I became a god by treasure hunting after arriving 500 years early-Chapter 1306 - 725: Beautiful Civilization

With this conflicted mindset, the Flame Snake Civilization quickly convened an internal meeting!

"Mr. Leader, who should we really believe?" A civilization elder said worriedly, "If the Magic Cube left by the advanced civilization is correct, and we reach the Moon first, we can ascend instantly and become a Sixth-level Civilization."

"If Green Grass City is correct, the moment we reach the Moon, we’ll be torn to pieces by countless monsters!"

The temptation of achieving Sixth-level Civilization was right in front of them; they had already witnessed the strength of a Fifth-level Civilization, how powerful could a Sixth-level Civilization be?

In the blink of an eye, the enemy before them turned to ashes!

This enormous temptation made them subconsciously want to believe that what the "Magic Cube" said was true!

This wishful thinking exists more or less in even the smartest races, but it is the primary cause of being deceived.

"Quiet!" Council President Chi Ran slapped the floor with his tail, emitting two "bang bang" sounds.

Everyone finally quieted down.

The Council President said, "Logically, the information provided by Green Grass City is impeccable. If all the heritage to become a Sixth-level Civilization is on the Moon, would it be our turn?"

"Landing on the Moon isn’t that difficult; those Fifth-level Civilizations can easily do it."

"Regarding intelligence about the Moon, they know even more detailed information than we do."

"But they haven’t landed, and there must be a reason."

"What I’m contemplating is, what is the Magic Cube AI’s purpose in deceiving us? It... must have some motive, right?"

The conference room fell into silence.

This issue touched upon some conspiracy theories that are terrifying upon closer scrutiny.

Soon, someone explained, "It’s just an artificial intelligence; it’s normal for it not to know what happened afterward."

"It escaped from the Sixth Epoch; maybe the Moon hadn’t completely fallen at that time... Its database information is incomplete."

"What you said makes a lot of sense, but what if we think in the most malicious terms?"

Chi Ran calmly said, "Why is that ’Magic Cube’ being held tightly in the mouth of a [Demon·Nine-headed Giant Snake], refusing to let go?"

"All the resentment of [Nine-headed Giant Snake] is concentrated on the Magic Cube, and as time goes by, this Idealism Power not only hasn’t dissipated but has intensified, forming a powerful rule."

"According to our current understanding, [Demons] were merely tools invented to resist Epoch Disasters, and many [Demons] serve certain powerful civilizations."

"Why would a [Demon] hate the ’Magic Cube’ to the bone? Aren’t they supposed to be comrades?"

No one could answer this question.

If holding the Magic Cube tightly is to protect it, this explanation is also somewhat self-deceptive.

"So the Magic Cube’s motive is questionable."

"You mean, as long as we’re on the Moon, the restraints of [Demon·Nine-headed Giant Snake] on the Magic Cube would diminish."

"Even if our Flame Snake Civilization would perish the moment we land, that Magic Cube could be freed?"

"I didn’t mean that, just a reasonable hypothesis." Chi Ran lowered his voice.

A cold chill surged up along the tail bones to the top.

In terms of emotion, they were not very willing to believe, or rather reluctant to believe, that the original opportunity was actually an extinction crisis!

From a rational perspective, they’d rather believe it exists than dare to believe it doesn’t!

Nearly wiped out!

Council President Chi Ran added, "And another issue is that since the Magic Cube arrived at Pangu Continent, it has gradually collapsed and can’t be activated."

"Previously, we always thought it was due to the different rules between Pangu Continent and our original planet... but thinking about it now, there’s also a problem."

A clan elder, sweating profusely, queried, "Why is that?"

"The Magic Cube was made by an Advanced Civilization; by then, Peak Civilizations had appeared, and the path combining Materialism and Idealism had also emerged."

"To put it simply, I don’t believe that the creation of an Advanced Civilization can’t function when changing environments."

"What do you mean...?"

"Here’s a paper, everyone can have a look... it’s knowledge freely given by Green Grass City."

"Overview of Pangu Continent World Will Evolution," authored by a scientist from the Chi Civilization, who spent five hundred years conducting an investigation into the evolution of World Will.

"World Will" is very mysterious; it’s like air, omnipresent yet unseen and untouchable.

Even for Great Spirit Rhythmers, it’s incredibly difficult to perceive it.

However, some grand projects starting from Third-level Civilization can leverage the power of "World Will," like the "Harmony Conversion Array," formations to enhance Divine Attributes, Idealist Anti-gravity Device, etc., all aimed at harnessing the might of Heaven.

The paper writes:

"After long-term tracking and investigation, our Chi Civilization believes that starting from the Seventh Epoch, the intensification of World Will became a relatively clear phenomenon. However, during the Sixth Epoch, its strength was not high."

"...The reason might be that during the Seventh Epoch, the Gear Civilization created ’God.’ Analyzing it from an intuitive perspective, ’God’ seems to just be a wealth distribution system, but it’s not actually the case; ’God’ might be an Anomaly or perhaps a supercomputer..."

"In the subsequent Eighth Epoch, the specific location of ’God’ was not publicly disclosed; it was just further enhanced to become more intelligent..."

"Fast forward to the current Ninth Epoch. ’God’ has done nothing apart from initially issuing the Civilization Milestone, but this doesn’t mean it no longer exists."
