’s terrible state, the shaman laughed again.
She pointed at the tribe leader and cursed at him while raising the dagger in her hand again.
Shuu——
A pike had pierced through her.
The shaman was dead.
A female ape person quickly tossed the pike aside and ran forward, loudly calling out towards the tribe leader.
– – -this was his daughter.
Hearing the female ape person’s voice, the tribe leader endured his wounds and said something to her in very clear words.
The daughter nodded, then resolutely responded.
She went to the tribe’s pray-keeping area and dragged a living deer until it was in front of the tribe leader.
The daughter held the deer down and slit its throat, then sprinkled the blood from the deer’s head onto the tribe leader’s body before laying its entrails in a circle around the tribe leader.
She then began to dance around the tribe leader while chanting something out loud.
A miracle then occurred.
Following the daughter’s dance, something seemed to be manifesting in the air.
These ‘things’ were responding to her dance.
“Spirits! They’re spirits! This female ape person is actually capable of communicating with spirits, how incredible” the old pixie exclaimed.
The deer blood that had been sprinkled onto the tribe leader began to sizzle and boil off into mist, swiftly evaporating away.
The tribe leader’s wounds were immediately healed by half.
The old pixie sat back down and muttered with a blank voice.? “How come even a seed of Occultism had formed here…”
Gu Qing Shan’s eyes flickered as he muttered: “She’s the most talented individual within this whole tribe”
“What would happen next?” the old pixie asked in an exhausted tone.
“Not sure” Gu Qing Shan replied.
Over 100 blessings had causes so many changes in an ignorant primitive tribe.
It’s truly impossible to tell what kind of path would this ape people tribe eventually reach..
