Chapter 970: Strange Civilizational Order

Caroline was utterly dumbfounded.

These lively, strangely shaped Asura Path warriors, who seemed all fun and games, were actually calculating wildly behind her back? They hadn't even entered the new world yet, but they had already made complete preparations to change the style of the world she was about to create! Just thinking about this type of civilization made it hard to look directly at it.

TV set powerhouses? An era of extraordinary cultivation centered around entertainment? This was truly about staying indoors the entire time and exploring the outside world through a television screen!

"Cough, cough, cough." Caroline took a deep breath, her expression peculiar as she remarked, "Their dreams, the civilization they envision, are truly unique."

Could it be anything but unique? Not to mention Caroline's surprise, even Pan Yuxian was utterly bewildered. She felt that the "cornerstones of civilization" these sandbox players had meticulously built were simply too hardcore punk! She was speechless inwardly. "These scoundrels are too despicable; they plan to all be shut-ins, establish a shut-in civilization, hide in their homes for thousands or tens of thousands of years, and explore the outside world through TV!" But she had to admit, this perfectly matched the style of these sandbox players. If they could lie down, they'd never sit up... hiding and developing in secret, wouldn't that be wonderful?

"What do you think?"

Pan Yuxian, a proper young lady who, despite her unconventional ways, couldn't get along with them precisely because she found their plans too dirty, shameless, and lacking in ambition, which led her to reveal the sandbox players' entire scheme. However, Caroline surprisingly showed a thoughtful expression and said, "Is this also a combination of technology and the extraordinary? It reminds me of the Ishtar civilization back then... In those days, we also used mechanical mechs combined with magic cores from magical beasts to form a hybrid civilization of technology and the extraordinary."

Pan Yuxian: ??? Your evaluation is that it's very similar to you? Inheriting the will of the Ishtar people? Her entire face turned dark.

Indeed. It's true that it's a combination of technology and the extraordinary, similar to yours, but you Ishtar people were completely different. You had magic-powered mechanical war chariots, traveling the world, passionate and romantic. And them? They have magic-powered mechanical TVs, hiding indoors, shut-in and despicable. These are fundamentally two completely different spirits!

Caroline, being pragmatic, said, "I have to admit, this civilization is incredibly powerful, with infinite potential. As long as various plugins can keep up, television channels... they are extremely diverse, theoretically offering endless possibilities."

"Setting aside the control of quantum combat bodies, just consider the 'incense offering' TV programs. If many powerful beings watch TV... their faith and willpower converge, enough to condense powerful Incense Gods. Whether for conquering foreign realms or protecting civilization, they would be very useful..."

After all, it truly was incredibly powerful. Qiu Mingshan Che Su, Alchemist Emperor, and Meng Mei—these three had secretly researched the most suitable 'player civilization' for thousands of years, so its potential was naturally limitless.

"By the way, are there any other channels?" Caroline asked.

"Hmm... for now, there are just these two most practical channels. Of course, there are other channel programs, but they are still in the planning stages." Pan Yuxian thought for a moment, "The third is an educational channel... primarily teaching various cultivation knowledge, with beautiful hosts demonstrating body tempering, fitness, and cultivation methods... They plan to launch a late-night program called 'Cultivation Calisthenics,' where people can sit in their living rooms, watch TV, and follow along: 'one, two, three, four... two, two, three, four... three, two, three, four... once more!'"

"That's roughly it." Pan Yuxian felt a bit ashamed as she said this.

"Then there's the fourth channel, the TV shopping center, called 'World Taobao,' where you can buy all sorts of resources... It features TV commercials with daily promotions, like special offers on divine artifacts: 'Get the Tesla Demon-Slaying Buddhist Staff from the Lava Great Domain for just 188, not 999 or 888!' Of course, there's also a forum for everyone to share their experiences."

"According to them, in the future, people will never leave their homes. Sitting in their living rooms, they might already be traversing the myriad worlds. For example, the being watching a TV in their living room, who enjoys fitness shows with beautiful women or soap operas, might actually be the Chaos God of Light who rules several planes. And the owner of another TV, who frequently indulges in TV shopping in their living room... might actually be the Abyssal Demon Emperor who governs the entire demon realm."

Caroline listened, utterly flabbergasted. Watching TV, ruling the world? And it's so comprehensive? The ultimate goal really was to achieve everything without leaving home. But even she had to admit, this was incredibly powerful. Without leaving home, they would have their own quantum combat bodies and the civilization's shared Incense God, both responsible for venturing out and exploring the world. No one would be able to find their true forms.

"The concept of this civilization is terrifying. It's as if they are high-dimensional beings residing in the cosmos, putting the entire world inside a television, leisurely sipping tea in their living rooms while watching TV and conducting various research." Caroline completely agreed.

"This is a highly civilized system of extraordinary technology. Since they've put so much effort into it, I won't stop them. I'll just see what they develop into."

My goodness! You'll regret it. Pan Yuxian's face turned completely dark.

Caroline, however, paid her no mind, turning her gaze to the Evolution Corridor, which was nearing its end. Over nine hundred of the top 1,000 spots were already filled. Soon, a voice resonated from the sky:

"After more than ten days, you have successfully traversed the Evolution Corridor. The top one thousand will receive ample resources; please check your accounts... However, you should also know that acquiring vast resources means you will be targeted by the natives. We hope that the species you have evolved possess matching abilities!"

"As for those outside the top one thousand, do not fret. You may continue to evolve, proceed to the end of the tunnel, and journey to the new world..."

As Caroline's voice faded, the first-place TV set quickly made a request, "As the first-place participant, may I make one small additional request?"

"What is your request?" Caroline asked.

The TV set replied, "My request is simple: I need a quantum organ plugin... and this plugin should already be located somewhere in the micro-universe." Naturally, this was placed by Qiu Mingshan Che Su and others, as without the quantum gene plugin, she would be useless.

"It has already been placed here." After Caroline placed the item down, her voice completely disappeared.

Outside the Tower of Gods, Caroline reached out and gently grasped a delicate, white porcelain tower in her hand. "A TV set, is it? The true form hides within the world, which means it hides within this tower, using quantum combat bodies and Incense Gods to explore the entire outside world... Indeed, it's a completely carefree existence, and it perfectly suits this Tower of Gods." In her view, this civilization perfectly fit this tower world. And this tower could now be called: the Quantum Television Tower.

Even Emperor Qi's Seven Realms Heavenly Court and the Three Pillar Gods of the Lava Great Domain were far less adaptable than her. Her civilization was the most elusive; no one could invade them.

"Initially, I was the easiest to invade, but now no one can find the location of my civilization," Caroline said with a smile, her eyes looking through a tower window towards the Tower of Gods. "Let's see what this civilization will ultimately become."
