Civilization Spark

Chapter 047

Dense primeval forests were filled with poisonous miasma, making it impossible for even wild beasts to survive.

However, the harsh environment did not deter the wizards. Magic created an underground military fortress deep within the primeval jungle where no man or beast could live. Tens of thousands of resistance fighters from various countries were busy secretly manufacturing nuclear weapons in the underground military fortress. Though difficult, success was imminent.

"This is far more than what the intelligence indicated."

Li Mu frowned as he walked inside the military fortress.

Based on his observations, there were at least hundreds of wizards, thousands of scientists, and tens of thousands of resistance fighters.

And they were all elites, not the ragtag resistance force mentioned in the intelligence.

No wonder Gaia had judged that he had not yet conquered the human civilization of this world.

As expected, a considerable portion of the wizards and ordinary people from various countries who had outwardly submitted to him were actually outwardly submitting while secretly supporting the secret manufacturing of nuclear weapons here. Indeed, the human heart was the hardest thing to conquer.

Without decades, even with the Imperius Curse, it would be difficult to completely eliminate all resistance forces.

On the surface, only this last resistance force remained, but in reality, more resistance forces had only feigned submission.

To achieve the unification of all countries, to merge the Wizarding World with the world of ordinary people, and to foster the birth of a magical technological civilization – these were not things that could be accomplished in a few months or years. That was why he needed the Phoenix Apostle to maintain his rule after he left this world.

Otherwise, if he returned years later, the civilization he had once conquered would have long since changed beyond recognition.

This was why it was said that conquering a civilization was as difficult as it was easy to destroy one.

But correspondingly, the benefits were as great as the difficulty of conquering a civilization.

Li Mu took out an apple and casually threw it into an unused toilet.

The Polymorph Spell on the apple was dispelled. In just a moment, a mushroom cloud destroyed the last overt resistance force.

Li Mu watched the mushroom cloud from afar. His spirit sank into the Phoenix, and he immediately sensed the HuoZhong Source Power being continuously transmitted by Gaia through the shipboard Spark. In just a moment, his previously depleted HuoZhong Source Power surged to 19,600 cards.

Not only that, but the Sacrifice Seed in the Sacrifice Chamber had also generated a projection of a Sacrifice Seed.

However, the biggest change was the Civilization Spark that appeared out of thin air within the Phoenix.

[Civilization Spark: Low-level magical civilization]

[Quality: Blue]

[Attributes: Integrating into a planet will cause extremely thin Spark Energy to appear on the entire planet. Planetary life has a very low probability of merging with Spark Energy. Spark Creations have a very low probability of being born on the planet. Depending on the development level of the human civilization on the planet, varying amounts of HuoZhong Source Power can be generated.]

[Warning: If the civilization loses control, the Civilization Spark will also extinguish.]

"Civilization Spark?"

Li Mu pondered.

This was the first time he'd heard of such a thing. It was no wonder, considering he hadn't received formal Spark Captain education.

However, judging by the Civilization Spark's attributes, it could transform this world's Blue Star into a weakened version of a Spark World. It felt as if Gaia had planted a flag in another world to declare ownership.

Leaving the Phoenix, Li Mu released the Civilization Spark in his hand.

The moment it was born, it had already bound itself to his Seedship's Shipboard Spark.

The Shipboard Spark was his Second Origin HuoZhong, so he could clearly sense the Civilization Spark falling to the ground and burrowing deep underground. It quickly reached the planet's core, continuously absorbing its power to form a small sun, constantly converting the core's power into Spark Energy.

Nine-tenths of this converted Spark Energy was distributed throughout the entire planet.

The remaining one-tenth was directly transmitted to the Shipboard Spark, becoming reserve energy for the Phoenix?

Every second, the Phoenix gained one Card of Spark Energy.

Moreover, as time passed, the Spark Energy transmitted to the Phoenix was even slightly increasing.

It made sense. This was one-tenth of the Spark Energy converted from an entire planet. Even if it was diluted, it was still an astonishing amount. Conservatively estimating, it could provide the Phoenix with 100,000 Cards of Spark Energy per day at this stage. Later, increasing by a million Cards of Spark Energy per day should not be a problem.

With so much Spark Energy, he wished the energy transmission wouldn't be interrupted after leaving this world.

However, he had a feeling that the energy transmission would likely be interrupted once he left this world.

His Shipboard Spark, by itself, wasn't capable of transmitting energy across worlds.

But as the Seedship continuously upgraded and the Shipboard Spark's level increased in the future, it might become possible to transmit Spark Energy across worlds. At that time, even without external Spark Energy blocks to power the Seedship, it would have an inexhaustible supply of Spark Energy.

With 100,000 Cards of Spark Energy daily, Li Mu was starting to feel reluctant to leave this world.

But he couldn't. He wasn't allowed to stay in this world permanently.

The cooldown period for a Seedship to travel to another world was one year, and the maximum duration it could stay in an alien world was also one year. Reducing the cooldown and extending the stay were not things a blank Seedship could achieve.

Therefore, he had to leave this world in a little over eight months at the latest.

Apparition, Li Mu returned to the Ministry of Magic in London.

With the initial global unification, the subsequent global integration would be the troublesome part. Language, writing systems, laws, and power structures all needed to be unified globally. It was far from easy to completely perfect these within eight months.

Thus, the next eight months would be the busiest period of his life.

Eight months later, in Phoenix Square, London, Britain.

A new year, and the season for young wizards from various countries to enter magic schools had arrived again.

Hermione Granger pushed her large suitcase as she got out of the car. From afar, she saw the statue of the Phoenix Emperor in Phoenix Square. At the base of the statue, adult wizards were constantly arranging for young wizards to touch the base.

All the young wizards who touched the statue instantly disappeared from their spots.

Hermione said goodbye to her parents and, filled with anticipation, walked to the base of the phoenix statue and reached out her hand.

Before she could even react, she had already appeared in another Phoenix Square, countless times larger than the one in London.

She was still at the base of the statue, but Hermione looked up and couldn't even see the statue's knees.

"So amazing..."

Hermione was so excited her mouth couldn't close.

Although she had seen the distant view of this statue, tens of kilometers tall, on television, she only truly understood how breathtaking it was when she stood at its feet. The Phoenix Academy, the world's only magical school, was located on the statue's left hand, according to the admission letter.

Hermione reluctantly withdrew her gaze. Her greatest idol was the Phoenix Emperor.

In less than a year, the Phoenix Emperor had unified the world, ending war and hunger.

He had even created the Phoenix Academy deep within the earth, gathering the most elite teaching staff from across the Wizarding World, allowing all young wizards worldwide to enroll here uniformly and receive the most comprehensive magical education for free.

According to the letter, the Phoenix Emperor was the permanent Headmaster of Phoenix Academy.

She was determined to become the most outstanding new student, hoping that way she might get to meet her most admired Phoenix Emperor.
