Lords: From Civilization to the Stars.

Chapter 39 Take your destiny into your own hands

In Leon's view, as his knowledge of magic and understanding of chaos deepened, his progress in forbidden magic technology grew almost by leaps and bounds.

As the Oak of Time was completely corrupted, Leon saw from high above that the giant tree, like a mountain, was eroded and eventually glowed with a weird, pale green sap from its crown. He then realized that those broken chaotic concepts were being quickly absorbed by his own power.

In this world, only Leon holds the power of the Corruption Temple, and the Corruption Temple can only take away things that Leon brings. So he understood the progress of his magic.

Demons are a phenomenon, and killing them can gain technology and magic points.

However, the phenomenon of chaos erosion itself is also a phenomenon.

As long as the conversion method is appropriate, this concept itself can be turned into technology and magic points.

The magical wind blowing across the chaotic wasteland looked more like flying technology points and magic points in Leon's eyes. However, he was just a corrupt lord and had no ability to get those things.

But based on this, Li Ang began his own thinking.

In other words, these things should essentially be just a phenomenon, not their characteristics?
Is it because these phenomena and requirements came together that the four individuals who claimed to be gods were born?
Looking at the rotten oak of the times, Leon expressionlessly separated some of his knowledge from his impression and threw it into the swamp.

Then he saw a festering demon crawling out of the corrupt swamp.

“…Knowledge is poisonous.”

Casually taking away the knowledge of the howling demon, Leon looked at the panel of the dangerous technology and made his own judgment.

It is too early to turn against the so-called Chaos God.

Le Ang needs more people, more pioneers, and more regions to extend his sphere of influence further away.

Moreover, these four have been rooted in this world for too long. So long that the players don't know how long it has been. Or is it that in the distant past, when Leon didn't know when, the wailing and desires of countless people in this world forged these four twisted so-called gods?

Li Ang still remembers when they caused trouble for him.

The more than one hundred Blood Eagles, the initial demon army, and the combat troops that must be maintained now are all major blows to Leon's initial development.

He wanted to take his destiny into his own hands instead of relying on so-called tokens or gifts from gods.

But now that I have obtained the path of life, I must first look at the status of myself and the city.

Of the four great paths, only the last joy remained to be obtained.

But Li Ang has already figured it out.

Perhaps the difference between technology and gods, faith and magic is not particularly great in this world. I can wait for the right opportunity, use the population to strengthen my image, and create my own path of joy.

After re-infusing the life force purified from the Corrupted Temple into his body to keep himself alive, Leon continued to float in the air in the observatory, checking the status of himself and civilization without sleep.

'Player: Li Ang'

'Status: Near death (Wind of Magic continues to last, vitality continues to be infused)'

'Skills: None'

'Evaluation: If your servant Ulfric tries to kill you from a distance of ten meters, you will definitely die. But Ulfric will definitely not be able to resist what appears after you die. Life and death are just a transition state for you now. You may still lack an opportunity, you need to make up your mind.'

Pretty normal numbers, nothing surprising.

Li Ang knew that with his sudden death-level work intensity, he would need magic and vitality sooner or later. These parts can be glanced at, but the important thing is the next city panel. 'City: Land of Descendants'

'City population: 2447 (Norse migration)'

'Urban area: God-given plains, giant tree outpost, experimental area'

'Learning level: illiterate'

'Current Culture: 6 (Cultural Director, Holy Grail)'

'Current Faith (Magic): 1421 (Stonehenge, Experimental Area, God Worship Feature Blessing)'

'City Evaluation: An impossible city built on wonders. Its establishment, extension, and expansion are all the result of wonders. However, these wonders can become nails that penetrate into the chaotic wasteland and open up impossible roads for those who come after.'

"There are still not enough people! Not enough people! People, people, people, people! Give me more people! Give me more power!"

Otherwise, when will we be able to walk towards the starry sky?
How long will we stay on the planet?
Lying in the void of the observatory, Leon looked at the two moons hanging high in the sky, and the pure white planet, then slowly stretched out his hand and grasped the outline of the ivory.

The result of long-term manipulation of unimaginable huge magic power and prying the magic wind of the entire area is that there are even cracks on the outline of the palm that are not like those of a human. The light blue magic wind flows on the body and even replaces part of the body function of the blood.

Li Ang stared at the full moon in his palm, slowly closed his eyes, and let out a long sigh.

"When will you come... Chivalrous Expedition..."

My high-quality population is waiting for you.

Li Ang slowly closed his eyes and chose the technology option that was almost black.

'Have you chosen to study Cross-Tech, Introduction to Magical Matter?'

'The prerequisites for this technology are: Emotion is Void, Any Path, Magic Manipulation, Mysticism, Mathematics, Rational Thought or Wisdom Path (cannot overlap with Any Path conditions)'

'This technology is special and may bring special results and extensions. Please choose carefully.'

'Emotions are emptiness'

'Emptiness is existence'

'Existence is will'

'Will is the world'

'Subsequent extension theory - Psionic theory (abnormal technology)

Prerequisite: Unable to calculate

Required points: Planet units cannot be calculated'
