"Girl, would you like to know the Ascension Guide?"

"..."

In broad daylight, in a deserted place.

Chen Chunan stood by the roadside, dressed in rags, his hair had not been washed for half a month, and his whole body was fragrant with earth.

His expression was serious, his tone was mysterious, and he kept rubbing his right hand in his arms, making him look like a suspicious person.

"It's not convenient to talk here, why don't we add a 'Xian Xin' to talk in detail? I am a professional in Ascension Guidance..."

After waiting for a long time, Chen Chunan finally took out a pile of crumpled straw paper from his arms, with a piece of turbid jade sandwiched in the middle.

When he carefully took out the jade and was about to hand it out, the woman in front of him suddenly disappeared.

Chen Chunan froze in place for a moment, then swallowed the words as they reached his lips.

Seeing that the other party was running faster than a rabbit, without even a trace of his back being left behind in the blink of an eye, he couldn't help but sigh, and the boredom in his heart became more intense.

"Alas, when will this kind of day end..."

As a feeling of depression surged into his heart, Chen Chunan almost lost his temper, dropped the papyrus in his hand and walked away.

But his remaining sanity allowed him to calm down quickly.

"No, I can't give up now. Today is the last chance. If I don't succeed, I can only..."

Chen Chunan muttered to comfort himself while putting the jade stone back into his arms.

This small setback is not enough to make him give up. Anyway, he is spending his time here today, and he has to wait until someone comes.

In this way, Chen Chunan squatted on this flat Sanhe dirt road and waited for a full hour, during which not a single figure appeared.

In the end he despaired, that was the last person just now.

You must know that this is the only official road within a hundred miles. Other roads are either abandoned or occupied by bandits and bandits, which are very dangerous.

Despite this, there may not be anyone passing by here for three to five days.

Who knows that this is the most backward Xiaqing County among the seventy-two counties in Shengzhou in the Central Region, and it is also the most remote and poorest Qingfeng Town among Xiaqing County.

The entire town and nearby villages have a combined population of less than 50,000.

And he still lives in Qingshui Village, the most remote village in Qingfeng Town. The village is hundreds of miles away from the nearest official road, and taking the official road to Qingshui Town is even further.

It was almost noon after Chen Chunan finished his daily work. He had to drive hundreds of miles to squat on the official road, and then rush back to the village before it got dark.

There will be monsters around here at night. Even if you take the official road with inns every fifty miles, it is extremely dangerous. If you are not careful, you will die without a burial place.

Except for immortal cultivators, I am afraid that no mortal dares to risk his life and rush on the road at night.

When he thought of this, his chest felt a little stuffy, as if there was a 10,000-kilogram weight pressing on it.

"Maybe this is life..."

Chen Chunan muttered gloomily and stopped thinking about it.

During this period, the hot sunshine had made the coarse linen clothes he wore look like a steamer, and his whole body was dripping with sweat, which was very uncomfortable.

Raising his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead, Chen Chunan squinted his eyes and looked up at the sky.

In the cloudless sky, the three suns, large, middle and small, form a tripod, and the heat they continuously release is enough to make the air suffocating to the point of suffocation.

This is undoubtedly not telling him that this is no longer the world he is familiar with.

As the most prosperous and vast continent of the human race, Shengzhou in the Central Region has millions or even tens of millions of immortal cultivators.

However, Qingshui Village where he lives has less than ten households, with a total population in their early fifties, and he is even the youngest among them.

As for the immortal cultivators, there is not even one person there. Even if you go to Qingfeng Town, you may not meet one.

This is exactly the reality he is currently living in.

Chen Chunan calculated that he had been in this unknown world for about a week, and he was basically familiar with this pastoral life of "working at sunrise and resting at sunset".

But there is always a knot in his heart, that is...

"Tiandao, are you still there?"

Seeing that no one was paying attention, Chen Chunan found a place to sit in the shade of a cool tree and asked in his heart.

"In."

An indifferent mechanical sound without any emotion quietly sounded in his mind.

"Tiandao, open the system administrator interface."

"Yes."

As soon as he finished speaking, a translucent window appeared in front of his eyes.

【Tiandao System 1.0】

[Current area: Shengzhou, Zhongyu (Xiaqing County)]

【Total population: 11.45 million】

[Total number of immortal cultivators: 110,000]

[Sect cultivators: 45,000]

[Scattered immortal cultivators: 65,000]

【Conquered Loose Cultivators: 0】

[Note: The total number of casual cultivators is about to exceed the capacity limit of Shengzhou (Xiaqing County) in the Central Region, and unrest is expected to occur in 358 days.]

Attached to these textual data is a detailed line chart, which clearly shows that the number of casual practitioners in Xiaqing County is gradually increasing.

The cause of this series of problems is exactly...

"Is the spiritual energy exhausted...?" Chen Chunan stared at the data on the panel and muttered to himself.

Since Empress Bingyu disappeared a thousand years ago, the immortal cultivators in Shengzhou in the Central Region are no longer under the control of the Immortal Emperor.

Afterwards, the Immortal Emperors of the four continents, Beiyuan Hanzhou, South Desert Desert Continent, West Wuhun Continent, and East Lai Peng Continent, disappeared one after another.

The long-repressed immortal cultivators completely lost their restraints and began a thousand-year carnival.

However, this brings not only destruction, but also a series of problems - the sharp increase in the number of cultivators and the gradual depletion of spiritual energy, leading to the early arrival of the Age of End of Dharma.

The increasingly thinner spiritual energy affects the environment of the entire world of immortality. Spiritual grass withers, spiritual beasts die, spiritual veins are cut off, and spiritual stones are in short supply.

The lawless cultivators finally tasted the consequences. They tried to save it, but it was too late.

The thinner the spiritual energy, the more difficult it is to practice, and the competition among the major cultivating sects has become more and more fierce. Most of the cultivators with insufficient qualifications have been expelled from the sect, become casual cultivators, or even become bandits.

.

Those who are lucky enough to survive are just hanging on.

Chen Chunan has never experienced this ridiculous period, so it is difficult for him to empathize with it, but he can vaguely feel that the world is gradually collapsing.

This is also the reason why he was summoned by Heaven, with the purpose of subduing the unruly cultivators and ultimately saving this broken world.

If you are an ordinary person, you may feel that there is a long way to go; but Chen Chunan is not ordinary. He is a man who has often been involved in various strange incidents since he was a child. It can even be said that he is used to it.

Even so, he had to pay attention to the countdown that appeared in the lower right corner of the window. Every morning when he woke up, he would silently calculate how many days he had left.

Very good, less than four hours left.

"Tiandao, come out of here! Why do you want to trick me when I'm so lucky to help you?! You bully honest people, right?" Even though he was used to being tricked, Chen Chunan couldn't help it anymore and cursed loudly.

.

When he obtained the Tiandao system, Tiandao only gave him seven days.

If within seven days, he fails to complete the goal set by the way of heaven and conquer any loose cultivator, then those who are waiting for him will fall into the animal realm and experience the pain of being the only cause for life after life.

This is simply more uncomfortable than killing him. It would be more enjoyable to let him lead the old, weak, sick and disabled people in the village to achieve enlightenment and ascend.

After two seconds of silence, Tiandao gave the answer.

"Because you are still in the internship period, you will no longer receive any punishment after you become a regular employee."

"Internship period! I went to Te Miao's internship period. Before I traveled through time, I was about to become a full-time employee, but after traveling through time, I regressed. What happened? Tiandao, you must give me an explanation!"

At this point in the conversation, Chen Chunan already seemed to be breaking the rules.

Under the excitement, my thoughts became more and more confusing.

There were less than four hours left, where was he going to find some casual cultivators? In this corner of the ravine, cultivators were rarer than those rare and rare beasts.

"That...that..."

"Hey, I don't believe in evil anymore. I squatted until night and still didn't meet a passing cultivator."

"Excuse me..."

"Hmm... Actually, it's not bad to become a just-in-law in the next life. I just hope I don't get a middle part."

"Um...did you hear me?"

"Wow!"
