33: Sixth Civilization Settlement

It's over. Lu Chen disliked hearing women cry the most. With a single finger pressed down, Xiao Family Village was destroyed.

The entire civilization ended.

Ding!

A pleasant System sound!

【World Annihilation Settlement】

【World ID】: Civilization No. 6 (Martial Soul World)

【Survival Duration】: 1111 years (Real World 1 day 2 hours 39 minutes 50 seconds)

【Civilization Index】: 3.5 (Civilization Coefficient 0.5 + Cultivation Coefficient 2.0 + Wonder 1.0, and other comprehensive evaluations) (Click for details)

【This Reward Annihilation Energy】: 350 (Civilization Index) + 10000 (Highest Danger Coefficient) + 100 (Wonder — Pyramid) + 2300 (Special Events) = 12750 (Click for details)

What the hell? He didn't see it wrong, did he?! 12750 energy???

This was truly like First Emperor of Qin knocking on the door, a complete victory!

Actually, this Civilization Coefficient was very low, far inferior to the great qin civilization.

But what added the most was the Danger Coefficient.

Click for details.

Heavenly Dao was entrapped, its consciousness sealed within its Incarnation, nearly perishing! Danger Coefficient + 10000%

Just this one item immediately maxed out the coefficient.

Sure enough, the bigger the waves, the more valuable the fish. It was too exciting. Lu Chen even wanted to set a trap for himself next time.

Don't say it, this really was a good idea. Setting a trap for himself, at least he could control the risk and also trick energy.

Click for special event details.

First time creating an Incarnation (300 points)

host's first time life was threatened (1000 points)

First time destroying the remnant consciousness of the previous host (500 points)

First cross-civilization resonance, Emperor Qin's world suppressing stele and Martial Soul linked. (500)

What a satisfying victory!!

Every Civilization settlement was Lu Chen's most exhilarating moment!!!

Congratulations, host! heavenly dao energy has reached 10000, Heavenly Dao Rank has increased to 4!!

Obtained new ability — Spiritual Qi Siphon, can absorb the Spiritual Qi of Small Worlds for Cultivation.

Note, the higher the average Realm of the Small World, the higher the purity of the Spiritual Qi that can be absorbed.

Lu Chen's eyes lit up!

This is good! This means Lu Chen doesn't need to search for Spiritual Qi everywhere like Lin Fei.

The higher the Realm of the Small World, the faster his Cultivation speed.

And the higher his Cultivation Realm, the higher the risk he bears, and he can create larger-scale cultivation worlds, a virtuous cycle.

Wait! That's not right!

Why is he still an ordinary person? Didn't he extract the Incarnation's Realm!!

System, if you're not dead yet, get out here.

【Detected a severe bug in the Incarnation, which may cause the host's consciousness to be trapped within it, so the Incarnation function is temporarily suspended. However, host, please rest assured, I have found an alternative solution: adding the Chosen One function. The host can choose anyone in the Small World as the Chosen One, and can still extract Cultivation.】

Isn't this just pulling down one's pants to fart, an unnecessary act!

It's just renaming the Incarnation to Chosen One.

Perhaps there was an issue with the System's underlying logic code, so it could only trick the System by renaming it.

The Incarnation function is suspended, what about the Cultivation I extracted?

【host, don't panic. All the Cultivation you extracted has been saved for you. Do you want to materialize it?】

【Materialize!!】

The moment Lu Chen chose to materialize, the entire ground shook violently, and the light bulbs exploded.

A Spiritual energy storm erupted with Lu Chen at its center!

Qi Condensation First Layer · Guiding Qi into the Body! ‌

Spiritual Qi poured into Lu Chen's body like a flood. His skin instantly turned red, hot white mist sprayed from his pores, and his blood vessels bulged like coiled Dragons!

Qi Condensation Second Layer · Initial Qi Vortex Formation! ‌

“Pfft—!” Lu Chen spat out a mouthful of clotted blood. A tearing pain came from his Dantian, the Spiritual Qi vortex spun wildly, his bones cracked “ crackling,” and his originally thin arms became muscular and sinewy, with bulging veins.

Third Layer! Fourth Layer! Fifth Layer! Sixth Layer!! ‌

Lu Chen's body transformed at a visible speed. His skin took on a metallic luster, making him invulnerable to blades and spears!

His pupils turned a faint golden color, and his vision pierced through the darkness!

His internal organs rumbled like thunder, and his heartbeat was deafening!

His Divine Sense surged, and everything within a hundred meters became clear!

Ninth Layer! Spiritual Qi Resonance, this is the precursor to Foundation Establishment!

A brilliant golden pillar of light shot into the sky. A three-foot-tall Spiritual Qi Dharma Idol appeared above Lu Chen's head. Weeds within a hundred miles instantly grew to several meters high. A crisp “ Click” sound came from deep within his Dantian, and a golden Spiritual Platform condensed from Spiritual Qi rose from the ground.

Foundation Establishment successful!!

Then! In the center of the Spiritual Platform, a walnut-sized golden pellet slowly formed. The surface of the pellet was covered with three hundred and sixty Innate Dao patterns, each containing the principles of the Five Elements' mutual generation and restraint.

Mountains, rivers, sun, moon, and stars all began to take shape within the pellet.

Golden Core Cohesion!

Lu Chen closed his eyes and frowned. A slit opened in his glabella, and a transparent infant-like phantom floated out.

Soul Emergence!

It's not over, it's not over!! The extracted Cultivation wildly filled Lu Chen's entire body, almost bursting him!

Divine Sense spread outwards, and the entire city came into view.

In a hospital corridor, he saw cancer cells rampant in a cancer patient's body, which, from the perspective of Spiritual Qi, appeared as gray-black twisted vines, frantically devouring the patient's life force; his Divine Sense condensed into a hand, and with a casual tap!!

The cancer cells instantly decomposed and disappeared.

The old man on the hospital bed suddenly coughed and sat up, and the alarm on the monitor abruptly turned into a regular beeping sound.

The doctor was shocked: “Oh my god, the patient has actually recovered, how is this possible!”

On the neon-lit streets, traffic flowed like a river. His Divine Sense roamed freely, and the entire city was under his gaze, like a Divine Being!

Soul Transformation Realm! Major Achievement!!

Hahaha! So exhilarating!

Only at this moment did Lu Chen truly feel like a Heavenly Dao!

Whether it was a Small World or Earth, he was the one and only God!!

His state of mind suddenly became clear!

Just then!

The Realm stopped abruptly!

Lu Chen clearly felt that there was still a large amount of Cultivation that had not been extracted, so why couldn't he extract it anymore!

Why... why did the Realm stop?! ‌

【System: According to the Incarnation's Realm, the Cultivation you are supposed to extract is Ascension Realm, but Earth's Spiritual Qi is depleted, and it probably cannot withstand your Ascension! If you forcefully Breakthrough, the entire Earth is very likely to explode directly due to your powerful Cultivation! So I will temporarily save your unextracted Cultivation for you and unlock it when Earth's Spiritual Qi recovers.】

I'm not afraid, what are you afraid of.

If I die, you just find another host.

【This System is just a test version, with a maximum of five hosts. You are the last one.】

No wonder it's so afraid of death, turns out I'm the last one!!

However, the Soul Transformation Realm should be enough for him to be invincible in the world for now.

Planes, tanks, missiles, he wouldn't even need to lift a finger.

A Divine Sense lock-on, and he could crush them remotely!

The bedroom door was pushed open, and his father rushed in and grabbed Lu Chen's hand: “Earthquake! Quick, run!!”

The family escaped the shantytown and went to an open area.

Because of Lu Chen's Realm Breakthrough, the entire shantytown, hundreds of households, all collapsed, and there were multiple tears in the ground.

The boss of the demolition company was overjoyed. He had long wanted to flatten this area but had always met with resistance.

Now it was good, everything had fallen, saving even the money for excavators... The moment Lu Chen materialized, anomalies appeared all over the world.

At the top of the Egyptian pyramids, an army of golden chariots was marching in formation across the Void Realm.

The moment the Pharaoh at the forefront raised his scepter, the entire army turned into golden sand and dissipated.

American tourist Smith filmed the video. In less than an hour, the click-through rate exceeded one billion. Even stranger, all the time parameters on the recording devices became garbled.

At the 12th beacon tower of the Badaling Great Wall, tourists saw a man in a black Dragon robe, holding a large axe, fighting a ten-thousand-meter-tall cockroach. However, the scene quickly disappeared, like a prank.

At Shaolin Temple on Mount Song, almost ten thousand people simultaneously witnessed the appearance of a ten-thousand-meter golden Buddha. The Buddha's light shone, and a patient suffering from cancer found himself cured. Doctors called it a medical miracle.

Some said it was a mirage, others said it was a magnetic field disturbance.

Huaxia, Science Symposium.

Wang Zhenhua, the Minister of Science and Technology, heavily knocked on the mahogany table: "Academician Li, your expert group has been researching for a day, you must give a conclusion."

Li Qingquan, the director of the Institute of Atmospheric Physics, pushed his gold-rimmed glasses and placed a thirty-page analysis report on the table: "After multi-dimensional data comparison, these phenomena conform to the composite effect of 'complex mirage + geomagnetic disturbance', just like the medieval battlefield illusion that appeared over the Aegean Sea in 1954. The essence is still a natural phenomenon."

A snicker came from the back row of the conference room.

An old man with silver hair stood up, wearing a faded Zhongshan suit: "Director Li, your theory cannot explain why there were cannons that clearly did not belong to that era in the Great Wall illusion! Nor can it explain why all the cancer cells of that cancer patient on Mount Song disappeared after the golden Buddha appeared."

"And who are you?" Li Qingquan narrowed his eyes, and the conference room security personnel had quietly surrounded him.

"Lin Xiuyuan." The old man pulled out a yellowed work ID from his canvas bag. The words "Top Secret" on the plastic cover had long faded. "Leader of the Kunlun Mountain Anomaly Investigation Team in 1983, chief examiner of the Phoenix Mountain UFO incident in 2001." His cane heavily struck the granite floor, "These so-called 'anomalies' are fundamentally the manifestation of the same power as the bronze ancient city we discovered in Lop Nur and the humanoid vines we encountered in Shennongjia!"

"Old Lin, your unit was disbanded long ago." Wang Zhenhua pressed his temples, "It's 2025 now, and what we need are conclusions that can be scientifically verified."

Lin Xiuyuan laughed loudly: "Science?!"

He suddenly tore open his Zhongshan suit, revealing crisscrossing scars on his chest: "This scar is from when I was pierced by a mysterious creature while searching for the ancient city of Lop Nur! I have studied mysterious metaphysics for forty years, and I can guarantee with my old life — beneath the land of Huaxia, there sleeps a power that even scientific instruments cannot detect!"

Wang Zhenhua slammed the table, his metal thermos cup bounced up, and hot tea spilled onto the meeting minutes: "Nonsense! Your superstitious stuff should have been swept into the dustbin of history long ago! Xiao Zhang, help Old Lin to the lounge for a cup of tea."

Lin Xiuyuan shook off the security guards: "I'll walk myself, hmph! You'll invite me back sooner or later!"

After speaking, he left the conference room.

Wang Zhenhua was furious: "Who on earth let this old charlatan in? Investigate, I want everyone held accountable!!"

...In the rented apartment, Lin Fei suddenly opened his eyes. He felt a familiar Spiritual Qi fluctuation.

He quickly dialed Lu Chen's phone: "Lu Chen, I felt Spiritual Qi. I just saw the trending topics online. Anomalies have appeared all over the world. Earth might be undergoing changes. Perhaps that Heavenly Dao wants to turn Earth into a cultivation world."

Lu Chen smiled. He had just materialized, and Lin Fei already sensed it. Truly amazing.

Why not kill Lin Fei while his Cultivation is not as good as his own!

Lin Fei continued: "I'll send you the Cultivation insights I've summarized these past two days. This is my five hundred years of Cultivation experience. You must keep it a secret. Feel free to ask me if you don't understand anything. I sense Spiritual Qi fluctuations in the north. I'm taking a plane to the north right now."

After a minute of hesitation, Lu Chen smiled: "Okay, then I'll wait for your good news!!"

Lu Chen decided not to kill Lin Fei for now. He would keep Lin Fei like an electronic pet, to see how far an ordinary person could Cultivate.

Just treat it as an experiment.

He could continuously absorb Spiritual Qi from the Small World. When Earth's Spiritual Qi was abundant enough, Lu Chen could reach the Ascension Realm!!

Lu Chen could also Cultivate in the Soul Transformation Stage, accumulating all the energy, like laying a foundation. The firmer the foundation, the higher the upper limit.

In the future, he could directly reach the God-Man Realm!!

Lin Fei lowered his voice and said: "Lu Chen, I can confirm that all of this should be the work of that Heavenly Dao, so we must act carefully. However, you don't have to worry. With my 500 years of Cultivation experience, as long as I find Spiritual Qi and restore my Peak Cultivation, I will definitely find the Heavenly Dao!"
