I became a god by treasure hunting after arriving 500 years early

"Friends, is there anything else you would like to ask?"

For a moment, a large group of Turtle People were intimidated by a pair of sunglasses, unable to speak.

And a group of craftsmen were deeply engrossed in several short swords, no longer daring to arbitrarily criticize.

…

The group continued forward, carrying with them not only weapons and energy devices but several "Universal Factories."

Humans actually have a "Universal Factory" too; it was a reward from a Civilization Milestone, and still plays a significant role now.

The Turtle People's "Universal Factory," however, is a top-tier legacy left by the Tower Top Civilization, equipped with artificial intelligence.

"[Delta Intelligent System is at your service, I can assist you in creation, reading documents, writing, and most material work, please assign your tasks to me~]"

This gigantic mainframe is like a glass sphere, filled with numerous flickering light dots inside.

"It used to be quite intelligent, like a sentient being. But after a certain Epoch Disaster, the intelligence was affected, and it's not so smart anymore."

"Fortunately, its industrial capabilities remain strong; a Universal Factory can support most industrial needs."

Lu Yuan nodded; this thing is indeed beneficial for civilizations with small populations.

He then went on to meet the alien group from the previous epoch.

These aliens were of different races with diverse appearances, curiously greeting Lu Yuan upon seeing him. Their population is small, around three hundred people, mostly Great Spirit Rhythmer, all of high quality.

They were informed in advance that the person in front of them is the largest investment target of the Turtle Civilization in this epoch.

"Hello, Mr. Lu, nice to meet you. I am Darwei, the Craftsman Master from the Moss Civilization."

"Hello."

The aliens ultimately lost their civilization, and each of them is quite old, unlike the Turtle People who still have some rebels.

They just asked a few polite questions and exchanged pleasantries.

No matter what ideas they had, they kept it in their hearts—after all, it didn't matter who the leader of the Mo Sect was; they were no longer the protagonists of the era.

Seeing this, Lu Yuan sighed in his heart: People with parents and those without, indeed have different levels of assertion.

The Turtle People still have a collective, so their self-esteem and morale are strong.

As for these aliens, a "Master Craftsman" title alone suppressed all of them.

Civilization is truly the most important trump card for a person...

Lu Yuan bowed slightly to everyone: "Friends, nice to meet you. Suddenly becoming your leader makes me sincerely anxious; the responsibility of the [Demon Sect] concerns the Epoch Disaster. Through many epochs, Pangu Continent still exists because each generation passes on the torch."

"This is not my own matter, but a grand endeavor shared by everyone."

"Inviting everyone here is because the Buzhou Grand Festival is about to be held."

"You should already know the intentions of those Ancient Races, so I won't elaborate."

He took a deep breath: "The humans, my race, civilization number 18, will express firm opposition at the 'Buzhou Grand Festival,' rejecting the reopening of Blood Sacrifice Rules, and prepare for war."

"Once the Blood Sacrifice Rules are reinstated, the outside environment will become a living hell, and the Ancient Races only wish to escape conveniently; they can't truly be relied upon to use the Blood Sacrifice Rules to combat the Epoch Disaster. Throughout so many epochs, they've remained hidden; do you think they'll change now? I don't believe so."

"Covering up the Blood Sacrifice Rules will instead promote exchange and cooperation between civilizations."

"This is also the common decision of our Human Civilization."

These words made everyone's heart skip a beat—it is truly a courageous choice.

Leading the opposition may well come at the cost of life.

Even those rebellious Turtle People were secretly amazed: "You probably can't win... Fourth-level Civilization isn't enough!"

"The reason for this decision is that Human Civilization has a backup path, it's not entirely selfless."

Lu Yuan spoke openly and honestly: "Our backup path is in the Northern Territory; it's a forgotten land and the place of human civilization's rise."

"Even if we lose the war, we can retreat to the Northern Territory, gaining a breathing chance..."

"Human Civilization's current strength is at the middle level of a Fourth-level Civilization, which is pretty good for this time. Plus, with my own combat power, I'm fearless of even the most troublesome enemies."

"But no matter what, we must prepare for the worst case and consider what to do if defeated."

He said this, his eyes flashing: "Therefore, I need everyone to split into two groups."

"One group will go to the Northern Territory and help manage the trading market there. The academic atmosphere is good, the people are simple, and there are many civilizations; it's a promising place. Just one Northern Territory is enough to birth a Fifth, or even Sixth-level Civilization!"

"We also need to construct the Planet Engine in the Northern Territory to delay the occurrence of the Epoch Disaster."

"The other group will stay at the Ruins of Buzhou… not for combat, but... I still want to win the war, win it all!"

He spoke firmly: "If we can win, this will become a larger potential trading market that needs management personnel."

"The Turtle Civilization's reputation is outstanding, ethical standards are high, the best suited for this role!"

"Securing this territory provides a stronger foundation to confront the Epoch Disaster."
