Become a god from scratch

Chapter 79: The Strange Rules of the Old Land

To this day, Lin Xuan actually knows quite a bit about the Old Earth World.

In his understanding, the reason why the two extremely similar worlds, Earth Origin Star and Blue Star, took two completely different paths despite similar historical structures was because of the emergence of Old Land.

The emergence of Old Land has brought Earth Origin Star into an extraordinary era, and even its technology tree has gone further than that of Blue Star.

Because the Earth Source Star has many advanced technologies, all of which were obtained from other civilizations in the Old Land.

In such a strange world where many civilizations gather, and many of them have more advanced technology than the Earth Origin Star, Lin Xuan would not be surprised even if UFOs were flying all over the sky.

But from what Sheng Naiqi and Xing Yan said, it seems like the exact opposite?

Not to mention a flying saucer, even taking a ride in a car is a very difficult thing.

This is undoubtedly a huge deviation from Lin Xuan's understanding.

Moreover, Lin Xuan also noticed that other people did not seem to find it strange about what the two had just said, and they all seemed to know what was going on.

When Lin Xuan raised this question, Lin Xinrui, the leader of Team 3, patiently explained to him:

"Xiaoxuan, have you never been curious about why, even though there are so many weapons of mass destruction on the Earth Origin Star, our ancestors during the pioneering period still sacrificed their lives and shed their blood to pave a way for us?"

Haven't you ever been curious? How could you not have been curious?

He had already thought about this question a long time ago, but he just didn't have an answer.

The Earth Origin Star only officially entered the pioneering period fifty years ago. At that time, the technology of the Earth Origin Star was definitely not comparable to that of today, but it already had various equivalents of "big mushrooms".

The extraordinary people are indeed individually powerful, but as far as the extraordinary people Lin Xuan has seen so far, he really doesn't think that anyone can withstand the "big mushroom".

Even if some people with special abilities might be able to survive the explosion of the 'big mushroom', there certainly won't be many such people.

It would be even more impossible for the humanoid species like those that Lin Xuan and his companions encountered in the Forgotten Wasteland to withstand the power of the 'Big Mushroom'.

Regarding these issues, Lin Xuan could only barely understand that the Diyuan Star might not want to destroy the resources on the old land, or did not want to make too much noise so as not to cause more trouble?
But these reasons are obviously far-fetched.

But now listening to what Lin Xinrui said, there is obviously a more intuitive reason.

Lin Xinrui didn't beat around the bush and said, "The Old Land World is an extremely strange and complex world. There are some strange rules here. No one knows where these rules came from. Even those legendary domain kings and even the gods who can't descend to the Old Land don't know...

One of the rules is that all "non-Old Earth creations" cannot function properly in Old Earth, and even if they are brought over, various problems will arise.

In the early days, the Earth Origin Star was not aware of the existence of such rules in the Old Land. After all, the pioneers at that time did not even know the Old Land language, so naturally they had no way of knowing about this. It was not until they suffered a lot that they figured out what was going on. "

Things that are not created in the Old Land cannot function normally in the Old Land?

A look of surprise appeared on Lin Xuan's little face.

Because this was indeed beyond his range of guessing. Even if he was asked to guess ten more times, he might not be able to guess the truth.

No wonder Diyuanxing suffered such a huge loss in the early days of its development.

"Even if someone from Earth Origin Star had been to Old Land thousands of years ago, the people on Earth Origin Star at that time had no idea what technology was, so there was naturally no need to leave any special records of such things."

Lin Xuan quickly figured out many key points.

But then he had a new question: "Wait, if that's true, then wouldn't the mechanical energy users be at a disadvantage in the old land? But I see that Brother Donghuang and the others don't seem to be affected at all, how can that be possible?"

Tong Di, who was driving, suddenly laughed and said, "It's the same as my little baby. From the body material to the energy supply, there is nothing that is unrelated to the old soil, so naturally there won't be any problems."

That's it!

Tong Di's words suddenly enlightened Lin Xuan.

This principle is actually not complicated, but if you don’t think in this direction, it is easy to miss the point.

That's right... Since the rules of the Old Land are such that non-Old Land creations cannot function properly in the Old Land, wouldn't it be better to use Old Land creations as much as possible?

After all, there are no rules on the Earth Origin Star that do not allow Old Earth creations to operate normally on the Earth Origin Star.

Li Zhi added: "This is actually why the major powers on Earth Origin Star are so persistent in building their main cities in Old Land, because only in this way can they more conveniently obtain various resources. Many key materials and energy sources are also very rare in Old Land, and no civilization will have too much."

Lin Xuan nodded to show that he understood.

After Li Zhi's additional explanation, Lin Xuan also understood why the countries on Diyuan Star seemed to be struggling to maintain their territories, and the amount of territories owned could directly reflect the strength of a country.

Looking at it this way now, it is indeed reasonable.

"This may also be the reason why the number of mechanical energy users has not increased. Apart from the preparations of various countries to deal with unexpected situations, perhaps no one would be willing to become a mechanical energy user who will be turned into waste as soon as he enters the Old Land." Lin Xuan also figured out another thing that he had not been able to fully figure out before.

Because among all the major supernatural occupation systems, mechanical operators, as supernatural operators on the technological side, are the easiest to work in batches.

But based on Lin Xuan's personal experience, the number of mechanical energy users is very limited, far less than that of martial artists and mutants.

Lin Xuan felt a little puzzled before, but now he immediately understood what was going on.

Obviously, whether it is Chen Donghuang or Tong Di, the various materials they used to become mechanical energy users originally came from the old soil.

Even the off-road vehicle that Tong Di made himself was made of old soil materials, so it can travel smoothly.

Lin Xinrui added: "Since the establishment of several main cities in Taixia, although we have not found some key raw materials for making the 'big mushroom', we have also made a batch of powerful weapons. Even many commander-level creatures are not sure of escaping unscathed when facing these weapons.

This is also one of the reasons why we can gain a foothold in the old land. As long as we don’t take the initiative to provoke those powerful civilizations and forces, at least we can protect ourselves.”

Lin Xuan nodded to show that he understood.

This can also explain why some people are equipped with guns whether in Taiyuan Camp or Nanmu Town.

Obviously, Taixia, which owns four main cities in the Old Land world, should have built some arsenals in the Old Land.

Even if it is impossible to create a killer weapon like the 'Big Mushroom' because some raw materials are difficult to obtain, it is still no problem to mass-produce ordinary firearms.

However, the deterrent effect of these ordinary firearms is very limited.

Even if it was a low-level ogre, it wouldn't be in any serious trouble if it was hit by ordinary bullets, unless it was directly attacked by suppressive fire.

But from what Lin Xinrui and the others said just now, even the materials for making ordinary guns and bullets are definitely not cheap in Jiutu.

If all of them were used to make ordinary firearms and bullets, it might be a waste, and the effect they might bring might not be as immediate as that of a transcendent who has just entered the level of a general.

Therefore, ordinary technological creations may be very useless in the old land. Simply put, their cost-effectiveness is extremely low.

Building a car directly on the old soil like Tong Di should be considered a very luxurious act. …

More than half an hour later.

Tong Di slowly slowed down the car and said to everyone:
"My radar detected that there is a town about three kilometers ahead. Let's walk there."

Lin Xuan and the others didn't ask any more questions and jumped out of the car one after another.

If it were an hour ago, Lin Xuan would probably have wondered why he didn't just drive over there, but after realizing the value of an old homemade car, he naturally understood that this was done to conceal his wealth.

To use Sheng Naiqi's previous words, the value of Tong Di's car is enough to buy the materials needed to transform several miscellaneous soldier-level mechanical transformers.

Driving this car to a gathering place outside of Taixia's territory is tantamount to telling everyone - there is a group of fat sheep here, welcome to slaughter.

When Lin Xuan and the others got out of the car, Tong Di also got out. He then took out another metal ball similar to the previous one and threw it on the SUV.

With a flash of strange light, the off-road vehicle they were riding in disappeared from the spot, leaving only a small metal ball dropped on the ground.

Tong Di walked forward, picked it up, and threw it into the small schoolbag on her back.

"Done, let's go——"

After doing all this, Tong Di signaled everyone to set off.

"What...wait a minute!"

Sheng Naiqi suddenly called out to everyone.

Fortunately, Lin Xuan had just helped everyone remember who he was not long ago, and his characteristics were not so exaggerated that they would be forgotten as soon as they turned their heads around, so although everyone would still subconsciously ignore him, they would not forget who he was so quickly.

Sheng Naiqi: "Although I have never been to Baichuan Territory, our appearance will be a bit eye-catching no matter where we are in the old land. How about we do some disguise first?"

Sheng Naiqi's proposal was immediately recognized by Li Zhi and Lin Xinrui.

They were both relatively older than the others in the third team and had been to Old Land quite often, so they naturally understood what Sheng Naiqi meant.

The oldest among them are Lin Xinrui and Li Zhi, but they are only twelve or thirteen years old at most. Even though Li Zhi looks a little anxious, he looks no more than sixteen or seventeen years old.

In addition, there were a few people who looked less than ten years old, as well as a little guy like Lin Xuan. It would be hard not to attract attention when they walked together.

In terms of their strength, they are actually not weaker than some ordinary teams in Jiutu, but it would be a waste if they were targeted because of their appearance.

"I don't know much about these. What should I do?" Xing Yan asked in difficulty.

"I don't know either." Fang Jingjing spread her hands.

As for Lin Xuan, he hasn't learned this skill yet.

However, Sheng Naiqi's words did remind him that he really had to learn the skill of changing his appearance, as it would definitely be useful in the future.

"I can do it, just leave it to me!"

Sheng Naiqi patted his chest and took the job directly. Then he looked around and asked, "Who will go first?"

Tong Di shook his head and said, "I don't need it, you can do it for them."

As he spoke, Tong Di raised his hand and pressed the side of the monocle on his face, and the next moment his whole body changed——

However, eight mechanical tentacles suddenly extended from both sides of the schoolbag behind him, and quickly formed a layer of silver metal armor around his body.

In the final stage, a gorgeous metal mask was put on his face, so that his entire body was covered in metal armor!

In this way, it is hard to tell that this is a teenager.

"I'll do it myself." Li Zhi also said with a smile.

As soon as he finished speaking, layers of black scales suddenly appeared on his face and body, making him look completely different in an instant!

Lin Xuan and the others were not surprised to see this, because they already knew that Li Zhi was a beastman, but they were not sure what kind of bloodline he had fused with, because Li Zhi had not had the opportunity to use his full strength so far.

As for the others, they are not very good at these things, so they can only leave it to Sheng Naiqi.

……

In a valley a few kilometers away from Nanmu Town.

Two pitch-black crows flapped their wings, landed on a big tree, and after a puff of smoke, they turned into two people.

One of them was the mayor of Nanmu Town, Duanmu Ci, and the other was naturally the man wearing the raven mask before.

Duanmu Ci looked miserable at this moment. One of his arms was missing, one of his eyes was blind, and his face had lost much of its color.

As for the man next to him wearing a raven mask, he didn't look much better than him, with his left abdomen completely pierced!

Even the raven mask on his face was broken in half, revealing half of his chin.

"Okay, okay, what a great Chi Yan. I'll remember this!" The raven-masked man who was called Qiankui by Duanmu Ci said gritting his teeth.

"Stop talking so harshly. Do you think you can cause trouble for Chi Yan by yourself?" Duanmu Ci said expressionlessly.

"We still have you. Let's work together and kill those three despicable bastards sooner or later!" Qian Kui, the raven-masked man, said fiercely.

"No, if you want to kill them, just do it yourself, don't drag me into it."

"Why, are you feeling nostalgic? Or do you think you won't be wanted by Taixia after this?" Qian Kui, the raven-masked man, mocked.

"Of course I know I'll be wanted, but I joined you just to have the opportunity to go further, not to risk my life for no reason."

Duanmu Ci glanced at the other party coldly and said, "Of course, if you can get the higher-ups to issue a bounty on them and even the entire Chiyan, I am not afraid to risk my life to fight with you..."

Upon hearing this, Qian Kui, the raven-masked man, could only smile awkwardly.

If he really had the ability, he wouldn't bother making such harsh remarks here, because with the strength of the Raven Council, even overthrowing the entire Red Flame would be no problem.

But the problem is, he is just an ordinary member of the Raven Council. How can he have the qualifications to ask the higher-ups to issue a bounty on Chi Yan?

Duanmu Ci's words were just a response to his mockery.
