I became a god by treasure hunting after arriving 500 years early

"He came with peace and friendship, and he is also our benefactor!"

"And our Seventh Branch has become the representative of the Rize Civilization."

"In the future, our city will have a greater say... You should know the weight of this diplomacy."

Governor Leon pressed the button on the communicator, reflecting in his heart how fortune and misfortune come hand in hand, just as it was.

They were originally the city with the least promise, even their Extraordinary Spark had died, entirely blinding them to the future.

Now, it had turned into the city with the most promise...

Fate really is too bizarre, too elusive.

[Connecting to human civilization, please wait...]

...

...

The contact between humans and the Rize Civilization had already been over twenty days, no longer as strange.

But it still wasn’t like contacting a sibling, where you could call anytime, anywhere to check on their condition.

Both sides still harbored a bit of caution.

They were in a situation akin to strangers who had just met.

"Has Lu Yuan, as the intermediary, contacted that Rize Civilization often recently?" Mr. Li Chunhong, the top official of Yunhai City, just happened to be inspecting the Supernatural laboratory.

Over the past month, the industrial system of Yunhai City had been slowly starting to operate again.

Especially a large hydroelectric power plant, which was being rapidly advanced with the whole city’s effort.

The location of Yunhai City was quite good, with several wide and rapid rivers crossing the entire city from the edge of the Safe Zone.

These rivers had a very high flow rate, and the geological conditions consisted of harder granite with low seismic intensity, making them the best places for constructing hydroelectric power stations.

As long as the hydroelectric power station was successfully built, it would be able to continuously provide electricity, laying a solid foundation for industrial development.

Especially as some small hydroelectric projects could be completed within weeks or months to address some urgent needs.

Of course, the scarcity of resources remained a key difficulty; oil, coal, and the like were still non-renewable, so the responsibility for resources rested entirely on the faster-growing supernatural plants.

"We have evaluated that the overall technological level of the Rize Civilization is weaker than ours by thirty to fifty years..."

Professor Zhang Hui explained, "They have their strengths, their biology is quite good, not much different from ours."

"Moreover, their accumulation of supernatural knowledge is a bit more than ours. Because in their world, supernatural phenomena have appeared for thousands of years."

"Supernatural phenomena even somewhat suppressed the development of science. So, in terms of metaphysical theories, they might be more enriched than us."

"More contact, more interaction, there’s no harm in it," Li Chunhong said.

"By the way, any new changes in other cities?"

Zhang Hui smiled, "There are some, New York City’s City Hero Project has officially started... it seems to be doing quite well."

"However, New York City hasn’t earned the milestone of becoming a Stable City. I don’t know if they are too chaotic, or if the milestones have already been taken."

"Over forty days, just over 100,000 people reached," he added.

"Pangu Continent, truly a place hiding dragons and crouching tigers... How many days did the Seventh Branch of this Rize Civilization stabilize their city?" Li Chunhong asked with a smile.

The second day in Yunhai City, they accomplished this milestone, which actually represents confidence.

"They are reluctant to say, but they really stabilized quite quickly," Zhang Hui said, "because they have a foreknowledge ability user, who can predict many things."

"That makes sense..."

Foreknowledge, a level of Divine Skill, is something one can only envy and not attain.

"Also, the Extraordinary Spark of East Capital City died, and many scholars are planning, after the Safe Zone is revoked, to defect," he continued.

Li Chunhong sighed, somewhat bemused, and said, "I suppose the professors in East Capital City would reveal this information?"

"Of course not, it was Professor Edward from New York City who told me..."

"Oh, there’s also news that there was a big incident in the democratic elections in Lingbo City, Ninth Branch, the military government came to power, and quite a few people were shot."

The Ninth Branch, Lingbo City, actually had decent industrial capabilities and excellent research capabilities, but the circumstances were quite terrible.

Outside, there was even an anomaly!

The most critical point is that Lingbo City is very childish, its political activities are like playing house, and now, they are still conducting elections... Such abnormal behavior can indeed only be described as childish.

But now, with the military government in power, it means that public opinion has begun to rapidly shift.

The civilization of Lingbo City is quite strange, either extremely left or extremely right, which might be related to the suppressed national character.

"Alas, who knows what it will develop into," Professor Zhang Hui shook his head.

The more you know, the more you can understand the terror of the Anomaly...

If it were not for the fact that staying in the Safe Zone would lead to a slow death, who would dare to go out? Who would want to go out?

The Ninth Branch, there’s an Anomaly blocking the road outside.

The other human cities are also anxious.

After all, the distance between cities is not the end of the world, what if that Anomaly drifts over?

"Actually, having an alien civilization to compare with, a bit of crisis is also a good thing,"

"Without competition, there’s no pressure..."

Just then, on the screen of the large metal ball, a line of text suddenly appeared, interrupting the two people’s conversation.

[The Seventh Branch of the Rize Civilization has initiated a contact request with human civilization, connect?]

"Oh?" Li Chunhong smiled, "Speak of the devil, and he appears. Seems they have something else to handle."

This contact request was sent to communicators in all human cities...

According to international unwritten rules, one must wait a bit for most cities to come online before connecting together.

In foreign communications, humans must present a united front to avoid being looked down upon by other civilizations.

The screen turned on.

The leading Ze Person, Leon, wearing his usual white robe, had a smile all over his face.

This race’s smile is also quite strange, with nostrils flared and eyes squinted into a slit, a bit like a cow’s smile.

Well... it’s not unusual for an Exotic Realm Civilization.

"Hello, human friends! This time we have come to deliver some good news!"

"What is... that?" Professor Zhang Hui suddenly paused, manipulating the computer to enlarge a corner of the screen.

Just beyond the light screen of the Safe Zone, very far away, across the river, it seems, possibly, probably, there stood a humanoid creature?!

Dressed in human clothes, even wearing jeans?!

Isn’t that fucking Lu Yuan?

Lu Yuan is outside the Safe Zone!!

Suddenly, everyone in the conference room held their breath.

"Respected friends, today is a day worth celebrating."

Leon didn’t beat around the bush, "Look who this is? Our old friend, Mr. Lu Yuan, is outside the Safe Zone..."

Governor Leon’s words piqued the curiosity of all humans.

In fact, humans didn’t even know how he’d escaped from the hands of the "Demon."

Nor could they know that he had defeated a "Monster"!

"Quick, call his sister over! His brother is really alive," Li Chunhong hastily said.

Meanwhile, Professor Zhang Hui was already talking to Leon on the communicator. n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

"Thank you, Your Excellency!"

"Being able to see his image on the Pangu Continent and knowing he is in good health, we are quite delighted," Professor Zhang Hui immediately said, "He is also a significant figure to us humans."

"We express our sincere gratitude to you."

"No no no, you misunderstand," Leon hurried to say, "Mr. Lu is planning to cross the Safe Zone to visit our city."

"Maybe, you’ll have a chance for a direct conversation with him... We are not just showing you his image, he will be here soon."
