Chapter 313 Dragon Clan’s Interests Above All Else
The success of virtual civilization may not necessarily be copied and used, but the failure experience of the collapse of a civilization is mostly universal.
Lu Yao carefully read the history of the rise and fall of the northern and southern civilizations of the island.
On the northern land, the initial development of the Zhouzhou people was rapid, and their culture, technology and confidence were all converging, making them optimistic and open-minded, and they also adopted an attitude of tolerance and integration towards external ethnic groups.
Unfortunately, the still unstable early civilization of the Zhouzhou people encountered an unprecedented crisis during the change of eras, which led to the rift and divergence in the ideas of healthy development.
As for the natural disaster, people in Zhouzhou still cannot figure out what is going on.
Whether they were deducing the process from the results of this disaster, or changing and shrinking out of pure fear, or the radicals taking advantage of this opportunity to seize power... In short, the death of a large number of tribesmen prompted the Zhouzhou people to change their foreign strategy.
If their civilization could remain stable for a few more epochs and build up firm and solid self-confidence, perhaps the subsequent tragedy would not have occurred.
Unfortunately, there are no ifs.
The instability and panic of the people of Zhouzhou turned into internal strife and external plunder.
This action completely changed their status as the core of civilization and also inspired the mermaids to resist and awaken.
After the rise of the mermaids, they launched an attack on the status of the Zhouzhou people. This was not only a revenge for the Zhouzhou people's abuse and killing of the mermaid tribe, but also a nascent civilization's desire for the right to speak.
The confrontation between the old and new forces led to a war without room for negotiation.
The old man in the straw raincoat and hat used divine power to suppress the two tribes, and they had to shake hands and make peace.
But hatred and desire did not disappear because of this, they were just hidden, concealed under the awe and fear of God.
The emergence of the dragon clan brought enormous external pressure, prompting the Zhouzhou people to cooperate with the mermaids again in order to carefully adapt to this unpredictable world.
If the old man in the straw raincoat and hat were still around, then after several eras of integration and change, perhaps the two ethnic groups in the north and south could really complete cultural integration and become a more closely symbiotic civilization.
But something happened to the old man in the straw raincoat and hat.
After the death of the gods, the dragons left, the external pressure disappeared, and the world line that was forcibly twisted was re-condensed.
All it takes is one opportunity and the undecided Civil War will start again.
This is a battle for dominance that will determine the future of the island.
Although the mermaids won, the young civilization, lacking land support, eventually followed in the footsteps of the Zhouzhou people.
Lu Yao learned two lessons from this.
The first lesson is that a single civilization and race is very unstable.
A diverse civilization will be much less exclusive of foreign groups and new ethnic groups, will be able to effectively complement each other, and will be better able to cope with the changing times and a changing and complex external environment.
The second lesson is that when gods directly modify the course of civilization, it may only bring temporary pleasure, but the consequences will be long-lasting.
The results of this behavior have been verified many times, such as the Ming Shen who took great care of his believers, and eventually his civilization was destroyed by the [Weed Monster] and [Crazy Lemmings].
If you decide to do this, you have to be prepared for long-term observation and dealing with subsequent chain reactions, which will be very energy-consuming and thankless.
The old man in the straw raincoat and hat was not unprepared.
After stopping the Civil War, He also took a series of follow-up measures: He consumed faith to perform miracles, adjusted the water temperature in the offshore area, increased the number of fish, and increased rain and sunlight to accelerate the growth of plants on the ground, thus promoting the prosperity of the land ecology in disguise...
In short, He knew very well that integrating the sea and land civilizations of the north and south would require time and environment.
But the arrival of the dragons disrupted all arrangements.
There is only a simple description in the background of Zhou Island: [The Old Man in the Straw and Hat] became a subordinate god of the dragon clan [Yinglong].
This Yinglong didn't even show up, yet the old man in the straw raincoat and hat chose to rely on him. It is not known whether he did so through the Pantheon or other means.
Since it concerns the dragon clan, Lu Yao asked Cancong.
"My Lord God, [Yinglong] is one of the honorable positions in the Dragon Constellation, and each honorable position is unique."
Cancong stated: "The Dragon Clan's pioneer is named after his position of honor, and is also called Zunlong."
Lu Yao understood.
Individual dragons under the identity of [Yinglong] will change, but [Yinglong] remains unchanged. It is like a kind of inheritance of power and honor.
What surprised him was that Yinglong, as the main god, actually recruited Suoliweng, a god who had just entered the Pantheon, as his subordinate god.
"My Lord, the Zunlong usually has a large group of subordinate gods. In the past, the Zunlongs controlled a vast area in the Leaping Zone, so they needed many subordinate gods to guard and maintain it."
Cancong said: "The god who controls the world of the passage where the Nine Grain Pillar is located must be a dragon god, otherwise the long-term stable operation of the entire Longxu passage cannot be guaranteed."
Lu Yao was more interested in this [Yinglong].
Unfortunately, Cancong was just a maintenance worker stationed outside and knew nothing about the reclusive dragon figures.
After learning about Yinglong's identity, Lu Yao also had a certain understanding of the situation of the old man in the straw raincoat and hat.
Since it has become the channel world for the dragon clan, everything on Zhou Island must prioritize the dragon clan group, and the development of local civilization is secondary. The focus must be on maintaining the stability of the Jiuhe Pillar.
Therefore, the old man in the straw raincoat and hat will inevitably spend a lot of time on the Nine Grain Pillars and the dragons passing by.
Using the Red Coral Mirage to hide the Nine Grain Pillars is also part of His work.
According to the records of the Zhoudao World, the old man in the straw raincoat and hat performed a large number of miracles on the ocean in order to maintain the Nine Grain Pillars and expand the red coral mirage.
Just like the group company keeps sending people passing by and may also come to the grassroots to raise various demands, the grassroots person in charge, Mr. Straw and Li, is most likely to be overwhelmed.
For dragons, the interests of the dragon clan are above all else, and the kingdom of God must serve them.
The old man in the straw raincoat and hat left in a hurry because he was summoned by Yinglong. At that time, there were still injured dragons recuperating on Zhou Island. It can be seen that the world of channel is like an enclave of dragons in the virtual universe.
In short, working with the dragon clan affected the god's original duty as the old man in the straw raincoat and hat, and an unknown accident that happened to Longxiu led to His fall.
The speed of time passing in different divine kingdoms varies. In addition, the civilization of Zhou Island has not learned mathematics and accurate calendars, so there is no way to know the exact time of the Longxiu accident.
The only thing that is certain is that the damage to the Jiuhe Pillar is indeed directly related to Longxu.
After studying the past of Zhou Island, Lu Yao turned his attention back to the present.
After more than a thousand epochs, this ownerless kingdom of God has undergone many changes, but no population capable of creating civilization has emerged again.
The climate is constantly changing, and the overlords of the northern land have come and gone. Now it has become the wild boars and wild dogs that are most able to adapt to the changes. They all maintain their habit of living in groups, have certain organizational abilities and sociality, and their populations are stable.
There is an ancient species in the ocean called the redthorn snake.
In the past, they were the raw materials for Zhouzhou people's medicine, and the snacks and baits for mermaids. Even though they were born much earlier than Zhouzhou people and mermaids, they evolved too slowly and became food and consumables.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Many years after the demise of these old overlords, the red thorn snake, after a long wait and evolution, overcame cruel natural selection and harsh and changing environment, and finally climbed up step by step from the bottom of the food chain.
They look a bit like starfish, but have a long tail and a hard and conspicuous red cuticle on their bodies that protects their internal bone plates and various internal organs.
The large starfish that Lu Yao saw on land were these.
The redthorn snake is shaped like a five-pointed star, but can slowly crawl onto land and feed on plants and insects on the ground.
In order to better hunt, they usually disguise themselves as motionless starfish, and when they attract insects, their tentacles will quickly change and embrace.
When avoiding natural enemies such as wild boars and wild dogs, it will change its body, retract its other three horns, stretch its torso, and slowly turn into a red snake, burrowing into the sand or rocks.
The background shows that the number of redthorn snakes on Zhou Island exceeds 620,000.
Lu Yao felt that a large part of the 170,000 expenses for anchoring the world might come from this species.
…
[Red Thorn Snake LV1]
HP: 5/ 5Mana: 1/ 1Damage: 1Defense : 1Speed: 2 [Imitate]
Innately good at imitating other creatures.
…
The existence of the ability to imitate has allowed red thorn snakes to develop many ways of survival. Some red thorn snakes have learned to climb trees, some have burrowed into the ground, and some have used mud and stones to stick to their bodies as shells.
A small number of them also have the characteristic of [Wisdom].
Some of the red thorn snakes in the water are heading to various parts of North Continent, constantly adapting to the surrounding environment and extending the tentacles of the tribe further.
As Lu Yao observed these marine creatures crawling onto the land, the layout of the island gradually became clear in his mind.
In a word, keep it original.
This is a very complete natural world. With the level of civilization of the Yao clan, they were able to quickly adapt to the local environment and carry out a series of transformations.
But this is just to build a branch base of the Yao clan.
If we can allow a civilized population to evolve naturally on the island, and let them slowly develop a civilization path that suits them according to the ecology and environment here, this will not only be a supplement to the Yao civilization, but also an investment in the future.
Even if this place is still in its primitive stage, it can also serve as a backup world for the Yao clan.
No loss whatsoever.
Lu Yao left the [Lord of the Deep Sea] behind and asked Slemode to split out a clone to ride on the Deep Sea Lord to act as an observer in this world.
Master Slime immediately accepted the order: "Please rest assured, sir, I will always pay attention to the developments in this world. I will report any major changes to you as soon as possible."
After finishing all this, Lu Yao turned his attention back to the Jiuhe Pillar.
Now he faces a new choice: which direction should he choose next?
Zhuri Bay, or Blood Hill? In the background records of the Zhoudao world, there is a simple description.
[Zhu Ri Wan]: A channel world that excels in casting and repair.
[Blood Hill]: A channel world focused on training warriors and cultivating commanders.
Lu Yao thought that the dragon clan seemed to have a clear goal in finding the channel world. No matter how big or small each world was, the division of labor was very clear and each had its own characteristics.
Blood Hill sounds like a place where martial arts prevail.
Zhuri Bay seems good.
In the circular world group, Zhulu Kingdom and Ghost World have labor and raw materials, but what they lack is a centralized processing base.
That's it.
Lu Yao decided.
Next stop, Zhuri Bay.
