I became a god by treasure hunting after arriving 500 years early-Chapter 506
Chapter 506: Chapter 373: The Causes and Summary of War Chapter 506: Chapter 373: The Causes and Summary of War Submarines captured from the South Island Civilization, a total of…
three!
Lu Yuan’s eyes instantly lit up, a glimmer of hope for survival emerging.
He even felt a subtle touch of emotion; he was not alone now, behind him…
there was a civilization, the strength of countless people.
There was no need to shoulder everything himself!
“Find a way to get on the UFO!”
But clearly, it was somewhat difficult for the submarines to face so many monsters.
...
These metal constructs had just been captured, and the operating systems inside were anything but familiar; it was good enough that they could move at all.
Moreover, using large-scale lethal weapons here might accidentally destroy the UFO, and then all would be lost.
Fortunately, on the human side, there were many clever people.
After a brief discussion, a Spirit Rune was launched.
“Whoosh!”
The Spirit Storm formed a small water spout that cleared some of the monsters at the entrance.
Seizing this opportunity, the submarines slowly made their way over, approaching the entrance where a large group of armed human warriors “splashed” in.
There were also some war puppets among them.
The lowest-level warriors were Level Four.
Because Level Four couldn’t endure the Deformation fog, they operated war puppets to fight, totaling over forty in all!
Additionally, there were more than thirty Level 5 Warriors and six Level Six Warriors!
Leading them, Guo Dafeng saluted, “Green City’s elite fighting team, at your command!”

Lu Yuan gripped his fist tightly, feeling a burning passion of power: “Elite fighting team, we cannot use firearms here, only cold weapons.”
“Let’s fight together, keep the enemies outside the door!
We can definitely get through this disaster.”
“Yes!”
…
With the addition of over a hundred warriors, the fight inside the UFO had obviously lightened a lot.
But these strange beings were countless in number, flooding in like hornets, and Lu Yuan also had to employ some tactics.
“They are numerous but only ordinary in strength.”
“We need to avoid unnecessary casualties.”
He split the hundred plus warriors into two shifts to alternate rest.
At the same time, he asked the Level Six Grandmasters to keep a slight watch, so that the soldiers wouldn’t be overwhelmed by the Deformation monsters.
Moreover, the elite team had an even more important task: to tie up the UFO with ropes, to facilitate the subsequent lifting operation.
Fighting in the deep sea, even with a hundred human warriors added in, there was still a possibility of being worn down after ten days to half a month.
But if they fought in Sky City, then the Insect Soldiers and various heavy firepower could also join in, and the monsters would soon be eliminated.
However, Lu Yuan was incapable of undertaking the task of “tying up the UFO,” as he had only one arm left, the other being a vine, making even tying a knot in a rope incredibly difficult.
In the end, it had to be left to Lieutenant Colonel Lu Fengying, a Level 5 warrior, who possessed a Divine Skill, “Telekinesis,” which could remotely control ropes, making her more suitable than Lu Yuan.
“With Big Golden’s cover, we guarantee the completion of the task!”
Lieutenant Colonel Lu Fengying saluted, “We have left a small boat on the sea surface, with the other end of the rope tied to it.
When Sky City arrives in this sea area, the UFO can be lifted.”
“But first, we need Big Golden to rest for a while.
This isn’t a simple task.
We need to examine the mechanical structure of the UFO to find the appropriate places to tie it up without breaking the ship apart.”
The Little Mirage Dragon lay on the ground, belching out a breath of fire, then a breath of ice, to show that it was not tired at all!
Then it spat out some spit.

Laughter of relief spontaneously resonated in the air.
Lu Yuan couldn’t help but laugh: “Today, you truly are an excellent warrior.”
“And Mr.
Turtle!”
“Is a superior warrior.”
Then…
the wave of Deformation monsters came once again…
…
…
This might be humanity’s first time resisting a disaster related to [Ghosts], even if it was just the repercussions, it was complicated enough.
Most civilians had no choice but to hide in the Ultimate Shelter within the Sky Pit for emergency hibernation.
And the Tree of Life spread a faint light, shielding the Sky Pit.
The powers of [Demons] and [Ghosts] counteracted each other, with the Tree of Life expanding and its shadowy leaves covering the entrance of the Sky Pit.
The leaves emitted a faint green glow, and after a round of filtration, the air inside became breathable.
Only the soldiers and a small number of workers had no choice but to put on fully sealed protective suits to operate in the thick fog.
“Report!
Something is climbing up from the edge of Sky City!”
“No need to bother with that for now, we just need to defend Green Mountain,” Jin Dongliang said over the Opium poppy headset.
“Our mission is to guard the nuclear power station, the anti-gravity unit, and the gunpowder store.”
Sky City is now a complete shambles.
Having already suffered the ravages of war and without the chance to clean up the battlefield, all kinds of remnants, from Ant Robots to Merman machinery, linger.
There’s also the fog derived from the Ghosts, so humans can only strategically abandon Sky City and move to Green Mountain.
There is one piece of bad news and one of good news now.
The bad news is that the Opium poppy is once again on its last breath.
Heavy thermal weapons have still caused it considerable damage.
It’s lucky it’s not dead, so the Green Grass Paradise is also out of service, for now.
No one knows whether it is feigning death.
In any case, it certainly won’t take part in the battle.
The good news is that the Insect Soldiers are not much affected by the fog.
Perhaps they have always mastered the “Devouring Evolution” power, which is a Power of Anomaly, having a considerable resistance to the power of Deformation originating from the Ghost, thus effortlessly resisting it.
Now, the Insect Soldiers have become the main force in resisting the deformed monsters.
Even though many of the insect race, after a battle, are also covered in wounds, they still persevere with their broken bodies…
As for the human army, preparations for the next wave of battle are also in place.
“Comrades, good day to everyone.”
The setting sun was sinking, and the chaotic day was still not over, while Lu Yuan’s somewhat tired voice was transmitted far and wide into everyone’s headsets through electromagnetic waves.
“The squad beneath us can hold out at least five or six days, and Lady Conch might be able to reseal the Ghost.”
“But to better relieve the pressure of battle, we indeed need to hoist the UFO ashore.”
“Now, I will briefly explain the entire cause and process of the war…”
Lu Yuan was saying this mainly to stabilize morale.
At the very least, everyone needed to understand what they were fighting against.
“In a certain Epoch, a powerful civilization called Quantum Civilization was born.”
“They created this UFO, suppressing part of the remnants of the Ghosts.”
“Their method of suppression was very unique, relying on a purely materialistic technology system, using high-energy weapons for suppression.
These weapons could make the temperature reach hundreds of millions of degrees, and even the Ghosts couldn’t withstand it.”
“Pure materialism has an advantage in that it’s not easily influenced by Ideal Energy.
Most of our Supernatural powers are not very meaningful against rules on the level of the Ghosts, but materialism is different.
Even the Ghosts have to follow certain physical laws.”
“But pure materialism also has disadvantages.
No matter how powerful artificial intelligence is, it cannot perceive ‘Mind’.
Only a ‘Life Form’ with a soul can feel the ‘Heart Energy’.”
“Therefore, Quantum Civilization sent a Great Spirit Rhythmer to combine with material technology and guard this place long-term.”
Lu Yuan had actually omitted a lot of content, such as the fact that the power emitted by the Ghosts provided energy for the UFO; this UFO might have been deliberately damaged by the Quantum Civilization and left behind here, possibly to avoid the Epoch Disaster.
Furthermore, whether this Stranger was a member of the Quantum Civilization was also unknown.
Of course, these details didn’t need to be elaborated on too much.
“However, with the passage of time, the lifespan of this Great Spirit Rhythmer might have reached its end, or perhaps he was influenced by the Ghost’s power of Deformation to his own wits and began showing a strong inclination towards Soul Devouring.”
People’s expressions suddenly stiffened.
In this world, Spirit Essence was almost omnipotent.
Soul Devouring meant devouring souls, which could forcibly extend one’s life!
For example, the First Emperor of the Mandala Empire was a Soul Devourer, who had lived from ancient times to the present, possibly for tens of thousands of years?
The ancient civilization that created the Sky Pit, that ‘Dominator’ was also a Soul Devourer.
Only then did he have enough Mind Energy to control an Anomaly Monster.
But devouring the soul could affect one’s own wits, leading to a fundamental change in ideology.
Just as humans don’t consider it a sin to eat chicken, duck, or goose, Soul Devourers don’t feel sinful for consuming their own kind.
In the long duration of devouring, the soul will be assimilated.
After all, the soul isn’t a physical body—it doesn’t really have a digestive function—so it’s normal for some mutations to occur after a long time of soul-devouring.
Therefore, the act of ‘Soul Devouring’ that could destroy oneself is strictly forbidden among humans.
Violators—Death!
“The first Soul Devouring target of this Stranger was the South Island Civilization.”
“After the volcanic eruption, South Island Civilization left the Safe Zone and ventured into the Pangu Continent.”
“Six years ago, they discovered this high-level relic and were ecstatic, thinking they could exchange Civilization Points or find treasures.
Unfortunately, due to a lack of caution, they were exterminated by this Stranger using an Ant Chip…
Of course, the details of what happened in between are beyond investigation now, this is just our speculation…”
“We found some Merman skeletons in the trench which likely had their souls devoured by him.”
“Sadly, an entire race turned into nourishment for a Stranger to extend his life.”
“And those Ant Chips were created by the Stranger through some sort of high-tech method; they contain a small fragment of the Stranger’s split soul, which is why they’re so agile and versatile.”
“This ability to split the soul is the first time we’ve encountered it.
The Hume Instrument can’t detect it, which is normal, so comrades, there’s no need to blame yourselves.”
