As a "Creator God" who has witnessed the history of civilization development several times, Li Qing also clearly knows that this is an inevitability of the times.
The spirit of exploration to expand territories and the pursuit of higher technology are maladies of all civilizations.
Or, more accurately, without this exploratory spirit, unchanging life forms have long been eliminated in the history of biological evolution.
"This mentality is indeed contradictory. I want them to explore, yet I don't want them to explore."
Closing the book in the office, Li Qing took out a new type of Soul Alloy, now called Super-Controlled Gold, Soul Gold.
Ordinary metals isolate soul penetration.
So in the wizard civilization of the past, their souls could emerge but couldn't escape that three-room, one-hall space.
In this civilization, after becoming aware of the existence of souls, they managed to develop this kind of metal that penetrates souls, unimpeded.
This is indeed a huge advancement of an era.
"Are they planning to use this metal for aerospace materials?"
His eyes widened continuously, entering the perspective of a microscope:
"The proportion of gold is quite large...Indeed, I did not make a mistake building the Golden Tree. I previously discovered that gold is very comforting to the soul."
This is similar to the principle of birth for magnets.
Modern magnets are not naturally mined but are made with special alloy materials, using a powerful magnetic field to permanently magnetize the metal.
And the Soul Gold before him is similar.
Using a powerful soul magnetic field, that is, irrigating with a Soul Necropolis, a powerful soul field thoroughly penetrates the special alloy, endowing it with the ability to "store" and "penetrate".
It's just that this material is expensive.
It's not that making the alloy is expensive, as today's industry is developed, and raw materials are sufficient for mass production.
Because it requires a Spiritual Mind Master to carry out Soulification irrigation, completing the thorough refinement of a piece of Soul Gold, unimpeded, generally takes several months.
Soul Gold is priceless and not available in the market; Spiritual Mind Masters are naturally wealthy, making Soul Gold can earn them money.
"This metal might have many uses."
Li Qing observed carefully.
They are trying to build a cosmic spaceship with this metal, so he must learn how to respond.
Besides, this is something that inevitably needs to be learned sooner or later.
Snap!
His immense spiritual power easily irrigated a piece of special alloy, transforming it into a brand new Soul Gold, and he had some wonderful ideas.
Mechanical life, or perhaps Artifact Spirits...
Of course, this is not only Li Qing's idea, but also that of the adjacent Mutant Doctor Lu La.
Counting the current era, there are just three things.
1. Cultivation, nurturing the geniuses of the era to transform into Demigods.
2. Research on Subspace technology.
3. Research on Soul Gold materials, building cosmic spaceships, completing a moon landing mission.
Exhale!
"Could study a bit more to see how to deal with it."
Li Qing murmured, "Bluntly forbidding departure is certainly okay, but if possible, it's better to convince with skill."
Knock, knock, knock!
At this moment, a sound came from outside.
"Come in." Li Qing put the Super-Controlled Gold into the drawer interlayer.
Agent Judith came in with a prisoner, "This is a member of an evil organization recently captured, you can register it."
"No problem."
Li Qing indifferently searched the identity and information on the computer and casually asked, "What did this kid do?"
"Oh, an outrageous emerging underground club." Judith poured a glass of water on the side, not looking back and said, "Called the Godfather Society or something."
The changing times originally had all sorts of gang organizations, trafficking drugs, kidnapping people, and firearms, and now they've also become super-criminals.
Rapid development itself also represents a kind of disruption, instability.
Especially now, many Superpower Users, those with strong qualifications, have started forming alliances; in recent months, there have been over three hundred newly formed organizations, impossible to catch them all.
The chaotic phenomena of the times, it's estimated that a thorough establishment of stability in order will take several more years.
"What is the Godfather Society doing?"
Li Qing searched out an identity record.
Found that this prisoner had no criminal record and even worked over a dozen jobs, seemed to be in a state of desperation, seemingly supporting someone.
"This person has no past record, what did he do?" Li Qing asked.
"Colluding for selfish gains, actually, in nature, it's not too bad; I personally quite agree, I suggest the authorities legalize this organization." Judith said:
"They are basically parents in their forties and fifties, elderly people in their seventies and eighties, who have awakened as Spiritual Mind Masters, gathering online to discuss what to do, and helping their elders, encouraging them to learn, cultivate, make money, and enroll in tutoring classes."
"Their motto is, Merciful Father, illuminate the path of my future...We thank and praise you, Great Father, thank you for granting us life, breath, and all things, giving us the future."
"Father, you are our refuge, our strength, our ever-present help in trouble."
"And various other things, I don't remember, anyway, during every gathering they pray for ten minutes, and then start exchanging experiences, except their leader is very mysterious, they can't catch him."
Li Qing's expression stiffened.
The original world had frantic parents motivating children, forming group chats, researching how to nurture, tutoring classes of various kinds, now the tables have turned?
"This world is truly magical," Li Qing said.
"It's not bad; after being in law enforcement for a long time, I've seen even more magical interest groups."
Judith mocked, "Most of them are a group of people whose faith collapsed after the Apocalypse, believing that the original fathers were false, and now are the real fathers."
"You cannot insult our Father!"
At this moment, the prisoner couldn't help but shout, "As the Apocalypse descends, the world is becoming increasingly unsuitable for us ordinary people to survive. Various super-criminals are emerging, and only our Father will protect us!!"
"Alright, alright, you're right." Judith was uninterested in debating with him, after all, it wasn't a major offense, just register and he would be released in a few days.
"Can't catch their leader, very impressive."
Judith turned and said:
"In fact, this group has been growing rapidly recently, after all, those who awaken powers can be divided into two categories, juniors and elders; you could say there's a 50% chance, many have joined the Godfather group."
"We've already had an internal think tank analyze this, and the result is quite magical, the new era's order is bound to face various ethical and moral impacts, but didn't expect this area to bear the brunt...This might form a new Sect in time, with countless followers."
"Perhaps? Who knows." Li Qing could only sigh at the unpredictability of things.
"Certainly not."
Judith's expression was strange, "Now the average lifespan is over two hundred, parents in their forties and fifties, grandfathers in their seventies and eighties, are just in their prime, being sent to college to study for the family's future. It may be a major trend."
Time blinked by.
In the first year of the Apocalypse, although the whole world was in turmoil, new changes came, completely stabilizing.
Notably, the Godfather Sect and the Child-rearing Sect began to have conflicts, with the two large groups being irreconcilable, making the world magical yet very real.
Debates began over whether respecting the elders or loving the young is the correct viewpoint.
The previous era was a gender confrontation, male power, feminism, now it's the old and young, elderly people and young people in opposition.
This era experienced its first social system impact!
A new president began the election.
For political correctness, mutual wooing began, leading both sects to start becoming legalized.
In the second year of the Apocalypse, new humans began to give birth to the first batch of newborns, and the Child-rearing Sect's influence skyrocketed as the newborns were able to walk and babble within a month.
In the third year of the Apocalypse, the Godfather Society started to decline significantly, seemingly just a reflection of an era, a short transition phenomenon.
In the same year, the Mechanician Sect began to surge, with Spiritual Mind Masters beginning to fully exert their strength.
In the fourth year of the Apocalypse, Angelle Giant Corporation established a Bionic Being company in Detroit, the super AI was thoroughly born, and various bionic being butlers, auxiliary police officers, maids, and companions began entering the public's view.
"We've brought all the futures from the movies to here!"
Someone shouted.
