The Giant Shrimp Civilization has been developing for seven hundred years.

This is an era of explosive civilization development, akin to a myth.

In the first year, they were born, created by their master.

In the thirtieth year, they transitioned from the tribal era, through the city-state era, formally began to establish civilization, develop systems, and experienced their first internal power struggle for control.

In the one hundred and seventh year, they discovered a mysterious golden metal, Divine Gold, absorbed it into their bodies, integrating into their blood, organs, and skeletons, transforming into shrimp with metal shells, possessing special abilities, strength, and unparalleled combat power.

In the four hundred and twenty-eighth year, civilization entered the era of cultivation, based on metal absorption, the Golden Body Technique emerged, initiating an age of cultivation renaissance.

They found that after death, the bodies of the golden-bodied giant shrimp could surprisingly transform into even stronger Divine Gold, retaining some of the patterns and powers from their lifetime, absorbed anew, granting more mysterious abilities.

In the five hundred and ninth year, the Giant Shrimp Emperor, who unified the realm, began exploring the boundaries of the world, discovering an exit, and stepping into the outside ocean world. It was then they realized they were living inside a mysterious Imperial Tomb mural.

"The world, is so vast."

"Beyond this world, there lies another world."

In the six hundred and thirty-second year.

They invented metal meridians, internal circulation, and under the guidance of a certain "Saint," they built a metal meridian system, transforming into Golden Body Armor, as the era shifted into flesh-mecha times, and the populace gradually became metal-machine based, embarking on a unique mechanical battle armor era.

In the six hundred and seventieth year.

Civilization began to suffer due to resource scarcity, initiating a eugenics plan, stepping out from the tomb space, exploring the outside ocean world, collecting various resources, and launching a grand world expedition.

Human civilization on Earth had five thousand years of mostly muddled history before truly setting sail in the steam era, and only two to three hundred years of effective development led to rapid changes until now.

Whereas here, six hundred years were enough to evolve into a mature and advanced civilizational mechanical age.

They practiced using Divine Gold, upon death, bodies became Divine Gold, enriching future generations.

They used Divine Gold to build golden walls, establish strong cultivation systems inside, create external exoskeleton golden armor, Divine Weapons...

They, lived upon the bodies of the dead.

They called this Divine Gold... golden Embers, said to be the will left behind by ancestors!

They eventually discovered God.

In the six hundred and thirtieth year, God was precisely that "Saint" from back then, guiding them to open the mechanical era. Three of their wisest sages initiated a dialogue with God, but both sides parted without agreement.

God warned, "The world beyond the tomb mural, even God cannot conquer, and it remains unknown even to God... outside lies great terror, continue exploring this outer world, you will face extinction, and God will be implicated because of you."

In the seven hundred and thirty-first year.

The proud giant shrimp species chose to continue their grand exploration, setting sail.

"Our kingdom is built on bones."

"Every wall made of Divine Gold is a gift from the ancestors, they protect us, guide us, ancestors must make concessions regarding the length and power of life, such a poignant matter."

"Thus, absorbing the ancestors' Divine Gold in cultivation, we set out with their dying wish, to conquer the entire world."

——Our great Emperor Xitu.

With ambition, they stepped outside the ancient tomb mausoleum space, exploring the oceans, discovering countless evolving life of enlightenment, calling the outside era: the Big Bang Period.

Ambitious and ever-expanding, they attempted to conquer the outside world.

God was thoroughly enraged, and apocalypse descended.

God furious with the dynasty's disregard for warnings, decided to impose divine punishment.

"Come forth, I allow you to challenge."

An almighty Divine Being, face cold, looking down upon the entire civilization kingdom below, mechanized to frightening degree, even they had become pure metallic beings.

Clang clang.

Countless soldiers stepped out from the mythical crystal giant shrimp shell castle, wielding large forks as the mechanical emperor roared stepping out.

"Kill!"

"Fight you to the end!"

Numerous powerful soldiers marched forth.

Their combat power reached the Five-Body Realm level, and their king even attained Three Elements Realm Great Perfection mastery within merely seven hundred years.

However, God's power was unmatched, moments later, the entire Great Shrimp species era met its demise, and the young hero Giant Shrimp Emperor fell to the ground, bearing an unwilling expression.

And in the shadows, scholars silently recorded this tragedy on one of their gold metal stone tablets, it was their Divine Gold, left for future generations.

"We witnessed the blazing light of the metallic city's melting, yet do not regret, hoping descendants move forward on our Divine Gold corpses, as we once stepped on ancestors' bones."

The civilization's stone transformed into new Divine Gold, concealed beneath the ruins of the Imperial Palace.

Outside the laboratory.

A group of blacksmiths were recording here.

The Spirit Farmer Mudworker, Blacksmith Daojiu, Physician Sword Fairy, Immortal Aunt... these technicians observed this personally bred short-lived civilization.

"The Imperial Tomb's first mural shrimp world is nearing extinction, prepare to release a new batch of seeds."

"It seems we still couldn't succeed."

"Over there at number two, they're nurturing giant shrimp anew."

"Unfortunately, we lack tombs, only five experimental world labs exist... other tombs, we can't clear, and dare not open those ancient tombs there."

"This giant shrimp species we developed, breed way too fast, a hundred years can yield billions, yet it's still insufficient."

The Mudworker and Sword Fairy are already very mature, recording something.

Civilization, species, optimization, evolution... these words are the core of this era.

This truly is the opportunity the Big Bang Epoch should offer.

Once this unique evolution virus disappears, all opportunities disappear completely.

So, they grasped the fleeting evolution fireworks in history, researched species, until when the world's races solidified, they eventually became the... God of a certain species.

Seven hundred years is the Five-Body Realm's lifespan limit for traditional cultivators.

But isn't that powerhouse several thousand years old, over ten thousand years?

Currently, they can only be considered minor cultivators.

Upon reaching this world, after some exploration, finding there's something wrong with this world.

The seven hundred-year civilization story of the giant shrimps, indeed worthy of awe, melancholy.

Yet their blacksmiths' seven hundred years here, equally treacherous, a slight mistake leads to oblivion, for the bizarre world is absolutely terrifying.

Following suit is the blacksmiths' seven hundred years of civilization development history.
