Lords: From Civilization to the Stars

"What? Building a player city all of a sudden? Are the higher-ups crazy?"

"A tower built to imitate the Antarctic fulcrum? Because it's the first time a player has obtained a blueprint for a magic building, so we have to build it to try to reproduce the building environment? Try to see if we can build a magic building in reality?"

"Doesn't that require the psychic beacon of the Negative Star to operate successfully? Anyway, let's not worry about it, let's try to see if we can do it? Because in this way, even if we use the player's magic power, we can make delay-free calls within the solar system? No, no, no, the distance is too far, you should at least take a look at the Earth-Moon system first?"

"So we decided to replicate a tower in the Antarctic environment? Do you know how much it will cost?"

"Huh? Everyone agrees? The church also agreed with the funding? What church? What other church can there be?"

"The Church of the Lord of the Negative Star? What the hell? Is this world crazy?"

Such conversations are heard all over the world.

The world will not stagnate because of someone's actions, nor will it move forward madly because of someone's fantasy. For the player's world, the exploration of another world is obviously a hot topic.

Especially when Edward began to bring about the blessing of the Chaos Gods, this discussion gradually fell into a frenzy. Because the real world is too depressing and boring, everyone is in a strong internal friction, trying to express their personality and show themselves with various behaviors.

So the existence of players, another world, and different lives almost make everyone have a strong frenzy.

There are live broadcasts of various worlds, various commercial behaviors, and large consortiums and related industries have begun to move in at a high speed, and even the so-called player city is being built in full swing.

So as the only one listed as a player-friendly area, and even the architectural drawings of magic buildings are given, the negative star psychic spire, to be honest, is voted to be established. It's just that it's a bit confusing, and even a bit weird, that the psychic spire was finalized a little too quickly.

Although this is the first time that players have taken out something real about the magic system, it's still a bit too radical to build it directly.

And the big news that followed was that at a dance party, a rich second-generation young man used some special methods to take down Edward, causing the other party to temporarily lose his ability to speak and also have some stiffness. This kind of thing immediately aroused public excitement, and various warning letters and threatening books emerged one after another.

Of course, this kind of ups and downs in the outside world actually do not interfere with the players' lifestyles. Now the players have gradually divided into two more obvious factions.

One is the assimilation faction that truly regards the other world as their home and is operating it, and even wants to survive there.

The other is the advent faction that has always insisted that they are players and the other world is just their playground. The conflict between the two actually exists because of Leon. Because the attack on Leon led to some advent faction players being convicted of crimes, a group of people claimed that this was a destruction of human rights, so a lot of messy things were created.

As for how chaotic it is, what kind of moth things have exploded outside, and what kind of crises have erupted around the world, Leon actually doesn't know much. Or he doesn't bother to care even if he knows. The incarnation just sat in the cabin, looking at the sky covered by black snowflakes, and sighed.

"Ah~~~ It's really quiet now. The demons didn't send troops to attack our gathering place, it seems to be pretty good. I thought it was a bit too late to build the psychic spire directly, but it's still pretty good now."

Squinting his eyes, he looked at the faint golden light emerging in the darkness. The light from nowhere shone on the psychic spire, and Leon squinted his eyes a little comfortably, enjoying this good time.

The demons are a group of guys who are more likely to cause trouble than to do good things. In fact, Leon still overestimated them.

Because someone betrayed, it's not a problem to fight a melee.

Because there was a big melee, no one cared about what happened to the players on the beach.

The will of the four gods of chaos is of course the most absolute, but when the opinions between each other conflict, it is natural to give priority to their own ideas.

You see, didn't the God of Joy take action first? The big guy resisted a little and expressed his fierce opinions. It doesn't seem to be a big problem, right? As for why so many demons died after expressing their opinions, it was because they were expressing their opinions.

The demons don't care why it turned out like this and what the deep reasons are.

These monsters who pursue their own nature are just immersed in their own plans. Now that the light of the four gods has been broken, they naturally choose to go to their own melee path.

Even players can often see groups of demons roaring and fighting each other in the valley. Although the culprit players are less than five kilometers away from them, these demons still give priority to killing demons from other factions dozens of kilometers away.

Because the souls of the players are really not good for the demons, nor are they good-looking.

Under such strange circumstances, the first psychic tower standing at the Antarctic landing site was quickly established, and the psychic shield appointed by Li Ang began to unfold in the surrounding environment.

Those pale golden lights were like flames, burning on the surrounding soil, bringing layer after layer of golden light and shadow. Even if you look towards the sky within the envelope, you can vaguely see the Wound of the World far away at the North Pole, as well as the huge psychic lighthouse that looks like an eyeball.

The feeling of being in their own environment makes players feel more at ease. With the expansion of the route and the assistance of the Elf Outpost, ship after ship of supplies began to be transported to this Antarctic landing point. In full swing, infrastructure and urban defense construction projects have begun to be carried out in the entire region. The Star Negatives were kind enough to solidify area after area with runes, and even taught players some convenient ways to create boundaries.

Although these methods basically don't make much sense without psychic abilities, for players, this kind of respected goodwill is really the first time in history.

The lives of all the players are basically the same as those of rats crossing the street. Even the ratmen, who were very friendly at the beginning, began to use their wits after the players sent the supplies and established a stronghold. All the players and materials in the pit were eaten, causing tens of thousands of mental injuries and a large amount of materials disappearing.

Currently, the main areas of activity for players in the old world are Obion Island, Hope City, and the newly developed Antarctic Fulcrum. This may seem a bit shabby, but for the person in control, there is nothing wrong with it.

Whether the players come or not, as long as they complete their tasks, Li Ang has no idea.

It is still in the preparation stage, and the demons are still not sure what their thoughts are, so naturally there is no need to alert the snake. Let the players build their own homes first, then expand them step by step along the coastline, and finally take them away with a thunder blow.

By then the demons would have no time to react. Since those strange wonder components have been in this Antarctic for such a long time, it is unlikely to be lost directly without any major stimulation.

Therefore, during this rare development period, Li Ang did not rush the players. Instead, he lay on the cabin with sunglasses and lazily basked in the sun.

Just like a mature capitalist or a tyrant in ancient times, the elf sisters were dressed very sexy, and a girl with golden talisman stitching marks between her lips and teeth were serving Li Ang and watching. The golden man talks about his views on demons.

"Of course they will not unite, because the meaning of life is to spread. Free thought, free life, and the ideal mode of expressing oneself without restraint. This is the manifestation of the devil."

"..."

"But we are different. We represent their opposite, pure destruction and death. They will eventually encounter us. Why can the Pale Army frighten all life? Because that is what is impossible, that is, there is no The living thing of the soul.”

"..."

"You ask me why I can create this kind of monster? Because I have always believed that the soul is something that should not exist. If it existed, then many sacrifices, consciousness, and ideas would become meaningless things. If it is true that the noble soul will always exist in the world, then why is the world still like this? So what survives must not be the soul."

"..."

"The soul did not exist from the beginning. It is just a shadow cast by human thoughts and actions in the subspace. And the Pale Army I created is actually something like a single-sided glass. For demons It's scary, but if you understand it carefully, you will find that being without a soul is not something to be afraid of. The soul itself is an attached concept. There are many people who live without being aware of the soul, so what's the point of witnessing a soulless person. So scary? It’s just something like this.”

"..."

"So you have to admire my craftsmanship, Edward. I saved you from the endless abyss, saved you from the infinite emptiness and hunger, but all you need is to be loyal to me. Not even It doesn’t require you to do anything, and it doesn’t require you to respond. This is my grace.”

"..."

Edward, who was pale and had light golden runes branded on his body, was looking at Li Ang who was sitting in the cabin and talking nonsense, and gradually showed a deep expression of contempt.

Edward was no longer pure purple now. It was as if it had been flattened by a huge hammer and then reshaped. The originally perfect body was covered with golden cracks, and streams of fire and marks emerged from it from time to time, and then were suppressed in the body again. .

Strictly speaking, the current Edward is nothing. The Pale Army doesn't even begin to sum up this man's current state. This leader of players can still maintain his reputation in the outside world, purely because the illusion skills mastered by Li Ang are basically not much different from the changes in reality. No one has noticed that the cute pure purple girl has been shattered into pieces. It looks like this.

But no matter what, she survived. It is not certain whether she is alive or not, and it is not certain whether she has past thoughts or not. After experiencing pure destruction and ruthless baptism, this former Chosen God of Slaanesh still struggled to leave her body.

For this individual, Leon is grateful. Because of the analysis of this individual, the progress of the Path of Joy has begun to reach the same level as the other three paths.

It seems that the God of Joy is really concerned about this naive player, and even gave him quite high authority and attention.

It's just that this attention soon turned into a heavy blow to the Antarctic Continent's barrier.

But so what? Leon felt that the dark gods would definitely not be angry.

When playing games, of course you have to play with a smile. Since your world is such a great game, why would you be annoyed by such an accident? Shouldn't you feel very happy about this change?

At least Leon is very happy now. Because he found many sources of some special phenomena in the player world and the current world, and his spiritual power has also been expanded a lot. Even in the player world, he can reproduce the power of many miracles and wonders that he has mastered.

This is enough, he has been convinced of many things.

And there is more good news. As the players' expedition team gradually deepens, a series of news begins to gradually come out from his message prompts.

Although a large number of players build their own homes in the city, there are also more players who do not like this constrained style, so they actively start to launch dangerous challenges to the dark Antarctic continent. And yesterday, one of the challengers successfully got a bounty of 100 gold coins.

Because his discovery was even recorded in the prompt by Leon's civilization system.

'The unit you hired is exploring the Antarctic continent and passing the message to your psychic network. '

'The unit you hired discovered a planet-level natural wonder: Demon Rift'
