Landing 500 Years Early, I Became a God by Digging for Treasures 15

Chapter 15: The Urgent Need to Embark on the Transcendent Path

[Eighth Epoch, how much time is left?]

[Civilizations hiding in safe zones are indeed unaffected by these super-catastrophes.]

[But, is hiding in a safe zone forever truly a foolproof solution?]

[What awaits us in the end?]

Lu Yuan took a deep breath.

If the “god” who created the Pangu Continent truly exists, would it allow these complacent civilizations to survive indefinitely?

The author of the paper expressed their deep concerns, but offered no effective suggestions. Solving problems is harder than identifying them.

[If we could leave the safe zone, perhaps we could obtain the legacy of that sky city. That city is only 17,000 kilometers from our safe zone.]

He could only worry.

Whether or not to revoke the safe zone is a difficult and complex political issue, a common challenge that all citizens must face, determined by the deepest cultural values of a civilization. When a civilization chooses comfort, then you can only be comfortable.

…

Lu Yuan felt rather heavy after reading this.

After all, judging from the previous “performance appraisal forms” and “human resource forms,” human nature is universal.

Do the 17 branches of human civilization truly have the courage to revoke the safe zone and enter the Pangu Continent?

Lu Yuan expressed his doubts.

To put it bluntly, everyone is the same.

He remembered a famous saying—”Trust in the wisdom of future generations.”

And so, future generations trusted the wisdom of their own future generations, resulting in generation after generation repeating the same mistakes, a truly laughable situation.

…

However, after worrying for a while, he could only chuckle wryly.

He had spent nearly 15 days on the Pangu Continent; with a time flow rate of 100:1, that’s only 3.6 hours in the safe zone.

People’s joys and sorrows differ; he might die tomorrow, so how could he have the right to care about such matters of civilization?

“Just live your own life!”

“I am the 18th human civilization, already a great civilization that has left the safe zone.”

Next, he found a very useful article.

[Physique, Qi, and Spirit: What do these three attributes represent?]

[Author: Maha Gou.]

Lu Yuan focused his attention and carefully read.

[……]

[In today’s data-driven universe, most life forms possess these three attributes: Physique, Qi, and Spirit.]

[Understanding the true meaning of these three attributes can help us pave the way for a transcendent future.]

[Through statistics, we believe that the proportion of those born with superpowers in the Midea Civilization is approximately one in ten.]

[While the proportion of those born with “observation abilities” is approximately one in one hundred thousand.]

[With the help of these observers, we have obtained basic information about these three attributes: Physique, Qi, and Spirit…]

“The probability of being born with observation abilities is one in one hundred thousand?” Lu Yuan was slightly startled.

His “Explorer’s Eye” might be a superior observation ability.

Because it can not only observe attribute panels but also read the information of items, and even decipher the writing of other civilizations!

This ability is truly powerful, no wonder it calls itself a “great ability.”

“The reward for the only milestone, when you think about it, is pretty amazing.”

To get back to the point, this paper argues:

[“Physique” is a general term for tangible substances in the body, such as blood, muscles, internal organs, and skin, all part of “Physique.”]

Physique often represents strength and physique.

While “Qi” refers to the general term for intangible substances.

In the 0.00001 seconds before a person dies and the 0.00001 seconds after, the blood, muscles, and internal organs are almost the same.

So why do people die? What change causes death?

Midea civilization experts believe that it is the disappearance of “Qi.”

Without “Qi,” the functions of metabolism, warming the internal organs, defending against external evils, and converting nutrients are lost. Qi is also an important factor in sensing the outside world; most living things in the world have Qi, and many perceptual abilities are perceived through the action of “Qi.”

The attribute “Spirit,” however, is the most complex; Physique and Qi are the foundations of Spirit, and Spirit is the master of Physique and Qi.

In the simplest terms, “Spirit” is the “self,” the spiritual soul.

Without the existence of the “self,” nothing has meaning.

Lu Yuan compared his attributes to those of Old Wolf. His three attributes were basically around 5 points, a relatively balanced type.

Old Wolf’s “Qi” attribute was relatively high, [6.8-9.2], while its “Spirit” attribute was quite low, less than 2 points.

“It seems quite reasonable… Old Wolf’s danger perception ability is indeed much higher than mine, is it because its Qi is higher…?”

“Awoooo, awooo!” Old Wolf, having done something bad, came running over to frolic.

After its rendezvous, it was ecstatic.

[A wolf, exhausted after completing a sacred act. Even though it’s old, it’s still enjoying the young flesh.]

[It has regained its wolfish pride and is showing off its powerful reproductive ability.]

Oh, the pain!

“Go, go, go, I’m busy…”

Lu Yuan was engrossed in his reading and had no time to deal with this dog.

He organized these files and went to the next cabinet, examining them one by one.

“The sixth branch of the Midea civilization, after three hundred years of development in the safe zone, supernatural powers have become widespread among the population, with 90% of the population possessing abilities.”

“The strongest warrior in the army has a Supra Grade of 3, with attributes around 18 points…”

Lu Yuan didn’t know how strong a Supra Grade 3 really was.

Nor did he know the value of 18 points in attributes, because the data in the paper was all about things like muscle cell activity, which he couldn’t understand.

Maybe he could fight those minor bosses?

Perhaps even fight the regional big boss, the man-eating plant?

“If I had the strength of a Grade 3, hey… I would have been walking all over the Pangu Continent.”

Lu Yuan deeply understood that this is the most valuable pioneering period, whether it’s the “only milestone,” the still-growing transcendent beings, or various natural treasures, they can be found everywhere.

But in ten years, those transcendent beings with strong potential will have grown up, and Lu Yuan will no longer be their match.

In another hundred years, civilizations will leave the safe zones and enter the Pangu Continent, leading to direct competition.

He might not even get the “only milestone.”

This thought gave him a sense of urgency, and he quickly searched through countless files for useful information.

He must embark on the transcendent path as soon as possible to have the courage to explore the Pangu Continent.

With his current mortal body, venturing into the world would be a death sentence.
