Chapter 218: Focus on Development During the Rest Period
It's no wonder they're so excited; the benefits brought about by this change even surpass their expectations.
After all, increasing the desert ninefold versus increasing the richness of the land ninefold are entirely different concepts.
The latter can truly bring about immense benefits! Moreover, these are benefits already secured!
Prior to this, in comparison to worlds like the Sky Spirit Mother Planet and the Great Yan Mother Planet, the Human Mother Planet was like a barren resource desert, especially in the realm of Extraordinary Resources. If it weren't for the Secret Realm rewards from the last Trial that somewhat made up for it, all of Human Civilization's Extraordinary Resources would have had to rely on the marketplace and imports.
This would undoubtedly slow down the pace of development.
Now, with just one SS-grade Trial reward, this shortcoming has been directly rectified!
The high level of Human Civilization is already eager to properly develop the planet!
Shen Hao is also paying attention to the changes in the world.
For him, the feeling is even more pronounced.
After all, as the Emperor, the Human Mother Planet can be considered his territory.
The connection between him and Human Civilization has extended to the entire planet.
After all, this planet is where the majority of humans live.
Thus, at this moment, he can clearly see many things that ordinary people cannot.
For instance, Extraordinary Elements have already formed something akin to "Dragon Veins" in certain places.
Furthermore, some areas are slowly forming "Demon Crystals" and "Spirit Stones."
Even more so, Shen Hao has seen a flower that contains unique Spiritual Power slowly coming into existence in the depths of the desert.
There are also many other indescribable wonders.
The gathering places of "Dragon Veins," natural "Thunder Pools," giant rocks imbued with Yin Yang Power, and ice exuding a chilling aura...
This makes Shen Hao realize that the rewards are not just as simple as the brief text description.
Now, the Human Mother Planet is no longer purely a material world; there is an abundance of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, a multitude of emerging Extraordinary Rules awaiting development and exploration.
"However, these things are primarily concentrated in the directions of Magic and Cultivation," Shen Hao squints slightly, "In addition, there is a certain amount of alchemy, Martial Arts, and plant sacrifice related Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, although few, they are present."
Clearly, the birth of these Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures is closely related to the path of civilization.
After all, the "Extraordinary Elements" obtained from the Trial rewards are actually a kind of "Universal Elements," and nearly all Extraordinary Systems can cultivate and transform under these elements.
Theoretically, the manifestation as rules and Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures should not have a clear focus.
It seems that there are many rules in the Civilization Trial that have not been directly mentioned outright.
However, gathering the strength of an entire civilization is surely something that can be mastered gradually.
"Formulate development plans, then push forward quickly; do not waste valuable rehabilitation time," Shen Hao swiftly orders, "Now is the time for revival from ruins."
Indeed, the end of the Trial does not mean one can completely relax.
The rest period is incredibly precious, especially when no one knows exactly how long it will last.
There are far too many tasks at hand.
Following Shen Hao's orders, everyone springs into action.
Fiora's role becomes evident once again.
Supporting the Global United Front, it quickly passes one policy after another, then promptly disseminates them, precisely dividing the tasks among everyone.
The first task is the reconstruction of ground cities.
The original cities have been almost entirely destroyed and are clearly uninhabitable; even if they were, the old city construction could not meet the current needs of civilization.
Many new technologies and ideas must be integrated into the current cities.
This is particularly true for Cultivation and security.
When Human Civilization first emerged thousands of years ago, cities were built near rivers; now, however, cities need to be built near "Dragon Veins," where Extraordinary Elements are most abundant. Additionally, "Formations" that cover the entire city need to be built, both to further gather Extraordinary Elements and to enhance city defense.
After this Trial, the security of cities has already become a priority.
Even though humans lack some experience in this area, fortunately, both the Sky Spirit Civilization and the Great Yan Civilization have experience in this kind of construction.
Coupled with the capabilities and heavy industries absorbed from the Desert Tower Civilization.
Science, Magic, and Cultivation will be integrated into the new cities.
Even in this process, they will deepen their learning of these three paths, eagerly accumulating experience and fundamentally enhancing the foundation and capabilities of Human Civilization.
Apart from city construction, the restoration and application of nature are also underway simultaneously.
Today's entire Human Civilization, even with the addition of new Species, still has a total population of only nine billion. With their current levels of productivity, building cities that can accommodate nine billion beings won't take much time.
Yet, this vast land must be put to use as quickly as possible.
Although the Life Mother Tree and the World Tree have protected some animals and plants, and a large number of new plants, including Extraordinary Plants, have appeared on the expanded land, leaving nature to restore itself would simply be too slow.
Shen Hao immediately mobilizes all the Senya people, collaborating with the Life Mother Tree and the World Tree, to comprehensively restore and enhance the natural environment of the Human Mother Planet.

Even at the expense of a huge amount of money, he purchased a large batch of seeds for various extraordinary resources, as well as a massive number of Extraordinary Creatures with breeding value, from the mall.
He strived to ensure that within the shortest time, every person within the civilization would have cultivation resources sufficient to match the current Mother Planet. Experience tales at My Virtual Library Empire
It is known that, as of now, Human Civilization had only surpassed the Sky Spirit Civilization and the Great Yan Civilization in terms of high-end combat power.
But at the average level of the lower ranks, it was still somewhat behind.
This was naturally an opportunity to catch up.
The city and nature, these two fields, would become the focal points of Human Civilization's development during this rest period.
Of course, these are not the only areas in need of development.
Such as the advancement of high-tech heavy industry, research in alchemy technology, the integration of various industrial levels, training in cultivation techniques, research on rare equipment...
The myriad tasks await revival; it is not just an empty phrase, but a reality.
Shen Hao also quickly realized that in order to accelerate development in various fields, it was not enough to just shut the doors and develop on their own.
Although the Trial had ended, the mother planets of the other civilizations had not disappeared; clearly, they would all spend the rest period together.
"Send out spaceships to empty out everything of value from both the Desert Tower Mother Planet and Louis's Mother Planet, especially the Ancient Relics within the Louis Civilization," Shen Hao ordered, "Also, draft a more detailed document for the affiliated civilizations; both the Sky Spirit Civilization and the Great Yan Civilization must become our Affiliated Civilizations."
Indeed, this was the decision made as soon as he was aware of the existence of the subordinate civilization system.
One magic, one cultivation, indeed very fitting.
Originally, the Desert Tower Civilization was also very suitable as a supplement for the technological path, but sadly, the current Desert Tower Civilization had already lost its qualification—the Human Civilization had completely swallowed the Desert Tower Civilization.
This was verified by the Civilization Trial.
In the last settlement, there was no ranking calculated for the Desert Tower Civilization, just like the initial situation with the Siti and other civilizations.
This meant that although there were still 15 billion people surviving from the Desert Tower Civilization, in reality, according to the judgment of the Civilization Trial, this civilization had already perished.
The remaining 15 billion people were all under the absolute rule of Human Civilization.
Aside from the larger population, they were no different from the Siti people, the Senya people, and the Mongolians.
The Louis Civilization was the same.
However, the Sky Spirit Civilization and the Great Yan Civilization were completely different.
They were still recognized by the Civilization Trial.
If they are not listed as subordinate civilizations, they would be ushered into the next Trial when it starts.
"President," Gong Dong reported the suggestions of the Analysis Department, "The Analysis Department believes that it's best we host a formal ceremony for the signing of the subordinate civilizations."
"A ceremony?" Shen Hao nodded.
According to the rules of the Civilization Trial, as long as the Human Civilization extended an invitation to affiliate and more than eighty percent of the Chosen Ones within the target civilization agreed, a subordinate relationship that is recognized by the Civilization Trial could be established, and they would jointly accept the trials as a united civilization system.
But that was merely the rule of the Civilization Trial.
In reality, to establish such a relationship, indeed a formal ceremony is needed.
After all, this relationship concerns not just the Chosen Ones but also every person within the civilizations.
Especially since neither the Sky Spirit Civilization nor the Great Yan Civilization had stepped into the information age.
Their ordinary citizens, in fact, do not have sufficient understanding of Human Civilization.
A formal ceremony could also deepen the recognition of common individuals on both sides and clarify the "Sovereign Civilization" status of Human Civilization.
"In that case, I do have a plan," Shen Hao suddenly looked around at this Lingxiao Palace.
Since he had withdrawn from the Mage Tower, he had not lived there but had moved here instead.
After all, this Golden Legendary building imparted no small enhancement to his power.
It even helped his cultivation speed to a certain extent.
So now, he was sitting on the "Emperor's Throne," at the highest point of the Lingxiao Palace, with the "Emperor's Scepter" floating on his left, Fiora's true form floating on his right, he was gently stroking the Sky Splitting Venerable Beast Little Kong in his arms, and behind him, a vast shadow loomed, its starry eyes overseeing the entire world.
If it were not for remote communication and Gong Dong had to report directly in front of him, he might not be able to stand steady.
At this moment, Shen Hao truly possessed a semblance of the "Heavenly Emperor."
Without exaggeration, just this posture alone is the strongest "ceremony"!
"Have them prepare," Shen Hao said after outlining the capabilities of the Lingxiao Palace and his plan, adding, "Also, one of the thirty-six 'Immortal Official' positions is yours."
"Yes!"
Gong Dong instinctively responded, but he remained in somewhat of a daze even after the communication was cut off.
After a while, as if he had finally digested everything, his face revealed surprise and excitement.
He began to look forward to the "ceremony" with immense anticipation, an event that would certainly be remembered by countless people of the three civilizations!
