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

"Crack!" The surface of the power armor flickered with a faint blue light, and gear-like engravings slowly rotated.

To facilitate the retreat of the soldiers, the largest Giant Divine Weapon was equipped with a 'temple'. If the battle turned dire, they could directly escape back to Green Grass City.

"These fifty-odd mechas stand no chance against so much 'Infinite Qi', only the high-power electromagnetic gun and hydrogen bomb of the space carrier can subdue these creatures," Lu Yuan analyzed silently.

Soon, Colonel Lu Ying shouted, "Report to the Great Commander, all equipment operational and in good condition, awaiting orders!"

"Relax and observe the situation quietly."

"Yes!"

...

On the other side, the Ancient Insect also had a serious expression: [Heh, interesting. There's a feeling of 'Ghost', but not quite...]

[Why did Ancestor Insect get carried away and wade into these murky waters this time?]

[Is it worth it for some Civilization Points?]

It was deeply annoyed inside, but for the sake of image, it had to feign composure.

Beside it were a few Mythical Level anomalies, low in intelligence and uncertain about their purpose... They merely acted on instinct, displaying cautious behavior.

Meanwhile, other civilizations grew increasingly alarmed, if these beings were resurrected, wouldn't they gain a swarm of forebears?

The secret of 'Infinite Qi' was rather obscure, with limited information available across major ruins, yet some Second Generation Civilizations knew a bit.

Among them was one known as "Chi Civilization", with faces like beast heads, protruding tusks, grand forms, and skin like bronze.

Their history was very old, their ancestors fled during the Fourth Epoch, but subsequent epochs saw them back on Pangu Continent, acquiring technology in the Fifth Epoch before fleeing again—a civilization as rare as any on Pangu Continent.

"My lord, they've unearthed... leaders from the Ancient Era, who thrived on blood sacrifice and relished slaughter."

"Once they lose support of blood sacrifice, they would lose consciousness, becoming beasts."

The Chi Civilization leader, clad in Rhino Armor, looked sternly: "Are you implying... the Blood Sacrifice Rules must be unlocked?"

"Yes... these beings... will certainly support!"

Even the Second Generation Civilizations grew apprehensive, their ancestral legacies were strong, but facing these Infinite Qi beings might not hold up.

Still, some civilizations harbored a lucky mindset, reasoning that even if disaster struck, it wouldn't affect them for now.

The calm plaza began to turn chaotic, armors extensively damaged, leaving them with bare flesh on this plaza, real torture for mere mortals.

Only the cheers of the devotees remained, growing ever more fervent.

"Crash!"

Like the sound of shattering ceramic, those grim stone giants revived once more, suddenly surrounded by crimson!

Even sunlight was interfered with by Idealist interference, the world filled with blood hues!

Seventeen statues in total, faces varied, seeming to stare blankly at the scarlet sky.

It took them a long while to come to their senses.

"What is this place?" A three-headed monstrous person asked, voice like a torn cloth, "Who is it that has revived me?"

He glanced around, his pupils' green light ablaze like flames.

A craving for blood surged into his mind—fortunately, he was rational, merely suppressing the urge.

Another, missing his head, entirely nude with a human-formed face on his stomach, asked: "Who are you... Who am I?"

His voice carried a trace of wildness and confusion.

Next, the headless giant shouted, "I should be dead! Why am I revived?"

His entire body agitated, his hairs standing on end, a blood scent spraying from his pores.

At this moment, Buzhou Grand Festival's host spoke: [Everyone, I am the Innate Myth of the Evil Dragon Clan... I have awakened you for important discussion.]

The preparations by Ancient Races were thorough, the glow of Array Marks subtly glimmered, poised to activate defensive measures, while four other Innate Myths remained on alert.

And the Evil Dragon Emperor brought out a tool resembling a crystal ball.

This thing could transmit 'memory', enabling rapid information exchange.

"It's already the Ninth Epoch now..."

"My clan, has vanished!!" These powerful beings wailed like ghosts.

Upon learning their race was gone, they seemed to go mad, incessantly howling.

How much was true, how much false, remained unclear.

[Gentlemen, though your race may be gone, you're still alive, create a new lineage once more, why despair?]The Evil Dragon Emperor said, [Now the priority, is to unearth the Blood Sacrifice Rules, restore your strength!]

[Without Blood Sacrifice Rules, our strength will be suppressed long-term, the blood sacrifice effect is but marginal.]

[At this rate, you'll become mad.]

Suddenly, the headless giant spoke coldly: "Are you teaching me how to act?"

"I am mad, what has that to do with you?"

The Evil Dragon Emperor paused, unfamiliar with the giant, as their tribe was secluded early on.

Yet he patiently explained: [No, it's merely shared interest.]

[Without Blood Sacrifice Rules, we are stifled, unable to achieve greatness.]

The headless giant's body emitted malevolence, as if donned in robust armor.

The next second, he started to curse: "You truly despicable! What rubbish dragon emperor, don't you know lack of blood sacrifice is an immense blessing! Such calamities originate from it, and you're still longing for the past!"

"You truly despicable! Reviving us, even Epoch lifetimes will be shortened! You deserve to die!!"
