Chapter 235: Greatest Harvest, the Book of Civilization

[“Because your settlement successfully killed the Yuan emperor in the Battlefield of Providence, your settlement has received a mid-size ‘Book of Civilization’!”]

“Book of Civilization?”

The new term that sounded like “Stone of Civilization” and “Soul of Civilization” piqued Ji Ye’s curiosity.

It must be noted that the Souls of Civilization represented “heroes”.

They appeared as burning candles in the darkness, which implied that the heroes were the “souls” of a civilization that burned themselves to give off light and heat and illuminate the unknown darkness around a civilization!

The Stones of Civilization that the players dropped after they died appeared as white stones that could be transformed into any objects that belonged to a civilization.

It meant that the “Chosen Ones” were the “cornerstones” of a civilization.

It also meant that the advanced items in the civilization were all created on the basis of the most fundamental stones.

Then, what did the Book of Civilization represent?

What appeared in Ji Ye’s eyes was a bright yellow item that was similar to the color of the power of providence. It was changing nonstop.

The animal bones that had been cut out, the bamboo books connected by robes, the paper books that emitted the fragrance of ink, the radiant plates that released colorful light…

[Book of Civilization (mid-size)]

[Level: Special]

[Rarity: Perfect]

[Description: Most species have recorded their histories and cultures in books and paintings. The genre of this Book of Civilization is “History/Dynasty”. It can be activated by the power of providence and melted into the settlement core, thereby modestly expanding the range of summoning during the ritual!]

“I see.”

Ji Ye understood.

The Book of Civilization represented the historical events and the fictions that the heroes on the Land of Inheritance were from…

This mid-sized Book of Civilization, after melting into the Twin Dragon Mount fort, could give the Twin Dragon Mount fort another “dynasty” setting so that it could summon the historical heroes from that dynasty!

As to what dynasty it was exactly, Ji Ye had to wait and find out after he returned to the Twin Dragon Mount fort and activated the item with the power of providence.

“I hope it’s an ancient dynasty, or the contemporary era. I hope that it’s not the modern age…”

Ji Ye was certainly eager to find out what dynasty this Book of Civilization could bring to the Twin Dragon Mount fort.

The Twin Dragon Mount fort was one of the settlements from Water Margin, which had a lot of top Extraordinary heroes but not many Transcendent and Legendary heroes who were of a higher level.

Considering the current situation, the historical heroes were actually no weaker than the fictional heroes, as could be seen from the Book of Wumu and the Eye Painting Brush that he had just acquired!

Of course, even without this Book of Civilization, the Twin Dragon Mount fort would still be able to summon more heroes.

According to Lu Zhishen and other heroes from the fort, the channel created by the power of providence after the Twin Dragon Mount fort started the ritual would be linked to him, Wu Song, Yang Zhi, and other natives of the Twin Dragon Mount fort in priority.

If they all felt that they couldn’t pass the test and chose to refuse the invitation, the channel would be turned to the Liangshan heroes who had similar settings to the Twin Dragon Mount fort.

It then could be extrapolated that if none of the Liangshan heroes responded, or if nobody could satisfy the requirements of “Perfect” and “Superior”, the channel could be linked to the characters of the Song Dynasty that appeared in Water Margin or the excellent heroes under the command of Fang La, Wang Hu, and Tian Qing.

Furthermore, since Water Margin was labeled as a “historical”, “supernatural”, “ancient classic”, and “fictional” book, this channel would then be turned to the heroes from other classical novels, such as Romance of the Three Kingdoms, A Dream in Red Mansions, A Journey to the West, and Investiture of the Gods…

From that point of view, if a settlement didn’t have any background at all, it would be able to welcome the heroes of the entire humankind.

Of course, such settlements couldn’t have existed.

Even if they did, the heroes and natives that those settlements welcomed would be too mixed up to coordinate well!

It was probably also why the reward of the Book of Civilization didn’t expand the Twin Dragon Mount fort’s settings directly but appeared as a “Book of Civilization”, which could optionally be melted into the settlement core.

Not just the Yuan emperor, the deaths of the four kings of Yuan had also rewarded them with Books of Civilization too.

[“Because your settlement killed the West King and the North King and contributed to the killing of the North King and the South King, your settlement has received mid-sized ‘Books of Civilization’!”]

[Small Book of Civilization]

[Level: Special]

[Rarity: Perfect]

[Description: Most species have recorded their histories and cultures in books and paintings. The genre of this Book of Civilization is “Game/Wuxia”. It can be activated by the power of providence and melted into the settlement core, thereby slightly expanding the range of summoning during the ritual!]

However, the West King’s book was the only one that was rated as “Perfect”.

The Books of Civilization from the South King and the North King were “Superior”, and the South King’s was only “Excellent”!

The result was probably decided by how they were killed. As for the qualities of the books, Ji Ye believed that it would probably influence the popularity of the settings that the books added to the settlement.

[“You have returned to the City of Humans!”]

While considering, the yellow glow before Ji Ye’s eyes dispersed, and he saw the jade floor of the Three Thousand Restaurant as well as the green pillars that rose straight to the sky!

Around the stone pillars, many people were waiting with complicated expressions.

“They are the people from the Twin Dragon Mount fort.”

“They’re finally back?”

Naturally, those people were from the settlements of the southwestern province that had won the Ten-Species Competition.

One would be free to leave the Battlefield of Providence the moment its result was out. Therefore, not everybody had waited until they got the keepsakes of the hero projections like the Twin Dragon Mount fort did.

However, none of those settlements left the City of Humans but sent someone to wait at the entrance to the City of Humans.

Naturally, their purpose was to make deals with the Twin Dragon Mount fort!

The Twin Dragon Mount fort’s harvest on the Battlefield of Providence was almost unbelievable.

Not considering the Yuan emperor, the Four Kings, and the special units of Yuan, more than fifty battle participants on Yuan’s side had been killed by the Twin Dragon Mount fort.

The items that those battle participants dropped didn’t really match the background of the Twin Dragon Mount fort, and it would require a lot of power of providence to teleport them back.

Therefore, other settlements were all waiting for them regretfully and helplessly.

They had even prepared “goods” that they found suitable for the Twin Dragon Mount fort!

“Master, you’re back?”

“Everybody, after we sort and count the spoils, we’ll sell them at the business area in agreed-upon ways. Please wait patiently!”

Elder Jiao and the other people who stayed in the City of Humans all evinced pride on their faces as they spoke to the players of other settlements around them.

Although they didn’t enter the Battlefield of Providence, they had done a lot of things in the City of Humans, and it would soon be their showtime in the upcoming barter of resources!
