Why Not Say the King of Gods Mates with Everything?

Please allow me to investigate.

The subordinate withdrew and returned half an hour later.

The facts are beyond Mu Ri expectations.

"He's a member of the God Incarnation Faction."

Mu Ri raised an eyebrow.

"I sneaked in at midnight just to drink your blood."

"Drinking blood?"

"Yes. They believe that drinking the blood of the Gods will grant them eternal life and immense power. He... came to steal the blood."

Mu Ri remained silent for a moment.

He looked down at the corpse on the ground, then at his own hands. His hands were still stained with the man's blood, which had dried and formed dark red scabs that clung to his skin.

To gain the power of the Gods, they directly attempt to assassinate the incarnation of the Gods?

Why don't you say the God-King will transform into Giant Serpent, a stallion, a male wolf, a beggar, a crow, thin air, and mate with all sorts of bizarre creatures?

This is a story I've heard Mu Ri, supposedly Mythic or Legendary from another civilization.

Mu Ri was silent for a moment, then finally said, "Throw this idiot out of the city. Don't Contamination the intelligence of our Tracing Light."

"Yes!"

The subordinates immediately began dragging the body away.

"Also," Mu Ri said, "Notify all senior officials to get up immediately and go to the city center for a meeting. This is a evacuation meeting."

Three days later, the Suguang Civilization began its withdrawal from Changhe City.

This is the most difficult decision we've made Mu Ri.

It's impossible to evacuate all 780,000 people.

The elderly, the sick, and those unable to travel long distances had to stay behind. They were housed in the city's most secure basement, with enough food and water to last for three months.

But they're doomed.

Everyone knows.

Even Mu Ri, I know.

Young people and children, carrying tools, seeds, and various implements, left with the army to go to the real seaside.

It's not the kind of "sea" that flows into the Long River, but rather the shore of Endless Ocean. There is an undeveloped area there with fertile land, abundant water, and far from any crevice in the earth. The Mu Ri is to establish a new base there.

People keep dying.

People were chased and killed by monsters, bitten to death by monsters, and torn apart by monsters; people were killed for crimes, robbery, theft, and fighting, and the army had to maintain Order, so some were executed; people died from diseases, lacking medical care and medicine, their wounds became infected, and they died on the roadside with high fever.

Mu Ri simply gripped the book in his hand, kept striking, and continued forward.

Until the true advent of the Mana Converter.

It was a massive device driven by Steam. It consisted of countless pipes, gears, and valves, with a huge core in the center, the interior of which was engraved with intricate Spell runes.

Its principle is simple: use the heat energy of Steam to drive the core, assimilate it into elements, and then reverse it into Mana.

People no longer need to travel to the lands of monster death to absorb Mana. They can now absorb Mana day and night at the Mana Converter and learn the Spells rewarded or exchanged from the interface.

The age of Spell has arrived.

Accompanied by wondrous Steam technology and death.

Six months later, the first batch of "Steam Armored Soldiers" emerged from the temporary factory.

Those were warriors clad in iron armor, enhanced by Mana.

Their armor was ridiculously thick, at least three fingers thick, and weighed over several hundred kilograms. The claws and teeth of ordinary magical beasts could not penetrate that thick armor at all.

They wielded Steam- powered chainsaw swords with blades forged from fine steel and a row of sharp serrations along the edge.

The hilt of the sword is connected to a miniature Steam, which, when started, causes the blade to spin at high speed, emitting a piercing roar.

With their bodies enhanced by Mana, these armored warriors trained daily beside the Mana Converter, their physical abilities far surpassing those of ordinary people. They could easily slice through the scales of magical beasts and unleash Spells.

The first batch of Steam Armored Soldiers numbered only fifty.

But these fifty people, in a single encounter, decisively defeated the attack of more than two hundred magical beasts.

Pure White Space.

"Hiss--What is this thing?"

Han Song stared at the location of the Suguang Civilization [Planet Model] and couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

In the scene he had just seen when he lowered his consciousness, a group of warriors clad in heavy armor were advancing in formation.

Their steps were perfectly synchronized, each step causing the ground to tremble. The chainsaws in their hands hummed, their blades dripping with black blood.

"Why are there Steam heavy armors?" His voice trembled. "What... what are these things?"

In his memory, Steam Warships and Steam defense equipment were already beyond the standard, while Steam heavy armor and the derived Steam technology were a bit too outrageous.

"It's just a different development path in different worlds. The Steam path still has potential for development." Su Luo glanced at it.

"According to the achievement tree on the temporary panel, the development trajectory of our hometown skipped directly from the mid- Steam Age to the Electronic Age, without completing the Steam Age."

Su Luo had already memorized all the achievements that the achievement tree could display.

The Suguang Civilization has brought the Steam Age to its later stages, unlocking one achievement after another: Steam- powered heavy armor, Steam airships, Steam trains, Steam machine tools... Each achievement grants Civilization Points, which is quite good.

"Okay... so should I go for the late-game Steam too?"

Han Song looked at it for a while, then asked again.

"There's no need," Su Luo shook her head. "If you want your civilization to develop rapidly, just skip eras. You know how powerful the Electronic Age is. But Mu Ri doesn't know that; he just wants to accumulate more Civilization Points step by step."

The Suguang Civilization possesses the Scholar trait and benefits from the [Golden Age] event, giving it a development speed far exceeding that of other civilizations. Even if it suppresses its level to the point of being invincible among its peers, it won't significantly affect its overall development speed.

Either way, the population will be the bottleneck.

"By the way, how's your civilization?" Su Luo asked Han Song about the Pingyun Civilization.

Han Song's Pingyun Civilization is located in the central part of the Cangyuan Continent. Unlike Tracing Light, it cannot retreat to the coast and cannot go very far.

"The monster attack pattern in this special event should be calculated based on the strength of each civilization," Han Song answered honestly. "The monsters here are less than one-fifth of those on your side. Nora used my skills to deal with some monsters occasionally, and also passed on Skill Books. It's been fairly stable."

"That's alright," Su Luo said. "You can use the Mana Converter from the Suguang Civilization to buy the finished product at some cost."
