I changed the world.

Unbeknownst to the three, just as they put down their backpacks and equipment and prepared to rest, on the nearby Zhebi Peak, Zhang Jing withdrew his gaze and slowly walked up the mountain path.

The mountain path today appears largely unchanged from a few days ago, but Zhang Jing knows that a complete transformation has taken place. Just recently, with Zhang Taihe's assistance, he successfully connected a collapsing grotto-heaven to the main world. To draw an analogy, it's somewhat like grafting. Compared to the grotto-heaven, the stability and strength of the main world are undeniably vastly different; therefore, relying on the main world, the grotto-heaven was able to regain its stability.

Of course, compared to a normal cave-heaven, this combined cave-heaven undoubtedly loses some of its original independence, becoming a kind of subordinate space. It can be understood that the cave-heaven is no longer detached from the main world as before, because it relies on the support of the main world for stability. Therefore, the junction of the two worlds naturally becomes a "gate" that allows passage between them. From the perspective of secrecy, although such a cave-heaven is greatly enhanced, it undoubtedly becomes traceable in the eyes of certain beings.

However, this is exactly the effect Zhang Jing wants. As the leading family in the south of Xuanmen, the Celestial Master's Mansion of Danding Mountain undoubtedly has a special status. In his plan, he also needs to give this special status a rational explanation or endorsement.

Therefore, the previous renovations became a crucial step. As for the priest who came up the mountain earlier, it was a spur-of-the-moment decision after he learned that the Bergopelli delegation was visiting Danding Mountain. Of course, it wasn't truly a spontaneous act; he had repeatedly discussed the situation with Zhang Taihe before making a preliminary move in the originally planned gradual implementation of the Western strategy.

After all, when verifying the authenticity of information, humans typically don't simply trust information from a single source, especially in the eyes of some modern professionals. This is the so-called principle of "one piece of evidence is insufficient." In court trials, archaeology, textual research, and scientific studies, experiments are designed or evidence is sought from different angles to prove a conclusion. If only a single source can prove it, then such information is considered questionable.

Therefore, in the early stages of Zhang Jing's planning, he considered the factor that a single piece of evidence is insufficient. For certain important events or information, it was necessary to reveal them in a subtle way. He would not use a simple and crude method of indoctrination, but would try to use the method of "making the other party rack their brains" to "guess" and "confirm", and use some clever events to corroborate the evidence, so as to deepen their self-awareness. Although this indirect method is much more laborious to design, the effect is undoubtedly much better.

After all, humans are such conflicted creatures. Often, the truth that we painstakingly gather information to "judge" or "guess" is considered more credible than the truth that is simply told to us.

At the same time, Zhang Taihe also gave Zhang Jing a suggestion: maintain an air of mystery, keep information fragmented, and avoid rashly disseminating large amounts of information to any group or country. Because systematically fabricated information, if too much is produced, will inevitably create loopholes. The more details there are, the more loopholes are likely to arise. And these loopholes, in the eyes of some, may become questions. Too many such questions will lead to skepticism about the entire event, which is something Zhang Jing absolutely does not want to see.

In contrast, scattered yet subtly connected information is more likely to generate associations, allowing relevant departments or institutions to fill in the gaps in their information based on what they believe to be credible logic. This is actually the least risky scenario. In this case, even if a fragment of information is questioned, the other party will only assume that their information gathering was incomplete or that their interpretation was flawed, rather than questioning the overall source of information. This effectively ensures that everything goes smoothly, and over time, the falsehood may even become the truth...

Zhang Jing took out the Demon Refining Pot, took a sip, and felt his body rapidly recovering before letting out a long breath. Previously, even with his current level of compatibility with the Heavenly Punishment Sword, borrowing its power was still somewhat of a stretch. He imagined that if he could advance further to the Saint level, he would be much more at ease. Now, without the Demon Refining Pot's assistance, he almost suffered internal injuries.

However, it wasn't entirely without gains. After all, experiencing the world from a god's perspective, and even deeply modifying a spatial realm, was an experience worth sacrificing internal injury for. It was a holistic elevation of his spiritual and even spiritual level. Although Zhang Jing felt a strong sense of loss after leaving that state and it took him a long time to recover, he clearly understood that this was an encounter worth cherishing. In fact, it could be said that this encounter would be of unparalleled help to his future advancement to Sainthood!

This experience even gave him a vague glimpse into the hierarchy of deities, allowing him to think more deeply about seemingly metaphysical concepts such as reality, illusion, consciousness, entity, the essence of life, and the existence of deities.

Some thoughts cannot even be put into words, but they certainly exist. Even the ghosts and gods just now, though illusory, Zhang Jing had a vague feeling that they might become real in the future…

Zhang Jing suppressed the surging thoughts in his mind and opened his palm. The next moment, the Wish Book appeared in his hand. (Many friends have said that the Wish Book-related plot is weak, but considering that this part is actually very important, and it can't just end with a simple increase in points each time, I've made a compromise here. Events that came earlier or no longer bring much benefit have been omitted, and their benefits will be directly included in the total points gain. If events that have appeared before are to reappear, I will also significantly compress them.)
