Chapter 1146: Chapter 670: Turtle Civilization Reinforcements Arrive! “As per the agreement, the majority of the population in the city will enter the Northern Territory to help you manage the civilization there and attempt to construct a planet-level engine in the future.” “And a small portion of the population… will stay in the Ruins of Buzhou to back you up. This batch of supplies includes extraordinary consumables worth 3.02 million Spirit Essence, renewable materials such as wood, rubber, insect glue, animal scales and fur, worth 2.12 million Spirit Essence. Non-renewable materials…” Lu Yuan’s nose was incredibly sensitive. With millions of Spirit Essence worth of goods hidden in that small city, he felt like his heart was about to leap out. The amount was indeed somewhat exaggerated. Even the “Greedy Demon God” of an entire world couldn’t help but imagine just how immense several million Spirit Essence could be. If Old Cat found out, would he go mad on the spot? Of course, on the surface, he remained serious: “Your support really helps a lot.” “I can guarantee that the Northern Territory is a perfect utopian paradise, and also our best future fallback base.” “However, your city is too large to directly fit into my [Earth Escape· Shuttle]… It may need to be transported in many batches.” “That’s naturally not a problem.” Gui Wu waved his hand. “This city carries an Annihilation Cannon Tower, with considerable combat capability.” “It doesn’t intend to enter the Northern Territory itself, but to stay here and execute combat missions. If it isn’t destroyed in war, it might as well be given to your Human Civilization.” Lu Yuan’s pupils slightly enlarged. Before Old Lu could get excited, Gui Wu changed his tone: “Lord Lu Yuan, I must give you a fair warning first.” “The elite of our Turtle Civilization are all in this city. This is a huge investment… in terms of both human resources and materials…” “They are all with faith, willing to strive for overcoming the Epoch Disaster for a lifetime, noble beings.” “Most people don’t know your true identity.” “If you wish to command them, you’ll need their recognition, especially since our Turtle Civilization has taken in quite a few Strangers from the previous era. These people are of noble birth; without real strength, it’s difficult to earn their respect.” “Isn’t Field Industrialization enough?” Lu Yuan asked. “It’s enough… but you should understand that things within expectations don’t bring surprises, only those beyond expectations can win people’s hearts.” “First, we want to know your actual combat capability…” Three [Demons] stepped forward, their eyes hidden in the mist, casting an indistinct glance. Lu Yuan was stunned for a moment, then laughed: “I understand your intentions… Feel free to use whatever means you wish!” Before he finished speaking, one of the [Demons] shrouded in mist moved, releasing a dense gray fog around its body. In the blink of an eye, Lu Yuan was completely engulfed by darkness! The Turtle-men standing in front of him also vanished, replaced by blurry outlines of creatures. There were humanoid black clouds with limbs flailing, animal-type dark clouds, skeleton types, and even massive bodies of ancient races. These shadowy creatures crowded together, menacingly facing Lu Yuan, ready to pounce at any moment. Lu Yuan’s eyes flashed, not only without panic but deliberately sensing this strange Divine Skill. “The [Demons] of the Ancient Era were designed to take over [Ghosts], hence possessing a series of ability linkages.” Each [Demon]’s physical body was crafted from high-level materials as puppets, genuinely high in combat strength. However, modern [Demons], having taken over intelligent beings, have actually seen a drop in combat prowess. The wind and clouds shifted around. One group of mist rapidly transformed into a fifty-meter-tall giant, a serpent-like creature tens of meters in length, and a tall creature wielding a Wolf Fang Club. The three giants charged at Lu Yuan from three directions! A fierce wind surged in! If lacking sufficient combat experience, even Little Mirage Dragon-level combat capability could easily be overwhelmed by this onslaught.

The gap in strength was too vast; with a “hiss,” the impact echoed, red light surged, and the mist giant was pulverized into dust with a single punch. A slime-like substance splattered, with bone-like objects spinning and falling to the ground. The Mist [Demon] seemed unprepared for such a disparity, immediately retreating the other two giants into the fog. Lu Yuan bent down, picked up a bone, and pondered for a while: “I see; this mist giant isn’t conjured out of thin air, but requires some puppet entities.” “Since they are my future subordinates, I shouldn’t destroy their entire combat prowess.” He intended to hold back his strength, using only about a tenth of it. Even though they knew of Lu Yuan’s notable combat capability, witnessing it firsthand left many Turtle-men startled. “Though the mist giant isn’t the top combatant, being easily broken by the Eternal Spark indicates a massive quality difference… to the extent that testing Lu Yuan’s trump cards isn’t feasible.” “Very… very normal. He can walk freely in the Boundaryless after all…” “Then what’s left to test? Creating a mist giant… requires corresponding corpses!” “Weren’t you the ones who insisted on seeing it with your own eyes?”
