Chapter 676: The Unevenness of Civilizations
"We don't ask for much responsibility from you, only that you don't defect."
Lu Yuan narrowed his eyes. It's hard to predict what those Liberal Faction demons are really thinking.
But he has already sent out the signal, and what will happen can only be left to fate.
"Man proposes, God disposes. The Ninth Epoch doesn't belong to me alone; every civilization must give it their all."
The Linyuan Giant saw the Ancient Insect departing, his face returning to a cold indifference, speaking loftily: "Humans, you may enter now, and witness the true heritage of my Ancient Clan."
"I hope when you see the Innate Myth, you can remain so confident."
This guy knows how to judge people by their appearance.
Lu Yuan was too lazy to bother with such nobodies, leading the Giant Divine Weapon Corps past him.
The Ancient Insect was leisurely taking in the scenery ahead, and the Insect Clan Army it led emitted various sharp whistling sounds.
"Ancient Insect, let's act separately later," Lu Yuan said. "You were a former general of the Emperor, and we represent humanity. Let's pretend we don't know each other."
"Heh, I have a Think Tank to advise me, ensuring nothing goes wrong!"
Clearly, due to all the attention, it was in a euphoric state—so what if humans are better than the Underground Alliance, they still need me to solve their problems!
Going further up was the top of the Sky Pillar.
This was an unimaginably vast White Jade Platform, its surface flowing with a milky glow, as if the entire jade was forged from solidified moonlight.
Even the size of the Ancient Insect seemed somewhat insignificant against the White Jade Platform.
Lu Yuan squinted and saw many Ancient Races.
Their appearances were diverse; many beings looked as godlike as they were demonic, quite intimidating.
"Great Commander, that should be the Innate Myth, obscured by clouds," Lu Ying adjusted the radar of the Giant Divine Weapon. "The intensity of their Idealistic fluctuations is high, but still weaker compared to ghosts, yet not easy to deal with either…"
Lu Yuan laughed heartily: "Don't be afraid, we have Blood Ghost Bullets and Mutant Bullets. If a fight breaks out, they're afraid of dying too."
"Besides, don't think that only humans are heroes under Heaven."
"Many don't like these ancient clan civilizations at all!"
Indeed, these Ancient Races are not of one mind, only forming a temporary alliance due to common interests.
When it comes to war, deciding which race will survive and which will die becomes a big issue.
"Keep the quantum radar in reconnaissance mode, detecting nearby Mind fluctuations, and tally the number of civilizations."
"Understood!"
A soft "whoosh" sound, the little round metal ball Old Cat was in used the "adsorption" ability to attach to Lu Yuan.
"Da da da!" the little round ball sounded.
"What's going on with the humans over there? Why did you come here?" Lu Yuan took out a mechanical cat body and put it on Old Cat.
"Hmm, everything's ready. With the Little Mirage Dragon guarding, nothing should happen for now..."
The thing squeezed into the cockpit with Lu Yuan, making the originally comfortable single cockpit a bit crowded.
Old Cat curiously looked around, making strange noises.
On the platform, numerous Ancient Engravings were etched.
Lu Yuan observed for quite a while but didn't know what use these things served.
"They should be re-exploring the uses of the Blood Sacrifice Rules, a field I've never encountered before."
Before long, more and more civilizations arrived at the Sky Pillar, possibly because these civilizations moved too slowly. The Ancient Races had specially used large flying boats to transport a large number of civilizations up.
Each civilization had its area.
The Jiazi District was evidently the VIP area, while regular civilizations did not receive such treatment.
"The Lin Yuan Clan, Evil Dragon Clan, Evil Soul Clan, Blood Glutton Clan, and Void Race—all these Five Great Races have Innate Myths," the lizard man Tado said cautiously on the side, feeling a sense of dread like walking on a tightrope after witnessing the earlier tough stance of humans.
Humans' performance attracted the attention of all the Ancient Races; those hundreds-of-meters-tall giants stared over. Even with a layer of machinery between, all soldiers still felt the pressure!
Yet everyone remained resolute, without fear!
Tado steadied his heart, knowing he represented the Rize Civilization and couldn't show weakness here.
"Besides, there are more than twenty ancient races with long histories… they are quite mysterious, with little information available."
"But it is certain that their Innate Myths have fallen..."
"Each of them possesses Mythical Level Extraordinary Items!"
"It is said... just said, that the ghosts coming from across the ocean were suppressed by these Mythical Treasures… though, it wasn't easy, and some costs were involved."
The number of civilizations at the scene continued to rise, with various races, bizarre and diverse. Many were familiar to humans, like the Golden Bull Civilization, whose city was near Green Grass City, with frequent trade interactions.
But upon seeing humans, the Golden Bull Civilization chose to stay far away, unwilling to step into the limelight, pretending not to recognize each other.
Old Cat couldn't help but sneer: "Heh, these Bull Heads are usually bold, but now do they see us as potential failures? Eager to clear any suspicion."
Some civilizations, unfamiliar to humanity, actually came over specifically to greet them.
"Human Civilization, pleased to meet you, hoping we can complement each other and progress together in the future."
Some civilizations, with power armor whose Idealistic Protection Ability was insufficient, were directly incapacitated under strong interference.
Having no choice, they had to temporarily leave their armor, facing the hundreds-of-meters-tall Ancient Races as individual beings.
