Chapter 166 Different Civilizations

Inside the blue sky is a human city.

At the dawn of the mechanical industrial revolution, the planet's air began to gradually deteriorate.

The animals and plants that originally lived in the wild were unable to adapt to the new environment and could only die little by little due to the increasingly serious pollution.

At that time, as the ecology gradually collapsed, human life became increasingly difficult.

According to the records in history books, this was a period when people had not yet discovered their own potential and had not yet created the "Wall of Purification" on a large scale.

As plants that absorb carbon dioxide and produce oxygen gradually become extinct, the yields of various food crops have dropped significantly.

The human population also declined sharply.

At this critical moment of life and death, scientists who were trying every possible way to slow down the arrival of the disaster suddenly discovered a strange phenomenon among the crowd.

That is, in severely polluted areas, various environmental indicators where people gather will be significantly improved.

This degree of improvement can be felt with the body alone, even without any instruments.

Even the air, which had become increasingly turbid and smelly day by day, became much fresher in those areas, and the oxygen concentration in the air gradually returned to the level before the disaster.

The discovery simply stunned the scientists.

Although the development of science has just started, since this world is not interfered by idealistic institutions such as the church, the ideas of mechanical materialism have long been deeply rooted in people's hearts with the popularization of technological achievements.

When scientists discovered that these strange phenomena could not be explained by existing science, or even by speculative science, they truly realized the extraordinary nature of this power.

And discover the intrinsic connection between this spiritual power and the pollution that cannot be eradicated no matter what.

Yes, whether it is science, spiritual power, or pollution, they are all part of the world's rules.

If we want to solve all this, we also have to start from the level of world rules.

This is the theory of a great scientist and philosopher from the Plane of Steam.

Although the indigenous people here are not very developed, their understanding of the world is undoubtedly at the top among indigenous civilizations.

Unfortunately, although they understood how the rules of the world existed, they did not have enough technology and power to support them in exploring their own conjectures.

For a long time, the steam plane was in a state of semi-awake and semi-ignorant.

The clear thing is that they already have a relatively mature theory of rules.

The ignorance lies in the fact that they do not have the technology to explore the power of these rules.

……

According to the wizards' division of the world with intelligent life, there are actually only two types of openness of all worlds in terms of the power of rules.

One is a world where the power of rules is open source.

Life forms living in this kind of world can come into direct contact with the power of rules, or come into contact with it after meeting certain conditions, thereby gradually exploring more knowledge about the power of rules and gradually entering the multiverse.

The second is a world where the power of rules is not open source.

All the rules in this kind of world are closed.

If a life is born in such a world, then without interference from the outside world and without any accidents, he will never be exposed to any rule-level power in his lifetime.

If the civilization in this world wants to get out of this world and get rid of its indigenous identity, it must make an effort that is a hundred times greater than that of the civilization in the first world.

They must first try their best to analyze the various rules of the entire world, and then conduct long-term, large-scale, and universal observations based on the understanding of these rules.

Thereby discovering the volatility of the rules of the entire world.

And in these fluctuations, the existence of the multiverse and the force of rules is revealed.

Of course, if they are lucky, the rules of the world they live in will fluctuate greatly, or they will be exposed to matter or information from other worlds. Then these civilizations can take this opportunity to ascend to the sky in one step and directly move towards the multiverse.

……

Unfortunately, the natives of the Steam Plane have no such luck.

Although they have understood the rules of the world and even the existence of the multiverse to a certain extent, they lack the methodology to control the power of the rules.

They can only continue to explore within the limits of the rules of this world, climb the technology tree of steam and machinery bit by bit, and try their best to create a grand civilization.

Finally, one day in the future, when civilization reaches its peak.

Only by taking advantage of occasional regular fluctuations can we get a glimpse of a higher level.

However, even this process was interrupted by invaders from another world.

……

The civilization that invaded the steam plane called itself the Carver civilization.

Unlike steam civilization, the development history of Carver civilization is actually quite short.

If the main timeline of the multiverse is used as a measurement standard, the time when the Carver civilization evolved intelligence was even after the steam civilization.

However, the differences in the rules of the two civilizations' mother worlds have led to different development processes between the two civilizations.

The mother world of Carver civilization is a world where the power of rules is open source.

Their power system is a professional system, that is, the system of knights, warriors, and mages.

It is a relatively common type in human civilization.

The difference from the steam civilization is that the strong of the Carver civilization can easily access the power of rules.

They call it "domain level".

A domain-level strongman can manipulate the changes in the rules of the world within the scope of his will and release powerful forces with every move.

Although in the eyes of a multiverse-level civilization, this level of rule power can only be regarded as an infant among rule life, and it does not even reach the standard of level one.

But relying on a certain degree of control over the power of rules, the Carver civilization quickly broke out of the mother world and transformed into a multiverse-level civilization.

They prospered in a very short time and began to invade the surrounding world on a large scale.

This includes the steam plane where the steam civilization is located.

……

……

In the 98731st year of the Steam Civilization Calendar, the five major states and countless small countries in the Steam Civilization Federation simultaneously ushered in the most brutal war since the end of the last World War.

The prosperity of steam civilization for many years was reduced to ashes.

Faced with the enemy's terrifying attack called "forbidden spell", even a giant chariot made of steam and machinery could not resist it.

The extremely strong individual combat power was like a devastating force, penetrating the battle formation constructed by the steam civilization on the battlefield.

In less than a year, the Carver civilization gained actual control over the capitals of the five major states of the Steam Civilization Federation.

Although everyone looks similar in appearance and are nominally all human.

But the Carver civilization is not merciful at all.
