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

Old Cat always thought about problems from a practical standpoint.

These words were quite realistic indeed.

Unless Lu Yuan never used "Spatial Teleportation" to cross the Safe Zone, now was indeed the best time to try. Even if it failed, he could afford the corresponding price.

Otherwise, his companions would have to wait six or seven years for his resurrection!

"Additionally, there’s one more thing… The Rize Civilization is a second-generation civilization," Old Cat said solemnly. "Since they have a drop of the Ghost’s blood, they definitely have other good stuff."

"You go to that second-generation civilization and fetch some good stuff, especially the intelligence about the Ghost. Make sure to thoroughly investigate."

"You make it sound like I’m going to steal. I’m going there to trade fairly!" Lu Yuan argued assertively. "How could I, noble in character, stoop to stealing or looting?"

"But you think about playing with the opposite sex until you bleed from your nose."

"What? What did you say?" Lu Yuan charged over and fiercely grabbed that damned cat’s head.

Old Cat resisted with its paws.

A scuffle broke out between the two.

"Ahem, then could you help notify them? In case the Rize people don’t welcome me… At least let them know in advance."

He was a little nervous, feeling like he had gone from a city office worker to a head of state, stepping onto the red carpet and basking in a warm welcome.

"The return of the warrior god, finding his sister living in a kennel—At his command, a hundred thousand troops of the Rize Civilization rushed over and obliterated human civilization!"

Old Cat: …

Well, alien civilizations and humans are inherently different, but the thought of interacting indeed triggered a bout of social anxiety.

He had been too isolated for too long, spending his days talking to a madcat.

But crossing the Safe Zone was indeed a huge temptation.

It wasn’t just about contacting the Rize Civilization; he could also communicate face-to-face with humans and even see his family! Have a video call!

"If the Rize people don’t welcome you, such a civilization rightly deserves extinction," Old Cat said ungraciously.

It definitely acknowledged the "comrade’s" achievments.

Afterward, Old Cat started contacting via radio, it had already obtained a lot of information, and decoding the Rize Civilization’s language was just a matter of time. On the Pangu Continent, under a hundredfold speed of time flow, the progress wasn’t bad.

Lu Yuan, meanwhile, selected a good spot outside the Sky Pit and replanted the Tree of Life.

He buried the Spirit Crystal and the carcass of the Monster under the tree roots.

The tiny Cannibal Flower was continuously nibbling on the body of the Monster.

Considering the digestion speed, it might take a good year and a half?

Lu Yuan was actually looking forward to seeing what changes would occur when the Tree of Life devoured the Monster…

Of course, he indeed had to wait until the tree produced another fruit before he could embark on another journey.

This world was too dangerous.

You didn’t need anomalies of Catastrophe Level; ordinary ones could make him wipe out.

These years, he had nothing better to do anyway, so why not cross the Safe Zone and meet with the Rize Civilization!

…

…

"Report! A phantom mountain has appeared in the Pangu Continent!"

"Part of the mountain has crossed the Safe Zone, covering a portion of the farmland! "

It was midnight.

From the Seventh Branch of the Rize Civilization, a reconnaissance team sent a startling message that shocked the entire civilization.

"What… what?!" The news reached Governor Leon’s ears, and he bolted upright in his bedroom, looking toward the southern sky.

The mountain that had crossed the Safe Zone was indeed very conspicuous.

It seemed as though it truly existed.

Even at night, the trees and grass on the mountain swayed in the wind were still observable.

It was definitely not any mirage!

Suddenly, a lot of lights near the command center lit up, shining towards the mountain.

Many of the Rize Civilization’s upper echelons woke up from their rest.

In less than ten minutes, the conference room was packed with people.

"My friends, the Monster… might have been killed!" In the seventh minute, Kabane, the chief supernaturalist, began shouting excitedly.

He was a "Whisperer."

He believed in his intuition!

"The death of the Monster is causing materials from the Different Space to fall from different dimensions into the real world!"

"This is the most likely possibility!!"

"Look at this mountain, although currently only a phantom shadow, it has already affected the celestial phenomena… It’s unknown when it will officially return to the real world."

"The Whisperer’s ability tells me, approximately 10 days!"

A violent thunderstorm suddenly erupted, adding a touch of coolness to the fervent atmosphere of joy.

How this happened? How the Monster actually died?

Unknown.

The Rize people had already despaired, receiving their last bit of information: Lu Yuan was preparing for a desperate fight!

Then, the telepathy link was completely cut off!

In that terrifying cave, after struggling for more than ten days, with ammunition depleted and mental states nearing collapse, how could one kill a "Monster"?

It really was an unsolved mystery.

Even, it could be described as a miracle!

At this moment, Leon was also somewhat excited, thinking about the heroes who had died in the cave, he couldn’t help but wipe away tears.

But he wasn’t blinded by the sudden and inexplicable victory, instead, he knocked firmly on the table and said sternly, "Let’s not hurry to celebrate! Is there a possibility that the ’Monster’ isn’t dead and it just wants to launch a final assault?"

"It thinks it can take us down."

"So it simply materializes, bringing the mountain with it."

"Even, our Safe Zone, could turn into the ’Monster’s territory? Everyone, could this be possible!"

All of a sudden, everyone fell silent.

Even the chief scientist, Kabane, looked solemn and did not deny it.

One is the best outcome, the other the worst.

One side Heaven, the other Hell.

These two outcomes were laid before the many people of Rize, letting them fully experience what is called "bittersweet." n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

However, no matter the discussion, there was no conclusion.

In the end, it was Governor Leon who gave the orders, "Evacuate all personnel and materials urgently! Don’t get crushed by the mountain!"

"Before the mountain fully materializes, hurry and evacuate the surrounding population! Minimize casualties."

Only then did everyone realize this was indeed the more crucial issue.

The shadow of that mountain peak was not very far, just about 5 kilometers, but it overlapped with some residences and farmland. When the spaces overlap, a catastrophic disaster could very likely occur!

Many soldiers began the process of emergency evacuation and emergency salvage of materials.

Some more valuable items still needed to be moved out, and those houses that couldn’t be moved were a lost cause.

"Heavy firepower, complete the adjustments as soon as possible."

"We need to prepare ourselves to fight a hard war!"

After issuing the orders, Leon took a deep breath.

He was thinking, there was a third possibility.

What if the ’Monster’ isn’t dead, just severely injured, what should we do?

But in the narrow cave, facing a life form with deceiving abilities, would deploying a large army really be effective? That indeed warranted a question mark.

"Governor, our industrial production capacity has not been restored. The firearms and ammunition we can provide are not very plentiful,"

"Our oil reserves are quite limited... these are all one-time resources."

The practical difficulties were too many.

Leon waved his hand, "Generals, we need to prepare for the worst mentally."

"Don’t worry about the resource issue, this is a war of life and death, push all the reserves forward! Don’t be stingy."

"Once that mountain’s dimension falls, we’ll immediately dispatch troops, search the cave, and plant explosives."

"Assuming the ’Monster’ is really severely injured, we must strike while it’s weak and take its life."

"Even if it isn’t injured, we still need to hit it hard."

He gritted his teeth, "If we really can’t match it, we can only abandon the Safe Zone and flee across the Pangu Continent. We..."

Even the foreknowledge ability users were somewhat disoriented at this moment. Fleeing across the Pangu Continent, could they really survive? He didn’t know; he was just silently praying that this scene would not happen.

"Hopefully, it’s good news."

The military quickly established 5 elite investigative teams, each team consisting of 6 people, all superpower users.

Since many areas of the cave were quite narrow, having too many people would be pointless.

Meanwhile, Leon returned to his room and touched the metal communicator.

The communication with humans had been fruitful, in just over ten days, both sides had established quite a good friendship.

"If the ’Monster’ is truly dead, the human warrior Lu Yuan, must have played a critical role... But is he still alive?"

Politics is indeed a very complex thing, sometimes it needs someone alive, and sometimes it needs someone dead.

In the present situation, it was obviously better that Lu Yuan was alive.

Nowadays, the only link between human and Rize civilization was Lu Yuan alone. Only if this one human lives can the interactions deepen further, otherwise it would remain superficial, merely at the acquaintance stage.

Besides, only if Lu Yuan is alive can it be assured that the ’Monster’ is truly dead!

Leon sighed deeply, even predictive ability couldn’t see the direction of fate.

At that moment, the communicator suddenly rang.

It was not from humans but from another city of Rize civilization.

"Lord Leon, what’s the deal with this shadow of the mountain?"

"The ’Monster’... is it dead?" the leaders of these cities were exhilarated, discussing excitedly, "And that gentleman, is he still alive?"

They really couldn’t understand how one could kill such a troublesome anomaly.

"Don’t know, situation unclear," Leon said, "Once this mountain peak appears in our Safe Zone, we’ll immediately arrange personnel to search it!"
