I became a god by treasure hunting after arriving 500 years early-Chapter 635 - 460 Third-level Civilization!_2
Chapter 635 -460 Third-level Civilization!_2
The Desert Professor, who was inspecting the energy systems, even had the leisure to sit down in a chair and enjoy a cup of coffee.
“Times really have changed.”
He reminisced about the first time Sky City rose up—how a bunch of villagers, because of their fear of heights, were howling as if they were slaughtering pigs.
The city flew like a kite, swaying east and west, leaning in all directions, and it seemed like it could plunge upside down to the ground at any moment!
“And then what?” The youngsters were very interested in the gossip from the past.
“Back then, many people hesitated, shrunk back, wanted to nest in the desert for a lifetime. But Commander Lu, with a punch for each, knocked all those howling villagers down, then gave them a good scolding.”
“We are just a chicken-level civilization; is there any reason to retreat!”
Everyone burst into hearty laughter.
“That’s so him!”
As for now, the “Pandora” anti-gravity control system has long been perfected, and even a multi-layered safety protection system has been installed. Moreover, there are “Flying Snakes,” “Flying Dragons,” and other members of the Insect Race, as well as a lot of man-made flyers, so there’s really no need to worry about safety issues.
Similarly, Professor Lu Tiantian was inspecting a backup energy system—the Opium poppy system. Okay, it’s the oldest energy supply, but indeed it’s the last line of defense.
As a second-generation child, he hadn’t experienced the interesting stories of the first generation, but there were still many stories passed down to the second generation.
“At that time, I had just graduated, full of ambition, ready to step into society, when I heard a shocking piece of news.”
“What news?”
“Commander Lu gathered a bunch of us in the meeting room for a chat. His tone was grave as he said, we’re still a chicken-level civilization, any demon could slaughter us, everything depends on you young people.”
“The first small goal, stop freaking having power outages, I am begging you, the energy from the Opium poppies is not enough, take good care of your generators!”
Lu Tiantian imitated Lu Yuan’s tone: “At that time, I was young, under a lot of pressure, and I anxiously said, ah, does it depend on me? I studied biology!”
“Commander Lu’s eyes twinkled: Otherwise? If it’s not up to you young people, you think I’ll generate electricity with my bare hands?”
People laughed once again.
Back then, we weren’t even a Second-level Civilization! It was really tough!
But now humans might proudly claim that we are a genuine Third-level Civilization! We’ve finally gained a foothold on the Pangu Continent!
And thus, amidst laughter and good spirits, “boom” a soft sound.
The long-stationary Sky City finally rose once again!
The silent forest came alive with the chirping of insects, the massive black rift vanished into the gorges, and near the shoreline, those old stories were about to come to an end.
New stories, begin once more!
The whole city was like a smoothly ascending stone platform, rising higher and higher, swiftly surpassing 20,000 meters, still climbing relentlessly.
All the youngsters were seeing such a scene for the first time, experiencing an awe that came from within.
They stared blankly at the verdant forests, the rippling ocean, the mountains soaring to 100,000 meters, and the abyssal-like underground rifts… Everything was all too familiar.
On the ground, members of the Underground Alliance were sending off their well-wishes.

“Hey!”
“See you in ten thousand years! Hahaha!” The shout of the Minotaur was faintly heard, penetrating through the clouds.
There were also many more sentimental humans who couldn’t help but cry in the midst of taking in the views; after all, humans are nostalgic creatures, having stayed here for so long, it felt like home.
This departure might be forever.
“The Sky City’s drift runes are activated!”
“The concealment engravings are activated!”
A thin layer of clouds appeared on the exterior walls, enveloping the city within.
This made the entire city look like a giant cotton-shaped cloud, avoiding a lot of unnecessary trouble.
Then, departing from here…
Destination… the direction of the Human Mother Civilization!
10 kilometers…
20 kilometers…
30 kilometers…
As dusk fell, a bunch of white clouds slowly disappeared into the far end of the sky.
…
The day quickly passed, with people working if they had to and resting if they needed to; life wasn’t much different from what it had always been.
Unlike the longing feelings of the younger people, as the city took off and gradually entered a stable operating state, Lu Yuan felt his heart surge with excitement, brimming with anticipation for the future.
His home was here, and so was his family.
What’s wrong with starting a brand-new journey?
Besides, he had left behind a branch of the Opium Poppy Tree, so making occasional calls to friends wasn’t a problem.
He also left a temple here; once the Immortal Palace was repaired, he could teleport back whenever he wanted!
While he was lost in thought, the Minotaur clan had already called him via Dream telecommunication.
“Hahaha, It’s just old Brother Niu checking if this thing works?”
“Indeed, I see you, my good brother! A day without seeing you feels like a day hasn’t begun.” The bull grinned and laughed in the Dream.
Lu Yuan’s eyelids twitched. Buddy, making calls costs money… Of course, since the distance wasn’t great, it wouldn’t cost too much.
“Brother Niu, I have something for you. Almost forgot to say!”
“What’s that?”
“Aphrodisiac made from Scarlet Mushrooms, buried in a forest. I’ll tell you the exact location… You go dig it up, give yourself a nice boost.”
“Truly a good brother of mine!”
After Lu Yuan gave the location, he hung up the call with a grimace.
That jar of wine, meticulously crafted by him, was forgotten, and now it was a bargain for Niu Niu.
“Forget it, forget it, it’s not worth much money.”
After exiting the Dream, he discovered someone knocking on the door.
“Knock knock knock.”
“Come in!”
“Great Commander, hello!”
This group of people consisted of a new generation of outstanding individuals represented by Hai Zhiyun.
The eldest among them had already started working, and others had just graduated, totaling more than fifty people.
Mind Uploader Hai Zhiyun, at 23 years of age, might be the youngest, but ambition doesn’t rely on one’s age. Her status and talent were the most remarkable.
Lu Yuan cleared his throat and spoke the words he had been brewing for a long time: “Hello everyone, you are the most outstanding talents of the past fifty years, and as per tradition, I need to consult with you about our future direction.”
“You must understand that the future direction is not in my hands, but in yours. This is how each generation has done it before us.”
“But I have to admit, we are still a noob civilization… with many…”
But as soon as the words “noob civilization” left his mouth, all the students, boys and girls alike, burst into laughter.
It took a while for Lu Yuan to come back to his senses, realizing that the family talk he had been using for generations had been exposed.
He was extremely annoyed. What’s going on?
Which insider dared to leak the secrets of our civilization!!
We can’t even beat a Ghost, it’s indisputable that we’re a noob civilization!
…
Lu Yuan’s distance from the young generation was still quite close, but the closer the distance, the more likely it is to have a deficit in authority.
It wasn’t too big an issue; after all, he wasn’t the leader of these young people, just their leader’s leader’s leader, and he didn’t have jurisdiction over their work.
Moreover, Lu Yuan quite enjoyed this relationship. It was more relaxed, and he didn’t have to be too serious. Being stern all day would be too tiring.
In this stage of Human 18th Civilization’s development, with various industries advancing rapidly, it was hard for Lu Yuan to micromanage every detail.
That’s why he could only consult with the smartest people to understand the right direction to move forward.
“What do you think a more powerful Fourth-level Civilization should look like? In which direction should we develop?”
“What are our current shortcomings?” Lu Yuan asked, broaching the core topic of the conversation.
