Chapter 726 [Beautiful Civilization]

With this contradictory mentality, the Flame Snake Civilization quickly convened an internal meeting!

"Your Excellency, which side should we trust?" an elder of a civilization said worriedly, "If the magic cube left by the advanced civilization is correct, we can reach the moon first and become a level 6 civilization in one step."

"If Green City is correct, we will be torn to pieces by countless monsters the moment we reach the moon!"

The temptation of the sixth-level civilization is right before their eyes. They have already witnessed the strength of the fifth-level civilization. How powerful would the sixth-level civilization be?

In the blink of an eye, the enemy in front of you was reduced to ashes!

This huge temptation made them subconsciously want to believe that what the "Magic Cube" said was true!

Even the smartest races have some luck mentality, but luck mentality is the main factor in being defrauded.

"Quiet!" The Speaker of the Parliament, Anaconda, slapped the floor with his tail, making two "bang" sounds.

Only then did everyone quiet down.

The Speaker of the Council said, "From a rational analysis, the information provided by Green City is logically impeccable. If the moon has all the legacy required to become a Level 6 civilization, will it be our turn?"

"Landing on the moon is not a difficult task. Those Level 5 civilizations can do it easily."

"They have more detailed intelligence about the moon than we know."

"But they just didn't log in. There must be a reason for that."

"What I'm thinking about is, what is the purpose of the Rubik's Cube artificial intelligence in deceiving us? It... must have some motive, right?"

The conference room fell silent.

This issue involves some conspiracy theories that are terrifying if you think about them carefully.

Someone quickly explained: "It's just an artificial intelligence. It's normal not to know what happened next."

"It escaped from the Sixth Era. Maybe the moon hadn't completely fallen at that time... The information in its database is incomplete."

"What you said makes sense, but what if it is the most malicious idea?"

Chi Anaconda said calmly: "Why is that 'magic cube' being held in the mouth of a [Monster·Hydra] and not letting go?"

"All the resentment of the Nine-Headed Giant Snake is concentrated in the magic cube. As time goes by, this idealistic force has not only not dissipated, but has become more and more intense, forming a powerful rule."

"According to our current understanding, [Monsters] are merely tools invented to combat the disasters of the epoch. Many [Monsters] work for certain powerful civilizations."

"Why would a [Demon] hate the 'Cube' so much? Shouldn't they be comrades-in-arms?"

No one can answer this question.

If you say that you hold on to the Rubik's Cube tightly in order to protect it, this statement is too self-deceptive.

"So the Rubik's Cube's motives are problematic."

"You mean, once we reach the moon, the restraint of the Nine-Headed Giant Snake on the Cube will be reduced."

"Even if our Flame Snake civilization will die the moment it lands, can that Rubik's Cube be freed?"

"I don't mean that. It's just a reasonable guess." Anaconda lowered his voice.

A chill ran along the coccyx of the tail and continued upwards.

From an emotional level, they dared not believe, or were unwilling to believe, that the original opportunity turned out to be an extinction crisis!

From a rational perspective, they would rather believe it exists than not believe it exists!

It was almost destroyed!

The head of the parliament, Chi Ana, said, "There is another problem. Since arriving in Pangu Continent, the magic cube has gradually collapsed and there is no way to open it."

"We originally thought that the rules of Pangaea were very different from our original planet... but now I think there is a problem."

An elder with cold sweat all over his body asked: "What do you mean?"

"That Rubik's Cube was made by an advanced civilization. At that time, a peak civilization had already appeared, and a path combining materialism and idealism had also emerged."

"Let me put it this way. I don't believe that the creations of advanced civilizations will not be able to function in a different environment."

"You mean..."

"Here is a paper that you can take a look at... It is also knowledge given to us for free by Green City."

"A Summary of the Evolution of World Will in Pangu Continent" is signed by a scientist from the "Chi Civilization". He spent five hundred years tracking and investigating the evolution of world will.

The "world will" is a magical thing. It is like air, omnipresent, yet invisible and intangible.

Even for a person with great spiritual charm, it is very difficult to perceive it.

However, some giant projects starting from the third-level civilization can rely on the power of "world will", such as the "harmonious conversion array", the array to enhance divine attributes, the idealistic anti-gravity device, etc., all of which are used to mobilize the power of heaven and earth.

The paper reads:

[After a long period of follow-up investigation, our Chi civilization believes that the strengthening of the world's will has become a more obvious phenomenon since the seventh era. In the sixth era, the strength of the world's will was not high.]

[…The reason may be that the [God] was created by the Gear Civilization in the Seventh Era. From an intuitive point of view, [God] seems to be just a wealth distribution system, but in fact it is not. [God] may be a vision, or perhaps a supercomputer…]

[The subsequent Eighth Era did not disclose the specific location of [God], but only further enhanced it to make it more intelligent...]

[Now in the Ninth Era. [God] has not taken any other actions except announcing the civilization milestones at the beginning, but that does not mean it no longer exists.]

[Its strength is linearly related to the comprehensive strength of the major civilizations on Pangu Continent. According to the statistics of our civilization, its strength has increased by 791% compared to the beginning of the era. Specifically, it is reflected in large-scale engineering projects, and communication with the world's will has become more labor-saving and less consuming. Nowadays, the difficulty of becoming a third-level civilization has been greatly reduced. ]

What follows is a large amount of data and commercial hype.

The spread of something like "field industrialization" has greatly enhanced the world's will.

The strengthening of world will has also promoted the spread of some taboo information.

In the past, some taboo information would be dangerous and would directly trigger the pursuit of [ghosts], but now [ghosts] are basically suppressed...

From this perspective, the power of the world's will is much stronger than that of the [ghost], and it is the true first line against the disasters of the era.

As many Fire Snake people read this information, their faces darkened and they were sweating profusely!

If they guessed correctly, the reason why their "Magic Cube" lost its function was that it was suppressed by the will of the world!

What on earth is this thing?!

…

…

On the other hand, with the end of the negotiations, a large number of engineering teams returned to the front line to mine the ruins.

Various excavators and drills work non-stop twenty-four hours a day!

These robots are equipped with artificial intelligence, and every time they dig up a valuable item, they slow down their work and carefully preserve the item.

The Zerg warriors were the most active. They had the ability of [Insect Escape] and each of them was good at digging, so they were digging frantically, as if they were competing with the robots.

The Leviathan held up two large pincers, and each shovel could dig out thousands of tons of earth. It was even shouting excitedly. The "Mammoth" on the other side was not to be outdone and started digging wildly.

But these guys were very rough in their work, and they damaged so many relics with their shovels that Lu Yuan quickly stopped them.

"Alright, alright, go home and eat grass. You're so big, but you're not as smart as artificial intelligence."

Leviathan felt a little aggrieved, but he could not disobey his master's orders.

Lu Yuan ignored the cute giant insect and sighed to himself: "Although I, Lu Yuan, didn't gain any benefits, but everyone's well, that's the real good... Forget it, let's just leave it at that."

Now that things were basically settled, he planned to stay for a while longer and then return to Green City with his parents.

Of course, because of the existence of the Flame Snake Civilization and the Red Run Alliance, although Lu Yuan is unwilling to be a babysitter, he also does not want to see conflicts break out among the three parties again as soon as they leave.

Therefore, he planned to take the exchange teams of the two civilizations to visit the ruins of Buzhou and participate in the "Supreme Craftsman Competition".

As long as we can strengthen communication and enhance understanding, regardless of friendship or not, as long as there are enough long-term interests, all conflicts can be melted away!

What gave Lu Yuan the most headache was the "Supreme Craftsman Competition". He led his communication team to look for the mother civilization of mankind, under the pretext of "looking for inspiration".

But now that things are done, I have accumulated some inspiration, but it has not yet reached that critical point.

It's really annoying.

By the way, the visiting delegation from Green City was quite happy. They were able to get close to the remains of civilization and even dig up a "mythical item". Even if they didn't know what the myth was, it was enough to make people look forward to it.

These excavators, drills, and Zerg warriors can dig to a depth of 300 meters every day. After a while, the buried myth will be reborn.

"We in Green City still don't have a myth of our own... I didn't expect that the first one was picked up!" Craftsman Li Datie's face flushed with excitement.

Lu Yuan subconsciously shrank his neck.

"Hey, don't overestimate myths. Except for some extremely awesome ones, most myths are just so-so."

Everyone was talking and picking up trash from the garbage dump.

All kinds of messy building materials, corroded metals, various stone statues, calcified skeletons of unknown creatures, etc.

Picking up trash is actually physical work. Creating an artificial intelligence that can identify valuable items requires a lot of manpower and material resources. It is better to pay the labor costs directly.

But everyone was very excited, as it had been a long time since we picked up trash.

"Eh... this third-level civilization, wouldn't it be that they spent an entire era enjoying themselves?" a craftsman suddenly said, "These relics are even more artistic than the Green Civilization, and they have a strong fertility worship and a strong religious atmosphere."

“It certainly feels that way.”

The creatures on the statues are of all kinds, including humans, pigmen, rabbitmen, snakemen, and lizards, all with happy smiles on their faces, giving people a warm feeling of reunion.

But for some reason, Lu Yuan felt a little uneasy. Seeing that everyone else seemed fine, he could only quietly ask his wife: "Conch, do you feel uncomfortable?"

"There is a little bit of hypocrisy in the smile on this sculpture..." Hai Luo watched from the side for a long time, "But the artistic sense is indeed good, it's just that the creator deliberately incorporated a certain emotion, which makes it look a little hypocritical."

Both of them are innate myths and great spiritualists. This subtle intuition triggered Lu Yuan's vigilance: "There is no complete happiness in the world. It's normal for a few statues to be hypocritical occasionally; but every statue is so hypocritical... It feels like a fake person."

After a while, the garbage dump exploration team found various colorful pieces of clothing, which had a subtle supernatural property.

“Come and see!”

Lu Yuan picked up the clothes, pondered them for a while, and saw all kinds of strange patterns.

Some look like the spots on a ladybug, and some resemble the patterns of tigers and zebras.

Even after an era, when the power of idealism has largely disappeared and the materials shattered at the touch, one can still feel the unique artistic atmosphere. A hazy fertility worship comes towards you, as if you can feel that a large-scale carnival has been held in this place.

"Synthetic fiber, but it's not human skin..."

"But there is still an inexplicable sense of weirdness..."

Lu Yuan savored it for a while, but he had no idea what this strange feeling was.

As a great spiritualist with 40 points of god power, he is powerful enough that most emergencies will not trigger any impulse in him.

But now, these statues and clothes brought him an inexplicable palpitation.

So he explained this strange thing to the strange people in the fairy palace and brought some samples in for them to see.

“Is this an item from the remains of civilization?”

"Yes, it's quite artistic."

"You want to embezzle some of the relics that humans have worked so hard to find?" The old aliens teased him.

"How could that be possible? The negotiations have already been completed, what else can I embezzle? I just had nothing to do, so I went to the front line to hang out, and brought back some garbage... and I thought this relic was weird, so I showed it to you."

"Most of the remains of civilization have no research value for us, and there are no records of them. Don't have too high expectations." The strangers took a few glances and thought these samples were interesting, so they began to study them with magnifying glasses.

"You should try to find the writing of that civilization. Otherwise, you can't read the statues."

"knew."

He bent down and started digging, and soon found some suspicious texts from the garbage dump, like billboards, labels, stone tablets, and a plastic book with various paintings of... beauties?

Lu Yuan swallowed his saliva. He was not sure. The aesthetic taste of each race was different. However, beauties in human form were quite pretty.

"I think it's coming. This is... a beautiful civilization!"

"You actually found the remains of a beautiful civilization?!" The living fossil, the Great Crystal Man, Jingshi Xihui, said excitedly, "I have some impression of this civilization. This civilization... was like a socialite, looking for mates everywhere and distributing its people in various civilizations. It was quite famous."

"I'll help you check their information."

After a moment of confusion, his face became serious: "...How come I can't find any more specific information?"

The racial talent of the Crystal People is to write various secret codes inside their bodies. These codes can only be deciphered by themselves and are extremely secretive.

That is why they are called history museums.

All three crystal men began to check the secret codes in their bodies.

The old snake man asked quietly, "Is the beautiful civilization very powerful?"

"No." Lu Yuan replied, "According to the information provided by the Human Alliance, this is only a peak level 3 civilization, at most a level 4 civilization. However, their living standards may be very high, which makes this relic relatively wealthy."

The Great Crystal Man was puzzled: "But I recognized the beautiful civilization at first sight. It is obviously a very important information...but there are no more records."

"There's a big problem! I'm sure, let's all think about it!"

…

(PS: I'm a little stuck. I need to think about how to write the next chapters. I'll take a day off tomorrow.)
