Wasteland Development Diary

The Titan Knight is offline and can only be reached when it comes online.

Zhou Yi brought Wency to the Bone Laboratory and introduced the special long-necked crocodile to Bichi.

Octopus Brother showed a hint of suspicion in his eyes: "There are many precedents of long-necked crocodiles stealing and deceiving. I'm not discriminating, but that's the truth."

"Chairman, although this isn't exactly conducting some great research, the addition of unstable factors will affect the normal operation of the entire laboratory."

Being questioned made Wency a little angry: "You don't even know me, why do you assume I'm not capable?"

"It's simple, the long-necked crocodile clan is just not capable."

Bichi said very frankly.

Zhou Yi then realized that there was even an internal chain of contempt among the Guangna species, and even Octopus Brother, who had righteously spoken for the city's safety in the past, felt it was natural.

"I can do things you might not be able to do," Wency retorted angrily.

"Oh?"

Octopus Brother opened two of his tentacles: "If it's hunting in the wild, I certainly can't, but in terms of intelligence and knowledge, you can show what you've got."

"If you really have something to show, I'll take back my words and apologize to you. If you can't show anything, then never set foot in my laboratory."

The two of them argued.

Zhou Yi originally wanted to say a few words of persuasion, but now he could only watch from the sidelines. Otherwise, forcing Wency in would only lead to conflict between the two in the future.

He thought that if it really didn't work out, he would hand Wency over to Gong Zheng to assist him.

The long-necked crocodile faced Bichi and said, "Since you study prehistoric humans, do you know why cities in the Age of Gods were much larger than they are now? What is the biggest difference between cities in the Age of Gods and modern cities?"

Octopus Brother let out a 'ke ke' laugh and waved his eight tentacles: "So this is what you're proud of? As expected of someone living in the ruins of the Age of Gods, the long-necked crocodile's information is really outdated."

"Then I'll tell you."

"The cities of the Age of Gods were huge because the population of that era far exceeded today's. According to the utensils, clothing, and other items used by the citizens of the Age of Gods, their super cities had millions or even tens of millions of residents. There were many such cities."

"Today's cities were just market towns in that era."

He said in a relaxed tone: "The biggest difference between cities in the Age of Gods and current cities is the main residents. The main residents of the Age of Gods were prehistoric humans and the gods of that time, while the main residents now are Guangna species, humans, and electromechanical life."

"You're wrong."

The long-necked crocodile said with certainty: "The biggest difference between cities in the Age of Gods and modern cities is that cities in the Age of Gods could cultivate gods, while modern cities can only produce light seeds."

The octopus couldn't help but look strange: "How did you come to this conclusion? What evidence do you have?"

"Words!"

Wency raised a claw and clenched his fist, launching a counterattack: "It seems you don't know much about the books of the Age of Gods. If you have carefully read a large number of Dead Sea Scrolls, you can find those extremely clear traces in them."

"Gods, Goddesses, Abstract Gods, Great Gods, Abstract Gods, Sushi Gods... such words and descriptions are all over the books and writings of prehistoric humans."

"If a part of the text can be said to be a description, then the detailed records and repeated emphasis on these different gods in a large number of texts are definitely not jokes or exaggerations."

"This is enough to show that god-making and god-ascension were very common things in the prehistoric human era. The humans of that era also longed to become gods in order to gain more power and influence more humans."

The long-necked crocodile calmly stated: "I have consulted my teacher to find out what the group of gods looks like."

"The teacher said that humans in the Age of Gods obtained some kind of great power and transformed into the form of gods."

"Different gods have different powers and characteristics. Most gods can obtain a continuous stream of influence and resources. Their names are known everywhere, but some have good reputations, while others have bad names and stigmas."

He methodically explained his point of view: "This is the same as the Night God known in today's world. Currently, only the Night God is publicly known as a god, but in the prehistoric human era, gods were everywhere, each doing their own thing!"

"As long as you find more Dead Sea Scrolls, you can find traces of gods in them. Evidence is everywhere, but you are unwilling to believe it, unwilling to admit that the power of prehistoric humans far exceeded what is imagined now."

These words shocked Octopus Brother.

Bichi fell into deep thought.

Zhou Yi felt a little awkward listening to it.

From the perspective of life in the wasteland era, there were indeed descriptions and records of X Gods everywhere in the old human era. However, those were more often entertainment-oriented names and jokes, coupled with the mature natural science system of the past, which made the old humans seem to have divine power.

If it weren't for experiencers like himself, just seeing those descriptions and names of various gods would probably make people think that gods really existed.

"Although what you said may not be entirely correct, I acknowledge that you have given your arguments and demonstrations. The Dead Sea Scrolls do record various god names."

Octopus Brother's tone also became formal: "Why do you think cities are places for making gods?"

"This is my teacher's judgment, and I also heard it from him."

Wency said: "To make a god, there must be a large number of believers. Just like the Night God, without a church and without believers, it is just a powerful life, not called a god."

"The atmospheric creatures from outside the sky are stronger than most Skywalkers, but no one calls them gods. They are all considered terrifying monsters."

"The difference between a god and a monster is that a god gets more life support and support because it helps other lives, while a monster is pure destruction and plunder."

"Every city will make a god, and the more people there are, the easier it is."

The long-necked crocodile showed a look of recollection: "My teacher once said that Chongqing once had a famous god called 'Hot Pot,' a god related to food."

Zhou Yi could only try hard to suppress his laughter.

Wency said: "The teacher said that the Titan Knights once encountered this god. It is essentially a concept life and was once worshiped by a group of sea-descendant bone people."

"Those bone people used a huge pot to boil water and oil to worship and carry out sacrifices. Later, with the demise of this group of bone people, the last people who knew how to summon the Hot Pot God also completely disappeared."

Zhou Yi's smile froze.

He interrupted for the first time: "Did this Hot Pot God appear?"

"It was the teacher who said..."

Facing Zhou Yi's serious face, Wency's voice also became a little quieter: "When the teacher came to Divine Era Chongqing, one of the important purposes was to find traces of the Hot Pot God. That's all I know."

Zhou Yi was a little confused.

But on second thought, even the Night God representing the moon exists, so a Hot Pot God representing hot pot seems normal.

Wait.

Does that mean that cooking more hot pot is a way to summon it?

Zhou Yi immediately summoned Machine No. 2.

"Looking for concept life? This is a bit difficult."

Xiaofu said embarrassedly: "The Microphone Bully can be found because its main body is in that machine and is in a very early stage. The Night God is what concept life looks like after it has grown up. They can leave their main bodies and roam everywhere. Most of the time they are active in the inner world, which is different from the outer world we walk in."

"There must be a 'true word' or 'mystery' like the one given by the Night God. This is the rule they have set, which allows them to sense the inner world."

Zhou Yi thought it was a pity.

"If you really want to find them, you can only enter the inner world."

The Streamtracer added: "But that requires going through the Great Holy Spirit, otherwise you cannot enter the other side, at least until you become an Embryo."

"Da Zhou, as long as you obtain enough energy and then collect and expand the consciousness key through Xinqiu, you can break through and enter the Embryo stage."

Zhou Yi was helpless.

This matter is really a bit hopeless.

He has light seeds himself, but Xinqiu is on the outer sea side, and he can't go there now. He can only wait for news from the Apostle World.

"No, it's not that troublesome for you."

Xiaofu explained: "Just keep collecting Tinder life, don't forget my Cyclic Flow technology... Xinqiu itself only provides consciousness key expansion, but Tinder life can also do this."

"As long as you collect Tinder... let me think, 100 B-level species lives will be enough! If it's concept life, like the Microphone Bully, two more will do. It's very simple."

Zhou Yi's face darkened.

Collect 100 Territorial Lords on his body? Where are there so many Territorial Lords for him to catch... they are not Samurai Crabs.

One or two is okay, but if he catches so many Territorial Lords, it will probably cause public outrage and encirclement.

As for concept life.

Finding two more might be more realistic.

Wency's knowledge and understanding finally gained Octopus Brother's recognition and respect.

Bichi spoke much more politely: "I extend my sincere apologies to you. Welcome to the laboratory. There are only the two of us now, and I hope we can cooperate well."

Wency also said: "I will work here and wait for my teacher. Please respect me a little."

"The previous things will not happen again," the octopus promised.

The two sides reached an agreement.

Zhou Yi suddenly thought.

He can't go to the inner world, but the Night God can.

Why not ask it?

Night.

Zhou Yi whispered: "Night God, Night God, call my mind."

The image of a palace-dressed woman slowly appeared before his eyes.

Unlike last time, this time she was also holding a folding fan.

After listening to Zhou Yi's words, the Night God blinked: "I can help you find that Hot Pot God, as long as it exists, there should be traces to follow."

"Give me 20,000 light seeds."

Zhou Yi: "?"

"Gods also need funding," she said seriously.
