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

Lu Yuan continued rummaging through the box, where he found a few things that resembled crystals and seemed somewhat useful.

[Muddy Spirit Crystal, transformed from a certain crystal due to complex geographical factors. It contains a small amount of Ideal Energy, which can be used to assist in the cultivation of the Extraordinary Spark.]

[Once its energy is exhausted, it will slowly recharge itself with the Idealistic tide. (Inferior Grade·Natural Oddity)]

Lu Yuan already had better spirit crystals, and he most likely would not opt for something inferior; its value was limited.

The most useful item was a piece of silvery-white material.

[Dark Silver, also known as Mithril, when added to objects, greatly increases their affinity for Idealistic elements. (Rare Level·Natural Oddity)]

"The opposite ability of Black Iron..."

"Affinity" and "isolation" both have considerable uses in the forging of extraordinary items.

Like the conductivity and insulation of a wire, many complex items are meticulously designed, not just haphazardly crafted with a hammer.

Lu Yuan chose this small piece, which weighed just about 10 grams.

Tado couldn’t stand it anymore, "Your Excellency, if this item is of use to you, you may also take it. In your hands, it can realize its greater value."

It was that greenish piece of resin, sealing a drop of a [Ghost]’s blood.

Lu Yuan paused, holding the [Demon]’s remnant in his hand, and now he acquired the even more dangerous [Ghost]’s blood.

The chilling resin, like carrying an electric charge, made the Extraordinary Spark pulsate wildly.

After thinking it over, he still accepted it, as the world was far too twisted, and having more trump cards always seemed beneficial.

Then he began to transmit the Spark.

First, he took out a Pomegranate Fruit, giving each person 5 small seeds.

"This is..."

After eating the pomegranate seeds, many of the Rize people had expressions of astonishment on their faces.

Tado: "He gave us a fruit whose nature we don’t know... I feel like my fatigue just disappeared! I... I have one left, it should be fine, right?"

The voice in the telepathy responded, "Don’t save it, you need to survive."

"As long as we can survive, we can find a way to ask for a few more later, other things don’t matter!"

Reluctantly, Tado consumed the remaining Pomegranate Fruit.

Next, Lu Yuan used the Extraordinary Spark to draw a pattern of a twelve-grade golden lotus.

This lotus was lifelike, emitting a soft glow, slowly rotating at his fingertips.

Driven by his will, the petals of the lotus detached one by one, flying towards their foreheads.

Lu Yuan couldn’t help but laugh softly, "I never thought I’d one day use the Lotus Transmission Method, especially not on Alien Race members..."

Life’s events are truly unpredictable.

Fate really is unfathomable.

A Level Three Spark, transmitted to six people, didn’t actually cause much depletion of energy.

Moreover, these Rize people were all young and physically strong; the transmission’s success rate was almost 100%.

In an instant, they felt something ignite deep within their hearts!

"The Extraordinary Spark can burn away stray thoughts, which is very beneficial for calming the spirit."

"Here I will introduce a state called ’Resonance State,’ which is also deep meditation.

"In this state, there won’t be any internal consumption or anxiety, allowing some spiritual power to recover." n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

"The only downside might be that time seems to speed up, and you cannot respond to external threats."

Lu Yuan practiced deep meditation extensively, as every year he had those few days as a ’Crash Artist,’ when meditation helped him recover quickly.

However, using this technique in a crisis was akin to suicide.

Now, with more people, they could take turns meditating deeply.

The small team of Rize Civilization is composed of six people, of whom three fell into a deep meditative state, while the other three studied a booklet to see if that Dream Ability User had left any information.

All around them was dense blackness, suffocating them, but the brief time huddling together allowed Lu Yuan to relax his nerves slightly.

"How long can your Different Space last?" Old Cat, who was studying the booklet, suddenly asked.

"About twenty-something hours," Lu Yuan said. "To avoid complete exhaustion of spiritual power, I will have to cancel the Different Space after ten hours."

Old Cat: "First, let them rest well. Once you cancel the Different Space, let them guard you while you deeply meditate for a few hours. You’ll recover a lot of spiritual power, and then you can sustain the Different Space a while longer."

"That’s true... we can take turns resting before the bullets run out, we can last a long time. But besides living a bit longer, what’s the point?"

"There is a point," said Old Cat. "Think about it."

"I understand now..." Lu Yuan fell silent, Old Cat meant, to endure until the Tree of Life’s fruit was ripe.

A day here equals a hundred days outside.

Without mature fruit, it was impossible to reshape the body, always a hidden danger.

"Do you have a Civilization Communicator? Like that metal ball." In the quiet, Lu Yuan suddenly said, "Tado, you’re a telepath, you must still be in contact with your own civilization, right?"

Caught off-guard by the revelation, Tado was a bit embarrassed, "Yes, Your Excellency, I can indeed keep in touch with the leaders in the Safe Zone."

"We also have a communicator similar to the metal ball... Your meaning is..."

"My communicator is broken," Lu Yuan said. "I want to use your communicator to make a contact."

"It’s not much, just to say I’m safe, tell them I’m still alive... Just that."

Lu Yuan really wanted to make a call.

He missed his parents a little, and his sister, who was hard at work writing him a letter.

This had nothing to do with the rise of all humanity, it was simply a pure longing for familial affection.

He wasn’t any steel warrior, sometimes he felt inwardly fragile, doubting whether he could overcome the multitude of difficulties.

Up until now, he still hadn’t figured out how to kill a "Monster," uncertain whether he could survive.

He genuinely didn’t know.

Even if he had the ability to resurrect, what of it?

The "Monster" could drag him into Different Space again...

So, he wanted to send a message of safety.

It was a benign lie, if his parents could think that he was living somewhere on the Pangu Continent, never able to return home... that seemed rather nice too.

Tado hesitated for a moment, seemingly understanding Lu Yuan’s intent; civilizations with families could always empathize somewhat.

His tone couldn’t help but become a bit despondent as he thought of his own family. "Alright, I’ll consult with the rear, but personally, I think this request shouldn’t be a big problem."

"Is there anything else you need me to convey?"

Lu Yuan hesitated.

He actually wanted to say a lot more, but hearts are separated by stomachs, through a layer of communication, things might get distorted or even exploited in return.

The relationships between civilizations were even more complex than interpersonal relationships.

He couldn’t, and didn’t dare reveal too much.

Even, he had to leave some information chips for the humans, not easily disclosing some critical information...

Let the humans and the Rize Civilization communicate on their own.

As for the civilization number? Lu Yuan didn’t think a civilization number could make any difference... If revealing a number was such a big issue, then humans were doomed sooner or later.

"Just send a message of safety, then tell them, I received the letter in the dream, there’s no need for them to be too anxious to act, they should elevate their Extraordinary Level to avoid the risks in the dreams."

Lu Yuan revealed some information, then looked towards the dark distance.

The risks in dreams were indeed significant, for instance, the "Monster" would spread bait into dreams. It was just that humans had been lucky not to encounter such things.

"Understood, I will immediately consult with the Governor." Tado gave a slight bow.

...

...

Safe Zone, Rize Civilization, Seventh Branch.

The atmosphere in the room was subtly tense, occasionally punctuated by bursts of discussion.

Many leaders of the Rize Civilization were in a state of difficult decision-making.

The Alien actually wanted them to contact human civilization and send a message of safety?

On the large screen of the communicator, leaders from other civilization branches also began to fiercely discuss the request made by Lu Yuan.

Is it reasonable?

It seemed quite reasonable...

But this was a civilization-defining moment!

Communication with outsiders!

Communication with Aliens!

For the Rize Civilization, it was the first time, causing them to be genuinely anxious and fearful.

"No, no, no, absolutely not! We don’t know much about the function of this communicator... what if... what if there’s something tricky about it!" the leader of the 16th Branch exclaimed on the big screen.

"What if they could learn our location through the communicator?"

"What if they launched a war against us?"

The 16th Branch, a weak and conservative city, had already decided to hunker down within the Safe Zone, not venturing out!

The monsters outside were terrifying to the extreme.

They really couldn’t deal with them.

How else could they handle it if not by retreating?

And contacting human civilization indeed held unknown variables...

Thus, the conference room erupted into noisy argument.

The radical faction and the conservative faction couldn’t convince each other.

The conservative faction, aligning with the 16th Branch in opinion, was actually not small in number.

The Rize Civilization didn’t know how long the Safe Zone could last... many harbored some hope of it lasting forever.

And human civilization, just the combat strength exhibited by this traveler, was far superior by countless magnitudes!

And they didn’t even know where exactly the humans were located... perhaps right next door!

The moment you send a communication, they know your position!

"My friends, my opinion is, contacting humans might be the better choice," said Governor Leon of the Seventh Branch, his expression solemn and tone firm. "Because outside the Safe Zone, there is a terrifying anomaly guarding, and our external observation has become very difficult, missing a lot of information."

"If there is an ally... not even an ally, just any civilization capable of exchanging information without much malice, we’d have a lot more chances."
