Inner Earth.

Night, 17:50.

"This is [the capital of sulfurs], behind the Great Rift in the Canyon. The entire Abyssal Canyon formed twenty-four sets of natural reality anchors, shielding all fluctuations in this area, and it was really difficult to find this place if it wasn't for the two Yellnias who followed them along the way. ”

Dressed in a protective suit, Natsu stood on top of a huge rock and looked down on the city of the center of the earth below, the [Sulphur Capital].

The sulphur capital is located on the shores of a huge sulphur lake, which was created by volcanic activity underground, and the whole lake has a faint golden sheen.

The rocks around the lake have taken on a metallic yellow color due to years of sulfur deposits, resembling a golden castle.

In the center of the city, there is a majestic tower, while a certain part around the lake resembles an industrial area, where ore is processed, mushrooms are cultivated and various crafts are made.

Settlements made of caves meander around the city, each of which is carefully designed, and the city looks thriving as the [Yernia] from all walks of life walk on the floor with the sound of sulfur.

"Yellnia has passed through the early hunter-gatherer society and the early agricultural society, and judging by the previous guardians and mushroom farmers, their civilization has formed a civilized class, the ownership of the means of production has transitioned from public to private, the guardians have armed forces, and the peasants cultivate mushrooms in the land in the center of the earth in exchange for protection and habitation."

Xia Xiu quickly remembered the characteristics of the civilization in his heart, and he took a step towards the empty place in front of him, and the Möbius ring appeared at his feet, and with a distortion of space, he had already appeared below the sulfur capital.

Xia Xiu, who was dressed in protective clothing, walked casually in the [Yernia] tribe that was 108,000 miles away from him, and his whole person walked on this land like a heretic, and all the nearby [Yernia] did not notice him, as if he was like a ball of air.

is full of fragmented alien painting styles, but it is strangely coordinated and unified.

"[Adam], now at this critical stage of the civilization expedition, you are responsible for taking note of the relevant content, and I am going to start speeding up the progress of observation." Xia Xiu said to [Adam] in his mind.

[Understood.]

[Jelnia: Civilization Watch Log begins-]

[Observation location: 110 km underground in the ruins of the Alki Mountains, Inner World.]

[Observer: Hugh Abraham.]

[Civilization/Society/Culture: Yernia.]

[Threat: Undetermined-]

[The topics of the current observation itinerary are as follows:

Observation Theme 1: Social structure and organization (types of government, leadership structures and decision-making processes, etc.) ）

Observation Theme 2: Culture and Values (Documenting the language used by the subject of observation, describing religious systems, beliefs and religious rituals, and their role in society, etc.) ）

Observation Theme 3: Economy and Lifestyle (Describes the main economic activities of the observed subject, including agriculture, industry, trade, etc.) ）

Observe Theme 4: Education and Knowledge Transfer (describe the education system, types of schools, educational opportunities, etc.) ）

Observe Theme 5: Arts and Entertainment (Observe and describe art, music, dance, drama, and other forms of performance, among others.) ）

All observations will be used for subsequent civilization decision-making, and it will be up to Eden, the Resolution Assembly, the Ethics Committee, and the Civilization Observer to decide on the subsequent decision-making course for that civilization and how to interfere with it-]

So let's start with the first topic now. The capital of Yernia's civilization is the capital of sulfur, the capital is the administrative center and the symbol of the highest political power, if they rule the entire race with the class of the wise, then the administrative center has a high probability of maintaining a large number of knowledge reserves such as books and texts, and we can understand their social structure and organization by directly reading the internal knowledge of the people. ”

The Fourth Sword-Wielder of the Heavenly Kingdom had already arrived in front of the tower, which was patrolled back and forth by several guardians, and he swaggered into the tower, his golden eyes looking at the buildings around him.

Towering over the very center of the city is a massive, multi-storey tower, taller than any other building, constructed of solid volcanic rock and special metal alloys, with a main part that gradually narrows upwards, with an intricate geometric pattern on the outer walls, and a large transparent crystal ball at the top.

"This standardized style shouldn't be the style of the Inner Civilization, [Adam], scan this architectural style, identify where it came from?"

[Start scanning-]

[Adam] responded to Xia Xiu's request, and immediately began to report the results after a quick scan.

[Appraisal completed!] ]

[This mechanical architectural style of the [Amoni city-state] emphasizes simplicity, functionality, and the use of new materials.]

During the Glorious Age, the Daevites launched a great war to conquer the entire world.

The belligerent nation sounded the horn of [Ares] and frantically declared war on the whole world, and in order to please the [Crimson King], they let out a roar of plundering the world.

However, with the revolt of the slave army led by Ion, the turn of this war has quietly changed.

In the end, with the fall of the Daevite Holy City [Alagadda] and the establishment of the Sarkic Empire as a symbolic turning point, the Daevite briefly withdrew from the stage of war, and the protagonists of the world turned to the two heroes of the pride of the sky - Ion and Brom.

However, the winner will not even have a respite.

With the fall of the Daevite beast, the desire of the conquered to regain their kingdom began to resurge; The way of flesh and blood of the Sarkic Empire made the city-states that believed in Mekhanite exclaimed, "The end is coming"; A new nation is born, and Ion needs land and followers to satisfy the appetites of the nouveau riche.

Ethnic hatred, religious conflicts, ruler ambitions......

With the fall of the Daevite Empire and the establishment of the Sarkic and Mekhanite empires, the first phase of the First Occult War came to an end.

But peace will not come, almost all civilizations will be affected, and a life-and-death war will break out.

The players are ready and the real world war is about to begin.

With the turmoil, conspiracy, and killing, the church cultivated the nations of the Glorious Age like a Gu, the city-states that split from the Daevite, the Sarkic Empire, the Pan-Military Alliances, the alien and human republics, the aliens, the believers of the living gods, the families of the stars and the apostles...

Once again, they wage war of the utmost brutality, the craziest of times, when the blood gods drank countless delicious delicacies. ]

[The Mekhanite are so afraid of Ion and his legions, Ion's advance army, that the Sarkic legions resemble the "enemies of flesh" that their gods had prophesied.] This is why the anti-Daevite alliance, led by Mekhanite, is willing to put aside its hatred and temporarily ally itself with the Daevites.

They were going to kill Ion!!

The Sarkic and the Mekhan, without any hesitation, once again provoked an earth-shattering supernatural war.

The already precarious Terra Ocean, under the fierce battle between the two, began to be polluted into a chaotic shape, and the youngest Aether Monarch [Shalishi] was also born in this war, with the formation of the Four Monarchs, the complete formation of [Crystal Heaven], and began to slowly envelop the entire Terra.

The funny thing is that the two empires of Sarkic and Mekgod finally fell to the end, Ion disappeared, Sarkic was reorganized into Youyang, and the old Daevite Empire took the opportunity to devour the Mekhanite Cult and consolidate its own position, and the core battlefield of the war became the current Oretin Continental Plate, and the rest of the Cracked Continental Plate floated into the depths of the Chaos Sea, wrapped and guarded by the [Gods], and became a lost lost civilization.

The remaining alien kingdoms were wiped out one by one in the next few occult wars, until the era of genealogical supremacy arrived during the Terra Calendar period, with the end of the War of Supremacy known as the War of Genealogy, and many transcendent systems were completely deposed.

The survivors of the Mekhanite Cult were divided after the fall of the Empire, and most of them moved to other islands, hoping to find new territories to settle in. The remainder remained in the small settlement [Amoni], which had remained virtually untouched by the fighting.

The survivors of the new city-state also hid their place from the rest of the world, providing for themselves and recuperating. It wasn't until the end of the Glorious Age that they regained their status as influential players in regional politics, largely thanks to the advanced technology left behind by the Mekkai.

Although the city-state's overall military power has been severely weakened by the collapse of the empire, the [Engineers] from the city-state are still widely praised among other civilizations, which has earned them many important allies and ensured their long-term survival.

Sadly, [Amoni] did not escape his fate of destruction in the end.

The destruction of [Amoni] was linked to a racial persecution that was destroyed by rebels, and it is suspected that a number of gods were behind the incident.

Later, the Mekhanites who were devoured in the Daevite annexation war once again prostrate at the feet of the [Hanged King], the three major churches went to two and left one, and the Cogwheel Orthodox Church enjoyed the grace of [McKenn] exclusively, and some of their dogmas and church members formed the Atlas of the current Daevite [City That Never Sleeps], and Atlasism soon became the foundation and transcendent form of the Daevite Empire.

In order to revive their past glory, they began to search for lost Mekhanic knowledge, and that included [Amoni] knowledge. ]

"This is full of imperial history, which text do you look at, and the current transcendent historiography does not advocate focusing on multiple perspectives, avoiding over-focusing on imperial perspectives and ignoring other perspectives. Since the discovery of such a thing, all transcendent history has been marked with doubt, after all, all historians have been puzzled about how humans have expelled the gods, and they have their own words. ”

Xia Xiu had already reached the core layer of the tower at this time, and his mind continued to talk about history with [Adam].

"There are a lot of questions that can't be explained now, where the hell is Ion? Where are His four saints? Is Brom dead or not? Is the Hanged King still in Daevite? How the hell did the Mekhani break? ”

As soon as this sentence came out, the smell of being an international student in Luyuan came out at once.

"Now that humanity has embarked on the old path of history again, this time if a supernatural war breaks out without suppressing the Honkai, Terra may really blow up. Moreover, the Chaos Sea and [Crystal Heaven] are already against the sky, if they want to make something even more against the sky, I think everyone is still dead, I can't resist them jumping around all day long when I work overtime every day. ”

And what is heavier than the smell of the students in the Deer Academy, it is naturally the smell of angels from heaven.

At this moment, the fourth sword-wielder of the Heavenly Kingdom finally came to Yernia's "book collection", and when he saw the contents inside, his eyelids couldn't help but twitch slightly, the knowledge reserve items of the [Yernia] clan were not the kind of information medium stored in spores or fungal substances as he imagined.

The medium used by [Yelnia] to store knowledge is very trendy, so tide that Xia Xiu thought that he had come to the wrong place, and he couldn't help but complain in his mind.

"No matter how I look at these things, it's all from the Church of the Machines!"

Xia Xiu came to the rows of metal cabinets, picked up one of the things casually and put it in his hand to observe.

It was a cube-metal instrument with a hard appearance, about 30 centimeters on each side, and a subtle silver-gray color. There are many interfaces scattered around the surface, some for data transmission and others for linking with other blocks.

When picking up the block, Xia Xiu mobilized his genealogy network to directly access the block, accompanied by a dense burst of 0 and 1 data loading, and the relevant information in it was directly loaded into his genealogy network, and [Adam] quickly deciphered the data content on it.

[These data are relevant to the Great Code of Yernia—]

"I'm not very curious about the content right now, I'm curious that Yelnia, a race with thick eyebrows and big eyes, would actually use the mechite things as a medium for their civilization, and those sticky foot pads and fiber optic structures on their limbs wouldn't be the interfaces used to plug these blocks!

It's no wonder that the remnants of the machine god civilization are going to fight them to the death, these knowledge cubes that should have been randomly inserted and pulled by the mechanical structure race are now used by Yelnia's plants and insects to plug and pull at will, and the knowledge inside has also become their shape - such an NTR-like blasphemy, it is strange that the believers of the machine god are not crazy. ”

The fourth sword-wielder of the Heavenly Kingdom played with the knowledge cube in his hand, revealing an expression of sudden realization.

Then, he began to pick up the cubes one by one, put them in his hands and play with them, stroked, rubbed, and plated...

[·······]

[Adam] expressed his incomprehension of the sudden realization of the social animal Golden Retriever.

And, according to him, he's blaspheming the knowledge of the Machine God right now.

[As a reminder, due to time and corruption, the information in many of the knowledge cubes here has been "tainted" or mixed, resulting in the original information becoming incomprehensible or confused with other information.] ]

[According to the data you loaded, the technology to produce all kinds of machinery is now lost in the Inner World, and they can only replicate the products that have been designed and stylized in ancient times through the only building templates that exist. According to the nascent block records, one of the important tasks of the two Inner Earth civilizations is to find template technology throughout the Inner Earth civilization, so for the two Inner Earth civilizations, science has become archaeology, and they have become increasingly religious. ]

"Mekkami believers really like retro-style technology research methods wherever they go, whether it's the surface or the center of the earth."

Xia Xiu was not too surprised by this, the Mekhanite believers on the surface also took the path of archaeological excavation of new technologies, and they liked to do so.
