Chapter 986 - 502: Civilizational Curiosities, the Mermaid Grew Legs

The Guardian of the Iron Fist Race performed a knightly salute: "Canglan Ghost, thank you very much for your previous warning. Otherwise, more Iron Fist People would have died."

Yang Fan smiled and said: "No need for thanks, helping the Iron Fist Civilization is helping ourselves."

More than half a month ago.

He was wandering around the Sea of Death Black Sand when he discovered that the swarms of poisonous ants were starting to show large-scale agitation. He then concluded that a plague of poisonous ants was highly likely to occur.

He informed the guardian of the Iron Fist Race about this, and the two civilizations cooperated and began preparing for the disaster.

The Thunder Hammer fired at the black rock ant swarm by the Canglan Eagle squadron led by Lieutenant Colonel Gong Shicheng, was originally a weapon made by the Iron Fist People.

The Canglan Civilization spent a certain cost to obtain a complete set of manufacturing technology from the Iron Fist Civilization and then improved it, resulting in the current Thunder Hammer.

Due to the variety of poisonous ants, both races prepared a large number of weapons specifically designed to deal with poisonous ants.

Otherwise, caught off guard, the death toll among the Iron Fist Race could easily be ten times higher.

Yang Fan glanced at the guardian and said solemnly: "The Canglan Civilization has also encountered the phenomenon of spatial merging."

The guardian was shocked.

Originally, the Iron Fist Race had sent a civilization trade group to be stationed on Canglan Star, regularly sending relevant intelligence back home.

The trade group had already learned about the North Island war information but had not yet transmitted it back, so this knight was unaware.

With the simultaneous occurrence of spatial merging in two civilization worlds, he naturally knew that things were not simple.

The guardian’s expression was uncertain: "Recently, I privately exchanged with another civilization in this world group and learned some bad news.

"It’s said that a super calamity sweeping the entire Primordial World has already started, and the great calamity may last from one hundred to three hundred years.

"During the outbreak of the calamity, the frequency of various natural disasters will be ten to twenty times higher than in normal times."

The guardian paused and deliberately intensified his tone: "Many civilizations refer to the calamity as the ’Great Destruction Tribulation.’

"The other civilization also mentioned a theory that the Great Destruction Tribulation might be the Primordial World’s way of a grand selection of various civilizations.

"After the super calamity ends, the vast majority of civilization worlds will be destroyed, and ultimately, the civilization worlds capable of surviving the calamity will likely be less than 5%."

"Less than 5%" means that out of twenty civilization worlds, at most only one civilization world will survive.

This is an astonishingly high elimination rate.

Yang Fan was not surprised at all: "The Great Destruction Tribulation might be real."

Previously, a Fallen Ancient God had eerily extended its hand towards the Arctic Icefield, and recently, Canglan Star’s inexplicable acceleration of arrival, all events are excellent evidence.

The guardian sincerely said: "In times of crisis, the weak should band together for warmth. I believe the Iron Fist Civilization and Canglan Civilization can cooperate more closely."

Yang Fan thought for a moment and agreed: "Indeed it is necessary."

The guardian said kindly: "If the Canglan Civilization needs it, we can send 50,000 warriors to assist your forces in eradicating the poisonous ants."

Yang Fan kindly declined: "Thank you very much for your kind offer, but the Canglan Civilization has already taken measures to curb the spatial merging and set a trap for the invading poisonous ant swarm. Passing through the disaster safely should be no problem."

The guardian almost suspected he misheard.

The essence of spatial merging is actually the powerful Power of Space compressing space, causing certain areas of civilization worlds to be forcibly "squeezed" into the Primordial World.

Hence, the spatial energy in the merging regions is terrifyingly strong, like a torrential flood peak in a flood.

Even the high rank door openers of strong civilization worlds, who are knights with rare middle grade spatial superpowers, even trying to interfere with the merging regions at this time:

It’s like mortals opposing a flood peak; the chance of being crushed by the backlash of spatial force exceeds ninety-nine percent.

The guardian remembers that Canglan Civilization’s arrival is short of four years, and they have the ability to curb the terrifying spatial merging?

The knight restrained his surprised expression and nodded: "Alright, wishing the Canglan Civilization good luck!"

It’s clear that the guardian is full of skepticism about this.

The guardian suddenly moved his right hand, throwing over an item: "Take it."

With a "woosh," the object swept past at double the speed of sound over a hundred meters, then suddenly stopped, hovering ten meters in front of Yang Fan.

It was a piece of entirely transparent black crystal, shaped like an eye, with a faint red light within.

The guardian said: "This is a curiosity condensed from the World Will of the Iron Fist Civilization, called ’Tracking Blind Eye,’ which you can use to track knight-level strong individuals."

Yang Fan smiled with satisfaction: "Thank you!"

The guardian waved his hand: "It’s just a level 1 civilization curiosity; it’s no big deal."

Every civilization world’s World Will, after a period of growth, usually fifty years or more, will enter the maturity phase and begin birthing some wondrous items.

They are known as——civilization curiosities.

In the first few decades, the civilization curiosities birthed don’t have much power, only possessing some auxiliary functions.

They are level 1 curiosities, their effectiveness similar to first level exotic materials.

As time progresses, as civilization worlds grow stronger, the birthed civilization curiosities will also become increasingly powerful.

Last time Yang Fan communicated with the guardian, he heard about the level 1 civilization curiosities of the Iron Fist Civilization and showed considerable interest, so the knight generously stated he would give away a Tracking Blind Eye.
