I became a god by treasure hunting after arriving 500 years early

Every anomaly has different abilities.

No one dares to guarantee that they can definitely defeat an anomaly.

Especially after hearing that the Mandala Empire, with its population of a million, perished because of this monster, everyone feels uneasy... Who could guarantee they can defend against such a bizarre being?

However, the new Ideal Technology brought by a [Demon] is indeed a significant spoils of war.

Lu Yuan couldn't help but sigh, "These are unique technologies that can't be shared...so everyone can only develop their own."

"To overcome anomalies is to win the future. If we indulge in comfort, we're just slowly dying."

Over in Yunhai City, they indeed need some extraordinary foundation in order to survive into the future until the day when both sides meet victoriously.

Sha Mo and Lu Tiantian even shared some common engravings used in the research on Ideal Technology—well, it was a bit premature, as the war had to be won first, but the people of Yunhai City still listened intently, after all, this was the experience of thirty years.

"The biggest constraint is poverty!" Lu Tiantian exclaimed, "Every time an experiment fails, it's like our hearts are bleeding."

"We're even poorer over here..."

"No, no, no, over here we even have to manually blow glass to make glass test tubes."

The people of Yunhai City were speechless, their poverty seemed to be of a different kind...

While everyone was chatting, Conch whispered a few words into Lu Yuan's ear with a smile.@@novelbin@@

"Mr. Lu, I've done some investigating. That parasol tree has quite a bit of potential. Although it's not at the anomaly level, its Divine Skill is quite high-end, [Twin Dream]..."

"It's only slightly inferior to the [True Dreams] of the opium poppy. Those parasol tree leaves are extraordinarily promising materials; they might be able to carry some [Spirit Word]..."

High-level Extraordinary Creatures rank just below anomalies in terms of rule potential.

It's quite rare; not even the 18 human civilizations possess such a foundation.

It was only Lu Yuan's early slaying of the minor boss "Purgatory Demon Spider" and the "Cannibal Flower" from the Meida Civilization that are high-level extraordinary creatures...

"You mean..." Lu Yuan was somewhat puzzled.

Leaning in close to his ear, Conch said softly, "Physical explosions, high temperatures, radiation, and other conventional weapons are not lacking on the human side."

"What they lack are spiritual attacks, soul attacks."

"Therefore, we can transmit the [Spirit Word] ability to the parasol tree, allowing it to grow corresponding leaves. In doing so, your mother civilization can be more confident in confronting a [Demon]."

Spiritual attacks, including hallucinations, dizziness, dreams, and other such tactics, are actually quite common.

But undoubtedly, there are some monsters tough to the core, immune to physical attacks, only susceptible to these kinds of mental damage.

Soul attacks, on the other hand, are considered more exalted, akin to true damage.

So far, only "Immortal Level" quality clothes can resist soul attacks.

Lu Yuan couldn't help but feel frustrated: "Ma'am, we don't have this kind of Spiritual Talisman Paper over here..."

"If I boast now and can't deliver later, isn't everything doomed?"

Conch grinned, seemingly expecting praise: "I think, I'm about to master these two [Spirit Words], so the research won't be too slow."

"They will still need several years of preparation... While on our side, we have hundreds of years, can't we develop it by then?"

Lu Yuan's eyes widened in surprise and joy: "Really?!"

Immortal Equipment greatly enhances the [Spirit Word] ability.

Since Conch acquired the "Immortal Equipment," her improvement has been considerable.

Even if her [Spirit Rune] is quite inferior to the original, it's still sufficient for research purposes.

Add to that Lu Yuan's own evolution into a learning fiend, his mind filled with "Mythical Masterpieces", and Spirit Rune, as a form of forging study, indeed merits serious investigation.

Having made up his mind, Lu Yuan shared this idea with the friends from his mother civilization.

"My friends, my suggestion is that you allow the parasol tree to absorb about 80%-90% of the dream energy."

"The remaining 10-20% should be distributed among those with 'Engraving ability' and soldiers who need to go to the battlefield, to help them grow faster."

General Li's expression instantly stiffened, as humans only received 10-20%, much less than he had anticipated...

Lu Yuan explained: "10 million people's Dream Energy is not a small number."

"If Conch and the opium poppy help you slightly improve the dream's energy absorption rates, even 20% for humans won't be too little."

"Once the parasol tree grows to a certain extent, it can cultivate higher-grade leaves."

"By then, we can transmit the strongest [Spirit Rune] over there, which is akin to having a rather good trump card at hand..."

"Besides, the parasol tree is also capable of facing formidable enemies, possessing the ability for spiritual attacks. Allowing it to grow to a certain degree will definitely be worthwhile."

The parasol tree rustled, showing loyalty—it didn't understand human language, but it could sense its master's emotions to some extent.

People did understand this speech, however.

It made a lot of sense indeed.

Never expected that coming here as a guest would result in receiving such a wonderful gift.

"Just in terms of destructive power, the Spirit Rune certainly can't compare with a nuclear bomb, but it has the advantage of versatility, being capable of both attack and defense. The cost is rather high, though. Manufacturing a single rune requires material consumption and one occasion of the [Painted skin] speaking, so it cannot be mass-produced."

Within "Meida Paradise," Lu Yuan simulated the most powerful "Spirit Rune Cannon," capable of producing a small mushroom cloud with a single shot.
