it wasn’t that jiang li deliberately sought out the yin yang heaven seal, but rather, it was conspicuously in sight.
there was a seal floating in the air, flying and sobbing loudly all at once. the sound of its wailing was so loud that it could be heard hundreds of miles away, and it flew slowly as if
they weren’t sure if it was because such behavior was commonplace in this world, or for some other reason, but a flying person and a flying seal didn’t attract any attention at all.
when jiang li used his divine sense to scan the area, he discovered that the people of this world were rather strange—almost devoid of all emotions. everyone was busy carrying out their duties and responsibilities, apathetic to the outer world’s affairs. their conversations revolved solely around improving work efficiency with no regard to gossip, news, or national affairs.
even at rest, they were doing so merely to perform better at work. they had no desires, no interest in immersive games, movies, novels, comic books, or tv series.
surgeons operated diligently, oblivious to the potential consequences. whether patients lived or died left the surgeon completely unfazed, as their sole intent was to fulfill their responsibilities as doctors. actresses were expressive during their performances, but as soon as the shoot ended, they wore blank expressions as if the exuberant character they had just portrayed wasn’t them. nurses lifted babies out of their incubators with neither joy for the new life nor revulsion for the travail they had just witnessed.
people walking on the street were only focused on reaching their destinations. they could not care less about what happened on their way, whether someone was flying or killing.
thus, everyone in this world had a unified dress code: silver jumpsuits. jiang li’s divine sense revealed intricate circuits inside the jumpsuits that aided in lifting heavy things, controlled temperature, relieved fatigue, and more.
their food comprised tasteless nutrient meals that could provide for an entire day’s worth of necessities. each person only needed to eat once a day.
a robotic world devoid of emotions— that was jiang li’s initial impression of this strange world.
can living beings truly lack emotions? jiang li didn’t believe it.
after carefully scanning several people with his divine sense and observing the birth of babies, he finally discovered the cause of their emotionless state.
people provided their reproductive cells to hospitals, which would then alter the genes in those cells to suppress emotional genes, followed by selective breeding. the resulting embryos were nurtured in a nutrient solution. such a baby would be born without any emotions, and any crying would only serve to open their airways.
jiang li couldn’t understand why the people of this world would intentionally make themselves unfeeling. there had to be a hidden reason. “why would master be in such a world?” the yin yang heaven seal was bewildered. before it developed spiritual intelligence, it had a vague impression of the outside world, so it naturally recognized elder zhang cun.
from what it remembered, its master was a genuine, emotional person who hid nothing, be it laughter or anger. the people of this world were polar opposites of his philosophy!
“go to the library.”
jiang li knew that as long as he went to the library and used his divine sense to scan the books, he would completely understand this world.
he used his divine sense to envelop the entire city, but he couldn’t find any place storing books.
