When a person cannot even meet the basic needs of food and water for survival, it is difficult to consider complex things like dignity, ideals, self-worth, and a sense of belonging.
Instead, they will abandon all their dignity and morals for a piece of bread or a glass of water and are willing to pay any price, even death.
Only when low-level physiological needs are met can we pursue further order, fairness and security.
This is why there has been almost no direct conflict between military powers since the advent of the nuclear weapons age.
Although nuclear weapons are far from being able to destroy humanity, they can seriously damage existing productivity, causing difficulties in the supply of various basic living materials, electricity, water, etc., or even their complete disappearance in some areas.
What's even more terrible is that with the sharp decline in the quality of life and the survival crisis, law and order will collapse, and then there will be the inevitable decline of civilization.
It won't take much, just two or three generations, and when all the old people who originally possessed advanced knowledge, technology, and ideas have died, the quality of the population will decline to a level that is unbearable to watch, and it may even degenerate into dictatorship and slavery under the darkness and greed of human nature.
If this situation continues for a while, everyone will gradually adapt and take everything for granted, and the world is just like this.
When it degenerates to this extent, it becomes extremely difficult to redevelop and restore its past prosperity, just like entering the realm of hell.
After all, social progress cannot be achieved simply by piling up technology; the most crucial thing is the change in thinking.
The most typical example is that before the rapid rise of modern Europe, the Renaissance began to break the shackles of religion and liberate thought, followed by the rapid Age of Discovery and the Age of Colonization, as well as the rise of the Industrial Revolution.
Just imagine, if a group of people do not have enough to eat every day and their average life expectancy is only around 30 years old, how can they have the energy to think about the future and use their brains to constantly try to transform existing production tools and improve labor efficiency?
I guess all I think about from morning to night is what to eat and how to get it.
Even if they can occasionally have a full meal, they will not think about these things. Instead, they will find a member of the opposite sex to vent their repressed reproductive instinct and allow their genes to continue to be passed on.
In fact, it is never the grassroots people who truly drive the development of history and society.
Because most of the time, how can they master knowledge, research technology, and think about a system that is more suitable for current productivity when they can't even fill their stomachs?
What really drives all this are the "de-industrialized people", that is, the very small group of people who no longer need to work, have fully met their low-level needs and are beginning to pursue the realization of their self-worth.
They are not necessarily the ruling class, but they are definitely the elite.
Cultivating and maintaining such an elite requires a large amount of social resources.
Unfortunately, the world that the Dark Prince Graya is currently eyeing no longer has enough surplus resources to train a large number of people who have left the productive forces in order to promote social progress.
Therefore, since entering the underground world, their social structure has been constantly regressing.
In addition, underground space is limited, and it is impossible to have vast plains suitable for agricultural and animal husbandry production like on the surface. It is already a remarkable achievement for a large settlement to be able to feed tens of thousands of people.
Finally, there are DBUFFs such as communication and transportation closures, which make even external expansion, mergers, and trade a thankless task.
In addition, after thousands of years without much genetic exchange, any settlements that are far apart will have huge differences in appearance and even body shape.
Some even experienced reproductive isolation.
This further led to the division of the entire race.
If the earth's core had not cooled down, in tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of years, two completely different subspecies might have evolved.
Of course, these complex issues are not what the expedition members need to consider.
After a hearty meal, they were quickly brought into the magnificent bathing pool, where they were soaked in slightly hot water, applying some smooth, foaming shower gel on their bodies from time to time.
There is no doubt that this building is a paradise in the eyes of the residents of the underground world.
Looking at the gorgeous lights above her head and feeling the warmth brought by the water, a young woman couldn't help but sigh: "If this is a dream, I would rather never wake up."
"Dream?"
This is not a dream, but a gift from God.
I think that His Royal Highness the Prince is most likely the great god who came to save us.
Because apart from God, I can't think of anyone else who could build this fairyland-like place on the surface world.
Look at the green plants and flowers, they are exactly as described in the Book of Revelation.”
Another slightly older woman glanced at the potted plants placed on the windowsill in the distance as decorations, picked up the silver amulet hanging around her neck and kissed it, her eyes revealing unparalleled piety.
"You are actually a believer of the church?!"
Rebecca, the youngest girl in the team, looked surprised.
Like all primitive and ignorant areas, the humans in this world naturally developed various religions thousands of years after entering the underground world in order to meet the spiritual needs of the people and for the ruling class to reduce the rebellious consciousness of the lower classes and increase social stability.
After all, the origin of religious belief is suffering.
Only when one has endured tremendous pain and sees no hope will one pray to a god who is above all mortals to save oneself.
Without a false hope to support them, people would not be able to persist in such a harsh and difficult environment.
But the problem is that for expeditions that often travel to the surface world, since they can often come into contact with things from the prosperous era, see with their own eyes those tall buildings and sophisticated tools that no blacksmith could make, they rarely believe the nonsense of those charlatans.
In particular, "Divine Revelation" depicts that the end of the world is coming because people in the prosperous era were arrogant and extravagant, which led to God's punishment. Only by working hard and enduring the suffering of the present will there be a chance to ascend to heaven and enjoy a good life after death.
Anyone who has traveled to the surface world and seen the things left behind by the "ancestors", such as the suicide notes frozen on the table, and the video and audio recordings that have not been frozen by ultra-low temperatures and can still be played after being thawed underground, can know that the culprit behind all this is the sudden disappearance of the sun.
No one knows what exactly happened at that time, but what is certain is that it has nothing to do with gods. Instead, it was more like someone at that time did something big and then accidentally killed himself.
You have to know that as members of the expedition team, they have all learned those ancient characters and languages so that they can confirm at the first time where high-value materials may be hidden. Therefore, they are not like the lower-class people who have long been enslaved and know nothing about the truth of the world.
The woman with the silver amulet around her neck smiled and replied, "No, I don't believe what those guys preach. I just simply believe that there should be a God in this world, and he will lead us out of suffering one day."
"So you think the prince mentioned by those strange creatures is the god you are waiting for?"
Rebecca stood up from the huge bathtub, revealing a perfect figure without a trace of fat that would be the envy of most modern women.
Of course, it is not easy to grow fat in this food-scarce world. It is even a privilege only enjoyed by a very small number of the upper ruling class.
Especially the well-proportioned yet not exaggerated muscles, which can never be obtained by just exercising in the gym.
If we have to find some flaws in her, it might be that her thick thighs and calves are shaped by long-term walking, making her look like Chun-Li in Street Fighter.
"What else? How do you explain the warm environment here, and all those fresh fruits and vegetables on the table?"
The older woman also stood up from the bathtub and began to wipe her body. Then she put on the clothes on the rack and stood in front of the mirror, staring at her radiant self. Her whole body and mind became extremely relaxed.
Although she didn't understand why the Dark Prince treated her so graciously, she was well aware that her value was far less than that sumptuous banquet before.
Moreover, the other party lives on the surface world and can get as much supplies as they want. It is impossible for them to be interested in the junk found by the expedition team.
Since the cost is far greater than the possible benefits, it means that what the other party wants is not vulgar things like "property", but something that mortals cannot understand, such as faith.
"Maybe... it's some technology left over from a prosperous era? Don't forget, we recovered some similar things before. Even the scholars didn't know what they were called, but they could grow food without soil."
Rebecca, who was also neatly dressed, expressed her guess.
The older woman smiled and shook her head. "Come on. I admit that there were many incredible technologies in the prosperous era, but it was impossible to achieve this level. Otherwise, why would our ancestors go underground instead of relying on it to continue living on the surface?"
Just as the two were talking, the leader's somewhat helpless voice suddenly came from outside.
"My dear lady, you have been showering for an hour and a half. Aren't you finished yet? You should know that the owner of this place is still waiting to meet us. I don't want to annoy him and be kicked out, and then spend the night outside in the cold."
"Damn it! Don't rush us. We're getting dressed."
Rebecca rolled her eyes in annoyance.
After about three to five minutes, the women in the team stood up, dried themselves, put on their clothes and walked out.
As the saying goes, when you are well fed and warm, you will think about sex.
When the men who had been waiting outside impatiently saw the woman taking off her heavy warm clothes and wearing cool clothes, revealing a large area of fair and rosy skin, almost every one of them subconsciously widened their eyes and swallowed their saliva.
Plus, there's a faint fragrance from just taking a shower, so it would be strange if there wasn't some physiological reaction.
Even the guy who was complaining in a low voice about how troublesome women are in the previous second, would stare at a young girl's chest in the next second.
The older women immediately showed disdain at the change in the men's attitude, while the younger girls felt uncomfortable being stared at, and some even blushed.
But fortunately, this awkward situation did not last long. A New Phyrexian Creature said to everyone, "Follow me. His Royal Highness has been waiting for a long time."
In this way, a group of thirty or forty people squeezed into the elevator and went straight to the top floor.
The moment the elevator door opened, all members of the expedition team immediately saw a scene that they would never forget.
In huge petri dishes, there are densely packed various strange creatures, some of which are soaked in solutions, some are in the shape of eggs or cocoons.
Some of them they had seen in the underground world before, but many more they had never heard of.
There are even some that have no shape at all, like huge twisted black shadow monsters.
One of the eggs had obviously begun to hatch. Two pink little hands directly opened the hard inner wall and outer shell, and struggled to crawl out.
From the appearance, it looks wrinkled and looks like a human baby girl.
But in fact, if you look closely, you will find that on the surface of the delicate skin you can vaguely see the stratum corneum that looks like a sharp blade.
Not only that, you can also see sharp horns on the forehead, a pair of small wings that have not been opened, and a tail behind it.
“Aa…
When the baby was born, he did not cry like ordinary children, but crawled out tremblingly.
When she crawled to the feet of the handsome young man standing in front of the petri dish, she suddenly raised her arms and gently waved her little hands, as if begging the latter to hold her.
Obviously, this little baby is Altria who has just completed retraining.
Today, she has completely bid farewell to the past and is now a pure and flawless blank sheet of paper.
"Is this the life that has just been born? It's really fragile."
There was a gleam of curiosity in Graya's eyes, but he obviously didn't want to bend down to pick up the little guy.
After all, no matter how much Altria is refined, she is still a divine creature. Even when she is just born, she is countless times stronger than a mortal. Even if she is thrown outside in an environment of more than 200 degrees below zero Celsius and starves for hundreds of years, she can still be alive and well.
But the baby girl did not give up. Instead, she opened her mouth and continued to babbling, trying to attract the attention of the Dark Prince.
After trying several times, Graya finally reached out and lifted the little guy up by the neck like a puppy, and cast a cleaning spell to clean all the mucus off the little guy's body. Then he sighed helplessly: "Oh - it's so troublesome. Is this the only way to experience what growth is? Forget it, since my father said this is the only way, I will give it a try."
"Aiya!"
Altria, who was in baby state, immediately smiled happily, kicking her two little feet and making happy sounds.
Since a large part of her power came from the Dark Prince, she naturally had an inexplicable closeness to him, just like a father and daughter connected by blood.
In contrast, Graya's reaction was relatively cold. She simply used her quasi-divine power to create a piece of cloth out of thin air and wrapped up the naked little thing to prevent her from crawling around restlessly.
"Your Highness, I have brought these mortals here. If you have no other instructions, I will withdraw now."
The New Phyrexian creation broke this brief warm scene.
"Yeah, okay."
Graya nodded at the shiny servant.
In his eyes, something like this that didn't even have a soul could only be considered an intelligent tool, and there was no need to waste too much time talking about it.
After the Shuoyou creature left, the members of the expedition team began to show some commotion.
Because the scene in this laboratory is really a bit scary.
Moreover, the Dark Prince's handsome face, his two deep dark eyes, and the aura of divine power he exuded made them involuntarily want to kneel down and worship him.
Especially the "superpowers" in this team, they began to gradually feel the existence of the Shadow Magic Web.
nervous!
perturbed!
fear!
Even Rebecca, who had previously objected to coming near this place, realized that the young man standing in front of her was no ordinary person.
Because that kind of extraordinary temperament and the invisible but vaguely perceptible energy field surrounding them all prove that the other person is special.
After a long silence, the older woman with the silver amulet around her neck stepped forward first, placed one hand on her chest and bowed deeply: "Hello, Your Highness, the Prince of Darkness, we are an expedition team from Shisun City. Thank you and your servants for the sumptuous meal and bathroom you provided."
"You're welcome. It's just a piece of cake."
Graya nodded with a smile in response.
He had led the army to recover the land of the Kingdom of Cormyr as the crown prince, so he knew how to respond to greetings from the lower classes of society.
"It may be a piece of cake for you, but it is like a paradise for us. If you don't mind, can you tell me who you are? I mean... are you a human or a god?"
The woman continued to test cautiously, her eyes gleaming with anticipation and desire.
After all, in this dark and desperate world, God is almost the only hope that can save mankind from suffering.
Graya smiled and responded: "Haha, it depends on what God is in your definition."
"definition?"
A look of doubt appeared on the woman's face.
“Yes, definition.
If you think God is some spiritual being, abstract and untouchable, then I am certainly not.
But if you think that God is merely someone who possesses great power over mortals and eternal life, then I can barely be considered a God.
Because I can destroy a world at any time if I want to."
As he spoke, Graya suddenly released his destructive power of darkness and nothingness, completely enveloping the entire planet beneath his feet.
In an instant, all the people living in the underground world of this planet couldn't help but feel inexplicable fear and trembling, as if they were being grasped by an invisible giant hand, and their life and death depended on the other party's thoughts.
The intense uneasiness grew like weeds.
Especially the expedition members who were closest to him, they seemed to see the huge shadow that swallowed everything inside the Dark Prince's body.
Fortunately, this situation only lasted less than a minute before returning to normal.
Plop! Plop! Plop! After the suffocation disappeared, several people with weaker willpower began to feel their hearts pounding. They knelt on the ground, gasping for breath, with sweat dripping down their foreheads and cheeks to the ground.
The leader raised his head and looked at Graya with an extremely complicated expression. After half a minute, he asked in a trembling voice: "Did you extinguish the sun and plunge the world into darkness? Are you the god who destroyed the prosperous era?"
“Pfft—hahahahaha!”
The Dark Prince burst into laughter and shook his head as he explained, "No, no, no, that has nothing to do with me. It was all caused by your ancestors. I just discovered it recently and came here."
"seek death?"
Because there is no human living in the underground world who does not want to know what happened back then.
“That’s right.
Your ancestors continuously developed magic and technology, enabling them to acquire the technology to leave their home planet and enter the vast space.
They desire unlimited energy and the creation of a high-welfare society where everyone can enjoy free food, medical care, pensions, entertainment, etc. even if they do not work.
In the end, those top lawbreakers, the group you now call psychics, and the most powerful scientists at the time, jointly came up with a plan.
That is to make full use of the sun as an energy source.
To this end, they built a super Dyson sphere, intending to wrap the sun directly inside so that every bit of emitted light and heat can be fully utilized instead of being spread meaninglessly in the universe.
As a result, errors in calculation and operation caused violent flares and fluctuations inside the star during the closed-loop process, ultimately leading to a supernova explosion.
In order to prevent this explosion from destroying your home planet, the lawbreakers had no choice but to sacrifice themselves and teleport the entire star to some corner of the universe.
This is why there is a strange situation where stars in the entire galaxy disappear, but other planets remain intact.
In addition, there are a total of one hundred super tunnels on this planet that allow you to enter the surface, and each one corresponds to a large urban cluster on the surface.
It was excavated after the local government activated an emergency plan after the sun disappeared.
So all this has nothing to do with God. It is simply the inevitable result of people losing their reverence and becoming more and more arrogant as technology develops to a certain level.
Those people thought they could tame the stars and harvest their energy through the most natural super-nuclear fusion reactors in the universe.
But in fact, the technology at that time was not enough to tame the extremely unstable and violent sun of this star system.
How about this answer? Are you surprised? "
Graya did not hide anything and frankly told everyone present the truth that the world was plunged into darkness and coldness.
The reason why he knew it so clearly was that at the location of the star, he could still see the remains of a damaged Dyson sphere.
To be honest, he really didn't understand how the other party, with such crude technology, dared to do such a big thing and develop outer space colonies before even leaving the star system.
Even if you want to play, at least open a branch base first to verify the technology.
But the people on this planet are so good that they just go all out and do this in their hometown.
Do all civilizations inevitably move toward self-destruction after their cognitive abilities and technology develop to a certain level? The Dark Prince has undoubtedly heard about how those once glorious ancient civilizations on the continent of Faerun destroyed themselves one by one, and he thinks that the situation in this world is similar.
Otherwise, with the technology they had at the time, they could easily continue their civilization for thousands or even tens of thousands of years even if they stopped developing and just lived off their past achievements.
"It was...it was our ancestors who destroyed themselves?!"
The truth undoubtedly deeply shocked Rebecca and the entire expedition team, including the leader.
They did not suspect the Prince of Darkness of lying or deceiving.
Because with the power displayed by the opponent, there is no need to use such tricks.
Graya nodded slightly. "Yes, they destroyed themselves. This is not a special case, but the common fate of many civilizations that think they are powerful. It is also the inevitable result of the arrogance in the bones of mortals."
"What about you? What is your plan in coming to our world?"
The older woman asked enthusiastically immediately after a brief shock.
"For faith. I am looking for a group of believers to serve as my followers and build a dark empire of my own."
Graya stated his intentions directly.
"Faith? You mean... let us believe in you and build a church, and then get some kind of salvation?"
Rebecca's expression changed slightly.
Due to her special experiences in her childhood, she has always been disgusted and even hateful towards those institutions that make money in the name of religion and enslave the poor.
Graya obviously noticed this and asked meaningfully, "You seem to have a strong aversion to religion and faith, don't you?
But please don't confuse me with those dirty, ugly guys.
In my opinion, faith should not be a one-sided request, but a contract between man and God.
Mortals are responsible for providing faith, while gods are responsible for providing help, including divine magic, so that their believers can survive better.
This is what a healthy religion should look like.
So as long as you are willing to believe in and serve me, I will grant you the power called divine magic, as well as a special physique that allows you to move freely on the surface world regardless of the cold."
Divine magic?
A physique that allows one to ignore the cold and move freely on the surface world?
Upon hearing these two conditions, everyone in the expedition team couldn't help but become excited.
Although they did not understand what divine magic was, they were well aware of the great convenience it would bring if they could ignore the cold. They could even explore remote areas that no one had ever been to and dig out priceless power generation equipment.
As the members of the expedition team exchanged glances, the older woman was the first to kneel down and prostrate herself on the ground, kissing the Dark Prince's leather boots affectionately. She raised her head and chanted devoutly, "Your Highness, the great Dark Prince, from now on you are my faith and my only one. I am willing to dedicate everything to you, even my life."
"I accept your faith and promise to protect your soul. While you are alive, you are my priest and apostle. When you die, I will protect your soul and take it to another world to enjoy eternal peace."
Graya stretched out his finger and gently pressed it on the other's forehead.
In a flash!
A black circular mark was imprinted in the middle of the eyebrows.
At the same time, the woman's pale skin became dull, as if blending into the shadows created by the surrounding light.
The most important thing is that countless knowledge is instilled into the brain in just a few seconds.
When she came to her senses, she had become a wizard and priest who could cast first-level divine spells and first-level arcane spells at the same time.
“This… What is this?!!”
The woman obviously realized what was happening, and her already excited mood became even more fanatical.
Before anyone could react to what was happening, she completed a spell and instantly a stream of scorching hot flame shot out from her fingertips.
Needless to say, this is the [Burning Hands], the most commonly used magic by low-level wizards in the First Ring.
Although the power was much weaker because it drew energy from the Shadow Magic Web, it was enough to shock and disbelieve everyone in the expedition team.
Especially Rebecca, who is a superpower, her whole face looked like she had seen a ghost.
As the person in the team responsible for maintaining the barrier, she simply couldn't believe that such supernatural power could be obtained by ordinary people.
"Great Prince of Darkness! Praise you! Your generosity and kindness are the final salvation of this desperate world! Everyone should pray to you and offer their faith to you!"
The older woman, realizing the power she had gained, once again prostrated herself on the ground in worship.
Since she already believed in the existence of God in this world, she had no spiritual obstacles in the process of building her faith.
"Can you really grant power to believers?"
Rebecca swallowed and began to feel hot and sweaty from head to toe.
Graya smiled and responded: “If you don’t believe it, you can try it yourself.
Of course, not everyone can do this, but there are two prerequisites.
One is that the object of faith must be devout enough to establish a connection of faith;
The second is to have sufficient perception ability, otherwise it is unlikely to sense the existence of divine power or quasi-divine power.
As a psychic, your level of perception must be sufficient.
But the question is, given your childhood experiences, can you really become a devout believer?"
As the last word came out of her mouth, Rebecca immediately showed panic, and her voice suddenly rose eight degrees and asked sternly: "How do you know about my childhood experience? I have never told anyone!"
"Who do you think I am? One of those fake religious charlatans who pretend to be gods and play tricks on power and faith? No, I am the prince of darkness who killed and devoured a god's incarnation when I was born. I am a quasi-god power that is superior to most weak gods.
In my eyes, there are no secrets about each of your experiences, memories, thoughts and ideas in your mind at this moment.
It's like having a book in front of me, I can open it and read the contents whenever I want.
Now please make your choice.
Should I accept the gift and spread the faith to save those living in pain and despair, or should I choose to give up it all and continue to live in a daze and be a numb walking corpse.
I don’t think this should be a difficult decision.”
Graya made his intentions clear.
He is not Zuo Si, who would slowly guide people with great interest, or even play psychological tricks on them to make them submit to his will, leaving them with no choice but to become part of his plan little by little.
In his opinion, these mortals are not worth wasting his time and energy.
If one batch doesn’t work, you can just replace it with another one.
Anyway, there are at least thousands of active expedition teams in this world.
"I am willing to become your believer! I will accept your gift!"
The team leader, who was already quite old, knelt down second. Although his eyes were not as fanatical as the previous woman's, they were very firm.
Because he knew very well that he would not be able to work in this field for long.
Especially since their physical fitness is declining every year, it may not be long before they die of exhaustion, fall to death, freeze to death, or die from diarrhea and gastrointestinal diseases during a long journey.
But if he could obtain those supernatural powers, he could transform himself into a missionary, and then establish a church and enjoy a comfortable life and a longer life through donations from believers like the priests in the city.
"very good."
Graya showed a look of satisfaction and gave the middle-aged man his own mark and shadow physique.
Just like that, under the "leader effect", members of the entire expedition team knelt down one after another and paid homage to the Dark Prince, establishing faith connections with varying degrees of piety.
In order to facilitate the spread of faith, he gave at least LV1 mage level regardless of whether the perception attribute was up to standard.
After all, the mystery of magic and supernatural power are always the things that are most likely to inspire awe in this primitive and ignorant world.
When these "miracles" appear in various gathering places, they will quickly eliminate the deceptive false religions.
In the end, only Rebecca stood there motionless, with an expression of great struggle on her face.
It's not that she doesn't want to kneel down to gain more powerful strength, but her inner rejection of religion makes it impossible to establish a connection of faith.
"Don't push yourself. Faith is a belief from the heart. It is an understanding and practice of the teachings of the gods you serve. If you can't let go of the burden of the past, you might as well try to practice my teachings first."
Graya spoke directly and interrupted the other party's internal energy.
After all, he was still very interested in the rare and unique supernatural beings in this world, and did not intend to drive this young girl crazy.
"Doctrine? What is that?"
Rebecca, sweating profusely, raised her head and looked into the dark prince's deep eyes.
"My ideals, my wishes, and the kind of world I intend to create. I believe you have seen the changes that have taken place in them, right?"
Graya pointed at the others, including the team leader.
Rebecca nodded slightly: "Well, yes, their body structure seems to have changed a little."
“This is actually a manifestation of gaining a shadow physique.
In other words, their life form has changed, they are no longer afraid of the cold, and their demand for food and water has also dropped significantly.
This also means that they are more adaptable to this cruel world.
Even if one day the heat from the center of the earth disappears, and the entire planet is shrouded in temperatures of more than two hundred degrees Celsius below zero from the inside out, it can still survive.
And I intend to transform everyone in this world into this.
In this way, there will be no more hunger and cold, and people can be freed from despair and rebuild their glorious civilization.
I will make you my own followers and grant you knowledge and power.
All you have to do is serve me as your Lord and devote your faith and spiritual world to me.
Well, this plan isn't that hard to accept, is it? "
While saying this, Graya had an approachable smile on his face, looking like a kind god who saves people from danger.
But what is the reality? He directly concealed the terrible side effects of transforming into a half-shadow creature and a shadow creature.
Especially when relying on negative energy to survive, the erosion of the soul and consciousness basically means changing the personality while retaining the memory.
Just look at those who have acquired the Shadow Constitution and you will know that from this moment on they are firmly bound to the Dark Prince, and there is no possibility of betrayal or giving up their faith.
Unfortunately, Rebecca did not notice this. Instead, she thought this should be a good thing for all mankind. After a little thought, she nodded vigorously and said, "Yes, this may be the only way to save the world and mankind. I am willing to try to practice your teachings and gradually develop faith in them."
"Very good. I have prepared a batch of potions that can give people a shadow physique, as well as books on how to learn and use magic. Now you can take them and other supplies back to the underground world."
Graya waved his hand and directly showed what he had ordered the New Phyrexian creations to prepare long ago.
There were more than 20 oil-burning trucks that had been modified to be able to travel through the complex terrain of the underground world. Each truck was loaded with more than 100 tons of cargo. For the expedition team that had previously only been able to rely on carrying goods on their backs or on sleds, this kind of transportation efficiency was definitely a miracle that they could not even imagine.
If it is successfully transported back, the entire underground city will be in an uproar.
Even the high-ranking nobles would cheer for them and even allow them to enter the inner city and become part of the ruling class.
"Please rest assured, we will never let you down and will spread your name to every settlement in the underground world."
The team leader patted his chest and gave a solemn promise.
Because he had just acquired the Shadow Physique, certain desires in his heart did not disappear immediately, so he was already imagining how much wealth and power he could gain by returning with so many supplies.
“I hope so.
Now go to the guest room prepared for you and have a good sleep. When you wake up, you will start your return journey.
Remember, I am not a mean host.
No matter who makes achievements, he will be rewarded, whether it is strength, power, status, or wealth including money.
But if anyone only wants to use my name to make his life easier, he will lose my favor and be severely punished. "
After saying this, Graya waved his hand to signal the expedition team that they could leave. He then held little Altria in his arms and thought about how to educate this little girl to prevent her from becoming naughty and rebellious like her sister.
