Mecha Era, Punch the Stars

Conflicts between tribes?
interesting.

Li Yi noticed this scene and became interested as well.

The conflict between tribes that controlled fire and those that controlled nests marked a significant turning point in the rise of wisdom.

Human history followed a similar path in its early stages.

This kind of cultural heritage is what transcends ordinary intelligence and is the key to the establishment of civilization.

As a new civilization system is formed, it gradually moves towards exploring the outside world, thereby deepening its understanding of various laws.

Although the process will be very long, with the acceleration within the microcosm, one can still discern some of its underlying structure.

So, how will this civilization evolve in the future?
Upon realizing this, Li Yi immediately abandoned his idea of ​​adding something extra.

Instead of interfering, let's see how they evolve and become a qualified creator god.

Only in this way can we see the benefits brought about by the evolution of different civilizations.

"Smart coding is not static."

"As they acquire more knowledge and their lives change, their intellectual coding also undergoes subtle changes."

"Interesting. This is a rare example of sympathetic change-based intelligent coding."

"It seems that what I need to do next is to provide a stage for life."

"The rest is up to them to perform."

"All I need to do is prevent them from going down the evil path of seizing the laws."

Li Yi understood immediately.

He continued to observe the development of the tribe, paying attention to the extent to which each event affected their intellectual code.

At this point, the high priest of the Nest God, after careful consideration, made a decision and said:
"The Fire-Maker has mastered a method to cook meat and enhance its flavor; it is truly remarkable."

"But they have no divine magic to make their nests strong enough to protect them from wild animals and from the wind and rain."

"We, the Chao family, are the apostles of the gods' mercy!"

"To seek refuge with them is absolutely out of the question!"

The confidant was taken aback: "We now have less than fifty able-bodied men left in our tribe. The rest are the elderly, children, the sick, and the disabled. They won't come to us. What will we do if they attack us?"

"We won't surrender to them. Let's avoid them for now. If they attack, we'll just stay away and not confront them head-on."

The high priest of the Nest God said:

“Those who defected are all fools. Even if they know how to build tree nests, their skills aren’t good. Those who are skilled didn’t defect. The rainy season is starting in a few days. We’ll have nests to shelter from the rain, but they haven’t even finished building them yet.”

"Therefore, we can simply wait for the gods to send down a great rain to extinguish their fire."

“Once their fire goes out, they won’t be able to be so arrogant.”

"Now, let's talk to them again."

"Their morale has waned, so we can only get the best deal if we go and negotiate."

"If you surrender now, I have supreme divine arts that will ensure your safety, but you will definitely suffer a miserable fate."

The confidant was skeptical: "Is this really possible? How did the high priest determine that the rainy season would begin in a few days?"

High Priest of the Nest God: "I possess supreme divine arts bestowed upon me by the gods; all you need to do is follow in my footsteps."

The next day, the Firefly Clan attacked. A group of dog-men, wielding bone hammers and axes, came whistling with their bare, hairy upper bodies, like a pack of hyenas.

The lookouts brought word that the high priest of the nest had ordered everyone in the tribe to hide in their tree nests.

Suihu was skilled at using fire, but he wasn't at the point where he could use fire at will, nor could he ignite this damp tree.

After observing Youchao's retreat for a while, a group of young and strong dog-men, armed with weapons, climbed up the tree.

At that time, their bone and stone tools were not sharp enough to split the giant tree, but they were all agile and quickly climbed up the tree.

The able-bodied men who remained in the tree nest began throwing stones, knocking down the Fireflies that had climbed the tree. After a struggle, as darkness fell, the Fireflies gradually retreated.

The first tribal conflict ended with most of the tree climbers suffering minor injuries and a few suffering serious injuries.

The next day, the Firefly brought charcoal torches that had been prepared in advance. Since they were not easy to light in the damp environment, they decided to suffocate them with the smoke.

Beneath the tree of Youchao, a large amount of relatively dry grass and leaves were spread out, and flames flickered and white smoke rose into the air.

Soon, coughing sounds began to rise from the tree nest.

Stoneflame, the leader of the Flintfire clan, walked to the center of the tree nests, surrounded by a group of canine-human hybrids, and spoke loudly:

"All able-bodied men of the Youchao clan who surrender now will be spared and will receive three pieces of fragrant roasted meat!"

Despite the billowing smoke and constant coughing, the remaining members of the Youchao clan refused to surrender.

The remaining people were the most skilled and deeply believed in the existence of the Nest God, so they dared not betray him.

After a busy day, Suihuo returned empty-handed once again.

Only a few able-bodied men were left to guard the area in rotation.

This time, they planned to starve them until they passed out before going up to steal the sturdy tree nests.

As for construction skills, they have already accepted a group of traitors from the Youchao clan, so even if their skills are lacking, they can temporarily make up for it with time.

On the third day, it rained heavily.

On the fourth day, the heavy rain continued.

The situation suddenly reversed.

Suihu could only return to the cave to take shelter from the rain.

But the rain has been too heavy these past two days, causing rivers to overflow and surge into massive floods that have filled the caves.

The Suihuo clan was wiped out, with most of the young, weak, sick, and disabled killed. Even the young and strong members of the Youchao clan who had defected were drowned because their tree nests had not yet been built.

Most of the tree troughs of the Youchao clan were built on giant trees over ten meters tall. Although they were also attacked by wind and rain and were in danger, several tree nests collapsed.

But most of them survived.

The heavy rain stopped, the floodwaters receded, and people gradually landed on the ground.

Because they had stockpiled food in advance, they were in pretty good condition overall over the past three days, despite experiencing many hardships.

Only a small number of people were affected by the cold, becoming weak, shivering, and pale, and it was clear that they did not have much time left.

But the survivors did not look at their dead kin.

It is all too common to die from catching a cold.

The confidant knelt fanatically before the high priest of the nest god, roaring:

"With the High Priest protected by supreme divine magic, our Chao Clan is the strongest tribe!"

"High Priest, you are great!"

"High Priest, you are great!"

Amidst the frenzied roar, the entire Youchao clan mobilized and swiftly attacked the Suihuo clan, capturing all the male dog-men and seizing all the female dog-men captives.

Several young and beautiful female dog-people also appeared beside the high priest.

They mastered the technology of flint, which allowed them to eat cooked meat, eradicated some diseases, and their population flourished again.

The average life expectancy has increased from 20 to 25 years.

The second generation of Youchao clan gradually grew up, and the tribe's population reached five hundred.

On this day, the High Priest of the Nest God sat before a bone throne, listening to his sons' reports on their pioneering work. (End of Chapter)
