I became a god by treasure hunting after arriving 500 years early

```

At 6 a.m., most city citizens had already gotten up.

The cultivation of the Extraordinary Spark required capturing a hint of "Purple Energy" from the rising sun, marking the start of a beautiful day.

This was a naturally existing resource, and most people, being quite ambitious, would engage in cultivation early in the day, which took only about half an hour to complete.

"Setting forth," as a milestone in all of Human Civilization, inevitably led everyone to wonder what sort of stories the future would hold.

At 7 a.m.

Children in schools were emitting electromagnetic waves, bidding farewell to the Rize people.

"Friends of the Rize Civilization, we are leaving now, perhaps never to return."

"We hope that in the future, you can open the Safe Zone, build your own great cities, and catch up to us." Even though they were young schoolchildren, writing this farewell letter left them feeling sentimental yet excited.

"Yesterday I learned how to wash dishes. I followed the adults, rolled up my sleeves, added some warm water, put dish soap on a rag, and wiped the dishes. Thanks to you, we produced dish soap, otherwise we'd still be using ash!"

"Alright, enough talk. We've buried some bottles outside that are filled with many letters."

"What wishes might the future us and the future you achieve?"

This was the popular "Friendly Schools Program" over the past twenty years, where kids from different civilizations communicated through electromagnetic waves, which not only nurtured the students' practical skills but also enhanced their interest in scientific knowledge and fostered friendships between the two sides.

There had been quite a few changes on the daily life front.

At 9 a.m., Lu Yuan solemnly announced in front of the television, "Friends, comrades, our 18th branch of Human Civilization now has a total population of 420,000, and it has been exactly 54 years since the last major war, the Painted Skin War."

"There haven't been too many setbacks over 54 years, indeed it has been a peaceful and stable period, and we did not squander these comfortable years. Our population has increased from the original 10,000 to 420,000, we have established a modern system, a complete talent framework, and even become a Second-level Civilization of the Pangu Continent. This is indeed a remarkable accomplishment."

"Following the content of our program, we're marching towards our first small objective... this is the resolve of all of us."

"We also have the confidence to overcome difficulties one after another, to become a more formidable civilization."

"So, Green City, officially sets sail!"

"Green City, the Homecoming Project, officially begins."

Over the years, humanity's technological strength had improved significantly.

This launch had displaced a nearly 100 million-ton mountain, causing less commotion than previous ones.

Aside from stirring some dust, there was hardly any sensation of bumpiness for the citizens.

From time to time, technical personnel's reports appeared on the radio and television.

"The Pandora Crystal Stone power system is providing a power output of 76.5% of the rated capacity."

"The current ascent rate is 1.22 meters per second, which is quite smooth. It is estimated to reach an altitude of 20,000 meters in 5 hours."

Standing on the edge of the city, one could see Sky City ascending at a steady pace.

"Floating Engravings" were effective on the air as well, enabling travel at a certain speed with just a little wind power.

Of course, to increase maneuverability, humans had built some fans and vortex jet devices, which, through strict design, were much quieter than before and provided much more thrust.

After 5 hours of gradual ascent, Sky City had reached an altitude of 20,000 meters. From the ground looking up to the sky, it resembled a giant kite.

"The current flight path is at 43 degrees 33 seconds to the east."

"All systems, functioning normally."

"Our final destination is, the mother civilization of humanity, Yunhai City!"

"Activate the vortex jet devices, accelerate the city's flight."

...

Many Rize people in the Safe Zone also witnessed the entire ascent process.

Some felt a bit melancholic, while others were exhilarated in their hearts.

They too wanted to create a city capable of flying in the sky.

Students of the "Friendly Schools Program" sent an electromagnetic wave signal to humanity.

It was brief, but also firm.

"Parting is not a day of farewell, sea and sky together will convey our longing. When we meet again, there may be ways to laugh about the times over the moon and talk of the old days.

One day, we too will catch up!

...

Sky City.

As the city gradually stabilized, restrictions on civilians were lifted, and more and more people came to the edge of the city, gazing at the barren yellow land and the vast desert in the even more distant direction.

This was no oasis; resources here were scarce, yet it was also the home of the past.

The older generation, in particular, were reminded of the earlier hardships... those times had truly been challenging, with nothing at all, bringing tears to their eyes.

```

Even so, many elderly had died, their ashes buried here.

Who could have imagined that after 27,000 days, Human 18th Civilization would have evolved to its current state?

Their eyes were so profound, carrying a touch of faint sadness when they gazed at the vast desert; turning their heads to look towards the bustling Sky City, their eyes filled with determination—it was indeed, absolutely right to embark on this voyage.

The fledgling bird must eventually soar high, the eagle must ultimately spread its wings, it was time to say goodbye...

To not advance was to die!

Goodbye, Meida Civilization, Rize Civilization, Green Grass Civilization, Mandala Empire, Shu Mi Dam Civilization!

We are going to seek the next...

Blue skies and white clouds!

...

After nine months of smooth flying, the city arrived at the edge of the ocean.

Looking down from high above, the land was a vast expanse of yellow, with mountains and rivers shining in each other's glory; farther away lay the endless ocean, stirring a myriad of heroic feelings.

"Hey! We are here!" Many people shouted from the rooftops towards the distance.

The desert initially seemed so immense, no one knew the true extent of the ocean on the Pangu Continent.

But this was also the inevitable path back to the mother civilization; detouring was even more unrealistic.

"Whoosh!!" Sky City safely landed on the water surface, splashing waves of white foam.

The ocean and the desert, truly two different natural landscapes.

In the desert, life was sparse and human spirits could sink a little, with little interest in sightseeing.

But here, the shimmering ocean attracted the youth to dive into the seaside and celebrate the rare holiday together.

...

While ordinary people could take holidays, the higher government echelons were extremely busy.

Lu Yuan immediately convened a meeting, deploying contingency plans for "tsunami prevention," "typhoons," "stormy weather," and other extreme adverse weather conditions.

Alright, for a super-massive vessel capable of flying and floating, weighing nearly 250 million tons, most natural disasters could be tackled head-on.

Even the fiercest typhoons wouldn't flip the city over, only ordinary plants would suffer.

But Pangu Continent was not a normal world; it was always wise to prepare in advance.

"Currently, the city's draft depth is between 10-11 meters. The power output of the Pandora Crystal Stone anti-gravity system is about one-fourth of the floating state, consuming relatively less electricity which is consistent with predictions."

"The engineering team is currently diving underwater at the base of the city, carving engravings."

"Utilizing the surface currents in the ocean, the city's speed can reach 1 meter/second, which is about 3.6 kilometers per hour."

"We can sail 2592 kilometers in a month, which is actually not less. Of course, this is an ideal speed, as the deep-sea current speed is slower, the city's speed will also slow down." Professor Desert from the Great Engineering Institute reported a series of data."

Lu Yuan was still confident of the engineering team's abilities.

Moreover, there were the patrols responsible for dealing with monster invasions, anomalies, and other potential threats if something climbed up into the city.

The patrol army consisted of three Level 5 experts, two Level 6 Great Grandmasters, one Level 7 Field power, totaling four thousand soldiers, and their combat power was not low.

"Commander Lu, when are you going to help us create a Field? We can't beat Old Jin now."

Speaking was the eldest of the Guo Brothers, Guo Dafeng, a Level 6 expert who had exerted a little effort in the Painted Skin War.

Now that Jin Dongliang had reached Level 7, having a Field which allowed him to outmatch them was truly enviable!

The rule now was such: Legendary-skilled craftsmen upon an outbreak of inspiration, must craft Legendary Equipment.

After all, a Legendary Equipment is worth thousands of Spirit Essence; how much is a Field expert worth?

But for craftsmen below the Legendary rank, it wasn't too big a problem to forge a Field for enhancements during an inspiration burst.

However, the issue was, excluding Rat Artisans, there were actually only 9 human craftsmen, and recently one naturally gifted, making it exactly 10.

Inspiration was elusive, and the craftsman quantity limitation was causing a bottleneck for these experts as well.

Thus, they turned their attention to Lu Yuan, who had the highest skill among craftsmen. Even without inspirations, he could forge Superior Level items...

"Cough cough, everyone, keep calm."

"I was just about to discuss this issue. The inspiration bursts of craftsmen are actually Strategic Level resources; perhaps only one would appear every three to five years."

"Regarding the allocation of Extraordinary Resources, reforms, and future planning—are matters we must consider."

Since they had brought it up, Lu Yuan spoke gravely, "We are no longer an amateur group now. Many things can't be approached as whimsically as before."

"Since we have chosen to execute an elite model rather than a large population model, we must ensure benefits for ordinary citizens to achieve generally Level 3, and even Level 4."

"Strategic resources must also be regulated by rules and regulations, not dispensed arbitrarily or designated."
