Chapter 7: The evolution of civilization leads to disaster, and the time traveler
[Ding! The civilization has entered preliminary development. Within a hundred years of this civilization's time flow, a calamity will descend. Star Lord, please prepare!]
Holy cow!
What's going on!
Jiang Fan was a bit dumbfounded. How could there be calamities? He hadn't heard of this before.
Wait!
Calamity... calamity...
Damn it, I knew there was a reason why I was so careful every time before, considering all sorts of situations, and even personally intervening repeatedly, yet various calamities would still erupt, leading to the civilization's destruction.
So this thing was behind it!
It didn't give any hints before, and he wasn't prepared at all. Watching the civilization be destroyed right before his eyes, time and time again, was truly heartbreaking!
"System, save me!"
Jiang Fan decisively called out to his support.
Ye Yu didn't respond. He only breathed a sigh of relief when this power completely receded.
That's right, this kind of power of rules.
It seems the mutation in this World was caused by the power of rules behind the System.
Tsk tsk, I wonder how many Worlds have been set up as System testing grounds. It's quite a grand scheme.
[Ding! Civilization advancement brings down the Calamity trial. Civilizations that pass the trial will also receive rewards, thus Calamity is a Civilization filter.]
Jiang Fan suddenly understood. First, he stopped investing Genesis Points, letting Earth Star's time flow return to normal.
He still had a hundred years to prepare, instead of being kept in the dark like before.
"System, what should I do now? I've encountered calamities descending before. Every time, I used a huge amount of Genesis Points to weaken the difficulty of the calamity when it arrived. But I can't keep doing this. Resources are tight in the early stages, which will hinder the Civilization development process."
Jiang Fan sighed, saying that although he had just gained a large number of Genesis Points, he didn't want to use Genesis Points to offset the difficulty every time a calamity descended.
It's too expensive!
The Genesis Points spent on the future development of Civilization will be massive. Jiang Fan wished he could split every single Genesis Point in half to use it.
Ye Yu pondered for a moment. First, he tried to issue a System task, and unexpectedly, it actually succeeded.
[Ding! System task issued!]
[Task: Allow the Civilization to survive the Calamity and pass through the Calamity period!]
[Reward: One hundred thousand System Points, one Silver Lottery chance.]
Jiang Fan was startled by the sudden task that popped up. The reward was good, but the problem was that it wasn't easy to get.
[Ding! The Host can use System functions to overcome this crisis.]
Ye Yu reminded him.
"System functions?"
Jiang Fan looked at his System panel. The Plunder System function definitely wouldn't work, but he didn't know what he could Plunder right now anyway.
All Things Amplification was the one triggered the most.
The last one was the 'Alternate World Summoning', whose use he didn't know.
"System, what does this Alternate World Summoning do?"
Jiang Fan couldn't figure it out, so he could only ask Ye Yu.
[Ding! The so-called Alternate World Summoning is spending System Points to summon people from other Worlds to the Host's World.]
[The stronger the summoned person, the more System Points spent. The higher the World level the summoner is in, the more System Points spent.]
Ye Yu explained the general idea. He hadn't used this function since he Plundered it.
It felt like something that wasn't tasty to eat but a shame to discard.
However, Ye Yu felt that this System function could play a big role in this World.
"Transmigrators?"
[The Host can understand it that way.]
Isn't that just transmigration?
Jiang Fan's eyes lit up. He seemed to have figured out what method the System was talking about.
"System, quick, help me get a top student over here! It doesn't have to be a top student; professors, doctors, anything is fine, preferably someone practical!"
Ye Yu smiled slightly. His plan was also like this, but it would be tough for this transmigrator. After all, Jiang Fan's current Civilization level was still primitive, and even the language system hadn't fully incubated yet.
[Ding! This summoning will cost five thousand System Points to open the World passage!]
"No problem, use it!"
It's just five thousand System Points! Passing this crisis rewards one hundred thousand System Points and a Silver Lottery chance!
Ye Yu didn't say anything more. Five thousand System Points were enough to open the door to a low-level World.
Actually, if there were enough System Points, getting some Players would develop things faster.
The Players' abilities depend on the upper limit given by this World.
However, with the amount of System Points Jiang Fan currently has, it's completely insufficient. At most, he can get a few people over.
It's not that Ye Yu doesn't want to help Jiang Fan develop quickly by giving him more System Points; as mentioned before, it's entirely due to rule restrictions.
Ye Yu could only use ten thousand System Points from Jiang Fan's assets to do things.
At this moment, in another World, as a passage opened, Ye Yu secretly slipped in.
"Huh? This World, hehe..."
Ye Yu raised an eyebrow in surprise. He didn't expect such a coincidence. After all, Alternate World Summoning was random, and the World opened this time was actually one he had previously "fleeced".
As Ye Yu entered, he was quickly detected by the Heavenly Dao.
A repulsive force acted upon Ye Yu himself, attempting to expel him, the intruder.
"Cough cough, don't be so agitated. I just came to borrow someone. I'll leave once I'm done."
Glancing at the Heavenly Dao that was staring intently at him, Ye Yu communicated.
At this moment, the Heavenly Dao also recognized this 'bandit' who had desperately fleeced it before.
In an instant, heavenly thunder rolled, and fierce winds rose.
The people within the World didn't know what was happening; the sky had changed in a very unusual way.
"I told you not to be agitated. I'm not here to fleece your World Origin this time. Just lend me a native, and I'll leave after I take him."
Ye Yu smiled slightly. He was no longer the same as he was back then. His System level was now 9, many times stronger than before.
This World was just a Level 1 World. Trying to drive him away? No way!
The Heavenly Dao naturally understood by now. This intruder was too detestable. He was already so strong, yet he still came to bully a Level 1 World like itself.
Knowing that force was useless, the Heavenly Dao had no choice but to agree to Ye Yu's request.
"I said I'm just borrowing someone. I really don't care for the little World Origin you have now."
Ye Yu pouted.
Then he began selecting a suitable person within the World.
The Heavenly Dao didn't leave either and stared intently at Ye Yu, afraid that he would cause damage within its World.
Soon, Ye Yu selected a suitable person.
"It's you! Let's have a spontaneous transmigration trip!"
Ye Yu extended his hand, and a surge of the power of rules immediately appeared, heading towards the chosen person.
The Heavenly Dao watched Ye Yu suddenly make a move and warily moved back a little.
"Alright, I'm leaving. Don't miss me."
Ye Yu took the selected person and left through the World passage.
The Heavenly Dao watched the World passage close and breathed a sigh of relief. It really did just take one native.
It was just one native. If he was gone, he was gone. It wasn't a big deal.
So the Heavenly Dao returned to the World's core. The weather outside also returned to normal, leaving the climatologists baffled.
