My construction materials are weird

Here, we need to talk about the levels of cultivation methods. Heaven-bestowed cultivation methods can be considered invincible.

However, there is a difference between heaven-bestowed invincible methods and self-created invincible methods, and the difference is significant. Heaven-bestowed methods are like sudden enlightenment, incomplete and without a system.

You can't modify them unless you can completely comprehend them and trace them back to the origin.

This kind of invincible method is similar to what happened after Xuan Huang created his invincible method. His disciples couldn't achieve the same level, so they reduced and modified the method according to their own characteristics.

The First Saint King is in this situation.

However, even with these modifications, it is still stronger than the low-level and mid-low-level cultivation methods of their own clansmen.

Here, one can't help but marvel at the thick blood of the Flint People; they haven't messed things up yet.

Even the lowest of the low-level cultivation methods have reached the third order.

Over the years, the First Saint King has been thinking about how to improve the level of his clansmen. At the very least, upgrading from the lowest of the low-level to a low-level cultivation method should be possible, right?

He is very confident.

"Great, great!" The remaining eight people were very happy.

The Fifth Saint King smiled with even more joy, his goal finally achieved.

It's a very strange phenomenon that the strongest is the First Saint King, while the second strongest among the nine is the Fifth Father God, and the third strongest is the Ninth Father God.

It's not that the First Saint King is the strongest, and the Second Father God is next.

They don't understand it either. Maybe it's luck. The numbers nine, five, and one are very special.

Seeing everyone so excited, the First Saint King said, "So, everyone agrees?"

"Yes, we agree."

"Agreed."

"It should have been done long ago," the Ninth Saint King said quietly.

"Good," the First Saint King and the Fifth Father God exchanged glances and said.

Change begins here, and their changes will alter their current situation.

As one of the five holy lands, a race that can support a holy land with just one clan, the changes in the Flint People will have a huge impact.

The first step is to accept the guidance of Heaven and believe in the truth of Heaven's bestowal.

It took them a long time to sort out this line of thinking, thankfully they are a long-lived race, and their extraordinary cultivation doesn't make them care about time.

"Alright, everyone, after such a long time of sorting things out, we have first determined that among the five holy lands, we are one of the five great holy lands of the universe: the Mechanical Civilization."

The Saint King said first.

The reason for clarifying this as the first recognition is to emphasize its importance.

Even though their clan is very special, there are four other civilizations like them, so don't be arrogant or complacent.

This is also very important. Only in this way can they step out of the constraints of caution.

It is conducive to initiating change, which is also a psychological release.

"This? Is that so!" The Eight Father Gods were hesitant to confirm this point.

It's not arrogance, but a historical reason. Currently, 80% of the situation is related to this point. If this point is wrong, then wouldn't so many years have been wasted?

Not only would they have been wasted, but it wouldn't sound good to say it out loud. Living like a rat because of unfounded speculation, how could the proud Flint People accept that?

The First Saint King didn't force them. Acknowledging this hesitantly is already a great improvement.

They wouldn't deny the past in one fell swoop. Even if the past was confusing, it wasn't all bad.

For example, because of this tight string, they have become stronger at any cost. The current level of the mid-stage of the third order is caused by this tension.

And the defensive means are stacked to the limit of what they can do, which is also the gain from the tension.

"Third, could the so-called twenty-four crisis points be the special places sensed in the seven days, caused by changes in the world?" The First Saint King continued.

This point first requires acknowledging the second point.

If the second point is not acknowledged, the third point cannot be established. If you don't believe in the changes in the world, how can you accept the changes caused by the changes in the world?

"Yes!"

At this point, the eight people were much more straightforward. They also understood that if they had reluctantly acknowledged the second point, wouldn't it be in vain if they didn't acknowledge the third point?

"Good, fourth, we must change, we must go out, we must solve the current predicament, we must change the direction of the clan."

The fourth point is based on the first three points.

Only when the first three points are acknowledged can the fourth point be implemented.

This includes a lot, such as reducing the computing power for deducing cultivation methods, and using it to calculate energy conversion, improve cultivation methods, and everything else.

"That's right," the Eight Father Gods said straightforwardly.

This concerns their own strength, and the new direction of the clan must be straightforward.

After these four points came out, the entire plan began.

The computing power of the entire clan only leaves 30% to deduce subsequent cultivation methods, and the remaining 70% of energy conversion deduction and cultivation method improvement deduction are continuing simultaneously.

This is still a change in computing power, and there are more obvious changes.

For example, starting to contact and break through the nine layers of curses, and starting to study offensive means, not just powerful defense.

The entire Mechanical Civilization has one idea, from top to bottom. What they nine have decided will inevitably be implemented without compromise.

This is also one of their advantages.

Humans can't compare. Even if Xuan Huang personally issues instructions, they can't execute them as uncompromisingly as they do.

For the research on energy conversion, they first targeted the Anomalies.

Anomalies may be the greatest resource and crisis for all holy land creatures. They are a crisis, and they are also a resource.

Misfortune and fortune depend on each other.

Just like the Blue Star Holy Land, what have the Anomalies become? They are clearly used by cultivators, squeezed clearly.

The rise of mankind is inseparable from Anomalies.

Similarly, the rise of the Mechanical Civilization is also inseparable from Anomalies.

Anyone who, like humans and the Mechanical Civilization, has gotten rid of the crisis of destruction brought about by Anomalies, will immediately turn around to study and utilize Anomalies.

Anomalies seem to be a calamity test for these holy land civilizations.

If they can get through it, they will get a great return. If they can't get through it, they will be destroyed by Anomalies.

Anomalies are a quantal calamity in this universe.

In this great universe.

Perhaps in countless places, Anomalies are still playing a terrifying role, where they are ravaged like hell, and creatures are in constant danger of extinction.

But there are also some places, very few, where the disaster of Anomalies has been suppressed by creatures. They dare not say they can counterattack, but at least they can ensure that their race will not be destroyed and have room for recovery.

And only in very, very few places have Anomalies ceased to be a crisis. They have begun to turn around to study and utilize Anomalies, turning them into the greatest driving force for the progress of the entire race and the entire civilization.

From the degree of facing Anomalies, one can easily distinguish what level a civilization is at.

Low-level civilization race, mid-level civilization race, high-level civilization race, peak civilization race, and holy land civilization race.

In fact, the peak civilization race is the very top.

It's not much different from a Holy Land Civilization; the difference lies in the environment.

The reason Holy Land Civilizations are listed separately is because of their strength, and their strength isn't because the race has surpassed its peak, but because there are likely many peak races within this Holy Land Civilization.

These many peak races together form the Holy Land Civilization.

Moreover, due to the added advantage of the environment, the peak races of Holy Land Civilizations surpass those of non-Holy Land Civilizations; resources and environment determine this outcome.

Sacrifice Civilization.

Absolutely no mistakes, read it all at once!

Or rather, Sacrifice Continent, Sacrifice Holy Land.

In the highest Sacrifice Temple, starlight shines brightly, and sacred light illuminates the vast expanse.

At the center is a massive altar that is impossible to look at directly and difficult to describe, shimmering with iridescent light, rising with purple mist, covered in auspicious clouds; even the flowing wind seems like a change in space-time.

The massive altar is like the entire universe, yet also like a bottomless black hole abyss.

In short, it is difficult to describe its magic and vastness with known vocabulary.

Below the massive altar are seven enormous thrones resembling the Five Elements and Yin-Yang.

The only complaint is that there seems to be a difficulty in naming things in this universe; these seven thrones are occupied by the seven great priests of the Sacrifice Civilization.

First Priest, Second Priest… and so on. Although they have their own names, they are not important; what's important is that they are the seven great priests of the Sacrifice Civilization.

It can be said that these seven priests are not from the same race at all; their appearances are bizarre and varied. Some are individuals composed of countless eyeballs, while others are individuals with twisted, indescribable appearances.

One worth mentioning is a priest who somewhat resembles a human.

However, from a human aesthetic perspective, it is even more unsightly than a long-decayed corpse, a truly miserable sight.

It exudes an indescribable aura of decay and withering, as if even a slight touch would bring endless misfortune and disaster.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call it an envoy of misfortune walking in the universe.

The seven priests emanate seven types of aura that would infect and corrupt anyone who glanced at them; to call them undead or necromancers would be a compliment.

Each one is like a black hole, greedily devouring all vitality, as if vitality is completely severed from them.

"The great progenitor says that another enemy has broken free from their restraints."

Suddenly, the seven diverse priests awoke.

Their form of dialogue is also difficult to describe, more like a transmission of spirit and mind.

If there is any common characteristic among them, why they became a civilization, even a race,

it would be the aura they emanate; all are the kind of aura that makes people disgusted and uncomfortable, although it's different kinds of disgust and discomfort, but ultimately it makes people feel nauseous, disgusted, uncomfortable, and even fearful.

"That's right, we have failed the progenitor's expectations. So far, we haven't found the location of the other four Holy Lands. The progenitor said that the sooner we find them, the more advantageous it will be for us; the later we find them, the more difficult our enemies will be. Alas!"

Said the priest ranked third.

"But the myriad realms are reviving, and the universe is infinitely vast. How should we search? The only platform we can use has also had its space-time reversed due to the Great Universe's rules. There was a slight movement a dozen years ago, but it seemed to be shut down by heretics not long after," said the First Priest.

"The Blood Calamity seed that was initially cast should have been discovered by heretics, and a powerful heretic at that, possibly an enemy from the Five Great Holy Lands, so they had the ability to close the passage; otherwise, ordinary ant-like beings simply couldn't do it," said the Second Priest.

"That's right, we used the progenitor's ability to rewind time to cast it, which is equivalent to rebirth in a different place across a long period of time. Even this was suppressed and shut down; this heretic must be extraordinary," said the Fourth Priest.

"Great Priest of Calamitous Blood, can't you sense it anymore?" asked the Third Priest.

The Calamitous Blood Priest is the Fourth Priest; he was the one who cast the Blood Calamity seed.

The reason was that the progenitor said that there are infinite beings in the Great Universe, but flesh and blood beings account for more than half.

The safest Calamitous Disaster seed is of the flesh and blood type.

With their progenitor reversing time to cast it, even the teleportation platform was thrown in, all to set up a layout to discover other Holy Lands and then counterattack.

Unfortunately, their progenitor is indeed strong and can reverse time to cast it, but the rules of the Great Universe are not to be trifled with; you can reverse it, and so can I. You reverse it, and I reverse it.

After reversing it to the point where they didn't even know to what extent it had been reversed.

A dozen years ago, the Great Priest of Calamitous Blood had a subtle connection to the Blood Calamity seed, but it would take time to establish a connection and regain control of this seed.

Unfortunately, before he could regain control, this Blood Calamity seed disappeared. Because of this, the platform for teleporting the Blood Calamity was also suppressed, refined, and then shut down.

It can be said that they lost both the lady and the army.

"I can't sense it anymore," said the Fourth Priest, the Great Priest of Calamitous Blood, shaking his head. "I could only vaguely sense in the final stage that after this seed was reborn in another world, its form resembled that of the First Great Priest, which is to say, the human form the progenitor mentioned."

"What? Human form?" Upon hearing this, the six priests were a little shaken.

Their specific forms were also taught by the progenitor, said to be the strongest forms in the myriad realms of the Great Universe.

If the Great Priest can take human form, it means that in the progenitor's eyes, this form, called human, is the strongest.

"No wonder," the six accepted it with peace of mind.

The progenitor couldn't be wrong; since the First Great Priest's human form is the strongest, then it is the strongest.

And the seed they cast must have been cast into the most powerful civilization, the main camp of the most powerful beings in the entire Great Universe.

Therefore, it makes sense that it was suppressed, killed, the platform was refined, and shut down.

"Alas, our luck is good, but it's also bad," said the First Great Priest.

He was very satisfied with everyone's praise for his strength; the progenitor was not wrong.

"Yes!" said the six great priests.

"Good luck is that we found the strongest enemy, bad luck is that we found the strongest enemy," the Great Priest said in a roundabout way.

But everyone understood the meaning.

It was nothing more than saying that it was lucky to find the strongest enemy, but unlucky because they found the strongest one, who directly killed and suppressed them.

If the place where they cast it wasn't the main camp of the strongest enemy, perhaps they would have already begun to connect and invade.

"The price to regain the teleportation token is too high," said the Second Priest.

It's not uncommon to have teleportation tokens in the universe; the Empress's battle with the Soul Clan was about this.

But to obtain one requires great luck.

The Sacrifice Civilization obtained the teleportation token through sacrifice.

They didn't expect to lose it; it would be difficult to obtain another one.
