I became a god by treasure hunting after arriving 500 years early-Chapter 512
Chapter 512: Chapter 377: Thirty-Nine Years Later Chapter 512: Chapter 377: Thirty-Nine Years Later ·Lu Yuan listened for a long time, and then he sighed: “I understand…
Since he has such a determination, we can only treat it as our last resort.”
“I agree to let him conduct experiments on Coral Island.
But indeed, it must be done inside an intercontinental missile, and I will have the military closely monitor the situation.”
Lu Linshu swallowed a gulp of saliva: “Great Commander…
What I mean is, I would like to participate too.
It’s a tough mission, and without my knowledge, it would be very difficult for him to succeed.”
“And, it will take a very long, very long time, really a long time…”
“It’s really…
troubling for you guys.”
Lu Linshu hung up the phone, his eyes filled with firmness.
It’s not just you, Lu Tiantian, who is willing to make sacrifices!
...
He thought of his family, his close friends.
“Pengzi, Younger Sister Ran…
I will make things right for you.”
…
Six years after the war, the biological experimental lab on Coral Island was officially established.
There was no grand ceremony or festivity for its opening, but it gathered almost all of the biological experts from Human 18th Civilization!
It was built on a large intercontinental missile, constantly monitored by the military.
A total of 12 well-known professors conducted long-term experiments inside the missile.
In addition, a team of over a hundred biologists provided data and industrial support from Green Grass City.
“I declare…
the high-risk biological laboratory is officially established.
This is our most important plan moving forward.”
Lu Yuan loudly said: “These 12 professors can mobilize almost all resources.
Including resources produced by the Insect Clan Army.”
“But the cost is…
if the [Blood Ghost] crisis erupts, we can only launch the intercontinental missiles to send the danger away…”
“Let us give our blessings, to these brave souls, for the victorious day that lies ahead.”
…
Afterward, as the city was still enveloped by the Ghost fog, aside from combating the mutations, there was not much else for humans to do.
Those who were on duty did their shifts, and those who needed to slept, slept.
With his long lifespan, Lu Yuan was not greatly harmed by the Ghost fog, so there was no need for him to hibernate.
He was idle, and so he began to study the knowledge of Engravings within that soul crystal using its “Extreme Focus” trait.
That “Great Gear Treasure Book” really required a tremendous amount of research time!
Now that all of humanity was asleep, free from distractions, he could concentrate solely on his studies.
He left the little matters to Old Cat to handle.
Meanwhile, he siphoned a bit of the Ideal Energy collected by Conch Girl to quickly raise his Godhood points to 30.
…
Time really flew by.
By the eighth year, the Green Grass Paradise nurtured by the Yingyu Tree was finally connected to the Soul Gem that suppressed the [Ghosts], meaning Miss Conch could temporarily step away from her duties.
However, after some discussion, Lu Yuan refused to awaken more staff.
Because as long as the Ghost fog remained, there was always the risk of mutations in everyday life.
Therefore, the entire suppression operation continued to be undertaken by Lady Conch.
…
In the tenth year, Lu Yuan braved the risks and entered a spaceship of the Great Lai Empire to negotiate with the Mirror [Demon].
The result, however, was futile.
It wasn’t that the Mirror [Demon] couldn’t offer a solution, but its asking price was too high…
The sourc𝗲 of this content is freēwēbηovel.c૦m.
An “ancient stranger” from the Ancient Era causing Ghost fog had already brought such great casualties to mankind.
Lu Yuan was truly unwilling to take on greater risks, to bear the malice of this Mirror Demon.
He preferred to slowly wait it out here until the day the wind machines would drain the Ghost fog away.
…
In the eighteenth year, a piece of neutral news, neither good nor bad.
The Life Essence Liquid left by the Little Mirage Dragon was finally all used up by the “Chaos Essence Stone” nurtured by the Tree of Life!
Under this hefty investment, the “Chaos Essence Stone” underwent a subtle transformation.
One half of it turned fiery red, emitting a terrifying high temperature like magma; the other half had a hint of faint green light, carrying a slight trace of Life Qi.
On its surface, patterns similar to those of the “Life Fruit” emerged.
It was nearing maturity and could now house a soul and mold a whole new body.
His dream of “I don’t want to be human” could soon be realized.
But somehow, Lu Yuan always felt that…
even if this thing could indeed be used for reincarnation, the final result would still be a Racial Value a bit higher than that of humans, yet still not reaching the true Mythical level.
Yes, even with such a significant investment, something was still missing.
Having witnessed such a grand war, Lu Yuan formed an idea: “All our efforts are in vain if we can’t beat the [Ghosts].
It only makes sense if we can at least withstand them for a while or suppress them.”
Otherwise, it would be better to cultivate the Tree of Life instead.
But speaking of the Tree of Life, well, it’s not that it will no longer be cultivated…
but its offensive power is still too weak.
As a creature with Life Attribute, in terms of rules, it is actually not suitable for combat.
It can only rely on brute force to fight, but it’s really hard to suppress a Ghost, even the lowest level of Ghost is difficult.
Lu Yuan looked up in “Great Gear Treasure Book” and thought that this “Chaos Essence Stone” was still missing a strange substance—”Divine Charm.”
The energy from the Earth Veins and Life Energy, though coexisting harmoniously, had not fused perfectly together.
But what exactly is this so-called “Divine Charm”?
…
In the thirty-second year, with the support of Immortal Equipment and Soul Gems, Lu Yuan finally reached 30 Divine Attribute points, becoming a Great Spirit Rhythmer.
Well, this is also a small personal achievement.
However, there was not much of a sensation; just a little more clarity of senses, a bit more intellect, and a slight increase in spiritual power.
As for the impact on combat power, it seemed not so significant?
The value of “God” grows exponentially, but combat power seems to grow linearly, what a pitfall!
Moreover, Lu Yuan clearly felt his own bottleneck; with so many adventures and the enhancement from Immortal Equipment, his upper limit is probably only 31-32 Divine points.
So, he deliberately slowed his progress, lest his soul truly becomes saturated.
“I really don’t understand, just how strong was your adventure initially that you could reach a 36-point limit, I don’t buy it!”
“Little rookie, do you really want to catch up to me?
Don’t know that sister is built up by a civilization?
(*Proud)”
“When will you be full?
(*Dissatisfied)”
“Almost…
soon.
(*Guilty)”
“You’ve said that several times already!!
(*Angry)”
…
Time passed again.
In the thirty-ninth year, while Lu Yuan was buried in the Soul Gem voraciously studying, he suddenly heard a burst of exclamations from the outside.
“The sun is out!”
“Report to the Great Commander, the concentration of the Ghost fog has finally decreased to the limits that ordinary organisms can endure!
Algae have successfully proliferated!
Fungi have successfully proliferated!”
The patrolling soldiers of Sky City suddenly burst into exhilarating laughter.
Hope came so unexpectedly that the whole world seemed to have turned into a sunny day.
In fact, they hadn’t fully experienced the 39 years; to boost morale and reduce the risk of deformations, Lu Yuan arranged for the patrol teams to stay in batches inside the Sky Pit.
From the soldiers’ perspective, the time felt like around 1-2 years.
But this period of time was also long enough…
long enough that they had forgotten some of the pains and began to long for blue skies and white clouds.
Lu Yuan quickly returned his soul to his body and walked out of his room.
Well, this was actually a cloudy day; the sun was hiding behind the high clouds, faintly visible.
“Commander Lu, look!” Professor Desert, showing him around the various biological laboratories.
Creatures like small white mice, fish, plants, and fungi could live safely without protection.
Then, Lu Yuan proceeded to the workplace of the large exhaust fan.
This exhaust fan was indeed very large; the diameter of the vent alone was 2 meters.
After a series of pipes and complex transformations, the power of Ghosts would be filtered out and sealed into a small glass bottle.
Now, in this small glass bottle, there appeared a drop of black substance, which was exactly the drop of blood that had contaminated Lu Yuan’s left arm in the past!
This drop of blood was wriggling, as if eager to break through the glass bottle.
But obviously, this was impossible; many layers of “Sealing Resin” had been applied between the layers of glass indeed!
“It’s easy to let out, but so difficult to take back,” Lu Yuan sighed deeply inside, glancing at the black liquid.
[Deformed Ghost’s Blood, containing special rules.]
[The Deformed Ghost, in the presence of Ghost-level Phenomena, might be a weaker existence.
Otherwise, even just a drop of blood would not be so easily sealed.]
“Isn’t that the truth, this thing is too treacherous.”
“At least we made it through.”
The surrounding maintenance workers also had lingering fears, not knowing how to describe these years.
(The workers also had a shift rotation system; the time they experienced was about a year.)
“Do we need to awaken everyone?” asked Professor Desert, “Theoretically, everyone should no longer be affected by Ghost fog.
Our civilization can develop normally.”
Lu Yuan was silent for a moment: “Let’s wait a bit longer…
we can’t rush this…”
“For safety’s sake, let the exhaust fan run for a while longer.
We need to reduce the concentration of these damned things to the lowest.
Continue the rotation system, awaken more personnel, but do not exceed ten thousand.”
Professor Desert nodded: “That’s also true.”
People looked in the direction of Coral Island…
The professors there were still trying hard.
For…
a full thirty-nine years.
Those professors had actually experienced the proper 39 years, much more difficult than anyone else.
(Lu Yuan, who was studying Engravings inside the Soul Gem, did not feel much time passing.)
…
Lu Yuan sighed lightly; he had another reason he hadn’t mentioned, although on a rational level, he felt that the 180,000 Mutated People might not be salvageable.
But on an emotional level, he still wanted to continue waiting, waiting for a miracle to happen.
If they were to be let out now, normal people finding out that half of their friends and relatives were gone, might not be able to bear it.
Lu Yuan was a compassionate person; he still wanted to wait a little longer.
