You became an emperor by letting me AFK.

The faint seepage cracks completely disappeared without a trace.

Her attacks would travel along the extended tentacles to reach the essence of the body and then be annihilated. They even possessed a certain degree of "transmissibility," causing the surrounding evil beings to suffer as well, creating a brief vacuum in the polluted subspace.

At this point, all was silent; the campaign was complete.

Chapter 86 is named Terra (10K).

Xia He was still worried.

He controlled the barbarian, holding a spear in one hand and driving a sled in the other, searching the surroundings to check for danger.

The person she chose happened to be a hunter, and he had basic equipment, including bows and arrows, javelins, and slings, so he could easily deal with the enemy and wasn't afraid of these cowardly creatures.

Seemingly fearing the methods of Heaven, that hint of danger was completely eliminated.

However, a small problem was left unresolved.

Several polluted families fled in the snowstorm, but Xia He was not about to let them go.

Draw the bow and nock the arrow.

A terrifying force ripped the longbow apart, and the arrow flew like a meteor, streaking across the snow-covered sky and piercing straight into the target's back.

The other person naturally collapsed with a thud, and the others were treated in the same way.

They were barely adequate against well-trained warriors, let alone against a possessed being inhabited by the Heavenly Dao. In a sense, they were lucky among the evils of the warp, because their status was too high to know the true nature of the hunter before them.

I know absolutely nothing about it.

Anyone with even a modicum of insight who detects even a trace of a power projection from an extremely high level will have it completely dissipate on the spot, and the process will be extremely painful.

Now they could only watch helplessly as a barbarian hunter approached, spear in hand.

Click!

Xia He carefully controlled her character to finish off the enemies one by one, knowing she couldn't let her guard down in the subspace. Just like how "Civilization Evolution" actually had a built-in "Biohazard Zombie Mode" gameplay, that was real chaos, and the pollution had to be eradicated for safety.

Seeing the enemy completely dead, the dog beside him grinned and barked, its tongue lolling out.

They seemed to be celebrating their master's might and bravery.

Although I sensed something unusual about the hunter, he must be a good person who helped everyone and protected the ice plains from invasion.

"take it."

Xia He casually hunted a few snow rabbits and tossed the prey to the huskies, who immediately devoured them.

After going around in circles, Xia He arrived at the ocean ice beach.

"The Arctic Ocean of this world?"

Its area is probably similar to that of Earth, except that the adjacent permafrost is relatively smaller. This was intentional on her part, as she had created more maps that would benefit civilizations to avoid wasting them.

After all, if you get a bad hand, wouldn't it be a waste of computing power to just throw away your progress?

There are ultimately very few forbidden zones, and the proportion of rotten land has been reduced significantly. Overall, it is much better than Earth.

Like a cradle.

She found a letter on the body of the last dead explorer, who was still making notes in his final moments; the pen stopped at a blurry sentence:

Where is the end of our world? Is it here? What should it be called?

The question ultimately became blurred and came to an abrupt end.

"Thinking about it carefully, it seems like I've always called this world, but it doesn't even have a name?"

Xia He's idea wasn't a sudden whim. After examining the expedition team members' belongings, everyone seemed to be curious about the distance and the world, and enthusiastically named various landmarks along the way.

No wonder.

They wouldn't have been selected if they didn't have this passion.

In fact, based on our understanding, all known civilizations lack a unified name for this world; they all refer to it as their own country rather than the concept of "world."

It seemed as if the position was vacant and awaiting someone else.

This is mostly due to the limited level of scientific understanding in ancient times.

Xia He's eyes lit up and she said, "Since it's a world similar to Earth, let's just call it Terra—"

Before the words were even finished, in a corner unseen by those in higher positions, all living beings and even all things were inscribed with a new name. The vast yet gentle spiritual energy silently marked it, and all wills and subconscious minds had a unified and anchored understanding of this name: Terra.

It is not about language, not about verbal communication, and not even about thoughts, but about information engraved at the bottom of the world, one of the unchanging standards of the universe.

His true name transcends all things.

No matter how complex the languages ​​or communication methods may be in the future universe, reciting the word "Terra" will always be the same, serving as one of the channels through which different communication methods can anchor and communicate with each other.

It also became increasingly bright to the many beings in the subspace.

Dai La

The power behind it swept across all directions, pierced through the shackles, and will resonate forever.

Even in the subspace where space and time are not so clear, it was felt, which ignited the interest of many wills, and of course, they knew what kind of great power named it.

We dare not make any small moves for the time being.

Getting hit by a gun barrel is no joke; it will evaporate completely.

Xia He, being in a position where she couldn't see the more microscopic activities, didn't notice the power behind the naming, and instead continued to observe.

Whoosh!

A polar bear drifted by on an ice floe not far away, lazily yawning. There was blood at the corner of its mouth, probably from a recent meal, and it lay flat on its back on the ice, sunbathing.

There was probably no danger anymore, and the surroundings became quiet.

She also checked with administrator privileges and found no contamination. She muttered, "Sure enough, in ancient times, barbarians spawned in the frontier fog zone. As the era progressed further, warp contamination would spawn. There will always be a matching version of garbage."

The corners and crevices of the chair will refresh the thorny mantis.

Similarly, dangers often brew in areas where the influence of civilization cannot reach, and they are difficult to guard against.

Humanity's way of confronting this is to develop civilization and illuminate the surroundings.

According to the reward mechanism of "Civilization Evolution", defeating these clans will actually grant more psionic points, not to mention military experience, technological advancements, and so on. You might even make a big leap forward in technology with a flash of inspiration.

So be it.

After much thought, Xia He felt that she shouldn't interfere too much. Taking a look and doing things for someone are two different things. She couldn't let Daqian become a hothouse flower.

I explored the Arctic because I was curious about the fog on the map.

When playing games, she enjoys the feeling of gradually uncovering the mystery around her and finally confirming the geographical environment.

Geography determines history.

History shapes a nation's character.

The rivers, climate, mountains, and historical wars of the Great Qian Dynasty are rapidly shaping collective memory. Coupled with the catalysis of faith, this is already the rudimentary form of early identity, which will develop into a national spirit in the future.

Of course, those are all policy guidelines for the distant future; they're still far from being finalized.

She temporarily deactivated the combat module, and the murderous aura disappeared.

Feng Tianyin needs to find a way to deal with this on her own.

The possessed entity whistled under her control, and the sled dogs came running, panting and wagging their tails. The barbarian then got back into the vehicle and returned to her tribe. Not wanting the possessed entity to be controlled for nothing, she caught a large fish during the journey.

Half a day later.

The man strode quickly to the barbarian camp, and his enormous catch naturally amazed his companions.

A moment of glory for the angler.

"Such a big fish must have been caught near the open ocean. Be careful, it's said to be haunted there, it's safer to stay away."

"They've made such a fortune; they must have taken risks to achieve it. Don't be jealous."

"It's hard to persuade a person who deserves to die, so I'll just mention it briefly."

"That's true, but if we don't hunt and fish, what will we eat?"

"Yes, what do you want to eat?"

The barbarians discussed amongst themselves, clearly also troubled by the current situation. Xia He, having overheard a few words, felt a pang of emotion; in reality, only the Great Qian Dynasty had truly entered a period of peace and prosperity.

In other places, let alone having enough to eat, even survival was a problem. People often didn't know where their next meal would come from and frequently went hungry.

Most people are perpetually hungry and live to be no more than 40 years old.

As further dangers emerge in the Misty Zone, these barbarians will be the first to suffer. Although they sometimes act as troublemakers, they are still human, unlike those other creatures who are not.

"I can feel the subspace aura dissipating. Thank you, Heaven. You can continue hunting now."

"Temporary."

The blind old shaman calculated with her fingers and said...

Everyone nodded without question. This man, who was the undisputed leader in the tribe, was a genius with intuitive qualities, still vigorous despite his age, and a reliable person.

Even the tribal chief thanked them solemnly and then arranged for people to prepare for the hunt.

"Grandma, when do you think those monsters will come back?"

Xia He was curious about the natives' perspective.

"It's hard to say. The subspace is higher than the present world, connecting different timelines and gathering the projections of the souls of many beings in the present world. There is an inherent connection, so it will return sooner or later. As more of us psionicists appear and strengthen our connection, it will only bring more danger."

"Wouldn't that be all trouble?"

"Everything has its advantages, including the ability to control endless energy and instantly travel to other places using the subspace."

"You know so much; you don't even have much information about the Great Qian Dynasty in the south."

Xia He didn't reveal much about the worldview to Feng Tianyin.

Firstly, she wanted to explore rather than be spoiled; secondly, the game world was designed to be as realistic as possible and evolve on its own, and the new closed beta version was different from the previous ones, so even she couldn't make any definitive conclusions.

"It's just passed down by word of mouth."
