Chapter 957: Chapter 607: Tower Top Civilization and Thick Earth Civilization (Part 3)

Especially for such a material civilization, coming to the “absurd world outside the bureau” is really somewhat disorienting.

Without a soul, without a Divine Attribute, it is impossible to develop an Ideal.

Before forcibly opening a material road, weapons like the Hydrogen Bomb are inoperative.

They don’t know how much effort they expended, modifying the Moon, before they could turn the tide and let Pangu Continent continue on—because the Fourth Epoch was really quite disappointing. The peak civilization, the “Hebrew Civilization,” squandered nearly everything, making the pressure in the Fifth Epoch unimaginably immense, facing the most difficult situation from the beginning.

Lu Yuan had a sudden thought: “Was it the World Will’s doing?”

The Crystal Man nodded: “Very likely… the World Will is quite cunning in certain domains.”

“It knew the Fifth Epoch was extremely difficult, so it brought in the Tower Top Civilization. Of course, it might also be that the Tower Top Civilization came in on their own…”

“Do you know what their last words were?”

“What?”

“Interesting. Just those two words, interesting.”

Lu Yuan took a deep breath and profoundly realized the disparity between civilizations.

“Without this spontaneously emerging Tower Top Civilization, Pangu Continent in the Fifth Epoch would surely perish.”

And in the Sixth Epoch, accepting the legacy of the Fifth Epoch, its peak civilization is known as the “Thick Earth Civilization.”

This term is also seldom mentioned.

“Alas, some matters were too intense, leading to their erasure from history.” The Crystal Man shook its head, unwilling to talk more about the taboo information.

Lu Yuan could actually speculate a lot as well, what the Thick Earth Civilization did was likely related to the Moon, and also abilities involving the Powerful Wind…

After that, there wasn’t much left to explore, since Ideal Rules were in disarray, staying in one place was rather easy to cause a short life. Lu Yuan piloted the Earth Escape Shuttle, returning through the interstellar gate to the Different Space of [Monster].

After the Strangers disembarked safely, they were in a very cheerful mood.

They watched the departing backs of Lu Yuan and Old Cat, conversing through telepathy.

“Could it be that this time, it’s really different?”

“Even the world has been backed up, what kind of concept is that!”

“Thinking positively, Lu Yuan has struck it rich. Thinking negatively, it truly means annihilation!”

The expressions on everyone’s faces were not very pleasant.

“Don’t jinx it!”

But everyone had limited abilities, and could only take one step at a time.

They began to contact Ancient Insect, who was even more of an underachiever, to seek some psychological comfort.

“The Underground Alliance hasn’t officially set out yet? It’s been two hundred years.”

Two hundred years had passed, and over at Ancient Worm Grandpa’s, quite a few civilizations had been supported, even reproducing the “Field Industrialization” concept.

However, whenever discussing the Underground Alliance, there was a sense of frustration at their underachievement.

“They are finally leaving the underground rift!” Ancient Worm’s tone was one of sheer joy.

The development speed of these civilizations was indeed nothing remarkable compared to humans.

Actually, most civilizations were like this, once an Epoch Disaster struck, they turned to ashes…

Of course, as a Myth, the combat power of Ancient Worm was still considerable, everyone humored it, letting it entertain itself, as long as it disseminated the “Field Industrialization” method.

…

…

On the other side, after Lu Yuan and Old Cat returned to Green Grass City, they quickly got to business.

Old Cat was busy with various human resource management tasks, Green Grass City was set to officially embark towards the coastline.

Its life was very fulfilling.

Meanwhile, Lu Yuan patiently organized the gains from this venture.

“Firstly, a leap on the combat power level… If challenged by the Snake-man [Ghost] again… the final result might still be defeat, but it wouldn’t be so embarrassing.”

He planned several combat strategies in his mind, the “Undying” trait was too overpowering, unless he trapped the Snake-man [Ghost] in the Qiankun Small World, but doing so would be too detrimental to him.

“Forget it, as long as I can protect myself. After all, [Ghost] would also find it hard to kill me.”

The second gain, surprisingly, was on the craftsman level.

This time, the opening of a world scene allowed him to see a higher level of artisan forging—great craft without benefit!

The work of nature, appearing simple, hid profound wisdom and power.

“Reconstructing Earth, Fire, Water, and Wind, this realm is too wondrous, how could it be utilized in Forging Science?”

“When I was forging the Greedy Demon God, I unintentionally reached this realm. Cluelessly, just created the Greedy Demon God.”

“And then forging the Core of Ability, adding my own understanding, instead made it a grade lower.”

Precisely replicating nature was nearly impossible, yet it opened Lu Yuan’s eyes. He referred to this unique forging method as “Nature Forging Method.”

He always felt a little different than before, though he couldn’t quite specify how, so he could only diligently experiment with some materials.

Even his forging style showed changes.

In the past, he excelled at leveraging the Luck of Green Grass City, starting from life’s details, creating items that were usually more life-oriented.

But now, he boldly wanted to leverage the Luck of the entire Pangu Continent!

This was indeed a new attempt, but after trying for a long time, Lu Yuan still couldn’t find a breakthrough point.

“Without a suitable entry point, the ‘Nature Forging Method’ remains too difficult.”

Suddenly, the communicator sounded and the excited voice of Colonel Lu Ying came through: “We’ve discovered a civilization!”

“It’s also a Sky City, 12,000 kilometers away! Disguised itself as a cloud!”

…

In the Ninth Epoch, year 503, the eighth month, Human 18th Civilization encountered another Exotic Realm Civilization.

What approached was risk and challenge!

…

(The new story, sort of organizing the subsequent plot. It involves the main storyline, and it’s quite crucial.)
