Game update

Sorrowful Sword Elegy put away his greatsword and took a White Axe out of his backpack.

"Boom!"

With a swing of the axe, a large tree that previously required the Four-Armed Orangutans' full effort to refine before use instantly crashed down.

Under the shocked gaze of the Four-Armed Orangutan Leader, Sorrowful Sword Elegy shoved the White Axe into the opponent's hand.

He gestured:

You try it too.

Lacking the dual blessing of equipment and the Breathing Technique, the Four-Armed Orangutan's tree-cutting motion was not as effortless as Sorrowful Sword Elegy's.

But it still only took a few swings to cut down a tree.

Seeing this, the Four-Armed Orangutan Leader was moved to tears.

They had always had to dig up these plants directly from the roots before!

After dragging the entire tree back, they would slowly refine it using sharp stone knives into spears or other shaped weapons and tools.

Their method was all about the persistence of dripping water wearing away stone.

And now, someone was telling them that cutting down a tree could be this easy?

Divine Artifact!

It was absolutely a Divine Artifact!

Just as the Four-Armed Orangutan Leader was immersed in the joy of obtaining the Divine Artifact, Sorrowful Sword Elegy snatched away the beloved "Divine Artifact."

Facing the other party's bewildered and reluctant gaze, Sorrowful Sword Elegy's attitude was firm:

Want it? Bring good things to trade!

Seeing a chance to obtain the Divine Artifact, the Four-Armed Orangutan Leader's eyes immediately lit up.

Not only did it bring a large amount of monkey brew, but it also stated that the players could cut down any trees here.

Even those few Ape Males and Ape Females could be offered as sacrifices to the players.

Sorrowful Sword Elegy glanced at the boundless forest:

"Let's cut down half first."

He can operate like that?

Even Father Can Rival a Nation couldn't help but complain, "Aren't you a little too ruthless?"

Sorrowful Sword Elegy spread his hands helplessly. "I can't help it. The scarcity and utility of an item determine its value."

Sorrowful Sword Elegy looked contentedly at the White Axe in his hand, which had long been phased out by Guild members; it had finally maximized its value before retirement.

After cutting continuously for more than five hours, players quickly started collapsing on the ground from exhaustion.

"I can't do this anymore, I can't. When will this work ever end?"

"Exactly. We have Rat Labor helping with digging stones and ores, but several hundred million units of Wood really can't be finished in a short time..."

Father Can Rival a Nation looked thoughtful after hearing this.

When it came to outsourcing labor, no one was more experienced than him.

Inspired by My Cat Can Do Backflips using the Steel-Toothed Rock-Crushing Rats for mining, he quickly turned his attention to the Four-Armed Orangutans.

When he turned around, he found that Sorrowful Sword Elegy and My Cat Can Do Backflips were also watching the Four-Armed Orangutans—who were peering and staring eagerly at the axes in the players' hands—not far away. Father Can Rival a Nation immediately sensed the scent of "great minds think alike" coming from them.

Soon, dozens of axes were delivered in front of the Four-Armed Orangutan Leader.

Watching the Four-Armed Orangutan Leader solemnly hand the White Axes to the Clan Elites, while the latter showed expressions of excitement and eagerness, wishing they could sacrifice their lives for the clan.

The few people couldn't help but laugh.

"Ahem!"

Father Can Rival a Nation poked the Four-Armed Orangutan Leader's shoulder and handed a Green Axe in front of it.

The Green Axe was not only cooler looking than the White Axe, but its power was also significantly stronger.

With a light swing from the Four-Armed Orangutan Leader, a large tree, thick enough to require a person's embrace, instantly crashed down.

The Four-Armed Orangutan Leader looked excitedly at the Green Axe in its hand, breathing rapidly:

Supreme Divine Artifact!

A Supreme Divine Artifact!

Seeing that the other party had indeed taken the bait, Father Can Rival a Nation's expression changed:

Give it here!

"$%¥#@!"

Father Can Rival a Nation couldn't understand the Four-Armed Orangutan Leader's words and impatiently dug at his ear:

"Want it? Bring your Clan Elites to help us cut trees. Oh, and send us a few more jars of good liquor!"

Just like that, the Four-Armed Orangutans, who had previously tried hard to stop the players from cutting trees, completely surrendered and joined the ranks of tree cutters one by one.

Golden Lion and the others were simple-minded men, and no matter how many times they saw this maneuver, they couldn't help but click their tongues in wonder:

"Awesome, Brother Long. You're actually starting to learn bad habits too."

"Shut up if you don't know how to talk. This Young Master calls this keeping up with the times."

The number of Four-Armed Orangutans surpassed the number of players, and with their addition, the speed of collecting "Wood" significantly increased.

On the day the mission was submitted, all the players held their breath, eagerly awaiting the rewards.

Of course, they already had a rough idea of the contribution rankings.

What they were looking forward to were the gold, red, and purple weapon equipment among the rewards.

Unexpectedly, before the rewards arrived, they first received a game maintenance and update notice:

[Dear Players: Congratulations on completing the first Main Quest! However, since the "miracle of creation" game is about to undergo a twenty-four-hour system update, quest rewards will be distributed after the update concludes. Thank you for your support!]

...This update to "miracle of creation" was destined to cause a huge uproar online.

"Wait, someone actually maintains and updates this game? I thought this was just an empty game shell disguising a passage to Another World."

"People? Perhaps only a god could control a game like this, right? But would a god be so kind? Offering humanity a painless way to break through to Transcendent Creature status for no reason—that's terrifying!"

"Hey upstairs, stop with the conspiracy theories, okay? Personally, I support the Human Divine Creation theory. What if the one controlling this game is humanity's biological father? Anyway, this game is currently beneficial and harmless to humans. If you upstairs prefer injecting Genetic Modification Agents, go ahead, no one is stopping you."

"Am I the only one curious about what features this game update will bring? Wish Map + Teleportation Function. Even as a Feather Clan Player, I find exploring outside too troublesome."

"Ten thousand people petitioning for an increase in player count! I'm a Spectator Player and I'm dying of envy!"

"Add an in-game communication feature, the kind divided into world, Guild, team, and Private Chat. Having no means of communication and only being able to contact face-to-face or offline is too inconvenient."

"We want pets! Currently, the Steel-Toothed Rock-Crushing Rats at the players' birthplace lack sight and smell, and they are extremely obedient to players with strong Mental Control, showing no intention of turning against them. But raising rats is too boring; I want to raise some exciting Transcendent Creatures."

...While netizens were discussing heatedly, Lu Chuan was quietly monitoring their suggestions and making silent notes.

"I truly am a Creator who is good at adopting suggestions."

[Your world has extracted the Transcendent Creature 'Demon Wolf'. Do you wish to deploy it?]

[Your world has extracted the Transcendent Creature 'Qingyuan Deer'. Do you wish to deploy it?]

...Lu Chuan brought a total of five hundred Portable Blood Collection Devices on this trip, collecting samples from one hundred and ninety-seven Transcendent Creature races, with an average of two to three individuals collected per race.

Of course, the genes of these one hundred and ninety-seven races do not mean that only one hundred and ninety-seven new species can evolve in the world.

Take the former Colorful Scaled Lizard, for example: a tiny female lizard evolved into three powerful races.

Every species under the Ancient God's Protection holds infinite possibilities.

Furthermore... Lu Chuan took out the Blood Crystal of that Calamity-level Transcendent Creature.

[Your world has extracted the Transcendent Creature 'Six-Winged Heavenly Demon Owl'. Do you wish to deploy it?]

So this guy is called the Six-Winged Heavenly Demon Owl.

"Then, I can begin deploying them one by one!"
