Chapter 91: Chapter 88 The Law of Constant Smile (4K words)
The myriad forms of life, the thousands of cities, "God" remains unwavering in His black humor.
Or perhaps it can be understood... "God" doesn't care.
"God" has no morals, no stance; He doesn't care who is right or wrong.
To "God," the morals of humans, the lives of humans, are but as insignificant as dust.
As for how to survive after arriving on the Pangu Continent?
That's something the local humans should consider for themselves.
Extinction is just the norm.
In the world, there is no "God loves all".
...
For most human cities, having the information provided by Lu Yuan was already a stroke of great fortune; they avoided many detours.
Many other civilizations actually had no extra information and could only rely on their own abilities.
In a Safe Zone, atop a kilometer-high tower, a group of octopus-shaped lifeforms were engaged in a heated debate.
They were observing the outside world through technological means.
Their civilization was technologically powerful, socially stable, and had completed four Milestones; they could only be described as being "far ahead".
And of course, the most intense debate was naturally: "God—what is He?"
They questioned the purpose of "God"...
Questioned the so-called "Milestone rewards"!
They even questioned what the Safe Zones truly were.
...
There were also civilizations that had no technology, who were in a feudal or even slave era.
The members of these civilizations were uncivilized, lacking in knowledge; they couldn't grasp the concepts of "Safe Zone" or "voting." For some, their voting was a matter of curiosity, a random act.
Others began to worship deities, believing the Pangu Continent was the domain of the spirits and that going out was a good thing.
And the local rulers lacked the means to rapidly suppress panic.
So, with random voting, the vote count quickly approached the 50% divide.
...
The stories that happen in the world are always so bizarre.
The more powerful the civilization, the more cautious they are, and thus they cannot achieve the Milestone of "marching towards the Pangu Continent".
Of course, these civilizations don't really care about such paltry rewards.
Instead, it's the poorest and weakest civilizations, those who hadn't even spread the Extraordinary Spark, who were the first to abolish the Safe Zone and step towards the Pangu Continent.
Perhaps they'll be extinct soon; even a Fire Lizard could annihilate a city.
Or perhaps, through incredible luck, they will find their own opportunities...
The trees are still silently growing, and the time of the Ninth Epoch has just begun.
A hundred years later, there are a few more skeletons.
A thousand years later, there's a bit more history.
After ten thousand years, there's a bit more myth.
And who knows what the final outcome will be?
...
...
Lu Yuan, for one, doesn't know about these messy affairs; he slept very soundly!
He slept for a full 32 hours and more.
"Hoo—The end of the era?"
He slowly opened his eyes, a familiar environment, a room full of safety, brought on an inexplicable sense of happiness.
"Dreamed I became a Daluo Golden Immortal, one slap taking out hundreds of civilizations... damn, so cool!"
He shook his head vigorously, and then his thoughts returned to reality as he groaned in pain, "Ouch, ouch."
Every inch of his skin was painfully hot, like countless steel needles poking his skin's surface without respite.
A down-and-out warrior, no matter how great, still can't receive help from a nurse; he could only treat himself.
He took out a mutated aloe from the Storage Space, plucked a leaf, smeared the gel on his wounds, and then swallowed a blue pill.
After drinking several sips of water, he finally felt a little more comfortable.
He looked over at the Black Gems in the fireplace, but there seemed to be no activity.
"Dada Dada"—the metal little round ball noticed he was awake, bounced twice as if to say hello.
"Hello, comrade; looks like nothing major happened."
The damned Old Wolf, no idea where it had run off to.
He had specifically told it to guard well, and yet it was such an ingrate!
"Three days without beating, and it comes to this."
Lu Yuan, with only one hand, patted his belly and walked out of the room.
From the stove, he drew a bit of flame.
Then he took out the mutated chili pepper and started stir-frying the Fire Lizard Meat.
Because the Identification results of the chili stated that it was beneficial for wound recovery and bacterial resistance, he no longer cared about dietary restrictions.
"I've been looking forward to this bite, damn it."
Nearly a year of wilderness survival, the Extraordinary Ingredients Lu Yuan liked the least were actually wild animal meats.
Like the meat of the Fire Lizard, he still had over a thousand pounds left! So what if it's high energy, he just didn't enjoy it!
There's also boar meat, deer meat, without castration, they just embody a nasty stench.
So, he usually ate chicken and fish to supplement his protein.
But with chili pepper, it's completely different; the nasty stench becomes wild flavor.
All the delicacies of the world are in my hands!
"Stir-fried Fire Lizard Meat with chili pepper, wonder how it tastes."
Soon, smelling the unique fragrance of the Extraordinary Ingredients, the little wolf cubs came running over in droves.
The little guys always recover the fastest, especially under the nourishment of Rare Level·Pomegranate, in just two days, these rascals were hopping around vigorously.
"Howl! Howl!"
They urged Lu Yuan on the side, indicating they wanted to taste it.
"It's not that I'm evil, you were the ones who let me use the 'laugh to distract law'."
A few of the little wolves, cutely fierce, bit onto Lu Yuan's trouser leg, looking forward with great anticipation.
The little fluffballs were crazily begging, their watery eyes gazing at Lu Yuan.
