1016 Ode to The World

"I have dedicated this ode to our beautiful homeland. Please, enjoy."

Xu Shi's angelic voice reverberated throughout the world, followed by the sound of the guqin.

The sound was slow and peaceful initially, but things immediately changed after she finished speaking. The music created a powerful illusion for anyone listening.

As such, all sentient beings saw a story, no, they experienced the evolution of history. They saw the world in its early stages, full of darkness, chaos, and emptiness. After years of development and creation, the first life forms appeared.

These beings were mighty and noble. Born immortal, they roamed the world without a care.

Despite their mighty strength, they were a peaceful group who spent their time contemplating the laws of Heaven and Earth.

Although their society was highly hierarchical, they got along well and rarely fought on a large scale. This material is derived from n0velbin¶

Everything was proceeding smoothly until a new race appeared-the human race. It was a weak and insignificant race with no powers and a short lifespan. But their appearance changed everything because such a tiny race was destined to be the protagonist of the world.

After the birth of the human race, the music showed their struggle to survive the world back then. The citizens of the Myriad Emperor World saw how their ancestors first created flame, the first time they hunted in the wild or the sea, the first time they made clothes, the first time someone farmed, the first time they discovered the properties of herbs, the first time words were created and recorded - Xu Shi's music showed them a tale of man against nature, and the protagonist was their ancestor.

Anyone listening could feel the terrible environment of ancient times; they could feel the human race's ignorance but desire for knowledge and innovation, they saw how much their ancestors sacrificed to establish a human society and civilization. And having to experience all these things through a song was a sublimating experience to the soul.

But things were not over; on the contrary, it was just the beginning. The song changed tempo and displayed the brutality of the ancient. The overlords at that time would not allow humans to rise. They immediately began a massacre with the sole purpose of eradicating the human race from the world.

The human race only survived because a few of these creatures became sadistic after experiencing their first act of slaughter. So, they chose to secretly enslave large groups of humans for their own cruel amusement. Of course, a few kind individuals among them also saved people because they disagreed with such cruel actions.

That period was a dark time for the human race.

However, they survived and never gave up hope.

The Innate Demon Gods' action did not break their spirit but awakened a collective consciousness among them. They now all had one goal-to break the shackles of slavery and rise to the top of this world.

The next era was peaceful and full of life until one of the chosen human heroes turned on his people. The world suffered another catastrophe while dealing with these madmen, and a long time was needed to recuperate. The era after his disappearance was dull and mediocre, but luckily, that era gave birth to the Heavenly Emperor.

The song ended with all the achievements of the Heavenly Emperor and how the world has changed since then. Once the music stopped playing, there was an eerie silence worldwide as people were still fascinated by the lingering sound of the guqin.

Luckily, the appearance of the Heavenly Dao Eye woke these people up. A small golden orb descended from the sky into the Academy.

Heavenly Court:

Wang Wei opened his eyes, his eyes also still lingering on that song. It was truly a sublimation of the soul to experience the history of the human's rise from its barbaric age to the present.

He even felt the speed of his healing was slightly accelerated.

He looked in the distance as Heavenly Dao awarded Xu Shi and said weirdly: "Did she just create a national anthem for the Myriad Emperor World?"

"It seems so."

"Now I'm a little jealous and angry I didn't think of that."

"You can't have all the good ideas for merit."

"True." He was not a musician, so such a thought never indeed passed his mind. "The song should have other benefits. What are they?"

"Let's see," uttered the clone. "It's a unique Source Technique that grants her a 2% Grand Dao Boost.

3-4% if she plays it while in the Myriad Emperor World or represents it in some capacity. Finally, it can give a minimum of 5% boost if she is in the act of protecting the world from some catastrophe."

"A minimum of 5%?" muttered Wang Wei. "Can only she use it?"

"Before she ascends, yes. And even then, the Academy has to give permission."

Wang Wei sighed, "The Academy people were truly lucky they had someone like Xu Shi to replace Lin Fan. I doubt he could do as good of a job as her."

The destiny of creating the world's national anthem would bless them and even make up for losing the Spirit of the Epoch.

"Emperor Kong might be an individual born with a unique destiny like your Wang Clang," commented the clone.

"Maybe, but even if he is, he still has a long way to go to reach our level."
