Raising all of humanity: Starting with a backyard pool world

Chapter 59 [The First Stroke on the Blank Scroll]

The three enlightened beings ascended to godhood, established three extraordinary paths, and were eventually tricked and coaxed into "ascending" to the main celestial vat, becoming part of the order organizers and turning into three high-level employees.

The entire process was magnificent, and it also allowed the Primal Spore to successfully unlock the new ability of [Law Projection].

This is a huge success.

However, Xu was not entirely satisfied with the result.

Simply by invoking a tiny bit of the [Forging] authority, he almost completely drained the energy of Lynch, the newly ascended deity, and also felt a significant mental burden on himself.

This input-output ratio is too low.

To truly demonstrate miracles in reality, relying on the existing model is like a drop in the ocean.

"Where is the problem?" Xu Ye fell into deep thought.

He turned his gaze back to Assam's sand table.

In the celestial realm, the three gods returned to their positions, each performing their respective duties.

Within the mortal realm, dwarves climb the sacred mountain of craftsmen, elven apprentices establish academies across the continent, and souls yearning for power journey south to the Blackfire.

In good order.

Dwarves will continue to improve their skills along the path of "craftsmanship".

Elven magic will become widespread within the framework of "rules".

Orcs and other races will be eliminated in the "chaotic" crucible.

Everything is great, too great.

A stable triangular pattern has been formed.

The three extraordinary systems are like three parallel lines that never intersect, each extending to the ends of the earth.

This would greatly reduce the epic conflicts between different civilizations. Without clashes and variables, there would be less fertile ground for the creation of grander epics.

"Stability is the grave of epics," Xu Ye pointed out the crux of the problem.

The growth of primordial spores requires uncertainty; it is the brilliant spark that bursts forth when civilization repeatedly teeters on the edge of destruction and rebirth.

"A new variable must be introduced."

One is not bound by the existing three major systems, and the other starts from scratch, possessing infinitely possible variables.

"A completely new race." Xu made his decision.

This race should be like a blank sheet of paper, upon which any magnificent or crazy picture can be drawn.

A very familiar image appeared in Xu Ye's mind.

human race.

He reviewed his two previous attempts.

For the first time, the heroic civilization of Wise King Kaz, with its overly concentrated individual power, eventually teetered on the brink of losing control as it peered into the truth of the gods, forcing him to activate [Epoch Rewind].

The second time, the three enlightened beings, including Lin Qi, possessed powerful souls and personalities that allowed them to quickly ascend to godhood. However, their excessive power nearly caused the mortal realm to become unbalanced.

"The path of an individual hero is too risky."

"An overly powerful chosen one will eventually turn his spear against me, the creator. I need a foundation, not a double-edged sword."

This time, Xu no longer pursues the ideal of being a hero.

He needs a cornerstone of civilization that is highly collective, highly adaptable, and possesses unlimited potential.

What he wanted was not a savior, but a group of simple, unpretentious "farmers" and "infrastructure maniacs".

"【Heavenly Dao System】." Xu Ye's will sank into the sandbox network. "The existing 【Ascension Interface】has a design flaw. It selects the strong, the individuals, the source of variables, but it is not the cornerstone of stability."

【Received, please provide instructions.】

"Modify it," Xu Ye ordered. "Create a reverse-running [Reverse Ascension Interface]. Its function is not to 'guide' the strong, but to 'plant' mortals."

The functional details of the new interface are as follows:

"First, target selection. Discard all 'heroic' souls who possess strong will, distinct personalities, and an aura of brilliance."

"Second, soul processing. The selected soul is formatted, erasing all acquired memories and personality, retaining only its fundamental instincts such as collective cooperation, establishing order, and affinity for the land."

"Third, precise delivery. Deliver these pure, blank souls into the empty shells of the continent of Asem."

[The instruction has been confirmed. Construction of the reverse ascension interface has begun, with an estimated timeframe of three days.]

Xu was not satisfied with this efficiency, but he had no better solution.

While waiting for the interface modification to be completed, he activated [Soul Vision].

Xu Ye's vision broadened, transcending the boundaries between reality and illusion, and encompassing the entire Earth.

The faint light of countless souls shone and faded across the planet.

Those dazzling lights belong to the most outstanding people, emperors and generals.

Xu Ye's gaze swept directly over them without lingering for a moment.

"It's too bright and too noisy."

On a dry piece of land in Northwest China.

An old farmer who had toiled on the ridges of the fields all his life clutched a handful of dry soil tightly in his hand at the last moment of his life.

His soul, though dimly lit, carried a deep longing for the land.

"Resilient. Qualified." Xu also marked this soul.

The scene shifts to a small town in the south.

A rural teacher was run over by a car while trying to push a student who was rushing into the road.

Her soul fire is gentle and warm, full of qualities of protection and order.

"Order. Qualified."

He then saw a skyscraper under construction.

A simple craftsman fell to his death from scaffolding dozens of meters high.

His entire life was dedicated to building, and his soul was imbued with the purest instinct for collaboration and creation.

"Collaboration. Qualified."

Perhaps it was like a child patiently sifting through seashells on the beach, who, over the next two days, tirelessly and meticulously selected dozens of such souls from around the world.

They were as ordinary as dust in life, and no one remembers them after death.

But those qualities imprinted deep within their souls are the most precious treasures in Xu Ye's eyes.

Seventy-two hours later, the [Reverse Ascension Interface] was completed.

"Execute the 'Sowing' agreement." Xu Ye gave the final order to [Heavenly Path].

The selected souls were absorbed by the powerful force of the interface.

Their memories of their past lives, their emotions of joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness, and their sense of "self" have all been completely erased.

All that remains are the underlying logics that originate from ordinary work and have become instinctive.

These souls, as pure as newborn babies, were projected one by one onto the continent of Ashem.

The location for the deployment was the central river valley, the most expansive, resource-poorest, but also the most promising area at the intersection of the three major racial forces.

It was an untouched virgin land, the last vast blank canvas on the entire continent of Ashem.

On the grassland of the valley, dozens of naked, blank bodies, like the three mythical races before them, all had physical forms evolved from the myriad spirits.

These bodies are simplified versions of humans, lacking any racial talents or inherited power; they represent the most basic human form.

..........

Central Assam Valley.

A gentle breeze swept across the lush green grass, bringing with it the scent of earth and grass.

In a peaceful and serene atmosphere, dozens of naked humans lay on the grass.

A woman's eyelids twitched slightly.

She opened her eyes, her gaze filled with utter confusion.

She saw the azure sky, felt the warmth of the sun, and heard the sound of the wind blowing past her ears.

She sat up, looked down at her hands, and her eyes were filled with a sense of unfamiliarity with her body.

Immediately afterwards, a man next to her also woke up.

Then came the third, the fourth...
