Chapter 69: Settlement, the Beginning of Civilization (Seeking Everything!!)
Three days later, outside the beach.
Watching the players, who were overjoyed and preparing to sail back to Bretonnia with ships hung full of Chaos cultist husks that had nothing left but their skins, Li Ang's expression was also full of smiles.
During these three days, Li Ang used his abilities, the surrounding fortress and the sinister Chaos Wasteland environment, as well as the personal testimonies of the Holy Grail and the Great Tree Knight, to finally prove to those knights and serfs that, although it felt a bit wrong, the fact remained that Li Ang himself was a good person.
A full eleven thousand people joined the Landing Site, filling the originally empty area with countless blocks.
Under Li Ang's manipulation, everyone lived in an orderly fashion; every person's mind was filled with the professional advice and knowledge provided by Li Ang, and no riots were caused during the initial integration process.
However, it was a pity that two thousand people refused to join the Landing Site. They were free men and manor knights who had their own careers and families in Bretonnia. But they also promised that they would take those traces of demons to wash away the misunderstandings and grievances regarding Li Ang.
As for the players, Li Ang also tried to incorporate them into the ranks of his subjects.
But the prompt that popped up was very intriguing.
"You cannot manipulate subjects too far from the city; please establish outposts or gathering points locally to facilitate cognition and expansion."
"You have discovered some special traces; the way players exist seems to be no different from demons..."
"You have discovered some clues! Continuing the investigation is very likely to reveal other technologies!"
A very subtle prompt.
It seemed that players could indeed become nourishment.
To be honest, for a moment, Li Ang thought about throwing those players who already showed signs of Chaos corruption directly into Stonehenge to cleanse them, but given the potential problems, he abandoned this option.
At least from the current perspective, the resistance of the power supporting the players' traversal was still very strong. Although he drank the corrupted poisonous wine, Edward was unharmed. Although symptoms of feminization appeared and his own behavioral patterns began to become feminine, his own cognition and logical thinking abilities were not significantly disturbed.
This also made Li Ang feel a certain curiosity about the player group itself.
But this research would definitely have to be ranked later for now. Such a cosmic Wonder involving space-time and warping phenomena, needless to say, must be something only a planet-level force could study.
However, after sending those players and knights away, Li Ang also tentatively placed a mark on them.
These psionic and Magic imprints would extend his sight and perception to distant regions, letting these people open up a part of the progress for his sight. Of course, he had also sought their opinions before doing so. Li Ang never intended to hide his thoughts and attitudes, and he was the same now.
And just in such a scene where both host and guests were happy, after attributing all the sins to Joshua and the Dark Gods, facing the departing ships, Li Ang finally clicked on his settlement section.
His territory was no longer a gathering point or a place of exile, but a true starting point for a faction.
"Civilization achievements have been settled!"
"You have successfully resisted the invasion of the Chaos Demon!"
"You have successfully resisted the invasion of the Chivalrous Expedition!"
"You have successfully resisted the invasion of the Norsca Pirates!"
"You have successfully resisted the invasion of the Fairy Realm!"
"You have successfully resisted the invasion of the Sea Elves!"
"You have successfully resisted the invasion of the Descender!"
"During the establishment of your civilization, the following major events occurred; these events will condense into a part of your civilization and become the national belief of your civilization!"
"Starry Emperor: The origin of your civilization is above the starry sky; an unimaginable wise man fell from the firmament and sowed the fruits of civilization among the ignorant crowd. People believe that this heaven-chosen king will lead them to a perfect world. They never doubt this, at least not now.
Civilization Trait: Barring major events, all public sentiment is stable at Fanatical."
"In the Name of Miracles: Even before the population had gathered, before civilization had begun, your civilization had already created many unimaginable Wonders. But sometimes people wonder, is it that civilization only needs Wonders? It seems there is no need for normal buildings at all. Civilization Trait: Wonder construction speed increased by 25%, requirements reduced by 25%, special requirements have a probability of being lowered."
"Bloody: During the creation of the civilization, you captured and killed all enemies and potential allies. In the eyes of this civilization, all things in the world are objects that have been conquered or are waiting to be conquered.
Civilization Trait: War weariness reduced by 50%; after confirming a civilization war, combat power is increased by 20% during the war."
"Migrants: Most of the citizens of your civilization were plundered and migrated from the surrounding areas.
Civilization Trait: After different cultures are mixed, morale will not decrease."
"Mythic Path: You used the power of gods to change everything during the creation of the civilization; they began to gradually accommodate and understand Magic and higher-level power.
Civilization Trait: Unlock Mythic Path research, unlock Mana system."
"Civilization smelting in progress."
"Congratulations, in this complex world, you have finally taken your first step."
"After your civilization is officially created, all special entries and attributes will be smelted into one trait. Please note."
The population of the Landing Site had reached twenty thousand, and the current environment no longer had any events that could threaten the development of the civilization. This civilization, born on the snowfield and having walked all the way with bumps and stumbles, had finally reached a critical point.
Stories and legends had formed the foundation of the civilization, and those demons and slaughter had become the cornerstone of the civilization's smelting. Although the new population was still a bit unfamiliar, under Li Ang's online guidance and the teaching of those former serfs who had understood various knowledge from the Soul, they had quickly integrated into the area.
The Broken Lands occupied by the entire Stonehenge were undoubtedly the area controlled by Li Ang.
Whether it was Wonders, armies, or population, everything that had happened in this month or so finally severed them from the original world, forming a brand-new gathering point.
A brand-new civilization, a civilization truly created by Li Ang himself, a civilization he built with his own hands, would be born in this area. From Li Ang's overlooking perspective, the entire area covered by Stonehenge seemed to be painted with a layer of golden color, waiting for his final decision.
"Please name your civilization and choose the main smelting direction. According to your civilization's history, you can choose two main smelting directions."
"..."
Looking at the prompt, Li Ang slowly exhaled and closed his eyes.
"Let's call it Star-Bearer. We will eventually be the ones who bear the stars. And with Wonder construction and Starry Emperor as the core, we will forge our civilization trait."
"Faction Star-Bearer has been established. Your civilization trait is: Star-Bearer. Please view the trait yourself."
"You have opened the civilization perspective."
"Please take the first step of your civilization."
In the next instant, countless seas of stars unfolded before Li Ang's eyes, and factions like twinkling stars emerged before him.
Only then did Li Ang finally realize what this period of time meant.
Up to now, everything in this period of time only meant one result.
"... So I have finally opened the beginner tutorial."
This was the true first step.
Looking at the panel and data like stars before him, Li Ang's main body in the Observatory took a breath with some ambition. Facing the scene before him, he felt ambition burning fiercely within his body.
I will update explosively when it goes on the shelves! Seeking follow-up reading! Seeking collection! Seeking everything! (End of chapter)
