Great Stronghold
After the Mad Star was divided, Theseus's grand war for unification began. Although the technology of the Starshine World was reduced to zero, the resistance forces still existed. Although various superpowers were weakened by the loss of technological assistance, their numbers were still there. Therefore, despite having magical technology Theseus still had to proceed slowly to achieve unification.
"I plan to establish a world government and invite the Black Day to become a member state. What do you think?" Theseus said, squinting. He wasn't too worried about the war for unification. The trend was such that everyone else was just a mantis under the wheels of time, able to hinder it for a while, but unable to stop the progress or further development of the times.
"While your method of forming a member state may allow you to quickly unify the world, the so-called world government won't last long, will it?" Once again, Lu Li, relying on his physical body and the Star Knot, gained some foresight into the future trajectory of this world.
"Moreover, given the nature of those fruits, they will almost certainly be lost. Although this ensures that Mad Star will not be resurrected again, the power being scattered abroad could easily incite rebellion."
Lu Li turned around and saw a variety of fruits displayed in different parts of the room. These so-called Mad Star Fruits could grant someone the power of the fruit each time they consumed it, but their own power would also contaminate the fruit once, essentially requiring everyone's combined strength to divide the fruit once more.
Because of Mad Star's immortality, the fruit will regenerate after the user dies. Given enough time and enough users, the differences between each fruit will become increasingly greater, making it harder and harder to unify them. Ultimately, even if all the Mad Star Fruits were put together, Mad Star would never be able to revive.
Furthermore, this difference causes the two fruits to repel each other. Under normal circumstances, consuming both is suicidal. It is said that Theseus learned this technique in another world, where a great demon with immortality was split in this way.
"I don't need this world to exist for long, just a few hundred years will suffice. At that time, I will be able to successfully Integration this world, seize power over it, transform the Starshine World into the Theseus World, and become a complete part of the Theseus Great Ship."
Theseus said indifferently, "What I'm after is this world. Taking control of this world is just a way to provide a better ladder for myself to Integration into it. Once I've climbed up, the ladder can collapse as long as I want."
"Whatever makes you happy," Lu Li said casually. With Theseus's unification of the world, Lu Li's mission was almost complete, and because he had exceeded his target, his agreement with Theseus was also nearly finished.
Aurora began studying the blood of the Mad Star, experimentally creating a batch of Dragon Children. She then pestered Theseus for benefits, so Theseus smiled and named the Dragon Children Celestial Dragon, making them World Nobles. Aurora left satisfied, though she always felt that Theseus's smile was somewhat eerie.
In addition, in order to help the world restore stability and reduce casualties as soon as possible, Dobekla joined the World Government under the influence of Theseus. Theseus became the first Commander-in-Chief of the Army under the World Government and delivered his first speech while wearing the cloak of justice provided by Theseus.
Most of the organizations that did not obey the World Government went to remote places and became bandits, establishing one stronghold after another. In order to better rule the world, Theseus gradually erased the heroic era of the Starshine World for two hundred years, which became the Lost Two Hundred Years.
The Black Day controls the Starshine Grand Barrier, turning it into a hidden weapon with the ability to control the environment; it is known as the God King.
Aurora's research finally made progress, creating a Demonspawn that combined the genes of many Star Calamity beings. This being possessed the ability to control Star Calamity monsters and was known as the Demon King. The Demonspawn that remained in this world, through long-term adaptation, gathered around the Demon King and became another race in this world.
The veterans of the Mechanical Watch Organization, having used the activated algae, were also infected by the shadow after Star Knot was infected by the same shadow. They endured the pain of being shadow-transformed and became tormented spirits wandering this world, yearning for revenge against Lu Li.
To this end, they combined the manufacturing blueprints of Shimada Kako obtained from Lu Li with the manufacturing blueprints of the Flesh and Blood Mech brought by a small number of remnants of the Light of Bloodline, and took a different approach to create a weapon called the Evil King. However, they were eventually wiped out by the army in cooperation with the Black Day, leaving only a few remnants to escape with the Evil King manufacturing blueprints.
A small number of superheroes who survived that battle Aggregation together to commemorate that era of superheroes. They all added an "S" to their names to represent superheroes, as they are all sons of heroes. Their descendants possess the will of superheroes and can create miracles, hence the name "S Clan".
As time went by, the Mad Star Fruits slowly leaked out with the deaths of previous users. At the same time, the remnants of the Mad Star Dragon's power that had been spat out by the earth also Integration the earth, becoming a special mineral that could counteract the power of the Mad Star Fruits.
When Lu Li entered the world, he infected a large number of people and spread a lot of incomplete martial arts knowledge. After several generations of hybridization, everyone in this world is born with hidden Shadow Power. As long as they find the right method, they can awaken their Shadow Power and combine it with the incomplete martial arts knowledge left by Lu Li to form three kinds of Shadow Power: Shadow Body Tempering, Shadow Perception, and finally, Frenzied Infection.
Centuries later, the World Government became corrupt and decadent, and bandits multiplied, forming numerous strongholds that divided the Theseus World. Eventually, a man with an S Will led his stronghold to the Tartarus Desert, which was named the Land of Beginning and End.
Upon his return, he surrendered to the army and, during his execution, declared that he had left everything behind in the Tartarus Desert, thus ushering in the Great Stronghold Era...
Theseus finished writing the script in his hands, and the fate of this world gradually came into his grasp. He understood the future of this world better than Lu Li. When the plot began, he would truly control this world. As for the future direction of this world, he would leave it to others to write.
Placing this book in the Tartarus Desert, it is believed that the later arrival will understand His consciousness. However, Theseus looked outside at Field Marshal Dobekla, who seemed to have added an "S" to his name as well. Thus, the future protagonist is easily determined.
"Alright, distribute the Mad Star Fruits." Theseus sat in his chair and instructed the World Government personnel. Then, his eyes flickered, and among the pile of fruits, one appeared—a fruit with a pitch-black shadow. "Lu Li's experimental subject? Let him go."
Lu Li's Shadow Body writhed, and He vaguely saw the aftermath of this world. He left behind some experimental subjects and backup plans, and guided Star Knot's main body into the Shadow Dreamlands. She then sank into the shadowy environment and underwent the final upgrade and transformation, completely becoming a new shadowy species.
Lu Li's eyes flashed as he looked up at the sky. It was time to go into outer space and explore the mysteries of the absorbing factors of the Star Calamity.
Won't I get killed for making such a blatant copy? QAQ
