High-end prehistoric world, suppressing ascendants at the start.

On the high platform stood a young man.

He was dressed in simple animal skin clothing, with an ordinary face, but his eyes were surprisingly bright, as if stars were rising and falling within them.

He didn't have much magical power, but he possessed a strong sense of confidence and charisma.

Every gesture he made captivated the attention of everyone below.

"Since our birth, our people have eaten raw meat and drunk blood, competed with wild beasts for food, suffered from wind and rain, and dreaded diseases!"

"Heaven has shown mercy, bestowing upon me the 'flame of civilization.' Today, I, Shi Hao, will lead everyone to take the first step in changing our destiny!"

The young man's voice was loud and passionate, and it reached the ears of everyone present in a peculiar way.

As soon as he finished speaking, he reached out and picked up a dusty, stubborn rock from the side.

Under the gaze of tens of thousands of eyes, a soft white light suddenly shone from his palm, enveloping the stubborn rock.

"Watch closely! This is the power of Apocalypse! Turning lead into gold!"

Within the light, the stubborn rock was changing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The stone's structure rapidly decomposes and reorganizes, impurities are expelled, and the essence is concentrated.

In just a few breaths, a dazzling golden light burst forth.

When the light faded, a piece of pure gold, shimmering with a metallic luster and entirely crimson, lay quietly in his palm!

"Whoosh—!"

The square erupted in a thunderous roar of exclamations and praises.

For these tribes still in the Stone Age, this method of creating things out of thin air is no different from the legendary creator gods!

"Holy Master! Holy Master, you are mighty!"

"God bless our human race! God bless the Holy Master!"

The fervent shouts rose and fell, converging into even greater streams of willpower that surged toward the young man Shi Hao on the high platform.

Shi Hao basked in the admiration of the crowd, his confidence growing even stronger.

He raised the gold high and proclaimed it again.

"Gold and stone are just the first step!"

"It will bring us sharper weapons and more robust tools!"

"But the blessings of divine revelation go far beyond this!"

He suddenly waved his hand, pointing to a group of wounded people groaning in pain from fighting and disease at the edge of the square.

"Heaven sends down timely rain, relieving illness and pain!"

As he finished speaking, an invisible wave spread out.

Above the tribe, a small patch of clouds suddenly gathered in the originally clear sky.

Gentle drizzle fell, precisely covering the injured area.

Those raindrops were not ordinary water; they contained a rich life force.

All wounds that are exposed to rain, whether they are cuts from knives or claw marks from wild animals, heal at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Those tribesmen who had been sallow-faced from illness quickly regained their color and spirit under the nourishment of the rain.

This scene completely ignited everyone's emotions.

Countless people were so moved that tears welled up in their eyes. They knelt down and bowed to Shi Hao on the high platform, shouting "Holy Master!" Their voices echoed throughout the surrounding area.

Shi Hao stood on the high platform, full of vigor and ambition.

He began to teach people how to identify copper ore, how to build a kiln using the simplest method, and how to control the temperature of the flame to smelt bronze.

This knowledge was so simple to Chen Feng that it was insignificant, but for the human race of this era, it was nothing short of a groundbreaking blessing.

Above the clouds, Chen Feng took in everything, but his expression remained unchanged, and his eyes grew even colder.

He could see clearly that the so-called "turning stone into gold" was not a true magical power, but rather an extreme form of energy transformation and matter recombination.

An external force forcibly analyzed the composition of the stubborn rock and then transformed it into refined copper in an extremely efficient manner.

The "heavenly rain" was not a magical power to summon wind and rain, but rather a spiritual liquid that directly drew upon the essence of plants and water in the surrounding world and catalyzed it to have healing effects.

The methods may seem ingenious, but in essence, they are short-sighted and wasteful.

Chen Feng's divine sense, like an invisible eye of the heavens, instantly swept over the young man Shi Hao's body, inside and out, and even his soul's origin.

"Um?"

He raised an eyebrow slightly, noticing something amiss.

The soul of this young man, Shi Hao, was pure and flawless, bearing the clear aura of the primordial human race. He was neither an extraterrestrial demon nor a reincarnated great being.

He is a native of the prehistoric human race!

The source of that power was not his soul, but a strange point of light hidden deep within his consciousness.

The light spot continuously released information, guiding Shi Hao's every word and action, and providing him with the energy to achieve all these "miracles".

That is the so-called "civilization evolution system"!

"I see..." Chen Feng instantly understood.

Previously, there were stowaways who were bound to the system and their host's soul, and they traveled together.

However, the system has now been "projected" or "activated" directly onto the native creatures of the prehistoric world by some unknown force!

These two methods are completely different in nature!

The former is an individual act of opportunism, with limited impact.

The latter, however, is a premeditated and purposeful invasion of civilization!

It does not target any particular individual, but rather directly interferes with the civilizational progress of a race by supporting native beings as proxies!

This method is more covert and more vicious!

The reason why the human race was able to become the protagonist of the world is not only because of Nuwa's merit in creating humans, but also because the human race is self-reliant and unyielding, exploring and growing step by step in the midst of hardships, and finally forging its own path.

Although the process was slow and arduous, every step was taken with unwavering determination, resulting in an immense accumulation of good fortune and profound foundation.

This "civilization evolution system," which seems to be helping humanity, imparting knowledge, and accelerating development, is actually using a "cramming" method to forcibly catalyze the process of civilization.

It allowed humanity to skip the most crucial processes of exploration, trial and error, understanding, and accumulation, and directly enjoy the results.

In the short term, the tribe's strength will increase rapidly, and it will soon enter the Bronze Age, or even the Iron Age.

But in the long run, this is tantamount to drinking poison to quench thirst!

It severed the foundation for the human race's self-development and overdrawn the future potential and fortune of the human race in this area.

Like a fruit that has been artificially ripened, it looks shiny on the outside but is already rotten inside.

Once this external force disappears, this civilization that has been catalyzed will collapse instantly, and may even be completely cut off from its lineage due to its unstable foundation!

A chilling glint flashed in Chen Feng's eyes.

"Not targeting individuals, but directly intervening in the process of racial civilization... This method doesn't seem like ordinary amusement; it's more like trying to undermine the very foundations of the primordial world!"

He recalled the seemingly casual advice given by Dao Ancestor Hongjun, and his heart instantly tightened.

An anomaly that can even make an old man who is in harmony with the Dao of Heaven feel troubled is indeed extraordinary.

This is no longer a simple issue of smuggling; it involves the very foundations of the primordial world and the struggle between humanity and the will of Heaven!

The mastermind behind this has grand ambitions! They are far beyond what a small, ordinary system at the level of a Grand Luo Golden Immortal can compare to.

Chen Feng took a deep breath, suppressing the murderous intent surging within him.

He knew that directly killing Shi Hao and his system would only be a temporary solution, and might even alert the mastermind, allowing them to hide even deeper.

To solve the problem, we must find the root cause.

He decided to hold back for the time being and observe the situation.

He wanted to see where this so-called "civilization evolution system" was leading this tribe, and even the human race in this region.

He wanted to know more about who was behind this whole thing and what their ultimate goal was.

Chen Feng's figure completely merged into the void, as if he had never existed.

But his will was like an invisible net, enveloping the entire tribe.

Quietly observing this seemingly prosperous but actually perilous leap forward in civilization, led by the "system".

A storm is brewing.
