Zongman: All Heavens and Worlds Begin with the Devil's Curse

Is this separated by too many eras?

Zhou Lan also noticed this, but he wasn't in a hurry, not out of a bystander's mentality.

He believed that under the leadership and rule of the Earth Demon, this place would surely become an underground kingdom in the future.

Even without Simon defeating the Spiral King on the surface in the original storyline to develop technology, the underground world would have progressed ahead of time under the control of the Earth King.

As for the technology that the Spiral race is now eagerly anticipating.

Spiral force is omnipotent.

To be honest, this statement is absolutely true; spiral force really is omnipotent.

Once you master the spiral force, you can almost obtain any technology and resources you need.

In just a short time, the Spiral Race's technology and strength can explode.

This is why the final boss's Anti-Spiral Clan suppresses the development of spiral force and the number of spiral clans.

The potential of the spiral force and the spiral race is simply terrifying.

According to the original script, they would be able to transition from the underground primitive era to the modern mecha technology era in at most two years.

Possessing spiral force is roughly equivalent to another level of "the power of my thoughts".

I think if it can be done, then it can be done.

A rumbling tremor came from the ground, and the Earth Demon burst forth from the earth in front of Zhou Lan.

His image has changed a lot since then.

Not only was its body free of dust, but it was also enveloped in a green glow, and its size was several times larger than before.

The brightest light emanated from the Earth Demon's arm, from which a buzzing sound could be heard.

After comprehending the spiral force, Di Kui's strength began to soar. He transformed his hands into drills and explored the underground with abandon.

He, who was already a demon of the earth, took another big step forward.

Standing in front of Zhou Lan, Di Kui's body slowly shrank until it returned to about the same size as before.

With spiral force filling the body, changes in body shape are possible at will.

"That's amazing. Don't you get tired?" Zhou Lan exclaimed with a smile.

“How could we be tired, brother?” Di Kui’s voice was deep, clearly enjoying himself.

"How are these craftsmen?" Zhou Lan asked.

"Not bad, but the speed is still a bit slow. No one can keep up with me." Di Kui glanced around, "except for this little thing."

His arm returned to normal, and he reached into the tunnel he had just crawled out of, lifting up a small figure.

Simon let out a startled cry.

Di Kui grabbed his collar and gently placed him on the ground.

"This little guy is quite good; at least he's very good at digging holes," Di Kui said with satisfaction.

Hearing Di Kui's praise, Simon scratched his head rather embarrassedly.

A strange fellow came to the village, but his temper was surprisingly good, and like them, he liked to dig holes underground.

Not only that, he even became the new "village chief," leading everyone to explore underground, and the village grew bigger.

Simon made perfect use of his digging talent, and it seems that this talent was also noticed by Di Kui.

"It seems you and my brother get along quite well?" Zhou Lan looked at Simon.

"younger brother?"

Simon raised his head and took a deep look at each of the two strange and different beings.

He then nodded silently.

In the past few days, he seemed to have a premonition, as if something deep underground was calling to him.

It drew him to dig where the thing was.

Chapter 244 Demons? An Era That Brings Progress

"How well have you recovered your strength?" Zhou Lan asked Di Kui.

As the demon in charge, he had to consider what to do next.

The ground is not completely empty; it is just undeveloped and rarely visited by people.

Civilization also exists on the ground.

Aside from the scattered rebel forces, there was a powerful force led by Roger the Spiral King, with his four elite generals as its framework, and manipulating orcs and the Face.

This was the enemy Zhou Lan had anticipated.

It is also an unavoidable link.

The ancestral precept of every Spiral race living underground, which they rely on for survival, is the order of the Spiral King Rogeron.

He was the one who suppressed all the Spiral race, forcibly pinning them underground.

Long ago, Spiral King was also an ambitious young man who longed to break through the limitations of the Anti-Spiral race.

He leads his own fleet in battles against the Anti-Spiral race in space.

But the Anti-Spirals showed him the consequences of the spiral force expanding, so he killed his other companions halfway and returned to the planet.

All Spiral Race members were suppressed underground to avoid the one million population limit on the surface.

The moon in the sky is not the real moon.

Rather, it is the eyes used by the Anti-Helix to monitor the population on the ground. Once the population on the ground reaches one million, the Anti-Helix will launch a violent purge.

And Spiral King is the one caught in the middle.

Face, a half-orc, is the hand and foot he uses to control the entire planet.

But whether it's above ground or underground.

How can there be two kings?

It is foreseeable that, with the development of the Earthly Demon, the underground population will inevitably experience a massive explosion.

Without a doubt, Spiral King is the next enemy.

Their goals are inherently opposite.

Zhou Lan would not allow a completely opposite opinion to exist in the gift she left for Di Kui.

Unlike Zhou Lan, Di Kui knew nothing about this world except for digging tunnels.

He simply said honestly, "As long as I live underground, my power will gradually recover, just like when I submerged Basha in water."

"Of course, the spiral force you mentioned, brother, is also an extremely powerful force. Di Kui can feel its power and its strength, but this is happening in parallel with the recovery of my original power."

"That's enough." Zhou Lan nodded slowly.

He didn't want to get involved in the affairs of the underground kingdom, and he would do whatever he pleased with the cultivation of the Earth Demon.

He had something more important to do next.

Zhou Lan tilted her head slightly and looked at Simon: "Do you remember that face when we first met?"

The topic suddenly shifted to himself, and Simon quickly realized what was happening and nodded.

"Very good, you will also have your own identity. I don't know where it is, but you will definitely know."

Upon hearing this, Simon paused for a moment, then instinctively clutched the drill pendant on his chest.

In the dimly lit underground environment, the drill pendant flickered with a greenish light, rhythmically flashing and then fading.

It's like a reminder, a guide.

"Go find it, that is your dignity, Luoyan." Zhou Lan waved her hand and pushed Simon into the underground passage.

Simon was chosen by the Spiral Rock, a powerful force that cannot be ignored and cannot be changed.

Then let this power be used by the devil.

Simon stumbled into the underground tunnel, gripped the drill bit in his hand, gritted his teeth, and began to dig in the direction indicated by the drill pendant.

He will definitely dig out the snail rock, Zhou Lan was certain.

In the timeline unaffected by his interference, within the original story, Simon would pilot the Spiral Rock, continuously growing stronger and defeating the Four Heavenly Kings and the Spiral King himself one by one.

Until they venture deep into space and engage in a final battle with the Anti-Spiral race.

But that's too slow; Zhou Lan can't wait that long here.

Since the Earth Demon intends to build a kingdom and civilization belonging to the Earth Demons underground, let's go with the flow and do it before the Spiral King can react.

Help the Earth Demon create a powerful force, and then defeat the king on the ground in one fell swoop.

In the period that followed, the underground landscape underwent tremendous changes.

Two months later.

First, the villagers' original worry about the useless possession of the wall was resolved by the Spiral Clan underground.

In the process of constantly digging and expanding, many geniuses emerged from those ordinary villagers who originally seemed to live like rats.

With the leadership of the Earth Demon, the Spiral Clan underground began to expand rapidly in a very short period of time.

As the spiral force developed, they began to create civilization.

Another group of people also played a significant role in this.

Yuko, the girl with the gun who was chasing after the first Face Invader, has returned.

The village established contact with the rebel army to which Yuko belonged and began exchanging supplies and technology.

Information and events from the surface flowed underground. Unlike the old village chief who adhered to ancestral teachings and remained stagnant, Di Kui simply preferred to stay underground, but did not reject the surface.

Meanwhile, the situation underground has also changed.

Di Kui opened up many passages, and in his territory, which was the size of an entire continent in his original world, he developed a network of roads that stretched in all directions.

Among them, many villages of other Spiral races that originally lived underground were also discovered.

The Earthly King led them in the same way.

People, mines, all resources flowed continuously into this originally closed and backward underground village.

Two months have flown by, and looking back, it's not just a matter of things changing and people being different.

The underground kingdom of the Earth Demon is expanding rapidly.

He transformed the original village into a true underground city, featuring uniquely styled palaces and buildings, and now has nearly ten thousand inhabitants.

Guided by the spiral force, a power of will that can create everything, they have reached the threshold of modern technological society, and are only one step away from true power.

They are not yet able to manufacture mechs, or rather, they lack the ability to build them.

On the other side, the ground.

Zhou Lan has fulfilled the promises she made to Camina and Simon.

Under the boundless sky, two figures, one tall and one short, stood on the yellow sand.

Camina and Simon felt the completely different air on the ground.

But at this moment, they fell silent.

Kamina had mentioned her father, who had long ago broken free from the village chief's control and gone to the surface...

Camina found the other person's belongings in the yellow sand on the ground.

"What is this?" Kamina looked up at the sky, glanced back at the passage they had come out of, and smiled bitterly and helplessly.

"That old man, he used to brag so much, calling himself a hero who single-handedly ran to the ground..."

"Turns out, I haven't even taken more than a few steps."

“Big brother…” Simon didn’t know how to start. He stared silently at the face that was almost just a big head on the side.

As Zhou Lan said, he found the snail-shaped rock and activated it using the drill pendant on his chest.

"It's alright." Kamina waved her hand. "Well, that's all we can do then."
