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

"Since we've already invested two cities, adding a few more should ensure success."

"We can only go all the way now."

The sun gradually set in the west, and he looked at the moon in the sky.

The world was still the same, but human hearts had changed many times over.

He urged the giant human head beneath his feet to rush towards the distant darkness.

...

...

At this moment, countless human cities were plunged into panic due to a sudden electromagnetic signal.

"Who sent the signal? Where did it come from? What about our Floating Fortress, has it been destroyed?"

"Report, the Super Fortress in Dongjin City has arrived at Lingbo City unscathed and did not participate in the battle."

"According to officials in Lingbo City, the Frost Mist Demon was severely injured and escaped, not long to live. They request their spacecraft to stand guard here to prevent its return! The city's damage was indeed severe; the entire city was frozen, with at least three million casualties."

Three million, the number made people's hearts tremble with fear.

That's three million, how many people in a city?

"No, wait, could this radio signal have originated from... the human Eleventh Civilization Branch?!"

"Quick, contact them, hasn't that city gone online?"

In the radio hall, staff worked tirelessly through the night, the sound of keyboards clattering like a waterfall. Several leaders stood before the big screen, drenched in cold sweat.

"The Third Civilization Branch and Eleventh Civilization Branch indeed have not gone online... but the Super Fortress did make contact."

The soldiers in the Super Fortress, hearing that their hometown had been destroyed, panicked so much their minds turned into mush, continuously shouting "Baka, baka."

"Please calm down!"

"Impossible! We didn't encounter any enemies along the way!"

"There are no messages from the rear either, there should be some resistance no matter what! It must be fake news!"

The soldiers were frantic, trying their best to argue, but being unable to contact the rear was the worst news of all.

The leaders of major cities couldn't stop panicking, mixed with a group of controlled people putting on an act, which others couldn't discern.

"Bring our Floating Fortress back!" a leader from New York City said through gritted teeth, "Protecting our own city is the key!"

"Super Fortress, go check your city. Notify us immediately if there's news... If it's truly gone, we welcome your migration."

With a leader taking the initiative, the united army immediately dispersed, and various Floating Fortresses halfway through their journey turned around and returned to their cities.

The Super Fortress couldn't remain in Lingbo City either and hurriedly returned home.

...

Yunhai City also urgently dispatched its own two fortresses to return to the city immediately.

As for those cities with low combat power and no nuclear weapons, they shivered in fear, terrified they would become the third city to be massacred.

"Save us!"

"Now the Safe Zone is open, the campaign failed, and the Demon is running wild everywhere."

"You big nations... save us!"

The leaders of these small cities screamed desperately into the screen.

But to no avail.

Now it's just everyone minding their own business.

Perhaps the idea of "humans united" is forever a luxury.

These cities were helpless and began a great escape.

Torrents of city residents fled into the night to the outskirts, scattered into nearby forests like ants moving house. With fewer people, the chance of being discovered reduced slightly.

...

"Damn it, are we really going to escape into the forest... What should we do?"

The leaders of Yunhai City were sweating profusely too.

Once an order to flee is given, morale will collapse immediately, and as a major city with over ten million people, how to evacuate,

Li Chunhong wiped the sweat from his forehead: "After consuming the population of two cities, how much Ideal Energy it must have gained."

"Perhaps this monster is completely unstoppable now, and even if we have some trump cards, we can't defeat it."

"Furthermore, our remaining cities are now fragmented, with no hope of uniting again."

"Damn it! We knew this plan was unreliable! Too many loopholes!"

The group cursed and grumbled.

Besides the cursing, the large room was filled with the "beep beep" of machines, creating an incredibly cold atmosphere.

"Did it consume the Civilization Points of those two cities?"

"Unlikely... it should be unlikely..."

In theory, it's relatively easy to collect Spirit Essence after a civilization perishes.

But Civilization Points would slowly dissipate into space-time — without Third-level Civilization technology, it can't be collected.

This more advanced level of Ideal Energy is partially absorbed by the World Will of Pangu Continent, while the rest is directly lost.

Only mature Four Great Calamities have the ability to devour "Civilization Points."

But this is just theory; no one knows what stage the Frost Mist Demon has grown to.

And the whole thing is extremely bizarre.

Without any intelligence, the battle took a sudden downturn, leaving no room for maneuver.

"Everyone, don't worry too much, extracting Civilization Points takes a lot of time, this is information provided by Lu Yuan, absolutely correct."

At that time, the Ghost-level natural disaster took a small half-night to consume the remaining Luck of the Lanpeng Civilization.

"It continuously attacked multiple cities and quickly moved, perhaps it just devoured a little Spirit Essence, without absorbing 'Luck'!"
