Chapter 398: Territory Trait, World·Civilization
Chapter 398: Territory Trait, World·Civilization
Time flew by, and another decade passed. The last stronghold of martial artists, the Martial Alliance, had long since fallen, and the extraordinary seemed to have vanished from this world.
If it weren't for the gradually reviving secret spiritual forces in various regions, Qin Muye would have almost forgotten that this world once had the presence of the extraordinary. Unfortunately, with the lineages severed, there was no hope of further development.
After all, the extraordinary in this world did not originate from human development but was stolen and spread from the World Children. Now that everything was under control, there was no longer any way to counter it.
Over the past decade, the Federation underwent tremendous changes, completely transforming into a modern society. The old ways had long since faded into the past, and even the memory of the extraordinary had become blurry. Only those who had experienced it occasionally mentioned martial arts schools or some secretive secret spiritual masters.
Even the Grand Chancellor, who had once been determined to take over the Umbrella Corporation, had stepped down. He no longer had the ambitious drive he once had, and many things no longer mattered to him.
Of course, even if he couldn't let go, it didn't matter because power was no longer in his hands, and he had no way to resist.
He had struggled for a while, but the power transition in the Senate was too brutal, and he eventually had to compromise.
He had compromised many times in his life, and one more time didn't make much of a difference. At least now he lived a comfortable life.
Qin Muye had been busy all along, whether it was perfecting the World Child Plan, researching the aura of the powerful on his body, or transforming the divine artifacts into territory traits. He had initially thought it would take a couple of months, but unexpectedly, another decade had passed.
He hadn't noticed the passage of time at all, and it wasn't until he realized it that he found himself in the present.
The World Child Plan had been fully formed, and after eliminating numerous potential risks, he was now ready to proceed with the absorption plan.
He had also found the Heavenly Will Blade, and he would use World·Civilization. Once it became a territory trait, everything would be fine.
"It's been a long time, hasn't it? I remember the last time we met was about two years ago?" World·Civilization lay lazily in his cell, living a comfortable life. Apart from being restricted, he could have whatever he wanted, and the decade of ease had almost dulled his spirit.
But his intelligence remained sharp. He knew that this time, he was probably going to die, and he wasn't afraid of death.
"Yes, it has been two years. To be honest, I was so busy that I almost forgot about you," Qin Muye said with a self-deprecating laugh.
It was true. Although Qin Muye had created a series of plans around the World Children, he had almost forgotten about the core World Child because, during this process, there was no place for him. He just needed to wait for his death, and Qin Muye would take care of everything.
"So, my time has come? You are the most peculiar existence I've ever seen. It's a pity you're not human; otherwise, we might have become friends," World·Civilization sighed. "Oh, I hope the next time I open my eyes, I don't see your ecological simulation chamber. After all, my body was quite large when I was born."
"Sure, I'll keep that in mind," Qin Muye nodded, indicating that they would meet again.
He didn't say that there would be no next time, considering they had spent a decade together, and he could be considered a sort of comrade.
World·Civilization had been very obedient over the years, unlike others who initially tried to escape.
Soon, World·Civilization was escorted out of the cell. He took a deep breath, even though he didn't need to breathe, he did it anyway.
"The air is still filled with Abyssal power. The cell was better; I thought it would be fresher out here," World·Civilization commented.
"To ensure the safety of the prisoners, the Abyssal power in the cells is almost non-existent. The environment outside is actually more harsh," Qin Muye explained.
The two of them chatted like old friends, and they soon arrived at a special facility.
"What experiment is this time? Data collection or structural analysis?" World·Civilization joked.
"Neither. I'm sending you back. I need the arrangement data of other World Children. I want to see how many types of World Children there can be. After all, I find your forms very interesting."
Qin Muye teased.
The World Children did not have sensations like pain, which was why they could be so nonchalant. Otherwise, if a life form with pain sensations were in their place, they would have been spitting at Qin Muye's face.
"That's truly terrible," World·Civilization did not sense anything amiss, and proceeded straight into the device. Qin Muye stood outside, silently watching. This time, it had to be him; otherwise, there was no guarantee of success. He had brought his body back here for this very purpose, though the ten-year wait was a bit awkward.
The device quickly activated. The first step in artificially creating a territory trait was to insert the necessary components.
Previously, Qin Muye had artificially created territory traits to strengthen his territory, but now it was different. This time, it was more about eroding the privileges of The Lord of the Epoch and diluting the other party's share.
This was the key; otherwise, no matter how strong the territory became, it would be meaningless if it wasn't his own.
Other lords might not have realized this yet, as their paths differed from Qin Muye's. Qin Muye's approach was more akin to the unity of heaven and humanity, while they followed traditional management strategies, thus viewing the territory differently.
Everything was ready. Qin Muye shed the Xuanjun shell, and a massive black abyss appeared, enveloping the entire territory in a terrifying wave of mana.
"This is truly spectacular. How such a vast existence could fit into such a small body is truly..." World·Civilization's words trailed off as he felt his consciousness becoming hazy, his thoughts slowing down, as if everything was moving in slow motion.
"He wants to... fuse... with me..."
This thought slowly formed in his mind, but it was too late. He had already fallen into the abyssal body of the other.
Countless waves of mana began to erode him, rapidly assimilating him.
The entire history of civilization unfolded before Qin Muye's eyes, from human evolution to obtaining the first spark, then worshiping the World Children to gain extraordinary powers, and finally the scenes of stolen power from lifeless bodies.
"Survival of the fittest, truly a brutal scene. This is the first step of civilization."
The truth as narrated by the World Child was far less impactful than witnessing it firsthand. The means of achieving great ends, though despicable, were considered wisdom in the context of civilization. Even if it was a conspiracy, it was not shameful for the sake of survival.
From that moment on, the World Child exited the stage of the world, and human progress surged forward.
World·Civilization had guessed wrong. Qin Muye was not just fusing with him but also with the world's core, which was civilization itself.
As this force merged, his power began to expand exponentially, a qualitative leap rather than a quantitative increase.
If this process was successful, Qin Muye's true strength would reach the 8th stage, and the tier system of The Lord of the Epoch would no longer be able to constrain him.
The entire civilization was absorbed into his body, and the entire federal society plunged into great turmoil. This was not just a regression but a complete collapse of civilization.
Technology might still exist, but it would never advance.
Curiosity gradually faded, ambitions dissipated, and even the original conflicts were gradually replaced by complacency.
But for Qin Muye, this was good news because humanity still existed.
A vast amount of chaos began to emanate from Qin Muye's abyssal body as he began to create the territory trait.
The material naturally came from the civilization now integrated into him, a part of him.
The process was efficient, as he had prepared for a decade, and there was no room for error, as this was a crucial part of his plan to destroy the world.
A new territory trait gradually formed, becoming an unnamed force, a part of the endless abyss.
Qin Muye's body shrank, returning to the Xuanjun shell. This time, his gains were immense!
World·Civilization: The spirit of a world is the great civilization.
