Kneel, Kneel at the Muzzle of My Gun!
"Brother, are we really going to leave? Maybe we can stall in this Deep Sea World for a while. If the disaster lasts for seven days, it will be safe to go back!"
The Deep Sea World.
Sixty-five days ago, at 9:30 in the morning.
After finishing her last, rather "luxurious" breakfast, Su Chan watched as Su Mo stood up. After thinking for a moment, she finally couldn't hold back the words that were stuck in her throat.
Yesterday, after Su Mo issued nearly a hundred commands in a row, the clever Su Chan had already guessed what Su Mo was going to do! Su Mo wanted to go back, to return to the wasteland where the natural disaster was erupting.
Even Su Chan knew that all of this was for her sake!
Compared to the terrifying wasteland, the Deep Sea World is no longer a challenge; it's clearly a paradise for enjoyment and relaxation.
Here, you can soak in the hot springs of the mansion and feel completely refreshed.
Here, hundreds of loyal shrimp soldiers and crab generals serve you every day.
Here, you can eat so much food that you almost feel nauseous.
Here, Su Mo is the king of the Deep Sea World; with a single word, hundreds of millions of deep-sea creatures must bow down.
Even though Su Mo is still the omnipotent "Su God" in everyone's hearts after returning to the wasteland, Su Chan knows that it is different from the Deep Sea World.
There's no room for error in the wasteland! One failure means death, and if you can't survive a tsunami, you'll be lying in the Deep Sea World forever.
Last night, the brother and sister slept in the same room.
From his arrival in the wasteland to the first pot of gold brought by the chameleon, from accidentally opening Ma Gu's refuge to the subsequent love-hate relationship with the kobolds and lionmen.
From the first murder to the slaughter of gods, from the first planting of food to a granary full of grain.
Aside from attributing the system's assistance to the game and luck, Su Mo meticulously analyzed every detail, day by day.
Like an old mother, or a child waiting for praise from his family, Su Mo spoke at length, even describing the dark night as the approaching dawn.
But the legend of "Su God" only goes as far as the villagers of Hope Village moved to Iron Stone Mountain.
Su Chan listened to stories all night long, and listened to Su Mo's personal biography all night long.
When she hears something scary, she gasps twice, and then she clutches the blanket tightly in fright.
When she hears of a harvest, she transforms into a happy little bee, emitting a contented "buzzing" sound.
But from the night until day, the only thing Su Chan was certain of was that her brother was under immense pressure! "Hahaha, don't be delusional. Seven days is almost a year in the Deep Sea World. How could this fictional world withstand such a long period of simulation?"
"And don't overthink it. I'm not going back right away. It'll be a while before I leave, after I've wiped out all the enemies in this Deep Sea World."
"At that time, you can stay here without worry, until you can't stay any longer. Maybe when you leave the Deep Sea World, my ship will be there to pick you up!"
Su Mo affectionately patted Su Chan's round head, and spoke with utmost confidence.
And these were not just Su Mo was trying to comfort himself with.
Faced with overwhelming data, the Tsunami was never a match for the Hope; rather, it became an asset.
After calculating that it would likely take four or five days to reach the vicinity of the Tundra, Su Mo resolutely decided to turn back.
Before that, clearing away the remaining dregs of this world and taking the ultimate prize from the Deep Sea World will be the last flap of Su Mo's butterfly in this world.
After comforting Su Chan for a while and agreeing to several conditions, Su Mo turned and left.
Family ties are a strange thing.
When you don't have it, it becomes your driving force, compelling you to be brave and resolute all the way.
Sometimes, it generates another strange power, filling you with energy.
But this is on the premise that you can avoid getting addicted to it.
Su Mo broke free because he knew that their meeting now was nothing more than a reflection of the moon in the water.
The wasteland is the true home ground!
The following day, Su Mo entered a state of constant activity.
Just as things can be brought into the wasteland, Su Mo, after inquiring with the Lord Token in this world, also received permission to bring things into his Storage Space and eventually take them out.
Of course, the items taken out cannot be of a higher rarity level.
However, from the beginning, Su Mo had no intention of taking out those things that the Lord Token considered important.
After descending the mountain, Su Mo's first stop is the Academy of Agricultural Sciences located in a towering building on White Sand Island.
This place brings together over 60% of the agricultural masters in the entire Deep Sea World, and their task is simple: to collect and cultivate various high-quality seeds.
After some deliberation, Su Mo took away hundreds of improved and enhanced plant seeds, including wheat, rice, potatoes, pumpkins, cabbage, water spinach, carrots, cotton, and peanuts.
Then Su Mo went to the side courtyard and took away dozens of fruit seeds, including watermelon, cantaloupe, peach, mango, grape, apple, etc.
Su Mo didn't give up on crops that could only grow in specific environments, ordering some of them to take away.
These seeds, all together, only occupy about a third of the already empty Storage Space.
After finishing loading these items, Su Mo continued on his way and arrived at a large complex of buildings.
This is the key to Su Mo's rapid initiation of the Industrial Revolution, and it is also the place he values most in the entire Deep Sea World.
Looking at the three large characters for Academy of Sciences" written by himself above, Su Mo straightened his chest and walked in.
After a while, looking at the various documents and materials, as well as the development and maintenance manuals, that almost filled the remaining space in the Storage Space, Su Mo ended his acquisition journey with satisfaction.
These documents record approximately 7% of the complete basic Technology Tree's "lighting-up methods"! Don't underestimate just 7%!
Keep in mind that this is in comparison to science that has been developing on Earth for hundreds, even thousands of years.
Furthermore, although these researched technologies already existed on Earth, they were the most sought-after data for the wasteland, which was in dire need of reconstruction.
After studying these materials, the 2.0 version of Hope Village on the New Continent will no longer be a problem.
By then, every villager will have access to electricity, running water, and clean and tidy village housing, enjoying amenities comparable to those in modern towns!
The weapon chain, which lacked the most crucial Technology Tree, will also have a large gap filled, and with a little research, it will be able to drive the rapid development of the weapon Technology Tree.
All of this was Su Mo's true plan over the past sixty-odd days.
Although the true adversary of this world war has not yet been identified, Su Mo felt content after organizing everything and filing it all away.
Day 66.
Amidst the anticipation of billions of creatures in the Deep Sea World, the invincible king of the Deep Sea World, the spokesperson for the Ocean God, and the Ironblood leader, announced his attack plan.
When this war madman boasted that he would take down the last enemy within 20 days, no one dared to express an opinion or question him.
Even his enemies, the Church, which had controlled the Deep Sea World for thousands of years, began emergency preparations for war.
Without the Ocean God, the High Priest of the church can only use the minor Ocean God Authority once a week and the medium authority once a month.
Only once a year can one have unlimited access.
Now, he has no authority left, but Su Mo still has four middle schools and two small schools in stock! Day 67.
The fleet belonging to Su Mo officially set off from White Sand Island, carrying all its weapons of war, leaving this place of origin of all things, which was destined to be written into the history books of the Deep Sea World.
The seventy-first day.
With Su Mo lavishly using Ocean God's minor authority to accelerate the voyage, 20 top-tier naval ships, carrying nearly 100,000 elite combatants, arrived at the front-line battlefield.
Day 74.
With one small-level and one medium-level authority activated, Su Mo's naval forces were all in place.
The total force is 1.6 million troops, and the ships consist of 105 top-tier ships, 220 second-tier ships, and nearly a thousand basic ships with different functions.
If this were in the medieval era on Earth, the preparation stage alone for a war with such an exaggerated military force and a terrifying number of ships would take years.
But given the factor of having authority—which is even more egregious than cheating—even the High Priest of the opposing church felt:
Absolutely right!
The seventy-seventh day.
On the tenth day after Su Mo's boast that he would defeat the rebels within twenty days, the first battle finally began.
However, this battle was not Su Mo's all-out attack, but rather a sneak attack by the Church of the Ocean God.
On the vast, sprawling sea battlefield, the Church of the Ocean God mobilized nearly 80,000 people and more than 30 ships, who arrived stealthily.
In the dead of night, the two teams clashed fiercely, fighting for nearly ten hours before a victor emerged.
The entire raiding force was wiped out, and Su Mo's side also suffered heavy losses.
But it wasn't a big problem. With the use of medium-level authority twice, a full 95% of the Expeditionary Force that had sacrificed themselves in this battle were revived, and all the ships were instantly restored to their original state.
This miraculous performance was met with cheers from millions of Expeditionary Force.
The enemy's mentality has collapsed! Damn it, if we're dead, we're really dead!
The other side can even revive, what a joke! Day 79.
After a day of rest, the battle resumed.
This time it was Expeditionary Force, a war in which Su Mo took the initiative to command the attack.
No one could have imagined that the Ocean God Guard, the most powerful fighting force in the Deep Sea World, who had suppressed the Deep Sea World for thousands of years and killed countless vicious rebels, were the ones who had done so.
With the Expeditionary Force's fully automated firearms, the Zadu Strait, which seemed like an insurmountable barrier, was captured in just half a day.
The supply Distribution Point at the rear, Zfigas Fishing Port, also couldn't escape the brutal attack of the bombers.
During a fireworks display that could be seen from hundreds of kilometers away, the logistics of the Church of Ocean God completely collapsed.
The battle had only been going on for three days when Su Mo already smelled the scent of victory.
Day 80.
The Zadu Strait was completely occupied, and all the Ocean God's Guard and church members retreated to the Daya Archipelago for a desperate last stand.
However, what they did not expect was that some people in the church, under Su Mo's instigation, rose up in rebellion.
Day 82.
Fifteen days after the call to arms was uttered, the Ocean God's Guard was completely wiped out; everyone died swiftly and decisively.
During their dinner, they drank the poison prepared by their own people and easily embarked on their path to death.
Day 84.
The Expeditionary Force has completely surrounded the Daya Archipelago, and all the remnants of the Church of the Ocean God are now trapped.
Thanks to the Sound Transmission Conch, all the marine life watching the war were astonished to discover that the battle had only lasted 17 days and was already coming to a perfect end.
The Expeditionary Force lost fewer than 100,000 men and successfully unified the entire Deep Sea World.
This news spread like wildfire, and countless people wept with joy.
The mental constraints imposed by the Ocean God will eventually pass, and the days of exorbitant taxes levied on the Ocean God's church for thousands of years will be gone forever!
Under this leader, they will enter a new era!
Day 87.
On the last day of the legendary warlord's promise to end the war in twenty days, an invisible curtain of light appeared above all the major cities of the Deep Sea World.
This is a wondrous sight that occurred after Su Mo used his last intermediate-level authority.
The function of this light screen is quite simple: to transmit images.
Upon seeing the image, all the creatures of the Deep Sea World were shocked! In this image Aaron, the High Priest would appear once a year and perform miracles once a year.
At this moment, he was like a dead dog, his body being held up tightly by four abnormally strong fishmen.
In the foreground of the image, the waves crash against the shore, leaving behind sprays of water, while in the distance, as the image is zoomed out, lies an endless Great Plains.
This is land, the place where the Deep Sea World and the land world meet.
The High Priest tried to escape, but unfortunately...
He got arrested!
"Commander, Commander, I can give you everything, just spare my life, and I'll give you everything!"
High Priest Aaron, dressed in a magnificent golden robe and wearing a crown with nine gold rims and inlaid with precious underwater gems, cried out tremblingly.
Seeing that Su Mo was unmoved, he quickly signaled the fishman to release him, took two steps forward, removed the crown from his head, took off his golden robe, and placed it on the ground.
He even took out the scepter, a symbol of the Ocean God's sacrifice, from his pocket and, with a complex expression of fear mixed with piety, placed it next to the crown.
Only those who possess the Scepter of Ocean God can obtain the authority to distribute it on a fixed basis.
The fact that he could produce this scepter signifies that he has completely surrendered.
"Kneel down before my gun!"
As he lowered his head, High Priest Aaron was still pondering what other bargaining chips he could offer to persuade this legendary Ironblood leader to let him off the hook when he heard these words.
Kneel down!
"Kneel down before my gun!"
Boom! A gunshot like thunder exploded in his ears as he watched the Ocean God's Scepter on the ground being shattered in two by a bullet, losing its divine power.
Filled with disbelief, High Priest Aaron was so shocked that he quickly raised his head.
But the next second, when he saw the pair of eyes filled with endless killing intent hidden beneath the sturdy black armor, High Priest Allen's knees buckled, and he couldn't help but kneel on the ground.
Day 89.
News of High Priest Aaron's death spread throughout the entire Deep Sea World.
Interestingly, he did not die at the hands of the now -Deep Sea Lord, but at the hands of a farmer on land.
Aaron had been on the run for two whole days after being released by Su Mo, was starving.
Covered in dust and dirt, he ran into a farmer's house in a panic, hoping to steal some food, but was caught red-handed by the farmer who happened to be returning home. The farmer mistook him for a badger stealing melons and stabbed him right through the heart.
The 90th day.
The simple coronation ceremony was held on the ship.
Subsequently, driven by the Sound Transmission Conch, a total of 248 basic laws and regulations and 108 production incentive policies were introduced.
In an instant, the news spread throughout the entire Deep Sea World.
Amidst these complex laws and policies, people saw science, mechanical power, and what their Future World would look like for the first time.
On this day, the era of divine right finally came to an end.
The Industrial Revolution has begun!
