Chapter 670: Turtle Civilization Reinforcements Arrive!
Just like that, the Ancient Insect accepted the title of the Insect Race Emperor, and for a while, there was peace with the Ancient Races.
The number of civilizations gathered nearby increased, and eventually exceeded three thousand.
Assuming each civilization spent three to five hundred, it could bring in about 100,000 civilization points in revenue!
Therefore, Lu Yuan was investing heavily in the Qiankun World every day.
Time passed again, until the eleventh month, with only one month left before the Buzhou Grand Festival, the vast territory was unprecedentedly prosperous.
From time to time, cities and spaceships passed through the sky, in various styles, including steel concrete structures, dragon boats, flying saucers, pyramids, lotus shapes, and more.
And the Ancient Races who were out and about returned, finally having enough manpower to issue various regulations and maintain order.
[The Buzhou Grand Festival is about the Epoch Disaster. Since we live together on this continent, we should unite to face the disaster together.]
[From today on, no matter how great the grudges, conflicts must not break out. Otherwise, it will be against the Ancient Races.]
This rule is quite normal.
The civilization around the Ancient Insect is so numerous, information flows very smoothly.
"I heard that recently several strong technological civilizations have arrived, naturally interstellar civilizations."
"Also, a race has risen in the flames of war, developing from nothing to the level of a fourth-level civilization in just three hundred years... They have merged over ten civilizations! With so many species merged, that leader is truly remarkable."
Lu Yuan listened intently, thinking to himself, "The leader of this race might be a Demon?"
With so many civilizations, some must have been taken over by a Demon, but Lu Yuan didn't have the time to identify them.
His primary target now is the Ancient Races!
"Anything particularly important happening lately?"
In front of him stood more than a dozen ancient species, specifically came to the temple to check accounts, now all controlled by the Control ability, spending more than a thousand Spirit Essence.
Controlling intelligent creatures actually contradicts Lu Yuan's principles, but he's not rigid; when it's necessary, he uses it.
Besides making these Ancient Races periodically bleed, he only had them report intelligence and wouldn't have them do too risky things.
"Reporting to the king!" A tall warrior with horns said, "Recently our Emperor is investigating the information of the Tower Top Civilization. The existence time of the Tower Top Civilization is only ten years, and only a very small number of species know the corresponding information."
"And some people are investigating ways to go to the Moon."
"Oh? How so?" Lu Yuan immediately became interested.
"The specific negotiation results are unknown, they seem to have strategically abandoned it... Perhaps wait for the Buzhou Grand Festival to end before considering."
Lu Yuan pondered for a moment, then asked, "How many civilizations know the intelligence of the Tower Top? Have they come to the scene?"
The Ancient Races are divided into two categories, the first category is species that hid during the First Epoch, now unable to hide, re-emerging.
Their power is generally strong, and their bodies are vastly different from humans, ranging from a few dozen meters to a few hundred meters in height, like towering giants—their innate myth probably still alive, also the organizers of the Buzhou Grand Festival.
The second category includes Ancient Races like the Lu Shu Civilization and Turtle Civilization, who have painfully endured through investing in civilizations since the First Epoch.
Upon inquiring, this type of civilization actually numbers quite a few, at least over ten!
With gradually thinning bloodlines, individual combat power becomes lower, some races even begin to resemble the Human Race.
This phenomenon is quite normal, as the Human Race has the most widespread bloodline on Pangu Continent, coupled with the former Emperor and the Thick Earth Civilization of the Sixth Epoch, there might be some favoritism factors on Pangu Continent.
Additionally, the Fifth Epoch natives who received the benefits of the Tower Top Civilization, now also count as Ancient Races.
It's just that their starting stage is the Fifth Epoch.
The ox-headed warrior said, "The Tower Top Civilization's benefits are too great, a little essence can elevate an entire civilization."
"It's said there's a race responsible for guarding the key to the Moon, called the 'Steel Key' tribe. Their temperament is like stones in a latrine, stinky and hard, clashed with the Emperor, but ultimately seemed to have escaped successfully."
"The Emperor was furious for three days and nights, wanting to find them, but it ended in vain."
Lu Yuan sighed, "Such things happen..."
"There's another race, said to be the descendants of the Thick Earth Civilization, each dressed in fineries, like kings upon the world."
"Those are the descendants of the Peak Civilization; our race arranged a grand reception..." The ox-headed warrior paused, looking anxious.
Another ancient species couldn't hold back, "Speak! What happened next?"
The Minotaur stammered, "Seems they are frauds... big frauds."
"They disappeared after tricking money... The Emperor was furious for five days and nights, blowing a big mountain to pieces."
Everyone burst into laughter, while Lu Yuan, the "king," maintained a serious face, striving to keep a straight demeanor.
The Tower Top Civilization, as the unique of nine epochs, even the Ancient Races covet its legacy.
Intelligent creatures are the same, as long as there's greed, easy to be deceived.
"The world's anecdotes are indeed incredibly bizarre."
