The success of the Void Zeus civilisation might not necessarily be copied and applied, but the experience of a civilisation’s failure in overthrowing was mostly universal.
Lu Yao carefully read the history of the rise and fall of civilisations in the north and south of Chau Island.
On the northern landmass, the initial development of the Chauchou people grew by leaps and bounds, with culture, technology and confidence coalescing, making them optimistic and open-minded, and adopting an attitude of tolerance and integration with external communities.
Unfortunately, the early civilisation of the Chauju people, which was still unstable, suffered a crisis never seen before in the change of epochs, leading to a tear and divergence of ideas for benign development.
With regard to the natural disaster, the Chauju people were still unable to figure out what was going on.
Whether they are extrapolating the process from the outcome of this disaster, changing and contracting out of sheer fear, or the radicals taking advantage of this time to seize power …… In short, the deaths of a large number of their people have contributed to a change in the external strategy of the people of Chau Province.
If their civilisation had been stable for a few more epochs, and had built up a firm and solid self-confidence, the latter tragedy might not have happened.
Unfortunately, there were no ifs.
The Continentals’ faltering and panic transformed into civil unrest and external plundering.
This move completely changed their position at the heart of civilisation and inspired the Cross People to revolt and awaken.
After the rise of the Jiaoren, they launched an assault on the status of the Chauchou people, which was not only a revenge for the Chauchou people’s mistreatment and brutalisation of the Jiaoren community, but also a nascent civilisation’s thirst for the right to speak.
The old and new forces confronted each other, and a war broke out that had no room for euphemisms.
The Demoiselle was suppressed by the power of the gods, and the two races had to shake hands and make peace.
But the hatred and desire did not disappear, they were just hidden, concealed under the awe and fear of the gods.
The emergence of the Dragon Race brought about tremendous external pressure, prompting a secondary co-operation between the Chauchos and the Jiaoren, in order to carefully adapt to this ever-changing world.
If the Demoiselle Weng was still around, then after several epochs of integration and change, perhaps the northern and southern races could really complete their cultural fusion and turn into a closer symbiotic civilisation.
But something happened to Demoiselle Weng.
After the gods fell, the dragons left, the external pressure disappeared, and the world line that had been forcibly reversed reined in.
All that was needed was an opportunity, and the undecided Civil War began once again.
This was the battle for dominance that would determine the future of the island of Chau.
Although the Jiaoren were victorious, the young civilisation that lacked the support of land eventually followed in the footsteps of the Continentals.
Lu Yao learnt two lessons from this.
The first lesson was that single civilisations and races were very unstable.
Diverse civilisations would be much less likely to reject foreign groups and new ethnic groups, and would be able to effectively complement each other, and be better able to cope with the change of epochs, as well as the changing and complex external environment.
The second lesson is that direct modification of the civilisation process by the gods is temporary, but the consequences are long-lasting.
The results of this behaviour had been verified many times, such as the Ming God who took care of his followers without any omission, and his civilisation was eventually destroyed by the [Barnyard Weed Monster] and the [Crazy Lemmings].
If one decided to do this, then one would have to be prepared to observe and cope with the subsequent chain reactions in the long run, which would be very energy consuming and thankless.
The Demoiselle was not unprepared.
After stopping the Civil War, she also made a series of follow-up measures: consuming faith to perform miracles, adjusting the water temperature of the offshore area, allowing fish to further increase, and increasing rain and light, causing the growth of plants on the ground to accelerate, which in effect promotes the prosperity of the land ecology ……
All in all, she was well aware that it would take time and environment to integrate the northern and southern sea and land civilisations.
But the arrival of the dragon race has disrupted all the arrangements.
The backstage of the island of Chau has only one simple description: the [Demoiselle Weng] has turned into the subordinate god of the dragon race [Yinglong].
This Ying Long didn’t even show up, letting the Demoiselle Weng choose to depend on it, not knowing if it was using the pantheon of gods or other means.
Concerned about the Dragon Race, Lu Yao asked Silkworm Bush.
“My Lord God, [Ying Long] is one of the Dragon Host venerable positions, and each venerable position is unique.”
Silkworm Cong stated, “The Dragon Initiate is named after the Exalted Position, also known as the Exalted Dragon.”
Lu Yao understood.
Individual Dragons under the identity of [Ying Long] would change in turnover, but [Ying Long] would remain the same, it was like some sort of inheritance of power and reputation.
What surprised him was that Ying Long, who was the Lord God, would actually recruit a God of the Gods like Demoiselle Weng, who had only been in the Hall of Gods for a short while, as a Subordinate God.
“My lord, Exalted Dragons usually have a large group of Subordinate Gods. In the past, the Exalted Dragons controlled vast areas in the Flying Leap Zone, so they needed many Subordinate Deities to garrison and maintain them.”
Silkworm Bush said, “The channel world where the Nine Harvest Pillars are located, the gods under its control must be Exalted Dragon Subordinate Gods, otherwise it would not be possible to ensure the long term and stable operation of the entire Longshou Passage.”
Lu Yao was more interested in this [Ying Long].
It was a pity that Silkworm Cong was just a maintenance worker stationed outside, and knew nothing about the deep-rooted Dragon Race bigwigs.
Learning of Ying Long’s identity, Lu Yao also had some understanding of the Demoiselle’s situation.
Since it had become a passage world for the Dragon Race, everything on the island of Chau must be prioritised for the Dragon Race group, with the development of the local civilisation being secondary and the focus on maintaining the stability of the Nine Harvest Pillars.
Therefore, Demoiselle Weng will definitely spend a lot of time on the Nine Harvest Pillars, as well as the dragons that come and go passing through.
Hiding the Nine Harvest Pillar with the [Red Coral Mirage Statue] was also a part of her work.
According to the records of the Chau Island World, Demoiselle had performed a large number of miracles on the ocean for the purpose of maintaining the Nine Harvest Pillar, and expanding the Red Coral Mirage.
Just like the group companies were constantly sending people passing by, and possibly coming to the grassroots level to present various needs, Mino Rasa Weng, the grassroots head, was mostly burnt out.
To the corresponding dragon, the interests of the dragon family were above all else, and the divine Kingdom of the God of the Genus had to serve it as well.
Demoiselle Weng left in a hurry because he was drafted by the corresponding dragon, and at that time, there were still injured dragons on the island of Chau Island who were recuperating here, so it was clear that the channeled world was just like an enclave of the dragon lodges in the imaginary zeus.
In short, working with the Dragons led to the Mino Weng’s original duties as a god being compromised, and the unknown accident that occurred on Dragonhost led to her downfall.
Time passes at different speeds in different divine kingdoms, and since the civilisation of the island of Chau has not learned mathematics or accurate calendars, there is no way to know the exact time of the Dragon’s Accident.
The only thing that was certain was that the damage to the Nine Harvest Pillar did have a direct relationship with the Longshou side.
After studying the past of Chau Island, Lu Yao pulled his gaze back to the present.
After more than a thousand epochs, many changes had occurred in this masterless God’s Kingdom, yet no more species that could create a civilisation had appeared.
The climate was constantly changing, and the overlords of the northern land came and went, now turning into the wild boars and wild dogs that were most adaptable to change. They both maintain group living habits, possess some organisational and social skills, and their populations thrive and stabilise.
The oceans are home to an ancient species called the red buckeye snake.
In the past, they were an ingredient in the Chauju people’s pharmaceuticals, snacks and fishing bait for the crossers. Even though they were born far before both the Chauchou and the Jiaoren, their evolution was too slow, resulting in them being reduced to ingredients and consumables.
Many years after the demise of these old overlords, the Red Raspberry Snake finally climbed up from the bottom of the food chain step by step after a long wait and evolution, overcoming the brutal natural screening and harsh and changeable environment.
They are somewhat like starfish in appearance, but with a long tail and a hard and conspicuous red horny layer on their bodies, which protects their internal bony plates as well as various internal organs.
The large starfish Lu Yao saw on land were them.
The Red Spiny Snake was shaped like a pentagram, but could slowly crawl onto land and feed on plants and insects on the ground.
In order to be able to hunt better, they were usually disguised as motionless starfish, and when they attracted insects, their tentacles would quickly change and ring.
And on a daily basis, when avoiding natural predators such as wild boars and wild dogs, it will change its body, contracting the other three horns, stretching its carapace, and slowly transforming into a red snake that burrows into the sand or rocks.
Backstage shows that there are over 620,000 red spiny snakes on Chau Island.
Lu Yao feels that a large portion of the 170,000 overheads of the anchored world may come from this species.
……
[Red Spiny Snake lv1]
Life Value: 5/5
Mana: 1/1
Damage: 1
Defence: 1
Speed: 2
Mimicry
Innately skilled at modelling other creatures.
……
The existence of the [Mimicry] ability has allowed the Red Rattlesnake to develop a number of ways of surviving, with some learning to climb trees, some burrowing into the ground, and some using dirt and rocks to stick to their bodies as armour.
A small portion of them also had the [Wisdom] trait.
A portion of the Red Spiny Snakes in the water headed towards various parts of the Northern Continent, constantly adapting to their surroundings, and were extending the tentacles of their colony farther and farther.
As Lu Yao observed this sea creature crawling onto the land, his plan for the island gradually became clearer in his mind.
In a word, maintain the original ecology.
This is a very complete natural world, and with the civilisation of the Yao Race, they can quickly adapt to the local environment and carry out a series of modifications.
But this was merely creating a sub-base for the Yao Race.
If we could allow the island of Chau to naturally evolve a civilised population, and let them slowly develop a civilised path that suited them according to the ecology and environment here. Not only would this be a complement to the Yao Race’s civilisation, it would also be an investment in the future.
Even if this place remained in a primitive stage, then it could be used as an alternate world for the Yao Clan.
It wasn’t a loss in any way.
Lu Yao left the [Deep Sea Lord] behind, and asked Slemod to detach a lattice limb detachment to ride on the Deep Sea Lord and act as an observer in this world.
】
Master Slymod immediately took the order, “Please rest assured, my lord, I will definitely keep an eye on the movements of this world, and I will report to you at the first opportunity for any major changes.”
With all this taken care of, Lu Yao returned his attention to the Nine Harvest Pillar.
Now he was faced with a new choice, which direction was his next target?
Casting Sun Bay, or Blood Mound?
In the backstage records of the Continent Island World, there was a brief description.
[Casting Sun Bay]: a channel world that specialises in casting and repair.
[Blood Mound]: a channel world that focuses on training warriors and cultivating commanders.
Lu Yao thought to himself, the Dragon Race seems to be looking for channel worlds with a clear goal in mind, and the division of labour for each world, no matter how big or small it is, is very clear and has its own characteristics.
Blood Hills sounded like a place where martial arts were prevalent.
Casting Sun Bay seemed good.
In the Ringworld Cluster, the Bamboo Reed Kingdom and the Phantom Ghost Realm had the labour and raw materials, what was missing was a centralised processing base.
It was it.
Lu Yao decided.
Next stop, Cast Sun Bay.
