Chapter 1368: The Threshold of Degradation

Translator: EndlessFantasy TranslationEditor: EndlessFantasy Translation

With the help of the spirit magnet, the golden era of the Turan civilization began!

Countless mandrake tree roots dug deep into the earth, providing fuel for the rise of the civilization.

Countless mandrake trees rose from the ground, turning into the skeletons of fortresses and towns under the ingenious guidance of designers and architects.

Almost overnight, numerous settlements appeared on the surface of Picturesque Orchid Lake like bamboo shoots after the rain.

Of course, there were also tens of thousands of Turan warriors wearing spirit magnetic armor and charging toward the raging beast horde.

Oh, the word “wearing” was not accurate.

The spirit magnetic armor not only covered the skin of the Turan warriors, but it also penetrated deep into their flesh and blood. It stimulated their cells and constantly released powerful energy like a volcanic eruption. It allowed them to fight against monsters that were three to five times larger than

them, or even more than ten times larger than them. With their absolute advantage, they would become the new masters of the land!

The more accurate term than “wearing” was “breeding.” There was a magical symbiotic relationship between the ancient Turan people and the spirit magnets.

Soon, the Turan people began to expand their territory, expanding their sphere of influence to the entire Turan River basin.

Until they hit the wall of Mist created by the spatial ripples, they were temporarily unable to expand outward.

Most of the monsters in Picturesque Orchid Lake were either destroyed and tamed by the Turan people or forced to migrate to the depths of Tusk Mountain Range in the mountains. Today, ten thousand years later, the tusk mountain range that the Turan people spoke of, only then did it become the

Monster Mountain Range that the people of Dragon City were currently living in.

‘The mandrake tree had taken root and sprouted in every corner of Picturesque Orchid Lake. It extracted spiritual energy from the underground and brought vitality to the Turan civilization. It provided a solid material foundation for the population of the Turan civilization to grow explosively.

Even the underground bubble where “that piece of meat” was located had been cleared by the Turan people. The passage from the bubble to the hope was opened, and a large number of experimental equipment and supercomputers were moved down to revolve around ‘that piece of meat’, they set up a

cutting-edge biochemical research center to try to understand more about ‘that piece of meat’.

Right, the researchers of the ancient Turan civilization even gave “that piece of meat” a code name.

The “original mother.”

They felt that “that piece of meat” was like the mother of the Earth in the legends. She generously gave the dying Turan people a second life.

At first glance, the newly born Turan civilization was thriving and had endless potential. It was about to reach the peak and even surpass the glory of the mother planet.

However, just when all the ancient Turan people were full of expectation for the future, full of confidence in their own civilization, and full of confidence in the fact that the mist would sweep over the entire planet once it dispersed, something unexpected happened.

A “little” accident happened.

The mandrake tree began to grow uncontrollably.

This artificial plant, which was born in a biochemical laboratory and had been genetically modified, should be firmly monitored by the Turans at every stage of its life.

But the spirit magnet had the ability to bombard the gene chain and stimulate cell mutation.

It was not only animal cells that were stimulated.

It also included the plant cells that made up the mandrake tree.

After being stimulated, the mandrake tree, after thousands of cell division and evolution, finally gave birth to a brand new seed of life.

It was a very light and fluffy spore.

It could float with the wind like a dandelion.

No matter where it floated to, even if it was a barren land, it could grow into a fluffy mycelium deep in the dry land.

The mycelium would turn into a cluster of mycelium, which would then condense into a colony. The colony would greedily and keenly search for underground water sources and spirit veins, not sparing a single drop of energy.

Ina few years, the originally barren land would tum into a lush sea of mandrake trees.

The mandrake trees would bear fragrant mandrake fruits with abundant spirit energy, as well as accompanying plants that were rich in rare metals and trace elements.

Logically speaking, that should not be a bad thing.

The mandala tree was an economic and food crop that was beneficial to the Turan people in every aspect.

The problem was that the mandrake tree, which contained large amounts of spirit energy and spirit magnets, was beneficial to the Turan people as well as monsters.

Although the Turan civilization had entered the golden era, they had just landed on another world not long ago.

They had yet to fully recover from the super strong impact caused by transmigration.

The population of the Turan civilization was still severely lacking.

Even if everyone was doing their best, it was impossible for their population to expand tenfold or a hundred times in just a few decades, to the extent that they could occupy every corner of Picturesque Orchid Lake and monitor and utilize every mandrake tree.

Therefore, in the corners that the Turan people could not reach, there were always many fleeing, hungry, and desperate monsters that would break into the shade of the mandrake tree and smell the fragrance of the mandrake fruit, they found that the branches, leaves, and petals of the accompanying

plants were shining with a dazzling metallic light.

These monsters unceremoniously swallowed a large number of mandrake fruits and accompanying plants.

Some of the monsters could not withstand the massive amount of spirit power and spirit magnets rampaging inside their bodies. From the cellular level to the genetic level, they underwent rebirth and rebirth.

They all exploded and died, or because the water in their bodies had evaporated completely, turning into dry corpses that were shrouded in smoke.

However, there were still many monsters, just like the exploration team member back then, who forcefully withstood the drastic changes.

Their flesh and blood had been implanted and strengthened by the spirit magnets.

Every cell was filled with violent and unparalleled spirit energy.

Their organs had become stronger and more efficient under the cover of the spirit magnets.

Even their skin had grown a layer of shining silver shells that were as tough as an exoskeleton.

Just like that, they had gone from pure flesh and blood to totem beasts and even Fusion Beasts that were half-flesh and half-metal.

The Turan people who thought that they had chased away the monsters and conquered thousands of miles of fertile soil. When countless totem beasts formed an overwhelming tide of metal beasts and reappeared in front of the surface towns that had just been built by the Turan people, the hopeful smile

on their faces did not even have the time to freeze.

A brand-new war broke out in a manner that was ten times crueler than before.

“Could it be that the appearance of the totem beasts led to the collapse of the Turan civilization?” Meng Chao could not help but exclaim.

It turned out that the Turan civilization had faced their Monster War before.

Moreover, under the catalysis of the spirit magnet, the Monster War of the Turan civilization seemed to be ten times more brutal and more tragic than the version that the people of Dragon City were facing!

“It’s not.”

Unexpectedly, the voice denied Meng Chao’s guess. “Although the totem beasts are ferocious, they are not enough to destroy the Turan civilization again.

“After all, the Turan civilization still controls most of the mandrake trees. Moreover, we came into contact with the spirit magnets earlier than the totem beasts, so our research on the spirit magnets is more comprehensive and profound.

“Most of the spirit magnets were created by us. The spirit magnets that the monsters absorbed through the mandrake trees could not be more powerful than they were.

“Therefore, even though the totem beasts are numerous and aggressive, they have brought too many losses and troubles to us in the prolonged war.

“However, the foundation of the Turan civilization has not been shaken.

“The advantage and initiative are still in our hands.

“Many of us have been sharpening our ability to manipulate spirit energy and spirit magnets in the war, activating new features of evolution and mutation, and becoming increasingly strong.

“Everyone firmly believes that even if the monster war will last another hundred or even five hundred years, the final victory will definitely belong to the Turan people.

“In fact, many heroes who had performed meritorious deeds in the war were on the verge of death or life. They had experienced the stimulation of the cells by the spiritual magnets and the release of endless power. The unexplainable pleasure of the heroes did not wish for the war to end so quickly.

“The Turan civilization that migrated to Picturesque Orchid Lake was like a saber that had just been reforged.

“The totem beast was like a rough whetstone.

“We can’t wait for this whetstone to be stronger so that we can sharpen this battle blade of the Turan civilization!”

Meng Chao scratched his head.

It made sense. If the Turan people had followed the path of the Neanderthals on Earth, their individual combat strength should be stronger than the humans on earth who were modern homo sapiens.

Moreover, they had also obtained the mother’s fragment that was still in the state of hibernation and recovery.

Indeed, there was no reason to be afraid of totem beasts.

Then, Meng Chao did not understand.

Since the situation was so good, how could the Turan civilization continue to deteriorate and walk step by step to the brink of collapse?

“Collapse did not happen overnight. At that time, no one realized that we were deteriorating.”

The voice was extremely sad. “Even when we had broken through the threshold of degradation and were about to plunge into the abyss, the heroic heroes and the wise leaders all thought that we were stronger than before!

“We did not lose the Monster War.

“Instead, we won one glorious, heroic, and unrestrained victory after another, which was enough to be sung in epic poems for ten thousand years.

“However, this long-drawn-out war was indeed imperceptibly infiltrating, eroding, and changing our civilization in a very secretive and terrifying way.

“The first to change was our profession or class.

“The class of warriors in the Turan civilization has greatly increased.

“It should be known that when our civilization was still riding the hope in the sea of stars, fighting against interstellar dust, cosmic radiation, lack of resources, and claustrophobia, there were almost no warriors on the ship.

“At that time, the largest number of people on the hope were the builders, repairmen, and harvesters.

“The most arduous and soul-stirring battle that we were about to engage in was to withstand the deadly radiation and the bombardment of high-energy particles, climb onto the Hope’s outer shell, manipulate the ‘supermagnet,’ and repair the armor that was riddled with holes..”
