I became a god by treasure hunting after arriving 500 years early
Chapter 956 607: Tower Top Civilization and Thick Earth Civilization (Part 2)

He seemed a bit reluctant: "But that's a relic left by the Thick Earth Civilization..."

"Come on, it's already the last Epoch, how long do you plan to hide it? Until the Tenth Epoch?"

Even the most knowledgeable among them, the Big Crystal Man, conceded to this. He sighed, "If the Ninth Epoch is truly the final one, we'll all be dead by the end of it."

"If there is a Tenth Epoch, those of us who survive by luck will lose most of our memories and continue living buried in the earth, just like before. We won't fade away as we do now."

The Crystal Man "Old Yao" seemed convinced.

He hesitantly took out a wooden box from his Storage Space.

Then, trembling all over, he began to cry bitterly, his crystal-like tears falling to the ground in torrents: "This relic from the Thick Earth Civilization must be properly utilized."

Lu Yuan was caught in a dilemma; it was awkward whether he accepted it or not.

Old Cat, with eyes wide open, prayed in his heart: "Give the treasure to humans, why give it to this greedy guy? Give it to humans, I beg you!"

The next second, he handed the box over: "It's yours! Hurry up and take it!"

Old Cat let out a disgruntled "meow."

Lu Yuan opened it and found a handful of yellow soil inside the wooden box.

[Earth: Soil that can grow and expand on its own, containing seeds of some unknown plants.]

From an Extraordinary Level point of view, it barely qualifies as an Extraordinary Item; it seems not very useful to most civilizations.

But its value is beyond words.

In this era, "Earth" has long been extinct.

"It only appears when Heaven and Earth first open, and can accelerate the world's Growth, providing plants a stable environment to thrive."

"Now you only have one Tree of Life, which is quite meager."

"In the future, possibly more Innate Plants will emerge on their own."

"However, once the world fully matures, the Earth will turn into ordinary soil. By then, you should take some Earth aside and use it as seeds." The Big Crystal Man advised, "Its usage is simple, just integrate it into the Qiankun World."

Lu Yuan, overjoyed, immediately bowed to the Strangers: "Thank you, seniors, for your gift."

He divided the Earth into two parts, scattering 90% near the Tree of Life and 10% in the Yin World.

Although it is difficult to visually judge the impact of this handful of yellow soil, as time passes, the benefits will gradually become apparent.

Innate Plants refer to the legendary World Tree, Enlightenment Tree, and some other plants. Lu Yuan was very much looking forward to them.

But thinking of the long and arduous process, he felt an itch in his heart.

"Oh, by the way, regarding the Thick Earth Civilization, you must not mention this term once you get outside." The Big Crystal Man's eyes flickered with a trace of sorrow, "Even here, we must avoid mentioning it to prevent disaster. Don't bring it up again in the future."

"Are you talking about the Sixth Epoch?" Lu Yuan's eyes widened, his heart racing.

"Yes."

The Sixth Epoch was referred to by Strangers as the strongest Epoch, which altered the entire Pangu Continent.

"You still need to go above the sky and seize that moon. It's been hanging there for too long; it's time it was fully utilized."

"Wha... what?" Lu Yuan and Old Cat were taken aback.

"Transfer that moon here to serve as the sun for the Qiankun World."

"Or even, you could integrate the moon to become your heart... that is a very high-level instrument.'

The Big Crystal Man warned earnestly, "However, be careful; it's very difficult and dangerous."

"So many years have passed, and we don't know what's become of the moon. It may be filled with endless terror..."

Lu Yuan speculated, "Is the moon from the Fifth Epoch?"

"Yes."

Lu Yuan fell silent.

According to the sparse records in the Northern Territory's literature, the Fifth Epoch gave birth to an extraordinarily advanced interstellar civilization.

This interstellar civilization was nothing like the half-baked Lanpeng people; its brilliance illuminated the entire Pangu Continent.

Even though its real name is untraceable, later scholars still refer to it as the "Tower Top Civilization."

In the vast universe, countless civilizations compete for survival; across the boundless time and space, billions of lives vie for dominance, but among them, some civilizations in the Material Universe inevitably stand out, passing through the great filter, and one of them is the "Tower Top Civilization."

For unknown reasons, the "Tower Top Civilization" came to the Pangu Continent, directly pioneering the path of Materialism.

"They transformed Pangu Continent's moon into a planetary fortress, which then represented the power of Materialism," the Crystal Man remarked wistfully.

"Unfortunately... only a very small fraction of their population came here, and their industrial capacity was lacking."

"Otherwise, the Epoch Disaster could have been resolved during the Fifth Epoch. The fully-realized Tower Top Civilization might be the strongest civilization across all Epochs... It's said that their citizens existed in pure energy form, like individual light balls, with thought speeds at light speed."

"Did they die?" Lu Yuan inquired.

The Crystal Man shook his head, "Unknown. It's hard to extinct such a super-level civilization. We suspect... they went back."

"Went back?"

"They called our world the absurd world of 'outside...'"

"They didn't solve the Epoch Disaster in that Epoch, even though they were unwilling, they had no choice but to return..."

This is actually a sugar-coated explanation; even the strongest interstellar civilization will eventually perish.
