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

Lu Yuan felt very pleased and gave out half a pomegranate fruit to soothe the greedy turtle.

"Green Grass Paradise, the engineering work might be huge, so sorry to trouble you."

"Then I'll enter first, and I'll send you a message if there's any news."

The girl entered a small flower bud produced by an opium poppy.

"Green Grass Paradise" is the greatest legacy of the Green Grass Civilization.

This thing is really much more valuable than other material heritages.

One could even say that it is a hundred times more valuable than all the other relics of Sky City combined!

The flower bud is actually a bit like a hibernation tank; it's soft at the bottom, and once you lie down, it induces a drowsy feeling.

This is the Divine Skill from the opium poppy—"Eternal Dream," a "demon" level ability.

[Identity information is being verified.]

[Bloodline identification checked, passed.]

[Soul identification checked, passed.]

[Green Grass Paradise welcomes your arrival!]

A very soft voice rang in her ears; this must be the "artificial intelligence" inherent to Green Grass Paradise.

[I am Green Elf, may I assist you with smart navigation?]

It was her first time hearing the language of the Green Grass Civilization, and at first, she could hardly understand it, but the "Mind Control" ability gave her a natural translation ability.

Soon, she got the hang of the language, which was like the song of an oriole.

As the last of the Green Grass People, Conch had an identity number assigned at birth and was registered in the Green Grass Paradise, saving her a lot of trouble.

Before long, she entered Green Grass Paradise, a virtual world.

Peaks towered over one another, clear waters mirrored the sky, the air carried the scent of grass, and one could faintly hear the music of youth.

In front of her were six gate-like circles of light, representing the six major modules of Green Grass Paradise.

[Carefree Paradise], a virtual world where everything conformed to the heart's desires.

It was equivalent to everyone possessing the "Mind Control" ability; it was also the place that carried the consciousness of hundreds of millions of Green Grass People a long time ago.

Conch felt her heartbeat speeding up, like a wanderer begrudging to push open the old wooden door after years away from home—facing the muddled unknown, who can say what awaited her?

After a long time, she decided to enter [Carefree Paradise] to have a look.

A prompt popped up.

[Unknown error, unable to find Carefree Paradise, please contact the upper council administrators.]

As expected, [Carefree Paradise], the largest feature, had been destroyed by war.

The second module is [Green Heart].

It is the central management system of Green Grass Paradise, similar to the backend of a program.

The essence of Green Grass Paradise is the dream ability of the opium poppy.

But the dreams constructed by the opium poppy are often nightmares and destruction.

Only through the wisdom of the Green Grass People accumulated over thousands of years, turning it little by little into a meaningful virtual world.

As expected, a prompt came up, [You do not have the corresponding authority, please contact an administrator to obtain editing privileges.]

The third module is [Industrial Paradise].

Simply put, it's about controlling the tendrils of the opium poppy to perform some activities in the real world.

For this module, Conch finally had access. As an ordinary citizen, she could operate the small vines and program them.

Every Green Grass Person initially has control authority over five small vines from the opium poppy.

Even newborn children have this kind of cultivation course.

It is because they have indeed cultivated a large number of high-quality, interest-driven scientists and engineers that the Green Grass Civilization has developed technology despite a laid-back cultural atmosphere.

The fourth module is [Education Paradise], a simplified version of [Carefree Paradise] and the place for students to learn.

Inside is a very typical university, with teachers giving scheduled lectures.

Of course, there are no teachers now, but the lecture materials from the past are still stored here, available for reading at any time.

The materials here are very complete!

Except for some confidential information that is inaccessible, whether it is physics, chemistry, math or art, all can be learned for free!

"Found something good!"

"Mr. Lu would be thrilled if he knew," Conch thought excitedly, "but you have to plead with me before I'll help you."

[Detected that you have not logged in for a long time, missed the age bracket for compulsory education.]

[You have not yet completed your compulsory education studies.]

[Your parents and the Education Committee have been notified.]

[If necessary, you may independently study compulsory education courses and complete the relevant exams.]

This warning message was somewhat humorous, yet distressing.

Conch glanced at her age, 3932 years old...

Well, that wasn't her true age, but it signified the period of the Green Grass Civilization's destruction.

The fifth module was [Battle Paradise], where one could engage in simulated combat, including building personal models and simulating battles with Extraordinary Lives.

There were even civilization wars!

It was an application of the virtual world after all.

The last module was [Technology Paradise], which allowed for simulated research activities, such as development of materials and machines.

Although the last two modules were undamaged, they could not be activated now...

Because the Opium poppy tree was barely alive, activities requiring such a high computational load could no longer be completed.

[Opium poppy tree energy insufficient, please contact the upper council administrator.]

She sighed softly and temporarily left Green Grass Paradise.

She took out the coin her mother had given her from her pocket.

[Detection of an identity proof from a high authority.]

[Verifying the high authority's program commands...]

[Red alert!]

[Green Grass Civilization inheritance system has been activated!]

The virtual world turned red, the jarring alarm began to ring, and a number continuously jumped across the sky. Unless the members of the upper council objected within the stipulated time, the highest authority would be inherited by Conch.

Though the Green Grass Civilization was powerful, there was always a risk of extinction on the Pangu Continent.

Therefore, the foresighted administrators established the "Green Grass Civilization inheritance system".

If they all perished, leaving no successors, the Green Grass Paradise could be passed on smoothly—this was akin to a precious key, and they were willing to bestow their legacy to any surviving Green Grass People.

Listening to the enormous alert, she savored the legacy left by her predecessors.

Tears could not help but moisten the young girl's eyes.

Having a body always has its downsides, it's easy to cry and be sentimental.

...

"Wah~ Wah~!"

Lu Yuan was startled by the loud noise coming from the Opium poppy tree, which sounded like the crying of an infant.

The entire city heard the noise!

He thought that this dying creature was about to cause an uproar again.

This time, ten thousand residents were nearby!

If the Opium poppy tree erupted, they might all be wiped out!

"What happened?" Old Cat was completely on edge.

After hearing Conch's transmitted message, Lu Yuan let out a big sigh of relief.

"It's nothing serious... in just about a day, she will inherit the highest authority."

"Mr. Turtle, go back and inform everyone not to panic, sleep if it's time to sleep, and don't let the kids run around."

"Alrighty!" The Undying Giant Turtle scurried off at a run.

It was evident that the old pal was quite happy these days; his enthusiasm for work was high.

Mr. Turtle had been the esteemed guest of many civilizations and even a prisoner of the Great Lai Empire, with varied experiences.

But this was the first time he felt a sense of integration into a civilization.

From this perspective, the 18th human civilization was truly wondrous.

The potential... boundless!

The Undying Giant Turtle, Conch, the Opium poppy tree, 1,500 Insect Eggs—each was a foundation of civilization.

There were 382 Divine Skills, not a small number, and it would even slowly increase with the birth of children!

Yet the 18th human civilization was still fretting over a crisis of survival.

This was indeed a great peculiarity among peculiarities.

Lu Yuan felt conflicted and let out a deep sigh: "Really wish I could travel a thousand years into the future."
