18: Please settle your account in a civilized manner!

Silence!

After destruction!

A dead silence!

Lu Chen sat on the sofa, his forehead covered in sweat: "Exciting, truly exciting, I almost went too far, but thankfully, it succeeded!"

A full ten minutes passed!

Hmm?

Lu Chen realized something was wrong: What's going on! Where's the settlement!

Where's the civilization settlement!

I've exhausted all the heavenly dao energy, the entire Small World is in ashes, why hasn't it settled yet!

Discovering that there was no settlement yet.

Lu Chen suddenly remembered: "The Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor! This place hasn't been destroyed yet!"

He hadn't expected the defenses of the Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor to be so abnormal; it still existed after a world-destroying strike.

Lu Chen locked onto the Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor ten thousand meters below and casually threw a punch.

He struck towards the Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor.

Instantly, the ten-thousand-meter-thick ground was easily pierced like tofu, earth and stone splattered, forming a black hole that extended deep into the tomb.

Detecting an external invasion, millions of Soul Transformation Stage terracotta army were instantly activated.

They awakened, raised their weapons, and formed a solid defense line.

"Overestimating yourselves!" Lu Chen extended a finger and flicked it lightly.

"Puff, puff, puff..." Millions of terracotta army shattered under the impact of this power, turning into countless fragments of pottery scattered across the ground.

Lu Chen tore through layer after layer of traps, his consciousness finally reaching the deepest part of the imperial tomb.

A floating coffin hung in the center, enveloped by an eerie, ghostly light!

Hadn't Emperor Qin been killed by him? Why was this coffin emitting such strange energy!

Lu Chen activated his Heavenly Dao consciousness, attempting to investigate.

【Congratulations, you have discovered the ultimate hidden reward of this cultivation world template】

What the hell?

Lu Chen was dumbfounded?!

A broken coffin? The ultimate hidden reward!

This template was left by the first Heavenly Dao owner, and each subsequent owner modified it.

Lu Chen also made many modifications, adding popular cultivation world novel protagonists, plot points, and melodramatic storylines to the template, so that more interesting characters could be born, increasing the settlement rewards.

Lu Chen tried to open it but found he couldn't.

【This is an ultimate reward, only accessible at Heavenly Dao Rank Ten】

Heavenly Dao Rank Ten??

A chill ran down Lu Chen's spine as he thought of a conspiracy theory.

"Could it be that the first host isn't dead at all, and just wants to use me to upgrade the System, then harvest me??!"

The System's mechanical voice sounded: "No, a host can only pass on the Legacy to the next when he dies. This System has no need to deceive you."

Lu Chen let out a slight sigh of relief, but the doubts in his heart remained undiminished.

What is this ultimate reward?

Why didn't the previous hosts open it??

Could it be a trap?

It seems all these mysteries can only be unraveled when he reaches Heavenly Dao Rank Ten!

To prevent it from being found by the next civilization, Lu Chen pressed down with five fingers!

Like the Five Finger Mountain.

He pressed the entire imperial tomb, along with the floating coffin, deep into the ground, sinking it a full five million meters!

No one should be able to find it now.

Lu Chen was still not at ease. He adjusted the world template and applied his own Seal Law outside the coffin.

This way, future civilizations would find it very difficult to locate this place.

At the same time, Lu Chen finally had his first major goal: he must quickly raise his Heavenly Dao Rank, open this coffin, and see what secrets it truly held!

After doing all this, finally!

The pleasant System celebration sound popped up.

【World Annihilation Settlement】

【World ID: Civilization Five (Spirit-Mech cultivation world)】

【Survival Duration: 1500 years (Real World 1 day 12 hours 1 minute 1.2 seconds)】

【Civilization Index: 10.67 (Civilization Coefficient 3.5 + Cultivation Coefficient 4.0 + Wonders 2 + Technology 0.7 etc. (Click for details))】

【This reward for World Annihilation Energy: 1067 (Civilization Index) + 560 (Danger Index 560%) + 200 (Wonders -- Great Wall, Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor) + 1300 (Special Events) = 3127】 (Click for details)

Holy cow? Holy cow! Holy cow!!!

This was like the First Emperor of Qin touching an electric wire, winning big!

Haha!

Lu Chen never dreamed he would get so much energy!

You know, the previous civilization only harvested 107 energy, this time it was a full 30 times more!

It seems he was too conservative before.

The greater the risk, the greater the reward!

Lu Chen quickly clicked on the details of the Civilization Index.

Civilization Coefficient (3.5)

Spirit-Mech Technology Revolution (1.2), developed 'ling shu core', floating boats, great void sky patrol shuttle (space-folding main cannon), nine heavens thunder cannon (Law-level attack), the Fusion of technology and cultivation broke through the System's initial template.

Territory and Productivity (1.0)

Governing area covered 90% of the Great World, including 64 floating immortal cities, 5 cross-dimensional Spiritual Veins, population exceeded 1 billion, spiritual mine extraction rate reached 70%.

Civilization Legacy and Symbols (1.3)

Created institutional symbols such as 'loyalty to qin seal' and 'Nine-Year Compulsory Profound Arts', achieving a 'Cultivate - Loyalty - Produce' closed loop, social cohesion reached 95%.

Cultivation Coefficient (4.0)

Realm scale explosion: tens of millions of Soul Transformation Stage, hundreds of thousands of Ascension Realm, 100 times the System's expected upper limit.

Realm Breakthrough Innovation (1.5)

Emperor Qin broke through to the God-Man Realm (first System record), his Physical Body assimilated Divine Power, allowing him to briefly control space Law, triggering a 'Heavenly Dao Template Forced Update', adding 3 high-tier Realm entries for subsequent civilizations.

There was also a long string of detailed analysis after that, but Lu Chen quickly scanned it and closed it.

He clicked on the Special Events details.

First time reaching the God-Man Realm (400 points)

First time host was injured (300 points)

Cross-dimensional weapon Ling Shu Nuclear Bomb appeared (300 points)

Lin Fei's dimensional interference disturbance (300 points)

Ridiculous! A scratch on his finger gave him an extra 300 points of energy. If he broke a finger, wouldn't that be 30,000?

Lin Fei, this Transmigrator, also added 300 points. If he caught ten Transmigrators, wouldn't that be 3,000?

A hundred would be 30,000? He could reach max Heavenly Dao Rank directly!

In fact, Lu Chen had an even bolder idea: to package the entire Small World as a game, then recruit internal beta players, trick them into a remote location, then drug them all, thus allowing them all to Transmigrate into the Small World.

Of course, this was just a concept.

At least for now, he couldn't do this. One Lin Fei almost destroyed Earth; if there were a hundred Lin Feis, wouldn't that turn everything upside down!

Congratulations, host! heavenly dao energy is full at 1000, Heavenly Dao Rank has increased to Rank 2! You have gained a new function -- Heavenly Dao Entry!

When the host creates a civilization, 1-3 negative or beneficial entries will be randomly generated!

For example, this settlement reward increases by 200% entry;

The lifespan of all life in this civilization increases tenfold;

A misty Forbidden Ground will randomly descend every 100 years, and so on.

Oh my! This is interesting! This means that all future created worlds will have a certain randomness, making them more challenging and risky.

heavenly dao energy is full at 3000, Heavenly Dao Rank has increased to Rank 3!

You have gained a new ability -- Incarnation!

The host can create an Incarnation in the Small World to observe the Small World from a first-person perspective;

Please note, you can only observe, not control;

The Realm, Magical Artifacts, items, etc., obtained by the Incarnation in the Small World will be settled separately upon the Incarnation's death.

The host can obtain one ten-thousandth of the Incarnation's Realm, extracted to reality;

If you're lucky, you might even bring out one Magical Artifact or item from the Incarnation;

Attention!

You cannot use the heavenly dao system to help the Incarnation, otherwise you will not inherit the Incarnation's cultivation or items.

His scalp tingled! Lu Chen excitedly clenched his fists!

Haha!

He finally got it!

No matter how awesome he was in the Small World, in reality, he was just an ordinary person.

But now, he only needed his Incarnation to Cultivate in the Small World, and he could obtain one ten-thousandth of the Incarnation's true cultivation!

Don't underestimate one ten-thousandth.

Even if he cultivated to the Soul Transformation Stage, one ten-thousandth of that cultivation would be enough to make Lu Chen invincible in reality!

Lu Chen was already impatient to create the next civilization!

Beep beep beep!

Just then, the phone rang.

Caller ID: Lin Wan.

Lu Chen guessed that it was very likely that since he had killed Lin Fei in the cultivation world, Lin Fei had completely died in reality.

Mentally prepared, Lu Chen answered the phone.

Who knew—

"He's awake! My brother is awake!!!"
