The peach tree became known as the immortal peach in Eastern mythology.
The apple tree became the tree of knowledge in the Bible, the tree through which Satan tempted Eve and Adam to eat.
"Unbeknownst to us, these most ordinary fruit trees have all become divine trees. If even one of these divine fruits were to be released, it would cause a sensation." Luo Sheng casually picked a Wisdom Fruit, took a bite, and found that it actually tasted like an apple, but with some god-level effects.
Those who eat the Fruit of Wisdom will obtain fragments of the rules of wisdom, as well as the world knowledge that the eater desires to know. They will also gain superhuman cognitive abilities and finally obtain a wisp of divine power.
"We can proceed step by step here. It's time to get our hands on the Star Cup completely. It's the most crucial thing for me to devour the Type-Moon world." Luo Sheng casually tossed the half-eaten Wisdom Fruit on the ground and walked into the small villa that had been uninhabited for a long time.
It remains exactly the same as it was in the beginning, without even a speck of dust.
Arriving in his room, he casually lay down on the sofa and slowly closed his eyes.
Consciousness descended into the divine body of the 'No Game No Life Universe' through a faint sense.
……
No Game No Life World
The continent of Lucia, a human kingdom.
Since the human god returned to the human town, he has been sitting on the throne in the temple with his eyes closed, resting. Apart from Rick and Chroni, no one dares to enter the temple to pay their respects.
Most of the sacrificial ceremonies were held in the plaza in front of the temple, and a holy blessing was performed for every major harvest, hoping to gain the attention of their great creator in the temple.
However, the great Creator did not bestow blessings upon them. People were not disappointed, after all, they were already living a life they never dared to dream of before. They were already very satisfied and no longer greedily asked the Creator for more.
Time flies, and a month has passed in the blink of an eye.
During this time, all the humans from all continents have gathered in the homeland drawn for them by their creator. After all of humanity has gathered, they will also establish a nation.
At the suggestion of Chloe and Rick, they officially named their rebuilt home the 'Kingdom of Elchia'.
At this moment, in the spacious building below the Temple of the Creator, lies Elchia's administrative hall.
Rick, Chronie, and the leaders from various human settlements are discussing the future development of the Kingdom of Elchia.
They were actively expressing their opinions, Rick was listening attentively, and Hugh was quickly printing their opinions onto paper.
“Leader Rick, I think we should continue to expand our arable land now. Many women are already pregnant, and our population will inevitably explode next.”
"The population explosion is a great thing, but I think we should let the strong men continue to improve their strength. Right now, only our leader Rick has reached the sixth rank, comparable to the Skywing race. Although the great creator is protecting us, we are still far behind other races."
“Leader, you have instructed us to spread the message to other races that our Creator is willing to accept and protect them.”
"Why does our human creator also protect other races..." a fourth-tier transcendent muttered in confusion.
Rick glanced at the muttering superhuman, tapped the table, and stared intently: "Kbra, you've overstepped your bounds. The Creator's actions are naturally correct, and they certainly bring benefits to us humans that we can't even imagine."
"No, no, Leader Rick, I don't mean any dissatisfaction with the Creator, I just have some doubts." Kebra was immediately covered in sweat. How could he possibly question the Creator's decision? But he was very puzzled and couldn't help but voice his doubts.
"Alright, I understand everyone's opinions." Rick raised his hand to signal for silence.
"Everyone's opinions are correct, but our most important task now is to develop the population and education, because the population is the foundation of all plans."
"Therefore, everyone should work hard to have children and then open schools to pass on the extraordinary knowledge we have acquired."
"As long as the population continues to grow, we humans will surely become stronger with each generation."
Just then, a muddy man came running in from outside the administration hall, panting heavily.
"It's terrible! Lord Rick, our patrol team has spotted a Forest Elf 'Skyship' heading straight for our country!"
"What?!" Everyone was shocked.
"What's going on! Our creator just killed the goblin god, how dare the forest elves wage war against us!"
"Have the forest elves gone mad? The Creator is still here protecting us, how dare they!"
Chapter 278: Hua Guanqing surrenders with his loyal followers; the human race is surprisingly powerful!
"Calm down!" Rick said in a deep voice, his eyes shifting from a moment of tension to extreme calm: "We were all leaders of human settlements. Don't let the protection of the Creator make you habitually let your emotions run wild."
There's a hint of helplessness in this statement.
At first, everyone, as the leaders of the human settlement, was very cautious. But as the Creator killed the goblin god, causing the entire race to fall from their lofty heights, everyone's mentality changed instantly.
While it wouldn't be accurate to say they've lost their rationality and vigilance, their level has definitely decreased significantly.
This is normal. After all, the powerful creator protects humanity, making everyone incredibly confident. Even powerful races other than gods are now treated as equals, and some even feel a touch of pride.
After all, the abilities bestowed upon them by the Creator allow them to reach a level comparable to that of gods.
The sixth rank is comparable to the Skywing species, the seventh rank is comparable to the Giant species and the Dragon Spirit species, the eighth rank is comparable to the Fantasy species, and the ninth rank is comparable to the God species.
But this is only human potential; if that potential cannot be realized, it's all just empty talk.
He is currently at the peak of the sixth rank and will likely advance to the seventh rank in about a month. As the leader of humanity, he should be able to reach the eighth or ninth rank.
"Um... sorry, Rick."
"We are so excited."
The expressions of the superhumans froze for a moment, then they calmed down. They had indeed changed a lot recently compared to before, because the powerful energy in their bodies had made them a little complacent.
This cannot be blamed on them. They have not yet fought against other races. Without fighting, they cannot accurately know the gap between them, and not knowing the gap will affect their judgment.
"How many ships of the Forest Elf fleet have arrived?" Rick asked the patrolman who was panting and drinking water to regain his strength.
“One, one ship…” the inspector said hurriedly.
Two-thirds of the continent of Lucia is the homeland left to humanity by the Creator. Therefore, there are now teams of more than a thousand third-tier transcendent beings patrolling and mapping this vast area, and compiling statistics on the distribution of resources.
“One ship.” Rick laughed. “If it’s just one ship, then it’s definitely not here for war.”
“Our creator has just established his authority over all races. If this is truly a war, then it must be the divine race of the forest elves who are coming with all their fleets.”
"If only one ship comes, it's either to establish a relationship or to probe for intelligence."
“We can allow the forest elves to come to our kingdom, but their airships must land a hundred kilometers away from Elchia and can only enter our city on foot.” Rick’s expression turned extremely serious as he said this.
"To allow them to fly over us would be blasphemy against our Creator!"
The Creator is still resting peacefully in the temple. Flying over Elchia would be blaspheming their human gods. Not to mention Rick, any human would be enraged, and it might even start a war.
They are no longer people fleeing for their lives; now they want to live with dignity and faith. Building civilization also requires rules, and the first rule for mankind is to revere the glory bestowed by the Creator.
“Richard is right. We must never allow any race to desecrate our creator,” Kloni said sternly, her eyes filled with fierce determination. In the past month, she had also reached the sixth rank.
The current total human population is 270,000. She and Rick are both at the sixth rank. Apart from them, most of the leaders of human settlements have reached the fifth rank. There are 31 people at the fifth rank, more than 8,000 people at the fourth rank, and the remaining 90% are at the second and third ranks. Only less than 10% of the people are awakened, but they have all awakened superpowers.
In other words, even the weakest human is currently much stronger than an average beastman.
“Kloni, you stay in Elchia. I’ll take a few of my fellow Tier 5 brethren to meet with the Forest Elf fleet and see what they’re really thinking. If there are any problems, I’ll intercept them.” Rick said, standing up and looking at the Tier 5 superhumans who had instantly straightened their backs and raised their heads.
The Kingdom of Elchia has just been established and its system has not yet been set up. However, given the current situation, since everyone is a leader of a different settlement, it would be best to directly form a 'parliament' where each settlement leader is a 'member of parliament'.
Besides, the weakest among everyone here is at the peak of the fourth tier.
Once Elchia stabilizes, only those at the fifth rank or higher will be qualified to serve as councilors.
The fifth-tier transcendent was already able to fight on par with Shubi in her normal state, but according to Shubi's analysis, the early fifth-tier transcendent only allowed her to use 23% of her output. It would probably take until the late fifth-tier or peak stage for her to truly be comparable to an ordinary machine-type individual.
"Rula, Anker, Kanturu, Swell... come with me. Those whose names I haven't called, please assist Chronie in protecting Elchia."
The fifth-tier transcendent being who wasn't called was a little disappointed, but only for a moment.
"Don't worry, Rick. Even if I die, I will never allow any race to offend the home we have worked so hard to build, not even the Skywing race."
"Don't worry, although we can't compare to you, we're still incredibly strong, hahaha."
"That's right, even our human leaders can't underestimate us."
The fifth-tier transcendents shoved each other on the shoulder and laughed like brothers.
“Then I’ll get started.” Rick nodded with a smile, took a deep breath, and his face was full of a happy smile.
He didn't get a break twice during this period, working around the clock until he was exhausted and almost collapsed, but he was happier than ever before. Even if he was exhausted to death, he would still be happy.
Humanity has only just begun to establish city-states, and it is imperative to quickly establish civilized systems and lay a solid foundation for the next generation. The knowledge transmission of this generation must not be neglected.
“Rick, I want to go too.” At this moment, Shubi tugged at Rick’s sleeve and whispered.
“Shubi, I’m no weaker than you now. Unless a Skywing or a Dragon Spirit attacks, I won’t get hurt at all,” Rick said.
Shubi is a machine race, so it's impossible for him to have offspring with her. Besides, he has already decided never to get married in this life. His heart is small and can only hold one person, even though Shubi is not human.
Besides, he's already at the sixth level, so he can live for a very, very long time.
“Rick…I want to go…” Hughie said pitifully.
“Alright, but you have to follow my instructions,” Rick said helplessly.
"Mmm-hmm." Hugh nodded like a chick pecking at rice.
"Let's go!" Rick grinned, brimming with confidence. He had said goodbye to his weak self, but his mind remained calm, even sharper than before.
Humanity holds both the wisdom of the weak and the strength of the strong.
As Rick spoke, he leaped into the air, transforming into a shooting star and soaring into the sky at a speed that instantly surpassed the speed of sound, even Shubi couldn't keep up immediately.
Fifteen meteors of various colors followed closely behind, all exceeding the speed of sound, though none were as fast as Rick.
After flying high into the sky, Rick stopped and looked down at the ground. The city buildings, which spread out evenly in all directions from the temple, came into view.
There is a pointed tower in each of the six directions of the city, forming a hemispherical barrier that protects the entire city.
This is a magical barrier set up by him and Kronie, leading all the fifth-tier transcendents. Even the Dragon Roar of the Dragon Spirit Clan and the Sky Strike of the Skywing Clan cannot break it directly. At least, it would take a series of attacks of that level to reach the limit and shatter it.
To the east and north of the city are golden wheat fields and orchards, to the south is a huge freshwater lake, and to the west is a lush green forest.
This is the human city-state of Elchia.
Rick felt a burning pride in his heart. He turned his gaze to the continent of Balar, which was closest to southern Lucia. It was the closest point between the Forest Elves' territory and the Lucia continent, and the Forest Elves could only reach the Lucia continent through that place.
Rick and Shubi transformed into shooting stars and flew towards supersonic speed, with fifteen shooting stars following closely behind them.
At this time, in the southern part of the continent of Lucia.
A pale green 'skyship' was flying steadily, at a speed far slower than usual. At this moment, the eyes of the forest elves on the ship reflected the gold of the blue sky and white clouds, their expressions uneasy, their former arrogant demeanor gone.
"Hua, Hua Guanqing, I, are we really sure it's okay if we just fly into the human race's territory like this? No, won't we be attacked by the gods?" A male forest elf asked in a trembling voice, cold sweat pouring from his forehead, his words slurred with worry.
“What are you afraid of? Even I’m not afraid. We didn’t come here with any hostility.” Xinke Nielba said calmly, biting her thumb, though she was actually more nervous than her fellow forest elves on the ship who were filled with fear.
She knew she couldn't possibly defeat those old fogies who unconditionally worshipped the air god.
