Volume 5: The Ancient Glorious Empire Chapter 70 Today's Blue Star
Boom boom
The calm sea surface began to boil, the whole world was shaking, and the crystal wall spread outward at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The new continent rose up on the other side of the ocean. It was bare at first, but soon the mountains and rivers began to change and expand, as if a pair of giant hands from the Creator were processing the world, making the new continent full of vitality in just a few days.
The rivers are mighty, the ancient trees are verdant, and the mountains are either as long as waves or as tall as sword edges.
The sun, moon, and stars hanging high in the sky rotated at a speed dozens or hundreds of times faster than usual. The sun rose, the sun set, and the stars filled the night sky... the passage of time seemed to have been accelerated hundreds of times.
The old continent is also undergoing earth-shaking changes.
The only thing that hasn't changed is probably the base suspended in the air... no, the city in the sky.
This is the secret realm of Xinhuo.
Fang You quickly used the world's strange stones and secret realm stones obtained from the central trial ground on Blue Star and Xinhuo Secret Realm.
The investment of more than one hundred secret stones;
The promotion brought by several rounds of expansion of Blue Star;
The huge accumulation required to upgrade the Xinhuo Secret Realm from LV6 to LV7 was finally met, and the secret realm was promoted, and earth-shaking changes began.
This change lasted for several days.
Fang You has the deepest understanding.
His vision, perception and the secret realm are closely connected. As the secret realm advances, he seems to have become the creator with omnipotent power.
"This is definitely an illusion, but this ability to create is not an illusion. It just seems a little profound."
He pondered, his mind spread out, and his thoughts swept across the Xinhuo Secret Realm at this moment.
The LV7 Xinhuo Secret Realm is not so suitable to be called a "secret realm". The area here is not inferior to the original Blue Star, and the resources are rich, the world crystal wall is stable, and the vitality is rich, which far exceeds the ordinary world and the advanced world.
The characteristic of the secret realm is that it is small, but small and complete, concentrating countless essences into one.
A secret realm that has been integrated with several secret realm stones and operated for a period of time is almost the same as an ordinary world in terms of status. And the Xinhuo Secret Realm? If we quantify it, the secret realm has integrated hundreds of secret realm stones, and its power is so vast that it is hard to describe.
The status of Blue Star cannot be quantified by level, but with the integration of 5 world stones, the changes that have taken place on Blue Star are equally huge.
Several new continental plates rose.
Even some intelligent life .
There is human life, and also some special fantasy life.
All of these evolved in just a few days or weeks. Compared with the creation of mountains, rivers, and trees, these are truly the power of the Creator.
However, the experience that the changes on Blue Star brought to him was not as deep and clear as the advancement in the secret realm.
After all, he only holds the highest authority on Blue Star.
He looked around the Blue Star.
A few years ago, when Blue Star began to expand and develop new continental plates, the base cities on Blue Star sent out pioneering teams to land on new continents, mine resources, and build cities.
To date, in addition to the original 16 base cities, Blue Star has built a total of 33 base cities.
These base cities are either distributed across the continents of the old blue planet or located along the coasts of the new continent.
However, compared with the vast Blue Planet today, the footprint of human activities seems small. The speed at which the pioneers open up new continents is far slower than the speed at which the land of Blue Planet spreads.
"Other human forces think the oasis is too small, but my Blue Planet is too big and we have too few people to take care of everything. It's a happy trouble."
The Blue Star has a very high status, and the land where it was born is not barren at all.
This place is not like an oasis, with mining sites that can mine unlimited resources, but the situation is somewhat similar to that in the shallow layer of the strange world - the new continent is full of materials and treasures.
Even if this first batch of materials is all mined and excavated, new materials will evolve and emerge from the continents and seas as time goes by.
It just takes longer.
At this time, Blue Star is a super large treasure land, however, only a small part of this treasure land has been opened up.
The Blue Planet has a population of billions. It was a lot before, but now it is too few.
Among them, there are even fewer awakened people who are capable of going out to explore and collect resources.
Over the years, Xinhuo has also saved many small oases that were on the verge of destruction and moved them to a new continent on Blue Star.
The people of the small oasis also participated in the land reclamation project and built their own villages and towns.
However, a small oasis usually has only a few thousand people. Even if a hundred small oases are rescued and relocated, the increase in manpower is still a drop in the bucket.
The purpose of rescue is not about people, but about saving them.
"Billions of people are actually a lot. The reason why land reclamation seems slow is that the time is too short."
"In general, the promotion of Blue Star has brought great long-term benefits. There are also many short-term benefits. For example, as the scale of Blue Star expands, the number and level of evil spirits spawned in the Blue Star world are also increasing."
This is a beneficial thing for the Blue Planet today .
Blue Star lacks a sufficient number of awakened people, and it is impossible to clear out the evil spirits inch by inch. However, Blue Star has strong people who can chase the six-star evil spirits and seven-star evil spirits shown on the map radar, and regularly clean up some areas where evil spirits gather, harvesting a large number of destiny points. This is completely possible.
The income from destiny points is constantly increasing.
…
Blue Star, the sixth continent.
This is the sixth continent born after the promotion of Blue Star, hence its name.
At the northern end of the continent, there stood a towering base city named Kaiyang Base City. Starting from this base city, towns and strongholds spread inland one after another.
However, compared with the vast Sixth Continent, this safe place for humans still only occupies a very small corner.
Further out of the stronghold, there are giant trees that are tens or hundreds of meters high. Their eerie roars can be heard from afar, and wisps of gray fog are floating between the sky and the earth, making the originally lush forest of giant trees look extraordinarily eerie.
The Awakened are not afraid.
This is the most common scene in the mysterious age and the New World.
It is primitive, cold, and rarely visited by people. But this also means that there are countless materials and treasures in the depths of the forest, waiting for pioneers to discover.
Kaiyang Base City, 9th Development Zone, 36th Outpost.
This is the forefront of the base city's radiation range. Further out is the wilderness full of dangers.
This day,
“Woo woo—”
A completely black train, like a giant python several tens of meters long, came from a distance and slowly stopped at the train station at the 36th outpost.
The sun shone down on the train, which was like a giant python, and it shone brightly. But some of the surface coating was slightly mottled, and some places were stained with red, gray, and blue evil blood. There was also a huge evil limb several meters long, hanging somewhere on the train, being dragged along the way, leaving hideous and creepy bloodstains.
This stronghold is the farthest from the base city and the most inland.
Even though it is still within the development zone, to get to this stronghold from Kaiyang Base City, one has to pass through several wilderness areas, and it is not uncommon to encounter strange evil spirits or even strange evil waves.
——Evil things are also growing in the stronghold.
The pioneers were not afraid at all. What they should be afraid of was the evil spirits. Usually when an evil spirit emerged from the evil world and came to this outpost, there would be at least a few awakened ones waiting for it.
The pioneers have already taken to common evil as amusement.
In the outpost, even an ordinary vendor is an awakened one.
The truly safe places are Kaiyang Base City and its four satellite cities, as well as eight fortress towns. The legendary Dawn Lighthouses are built in those places.
Under the protection of the light of dawn, human beings are immune to all evil.
"The train has arrived at the final stop, 'Stronghold Station No. 36'. I wish all the pioneers good luck and a safe return."
The doors of the Winged Serpent-class train opened, and a large number of awakened ones filed out.
Most of them are experienced old pioneers, with bulging backpacks carrying all kinds of equipment, props and medicines needed for outdoor exploration.
They also wore third-generation or fourth-generation combat uniforms and carried white-level and green-level weapons that had also undergone several generations of improvements.
Only a very small number of pioneers were wearing everyday clothes and carrying no bulging backpacks.
These people were either fools or strong men. The latter had already put the supplies and props they needed to carry into their own storage devices.
"A strange storage device..."
There are pioneers who envy.
"I heard that the storage device has been developed to the fourth generation, and the price has dropped by 30%, but it is still completely unaffordable."
"That's right. Usually only non-human bosses can use it."
"After all, the demand for storage-type magic tools is too great, and the materials used are extremely rare. The price cannot really drop to a civilian price. Now there is at least some hope."
"However, compared to the storage device, I hope to be admitted to the training camp. However, it is too difficult. I failed to pass the exam six times."
"Wow, you're awesome, I gave up after taking the test twice, I saw no hope at all."
The end of the universe is the civil service exam.
Most of the wild awakeners dream of entering the training camp. As long as they can go to the training camp for further study, when they come out, they will be absolute big shots in the eyes of their former friends.
Unfortunately, the training camp assessment is too strict.
A young man who had already reached the third level of awakening sighed.
"If we could be born a few years or ten years later, we could enter the youth training camp through junior high school or high school. I heard that the selection criteria for the youth training camp are much more relaxed."
The uncle at the side shook his head and said, "The youth training camp is easier, but it is still like a thousand troops crossing a single-plank bridge."
He paused, "Our current training environment is very favorable. Even if we can't enter the training camp, we can still awaken and become stronger. You have to know that in the past, the first level of awakening was very risky. Awakening was a gamble with your life. It's not like now, where everyone has the opportunity to awaken."
"yes……"
The sighing young man nodded, "But Uncle Yang, you have already broken through to the Fourth Awakening Non-Human, have you ever thought about taking the Adult Training Camp exam? With your ability, Uncle Yang, your chances of passing are very high, right?"
"I am old now, and my irregular awakening in my early years has left some bad roots. Even if I can pass the training camp, I don't have much potential to move forward. The future is left to you young people."
"Besides, my kid is doing well and was admitted to the basic training camp last semester. As a father, I must support him and give him more support."
The uncle surnamed Yang couldn't help but smile when he said this. "In today's environment, being a pioneer is pretty good. Not only does it pay well, but you can also contribute to the country and the Blue Star Alliance."
He patted the sighing young man on the shoulder and said, "Let's go and register with the Pioneer Association first."
The Pioneer Association is the most magnificent and eye-catching building in this stronghold, without a doubt.
There are similar associations throughout the New World.
The Pioneer Association is responsible for organizing and registering pioneers, communicating and issuing tasks, and is also responsible for the recycling of exploration materials.
The Pioneer Association’s recycling price is slightly lower than the market price, but just a little bit lower can save a lot of time and tedious work, and is also safer.
Most pioneers choose to sell materials in bulk directly within the association.
Pioneer is currently the most sought-after profession on Blue Star.
Pioneers are indeed very profitable. Sometimes a pioneer can become rich overnight if he finds epic materials or treasures. But what makes more money is the fire and mentor Fang.
He did not lower the purchase price of the materials; there was no need to do so.
He wished his pioneers could make more money. Once they made enough money, they would update their equipment, buy potions or training items to improve their strength.
After all the twists and turns, wealth still flows in the pockets of Xinhuo.
Xinhuo obtained materials and resources, the strength of the awakeners on Blue Star continued to increase, and dangerous new continents were opened up... This formed a virtuous circle.
Bring out the full value of awakened workers.
“That’s really nice.”
Teacher Fang turned his gaze to several other development base cities and nodded slightly.
This is the Blue Planet of the new era, where everything is positive.
We can't let the evil god destroy it.
His gaze continued forward, sweeping across the uninhabited mountains and ancient forests deep in the New World. He looked for a full hour before he withdrew his gaze with satisfaction.
“The mountains and rivers are beautiful.”
"It is worthy of me to feed so many world stones to this blue star, which grew up little by little."
He thought.
Shen Mind suddenly discovered something and he exclaimed, "Huh?"
"A very vast, but hazy consciousness."
He could not see this consciousness, as if it were just an illusion.
But the invisible connection told him that this vast consciousness really existed.
This is……
"Blue Star Consciousness!"
A high-level world has the opportunity to give birth to world consciousness. Blue Star's status has long been exceeded, but it has only been in the past few years that Blue Star has been promoted to a high-level world.
After several years of gestation, a vague consciousness was finally born.
"The data says that worlds with autonomous consciousness are more capable of resisting external disasters, but the consciousness of most worlds is very vague and has no specific form of existence."
"As for how to communicate with the world consciousness...?"
Sorry, there is no information on this.
Maybe there is no communication at all.
He thought.
The vast and hazy consciousness moved towards him, rubbing against him like a kitten or a puppy, very intimately.
