Chapter 759: God, does it really exist?
Time passed quickly, and the evolution of Pangaea was a vast ocean.
War and wailing, pain and suffering, laughter and tears, these old stories are played out again and again on this ancient land.
But in the Ninth Era, subtle changes occurred. More civilizations left the safe zone early than before, and wars broke out less frequently.
The first technology to spread was "field industrialization."
This idealistic technology has spread to every corner of the world over the past few hundred years, multiplying infinitely like a virus!
The concept of "field" has been improved by countless civilizations, and the forging cost and difficulty have been greatly reduced. It has become a compulsory course for every civilization!
It not only increased the production rate of extraordinary resources, but also further improved the wealth of major civilizations. When resources were not too tight, it was natural for the frequency of wars to decrease.
What followed was the "industrialization of myths."
This term is really too loud. After careful consideration, the name spread among the vast civilization is "bloodline enhancement technology", a very ordinary name.
The only technology that has been spread out is the simplest [Today's Mirror], but it is still valued by the vast majority of civilizations and spreads rapidly!
The Pangaea continent is changing slowly in units of "one hundred years".
…
"The Western Continent is still a desolate wasteland with few people."
On this day, the second elder of the Kame civilization stood on a high mountain, overlooking the vast land.
They came to the Western Continent.
Because the soil contains a lot of iron, whether it is mountains, deserts or the earth, they are all rust red.
The climate here is changeable, sometimes it rises to 50 degrees Celsius, and after a while it suddenly drops to minus 60 degrees Celsius.
In this chaotic environment, there are deserts everywhere and it is difficult for life to survive.
The Western Continent is where the Thick Earth Civilization, the peak civilization of the Sixth Era, grew up. Brutal wars once broke out there, and there are still a lot of residual idealistic radiation.
The resonance of these idealistic radiations leads to the disorder of idealistic rules, and the climate is also affected accordingly.
Of course, fortune and misfortune are interdependent, and the idealistic mineral deposits in the Western Continent will be richer than in other regions.
At this moment, a young turtle scientist's face changed. "Report to the elder, we have discovered regular electromagnetic waves. It may be emitted by a certain civilization... um, the source of the signal from the civilization's trading market!"
He looked a little nervous because this was the first time they found civilization in the Western Continent.
【Kapu Civilization, trading market, sincerely invites you to come! 】
"Since we are here, let's make the best of it. Let's go in that direction and take a look." Elder No. 2 is named Guizhe, and he is proficient in the art of "divination".
Their group was flying an old-fashioned flying fortress made of reinforced concrete, and the entire spacecraft had a population of only more than 2,000 people.
In this strange place, the more dilapidated the spaceship is, the safer it is.
If the level of civilization displayed is too high, there will be huge risks.
The flying fortress slowly moved forward at a speed of eighty kilometers per hour.
After flying for two days, they finally arrived at their destination. Turtle Philosopher No. 2 couldn't help but widen his eyes and walked forward. At the junction of the withered yellow continent and the red ocean, stood a hazy city.
There seemed to be a fairly good civilization living here, and occasionally a spaceship would take off and head off into the distance.
The ground was shrouded in fog and it was impossible to see clearly what was inside.
[Unknown civilization, the Kapu civilization market lies ahead! Please state your purpose. Guests are rewarded with fine wine, and enemies are rewarded with artillery shells!]
[Your civilization's spacecraft must remain at its designated location! No war is allowed in this vicinity; otherwise, it will be considered a hostile act!]
It sounds normal.
The flying fortress slowly landed, and the technicians sent electromagnetic waves to communicate.
The other party responded quickly.
Guizhe took a deep breath and said, "Everyone, no matter how dangerous it is, we must move forward and take a look. You all should follow me. I will maintain telepathic communication at all times."
"Wake up old man, we need strong reinforcements."
Under the control of several strange demons, a strange creature walked out of a sealed room.
It looks like a turtle, black in color and has two heads.
One of the heads had no mouth or nose, only a bloodshot eye, and a weird and ominous aura filled the air.
The young turtles around couldn't help but hold their breath, lowered their heads, and dared not look directly.
"Old Man" comes from the Second Age, an unknown demon.
It possessed a ghost!
The name of the [ghost] is [Ghost·Evil Darkness]. Even in the First Era, it was a well-known evil creature.
The Kame civilization has the inheritance of the Mo Sect, a strong foundation, and its technical strength is hundreds or thousands of times stronger than that of the Hongben Alliance. This kind of possession with the help of [magic] can exert high-level combat effectiveness in a short period of time.
But if you want to control [Ghost·Evil Darkness], you have to pay a heavy price.
[Old Man] can only last for one day at most, and then he has to sleep for a long time, which is equivalent to a one-time combat power.
I saw this strange existence with bloodshot eyes, in a wave-particle duality state of reality and illusion. It was like a virtual image, but it could also cast shadows under the light and interfere with reality.
The shadow behind him is like a wriggling mosaic, which may riot at any time.
[What's the matter... that you're so anxious to wake me up?] The [Ghost] said in a hoarse voice, sounding a little anxious. [Junior, don't you know that my awake time is limited?]
"Old man, the Ninth Era is very different from the past. It is an era full of hope."
"No matter how great the cost, we have to buy some time. This time, we have divined some abnormal phenomena, and we need your help." Guizhe said respectfully, and then presented a small bottle.
[Acquired mythology bloodline? You guys figured this out?] [Ghost·Evil Darkness]'s voice remained somewhat flat. [Alas, it doesn't mean much. In the First Era, there are plenty of acquired mythologies. Why take a detour?]
Guizhe quietly explained more information.
This time, the acquired myth is different from the past. Even their own Kame civilization has enjoyed the dividends of the times. He himself has become an acquired myth!
[I see… Letting the next myth farm? Interesting…]
The Ghost was silent for a moment, then spoke again in a cold voice: "Alright, I've sensed the enemy's presence. It's active on this continent. I'll take action if necessary."
[But don't go too far, otherwise, you will die! ]
The turtles were trembling with fear, because they knew deeply that some things were unknowable.
Once they realized that this war weapon of the highest level was in front of them, they would be slaughtered immediately!
But they still have to investigate and dance on the edge of a knife.
"Old man, please enter this mirror."
This is an improved version of the [Today's Mirror]. It can not only enhance bloodline power, but can also be used as a space prop. This mirror is only one square meter in area and can be installed on power armor.
The pitch-black ghost disappeared into the Today's Mirror...
Just like that, after preparing their trump card, the Kame civilization team marched out of the spaceship in a mighty force.
The two teams met.
"We are the Donggui Civilization expedition team that just left the safe zone. We happened to receive the battery wave sent by your civilization, so we came here to check it out." Guizhe made a friendly gesture and used the divine skill of [Translation].
"You just left the safe zone. A little late, but not too late, because you met us." The diplomats of the Kapu civilization, also wearing power armor, spoke in an inexplicably charming voice. "Our trading market buys and sells everything. We even have the latest knowledge on field industrialization!"
"What...field industrialization?" Guizhe asked hurriedly.
"Heh, young civilization, you're lucky you've found us," the other party said with a smug smile. "This is a popular technology from the Ninth Era. I don't know which civilization developed it, but it can significantly increase productivity. If you'd like to purchase it, we'll sell you the full set at a low price!"
The world is bustling with people seeking profit. As long as two civilizations do not go to war when they meet, trade is the best option.
The Kame people team of Kameaki pretended to be excited and obtained a lot of information through indirect means.
It turns out that field industrialization was introduced a hundred years ago. It's outrageous.
"Besides that, we also have 'Bloodline Enhancement Technology'! However, this is more difficult to achieve, requiring a high level of craftsmanship, at least a master craftsman. Does your civilization possess this capability?"
These guys talked freely, pressed a button, took off their helmets, and revealed their true appearance - somewhat similar to humans, with a single horn on their heads and light blue skin.
An inexplicable charm is coming upon you!
These well-informed turtle people, upon seeing each other's appearance, suddenly felt a slight favor in their hearts, as if this Ka Portuguese was the greatest benefactor in their lives! Even though the two sides were of different races, they still had an infinite good impression of each other.
The leading Turtle Man No. 2, Turtle Tseu, narrowed his eyes and telepathically informed his teammates, "Let's take off our helmets too. Everyone, act normal and don't resist this goodwill."
In fact, there is no need for deliberate praise. The eyes of those young turtle people gradually became blurred, and their blood surged. The more they looked at each other, the more they found each other charming - fortunately, the Kame civilization is an egg-laying race, and there is no pleasure in mating, so they can resist it casually.
"Unfortunately, respected Kapu Civilization, we... don't have a master craftsman."
"That's a pity."
Upon seeing the appearance of the Kame civilization, the Kapo diplomat smiled. "However, within our city, we have some slaves of a similar ethnicity to yours. They already possess the ancient bloodline that we have carefully transformed. If your civilization is willing to purchase them, their offspring might also possess a hint of bloodline potential."
"Then I'd rather obey than surrender. Please lead the way and let us see the real powerful civilization." Guizhe showed an interested expression, but his heart sank to the bottom of the sea.
The Kapu civilization is similar to the "Beautiful Civilization" of the Eighth Era, doing the same thing - dispersing its own population among other civilizations.
However, in the Ninth Era, due to the emergence of mythological industrialization, ancient bloodlines suddenly became commonplace, similar to the ability of "Beautiful Civilization" to enhance bloodlines, and suddenly became unattractive.
As you walk along, you will be intoxicated by the magnificent architectural art.
It is comparable to the masterpiece of a grandmaster.
"A beautiful civilization has been resurrected in the Western Continent."
Suddenly, Guizhe's heart skipped a beat.
He saw a crystal sculpture standing in the center of the square, penetrated by a beam of light from an unknown source.
Light shatters, refracts, and regenerates within the sculpture, piercing the surrounding darkness with countless tiny holes and casting ever-changing shadows on the walls, as if countless invisible elves are dancing on the walls.
When he saw the sculpture, even Gui Zhe felt an indescribable sense of fascination, as if a stream of light enveloped his heart, suppressing his thoughts. He knew this strange feeling was poisonous, but he couldn't stop.
Immediately afterwards, the [Mirror of Tomorrow] in the power armor made a light "click" sound, which flashed through the mind like lightning.
This is the old man's warning.
Guizhe was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat.
Looking at the crystal sculpture again, he became extremely cautious.
Each person's eyes reflected different forms and saw completely different things: storm, silence, birth, death...
And it remains silent throughout, just receiving the light, decomposing the light, and then creating light again - as if the most secret laws in the universe are solidified in this transparent substance, so beautiful that it inspires awe and fear.
"What is this..." He pretended to be confused.
"This is... a god!" the Kapo people proudly introduced. "Everything we have now is the guidance of the god."
"God, does it really exist?"
"Of course!! Only by throwing ourselves into the arms of God can we escape the calamity of the era and enter the eternal kingdom."
"Since there are gods like this, why do we need to develop technology and industrialize the field?" Guizhe suppressed his fear and asked softly, "Can't we just enter the Eternal Kingdom directly?"
The Kapoor diplomat glanced at the old turtle and said speechlessly, "God cannot fulfill our wishes endlessly. Most things still need to be done by us personally."
"Furthermore, even to become a servant of God, one must perform meritorious deeds."
"How can I achieve great things?"
Suddenly, the mirror behind him made another sound. This question might involve the boundaries of cognition.
Fortunately, the Kapu civilization didn't offer an answer, perhaps even they couldn't answer it themselves. "Alright, please follow me. I'll introduce you to the Kapu market, its best-selling items, and some of the civilizations that have joined."
As they walked along, the turtles became more and more frightened.
They saw many strange statues, more than one. Some were filled with blood, and some were like crystals, sparkling in the sun.
When they looked at the statue, the statue also looked at them with a smile...
Those pairs of eyes were looking at them... It was like countless pairs of densely packed eyes were staring at them!
…
In the end, Kamebi civilization did not choose to start a war...
It's not just because of their combat power, but they are also worried that launching an extermination campaign immediately will trigger some special mechanisms - conceptual abilities, which are too special. Their Kame civilization is not the protagonist of the era and has been defeated too many times. Even the [Old Man] has been defeated too many times.
Therefore, the decision not to start a war was made by the [Old Man] himself.
After leaving the trading market, everyone erased their memories, including the highest-ranking Turtle Man No. 2, Turtle Zhe.
Only one letter written by Guizhe himself remained, stored in the computer.
"They may not have fully awakened... The old man estimates that even if the entire civilization of the Western Continent were to be destroyed, it would not be enough to awaken them, because the civilization of the Western Continent is too weak and its idealistic power is limited."
"The emergence of myth industrialization unexpectedly delayed this spread, as if everything was developing in a predetermined direction."
"But they don't want to hasten the arrival of the epochal disaster... Before civilization develops to a certain level, they are happy to see it happen..."
"We will stay here and conduct a long-term investigation into the spread rate. This is dangerous, but it is also our responsibility."
…
…
(The turtle had an operation, and the cost could buy dozens of new ones, but it’s not a big deal, a few hundred dollars is still affordable. I hope it gets better soon and eats a lot.)
(I typed some words in a hurry, so I apologize for the delay.)
