Chapter 9: The Three Major Disasters

After walking a short distance, Liu Zhengde took out two white square blocks, each the size of a baby's palm, from his backpack. He handed one to Yang Fan, who showed a look of confusion. Liu Zhengde realized that Yang Fan did not know what it was, and he couldn't help but feel a sense of admiration—indeed, only someone like Senior Yang Fan, who is far removed from the clamor of the world and wholly immersed in cultivation, could comprehend the true profundity of the 'Five Fingers of Calculating Heaven'.

Liu Zhengde operated his mobile phone and quickly placed an order. He then suggested walking a short distance first and not getting too close to the Zhongnan Mountain.

Yang Fan took the white square and the kettle, and fashioned a set of clothes in the same manner, feeling a slight sense of novelty, but that was all.

Seeing the astonishment finally appear on Yang Fan's face, Liu Zhengde couldn't help but feel a sense of relief while simultaneously experiencing a considerable sense of accomplishment

Liu Zhengde sighed and continued, "Afterwards, with the flourishing of martial arts, the revival of technological civilization and the inevitable slowdown of book learning, coupled with the subsequent disasters of the Spirit Race and the Evil Race, human civilization experienced a certain degree of regression once again. It was not until five hundred years ago that humanity received extraterrestrial inheritance, which led to a significant leap forward."

The mobile phone appears to be a transparent plastic panel, with a smooth and warm touch akin to jade. Its size is similar to that of the previous generation of Apple devices, and it displays clear icons of software applications.

At this moment, Yang Fan stared at the object in Liu Zhengde's hand, somewhat incredulously saying: "Is this... a mobile phone?"

Liu Zhengde was taken aback and said, "It's a mobile phone"

After returning to Liu Zhengde, Yang Fan remarked: "More than two thousand years ago, mobile phones were already like this. How is it that they are still like this now?"

Senior Yang Fan may not be aware that over the past two thousand years, humanity has experienced the Undead Catastrophe, the Spirit Race Catastrophe, and the Evil Race and *Book* Catastrophe. During the Undead Catastrophe, human civilization faced near-total destruction, countless scientific elites were killed, the internet completely collapsed, computers were nearly obliterated, and countless valuable paper documents were burned en masse, with all space satellites suffering damage... Although humanity ultimately triumphed over the Undead, civilization regressed by several hundred years, nearly resulting in a civilizational rupture.

Moreover, it is one thing to decipher technological knowledge from the biological light brain of extraterrestrials, but the existence of a substantial amount of martial arts information is truly astonishing

Upon hearing this, Yang Fan's first thought was whether his work "The End of the Dharma Age" would be overshadowed for such reasons, failing to meet the expectations of warning future generations.

In the divine realm, the great supernatural power of concealing the sun and moon within a mustard seed or a pot is fundamentally insignificant. In comparison, what can this mere compression of books possibly amount to?

Liu Zhengde secretly exclaimed that indeed, the Kun sect was destroyed over two thousand three hundred years ago, and this senior Yang Fan must belong to a lineage that is far removed from the mundane world. Therefore, he is completely unaware of matters concerning future generations, including those related to the evil clans.

Yang Fan furrowed his brows and reached out his hand

This time, Yang Fan inquired about the matter of extraterrestrial inheritance. However, extraterrestrial inheritance is considered the highest secret across the entire Earth, and although Liu Zhengde is the leader of a faction, his knowledge on the subject is also limited

As he spoke, the white cube in his hand rapidly expanded. In the blink of an eye, after he squeezed it and gave it a gentle shake, a complete outfit appeared in his hand. It included not only a top and pants but also undergarments. It had a satin-like texture and resembled a pure white kung fu suit

After changing into the compression suit and tidying up his appearance by shaving off the unruly beard, Liu Zhenghe, as depicted in the image, exudes a considerable air of composure, revealing a hint of the presence of a leader.

Moments later, a streamlined maglev vehicle swiftly approached from the west and silently descended before the two individuals

Alien Heritage? A strange light flashed in Yang Fan's eyes

As far as I know, it is an alien spacecraft containing the bodies of extraterrestrials. Humanity gathered the most elite scientific talents of the time to ultimately decipher some of the data within the biological light brain of the spacecraft, acquiring advanced technological knowledge far beyond that of the era, as well as a wealth of martial arts information. Unfortunately, ninety percent of the technological knowledge pertains to space exploration, and thus humanity was finally able to explore the unknown regions beyond the solar system, although the technology applied to civilian use is not substantial... In terms of martial arts, there was indeed an explosive enhancement. Five hundred years ago, the total number of transcendent beings worldwide did not exceed five. However, today there are at least fifty, and the number of celestial beings has reached nearly a thousand.

Yang Fan harbored secret doubts; although this mobile phone was more advanced than those from his previous life, it fell far short of the unimaginable technological explosion of human civilization he had envisioned.

He took out a kettle, unscrewed the lid, and slowly poured water onto the white square in his hand, explaining: "This is a compressed garment, made from ultra-fine fibers that have been dehydrated and compressed. It only requires a small cup of water to return to its normal size."

Liu Zhengde hurriedly presented the mobile phone with both hands

Yang Fan could not help but show a look of surprise; the emergence of this extraterrestrial legacy was something he had not predicted even in his earlier calculations.

Yang Fan was not without his reservations, fully aware that Liu Zhengde was indeed the leader of a faction, possessing a meticulous mind. The grand feng shui formation currently enveloping Zhongnan Mountain had already been reined in, and it would soon create a sensation across the world. If they remained too close, it would inevitably lead to unwarranted speculation
