Actually, this kind of unified work redistribution isn't sothing that started just now.
It had already begun during the three months of rest prior.
The short-term intensive technological upgrades and industrial transformation led to a large number of unemployed people, and social wealth was also being steadily distributed through the contribution point system.
However, before the crisis truly erged, most people were still considering their own interests and desires.
The pressure was not great.
This naturally slowed down the efficiency of societal operation and developnt.
But now, under the threat of the Civilization Trial, most people felt a trendous pressure to survive.
Not to ntion, the contribution points previously were for cultivation, for status, but now, they were a guarantee for survival!
The tragedy that occurred in Japan and the terror of the blizzards had already spread around the world in no ti.
Everyone knew that the shadow of death brought about by the Civilization Trial was constantly looming over everyone's heads.
All sorts of news and voices were constantly calling for unity and effort.
The construction process and current success and safety of An Yuan Underground City are the greatest proofs of this!
In front of the Civilization Trial, only when the entire civilization, the entire society unites, can more people be saved.
Situations like that of Li Tao's family were occurring all over the world.
After a final confirmation, it took only two hours for specially designed transport vehicles to arrive at the designated locations; people hardly had ti to say goodbye to their families, as they hurried off with their limited-weight life necessities to their respective workplaces.
The entire process was monitored by patrol officers responsible for maintaining order.
On one hand, although the Undead were largely suppressed, scattered Undead still posed a constant threat to people, requiring these cultivators of no low level, ard with specialized weapons, to handle them.
On the other hand, such a vast and rapid societal operation, although it generally maintained order, a civilization always had so who would resist order for various reasons or seek personal gain from the opportunity, also requiring the intervention of the patrolling officers.
The laws under the Civilization Trial were just as strict; order was the guarantee of efficiency and must be protected at all costs!
Shen Hao no longer dashed around dealing with the Undead, but returned to his Mage Tower, using the connection of the "Emperor" profession to silently experience the changes that societal transformations brought him.
"The growth rate of the Emperor's power depends on the power of civilization, but civilization is complex and power is variable, yet the judgnt of it follows my will?" Shen Hao murmured quietly.
He now truly had more insight.
For instance, overly stringent order could actually be detrintal, but he believed that for today's civilization, this kind of order was necessary.
Under this will, the order of civilization directly related to the positive feedback he received from civilization.
This ant that the Emperor's influence on the developnt of civilization and whether it was on the right path were actually guided by subjective will.
It would not directly provide Shen Hao with an answer.
Perhaps the entire civilization seed to be evolving according to Shen Hao's will and his strength was increasing, but in reality, it might be on the wrong path, and then abruptly collapse at so point.
This ant that although Shen Hao was the Emperor, he must still prioritize the developnt of civilization to increase his own understanding.
To ensure civilization was on the right path.
However, Shen Hao had always been cautious about this, never arbitrarily interfering with the progression of civilization despite his power, his authority, and his influence; he left most decisions to others, and he only oversaw, controlled, monitored, and guided—which was the true essence of being the Emperor.
Moreover, as his connection with civilization deepened, so seed the potential for his enhancents to civilization.
Shen Hao slightly closed his eyes and began to listen to the "static noise" calling him.
So people ntioned him unintentionally, so in their daily chants, and others prayed and pleaded in the cold wind... Nurous and endless; with his current ability, even if he focused entirely, he could not attend to each person.
However, he could perform a selection, especially according to the Extraordinary Level.
In such cases, if "Divine Descent" was employed together with the capabilities of the "Emperor" profession...
The next mont, so construction workers hurriedly building the Underground City suddenly discovered, after chanting the na of President Shen Hao, that they seed to have mastered so unique power.
They instinctively looked at the soil in front of them, which had been frozen and hardened, and with the support of this newfound power, it beca much softer, allowing them to break through it more easily!
Others responsible for transporting and storing fresh water discovered they had gained the power to purify and cleanse water!
So maintaining heaters found themselves more heat resistant and could even manipulate flas!
What was this?
The news quickly reached the Global United Front, and nearly without need for discussion or analysis, the report quickly made its way to Shen Hao.
"President, it's estimated that around four to five hundred thousand people around the world have acquired new abilities. Are these your powers?" Dong Gong asked, though he was already certain in his heart.
But more than that, he was astonished.
Four to five hundred thousand people!
The previous Divine Descent, although seemingly more powerful, involved at most tens of thousands of people. Compared to the current numbers and influence, there was simply no comparison!
"Consider it an experint with professional abilities," Shen Hao admitted directly, "There's no need for excessive publicity. In fact, those I've chosen are individuals whose cultivation levels were already not low. With the abilities and power I've bestowed upon them, they can play a greater role. And for the entire civilization, this is more effective than running around everywhere..."
Yes, more effective indeed!
This ti, what Shen Hao bestowed was primarily abilities.
And these were semi-permanent abilities!
Unless he actively withdrew them, these individuals would continue to possess these abilities, and Shen Hao did not have to make much of an effort.
Of course, what he had provided now was not just abilities but also power, which could enhance the efficiency of these people in production and construction.
This did involve so sacrifice. If Shen Hao had to confront a large number of enemies now or if he had to combat natural disasters, he would have to take the power back.
But as Shen Hao had said, with the spread of the Undead suppressed, distributing his power was not only supported by the "Emperor" profession, but it was also far more efficient than digging underground cities himself!
"This sounds like the 'Divine Arts' described in Western fantasy fiction!" Dong Gong gave a good analogy.
At this mont, when fantasy had beco reality, these elites also had so understanding of it.
"Indeed similar, but there's no need to advertise it that way," said Shen Hao, "I don't wish to be a god high above. My fate is bound together with that of humanity."
"Yes." Dong Gong now understood Shen Hao's stance.
However, he also knew that even without the formal title, in the hearts of many, there was no difference.
Not only among the general populace, but even many in the Global Unified Association viewed Shen Hao as becoming increasingly godlike.
Yet, under the enormous threat of the Civilization Trial, such a "god" might be sothing countless civilizations could only envy.
Now, having received a response, Dong Gong relayed it to the front lines where people were acquiring power; they all knew the source of this power.
Even without wide-scale publicity, more and more people were beginning to silently utter Shen Hao's na.
Although not everyone could receive these abilities, as Shen Hao's strength continuously increased, there were always outstanding individuals with enough Talent who received powers bestowed by Shen Hao, playing crucial roles on the front lines.
In construction, heating, combating the Undead, and even in production...
This group of Cultivators had surpassed ordinary Cultivators, positioned sowhere between normal Cultivators and the Chosen Ones.
After all, the biggest difference on the Extraordinary Path between Chosen Ones and ordinary Cultivators is their various abilities and Talents.
"The Elental King was indeed the right choice," Shen Hao sensed the feedback from the civilization's growth and was quite satisfied.
The other abilities did not have the wide-ranging utility characteristic of the Elental King.
However, just when the entire civilization was carrying out large-scale production and construction efficiently, bad news also arrived.
"A new Heat Black Hole has appeared?" Shen Hao's heart sank upon hearing this news, "How many?"
"We've discovered ten, four more than the first round," Dong Gong's tone was sowhat gravitas, "This is accelerating the cooling process!"
In fact, if it were just the Sun gradually extinguishing and no longer transmitting light and heat, the surface temperature would not decrease so rapidly within just three months.
The atmosphere and environnt of the planet also have so self-regulating capabilities.
But with the addition of Heat Black Holes and the blizzards they induce, the cooling process was undoubtedly accelerated significantly.
"We need to speed up the process." Shen Hao inquired further, "The project has now officially begun, so isn't there an assessnt of the project progress yet?"
"Only rough estimates," Dong Gong said, his tone deepening, "Based on the current pace, building underground cities that can accommodate seven and a half billion people will take at least a year and a half!"
Yes, a year and a half.
That was the current efficiency, and it was already an incredibly astonishing tiline!
This would have been a miracle unthinkable in the past!
Don't think that the construction of An Yuan City seed to have been completed within just eleven days. First of all, it was only a frawork that could accommodate a million people; secondly, the input costs were also substantial, with a continuous flow of construction equipnt and building materials... The actual participants behind this reached tens of millions of people!
And now, on a global scale, three hundred underground cities were being built simultaneously!
