I became a god by treasure hunting after arriving 500 years early-Chapter 589 - 430: Ninth Epoch, Year 155
Chapter 589: Chapter 430: Ninth Epoch, Year 155
Lu Yuan spent the most indescribably joyful night in history.
His life entered an unprecedented stage of happiness, with a close partner, good friends, dear brothers, and his own career…
…
However, for the Underground Alliance, it was a torturous night.
Gambling… and they lost again!
It’s not that the Master of Furnace Wheel wasn’t strong enough, but… away from the underground environment, leaving behind their own civilization, he could hardly leverage any “luck”.
...
He performed much worse than last time.
So, the artisans of the Shu Mi Dam Civilization won this round quite easily!
5 Spirit Essences.
Not a lot, but it was painful for the People of the Underworld.
“Effortlessly!” the Rat Artisan, Shu Gongye, boasted, shaking his mustache proudly.
Seeing the dejected look on his opponent, he couldn’t help but comfort him: “This path of yours is not a dead end, just a bit limited.”
“Hey, come over and study with us more, considering you’ve paid 5 Spirit Essences in tuition.”
“Really?!” The Master of Furnace Wheel’s eyes suddenly sparkled.
Ratmen are actually more generous than humans; after all, they don’t develop civilizations but seize the opportunity to make connections wherever they see potential… As for whether the outcome is good or bad, they don’t really care that much.
…
It’s now day 56371 of the Ninth Epoch on the Pangu Continent.
For life outside the Safe Zone, 155 years have already been a very long time.
The mulberry leaves continue to grow silently, countless stories unfold across this continent, many civilizations vanish without a trace leaving only ruins.
Prosperity is always fleeting, while the grim reaper is eternal, as if no one knew they ever existed.
But some civilizations, very fortunately, stumble upon treasures and soar to great heights!
For instance, the Underground Alliance!
From their first day in the Sky City, these 12 races realized their insufficiencies…
And… the superiority of wandering civilizations!
Their horizons were greatly expanded.
This disparity is all-encompassing, not just in terms of technological gaps, which is understandable since humans have found too many relics, making it normal to lag behind in technology.
Even the gap at the level of spiritual will is… surprisingly present!
That truly seems incredible!
A casual passerby seeing these Alien beings could strike up an interesting conversation about cultural development, exhibiting remarkable insight and eloquence—signifying an extraordinarily rich educational resource.
The cost of education, it’s truly no joke. They couldn’t comprehend how such a small population of humans could maintain financial balance.
So, they could only stop a young man passing by at random to ask: “Education… can’t reveal too much about that. All I can say is our educational resources are very rich, and most of the knowledge is available for free.”
“What industry do I work in? No need for secrecy there, I am an Engraving Apprentice. I have a bit of talent and reached 12 Divine Attributes this year, just meeting the industry’s minimum standard.”
“My research focus is on reducing costs and increasing efficiency of Rune Bullets! You know, engraving requires idealist material as a base, and these materials are too expensive. We try to mix in some common metals to reduce the cost of the bullets…”
“Can’t say more… but there are small results! Consider it a modest contribution to the civilization, I’ll keep striving in the future!”
The young man said with an unstoppable smile on his face.
It’s evident that Human Civilization has overcome many difficulties; this inner confidence doesn’t need concealing.
Each of these young individuals is looking for something to do.
It seems like there’s nothing in the world that can truly stump them!
In contrast… the morale of the Underground Alliance has never been quite high.
Aside from the Bullhead Clan who are always blissfully ignorant, the other races more or less have a repressed atmosphere, as they lost so many people in disasters, who dares to dream of the future?
And the land area of “Grotto Heaven” is just so small… living in harmony is also hard.
…
More frightening is, the fighting spirit of the military personnel in Human Civilization is extremely high.
All kinds of reconnaissance work is truly exhausting, but they find joy in it and even achieve honor because of it.
The soldiers sincerely protect everything here.
“Treasure Hunting Team, monthly target exceeded! Brothers, disband!” (Mainly treasures in the forests.)
“I’m Lu Ying, haven’t gained much recently… sigh, compared to an Insect Race nest, it’s worlds apart.”
“But whatever we find is a bonus, an annual income of 10-20 Spirit Essences isn’t bad,” the man laughed heartily.
“Brother Lu, teach me how to treasure hunt, moo!”
…
What’s more terrifying is that almost all citizens among humans are willing to follow the city to far places, exploring the unknown, seeking opportunities.
This is really frightening and hard to achieve.

The more experiences, the richer their heritage — the logic is simple.
But who doesn’t yearn for a bit of comfort?
What if they encounter a disaster midway and the entire city is wiped out?
The Underground Alliance doesn’t know how to convince their people to keep going tirelessly… even if they constructed the Sky City, it might just be to avoid disasters rather than actively seeking opportunities…
