[Mother Goddess]
In addition, considering the system's role assignments, and referencing Song Shige and Su Luo's pretentious behavior, the Survivors will likely be assigned some strange and unusual tasks.
Survivors are in luck; in this era, they don't need to do anything—the natives provide free Elbow Strike massages.
If the Essence of the first two eras is reduced too much, then you really can't beat the sheriff who comes to your door.
It has that feel of Class Change Dungeon.
Both Su Luo and Song Shige, being from the countryside, remained silent.
The Laboratory activated instantly, ready to flee.
"Don't panic, I've cracked it, don't panic."
Zuo Guxian poked his head out, looking at the battlefield below, while searching for information in the virtual network as he spoke.
"The sheriff you just fought is one of the world's top fighters, don't panic."
After sifting through the massive amount of data, he seemed to breathe a sigh of relief and slowly announced the key information:
"Scholar, I'll use the name you gave me directly... It is now the 678kth year of [Eternal Paradise], the 954th year. Four empires stand in this paradise, and their united government serves every citizen..."
"Of these, the total population over this millennium was over 12.85 million, of which only over 70,000 were sheriffs, making them the sole force responsible for law enforcement and maintaining Order."
"What about the military?" Song Shige asked.
"That's the biggest problem! An ultimate utopia with unlimited productivity and absolutely abundant resources, no war, no armaments, no military establishment, and even serious violent crimes might not occur for several years." Zuo Guxian's expression was solemn.
"Could you please send me the documents in a package?" Su Luo didn't want to listen to Zuo Guxian's slow, deliberate speech.
"I'll finish right away... In this era, over 80% of the criminals in prisons are pretentious and argumentative; violent incidents are extremely rare."
"Furthermore, the military force in this world only has two levels: citizens and sheriffs. The internal combat power structure is not large!"
Zuo Guxian breathed a sigh of relief after saying this and sending the detailed information in a package.
He had even started to reflect on his actions.
It's unfair that our civilization is far more powerful than [Eternal Paradise]'s, yet our citizens are treated almost worse.
As a result, this civilization had no need for scientific research, military affairs, or even political governance, and was naturally rich in resources. More than 90% of the civilization's productivity was consumed in this area.
In the homeland of Scholars, this is known as the "Fallen Empire."
Zuo Guxian's own civilization consumed only about 0.1% of its productivity on civilian life, with the vast majority of its productivity used for military and scientific research. This is the normal practice for interstellar civilizations in their development stage.
If the proportion of resources consumed by people's livelihood and governance continues to increase, it indicates that development is unhealthy.
Su Luo frowned as she received the large amount of information and began to peruse it.
The vast majority of living beings are born with instincts for violence, competition, and plunder.
Without a strong external influence, it would be impossible for a single, flat, two-tiered system of violence to Evolution naturally, let alone coexist peacefully for a long time.
If this external force is the template used by the cultivation system of Qi Yuan Civilization, then that's good.
But this powerful external force exists within this era, so...
This means that the entire [Eternal Paradise], from the foundation of civilization to the Fate of all living beings, is entirely controlled by one person.
This external force possesses at least the power to rule over dozens of Fixed Star systems.
It's unclear whether this era will be a free-for-all for Survivors or Survivor 'll all be getting choked up.
After searching for a while, Su Luo's gaze finally landed on the [Mother Goddess] in the information.
[Lan Cijiu] He awoke from his deep sleep, his face showing helplessness.
Despite not participating in anything in the previous era, I still suffered collateral damage from the Self-Destruct of that idiot [Wu Guang].
Fortunately, I committed suicide in time and didn't get tainted by the Chaos. I didn't lose much Essence, so I can just survive and restore my Essence back to thirty.
He knew that [Wu Guang] Self-Destruct to kill [Sai Wangli], but there must have been other methods. He chose the worst one, which was to kill everyone.
Even if it means suffering a terrible price, are you really going to drag everyone down with you?
Ha Jiguang, you bastard.
"This era is truly fascinating."
[Lan Cijiu] I felt the long-lost power pumping through my body, as comfortable as holding in my poop for ten days and then suddenly having a rectal prolapse.
Learning to access the network using a physical terminal, I [Lan Cijiu] and saw an astonishing amount of information flowing through it.
In the network where thoughts are directly connected, the speed of light generates an enormous amount of information, overwhelming even refined individuals like [Lan Cijiu] who enjoy reading literary works.
"This is incredible."
With a slight thought, [Lan Cijiu] opened his private email, and a bright red overdue notification suddenly caught his eye.
[Temporary Citizen - Lan Cijiu: You are in arrears on your basic maintenance service fees for 2005.]
Today is the final deadline for payment; failure to do so will trigger mandatory disciplinary action.
[Lan Cijiu] glanced at the time and found that the local time had just started a new day.
[Due to your long-term credit defaults and refusal to comply, the local sheriff has been notified to lead a team armed with guns to carry out a forced execution at your home. For details, please search...]
[Lan Cijiu]: "..."
Twenty minutes later, [Lan Cijiu] looked at the sheriffs scattering and fleeing, feeling somewhat weary.
"I thought it was a scam, are you guys serious?"
Born in this era, he was a "temporary citizen," somewhere between a tourist attraction and a regular citizen; if one had to describe him, he would be a cup.
"Sigh, maybe it's because I was always slacking off in the last era that I ended up with this kind of status."
[Lan Cijiu] sighed, concealed himself, and began his long escape.
During his escape, an eye on his forehead opened, and a colorless wave Spread, launching a reconnaissance attack on the entire world.
"Hiss..."
[Lan Cijiu] took a deep breath at the sight he saw.
Above the magnificent star cluster composed of thirty-six Fixed Stars, a seemingly boundless, illusory figure Jingjing resides!
And she is Jingjing, gently, and lovingly looking down upon this civilization.
What the hell?
[Lan Cijiu], he couldn't help but take out the Wordless Book and point it at her.
Seeing the [Cleaners ] in the last era, [Lan Cijiu] didn't faze him at all.
After all, that was something from outside his time; [Lan Cijiu] had seen many things stronger than Him.
But she, the being from above that Fixed Star!
She was in the midst of her time!
The Fixed Stars are her cradle, the vast Milky Way is the outline of her body, and civilization, territory, infrastructure, and all living beings depend on her divine body for their existence.
She is the most revered figure in this world's network.
[Mother Goddess]!
