Six months passed in the blink of an eye, and under Gu Shanhai's compulsion, the ghost civilization developed frantically, changing daily.
Especially with Gu Shanhai's intervention, after the ghost completion plan took effect in the Ghost World, all the ghosts either united to grow stronger or were crushed by the overwhelming force.
Fortunately, there was no need to worry about the number of ghosts. After Gu Shanhai mastered the technology of ghost birth and modified the underlying logic of the Ghost World, the originally declining number of ghosts began to explode, surpassing even the peak period of the All Ghosts Survival Platform by more than a hundred tis.
The massive labor force greatly boosted productivity, so a few deaths were no longer a concern.
The original city-state system beca a national system, forming a precise machine.
The ghosts had no foundation, but they had watched the structure of human society through live broadcasts. Even if they couldn't create their own social structure in a short ti, couldn't they just copy one?
Under survival pressure, they found their own path through various ans.
Of course, this couldn't have happened without Gu Shanhai's help, such as spreading plans and decrees that suited the developnt of the Ghost Kingdom to accelerate the growth of the ghost civilization.
During this ti, Gu Shanhai also noticed that his protagonist aura seed to be getting brighter, a situation that signaled the Ghost World's favor towards him.
Honestly, he couldn't quite figure it out. His actions seed more like overdrawing potential, so why did the Ghost World treat him like its favored son?
Clearly, the favored son of the Ghost World was the All Ghosts Survival Platform.
Okay, maybe it still is, since Gu Shanhai only perceives it but it's not real.
If he were truly considered the favored son, they wouldn't rely favor him.
In the workplace, this is like drawing cakes. They keep praising you and tell you to keep working hard, saying you'll inherit the company in the future.
But in reality, they won't even give you a one hundred yuan salary raise and instead promote their own son.
So, Gu Shanhai just watched and never took it seriously.
Until now, no matter how much favor the world shows, it can't match the status of the All Ghosts Survival Platform. Otherwise, why wouldn't they give him any authority? Do they really think he's stupid? Talking about inheriting the company without even giving shares.
"Finally, there's so progress." Gu Shanhai licked his lips, showing a hint of appetite as he looked at the ghost civilization.
After nurturing it for so long, it's about ti to harvest.
Gu Shanhai didn't help them for nothing; it was all for reaping the rewards.
"I wonder if I can fatten them up a bit more."
He was hesitating now about whether to consu them now, as it would be a bit premature for him.
Further nurturing would be better.
However, if he waited longer, he worried there wouldn't be enough ti.
The All Ghosts Survival Platform had just set off to negotiate with human civilization in the human world, and by calculating the ti, they should be back in a day or two.
If he waited longer, there wouldn't be enough ti.
If it ca to a fight, the whole situation might get damaged.
"Forget it, I'll just harvest now."
In the end, Gu Shanhai decided not to delay further, to avoid endlessly prolonging the process.
"The timing has to be right; otherwise, being caught between two enemies is not a good situation." Gu Shanhai wasn't stupid. He knew if he acted against the ghost civilization now, the Ghost World would definitely retaliate against him imdiately.
This action was like spoiling a major company project on the eve of its completion; there's no way he'd have it easy.
Then, if the All Ghosts Survival Platform brought in human civilization at this critical juncture, Gu Shanhai would certainly suffer betrayal when he had plans to ambush. Naturally, he couldn't be so easily tricked.
"I need to prepare so asures and act around the ti when the All Ghosts Survival Platform leads the wolf into the house. This way, it will be the Ghost World that faces enemies on two fronts."
Gu Shanhai considered using the Ghost World as a shield, which would be a double win for him.
"With this adjustnt, my Civilization Seed will imdiately enter the next stage."
The entire ghost civilization was directed by Gu Shanhai, shaped in his image. Otherwise, did the Ghost World really think it could just sit back and enjoy the harvest, doing nothing?
If they just sat back, that would be fine. But if they didn't understand anything, weren't they taking him for a fool? If Gu Shanhai didn't exploit them, who would?
"I wonder how much the All Ghosts Survival Platform gave up to get human civilization to help them."
Gu Shanhai knew that in terms of interests, the All Ghosts Survival Platform was quite naive, always thinking about getting sothing for nothing, like getting White Wolf for free and other such tricks, relying entirely on deception.
When there's no communication, it's whatever, but seeking help is another story. There's no way human civilization would believe whatever the All Ghosts Survival Platform says without so cost.
From the start, the relationship between the two was not an alliance but a confrontation. If you're asking for help from an enemy, you'd have to pay a price to get help.
As for paying later? Did the All Ghosts Survival Platform really think human civilization was so gullible? If they didn't bleed a lot beforehand, would they really wait for paynt afterwards?
Gu Shanhai could also guess the All Ghosts Survival Platform's idea, which was nothing but reneging on the deal afterwards. After all, they're enemies, so why should they pay up? They might even think about launching a sneak attack after things succeed.
This kind of thing could definitely happen; if the All Ghosts Survival Platform were really trustworthy, they wouldn't engage in sucking outsiders dry and profiting internally while oppressing others.
At this point, human civilization will definitely be on guard.
Another thing is that with the All Ghosts Survival Platform's smooth talk, it's unlikely they could easily freeload like that.
The other party belongs to the action-oriented type, but is definitely lacking in persuasive skills.
Otherwise, the previous avatar wouldn't have been so blunt, using bribes and threats without any technique at all.
"This is also a lesson. Otherwise, if everything had gone smoothly until now, without experiencing any setbacks, wouldn't it be lacking in completeness?"
Gu Shanhai was utterly schadenfreude about this.
Pity? Compassion?
Why would he indulge in such sentints for his enemies? Naturally, he wished for them to be as miserable as possible.
What kind of hero of the other is an enemy in his eyes; respecting the enemy's actions as heroic would never cross his mind.
A dead enemy is a good enemy, no matter how they die.
Respecting an enemy is a mindset only protagonists can afford, after all, they don't die, Gu Shanhai thought if he showed so respect, he might not survive.
...
"Despicable, vile, damned!!!"
The All Ghosts Survival Platform returned to the Ghost World, its originally radiant body looking sowhat dim.
According to his plan, he could easily fool human civilization into the fray and provoke battle.
Not to ntion the conditions he offered were quite generous, yet, in the end, the other party agreed but wanted more.
Of course, to this, he rely sneered internally with disdain, wanting more was fine, he didn't necessarily have to give, and after a three-way battle when he seizes it all, it won't matter.
He agreed without hesitation.
But the other party actually asked him for a deposit, which left him dumbfounded.
He knew what a deposit was, but it simply wasn't part of his plan. In his plan, after the talks, he could just bring people over.
So he had no intention of providing a deposit.
Claiming he provided the human world a chance to defeat the Ghost World, and still, they asked him for a deposit, it was indeed too shaless.
In his anger, trembling in cold, the other party was even more assertive, essentially saying to buzz off if no deal.
Ultimately, the All Ghosts Survival Platform had no choice but to unwillingly give a deposit.
A deposit, according to him, giving a pittance would suffice, after all, it was just a scam, giving too much would an he loses badly.
He hadn't anticipated, human civilization's side directly asking for the core secrets of his platform, which of course, he couldn't give them.
And then... they resorted to force.
And even placed a restriction on him, miserably controlling him.
Even if he hid it at that ti and also prepared protection, the problem was the human world far surpassed the Ghost World; human civilization was far more powerful, countless tis more than the All Ghosts Survival Platform.
During the negotiations, the other party kept searching for him, and then... he was found.
That was the most tragic part.
"No, I must find a way to detach, otherwise I'm dood, damn it." The All Ghosts Survival Platform's tone was filled with malice.
His thoughts were good, but in practice, there was nothing to show for it.
Suddenly, an agonizing power surged within him.
"Wait, I won't dare anymore, I'll open the passage right away, I'll open it imdiately!!!" The All Ghosts Survival Platform couldn't help but howl.
Human civilization, of course, would not let him off so easily, sending him back to act as an internal agent to open the passage between the two worlds.
The All Ghosts Survival Platform thought of taking all, taking a small risk for a big gain, but how many actually succeed, most end up failing.
Thinking he could escape, did he really think it would be that easy?
Human civilization simply didn't give him ti. Once he returned to the Ghost World, they demanded he opens the passage, otherwise, the power within him would claim his life over ti, instead of rely causing him pain.
Under the threat, for his own life, the All Ghosts Survival Platform naturally chose without hesitation to betray the Ghost World.
All this developnt was beyond Gu Shanhai's expectations, after all, he didn't expect the All Ghosts Survival Platform to ss up this badly, even getting himself involved, he thought at most a significant loss.
You could say he overestimated the capability of the All Ghosts Survival Platform.
With the actions of the All Ghosts Survival Platform, the two worlds were forcibly linked, forming a giant void in the sky over the Ghost World.
