Chapter 1757 Civilization Upgrade, Exploring the Other Shore
"We are investigating, but we haven't received any news yet."
"Then wait until we get some news."
One month later.
The city lord ordered to prepare for the sacrificial ceremony.
The whole city was in a busy scene, and a grand altar was built in the square.
The scale of the sacrifice was unprecedentedly grand, with tens of thousands of green-skinned creatures wearing sacrificial clothes, holding incense, and kneeling in front of the altar.
The city lord personally walked up to the altar, wearing a golden priest robe, with a solemn face and a trace of awe in his eyes.
He walked to the side of the boulder, knelt on one knee, raised his hands above his head, and prayed devoutly, "God stone, please fulfill my wish."
"Let the people of Qingyun City also gain the power called divine arts."
The sacrificial ceremony unfolded in the solemn music, thousands of green-skinned creatures chanted in unison, and the air was filled with the strong smell of incense.
The boulder in the center of the altar looked particularly sacred under the light of the lights.
Everyone's face was full of expectations.
If you really get extraordinary abilities, it is tantamount to ascending to heaven in one step.
The sacrificial ceremony gradually reached its climax in a solemn atmosphere, and the whole city was waiting for the miracle to come.
After the sacrificial ceremony was completed, the boulder began to emit a brilliant light.
The sky of the city was shrouded in a mysterious halo for a while, as if the whole world was responding to the prayers of the sacrificer.
A powerful force surged out of the boulder, endowing a few Qingfeng people with divine arts
At this moment, Lin Shan quietly pulled the city lord into the white space.
"Stop attacking the Minotaur tribe." Lin Shan said lightly with his back to him.
The city lord was stunned and wanted to kneel, but hesitated again, "Are you the Stone God?"
As a Sequence 6, he knew very well that this mysterious existence had immeasurable power and must not be offended.
Lin Shan did not answer, but waved and pushed him out.
......
With the blessing of divine arts, the Qingfeng people's combat effectiveness has been unprecedentedly improved.
They began to be invincible on various battlefields, and every expedition could bring back rich spoils.
In just a hundred years, Lin Shan received 1% of the total resources needed.
The speed of absorption is still increasing. Lin Shan expects that in another three to five hundred years, he will be able to collect 10%. Together with the previous 10%, there will only be 80% left.
In the past hundred years, Lin Shan has thoroughly understood this civilization.
As he saw in his memory a long time ago, the Qingfeng people are a civilization that lives on aggression.
They constantly attack other civilizations, plunder resources, and expand their sphere of influence.
Regarding the technology of opening the transfer rift, Lin Shan is not clear about the specific details, but he vaguely feels that this is not technology, but the ability of the game on the other side.
The city lord seems to be a player of the game on the other side, but unlike the player who controls the little black man to fight in the gray fog universe, he is a local player.
Based on the core of the city lord, the game on the other side can penetrate deeply into all aspects of this city.
For example, to build a building, you only need to draw the blueprint, then make it into a card, and add a certain kind of materialized energy to directly materialize the building.
There are many other things that can be made in this way.
However, the development of this city is also subject to many restrictions.
The biggest limitation is the area. The diameter of the entire city is only 30 kilometers, and the area is about 700 square kilometers, but it is home to more than 10 million Qingfeng people.
Their buildings can only be expanded upwards and downwards, and the increasing population can only be consumed through war.
If the population is overpopulated, the city will also face the crisis of collapse.
This also makes the city a huge fighting machine.
As long as the population reaches a certain level, they will launch an invasion and plunder resources.
Even if the tribesmen who went out to fight did not come back, it would not be a loss for the city.
For the situation outside, Lin Shan did not interfere too much in the past 100 years.
Compared with the Minotaur tribe, this place is more suitable for him.
One-third of the Qingfeng people who fought outside have begun to believe in him.
Through these faith channels, Lin Shan can gather all the spiritual elements from the outside world.
He only needs to sit quietly to harvest resources continuously, and the speed is very fast.
Time flies, and another 70 years have passed.
During this period, the power of the Qingfeng tribe has been further strengthened, and the resources accumulated by Lin Shan through the faith channel have also reached 3%.
The technology of the Qingfeng tribe has advanced by leaps and bounds under the blessing of divine arts, and the power of the entire city is at its peak.
However, a sudden crisis is quietly approaching.
One day, the whole city suddenly shook.
The earth was twitching violently, the buildings were shaking violently, and the residents looked up at the sky in horror.
At this time, a crack suddenly appeared in the void not far ahead.
The crack gradually expanded, and it seemed that countless eyes were peeping at this world in the dark void.
As the crack expanded, a dark object drilled out of it.
It was a floating island, suspended in mid-air.
The city of the Qingfeng tribe immediately launched a response policy.
Tens of thousands of steam-powered warships floated above the city, and the dazzling divine light shone from the hulls.
These warships are the most advanced weapons and equipment of the Qingfeng tribe, combining steam technology and the power of divine arts. If the Qingfeng tribe had such equipment at the time, the Minotaur tribe would not even be able to withstand a round of bombing.
On the floating island, the enemy's army also began to gather.
They wore black armor that covered their entire bodies, and held long firearms.
There were also tens of thousands of warships floating around the floating island, shaped like ships with huge gun muzzles.
The eyes of both sides met in the air, and the air was filled with a strong smell of gunpowder and tension.
At this critical moment, the city lord of the Qingfeng tribe strode to the huge stone enshrined on the high platform, knelt on one knee, and prayed in a low voice.
"Thanks to the help of the Stone God, my Qingyun City has developed rapidly. Now we have suddenly encountered this upgrade opportunity. The winner of the enemy and us will be upgraded to a sixth-class city, and the loser will go to destruction. Please ask the God Stone to help my Qingfeng tribe. Afterwards, we will make the Stone God the only god of the Qingfeng tribe, and offer a small sacrifice once a month and a large sacrifice once a year."
The huge stone flashed with light, and the ethereal divine voice was transmitted to the ears of the city lord, "The whole island must be sacrificed to me."
Lin Shan understood that the city lord was painting a pie for him.
But Lin Shan was willing to eat this pie.
Not to mention anything else.
There are nearly 15 million people on that island.
This is hundreds of billions of spiritual elements, and the entire island is actually a huge spiritual tool, providing a huge amount of spiritual elements.
"If you can take it, the whole island is yours." The city lord looked up at the boulder and said.
The city lord's attitude towards Lin Shan is obviously different from that of the Minotaur tribe, because he knows more.
He understands that the so-called gods are just more powerful creatures.
The residents of the entire city watched this scene quietly, and their hopes and beliefs were now placed on the boulder.
Over the past few hundred years, through continuous ideological indoctrination, most people firmly believe that this boulder that gives them divine powers is their true god.
In the sky, the sound of the warship's engine is getting louder and louder, and the soldiers on both sides are preparing nervously.
This will be a battle that determines life and death. The winner will gain supreme glory and power, and the loser will be completely destroyed.
Just when everyone thought that there would be a bloody battle next.
The boulder on the high platform slowly floated, hanging in the middle of the two armies.
Lin Shan decided to do something to try to activate the rules of the game on the other side.
