I Don't Agree to the Terms-Chapter 1100 - 578: How the Snow Monster Civilization Froze to Death

"What you wish for never comes..."

"I've ended up in a small world, yet there's a civilization surviving under the Destructive Frost."

Gu Shanhai was a bit frustrated; he didn't expect his luck to be this poor.

"A civilization of Snow Monsters, no wonder they can endure so much." Gu Shanhai investigated for a moment, finally understanding why this civilization was able to survive.

A group of Snow Monsters living in an icy world definitely have high cold resistance. To these Snow Monsters, it's certainly cold, but there's no difference from usual, at most just a few Snow Monsters freezing to death.

However, as time went on, this group of Snow Monsters also noticed the unusual weather. Even though they had always lived in winter, they could sense that this winter was more dangerous—otherwise, how could Snow Monsters be freezing to death?

"The civilization's development is not bad, leaning towards Magic Technology, primarily ice-based. Plus, with the arrival of Magic Power tides, the growth of Snow Monsters and the development of Magic Technology have made rapid progress."

"At least it's much more promising than the small world I visited during my last mission."

"If these Snow Monsters were living in some bigger world instead of this small world, perhaps their growth would be smoother."

A small world means fewer resources, limited development, and the inability of the world itself to provide enough support.

So, it's already quite impressive that this group of Snow Monsters could develop to this extent on their own. If given an opportunity, these Snow Monsters might become the next Elf Clan.

Unfortunately, in this small world, there's simply no such opportunity. They can only grow steadily, and once the intensity of the Destructive Frost increases, the Snow Monster civilization's cold resistance combined with Magic Technology likely won't be enough to endure.

Unless they can rapidly evolve or have a massive breakout in Magic Technology, they're basically doomed.

After studying the Destructive Frost, Gu Shanhai could also deduce its outburst data.

At the current stage, the cold resistance of the Snow Monsters is already insufficient to counter the low temperatures of the Destructive Frost, not to mention any further drops in temperature.

"Rapid evolution is impossible, and even if they did evolve quickly, it couldn't keep pace with the increased intensity of the Destructive Frost."

"To survive under the Destructive Frost without freezing to death, they'd at least need the super-cold resistance found in the Elf Clan."

"The possibility of evolving such resistance is too small—smaller than betting on me blowing up a Dual-star Celestial Body."

The super-cold resistance of the Elf Clan can't be called mere resistance; it's a rule, a law, or even divinity or Divine Power.

Evolving such resistance by relying solely on the environment and self-evolution is impossible; only with the help of the World Tree's leaves can they reach this level.

"If they can't rely on themselves, they might rely on external forces. If Magic Technology has a massive breakout reaching the level of the Elf Clan, it could... well, that probability is even less likely than these Snow Monsters finding another World Tree leaf and reliving a wandering civilization."

Both solutions are beyond the capabilities of this Snow Monster civilization.

Compared to other civilizations that turned into chaos due to the Destructive Frost, this Snow Monster civilization has fared much better. The Snow Monsters formed a large settlement, using it to provide warmth and development.

Of course, many Snow Monsters are unaware of this settlement and continue to live alone.

Whether they can live long, Gu Shanhai doesn't know, but based on living conditions, it's much more comfortable outside the settlement.

The settlement has a large number of Snow Monsters, but limited resources, so even with self-farming and livestock, there's no immediate improvement. Thus, distribution would definitely be problematic. In contrast, those living alone have all resources to themselves and enjoy much more abundance.

So, now Gu Shanhai is contemplating what remaining value this Snow Monster civilization has for him to extract?

Since he's here, he can't just leave like that.

If no civilizations survived, Gu Shanhai would honestly stay, conduct experiments, and casually take some civilization heritage back to report.

But that's not possible now because the civilization hasn't gone extinct, which means he has no civilization heritage to collect.

Gu Shanhai has no choice but to set his sights on the Snow Monsters.

"Civilization, such a thing, should be able to add value to my Peeping Realm while advancing my civilization system further, making it primary resource." Gu Shanhai quickly identified the first worth.

His Peeping Realm is itself a civilization, and absorbing other civilizations can help complement each other's strengths.

"Eh? Thinking this way, the value of these world clusters seems much higher." Gu Shanhai suddenly realized that he was too materialistic before, paying no attention to the spiritual aspect.

Only now did he think of it—consuming worlds without noticing civilizations. These things can be consumed too.

"Next is the Snow Monsters themselves, skinning and extracting their tendons... let's skip that; even eating all this meat wouldn't be useful."

"The rest is the world itself, but I won't consume it—I've yet to digest the twelve worlds I've previously consumed."

"However, it can be used for experiments."

"I need a world to perfect the Destructive Frost's data."

Gu Shanhai needs the data on the Destructive Frost; it's not something he can simply deduce. Experimentation is required.
