Chapter 222: The Origin of All Things in the Terrifying Universe
Chapter 222: The Origin of All Things in the Terrifying Universe
A large number of mechanical devices and paper documents were moved back to the floating city. In addition, there were also various spirits exploring different parts of the planet.
Qin Muye was also extremely busy, having to decode, study, and translate various materials. The workload was considerable.
He wanted the other spirits to help, but their efficiency was far behind. Without Qin Muye, the spirits in his territory would just be a bunch of upstarts, with no cultural foundation to speak of, relying entirely on Qin Muye to maintain it.
"Master, we have discovered a lot of resources. Should we stay on this planet for a while?" Black Hand asked.
There were naturally specialized spirit heroes and corresponding troops in the territory for mining.
"Sure, the search must not be interrupted," Qin Muye said.
The home planet of the Iron Blood Civilization had more than just one capital; there were many other cities as well. Qin Muye was not particularly interested in resources; he was more interested in the corresponding knowledge.
"Yes, Master!"
Every spirit in the floating city of the other world was extremely busy, frequently using teleportation magic or hyper-dimensional portals to transport materials from various regions of the planet.
The consumption of resources was no longer a concern; each trip would bring back various documents and literature, with the main challenge being the collection process.
Although he had many spirits under his command, compared to a complete society, they were still far behind. It would take him ten to fifteen days to collect everything, whereas the Wen Kingdom could complete the task in just three to five days.
Moreover, he needed to organize and categorize the materials himself, which was a massive undertaking.
Fortunately, he was no longer the weakling he was in the Wen Kingdom. With such a vast amount of knowledge, he estimated it would take him about half a month to process it, and another ten to fifteen days to study it.
With this batch of knowledge, his floating city in the other world would undergo a qualitative transformation.
In addition to the Iron Blood Civilization, there were also the Pioneer Civilization and the Engineer Civilization, whose technologies Qin Muye was determined to obtain.
However, he would not go there in the short term. He needed to use the existing knowledge to upgrade and transform the floating city first.
It was important to proceed steadily. Once he had developed sufficiently here, he could use the server transfer voucher to go to other servers.
This first time would take longer, but subsequently, it would not be a significant issue, and he could apply similar knowledge to accelerate the learning and transformation process.
While Qin Muye was busy working, he suddenly received a notification from "The Lord's Epoch."
He had earned ten million points.
Only then did he realize that today was the first day of the limited-time event.
The ten million points arrived, and he only glanced at them briefly before ignoring them. For him now, points were just that.
Tomorrow, there would be three special building blueprints to choose from, and the day after, one epic-level blueprint, which would correspond to a divine artifact.
To truly pique his interest, it would have to be the epic-level profession on the fifth day.
Otherwise, even the epic-level artifact on the fourth day wouldn't interest him. After all, he currently only lacked the Ghost King Cloak, Cursed Armor, Heavenly Gifted Divine Weapon, Phantom Bow, Ocean Hat, and Savage Barbarian Lord's Axe.
Collecting all six divine artifacts was quite challenging, and he was particularly interested in the Cursed Armor.
As for exchanging for it, he wanted to, but the points were tight, so he could only wait.
The Cursed Armor could potentially be used like the Titan's Arrow and the hyper-dimensional portal as a large-scale strategic weapon on the floating city in the other world.
As for the others, they were somewhat lacking. The Ocean Hat might be useful, given that his floating city in the other world also included ship-type territories from rich oceans. If it were to rest on the sea surface, it would also provide significant bonuses.
Combined with navigation skills, it could form a more powerful combat force.
However, these were all future considerations. If he could choose two items, he would definitely include the Ocean Hat. If not, he would have to choose the Cursed Armor.
"Hmm~ The origin of life? The Iron Blood Civilization also researches this?"
Qin Muye discovered something interesting in a highly encrypted document that was almost impossible for him to crack. In his memory, the Iron Blood Civilization was always portrayed as barbarians, and a civilization similar to a feudal empire would actually seek its origins.
The Iron Blood Civilization didn't seem to have a sense of righteousness. They couldn't possibly be seeking the origin of life to justify their legitimacy, could they? It seemed unnecessary; a fight would suffice.
Qin Muye began to read after decrypting the document. There was no long preamble; it went straight to the main content.
"God?"
"Are you kidding me?"
As he saw these words, Qin Muye's expression gradually turned serious. He had never imagined that God and the Garden of Eden could have influenced an alien civilization.
From this document, the Iron Blood Civilization had delved deeply into the origins of various species and civilizations, and they had all discovered the presence of the same entity.
All things in the world were created by this entity, whether energy or matter.
Tracing the origin, the Iron Blood Civilization discovered Earth, where humans were still in the primitive age of raw meat and blood drinking, and the horrors of hell were rampant.
But at that time, they believed this to be the abode of the Creator, God. Therefore, every Iron Blood warrior's coming-of-age ceremony was held on Earth, and they were always following in God's footsteps.
Of course, they found it—the Garden of Eden. However, the Garden of Eden had long been closed by then.
"Hold on, let me take a moment. This seems to be the origin of all things." Qin Muye was quite shocked.
"That doesn't make sense. The timeline doesn't match. If hell existed when humans were in the primitive age, how did humans survive?"
"That's even more wrong. The cause and effect are reversed."
Reading through the document, Qin Muye felt his mind becoming chaotic, like the age-old question of which came first, the chicken or the egg?
"Never mind, forget about it. I'm here for the technology, not to seek the origin of life."
Qin Muye quickly put this aside. The waters of the Terrifying Universe were too deep. He used to think he could handle it, but now he realized he couldn't. He should take what he needed and leave as soon as possible, or he might not be able to escape.
"Moreover, according to the records of the Iron Blood Civilization, there were other civilizations before human civilization."
The details were vague, and it seemed the Engineer Civilization had more records.
"The number of civilizations in the universe doesn't seem to be many. The Iron Blood Civilization's records mention only the Engineer Civilization, the Pioneer Empire, and the Arachnis Bug Race."
There were other civilizations, but they were not as significant.
"Indeed, the core of the Terrifying Universe is Earth, not outer space. The focus is more on monsters rather than civilizations."
Qin Muye was familiar with these four space civilizations: the Iron Blood Warriors, the Aliens from the Alien franchise, the Kaiju from Pacific Rim, and the Bugs from Starship Troopers. Currently, only the Iron Blood Warriors and the Aliens had appeared. The other two would likely take hundreds or even thousands of years to emerge, if the plot followed the original timeline.
However, the Terrifying Universe was not a movie universe, and whether it could develop corresponding plots was uncertain.
For example, the Iron Blood Civilization was reportedly destroyed by Jason, the immortal killer from the Crystal Lake series. Qin Muye knew Jason had been to space and had become stronger, but he hadn't expected it to happen so soon and for Jason to be much more powerful than in the original story.
Therefore, the plot didn't matter. Multiple horror and sci-fi elements were intertwined, and it would be strange if they followed the original plot.
Moreover, Qin Muye no longer cared about the plot. It had no use for him. He could directly trade for what he wanted. He had no missions, so why follow the plot?
"The Bug Race can be ignored. Their development is quite peculiar. The Engineer Civilization and the Pioneer Empire are worth a visit, though. I hope they're still around."
The Bug Race was unrelated to the Aliens. The Bugs were a separate race, while the Aliens were the creation of the Engineers, said to be a totemic belief modeled after God, as Qin Muye learned from the Iron Blood Civilization's document on the origin of life.
"Even though I don't know what God looks like, I'm sure God doesn't look like an Alien."
Qin Muye couldn't help but comment on the Engineer Civilization. Even if they hadn't seen God, they should at least be logical.
The Pioneer Empire, on the other hand, had a harsher existence, constantly searching for a suitable planet to migrate to.
