I became a god by treasure hunting after arriving 500 years early

Hope, really is the most precious thing under the apocalyptic state.

During these fifty days, Tokyo City, having lost the Extraordinary Spark, has hardly done anything.

A rumor was wildly spreading through the city: their Extraordinary Spark had died, they had no hope!

Even though the rulers issued orders to try to suppress public opinion, how could they possibly seal the people’s loose talk?

Other cities have mostly stabilized and began to develop industry, research Ideal Technology, and compete for civilizational milestones.

Yet they had almost done nothing, maintaining only the bare minimum needed for survival.

Without the Extraordinary Spark, their lifespans were hundreds or even thousands of years shorter than others — that is a matter of lifespan!

Their strength was also more than a notch weaker than others.

Thus, Tokyo City simply had no motivation to develop; everyone began to abandon effort... Even if they completely understood the rune technology, what use would it be? Without the Extraordinary Spark, everything was in vain.

Most of the higher-ups were thinking about fleeing.

Once other powerful cities revoked their Safe Zones, they would just become refugees! Fleeing back to their homeland.

This... had already become the predominant social trend in Tokyo City, and nobody could reverse it.

Of course, there were also a few professors engrossed in academia, who looked at the screen, then glanced around at everyone in the room.

They internally sighed about the current oppressive political environment.

Flee, everyone just flee.

...

In the Ninth Branch, Lingbo City, Digdit with the ability to "control," looking at the screen that displayed Lu Yuan, spoke softly, "I have always thought that our nation is the best."

"We are not only the best race among humanity but also the best on the entire Pangu Continent!"

"But I must admit, there are indeed very outstanding civilizations on Earth capable of birthing exceptional talents."

His voice gradually became more intense, "We should not think too little of ourselves, nor should we be overly arrogant."

"Learn from their strengths, research rune technology! Then, let us together conquer anomalies, conquer natural disasters!"

"Comrades, let us all make an effort together!"

"Yes, Sir!"

"Snap!"

All the people in the room enthusiastically saluted. Even the scientists paid their respects, deeply admiring this leader who had suddenly emerged.

...

Lu Yuan, of course, was unaware of the conditions of various human branches.

Compared to the Rize Civilization, humanity was simply in chaos.

In just 50 days, the disparity in civilization had already starkly revealed itself.

Of course, even if Lu Yuan became aware of it, it might not matter to him; after all, the distance was too vast, human civilization was just a symbol, merely a conceptual thing.

He cleared his throat, "In conclusion, an individual’s research ability is limited, a city’s pool of talent is also limited."

"Therefore, I am giving this knowledge of runes to everyone."

Sharing knowledge freely is a form of profound benevolence from a compatriot, a hope that our kind might live a better life.

In this era full of malice between people, such benevolence is indeed very precious.

Lu Yuan then said, "I will also give this knowledge to the Rize Civilization."

"I hope everyone can study together, supplementing each other’s strengths, reducing redundant efforts. After all, in this world, we humans are not the only race, and if we engage in internal strife, it would truly be too foolish."

Lu Yuan naturally had his own considerations.

The Rune System was profound and complex, not something he could handle alone.

Especially since the information he had obtained came from a mirror, that cunning demon.

The information was incomplete.

It was like a primitive human having half a primary school textbook and attempting to deduce high school and university knowledge from it, an idea that could only be described as fantastically imaginative.

So, he simply made the knowledge public, letting humanity study it themselves.

By pooling everyone’s wisdom, progress would surely be much faster.

At that time, humans could also share knowledge back with him.

Lu Yuan possessed the "Insightful Rune Talent," which allowed him to learn much knowledge quickly, but creating knowledge still required a vast amount of time.

Of course, his thought was related to his past as a programmer. Open-source projects often develop faster than closed-source projects.

Many hands make light work.

As for his idea of sharing with the Rize people...

On one hand, he traded with the demons, and in truth, it was the Rize Civilization that bore the risk, making it appropriate to offer some compensation.

The Rize Civilization possessed wreckages of ships; to claim they knew nothing about engravings was certainly false.

They simply were not willing to share all their knowledge, and even with Lu Yuan’s large influence, it was impossible.

But if Lu Yuan also put forward related runes as bargaining chips, that would be another matter.

Strengthening cooperation with humans and enhancing competition and interaction seemed to be a good thing from any perspective.

"Mr. Lu, what are the uses of engravings?" asked someone after a discussion.

Lu Yuan smiled, "The Rize Civilization has photos of some ancient civilization’s ships, ask them about it."

"From as small as temperature control, material solidification, to as large as spaceship engines and the sealing of superpowers, all can be achieved through the technology of engravings."

"These are just the functions I know of, there are many more that I don’t know."

"It can be said, this is a whole new technology tree."

The Undying Giant Turtle, upon hearing the word "engravings," directly moved closer to the screen, poking his turtle head curiously and greeting everyone.

"Humans, if you need something, come to Mr. Turtle!"

"I’m Lu Yuan’s good brother!

Lu Yuan was nearly forced by the turtle to start swallowing his own body with a Cannibal Flower; fortunately, he reacted quickly enough to stop this action.

"Make way, make way, we have serious business here."

"Cough cough, if everyone could achieve some results in the next few years against that dark cloud out there, we might have some chance."

Lu Yuan placed the piece of golden foil in front of the screen, transmitting the information via video.

In fact, most complex engravings are "active," flowing continuously like living organisms.

Just like Daedalus’ books and the engravings on the turtle’s body. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Once engravings are transmitted through video calls, they become very rigid things.

Luckily, the golden foil only contained the most basic knowledge, not very active, and so it could be transmitted fairly easily.

After the transmission was complete, Lu Yuan felt he had accomplished a concern of his.

Next, he shared the message of "fusion, evolution, splitting" of superpowers with everyone.

This information, he heard from the demons, was of unknown authenticity, but it nevertheless opened up new pathways of thought.

"The origin of the Extraordinary Spark... is that so?"

Those experts and professors had their eyes wide open.

"Are there other abilities that can be taught to each other?"

"It seems there are."

Of course, it was not as simple as imagined; the "Extraordinary Spark" was not considered a very powerful ability, and compared to Different Space and Spatial Teleportation, it was less functional.

Because it was extremely easy to spread and had a universal appeal, it became an object actively disseminated by "Gods."

As for other abilities, even if they could be spread, they might also require individual aptitudes and a certain consumption of resources.

And most definitely, Shape Skills and Qi Skills would dominate; Divine Skills were very difficult to teach to each other.

But having this new approach of "fusion, evolution, splitting" was like opening up a new pathway of thought.

"My friends, there is a limit to the Innate Abilities one can learn, possibly around 5-9"

"In the future, you may want to consider and plan carefully."

"Hahaha, Mr. Lu, you worry too much. We haven’t even developed a single ability to teach yet!"

"Where do we have the luxury to choose?!"
