The era of the supernatural has arrived, with changing rules, mysterious forces, and a world in flux. Countless ancient ruins have emerged, and vast amounts of natural treasures are up for grabs.
Chapter 738: Unique Identity
Lu Yuan felt a lot of pressure when he thought that the world will might have bet hundreds of millions or even more civilization points on him.
If he betrays and runs away, won't he be cursed to death by Pangu Continent?!
In the end, I could only sigh: "I have found my biological mother. The will of the world, she is not my biological mother, but she is better than my biological mother."
"No matter what, I still have to call him - godmother!"
This statement made everyone laugh.
The old cat said sourly, "You've finally let go of your dignity, which you didn't have in the first place, and started to flatter others."
According to this logic, Lu Yuan is indeed qualified to defeat his opponent.
Moreover, this identity conforms to the laws of idealism. I am the master of the world. What's wrong with stealing your ability to conceptualize a god?
The one I’m robbing is you!
Name, name, Lu Yuan deeply realized how important this thing is!
Pangu Continent is so fucking idealistic.
After discussing this for a while, the Great Crystal Man added, "There's another unique point. You realized this while in a relatively powerful state, and even won the war."
“It’s not easy.”
"The concept of God has been dispelled to a certain extent by you in this battle..."
"Civilizations capable of achieving this are rare, and may never have existed."
In the past few eras, many of the past peak civilizations recognized this matter when they were not strong enough, and planted the "seed" in their hearts.
Even if they develop in the future, it will be of no avail.
"Once an idea is planted, it is difficult to reverse it..."
“Once bitten by a snake, you’ll be afraid of ropes for ten years. Even if you become powerful in the future, God will become powerful along with you.”
Lu Yuan sighed, "That's right. Religion on Earth was born in the feudal era, but it still exists in the information age. Even in the foreseeable future, it will continue to grow and develop."
There are two most difficult things in the world. The first is to transfer the money from your pocket to my pocket; the second is to transfer the thoughts from my mind to your mind.
But now, a huge opportunity is before him - he has already broken this concept!
What a coincidence! Fate is so magical.
Another Inhuman, Batman, added, "Actually, you have a third advantage."
"You appear as an individual, a concrete entity, which aligns with the heroic view of history, whereas peak civilizations usually appear as group portraits."
"The heroic view of history is capable of artificially creating gods. Many civilizations have heard that voice."
"A civilization centered around groups obviously can't create gods. It's impossible for hundreds of millions of people to all be gods... I think this clue is crucial."
"You mean, it is possible to become a god through faith?" Lu Yuan was surprised.
"There are a few relevant records in the classics of the First Era." Guiguzi was silent for a while, as if he was flipping through the vast memories in his mind.
They had not experienced the First Age, and all they knew was from reading books.
"Found it... Becoming a god through faith does have a chance of condensing into an acquired myth!"
"Is it just an acquired myth?" Not only Lu Yuan, but even the old cat was a little disgusted.
The Greedy Demon God is at the top of the list, followed by the [Ghost], then the Infinite Qi Powerful One, then the Innate Myth, and finally the Acquired Myth...
In terms of combat power, the Acquired Myth is probably on the same level as the [Demon], and can't even defeat the Little Mirage Dragon...
"Haha, don't think that acquired myths aren't powerful enough. Most civilizations can't even get them! Who wouldn't want a cheap acquired myth?" The turtle man was speechless. "The ultimate goal of bloodline technology is to mass-produce acquired myths. Do you know the value of mass production?"
Lu Yuan's heart skipped a beat. Isn't this the industrialization of myth that I advocate?
Guiguzi spoke eloquently, "In the early days of the First Era, when blood sacrifices were not yet popular, countless powerful people relied on practice to achieve acquired myths."
"Things like tapping into one's own bloodline, meditation, and enlightenment were all developed at that time."
"Some races like to nurture weak civilizations and gather their support."
"Those weak civilizations, living in hardship, fantasized about an omnipotent God saving them, so they acted as gods to fulfill their fantasies. That's the general situation, but the specific details are hard to come by."
In the First Age, people were more idealistic than they are now, and “imagination is reality” worked to a certain extent.
Of course, this "imagination" requires the consensus of all beings, and one person's imagination is meaningless.
"However, this method of achieving acquired mythology is prone to spiritual backlash. How can so-called faith be so pure?"
"Humans have seven emotions and six desires, and desires are a bottomless pit. If you act like a good god and satisfy them, you will have to face endless demands. If you act like an evil god and scare them, you will have to face a belief full of absurdity."
"Gradually, you stop being yourself and become the person they believe in, or simply because of excessive mental stress."
"Secondly, in that era, blood sacrifice was the mainstream way to become a god. The slow process of becoming a god through faith was not cost-effective... These are the only records available."
"I see……"
The clouds in the sky changed, and the Greedy Demon turned over and seemed to let out a long breath.
The Weaver in the Yin World suddenly shook his antenna and pointed at the giant snake head and the Rubik's Cube.
"You mean, this Rubik's Cube might have the answer to this?"
The Weaver moved and slowly retracted the antenna.
"Okay, I'll feel the changes deep within my soul again. If it's not a bad thing, I'll find a way to use it. I'll continue to sleep for the time being. You guys take care of the outside world."
The old cat swayed left and right, and walked over with a cat-like gait: "Comrade, there is something I must ask of you..."
"No, I can't get the Hall of Mythology back!" Lu Yuan said immediately.
The old cat rolled all over the ground, looking completely crazy.
"However, I will still participate in the Supreme Craftsman Competition that I promised you... I'm so inspired right now!"
He sighed inwardly.
Human civilization must indeed be strengthened as soon as possible.
…
Time passes like running water, and three years have passed in the blink of an eye.
Lu Yuan's recovery speed was even faster than expected. In the first year, he was basically able to use his human body to move around in Green City.
In addition to routine work such as craftsmanship and training the next generation, he also tried to explore "conceptual ability", but he never got started.
Maybe it was because the power he stole was too little, or maybe it was due to some other reason.
In short, Lu Yuan didn't force it. It was already a very happy thing to develop step by step.
"Dad, Mom, are you used to staying here these past few years?"
At this moment, he is on a high tower in the Kushi Desert, traveling with his parents.
This place is extremely hot, and you have to wear fully enclosed power armor and keep the air conditioning on 24 hours a day.
But the scenery has a completely different flavor.
Yellow sand crawled in from the juncture of heaven and earth, wave after wave like the waves of the ocean. The sun blazed overhead, its white light like a knife, splitting the sand into millions, each one burning the eyes. In the distance, the sand dunes rose and fell like a giant beast lying in a state of paralysis, its back jagged and its parched bones thrust upward toward the sky.
Countless robots come and go, building railways, roads and railroad tracks, bringing life and vitality to the dead desert.
And those giant cylindrical buildings are actually open pits leading deep underground.
The flag on top of the building fluttered in the sandstorm.
The Buzhou Alliance sent tens of millions of workers and soldiers to maintain law and order here, but the population was still a little small as they were scattered across such a vast area.
"The output of this desert is actually limited, but because of that incident, more civilizations have gathered here, and the Buzhou Alliance plans to establish a trading market here."
Lu Yuan introduced: "We have quite a few specialties in Green City, so we should be able to make some money..."
"You don't have to worry about the Human Alliance. They have a [Demon·Frost Mist], and as long as they have specialties, they can still sell things. Maybe they can make more money than excavating ruins!"
The family members couldn't help but sigh: "It's great to have the alliance behind us..."
My parents are still working as doctors.
There is not much demand for doctors these days, and it is considered a relatively leisurely job.
Lu Qingqing is currently taking exams to become a constructor for Poppy Tree's "Green Paradise", which is also a very promising career.
However, the parents' ideas could not be changed in a short time.
My father was silent for a long moment before he sighed, "Productivity is indeed highly developed, and the environment is excellent, but living in Green City always feels like living in a foreign country... It's like people from Great East Country settling in Australia, losing all their connections and networks, and it's hard to get used to it."
"And your social system... is a bit strange."
Lu Yuan also sighed: "This is a historical problem. It can't be reversed now, so we can only drag it on."
"Anyway, the conch and I have long lifespans, so we won't die anytime soon. As long as we survive, this system is sound."
"By the way, there are still many elderly people from the first generation living in Green City. They are a generation older than me. You don't have to feel any psychological burden when communicating with them."
It is indeed a bit strange that his parents live here, and most of the people around him are nominally "Lu Yuan's children."
Even if they hide their identities and not many people know them, they still feel some psychological burden.
"You'll get used to it after a while. We're just nominal children, not blood relatives, so what's the big deal?" Lu Qingqing, on the other hand, was nonchalant. She smoothed her short hair and smiled. "Brother, I heard you're going to participate in that Supreme Craftsman Competition? And you're so brazen and boastful?"
"It happened several years ago, and I've been preparing for the past two years." Lu Yuan patted his chest, "I'll invite you all to watch it when the time comes!"
"Don't make a fool of yourself in public." Lu Qingqing raised her eyebrows teasingly and shouted, "Commander Lu!"
"Don't scare yourself to death in public," Lu Yuan retorted bluntly, "Princess Lu!"
Lu Qingqing raised her fist and wanted to hit him.
His parents looked at the two guys speechlessly, with a hint of nostalgia for the past in their eyes. In the eyes of parents, children will always be children even if they grow older.
But no matter what, the Supreme Craftsmen Competition is very grand.
It is not limited to the Buzhou Alliance.
It also includes all the civilizations that came to the Kusi Desert!
It is conceivable how fierce the competition for this award is.
In fact, all the relatives and friends had heard that Lu Yuan was the strongest craftsman in the world, but they had never actually seen him, so they still felt a little bit incredible.
"Come on, let's go check out the fortress."
Lu Yuan took his family on a spaceship to the "New World Fortress", the administrative center of the Kusi Desert.
Also traveling together were old acquaintances such as Li Chunhong and Edward from the Human Alliance.
They also received an invitation to go to the New Century Fortress to attend a civilization meeting.
"Hello."
"Hello, Mr. Lu."
"More and more civilizations are coming to this land." Li Chunhong said hello
"Who says it isn't?"
"Thanks to you, we were able to get a good price for the product we introduced to our client who needed the Freezing Ray. However, the durability still leaves a lot to be desired, which left them a little dissatisfied."
"March Civilization, right... Those guys are born with transparent minds and all have obsessive-compulsive disorder. They can even be described as nitpicking. However, it is still difficult to meet such a wealthy client." Lu Yuan still can't forget that the March Civilization bought a divine skill worth 10,000 civilization points at one time.
Both parties sat in their seats and chatted casually.
The spaceship rose rapidly, and soon, a huge monster appeared outside the window - the New Century Fortress!
This thing is the most powerful force of the Buzhou Alliance, a large city suspended in the air.
The clouds were torn apart, and a huge shadow rolled over the yellow sand.
This silver-white fortress with a diameter of 300 miles is suspended in the air at an altitude of 200,000 meters, close to the gale layer.
Twelve sets of anti-gravity engines spewed out dark blue flames in the belly of the ship, just like the giant turtle carrying the earth on its back in the myth, swallowing and exhaling clouds.
Yes, this is a serious anti-gravity engine based on pure physics "Strange Matter Del III"!
It uses nuclear fusion energy, which is low-cost and can operate normally in space. It is not comparable to the atmospheric buoyancy system such as the "Pandora's Crystal".
The guests from the Human Alliance, as well as his relatives, were at the New Century Fortress for the first time and were stunned for a few seconds.
"Anti-gravity..." Professor Edward rubbed his hands, feeling a little envious.
To be honest, the Human Alliance is too inconspicuous here. It is just an ordinary civilization that just barely meets the passing line. It is the kind that cannot even make waves if it is thrown into the desert.
"The anti-gravity engine is actually the technology of the Iron Key Alliance. We negotiated for many years before we finally bought it." Lu Yuan said with a smile, "It is said that the 'Strange Matter Del III' was created by the collision of the super-super-type energy impact device after forcibly shattering the universe."
"The local temperature must exceed the quark soup, that is, more than 1 trillion degrees Celsius, at which point a black hole singularity will occur, that is, all classical physics is distorted."
In fact, Lu Yuan was just talking nonsense.
We are not studying pure physics, so just listen to the general idea.
But the materialistic technology of the fifth-level civilization is indeed shocking.
How strong an industry and how many people are needed to build a "super-super-super energy hedging device"?
"Which one is stronger, the Buzhou Alliance or the Tieyao Alliance?" Li Chunhong asked, and everyone pricked up their ears. Only insiders like Lu Yuan could comment on this kind of gossip.
Lu Yuan laughed and said, "Of course the Buzhou Alliance is stronger. The Iron Key Alliance's anti-gravity device is actually a relic of the previous dynasty. They can't build it in this day and age."
"Some special supermagnetic components are difficult to manufacture. There are also some anti-idealistic materials. If the performance is not up to standard, the fortress will fall from the sky."
"But the Butzhou Alliance purchased the blueprints and principles and mobilized all civilizations to build this thing. It took several decades, which was no easy task."
Lu Yuan is actually a bit modest.
The Buzhou Alliance has a small world, sustainable income, and the secret support of the Alien Foundation. Its wealth is 10 times that of the Iron Key Alliance.
Mobilizing 30,000 civilizations to produce parts requires tremendous organizational skills and financial resources!
Lu Yuan sighed, "This anti-gravity engine is something Green City cannot produce with its capabilities. Even if all 15 million people were to switch to the materialistic realm, it wouldn't be enough."
“So that’s a huge threshold.”
"Yes, it is indeed the crystallization of collective wisdom..." everyone sighed.
"How much will it cost if I buy one?" Li Chunhong asked again.
"The current production capacity is seriously insufficient. Even the internal distribution is insufficient." Lu Yuan smiled bitterly and spread his hands. "For example, the SSS-level anti-idealism material is actually provided by Green City. The production capacity is very small and requires the bark of the poppy tree to be carefully and complexly processed."
"In the future, the starting price of an engine will be 200,000 spiritual energy, and you will also have to pay a certain amount of civilization points." Lu Yuan had actually inquired about it, but was shocked by the price. He didn't have any other ideas.
“And this is the internal price… the external price is even more expensive.”
Li Chunhong stared blankly into the distance. The foundation of a fifth-level civilization looked expensive, but in fact it was even more expensive.
If they could install an anti-gravity engine in Yunhai City and get rid of the slow snail-like speed of navigation... the world is so big, where can't they go?
The other leaders of the Human Alliance were also overwhelmed with emotion.
Human beings are actually very ambitious, but the gap in reality makes them look gloomy.
Lu Yuan then whispered, "But the Northern Alliance has the population and potential. With only about 1 billion people, there's a certain possibility."
"Of course, it also depends on the completeness of the industrial chain and the clear division of labor within it... Don't worry, everyone, we will build the northern border, and it will be no worse than here."
This is just a pie in the sky, which has almost made the human leaders die of overeating.
However, everyone really likes this.
The leaders quickly calculated in their minds what role they should play in the North.
