Gods: Civilization Cultivation, Infinite War

Chapter 224 Heavenly Capital Laws
The Zerg are not a species that commonly exists in the material world, such as insects.

However, the reason why the Zerg are called the Zerg is indeed because they have some kind of connection with insects.

Under normal circumstances, insects living in the material world are also part of the natural cycle, and often occupy a relatively low position in the food chain.

No matter how advanced it becomes, it will never deviate from the normal cycle of nature.

However, nothing is absolute. During the growth process, any insect may break free from its original genetic limitations and evolve in an unknown direction.

Once this evolutionary process crosses a certain threshold, the original insects will completely transform into the Zerg.

After becoming Zerg, they have broken away from the normal cycle of heaven and earth, and are able to devour all concrete matter and even conceptual rules to split and evolve themselves.

The devastating catastrophe that will sweep everything away will also evolve rapidly from this starting point.

Many of the crystal walls in the endless void are due to the emergence of the Zerg within them.

Furthermore, the threat was not detected and dealt with in time. Once the Zerg had accumulated enough, a catastrophe that swept everything erupted, and the entire Crystal Wall System was beyond saving.

After devouring the entire crystal wall system, the Zerg will also search for new targets to devour in the endless void.

The T09-3057 crystal wall system did not initially include the Zerg.

However, when the insectoid race from the outside world arrived, the ecological rules of the T09-3057 crystal wall system itself were also affected to some extent.

The probability of all insects breaking free from their original genetic limitations and evolving in unknown directions has increased significantly.

Even in core areas like Tiandu City, which were occupied by natives, a large number of insectoids could not be prevented from being born, requiring a great deal of manpower and resources to prevent and suppress them.

As for completely eliminating all insects to achieve a permanent solution, that is almost impossible.

After all, insects are also species that have evolved naturally according to the rules of nature. If we want to completely eliminate them, we must start from the level of the rules.

Even gods who control the rules of heaven and earth would find it difficult to do this, let alone eternal transcendents who do not control the rules.

Moreover, all living beings in the universe, and everything in the material world, are part of the rules.

If insects are completely eradicated, the rules corresponding to them, even if they don't disappear directly, will certainly suffer enormous damage.

The fact that the T09-3057 crystal wall system has been able to persist for so long is largely due to the crucial role played by the laws of nature.

It is not worth disrupting the laws of nature in order to solve the problems caused by insects.

In comparison, the cost of expending a great deal of manpower and resources to prevent and suppress such activities is much smaller.

After all, the natives and the Zerg have had quite a few dealings.

While they can't handle the large Zerg forces, dealing with the Zerg that spawn in their own territory isn't too difficult.

As long as we are careful, nothing unexpected should happen.

The final task Tianheng gave Nidie was to help suppress the insectoid race that had emerged in Tiandu City.

Of course, given the strength of Tiandu City, it wouldn't need players to help suppress the Zerg within.

After all, before the arrival of the Alliance of All Spirits, the main pressure faced by the capital city was only from the outside.

As for the insectoid race that spawns within it, it can only be considered a minor ailment, not a big problem.

Despite having just experienced a cataclysmic insect swarm, Tiandu City did not suffer any major losses thanks to the help of the All-Spirit Alliance's army and players.

Suppressing the Zerg within would not be a problem at all.

The many sections of the Great Wall outside Tiandu City need the player's help to suppress the surrounding insectoids.

Before the arrival of the Alliance of All Souls, many of the Walls had very little control over the surrounding areas.

Now that we have enough manpower, we can carry out a thorough cleanup of the surrounding area, strengthen control over the area, and reduce the probability of an insect swarm.

The task that Tianheng gave to Nidie was less about asking Nidie for help and more about providing her with a good place to level up quickly.

The quest "Stabilize Internal Troubles" not only provides double experience points but also grants extra merit points that can be exchanged for treasures.

Most importantly, this task has a permanent time limit.

In other words, except when the battle breaks out, the Reverse Butterfly can stay in Tiandu City to perform missions.

For Ni Die, the entire Tiandu City had become a treasure trove where he could reliably level up.

After completing the task of demonstrating the role of experience points to Tianheng, Nidie gained another 10,000 experience points.

With the remaining experience points, there was just enough for Reverse Butterfly to raise her level from 18 to 20 and change her class.

After completing her job change at the base and becoming a superhuman, Reverse Butterfly arrived in front of a massive building.

Before she could even enter, the guards outside the building had already stopped her.

"Sir, this is the important territory of the Disaster Relief Department. No one may enter without proper credentials."

The Disaster Suppression Bureau is an agency in Tiandu City specifically for suppressing the Zerg within the city, and it is located throughout the entire city.

Since the Zerg have broken away from the normal cycle of nature, it is difficult to determine relevant information about the newly born Zerg through methods such as causal determination.

Therefore, the capital city could only distribute the disaster relief offices in various places.

The most basic method to determine if there are traces of the Zerg is to monitor changes in the earth's veins or even scan every inch of land for any unusual activity.

Once any suspicious points are discovered or the location of the Zerg is confirmed, personnel will be immediately dispatched to verify and suppress them.

The work of guarding the Disaster Relief Bureau was originally very easy.

After all, the natives of Tiandu City were well aware of the meaning of the Disaster Relief Department.

The work of suppressing the Zerg has nothing to do with ordinary natives, so they naturally wouldn't bother coming here to join in the fun.

Until the arrival of the All Souls Alliance, or rather, the players.

The All-Spirit Alliance's army was naturally uninterested in the work of the Disaster Relief Division; they had more important responsibilities to fulfill.

However, players have shown considerable interest in the Disaster Relief Bureau.

After all, there are very few ways for players to gain experience before a new battle breaks out.

While it's possible to gain experience by completing native missions, the amount of experience gained is far too little.

If there are too few high-quality tasks, the leveling speed will be significantly reduced.

But the Disaster Relief Bureau's job is to suppress the Zerg.

As long as you can accept the mission from the Disaster Relief Bureau, not to mention the rewards provided by the mission itself, the experience points provided by killing the Zerg alone can increase the player's leveling speed.

Unfortunately, Tiandu City has enough manpower to suppress the Zerg inside without the need for players to join.

Allowing players to join prematurely could increase unknown risks and raise the cost of suppressing the Zerg.

Therefore, aside from a small number of players who can accept commissions from the Disaster Relief Bureau, most players can only take on low-paying tasks to accumulate experience and level up. And players aren't the type to blindly obey orders.

Even the mere presence of a small number of players was enough to overwhelm the guards of the Disaster Relief Bureau.

If these players hadn't been somewhat restrained and hadn't gone too far...

Furthermore, they are all heroes who protected Tiandu City, and they deserve respect both morally and logically. The guards of the Disaster Relief Bureau had already turned against them.

The reverse butterfly didn't seem bothered by the guards' obstruction.

Although she had never come to the Disaster Relief Bureau to pester them for tasks, she had already heard about some of the other players' behavior.

Ni Die took out the token that Tian Heng had given her and handed it to the guard in front of her, then spoke.

"This is my proof."

The guard accepted the token from the Reverse Butterfly without showing any surprise.

Most players are still below level 20 and have not yet become extraordinary beings.

However, some players have not only become extraordinary beings, but have even become high-ranking extraordinary beings, that is, high-level extraordinary beings.

Even without the halo of the players protecting Tiandu City, the strength of these high-level superhumans alone was enough to make the local disaster relief offices treat them with respect.

The Disaster Suppression Division can suppress the Zerg in Tiandu City without the player's help.

However, they don't mind forming some kind of cooperative relationship with high-level transcendent players.

Under the continuous suppression of the Disaster Relief Bureau, the probability of a swarm of insects forming in Tiandu City is almost zero.

In this situation, the superhumans involved in suppressing the Zerg are at most high-level superhumans.

If something unexpected happens, the signs of the Zerg's birth and development will not be detected in time.

When the Disaster Suppression Division needs to exert its full strength to suppress the situation, high-level extraordinary individuals are already powerful figures who can directly influence the course of the battle.

After establishing cooperative relationships with these high-level transcendent players, the local disaster relief agencies will also gift them a batch of exclusive vouchers, allowing them to better cultivate players in their own faction.

Within the player community, there are also some guilds and similar organizations.

Lower-level players can leverage guild resources to improve themselves, while the value created by many lower-level players can also help the guild's higher-ups.

However, this relationship can't be considered very close.

Reverse Butterfly also joined a guild, but never received any concrete benefits.

Of course, she didn't create any value for the guild either.

The guards of the Disaster Relief Bureau originally thought that the Reverse Butterfly's certificate was one of the many certificates they had given away.

However, after receiving the credentials, the guard discovered that the Reverse Butterfly's credentials did not come from the Disaster Relief Bureau, at least not from their local Disaster Relief Bureau.

Although these credentials are only issued to players, there is no strict rule that they can only be used in the corresponding Disaster Relief Bureau.

However, under normal circumstances, no one would take the certificate to another disaster relief office to collect the task.

The information from the credentials was collected into the token, and the guard needed to confirm which department of the Disaster Relief Bureau the Reverse Butterfly's credentials came from.

The vouchers issued by the various local disaster relief offices did not have a uniform format.

The validity of a certificate is not determined by its appearance or material, but by the information contained within it.

Once the information was confirmed and transmitted from the token to his mind, the guard's eyes widened in disbelief.

"The laws of the Heavenly Capital!?"

The so-called Heavenly Capital Laws do not represent any institution in Heavenly Capital City, nor are they items that any local disaster relief office is authorized to issue.

To some extent, the laws and regulations of the capital city represent the supreme power of the entire capital city.

Every word and action of the person who holds this command can be seen as the will of the entity behind it.

In the entire capital city, there are only a handful of people qualified to bestow the laws and decrees of the capital.

The guards' exclamations reached the ears of the others, who also wore expressions of disbelief.

Although Tiandu City is named after a city, it actually occupies an extremely vast area.

For the natives at the level of the Zhenzai Division's guards, the Tiandu Law, which represents the supreme power of Tiandu City, is a legendary item.

"Could there be a mistake? How could the Heavenly Capital Laws possibly be on someone from outside the realm?"

Since Reverse Butterfly had not yet revealed his identity as a player, the guards could not determine whether he was a player or an army of the All-Spirit Alliance.

However, for them, the two terms mean the same thing.

"Impossible. This is the result obtained by the token after analyzing the information. This is the Heavenly Capital Law."

Although the Heavenly Capital Laws are precious, they are not mysterious. After all, even they know of the existence and meaning of the Heavenly Capital Laws, but they have never seen them in person.

The tokens they carried were special items used by Tiandu City to detect the properties of various items, so they naturally wouldn't make a mistake in this regard.

"The token that Tianheng gave me seems to be very precious."

Seeing the reactions of the guards, Ni Die pondered to herself.

Her level is too low, and the system's detection technology cannot detect everything.

When she used the detection technique on Tianheng, all she knew was that his information panel was gold, and nothing else.

It now appears that Tianheng's status in Tiandu City is definitely not low.

But thinking about it, it makes sense. Even legendary natives only have purple stats, so Tianheng, as a gold legendary, must have a very high status.

As for what this token actually represents or how precious it is, Ni Die doesn't really care.

At least for now, the only use of this Heavenly Capital Decree for me is as a token to carry out the task of "stabilizing internal troubles".

Once I reach a higher level, I might be able to use this token to do other things, but that's a matter for the future.

"Sir, there is no problem with your credentials. I will send someone to escort you to the important area immediately."

The guard returned the Heavenly Capital Decree to Ni Die and spoke respectfully.

"There's no need to arrange for anyone else. I will personally escort Lord Commander into this important area."

A figure emerged from the Disaster Relief Bureau, approached Ni Die, and bowed deeply.

"Your humble servant Liu Yuan greets Your Excellency."
