Isn't This Over?
"By undergoing the ascension ceremony, the power of the stars will be infused into you, and from this moment on, you will be eternally immortal, experiencing eternity!"
"All my believers, those who make great contributions, regardless of their status, can receive this power."
Although the ascension ceremony was merely a formality, it laid the foundation for this civilization.
At least people believed that only through the altar could they communicate with the gods and obtain the power bestowed by them.
Starry Sky Principal has achieved his goal, and he will now enable even more people to ascend.
The Star Dependent extremely powerful; as long as they have energy replenishment, their lifespan is almost eternal.
Apart from the Star Crystal on their chests, they have almost no weaknesses in their physical bodies. Their only drawback is that the Star Dependent cannot reproduce on their own.
This means that if Starry Sky Principal wants to expand the population, he cannot convert everyone into Star Dependent.
He must leave behind a portion of the human population to reproduce.
Currently, it is a crucial juncture, and the goal is to reproduce as many people as possible.
Only when those people are about to die, or are too old to continue, will Starry Sky Principal transform them into Star Dependent.
In this way, his population will never decrease naturally, but will only increase!
This is the advantage of being able to reproduce and have a family.
On the other side, to the east of the mainland.
In a dense forest, a group of people are working hard, building simple wooden houses.
This civilization is peculiar because they can see their gods.
Their god appeared before them in human form.
Their god is called the Dragon God.
Yes, there is only one sequence that can be called the Dragon God, and that is Ye Long.
He appeared before humanity as a white-haired man, unlike other sequences that could only exist in ghost form.
He was given the ability to switch forms.
If he transforms into a dragon, he will become a transparent ghost, just like the others, only able to communicate through sound.
If he transforms into human form, he can touch this world.
This shouldn't be a vulnerability.
According to Ye Long's understanding, everyone should retain an ability, but what this retained ability is, and whether it is random, is still uncertain.
Because his other abilities were all disabled, he was unable to use any special abilities after becoming human.
His only ability is to switch forms.
But what's the point?
The rules clearly state that one cannot directly intervene in wars between civilizations, so even if Ye Long now has a physical body, he should still not be able to directly intervene in the war.
After all, his abilities were only restricted, which did not mean that his level of existence had been lowered.
Ye Long also pondered for a long time.
Compared to sequences that can transform and split their followers, sequences that cannot split and transform their followers, like his, have already lost their advantage from the start.
Since Ye Long had no abilities he could use, he gritted his teeth and came up with an extremely desperate solution!
Since he cannot transform his followers to create super units!
Then they will reproduce through physical means!
Inside the cave, Ye Long was shirtless, revealing his muscular physique.
His white hair flowed freely, and his body was covered with many white scales.
There were several naked women around him.
Ye Long stood up and went to a woman's side, then grabbed her wrist, closed his eyes, and murmured to himself:
"No, still no..."
Ye Long gritted his teeth.
Seven days have passed, and still no one has conceived.
Why is this happening?
Is it because the dragon's genes are too powerful, making it difficult for the human body to reproduce?
Ye Long's fists clenched so tightly they made a cracking sound.
This can't go on. Although there seems to be plenty of time, if everyone is racing against time to prepare for war, then Ye Long won't have much time left.
Thinking about it, Ye Long turned his head and grabbed another woman's wrist.
This time, Ye Long's pupils suddenly widened, "I've got it!"
"It's finally here!"
Ye Long suppressed a surge of emotion and stepped out of the cave. He looked out at the forest and couldn't help but recall the scenes that had happened on Earth.
He was bound by the Sky Lock, unable to live or die.
Fortunately, Chen Ye returned this time, allowing him to see the light of day again!
Insects, Sea King, and... the rest.
This will be the last chance; if you don't seize it, there won't be a next time.
Because if we fail this time, we'll really be out.
Everyone understands this, so at this very moment, everyone else is also racing against time to expand and develop.
Ye Long withdrew his gaze and saw the king cautiously approaching him.
"Dragon, Dragon God, we have finished setting up the fishing traps you taught us. What's the next step?"
What's the next step?
Ye Long frowned. How many people have completed basic development by now?
"Build houses, make clothes from hides, cook food by making fire, tame wild animals, cultivate fields to grow grain, mine mountains with diamonds, and smelt iron to cast tools."
The first three are the foundation, while the latter four represent gradual development.
On the eighth day since the game started, how many people have achieved the basic requirements?
According to Ye Long's estimation, there shouldn't be any.
Ye Long turned to look at the king, "Come closer and listen carefully to what I have to say. Let's go and see what the needs of most people are."
"Clothing, housing, and food must be taken care of for everyone."
"Secondly, mining is of paramount importance. We must promote the mining industry first, no matter what, understand?"
The king scratched his head. "Um, so... how exactly do we do it?"
Ye Long turned to look at the king, "Do you know what a mine is?"
"Replying to the Dragon God, I don't know."
Should we start the explanation from here?
Ye Long suddenly choked up.
This place is surrounded by mountains and has a large amount of exposed ore, mainly coal, with the most abundant veins.
Countless people are here waving stones, trying to chip away at the mineral deposits exposed on the surface, bit by bit.
Beside these people was a swarm of insects, which were slowly gnawing at the rocks.
The god of this civilization is the Insect God.
That is, the Insects, now in ghost form, Insects with its claws, crying out, "It's over, it's all over!"
The Insects let out a roar; he was now terrified.
Because the only ability he can use is to control insects!
Yes, his ability is neither reproduction nor division, but rather the domination of insects that he did not create!
If we can't separate our family members, then we're doomed!
The Insects was now covered in sweat; he had thought this game would be his home turf!
But what happened? The ability it was allocated wasn't to split!
So, the abilities that each person can use are actually randomly selected?
Really?
The Insects could no longer hold on. He only had the ability to control insects left, what good was that?
A man wielding a stone wiped the sweat from his brow, watching the insects diligently gnawing at the rocks. He couldn't help but sigh:
"The Insect God's ability is truly peculiar. With the help of some little insects, the progress has accelerated considerably."
The king, wearing a crown, was also in the mining team.
His physical condition was not as good as others, and he began to pant for breath after only a few hours.
At that moment, a golden Holy Beetle came to him with a leaf in its hand, the leaf glistening with dew.
The king paused for a moment, then took the leaf and drank the dew.
"Th... thank you."
The Holy Beetle waved its limbs, as if in response to the king.
The king was amused by this scene. He held the insect in his palm and silently made a decision.
He decided to use the shape of this insect as a totem, or rather a symbol, to carve it on stone walls and buildings so that everyone could see it.
And their civilization could perhaps be named after this.
