Global Dungeon: I Can See the Status Bar - Chapter 67: Good, You Are Now a Qualified Wastelander
Chapter 67: Chapter 67: Good, You Are Now a Qualified Wastelander
The priests were almost numb.
What on earth is that egg-filled pancake?
In the end, after another round of cordial exchanges, Lu Wenwu extorted… oh no, is about to receive a generous compensation from the Mechanical Dragon Gathering Place.
Twelve Tier Five Muscle Transformation Meats, one hundred Tier Four Muscle Transformation Meats.
Nothing more left.
Lu Wenwu was noncommittal and planned to see for himself when he arrived at the Mechanical Dragon Gathering Place.
The two sides agreed to head to the Mechanical Dragon Gathering Place together the next day.
The Mechanical Dragon Faithful needed to clean the battlefield and check for any omissions.
Su Qinghong and his group needed time to recover their Bodies and regain their fighting power.
While waiting, Lu Wenwu didn’t return to his companions but instead struck up a conversation with the Priest Leader.
He once again brought out the rhetoric of the God of Natural Redemption.
Unexpectedly, the Priest Leader was extremely excited upon hearing this.
Compared to those at the Giant Bone Gathering Place who have only heard legends, this person in the core of a major power knows more, has seen more, and knows more.
In his perception, the God of Natural Redemption is the most mysterious, with few followers, who are also most hidden.
Unless they come out themselves, no one can find the entrance to their Divine Country.
This information piqued Lu Wenwu’s interest.
Thus, he began to subtly extract more information.
Upon further in-depth understanding, Lu Wenwu was shocked to discover that besides the Great Evolution God, the God of Eternal Glory, and the God of Natural Redemption that he already knew, there are three other so-called Divine Spirits in this Dungeon World.
For example, the God of Infinite Mechanical Dragons worshiped by these people.
The followers of the Mechanical Dragon God believe that all of the world’s technological creations originate from the grace of the Mechanical Dragon God, who bestowed the power of technology upon people.
Furthermore, the Priest Leader claims that the Mechanical Dragon Gathering Place is the strongest technological entity in all the wastelands, the source of countless technological artifacts.
Besides, the Immortal Sun God, immensely generous and often bestowing Divine Powers as grace, is said to be on good terms with the God of Infinite Mechanical Dragons.
The faith followers of the Mechanical Dragon often exchange food and technological artifacts with the followers of the Sun God for the Sun God’s endless powerful Divine Power.
The last one is the existence that the Priest Leader just leveraged, the God of Celestial Punishment and World Destruction, whom everyone speaks of with fear.
The reason why the Ghost Shadow Gathering Place split into seventeen scattered pieces lies here.
If the gathering place is too large, once it exceeds a certain range, after some time, it will face destruction from the God of Celestial Punishment and World Destruction.
That kind of powerful power cleanses all sins, just like when He launched the Great Cleanse nearly two hundred years ago.
Indeed, the Wastelanders, at least the followers of the God of Infinite Mechanical Dragons, believe all this is caused by the wrath of the God of Celestial Punishment and World Destruction.
And the most benevolent Great Evolution God couldn’t bear it, so He granted all humans and mutants the ability to continue surviving and reproducing in the wasteland.
The God of Eternal Glory brought new abilities after the outbreak of nuclear war, giving people the power to control Spirit Bodies, leading to the birth of Ghost Masters.
The Immortal Sun God hangs high in the sky, generously bestowing His Divine Power upon all humanity, allowing them to continue using the grace of the God of Endless Mechanized Dragons.
The most mysterious God of Natural Redemption forcibly cut off a piece of pure land with His Divine Country, preserving the pre-nuclear war state.
After listening to the Wastelanders’ worldview, Lu Wenwu was somewhat puzzled, so he inquired, “Do you understand what nuclear war, nuclear weapons, nuclear radiation, and nuclear energy, electrical energy are?”
The Priest Leader replied as a matter of course, “Nuclear energy is the power of the Gods, the Divine Power of the Divine Spirits, and nuclear radiation is the grace of the Gods. Those who cannot withstand the grace of Divine Power will die or transform into mutants.”
“Electrical energy is the power exclusive to Our God, and Our God has also taught us how to convert the Divine Power extracted from the Eternal Sun Well of the Immortal Sun God into electrical energy we can use. Praise be to Our Lord.”
“As for nuclear war and nuclear weapons, that is the Divine Artifact molded by the God of Celestial Punishment and World Destruction using His own Divine Power to end the world! Sir, didn’t we just borrow His great power?”
Lu Wenwu had no words.
These Wastelanders seem to have formed some strange, unique worldview due to a cultural and technological gap.
However, the good news is, after listening to the Priest Leader’s narrative, Lu Wenwu could already grasp some hints regarding the ultimate secret,
The Immortal Sun God might be related to nuclear power plants or similar institutions.
That so-called Eternal Sun Well might be a controlled nuclear fusion reactor, as a nuclear power plant using nuclear fission couldn’t last so many years.
The God of Celestial Punishment and World Destruction is most likely the “Dead Hand” system or a similar creation of this civilization before the war.
The Dead Hand system was not destroyed during the war; rather, a portion of its intelligent modules still exists today, faithfully executing its final command — to eliminate all building groups above a certain threshold, periodically conducting nuclear strikes on designated locations.
This also explains why the radiation cloud hasn’t dissipated after so many years since the nuclear war.
As for the God of Natural Redemption…
Possibly some highly enclosed, permanent underground base with a complete ecological circulation system?
Of course, this is just a vague speculation.
Without concrete evidence, Lu Wenwu would not easily waste precious verification attempts.
At present, only the first known Great Evolution God, plus the newly known God of Infinite Mechanical Dragons, remain without any clues.
The former has followers who are too scattered and numerous, with not even a clear headquarters.
Any mutation is automatically assumed to be an Evolver.
Any Superpower is automatically assumed to be His priest.
Even if you worship other gods at the same time, the Great Evolution God won’t be angry.
This greatly increases the difficulty of exploring.
Like finding a needle in a haystack.
As for the latter, Lu Wenwu pondered over it, but none of the numerous scenarios in his mind matched what the Priest Leader described.
From the limited information, it seems the Mechanical Dragon God, like the Great Evolution God, had a real Divine Descent, covered with silver scales countless times harder than steel.
Being long and without a visible beginning or end, shaped like a meandering True Dragon, it was named the God of Infinite Mechanical Dragons.
This ethereal description is too vague to speculate on its essence.
Lu Wenwu even doubts whether it is a spiritual totem like the God of Eternal Glory.
After all, the description is just too fantastical!
After ending the discussion on the Divine Spirits, Lu Wenwu returned to the place where his teammates were recuperating, discussed with them, and returned the Hand Grenade Buddhist Bead to its rightful owner.
The other four all agreed with Lu Wenwu’s opinion.
At present, heading to the Mechanical Dragon Gathering Place is the best choice.
Not only can they explore the secrets of the God of Infinite Mechanical Dragons, but they can also follow the clues to investigate the situation regarding the Immortal Sun God!
