Chapter 313 Dragon Clan’s Interests Above All Else

The success of Xuzhou civilization may not be copied and used, but the failure experience of a civilization's demise is mostly universal.

Lu Yao carefully read the history of the rise and fall of the civilizations in the north and south of Zhou Island.

On the northern land, the initial development of the Zhouzhou people was rapid, and culture, technology and confidence were all condensed, making them optimistic and open, and they also adopted an attitude of tolerance and integration towards external ethnic groups.

Unfortunately, the unstable early civilization of the Zhouzhou people encountered an unprecedented crisis during the change of eras, resulting in a split and divergence in the idea of ​​healthy development.

As for the natural disaster, the people of Zhouzhou still can't figure out what's going on.

Whether they are reversing the process from the result of this disaster, or changing and shrinking under pure fear, or the radicals taking the opportunity to seize power at this time... In short, the death of a large number of tribesmen has led to a change in the external strategy of the Zhouzhou people.

If their civilization can be stable for a few more eras and establish firm and solid self-confidence, perhaps there will be no tragedy later.

Unfortunately, there is no if.

The vacillation and panic of the Zhouzhou people turned into internal strife and external plunder.

This move completely changed the status of the core of their civilization and also inspired the resistance and awakening of the mermaids.

After the rise of the mermaids, they launched an attack on the status of the Zhouzhou people. This was not only a revenge for the Zhouzhou people's abuse and killing of the mermaids, but also a desire for discourse power for a nascent civilization.

The confrontation between the old and new forces broke out into a war without room for tact.

The old man in the straw hat suppressed them with the power of the gods, and the two tribes had to shake hands and make peace.

But hatred and desire did not disappear because of this, but were hidden, hidden under the awe and fear of the gods.

The emergence of the dragon tribe brought huge external pressure, prompting the Zhouzhou people and the mermaids to cooperate again to carefully adapt to this unpredictable world.

If the old man in the straw hat was still there, then after several epochs of integration and change, maybe the two tribes in the north and south could really complete cultural integration and become a closer symbiotic civilization.

But the old man in the straw hat was in trouble.

After the death of the gods, the dragons left, the external pressure disappeared, and the world line that was forcibly twisted was re-converged.

It only takes one opportunity, and the undecided North-South War will start again.

This is a battle for dominance that determines the future of Zhou Island.

Although the mermaids won, the young civilization that lacked land support eventually followed the footsteps of the Zhouzhou people.

Lu Yao learned two lessons from this.

The first lesson is that a single civilization and race is very unstable.

Diverse civilizations will have less rejection of foreign groups and new ethnic groups, and they can form effective complementarity with each other, and can better cope with the overlapping of eras and the changing and complex external environment.

The second lesson is that the gods directly modify the process of civilization, which is only temporary, but the consequences are long-term.

The results of this behavior have been verified many times, such as the Ming God who took care of his believers without omissions, and the civilization was eventually destroyed by [Weed Monster] and [Crazy Lemmings].

If you decide to do this, you must be prepared for long-term observation and to deal with subsequent chain reactions, which will be very energy-consuming and thankless.

The old man in the straw hat was not unprepared.

After stopping the war between the North and the South, he also made a series of follow-up measures: consuming faith to perform miracles, adjusting the water temperature in the offshore area to further increase the number of fish, and increasing rain and light to accelerate the growth of ground plants, which in disguise promoted the prosperity of the land ecology...

In short, he knew very well that it would take time and environment to integrate the sea and land civilizations of the north and the south.

But the arrival of the dragon clan disrupted all arrangements.

There is only a simple description in the background of Zhoudao: [The old man in the straw hat] became the subordinate god of the dragon clan [Yinglong].

This Yinglong did not even appear, but the old man in the straw hat chose to attach himself to him. It is not known whether it was through the Pantheon or other means.

Regarding the dragon clan, Lu Yao asked Cancong.

"My Lord God, [Yinglong] is one of the honorable positions of the dragon constellation, and each honorable position is unique."

Cancong stated: "The dragon clan sailor is named after the honorable position, also known as the honorable dragon."

Lu Yao understood.

The dragon individuals under the identity of [Yinglong] will change, but [Yinglong] will not change, which is like the inheritance of some kind of power and reputation.

What surprised him was that Yinglong, as the main god, would actually recruit a god like Suoli Weng who had just entered the Pantheon as a subordinate god.

"My lord, the Zunlong usually has a large group of subordinate gods. In the past, the Zunlong controlled a vast area in the Leaping Zone, so many subordinate gods were needed to guard and maintain it."

Cancong said: "The gods in control of the channel world where the Jiuhe Pillar is located must be Zunlong's subordinate gods, otherwise the long-term stable operation of the entire Longxu channel cannot be guaranteed."

Lu Yao is more interested in this [Yinglong].

Unfortunately, Cancong is just a maintenance worker stationed outside and knows nothing about the secluded dragon bigwigs.

After learning about Yinglong's identity, Lu Yao also has a certain understanding of Suoli Weng's situation.

Since it has become the channel world of the dragon clan, everything on Zhou Island must be based on the dragon clan group first, and the development of local civilization is secondary. The focus must be on maintaining the stability of the Jiuhe Pillar.

Therefore, the old man in the straw raincoat and hat must have spent a lot of time on the Nine Grain Pillars and the dragons that passed by.

Using the [Red Coral Mirage] to hide the Nine Grain Pillars is also part of his work.

According to the records of the island world, the old man in the straw raincoat and hat performed a lot of miracles on the ocean, the purpose of which was to maintain the Nine Grain Pillars and expand the Red Coral Mirage.

Just like the group company constantly sends people to pass by, and may also come to the grassroots to make various demands, the grassroots leader of Suoli Weng is probably overwhelmed.

For Yinglong, the interests of the dragon clan are above everything else, and the kingdom of God must also serve it.

Suoli Weng hurriedly left because he was summoned by Yinglong. At that time, there were injured dragons in Zhou Island recuperating here. It can be seen that the channel world is like Longxu's enclave in the virtual universe.

In short, cooperating with the dragon clan caused Suoli Weng's godly duties to be affected, and the unknown accident in Longxu led to his fall.

The speed of time passing in different kingdoms of God is different, and the civilization of Zhou Island has not learned mathematics and accurate calendars, so it is impossible to know the specific time of the Longxu accident.

The only thing that is certain is that the damage to the Jiuhe Pillar is indeed directly related to Longxu.

After studying the past of Zhou Island, Lu Yao turned his attention back to the present.

After more than a thousand eras, this ownerless kingdom of God has undergone many changes, but there has never been a population that can create civilization.

The climate is constantly changing, and the overlords of the northern land come and go. Now it has become the wild boars and wild dogs that can adapt to the changes the most. They all maintain the habit of living in groups, have certain organizational skills and sociality, and the population is stable.

There is an ancient species in the ocean, called the red thorn snake.

In the past, they were the raw materials for Zhouzhou people to make medicine, and the snacks and bait for mermaids. Even though they were born much earlier than Zhouzhou people and mermaids, they evolved too slowly and became food and consumables.

Many years after the extinction of these old overlords, the red thorn snakes, after a long wait and evolution, overcame the cruel natural selection and harsh and changing environment, and finally climbed up step by step from the bottom of the food chain.

They look a bit like starfish, but have a long tail and a hard and conspicuous red cuticle on their bodies to protect their internal bone plates and various internal organs.

The big starfish that Lu Yao saw on land are them.

The red thorn snake is shaped like a five-pointed star, but it can slowly crawl onto the land and feed on plants and insects on the ground.

In order to better hunt, they usually disguise themselves as motionless starfish. When attracting insects, their tentacles will quickly change and embrace.

When avoiding natural enemies such as wild boars and wild dogs, it will change its body, shrink the other three horns, stretch its body, slowly turn into a red snake, and drill into the sand or stone.

The background shows that the number of red thorn snakes on Zhou Island exceeds 620,000.

Lu Yao feels that a large part of the 170,000 expenses of anchoring the world may come from this species.

…

[Red thorn snake LV1]

HP: 5/5

Mana: 1/1

Damage: 1

Defense: 1

Speed: 2

[Imitation]

Innately good at imitating other creatures.

…

The existence of the [Imitation] ability allows red thorn snakes to derive many ways of survival. Some red thorn snakes learn to climb trees, some drill into the ground, and some stick mud and stones on their bodies as shells.

A small part of them also have the [Wisdom] characteristic.

Some of the red thorn snakes in the water are heading towards various places in Beizhou, constantly adapting to the surrounding environment, and extending the tentacles of the tribe further.

While observing this marine creature crawling onto the land, Lu Yao's plan for Zhou Island gradually became clear in his mind.

In a word, keep the original ecology.

This is a very complete natural world. With the level of civilization of the Yao people, they can quickly adapt to the local environment and carry out a series of transformations.

But this is just to create a branch base of the Yao people.

If Zhou Island can naturally evolve a civilized population, let them follow the ecology and environment here and slowly develop a civilization path suitable for themselves. This is not only a supplement to the Yao civilization, but also an investment in the future.

Even if this place is still in the primitive stage, it can also be used as a backup world for the Yao people.

No loss.

Lu Yao left the [Deep Sea Lord] behind, and asked Slymode to separate a limb clone, ride the Deep Sea Lord, and act as an observer in this world.

Master Slime immediately accepted the order: "Please rest assured, sir, I will always pay attention to the developments of this world. I will report any major changes to you as soon as possible."

After finishing all this, Lu Yao returned his attention to Jiuhezhu.

Now he faces a new choice, which direction is the next target?

Zhu Ri Bay, or Xueqiu?

In the background records of the Zhoudao world, there is a simple description.

[Zhu Ri Bay]: A channel world that is good at casting and repairing.

[Xueqiu]: A channel world that focuses on training warriors and cultivating commanders.

Lu Yao thought that the dragon clan seemed to have a clear goal in finding a channel world. No matter how big or small each world is, the division of labor is very clear and has its own characteristics.

Xueqiu sounds like a place where martial arts prevail.

Zhu Ri Bay seems good.

In the ring world group, Zhu Lu Kingdom and You Gui Realm have labor and raw materials, but lack a centralized processing base.

That's it.

Lu Yao decided.

Next stop, Zhu Ri Bay.
