After observing the cottage for a brief moment, the group of three entered it. To their surprise, there was nothing much inside besides a cultivation mat along with a small table.
However, all of them could feel the [Emperor Dao Rhymes] enveloping the entire room, which meant that whichever Great Emperor stayed there was there for quite some time.
"I finally understand why the Death God could use the Armor Law Secret Technique; he must have become enlightened of it in this room," said Li Jun.
"This could be the reason for his title as the strongest God."
The group looked around for a few minutes but did not find much. The only benefit of discovering this room is that it is a good place to cultivate. However, they also knew that using an Enlightening Place, it was best to use it during the Void Shattering Realm to understand the law.
Once their cultivation reaches a certain level, the sect will also grant them access to their own Enlightening Place. And with the Dao Opening Sect having nine Great Emperors, they have more options or choices than others.
"Did you learn anything else from the Death God’s memories?" asked Yan Liling.
"No, he seemed to have erased a lot of them before his capture," replied Wang Ju.
Li Jun nodded his head before saying: "We already knew that the water of this world was deep, now we have proof of this. Although with our strength, it should be quite easy to conquer a Middle Thousand World.
"However, this one is obviously special, so we have to be more cautious in our actions."
After not finding any other information in this cottage, they decided to establish a schedule to allow each of the four of them different times to come to cultivate here.
Then, they left the Death God’s Heavenly Abode.
A month passed by. Li Jun was in the Imperial Palace of the former Death Kingdom writing on a paper. Wang Wei told him to summarize some steps in the process of conquering a world to establish a standard or some sort of reference guide for the future.
Although there has not been enough information yet to write the entire thing, Li Jun still had some ideas.
While he was deep in concentration, he heard footsteps approaching him at a regular pace. A few minutes later, Tie Gang came to see him.
"How are the social reforms?" asked Li Jun without raising his head. "By now, the livelihood of ordinary people should have improved, making it easier for us to gather incense."
Tie Gand paused for a moment, then took a deep and loud sigh.
"You would think so, right? Unfortunately, the progress has been remarkably slow."
"Oh?" asked Li Jun as he raised his head to look at him. "What’s the problem?"
"These mortals are too used on relying on the Gods for so many things that many of them are resisting our reforms; it seems as if the concept of ’self-sufficient, self-reliance and self-improvement are completely unknown to them.
"After so many years of being enslaved by these Gods, their minds and ways of thinking have been shackled."
Tie Gang took another sigh, "In the eastern plain, there are vast fertile lands, so we tried teaching them about agriculture and so on. However, many of them complained that they did not need to learn all of these since the Harvest Goddes would just bloom their harvest for them.
"They refused to build homes and shelters because the Wood God and Earth God could instantly do it for them.
"The concept of smithing is basically nonexistent in this world. Although these mortals rarely need things like weapons or iron products, when they do, they will pray to the Metal God will do it for them."
Li Jun frowned after hearing this, "These Gods not only occupied all the knowledge of this world but also made sure that mortals relied solely on them.
"Without them, not only do mortals have no purpose, they lost their basic abilities to function normally as a society."
Tie Gang agreed with Li Jun’s conclusion. As a person from a Lowe Thousand World, he always assumed that higher worlds were more advance than lower ones.
And in many ways they were. However, when he compares the mortals of this world to his own, he felt a slight sense of superiority. Although he knew this was because these Gods treated mortals as lambs to be raised in a barn, this did change how he felt.
