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

Chapter 71: Chapter 68: Humans, which information do you want?

Lu Yuan sighed lightly, "If you want to know about this content, just ping once within half an hour, don't ping too much."

"Anyway, I don't suggest that everyone just abolish the Safe Zone without any preparation."

He took a deep breath and, as his desire to express himself slowly rose, his speech gradually became more fluent.

Damn it, talking to humans is just so much more satisfying than talking to dogs!

Old Wolf looked at Lu Yuan with confusion, as if to ask, are you nuts for talking to a hunk of iron this whole time?

Lu Yuan strove to maintain his image as a revered cultivator and refrained from kicking it.

"The second piece of content is about Superpowers."

"What is the most important ability for a civilization?"

"Of course, it's the Extraordinary Spark!"

In Lu Yuan's right palm, a small red flame suddenly appeared, which was his Extraordinary Spark.

Of course, it was only about half of the total amount.

He couldn't possibly take out all of his Spark.

This small flame, continuously hopping around, radiated a gentle light and warmth.

This thing emitted Ideal Energy and couldn't directly ignite objects; instead, it primarily affected himself.

With a thought from Lu Yuan, it turned into a thin Light Screen, covering his body's surface.

This layer of skin was instantly greatly enhanced, as tough as lizard skin.

He picked up a small knife and slashed it hard. (A regular metal knife, not a Superior dagger.)

It only left a white mark, without drawing blood.

"The main use of the Extraordinary Spark is to enhance attributes, to strengthen the physique and extend life."

"Shape, Qi, Spirit—these three attributes, some of you should be able to identify them, aren't you?"

"The strength of the Extraordinary Spark lies in its transmissibility; like this little flame of mine, it can be taught to many people."

"Thus, everyone can possess this ability."

"This matter, it's not something that can be explained in a short while. If you want to know about this content, just ping twice..."

Lu Yuan punched out, his clothes rubbing against the air, making a crisp "whoosh" sound.

With a light jump, he became as agile as a gecko, moving around the ceiling and along the walls in a full circle.

Lu Yuan estimated that among humans, the most talented strong man, without any superpowers and through training, could achieve a "Shape" of around 8 points.

Attribute domination is not to be underestimated; a 13-point beating up an 8-point opponent didn't require any fighting skills; one could simply steamroll over.

"The third important content is about civilization milestones. Oh, seems like I've already demonstrated it directly?"

"Besides the Unique Milestone, there should be many ordinary Milestones. I remember... the Meida Civilization once achieved a few ordinary Milestones and even got some rewards like Mutated Plants."

"But no matter what, ordinary Milestones should also have a quota limit."

"I don't know which of the 17 cities is Yunhai City... Anyway, I hope everyone stays safe. From the standpoint of humans, try to obtain as many Milestones as possible."

"One step ahead leads to being steps ahead."

Lu Yuan paused, feeling that his desire to express himself was a bit too exuberant, like an old lady nagging non-stop.

But this feeling of discussing with his fellow men was really nice. Experience more tales on M-V-L

It was completely different from talking to oneself, and it was also different from conversing with Old Wolf.

The other party could understand human speech and could even make a "ping" sound in agreement; talking turned out to be such a joyful thing!

If it weren't for the concern about maintaining his image, he would really want to talk for an entire day and night!

Lu Yuan demonstrated his movement technique, then shrugged his shoulders, "I know this is hard..."

"But if you fear danger and stay too long in the Safe Zone, you might only exist for a bit over three hundred years... anyway, it's highly unlikely to last more than four hundred years."

"After four hundred years, there might only be ruins left."

"For a civilization, four hundred years is very short, almost like the blink of an eye... If we leave the Safe Zone, expanding it to forty thousand years, that's a significantly long period of time."

"So, this matter requires everyone to make their own choices."

"The outside world is terrifying, encountering powerful monsters could mean possible extinction at any moment."

"But choosing comfort will eventually lead to extinction as well."

Lu Yuan thought of the final outcome of the Meida Civilization and sighed internally.

Civilization is composed of individuals.

And where there are individuals, there are private interests.

Personal interests often conflict with the interests of civilization.

Therefore, it's tough to steadfastly walk down the path, even knowing it's the right one.

This feeling of being willing but powerless, it's like the cycle of dynasties.

Did the ancients know about the cycle law?

Obviously, they did.

Were the ancients intelligent? Were not those who stood at the top of the pyramids wise? Were they not shrewd?

But even the shrewdest couldn't control the direction of civilization; dynasties eventually fell, and those smartest of the smart were beheaded one after another.

Therefore, a civilization is not the same as an individual; a civilization is not rational, and its development follows its own laws.

...

But for Lu Yuan, he had already occupied the moral high ground.

He had done everything he could. What became of humanity was not something he could decide. Even if it perished, it wouldn't be his fault!

This was the spirit of great internationalism!

Touching his chin, Lu Yuan couldn't help wondering if he was being overly noble?

With this speech, nabbing this year's Nobel Peace Prize wouldn't be an issue, right? (Although that prize doesn't exist anymore, not important.)

"Oh, right, there's also a fourth option—the various technological materials left by the Meida Civilization, tons of them, probably around a hundred thousand."

"They can't be considered a particularly powerful civilization. Since arriving on the Pangu Continent, their physical research almost came to a halt. But in the field of supernatural science, they still accumulated quite a bit."

"However, my own level of knowledge is limited, and I can't figure out which papers are important and which are not."

"Most of the knowledge is beyond me; I can only pass the papers in front of the camera for you all to translate..."

"So, my fellow humans, option one, two, three, or four—which one do you prioritize? As the 18th branch of human civilization, I gratuitously offer these to everyone, no need to be shy!"

Having said all this in one breath, Lu Yuan looked forward to the reaction of humanity.

He felt like he was the amiable river god: my boys, golden axe, silver axe, copper axe, iron axe—which one would you like?

What, you want them all?

If I'm not too busy... I might consider it.

But first, I have to deal with that demon... dammit, there's a donkey-headed monster staring at me, which suddenly makes Lu Yuan feel a bit annoyed.

...

...

...

In Yunhai City, at the Supernatural Laboratory.

The large conference room, bustling with excitement and discussion from hundreds of experts, was as noisy as a marketplace!

Four options were laid out before the people!

This was the benefit of making contact with Lu Yuan!

The other cities were also in an uproar; Lu Yuan had just given a hint of information, enough to provoke profound speculation...

Even the true nature of the Extraordinary Spark had been explained.

This information was extremely important!

"The Extraordinary Spark..."

"An ability that can be cultivated and spread!"

"With this information, we're ahead of other civilizations!"

"Quick, check the database, has anyone reported a similar ability?" Li Chunhong, the top leader of Yunhai City, said excitedly as he banged the table with red cheeks.

"Hahaha, no need to search, I know who possesses the Extraordinary Spark!!" An exuberant smile spread across a colonel's face as he thumped the table hard, "Just three days ago, when we first entered the Pangu Continent, a lad from the seventh platoon awakened an ability resembling a little flame."

"This little flame hides in his mind, seemingly useless, only visible when focusing intently on meditation... So it turns out to be an Extraordinary Spark!"

Li Chunhong immediately ordered, "Protect him and at the same time, think of a way to spread the Spark!"

"Also look for other potential Extraordinary Sparks, and do it fast."

"This is very important, it must be the top priority."

"Indeed, I have a feeling that the spread of the Extraordinary Spark is related to some civilization milestones," said Professor Zhang Hui, head of the laboratory, nodding. "Like spreading it to a hundred thousand, two hundred thousand, and so on... Exponential growth is actually quite fast."

The colonel frowned slightly, "It might not be that quick; you probably need to cultivate the Spark to a certain level before you can spread it... That seventh platoon lad's Spark is kind of weak now, it's miles away from Lu Yuan's Spark. How can he spread it?"

Li Chunhong paused, lost in thought, "Then allocate some extra resources. The lab should still have some supernatural resources, right? Speed up his cultivation. Wouldn't that work, or perhaps give him a peach to eat?"

Professor Zhang Hui immediately looked troubled, "Mr. Li, even the resources we have in the lab are limited. If we use those, shall we stop doing experiments?"

"Mr. Li, we can't do that. Wasn't the first peach supposed to be used as medicine?"

Li Chunhong was caught between a rock and a hard place...

What's more important? The widespread cultivation of the Extraordinary Spark, supernatural experiments, or the lives of patients?

It was indeed a difficult choice.

...

Not only in Yunhai City—leaders in other cities also debated the miraculous ability of the "Extraordinary Spark."

An ability to cultivate, to pass on and strengthen others, and even extend lifespans.

Who wouldn't want that?

It was truly the most important ability within a civilization!

Unfortunately, not every city had the same control over its citizens.

In some cities, the populace did report their abilities proactively.

In many cities, riots were erupting, and those with the "Extraordinary Spark" kept it a secret, hiding at home.

Others were more concerned about their privacy rights and didn't trust the government; they trusted the guns in their hands more.

In such circumstances, it wasn't easy to isolate the Extraordinary Spark from the general population.
