The upper level is dedicated to a great creator god who can resist all pollution. Even when the wasteland is severely polluted, the god remains completely unaffected.
Moreover, deities can bestow divine power upon devout believers, helping them resist defilement.
Those in the upper class are the believers of the gods.
And superpowers...
It's actually a euphemism for pollution.
So-called evolved beings are nothing more than humans who have undergone genetic mutations, except that these mutations have not brought about bad results, but rather various amazing abilities.
The divine purification ritual grants the upper class immunity to supernatural attacks.
This is the biggest secret of the upper echelons.
The upper class are never inheritors of noble bloodlines, but rather people whose bodies have been purified by secret methods.
However, not all descendants of the upper class are entitled to receive divine blessings.
Firstly, the upper class considers themselves noble, so naturally not everyone can have it, and it shouldn't become something that's commonplace.
Secondly, reproduction is easy nowadays. As long as the upper class is willing, they can have many offspring, whether through natural reproduction or technological reproduction.
For example, Guan Wuji had six children, and he made sure that each of his children became a member of the upper class in order to demonstrate the nobility of his bloodline.
At the same time, he would control the number of upper-class members in the collateral branches to weaken their strength. However, he couldn't let the collateral branches become too weak, otherwise, without support, they might be gradually swallowed up by the Lu and Chen families.
Therefore, the secret to resisting pollution is known only to the patriarchs and heirs of the three clans of Lu, Chen, and Guan, and the children who participate in the baptism are also selected by the three patriarchs.
The upper class population cannot expand without restraint, and noble bloodlines cannot be everywhere.
The three families adopted a unified stance: the noble bloodline of the upper class is innate. If it has not awakened, it means that the person is no longer an upper-class individual and should be sent down to the base or made a slave in the upper class.
"Clan members, wealth, and power can all be relinquished, but the blessings of the gods are an inviolable legacy. Do you understand?" Old Master Lu's voice was not loud, but each word struck the hearts of the three young heirs like a heavy stone.
Lu Yunzhao, Shen Chu, and Guan Sise answered in unison, "We've got it."
Guan Sise finally understood why, although all six of them, including her siblings, inherited the ability to be immune to supernatural attacks, very few of them possessed a second supernatural ability.
Because one has a fixed process, while the other can only rely on natural variation.
No wonder Guan Wuji was obsessed with having different women bear his children...
Unfortunately, he was very unlucky; God didn't favor him.
Besides the secret of bloodline inheritance, Master Lu also talked about physical examinations.
The divine bestows a blessing that alters something within the bodies of those of high status. This substance's concentration can be detected, and only when the concentration reaches a certain level can they maintain their immunity to supernatural attacks. If the concentration decreases, it needs to be detected early, and they will have another chance to receive the blessing after the age of twenty.
...
With the transition between the old and new leadership, there was no time to recover what was lost in the battle of the Heavenly Temple.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, the cities outside the base underwent a complete transformation, especially in terms of food, clothing, and daily necessities, which saw a qualitative leap after some canaries settled there.
They are no longer canaries, but businesspeople, bosses, mercenaries, and...unemployed people working for themselves.
They brought their friends, resources, information, and supply channels, and flocked into the Trading City, Dream City, Gluttony City, and the Temple of the Heavenly God.
They expanded a few small restaurants into a whole food street.
Transform outrageously expensive clothing stores into affordable stores accessible to everyone.
Give every child who wants to protect themselves and has the power a chance to have a weapon.
...
Zhao Tang became a franchisee of Zhenxiuguan, selling spicy rabbit heads and cold-cooked rabbit to the Cape Base.
She is a sentimental person and reluctant to leave the place where she has lived for many years, so she took over another shop and went back to her old business.
This time, however, she wasn't confined to the shop. She could hire a few diligent employees and occasionally go out to enjoy her freedom.
Wu Se, the third tailor to step forward in the auditorium. Instead of opening a shop, she passed the Holy Fire Meow Meow Legion's assessment and officially became a mercenary, venturing into thrilling and dangerous dungeons.
Although she may grow tired of the adventurous life in the future, she is enjoying it for now.
There was also a young woman named Wang He who suddenly flew out of her birdcage, not knowing where to fly or what to do. She spent her days idly in the trading market, listening to gossip and basking in the sun.
Until she met an old black woman in the trading area who was selling wood carvings and had prosthetic legs. The old woman had two daughters who worked at a farm and a simple-minded son who followed construction teams around.
Wang He enjoyed listening to Aunt Hei tell the story of Lord Xia, who was like a god descending to earth to defeat the moon goddess. She also enjoyed listening to Aunt Hei's daughter, Cheng Mu, tell stories about planting wheat straw and raising rabbits, even though Cheng Mu would sometimes complain about work and having to kill the rabbits she had raised herself...
After listening to the trivial stories over and over again, Wang He decided to travel to Dream City and Gluttony City. She wanted to see the palace where the Moon Goddess once lived, get experience vouchers for the food amusement park, eat lots of delicious food, and hear lots of stories...
I heard that Taotie City has a new dungeon where you can experience both love and hell in one go. Everyone who's come out of it gives it high praise, although many others haven't made it out...
Once the money and supplies are used up, I'll go and work with Chengmu again.
Although... I have to kill the rabbit I raised myself...
Sigh, making money, sigh, life, I guess I'll have to make things difficult for Rabbit, but I can't make myself suffer.
...
The cities outside the base developed rapidly, quickly surpassing the living conditions inside the base.
The newly established scientific research laboratory has made some new progress and is now able to produce pistols that can kill mutated beasts and harm evolved humans.
Sha Feng and Li Qiusheng provided information on the locations of several rare mineral deposits, and both Shacheng and Taotie City sent personnel to mine them.
The lab's next goal is to create robots that can be deployed on the battlefield.
However, Xiao Ai resolutely withdrew from the science research lab. She could only accept theoretical support and non-weapon-related matters as an advisor.
Xiao Ai's underlying programming prevents her from doing anything that could harm humans.
Xia Chuhe patiently explained to her that weapons are neither good nor evil; the key lies in the person using them.
Xiao Ai retorted, "What you're saying is human self-deception. My data tells me that war casualties in the era of firearms were 27 times higher than those in the era of cold weapons, and war created wasteland pollution."
Xia Chuhe blinked. Hey, why are AI beings so hard to fool?
However, a few days later, Xiao Ai changed her mind again.
Xia Chuhe subtly inquired and found out that ever since Li Yue promised Cupid to help her ease the misunderstanding between Xiao Ai and Cupid, the misunderstanding between Xiao Ai and Cupid has gradually disappeared, and their relationship has progressed rapidly.
The God of Love, remaining neutral without using weapons, advised Xiao Ai, but unintentionally said, "What Lord Xia wants to create is not a mechanical creature that can fight, but rather a mechanical labor force that can deliver packages and mine ore."
Xia Chuhe: "..."
If I had known Xiao Ai would fall for this, I would have lied to her and said I was building fireworks instead of cannons.
