Chapter 185: Chapter 185: The Rapid Development of Civilization
Even now, Wakah felt somewhat dazed when he sensed the life force surging within the earth.
His Talent Quality was not high, initially only White; it was after the first Civilization Trial that he was promoted to Blue. However, his type of Talent and Profession were highly aligned with the pursuits of the Senya people.
—Life Priest.
This profession made him extremely sensitive to life force.
Thus, he could clearly perceive the astonishing life force that the “World Tree” brought to this planet!
It was not just the quantity, but also the quality.
Their Life Mother Tree could also bring prosperity to nature and life force.
But compared to this “World Tree,” the difference was like that between a child and a High Priest, without any basis for comparison.
“This is the power of the Golden Legend.” Wakah recalled the information he had received, and even in his immense excitement, he couldn’t help but exclaim once more.
At first, he had thought that the powerful God had taken an interest in their Life Mother Tree, which was why they were asked to have the entire Senya Civilization join. But now, he no longer thought so; just the World Tree alone was more powerful than their Life Mother Tree!
Besides, the atmosphere of this planet also contained a unique and astounding force.
It allowed any species, any living creature to survive here!

And those towering structures that reached into the clouds were said to be Treasures known as “Sky Barriers,” also of the Golden Legend level!
If the Senya people possessed such Treasures, they wouldn’t have been easily obliterated by the bombardment from the Desert Tower Civilization.
The depth of Human Civilization was too great!
The more he understood, the more astonished he became.
Looking at the land in front of him being ravaged by cold waves and blizzards, feeling the life force buried beneath the earth, his mindset had quietly changed during this time. He was gradually nurturing more hope for the future of this planet and the Senya people.
They had lost their homeland, but in exchange, they had gained a greater chance to survive the trial of civilization!
“Let’s begin,” Wakah said to Ni Hong beside him.
“Okay,” Ni Hong nodded, filled with expectation as well.
His current position was nothing ordinary; he was the chief person in charge of the entire civilization’s Underground City Construction project, extremely busy.
He still came here in person to preside over the construction of this Underground City despite such circumstances because this was the first time the Senya people were participating.
He even took several steps back at this moment, handing the stage over to the Senya people.
Thousands of Senya people quickly dispersed to various locations, taking out a seed with great care and placing it into the soil.
Then, with a resonance with nature, all the Senya people began to chant simultaneously.
Life Force was gathering, and the enormous life force from within the land was being mobilized as well. These meticulously cultivated seeds were taking root and sprouting at a remarkable rate.
Not much was on the surface, just short and stout branches that were rapidly frozen under the extreme cold waves. However, the roots underground were thriving; under the guidance of the nature priests, they were rapidly spreading deeper, becoming more and more abundant and robust.
Massive amounts of soil were compressed, even rolling up, surging from the depths.
In Ni Hong’s eyes, which reflected the underground detection data sent in real-time by precise detection devices, an uncontrollable excitement shined.
Because it was too fast!
The growth rate of these plants was too quick, their efficiency too high!
The footage clearly showed the permafrost, which was extremely difficult for humans to dig through, shattering and excavating at a swift pace under the power of plant roots.
In many places, the empty cavities unearthed didn’t even require reinforcement with high-strength materials; these robust roots were the best reinforcement, even forcefully creating one underground wooden cabin after another!
“Maintaining this efficiency, and with our cooperation and improvements, we’ll need only about fifteen to sixteen days to build an Underground City that can accommodate a million people to work and live in!” Ni Hong quickly got the data.
It might seem like more time was needed, but the cost had been significantly reduced!
Every Underground City built before had consumed the labor and resources of millions of people!
Otherwise, there wouldn’t have been just six hundred projects started simultaneously.
No matter how many were started, the support couldn’t keep up.
But now, this consumption had been reduced by more than tenfold!
It was possible to start work on six thousand all at once!
This meant that in just over ten days, all of Human Civilization would enter the Underground Cities!
The Eternal Night Ice River would even require more than a month to reach full effect!
“If someone had told us a month and a half ago that we would have the opportunity to build thousands of Underground Cities within fifteen days, we would never have believed it,” Ni Hong couldn’t help but say, “but now, it has become a reality.”
“We are also immensely astonished by this speed,” Wakah heard these words and turned his head to speak, “The World Tree possesses indescribable power, having increased the growth rate of seeds by at least five times compared to our homeland!”
It was evident that the amazement expressed by Wakah wasn’t mere flattery; every Senya person present was profoundly shocked.
Though they were able to sense the high Quality of the Life Force, such an effect was far beyond their expectations!
However, what they didn’t know was that Shen Hao, to accelerate the World Tree’s cultivation, had forcibly infused it with trillions worth of the Life Spring!
Yes, trillions!
By now, the size of the World Tree could rival that of the Mage Tower, and the area of the Chosen One Association’s headquarters island, originally not large, had more than doubled in size.
The expanded part was woven from the roots of the World Tree.
In comparison, the Life Mother Tree next to it looked like a little sister.
Pathetically small, it stood beside, appearing rather delicate.
Nevertheless, the Life Mother Tree, too, had benefited immensely from the colossal consumption of the Life Spring, with major healing of its damage, and its roots growing rapidly each day.
Before long, it would spread across the entire planet as well.
Shen Hao could also feel that its Consciousness was growing quickly, becoming more fluent in conversation and increasingly cognizant.
While to the Senya people, the Life Mother Tree seemed like a country girl frolicking in the fields compared to the World Tree’s princess in a palace, from Shen Hao’s perspective, the Life Mother Tree held immense potential. Despite its current weakness, the innate status of a God was its most valuable foundation, wholly deserving of nurturing.
It could even be considered the greatest treasure from the Senya Civilization!
At that moment, the good news about the Underground City construction also reached Shen Hao swiftly.
This allowed Shen Hao to breathe a sigh of relief.
The reason he had expended vast amounts of points to cultivate the Life Mother Tree was exactly to accelerate the construction of the Underground City.
After all, following migration, the population on the Human Mother Planet would surge by several hundred million. Moreover, from the standpoint of both alliance and the crisis of the Undead, the eighty-plus million Sky Spirit People of Sky Spirit Planet could not be ignored—the Magic Barrier might not truly withstand the Eternal Night Ice River.
Already, a small number of “Heat Black Holes” had breached the Magic Barrier and appeared within the city, and despite the Sky Spirit People relying on support from Human Civilization’s transport spaceships for emergency population transport, such incidents could very well increase unpredictably.
“To meet the Trial’s requirements, one must possess the ability for long-term survival and further development within the Trial.” Shen Hao pondered, “If the completion of the Underground City’s construction still doesn’t qualify as passing, then we must be vigilant.”
This meant that a crisis capable of threatening them must still exist.
Shen Hao ordered to further accelerate the construction of the Underground City.
One must not slow down construction efficiency due to seemingly lenient time conditions.
Besides, all other domains should quickly assimilate new forces.
The various equipment transported from the Desert Tower Civilization had also been progressively transported into the completed Underground City.
Including over three million technicians.
Most of these technicians were partially modified; control over their privileges was fully transferred, and they were further mastered through Shen Hao’s Dominator pressure.
Currently scattered across various industrial production zones, they were managed directly by specialized personnel.
Related reports were also quickly compiled and delivered to Shen Hao. Overall, there were no issues with this batch of people thus far, and Human Civilization’s own scientists were eagerly learning various technologies from the Desert Tower Civilization, while various industrial equipment was rapidly integrated into the production in different fields.
Just on the first day, a production line of modified transport machines had already been put into production.
The produced transport machines reached the Quality of Blue Level 14.
While not high, the cost had been reduced to one-tenth compared to purchasing finished products with points.
Furthermore, with the improvement of technology and craft, costs could be further lowered.
Higher-level industrial production, such as Cosmic Transporters and Space Battleships, was also being rapidly digested.
Once this round of spoils of war was completely assimilated, Human Civilization’s technological level would comprehensively rise to Level 14, even possessing the capability to mass-produce Warships!
A few days later, the Mongolian people also began to arrive gradually.
Shen Hao had ordered them to bring back at least three hundred million people, and in the end, that was precisely the number they brought back.
They barely managed to fulfill Shen Hao’s initial command.
A Species that followed both Martial Arts and technology should exude robust vigor and high fighting spirit.
Yet, when they arrived at the Human Mother Planet, they were filled with a sense of defeat, even bearing obvious signs of nervousness and unease.
Even the leading Mongolians, when facing the Human in charge, kept their heads down, appearing restrained.
Clearly, the Trial had dealt a heavy blow to the entire Species.
Nonetheless, arrangements had already been made for them by the Global United Front.
