Chapter 721: Chapter 534: A New Era of Developnt (Two in One, 6000 Words!)_2

Caught off guard, the grand journey began in an explosive fashion!

…

…

For Lu Yuan, ever since he heard about the plan initiated by the Strangers and Ancient Insects to establish a developnt foundation, he couldn’t help but envy their natural physical advantages.

The image of Ancient Insects was simply too majestic—a single one could be as long as a kiloter!

Majestic and imposing, yet not overly ferocious—perfect for running elaborate scams.

As for Humans or the Greedy Demon God, they didn’t share the sa benefits—especially since the Greedy Demon God was a wanted figure. Better not to show up too much.

Besides, whether it was the Ancient Insects or the Strangers, both had shown kindness to him. Borrowing the transmission capabilities of the “Immortal Palace” for a bit wasn’t a big deal anyway, especially since the cost of transporting supplies had been covered by them.

Even if Lu Yuan was greedy, he wouldn’t dare to covet the foundation’s funds.

He turned and threw himself back into his busy work.

“Hope everyone grows up quickly.”

…

…

Once everything was in order, all matters began proceeding thodically.

The dayti hiding and nightti prowling of the [Ghosts] remained consistent.

The Little Mirage Dragon entered a rapid growth phase, devouring food furiously every day. Its growth speed was visible to the naked eye—in a few decades, it might truly beco a proper Young Dragon.

Lu Yuan asured its length with a ruler; it had grown 10 centiters longer than last month. He patted its icy scales, saying, “When will you grow as big as a Mirage Dragon?”

“When the day cos, we can dig a hole together, pretend it’s a High-level Relic, and scam lower-level civilizations for points.”

The Little Mirage Dragon was speechless—”I am a dragon, a proud existence!”

“How could you, despicable Greedy Demon God, lower my standards?”

Lu Yuan burst into laughter and didn’t argue with it.

“I want to join too!” The Undying Giant Turtle, which had grown even larger again, stretched its neck high, its eyes gleaming like stars.

After two centuries of growth, Mr. Turtle’s expansion pace was still decent. Its turtle shell was as tall as a two-story building!

Its appearance was exceptional too—just look at the engravings on its shell.

Each turtle shell piece detailed intricate spiraling lines, resembling deep-sea whirlpools. Its entire body was made up of extraordinary engraving materials.

“Great, great, the more we grow, the bigger prey we’ll catch.” Lu Yuan felt a stirring of excitent, driven by his desire to grow even larger. Standing at 300 ters tall, he was still overshadowed by the more massive giant beasts.

“Hey buddy, I just thought of sothing.” Mr. Turtle suddenly had an idea.

“Go ahead.”

“If you give the sa food treatnt as the Little Mirage Dragon, wouldn’t I grow faster?!” The Undying Giant Turtle, now feeling inflated, believed its potential was limitless.

Lu Yuan’s expression changed drastically—handling two high-cost budgets? Could Humans even afford this?

He spoke hesitantly, “You might want to run this by Old Cat and see if they agree.”

“They definitely will!” With a bold and confident stride, the turtle set off.

…

Within Human society, the debugging work for the “True Dreams” system took about a year.

After completing all preliminary preparations, it was ti for the massive population in hibernation to collectively awaken.

According to the plan, over two-thirds of the population would live extended periods within the dreams.

For Human 18th Civilization society, this was a brand-new challenge. People had no idea how prolonged dreaming would influence social structure, nor where the divergent paths of the future would lead.

Yet, moving forward was the only option.

That day, around the Sky Pit near Green Mountain, the crowd surged like a tide.

There were many skeptics, but supporters existed too.

Governnt workers held loudspeakers, explaining the latest policies.

“Ladies and gentlen, living within the dreams has its advantages! First, you’ll have a vastly extended lifespan, since your physical body in the hibernation chamber scarcely ages! You could even live to see the end of the era… This has already been verified by science!”

“Second, the extraordinary expenditure of the entire civilization will decrease. Right now, we’ve shrunk back within our limited territory—we can’t produce much. If you stay awake, there won’t be resources to support you!”

“But keep in mind, this is rely a special asure for peculiar tis. Once we leave this world, everything will return to normal. Understood?”

“Is the disaster over?”

“What about the [Ghosts]?”

“One question at a ti—don’t rush!”

The awakening of the entire population was a massive undertaking.

A million individuals, waking up to find themselves residing in small caves, were about to begin their lives within the dreams. Almost everyone felt bewildered.

Yet… it didn’t seem entirely unacceptable?

With more people, the social environnt suddenly beca lively. Conversations buzzed, als were shared, and couples engaged in affectionate exchanges, even feeding each other.

Perhaps this was how the essence of humanity’s daily life ford. Seeing so many young people, Lu Yuan himself felt quite delighted as he busied himself explaining the circumstances and guiding everyone to fill out their personal preferences.

“The [Ghosts] are still lurking outside—we can’t leave…”

“Well, the extraordinary output must go to the Little Mirage Dragon; it’s protecting us.”

“Wow, it’s grown so big—it’s only fair for it to eat more.” Boys and girls gathered around “Big Golden” the dragon.

The creature squinted, exhaled gently, and its scales expanded and contracted with its breath. Beneath its relaxed exterior lay overwhelming strength. It remained motionless, ensuring it didn’t harm nearby humans. Occasionally, it even showcased its skills, “Frost Control” and “Fla Control,” to entertain the children.

Clearly, its prideful nature from the previous era had completely transford.

It now thoroughly enjoyed the love bestowed upon it by Humans—”I am the protector of civilization!”
