I became a god by treasure hunting after arriving 500 years early

So, Lu Yuan settled down in this small village of an alien civilization for the time being.

Every day he studied the newly acquired "Extraordinary Spark" materials, either played marbles with the kids, chatted with the elderly, or exchanged martial arts moves with the young, experiencing long-missed social entertainment.

Life in an ancient civilization, how should I put it... was quite leisurely.

Work at sunrise, rest at sunset, a regular routine, leisurely and comfortable.

Sometimes life doesn't need much, being able to eat your fill and drink enough water can also be a kind of satisfaction.

In these days, Lu Yuan also found out that the Sha Li Clan astonishingly did not have communicators — actually, they did have them, before being transported to Pangu Continent, a large meteorite had landed ten kilometers from the village.

But they didn't pick it up!

They didn't pick it up!

The reason was that they were busy farming at the time, and had no interest in picking up meteorites!

This made Lu Yuan very desperate, initially thinking he could freeload a communicator.

Perhaps because of their shallow knowledge or maybe because he looked similar, the Sha Li Clan didn't feel particularly alienated from him, which could be felt from the way they addressed him, some calling him "Warrior" and others "Master," while the younger ones simply called him "Uncle Lu."

Well, Lu Yuan indeed was of the uncle generation, considering the time that had passed, he was almost forty years old, not that young anymore.

And even women... cough, were they hitting on him?

"Master, the Elder asked me to bring you a chamber pot..." a village girl said, flashing her big yellow teeth, her hands resting on the doorframe, a bit restrained.

"Where is that chamber pot of yours?"

This was quite speechless.

Lu Yuan could only regretfully state that he already had a wife — even if it's a wife in the hard drive, it still counts as a wife.

Out of comfort to the village girl, he even specially asked the village elder to matchmake her with a dependable young man to marry off... at last resolving some concerns.

All in all, being in a human village felt completely different from being in the "Rize Civilization."

The lizardmen of the Rize Civilization were indeed very hospitable and polite, and living conditions there were not bad either, but it was hard to give Lu Yuan a sense of belonging.

While the human village, even though destitute, allowed him to integrate quite easily...

To improve living conditions, Lu Yuan occasionally followed the Sha Li Clan to fetch water from Sky City.

Under his protection, the risk of drawing water from the reservoir greatly reduced, and almost every time they returned fully loaded.

With the water obtained, they naturally could cultivate more crops.

Thus, after three months, the living conditions in this small village significantly improved, and the news slowly spread to other villages; soon, Lu Yuan's reputation was similarly known.

Everyone knew there was an exceptionally strong, similar-looking, and fairly gentle "Outsider"!

The villagers gave him a new title, "Lu the Brave," with no intricate formalities, but also accorded him due respect.

"If this kind of life could continue, it seems it would be passably decent."

"Life isn't filled with poetry and distant lands, it is always plain and dull."

Lu Yuan murmured quietly.

But he knew deeply that this tranquility was fleeting.

The Sha Li People were going insane one by one, rushing into Sky City.

His frequency of dreaming also began to increase, that obscure voice appearing unexpectedly even when awake. Find exclusive stories on empire

[The Ascension Ceremony is about to begin.]

"Join some darn Ascension Ceremony, dammit, barking every day." Lu Yuan shook his head vigorously, drinking a mouthful of cold water.

"At least you can still hold up, but lately the number of missing Sha Li People has noticeably increased." Old Cat said, "I suspect some changes are happening at the center of Sky City."

"Additionally, the craziness and desires are greatly related, children have smaller desires and are less tempted."

"Those who are more dissatisfied with reality are more susceptible to temptation."

Lu Yuan could only sigh quietly, but had no good solution.

"Better to improve strength."

His Eternal Spark had already reached the Peak of Level Three, and he was just one step away from a breakthrough.

Thus, until the fourth month, with the diligent research efforts of many companions, this piece of information was finally decoded at the fastest speed!

[The basic principle is like this...] The main translator, Conch, was very serious, just like a teacher.

[Reaching the Peak of Level Three, Lower Qiankun cannot contain the raging Spark Energy, then one must find a way to expand one's capacity again.]

"You're not going to open up a new Qiankun, are you?" Lu Yuan questioned.

He had been thinking about this for a long time.

The human body can open up three Qiankuns: upper, middle, and lower, and he had only used one!

But venturing alone bore the risk of going in the wrong direction with severe consequences; starting over might take decades.

[The information introduced the idea of 'opening up the Middle Qiankun,' but it is not recommended.]

[If the Extraordinary Spark is split into two, housed separately in the 'Middle Qiankun' and 'Lower Qiankun,' managing the two Sparks and their interaction would be very complicated, resulting in an effect where 1+1 is less than 2.]

[Moreover, the risk of opening up the Middle Qiankun, which is located around the heart, is much higher compared to the Lower Qiankun, near the bladder.]

[So a better approach is to open up the Twelve Main Meridians and Eight Extraordinary Meridians, continuously directing the Extraordinary Spark Energy into the organs and muscles, comprehensively strengthening the physique, while dispersing the Spark Energy into the meridians.]
