Chapter 23 - Genesis, the Birth of the Eye Demon Civilization!
Chapter 23: Genesis, the Birth of the Eye Demon Civilization!
[Log: The Super Behemoth, following the divine decree, came back to that familiar cosmic coordinate after several explorations.]. [It did not find Meteorite No. 1, but unexpectedly discovered a small chunk of cosmic ice, which it joyfully brought back.]. [The water source of the Heaven Origin Realm increased by 10 tons, and the ocean expanded slightly.]. [Log: The abundance of food allowed the populations of the three clans to surpass 1,000. In the face of crises, they intensified their training, with abundant martial virtues, ready for battle at any time.]. [Occasionally, the Eye Demons and the Super Behemoth ventured into space to collect debris. Although most of the attempts ended in failure, a small number of unidentified objects were retrieved.But even the legs of ants count as meat; the world’s source gradually increased.].
[The land area grew to 105 kilometers. The level of spiritual energy deepened.]. [Log: Half an era has passed under the will of God.The Eye Demon leader compiled a code about you, which the followers recited daily. It entered the ranks of true believers.].
[It called itself the High Priest, rallying its kin to construct your temple complex.]. [This infrastructure deepened the cultural foundation of the Eye Demon Clan. Coincidentally, they built city-states and learned to use tools and fire.]Here, a line of glaringly bright red text stood out, more eye-catching than the birth of a religion.
[Heavy Log: In order to spread your holy scripture, the Eye Demon Clan created a unique written language.To expedite the construction of the temple and the carving of the statue, the Eye Demons crafted bronze tools with their tentacles.].
[To facilitate gathering the clan for prayers, the Eye Demon nation was born!]. [The Eye Demon civilization has been born!]Su Bai never imagined, even in his dreams, that such a crucial step akin to Genesis would be achieved without his guidance!
It developed naturally to a certain extent!
Even the simulator rewarded this.
[The first civilization’s birth rewards you with +3000 Creation Points. You may choose one from three options.]. [1. Talent Guarantee Card: In ten draws, you are guaranteed one orange talent. (Money doesn’t change fate; mysticism doesn’t save the unworthy.)]. [2. Golden Talent Upgrade Card: The highest-grade upgrade card available. After use, it can upgrade an orange talent to gold. (I believe good fortune will always be with me.)]. [3. Refresh Card x5: After use, ignore cooldown time and simulate at any time.]Was there any doubt?
Having experienced the overwhelming power of golden talents, Su Bai decisively chose the upgrade card.
One gold is worth a hundred oranges!
He hadn’t expected the Eye Demon Clan to give him such a surprise.
If they were willing, they could even condense into a C+ level card.
This was the acknowledgment of the laws of value for them.
For this, Su Bai specifically issued a divine decree,
encouraging the Eye Demon Clan to continue their efforts.
If they died in the future, they would be elevated to the divine realm.
At that time, there would be endless eye drops, with each male Eye Demon having 72 brides.
—Although there is currently no divine realm dimension, it’s always good to draw up a plan.
Receiving the personal commendation from God made the Eye Demon Clan ecstatic.
Their prayers and rituals became increasingly grand, raising their faith points to 80!
After hearing about this, the other two clans were filled with jealousy, their hearts ablaze with envy.
They felt like two neglected children trying desperately to catch up to their parents.
Su Bai took a look.
Under the command of the Lord of the Four Seas,
the early forms of underwater buildings and cities had already begun to take shape.
The Kota Fishmen were also close to establishing an underwater civilization!
Conversely, the previously most eye-catching Rhinoceros Beetle Beasts felt a bit cramped.
They sacrificed their intelligence for their bodies and acted recklessly.
Building, a delicate task, wasn’t suitable for them.
Communicating through words couldn’t compare to directly using tentacle waves for convenience.
Plus, since they treated their claws as weapons, it was inconvenient to free them for tool-making.
Their progress was the slowest.
This left the Super Behemoth extremely anxious.
In response, it unleashed all its anger into the cosmos,
like a close relative of the dung beetle, or perhaps like bees collecting nectar.
It continuously brought back various types of garbage from space to the Heaven Origin Realm.
There were unknown small stones, solid ice that had frozen, remnants of debris drifting in from who knows where…
Thanks to them, the Heaven Origin Realm grew to 110 kilometers.
The world’s favor towards the Rhinoceros Beetle Beasts deepened as well.
The Super Behemoth became even more motivated.
Their clan’s peculiar nature seemed to be walking down another twisted path.
Su Bai enjoyed watching the little guys busy with their lives,
entirely unaware of the passage of time.
It was reminiscent of his childhood, lying on the ground, observing ants moving their homes.
It was exceptionally interesting.
It wasn’t until the class leader called to urge him that Su Bai came back to reality.
…
At the entrance of the Guangcheng No. 3 Middle School,
returning here a day later,
Su Bai felt a surreal sense of disconnection.
“Stop looking; finish the meat buns before going in.”
Chi Lanshu nonchalantly handed over five large meat buns.
She knew Su Bai had a big appetite and bought extras on purpose.
Su Bai took them without hesitation, and the two walked side by side through the school gate.
On the way, they greeted some junior students.
“Isn’t that Chi Xuejie who awakened at 20 kilometers?”
“I heard the world’s energy has mutated; its future is limitless. This time for the college entrance exam, she’ll surely be in the top three in Guangcheng.”
“Impressive! A lifetime of… no, maybe even eternal life!”
“We’re in two different worlds now; a hundred years later, we’ll probably be dust, while she becomes a true god, immortal, high above.”
…….
“Who would have thought you’d become such a big deal?”
After finishing their meat buns, Su Bai teased.
“It’s so annoying; I don’t want to attract attention. I just want to do my own thing.”
Chi Lanshu playfully stuck out her little tongue, her face full of helplessness.
The two intended to find their homeroom teacher but learned she was in the principal’s office.
So they decided to go there together.
Unexpectedly, they ran into their nemesis, Xiang Hu, who was also in the principal’s office.
In the 40-square-meter principal’s office were Teacher Li, Class 3 homeroom teacher Teacher Lü,
along with the principal and three students.
The atmosphere was quite awkward.
“Chi classmate, are you here regarding the frozen world?”
Teacher Li asked proactively:
“After hearing your call last night, the principal and I researched it overnight.
To ascertain the details, we need to personally visit the rehearsal room and project the world.”
“What happened to her world?”
Xiang Hu, unaware of the situation, looked confused.
His homeroom teacher explained:
“It’s because of the favor of destiny. While others were battered by cosmic storms, and could not avoid destruction, they still suffered severe losses.”
“She, on the other hand, received magical properties,
causing her world to mutate, adding ice energy, turning her underlings into snowmen.”
“If nothing goes wrong, Chi classmate might be the top student in the college entrance exam.”
Teacher Lü assessed, lamenting that she wasn’t in Class 3.
Xiang Hu’s face was filled with shock upon hearing this.
“Stronger than my Lizardman?!”
“Just happens to counter you!”
Teacher Lü seemed to say this inadvertently:
“Speaking of which, your Lizardman counts as a distant dragon descendant. This time I secured an extremely precious B-level bloodline card for you.
If it strengthens and awakens a fire-type bloodline,
it will complement Chi classmate’s ice and snow world, drastically increasing the evolution speed.”
“It can also prevent the Lizardman from spontaneously combusting to death.”
Upon hearing this, Xiang Hu’s expression changed dramatically.
He looked at Chi Lanshu with even more intense eyes.
That was an unreserved fiery intention, almost as if he wanted to swallow her whole, bones and all.
Chi Lanshu frowned slightly, glancing at Teacher Lü, stepping back a little.
She sidestepped behind Su Bai.
“Is Teacher Lü trying to get your student to steal my precious class leader?”
Teacher Li, not one to back down, said bluntly:
“As a mentor, your previous words had quite a hint of inducement.”
“That’s not true; she’s your most outstanding student, the strongest seed in the entire school. How could I dare to induce?”
Teacher Lü vehemently denied it.
The principal, looking like an old man, sat in the chair, watching with a smile.
The atmosphere became slightly tense.
“Teacher Lü is indeed wrong. How can a toad eat swan meat?”
“How can a snow woman marry a Lizardman?”
Suddenly, a voice full of disdain rang out,
echoing throughout the principal’s office, igniting the atmosphere completely!
No one expected that the one to ignite the flames would be Su Bai.
Chi Lanshu’s mouth slightly opened, her clear eyes staring blankly at his back.
From that not-so-broad back, she felt an unprecedented sense of reliability and safety.
Teacher Li looked at him in surprise.
The principal raised an eyebrow, his smiling eyes turned to Su Bai as if he were seeing him for the first time.
As for Teacher Lü, he was left fuming with anger.
Xiang Hu was so enraged he trembled.
