Epic Prelude

Feeling the burning passion and respect radiating from Hu'erlun's eyes, Kubana said kindly, "Since that is the case, proceed as planned. Furthermore, to strengthen our claim to legitimacy, besides the chosen ones, you can also widely publicize that even I, with my knowledge of Fire Seeds and plants, have submitted to the glory of the Pantheon deities.

Directly accuse the Blazing Flame Alliance's use of Fire Seeds as heretical and unapproved by me.

In short, strive to establish your legitimate name. Over time, everyone will naturally accept it from the bottom of their hearts."

Hu'erlun nodded and said, "Good! Then I will entrust this matter to the Sage to handle entirely!"

However, Kubana shook his head and said, "No, I will only be responsible for strategizing. Such an important matter requires you to implement it yourself. After all, I am merely your advisor, and I have no intention of vying for power with you."

Hu'erlun sighed with immense admiration, "With the Sage, there is the Continent. Hu'erlun will definitely heed your opinions on major matters!"

With that, he turned to walk outside, saying, "The Sage's plans have made me eager to see the establishment of the Eagle Empire. Rest assured, even for your sake, I will not fail. Your deeds as a pioneer will be sung by all!"

Kubana smiled behind him, "I look forward to the day you dominate the world."

Hu'erlun: "You will see it, definitely!"

As Hu'erlun's figure turned the corner and disappeared, Kubana retracted his gaze after a long moment.

He looked up at the blue sky and white clouds in the sky and fell into a daze again.

After a long while, he murmured to himself, "Aethelred, you won't blame me, will you? These are just seeds planted for the final harvest... After all, I am still just a mortal."

Thus, humanity's first organization named a nation, the Eagle Empire, was established!

Under the behind-the-scenes guidance of State Preceptor Kubana, Emperor Hu'erlun, employing both benevolence and might, dealt with the loose tribal alliances.

Initially, under his military intimidation, no one dared to voice their dissent.

Later, as the empire stationed their designated "honorary leaders" in various tribes, this resentment reached an extremely deep level.

However, gradually, people discovered that these honorary leaders did not actually contend for power with the original tribal leaders.

Furthermore, as tribesmen of the Sage Kubana, they brought new things to the various tribes, which were refreshing.

For example, using mud to create a simple stove, and then forging something called "Iron Ore" through a certain method.

They were actually able to refine something called "Ironware"!

Although it was very crude and mixed with various impurities, people found it to be a divine skill!

Ironware could be forged into pots and pans, and also made into various weapons. It possessed sharper characteristics than simple wooden or stone weapons. Some elite ironware could even pierce the scales of ferocious beasts!

In addition, the honorary leaders also brought new plant knowledge and the technique of "Poison Quenching," which allowed them to easily hunt agile and fierce wild beasts.

As long as the poisoned arrows pierced the skin of those wild beasts, no matter how agile they were, they would eventually be captured!

Gradually, the honorary leaders were no longer rejected by their tribesmen. Instead, they were regarded as pioneers, representing the Sage in educating humanity.

They did not contend for power, but subtly, they were respected and worshipped by the people!

The Sage's prestige also reached an unprecedented peak.

Even in the Sun Empire, established across the border in imitation of the Eagle Empire, many of its subjects genuinely respected Kubana.

If, one day, the Sun Empire were to conquer the Eagle Empire, the only ones among the leaders of the Eagle Empire, who were demoted as heretics, who would likely survive would be Kubana.

He was, by far, humanity's greatest enlightened pioneer and deserved such an honor.

Afterward, the Eagle Empire and the Sun Empire embarked on a rivalry that was bound to last for decades.

Tang Chuan, like a celestial being, looked down upon everything happening on the continent from above.

Hu'erlun, whose individual strength surpassed the scope of this planet's biological beings.

Loserius, who could commune with the desolate wilderness and command dozens of extraordinary desolate beasts.

The Eagle Empire, a centralized power where imperial authority was divinely and royally ordained.

The Sun Empire, which yearned for nature, advocated for harmonious coexistence with nature, revered the great power of nature, and respected extraordinary desolate beasts.

And...

Kubana, the Sage, who survived in the cracks under the pressure of the two empires, operating discreetly and seeking opportunities, possessing a reputation comparable to that of the chosen ones.

Tang Chuan couldn't help but sigh.

Although it was merely an ancient tribal era, with the intervention of three deities and the promotion of enlightenment knowledge, he could discern the prelude to an epic of dynastic struggles.

Was this "civilization evolution"?

Perhaps this term, inherently, carried an ineffable weight.

This made Tang Chuan even more expectant of the future landscape of the Canghuang Continent.

Slightly increasing the temporal flow by two to three hundred times, Tang Chuan withdrew his gaze and exited the God's Eye view.

Inside the room.

Tang Chuan's eyes sparkled with divine light. He stood up, drew back the curtains, and bathed in the brilliant white sunlight, looking down at the civilization of Heka Star, saying, "A new day, let me experience this already established civilization again."

Casually tidying himself up, he walked to the balcony, stood within the takeoff and landing cabin, and in a few breaths, via the takeoff and landing channel, arrived on the ground.

Stepping out of the hotel, Tang Chuan froze for a moment.

He looked at the strangely styled building opposite and was a bit bewildered. He couldn't help but ask Quintessa through their mental link:

"When I came yesterday, I remember this building was white. How come it's silver after just one night? The beast carvings and patterns on it are completely different too. Could it be I remembered wrong? Or maybe this isn't the front door, but the back?"

Quintessa smiled and replied, "Master, look up."

Tang Chuan tilted his head and looked towards the upper part of the building, finally realizing.

He hadn't gone the wrong way; this was indeed the front door, and the building was still the same building.

Dozens of meters up, on the four sides of the building, four instruments the size of locomotives were suspended in the air. Occasionally, shuttles would inject some kind of substance into these suspended instruments.

Above the four suspended instruments, the building still had its white appearance from yesterday, and the patterns hadn't changed.

It was only on the underside that the suspended instruments were projecting wisps of matter, redecorating the entire building from bottom to top, both in color and style.

Quintessa explained, "This is a 'Material Projection Device.' It can project desired solid forms according to specifications determined by the Light Brain. It's somewhat like Azure Star's 3D printing technology, but its function and efficiency are much more precise.

In about half a day, it can complete an external redecoration of this ninety-eight-meter-tall building.

In fact, this building itself was constructed by Material Projection Devices. Yes, the hotel where Master is staying was also built this way."

Tang Chuan withdrew his gaze, marveling, "This is quite interesting. If that's the case, even native Heckarians who haven't returned for over a year probably wouldn't know where their hometown is.

Mr. Lu Shuren's words were true; civilization's development is indeed changing with each passing day.

I can now understand why a Level Four civilization can control Paradox Weapons. If Level Nine civilizations are like this, it would be unreasonable if higher-level civilizations didn't have some extraordinary capabilities.

Quintessa, find me a lively place. Let's go have fun for a day, and tonight, point me to a tavern so I can experience the nightlife of the Heckarians."

"Alright, go left."
