Chapter 717: The Birth of a Myth
The opportunity to reach the top in one step is right before them. The legacy of a level 6 or even level 7 civilization, plus the entire moon, is enough for them to become the pinnacle civilization of the ninth era!
The Flame Snake Civilization was extremely anxious, but they also knew that haste would not get them the better of them.
What should I do?
So during the more than 500 years in Pangu Continent, they tried their best to develop and frantically excavated the remains of civilization.
The Rubik's Cube artificial intelligence would wake up for a while from time to time and give out a small amount of information.
In an ancient document, the Fire Snake Civilization finally found what they wanted - a very unique civilization once existed in this area.
The document reads: […They call themselves a beautiful civilization. Even though they only have the strength of a third-level civilization, the living standard of this race is far beyond that of a fifth-level civilization.]
[The beautiful and civilized ethnic groups generally have an ability called [Transformation], and they regard cultivating their appearance as the highest belief, just like peacocks competing for beauty. The most important career in their lives is to improve their appearance. ]
[The overall strength of the beautiful civilization is mediocre and cannot reach the level of a fourth-level civilization, but their bloodline is extremely special. Not only can they change their own form, but they also have no reproductive isolation from most species.]
[A scientific study shows that mating with individuals of beautiful civilizations has a higher chance of giving birth to offspring with ancient blood...]
[Bloodline rules, as the origin of idealism, have a strong research interest even in level 5 and even level 6 civilizations.]
[So the beautiful civilization only needed to sell people to obtain a large amount of high technology and successfully survived to the end of the era. ]
[They have mastered the connections of all the major civilizations, and no civilization dares to easily launch a plundering war...]
This document is simply astonishing!
The beautiful civilization is so unique that it has become the socialite of the Eighth Era.
Just a whisper in the ear of a high-level civilization leader can give the entire ethnic group a good life! They can also get high technology at a low cost.
What's more, the Beautiful Civilization is actually a second-generation civilization - yes, there was a second-generation civilization in the Ninth Era, and naturally there was one in the Eighth Era as well.
They had escaped from Pangu Continent a long time ago, but because they were so incompetent and relied on external forces for everything, they were pulled back again after several epochs.
Of course, all of the above is not important to the Flame Snake Civilization. The most important thing is... the mythical equipment!
A beautiful civilization may possess one or even multiple pieces of mythical equipment!
The ruins in front of us are most likely the remains of a beautiful civilization!
As long as they have these myths, they will be safe when they travel to the moon.
"This is our grand plan to reach the sky in one step. We must not let it go wrong!" The Fire Snakes looked at each other and made up their minds. "Anyone who blocks us will be destroyed!"
"Chief, do you want to speed up the mining of the ruins?"
"No, don't alert them. Those minotaurs seem to have sensed something and are keeping a close eye on us. We occupy most of the ruins. Even if there are mythical equipment buried underground, it is likely to be ours."
…
…
This is not an isolated case.
On the other side of the ruins, the Red Run Alliance is also closely following the movements of the Human Alliance.
On a large screen, some vague human language was played, which seemed to be secretly recorded by some recording device.
"...Green City has a population of over 10 million... Small population, elite development..." The voice seemed to come from the construction site, and the sounds of excavators and drills could be faintly heard.
"I have signed up for the first batch of diplomatic visitors, but I don't know if I will be selected..."
"Can our workers also go up?"
"Hey, there are a lot of places available, so it can be said to be an all-round expansion of exchanges."
There are only a few sentences, but a lot of information can be analyzed out.
The big blue bull in the lead was breathing heavily, and his eyes as big as copper bells looked around: "Green City, with a population of more than 10 million, is suspected to be an ally of the Human Alliance. Has anyone found this small city nearby?"
"Chairman, this city definitely does not exist within a thousand miles!"
"How much strength can more than 10 million people have?"
The minotaurs sitting near the big round table shouted, "Even if Green City really comes here, we will never give them any territory!"
"That's right! The territory of their human alliance has been determined."
The Red Run Alliance truly looks down on the Human Alliance.
After all, they were the legitimate winners in the last gambling fight and gained more rights to mine the ruins.
As for the Flame Snake Civilization, they really couldn't defeat it.
"Humph, this group of humans actually found a fellow who appeared out of nowhere. Are they trying to imitate the system of our Red Run Alliance?"
"Chairman, even if they find compatriots, they won't be able to learn our system and will only fight among themselves!"
"Not all civilizations can learn from our Red Run Alliance... The more human races there are, the more chaos there will be internally."
In the Red Run Alliance, all races are Tauren.
There are buffalo people who are good at physical work, yellow cattle people who are gentle, and green cattle people who are smarter.
The "Chairman of the Council" who is at the head of the group is a member of the Qingniu people.
The reason why they were able to form an alliance quickly was because... the Qingniu people were a genuine second-generation civilization and they held a major trump card!
Ghost-level phenomenon——【Ushi-ghost】!!
[Niu Gui] was their ancestor, an innate myth transformed by the "Infinite Qi".
This powerful innate myth left a strong confinement on himself at the last moment when his sanity disappeared.
Through this confinement, future generations can drive away the [cow ghost] for a short period of time!
Of course, using this confinement requires a price - blood, a large amount of Tauren blood.
But you have to know that bloodline has gradually declined in the Ninth Era.
Moreover, the stronger the bloodline power, the lower the reproductive ability. This is the underlying rule of Pangu Continent.
Everyone's blood is very thin. Even an extraordinary life form cannot withstand having blood drawn every day.
The Green Oxen simply could not find so many bloodlines, so they could only settle for the next best thing and find a way to accept the rest of the Tauren tribe to expand their population.
This evolved into the origin of the "Red Run Alliance".
"You have a point. The Human Alliance has nothing to fear even if it has one more Green City."
The leader of the Qingniu people exhaled a few times and said proudly: "My Qingniu civilization has already come into contact with humans in the past few eras. I can say that a single human is indeed very strong. They can do almost everything and do everything by themselves, but ten people together may not be strong. They will definitely fight for power and have conflicts."
"One hundred humans are definitely no match for one hundred minotaurs!"
The meeting room was noisy and turned into a belittling contest.
"Humans are just a bunch of losers. I've never seen a human race that doesn't fight among itself!"
Another buffalo man grinned and said, "In the last gambling fight, our warriors beat them down directly, and even their power armor was torn into pieces. Next time they dare to come again, we will continue to beat them again."
Some honest scalpers said: "But our craftsmen are really not as good as theirs... There is no need to say that about others."
These buffalo people were very proud: "The industrialization of that area is indeed good. But as long as we recruit another group of craftsmen from the buffalo tribe, we will definitely be able to turn the tide and trample them under our feet in the field of craftsmanship."
The Tauren are extremely confident; this is their culture.
They firmly believe that with [Niu Gui] as their common ancestor, the Hongben Alliance will become more and more powerful!
Seeing these guys becoming more and more arrogant, the chairman of the Qingniu tribe could not help but knock on the table lightly: "Everyone, please be patient. You don't need to think too much about human-related matters. There is something I must inform you in advance."
The minotaurs suddenly became quiet.
The Council President spoke up: "For some reason, our ancestor [Ushigui] has shown a subtle reaction."
"This is an instinctive alert, as if there is a powerful enemy of the same level not far away."
"Although I have sent people to scout the area and have not found the so-called powerful enemy, you still need to be more vigilant and not relax."
An enemy that can match the [Ghost] level anomaly makes everyone feel cold in their hearts - it is most likely another [Ghost]!
"No way? There's a [ghost] in the ruins?" The silly scalper said, "This is a third-level civilization, and it can also imprison [ghosts]?"
“No, this third-level civilization relic is even richer than I imagined!”
"Normally, the wealth accumulated by a third-level civilization would not exceed 100,000 spiritual charms, but this one obviously far exceeds that. Perhaps there really is some secret?"
Everyone looked at the "Niu Gui" on the screen and fell into deep thought.
[Niu Gui] has a huge body, up to a hundred meters tall, and is completely black, as if enveloped in the thick ink of the night.
No living thing, no powered armor, can withstand the [Bull Ghost] for even a second!
It seals itself within a shroud woven by the Weaver.
But now, it was struggling in the shroud!
A pair of scarlet eyeballs opened halfway, emitting a cold light.
Even though the speed of his struggle was like that of an elderly person who had been paralyzed for ten years and took half a day to move slowly, you have to know that the "shroud" was a rare material with the attribute of time.
Once the [Ox Ghost] breaks free and explodes into ferocity, the consequences will be disastrous!
"Everyone, please contribute some blood."
"The Red Run Alliance owes you nothing. The more blood you contribute, the more say you will have in civilization. This is a life-or-death moment for us."
Suddenly, a spokesperson for the Black Bull Clan raised his hand and said, "Chairman, is it the Flame Snake Civilization that is secretly plotting something to provoke the Bull Ghost?"
"It's possible, but the technological strength of the Flame Snake Civilization is actually slightly higher than ours. It's difficult for us to investigate their plans."
"Don't expect to make the Bull Ghost appear just because of a small incident. That is our last trump card and we must not use it unless it is absolutely necessary."
"Of course, don't worry, we can now control the [Niu Gui] for half an hour. This is our confidence! In the future, it will continue to increase."
This thing is like a super-powerful nuclear bomb, and it is most powerful right before it is launched.
Suddenly someone suggested: "Since this relic is special, why don't we find a way to drive the humans out?"
"Oh, it's difficult! The Human Alliance is indeed the weakest, but at least they have nuclear bombs. They have worked hard to build nuclear bombs and may have tens of thousands of nuclear warheads." The Speaker of the Parliament shook his head, "If we clash with humans, it will be a benefit to the Flame Snake Civilization. If humans bite us, it will be very uncomfortable."
"What if we cooperate with the Flame Snake Civilization and kick humans out of this ruins?"
There was silence in the conference room for a while.
"It's also difficult... This plan has been discussed a long time ago."
"The Flame Snake Civilization has no strategic mutual trust with us. If we kick humans out, how will the benefits be distributed?"
"And the strength of these snake people is indeed stronger than ours. If humans leave, we will have to face the war pressure of the Flame Snake Civilization."
"Even though we have the protection of the [Niu Gui], I just said... we won't use it unless it's a matter of life and death."
The Tauren of the Red Run Alliance have different personalities.
Some races are very arrogant, some are like Hanhan, with weak personalities, and some are arrogant and think that this world is always a world of minotaurs.
But no matter what, the Qingniu people are still very smart and reliable, and all races trust them.
"Humans only occupy a small piece of land, and they can share the pressure with us. This deal is actually quite suitable.
"unless……"
The words haven't finished yet.
Suddenly, the earth shook!
The minotaurs in the room were standing unsteadily, their faces glowing red as they tried hard to keep their bodies steady.
The earthquake was of moderate intensity and the epicenter was not far from the city. It lasted for about ten minutes before the shaking of the entire room gradually disappeared.
"Where did the earthquake happen? How's the [Niugui]? Is there any reaction? Check the damage to the city's buildings!"
"Contact the ruins excavation team on the front line and treat the wounded as soon as possible!" The Speaker of the Parliament issued several instructions in succession.
Immediately afterwards, news came from the front line!
"Report! The city's earthquake resistance glyphs and solidity glyphs were activated immediately. The damage to the city is relatively minor, with only a few sporadic incidents of injuries caused by objects thrown from high altitudes."
"Hahaha, Speaker, don't worry!" A big buffalo grinned with a mouthful of yellow teeth. "We have thick skin and flesh, so we won't be affected by a few hits."
"The earthquake source is located in the middle of the Human Alliance and our mining area, 15 kilometers from the surface, and the earthquake magnitude is 6.5."
Before I hung up the phone, another emergency call came in, the voice was very urgent: "Report! Colorful rays of light appeared at the earthquake location! It seems to be a high-level extraordinary item that has appeared in the world!"
This matter soon attracted the attention of the Red Run Alliance, and they ignored all the bullshit agreements and contracts!
"Let's go get that high-grade material!"
A large group of minotaurs picked up their weapons, boarded the spaceship, and headed towards the direction of the glow...
