Chapter 747: Wasteland Calendar Day 136, [Celestial Phenomenon - Sunken Starfield]

With the fall of Qiming Mobile City.

The Ten Thousand Nations Pact Civilization ushered in an unprecedented great development.

Truly unprecedented, and the most significant aspect was population.

After taking stock, although Qiming Mobile City had suffered no small number of casualties from the earlier battle.

In the end, they still gained 11,492 in population.

Among them were 341 Bronze-tier lifeforms, plus 5 Silver-tier lifeforms including Wu Qiming.

This level of population directly dealt a massive shock to the Ten Thousand Nations Pact Civilization.

After all, the Ten Thousand Nations Pact Civilization's total population before this was only just over ten thousand.

Fortunately, among these prisoners, only about three thousand were primary combat personnel.

The rest were basically logistics and support staff.

And those whom Wu Qiming had been able to recruit under his banner were all special talents with unique skills or abilities.

Yu Yuan transferred Fang back from the Mechanical Scrapyard Planet and established a Human Resources Department to conduct a census of these prisoners.

Based on their relevant skills and talents, they were first assigned to corresponding positions to work.

Afterward, they would enter the Hunter Training Camp in batches.

To raise their recognition of the civilization and the Civilization Leader (Yu Yuan).

This was a process that every person joining the Ten Thousand Nations Pact Civilization had to undergo.

As for the combat personnel and those at Bronze-tier or above, they were all prioritized for training at the Hunter Training Camp.

"Understood, Leader. I will complete this matter as quickly as possible." Fang was brimming with confidence.

-

Wasteland Calendar Day 136.

The Starry Sky Observatory once again condensed a new round of Celestial Phenomena Cards.

[Celestial Phenomenon - Sunken Starfield]

Quality: Silver

Function: Seals the current world, prohibiting space, escape-type items, psychic abilities, talents, and special characteristics.

This Celestial Phenomena Card reminded Yu Yuan of the [Escape Badge] he had obtained from Xiao Wu, Xiao Xi's younger brother, long ago.

That was an item capable of forcibly leaving the current world.

"Interesting!"

Escape-type items were extremely rare. In all this time, Yu Yuan had only ever seen that one.

This card would probably be very difficult to find an occasion to use.

To be honest, Yu Yuan felt somewhat regretful.

What he needed most right now were items that could handle threats above Gold.

After all, his world still harbored a great deity, a dangerous factor that could be detonated at any moment.

The commotion caused by Qiming Mobile City launching a civilization war a few days ago would inevitably draw that entity's attention.

If it caused them to focus their attention on him.

Then... the trouble would be enormous!

Although he currently had three Superdimensional Level psychic abilities/talents obtained through his talent [Soul Theft], giving him the power to fight even against an existence above Gold.

But that was only the worst-case plan.

He was ultimately just a Silver-tier player. Directly confronting an existence suspected to be above Gold would be seeking death.

After leaving the Starry Sky Observatory, he returned to the Hidden Library to quietly wait.

Waiting for the arrival of a new round of intelligence.

Instead, he received a message sent by Alpha.

The Freedom Tower World had cooled down!

Accompanied by several photographs.

The Freedom Tower was located on a near-continent island, belonging to a temperate zone.

But in the photographs, this island had actually, damnably, begun to snow.

The sky was also dreadfully overcast.

[Alpha: Leader, the Freedom Tower has had continuous heavy rain for a week, and afterward the temperature dropped dramatically. Our people originally thought it was normal cooling after prolonged rainfall, but just now it started snowing heavily. Sensing something was wrong, we immediately reported it!]

Yu Yuan's gaze swept across those photographs, and his heart skipped a beat.

He knew all too well what this represented.

That fellow from the [New World] who had brought the ice disaster to the Civilization Ladder.

His influence had grown even greater.

Even the Freedom Tower World was beginning to be affected.

Yu Yuan sent inquiries to several other worlds.

The results were not optimistic.

Hammond and Yuan Lang replied that the Alchemy World and the Biological Alchemy World had also seen a certain degree of temperature drop over the past half month, though less than 10°C.

They had always assumed it was normal seasonal temperature regulation.

Now, upon receiving Yu Yuan's message, they too caught on.

"The snatching of the Ice Faith must be accelerated." This thought was deeply imprinted in Yu Yuan's mind.

When a new round of newspapers and [Civilization Ladder] magazine publications refreshed on the Hidden Library's display rack.

Yu Yuan immediately grabbed them to examine.

The first thing he checked was the content of the [Global News Weekly].

Sure enough, just as he had expected.

The commotion caused by the civilization war had indeed been noticed by that fellow lurking in the Green Forest World.

He was even greatly delighted, because it meant he could absorb the core energy of two worlds.

Greed made him restless with impulse.

Fortunately, at the final critical moment, the idea of lying in ambush to attack his companion still suppressed the restless impulse in his heart.

He decided to wait patiently.

This also made Yu Yuan breathe a sigh of relief.

This was exactly what he hoped for most right now, as long as he could keep this fellow steady.

That way he would have time to continue developing.

The second piece of news was about the Mechanical Vanguard Society.

Those routed remnants of the Mechanical Vanguard Society, although they had escaped a calamity.

In the extreme cold environment of minus seventy to eighty degrees Celsius, they simply could not survive for long.

Yu Yuan read this and secretly felt it was a pity.

But there was nothing to be done about it.

These Mechanical Vanguard Society members had fled to the ocean region.

That place was now an endless ice plain.

Yu Yuan could not possibly go fishing for a needle in the ocean to find them.

Could only count them as unlucky.

The third piece of news was about the Qiming World.

The commotion of world fusion had not only had a massive impact on the Green Forest World, but had equally shaken the Qiming World.

Those survivors in remote corners had also felt the changes in weather and temperature.

The arrival of low temperatures would inevitably create more obstacles for their survival.

"These people can actually be put to use."

Afterward, Yu Yuan picked up the [Civilization Ladder] publication.

After half a month of accumulation, Yu Yuan was very eager to see what kind of special intelligence he could harvest this time.

As the pages turned, the first publication content soon appeared before Yu Yuan's eyes.

It was actually related to the fall of the Snake of Rebirth.

Except this content piece was related to that explosive news he had previously released.

—[Mechanist Supremacy Launches Strictest Investigation, Mechanical Leader Absolutely Cannot Tolerate Incompetent Betrayal]

Yu Yuan immediately began reading.

But his expression gradually turned strange.

"So, this Mechanical Leader believes there's a traitor internally, who leaked the data and intelligence of Mechanical Apostle Unit 23 to the Snake of Rebirth?

And the Snake of Rebirth, before its fall, passed this information to its believers, and instructed them to spread it on the Civilization Ladder."

Yu Yuan had not expected there to be an unexpected gain.

The content sent out by that Bronze Rank 'Snake Kiss' member was orchestrated behind the scenes by Yu Yuan.

But his purpose was merely to drag Mechanist Supremacy into the mess, to expose their relationship with the Blood Duke.

The content about Mechanical Apostle Unit 23 was just to add some weight to that news.

"If that's the case, then it's not bad at all. Causing internal turmoil within Mechanist Supremacy would actually be even better."

Afterward, Yu Yuan continued flipping to the second content piece.

The result was that he saw a pair of deep blue eyes lighting up in the darkness.

Cold, indifferent, eternally silent, like ice that had never melted since ancient times.

As if in the very next moment, it would freeze all things.
