    “That’s not right, the timeline doesn’t match. If Hell existed back when humans were still primitive, how did humans survive?”


    “We can ignore the Insect Race for now, their development is quite tricky. But it would be worth visiting both the Engineer and Pioneer Empires, hoping they’re alright.”


    “Wait, let me catch my breath. This seems to have turned into an origin of everything.” Qin Muye was quite shaken.


    “Furthermore, according to the records of the Iron Blood Civilization, there seem to have been other civilizations before human civilization.”


    “As expected, the core of the Horror Universe is Earth Planet, not outer space, with a focus more on monsters than on civilizations.”


    ...


    “Okay, the search must go on.” Qin Muye said.


    “Then that’s even more wrong, you’ve got cause and effect reversed.”


    “Are you messing with me?”


    “God?”


    “Yes, Master!”


    “Never mind, I’m here for technology, not to search for the origins of life.”


    “Although I don’t know what God looks like, I feel He definitely wouldn’t look like an alien...”


    “Eh~ The origin of life? The Iron Blood Civilization studied that stuff?”


    “It seems there aren’t many civilizations in the universe. The only ones numbered in the records of the Iron Blood Civilization are the Engineer civilization, the Pioneer Empire, and the Arachnis Worm Race.”


    “Master, we have discovered quite a few resources. Should we stay on this planet for a while?” Black Hand asked.


    For example, the Iron Blood Civilization was actually wiped out by Jason, the undying murderer from Crystal Lake. He knew that Jason had been to space and had become even stronger, but he hadn’t expected Jason to advance so early and be much more powerful than in the original story.


    However, he wouldn’t go there in the short term, at least not until he had time to revamp and upgrade the Floating City with the knowledge he currently had on hand.


    But that’s a matter for later on. If given the choice of two items, he would surely add the Ocean Hat, but if he can’t choose, then naturally, he would have to opt for the Cursed Armor.


    Beyond the Iron Blood Civilization, Qin Muye also deemed the technologies of both the Pioneer and Engineer civilizations as absolutely essential to acquire.


    From this data, it was clear that the Iron Blood Civilization delved deep into the origins of various species and even civilizations, finding the same figure’s presence in all of them.


    Although he had many Spirit Monsters under his command, they still fell far short compared to a complete society. Initially, Wen Country could have gathered everything within three to five days, whereas his territory would need ten days to half a month.


    He did want to ask other Spirit Monsters for help, but their efficiency simply couldn’t keep up. Without Qin Muye, the Spirit Monsters in his territory were really nothing more than a group of upstarts, with all their cultural heritage propped up by him.


    He gained ten million points.


    It never occurred to him that God and the Eden Garden could possibly have an influence on an alien civilization.


    The Iron Blood Civilization’s Mother Star had more than one Royal Capital; there were many other cities as well. Qin Muye didn’t care much about the resources; he was more interested in the corresponding knowledge.


    The Iron Blood Civilization didn’t seem like it had any great moral character; surely searching for the origin of life wasn’t necessary to explain their legitimacy, and it seemed needless. Why bother when one could just fight?


    Slow and steady wins the race, so he planned to develop here until ready before using the Server Transfer Token to move to other servers.


    The resources expended didn’t matter at this point; each trip back and forth brought various types of data and literature, and the main issue was the difficulty of collection.


    This first time would take a bit longer, but subsequent endeavours wouldn’t be too problematic; it was entirely possible to cross-reference, speeding up the learning and realization processes.


    With ten million points deposited into his account, he glanced at it and then ignored it; at this point, points were just that to him.


    Therefore, the story didn’t matter anymore; blendings of multiple horror and thriller films didn’t require sticking to the original plot; in fact, it would be problematic if they did.


    In his memory, the Iron Blood Civilization always had a barbarian image. A civilization resembling an imperial and feudal society that sought its origins was unexpected.


    This Insect Race was unrelated to the aliens; the Insect Race was their own race, while the aliens were creatures made by the Engineers, a totem belief created in imitation of God, which Qin Muye read from the data on the life origin of the Iron Blood Civilization.


    It was at this moment he realized that today marked the first day of the limited-time event.


    Qin Muye had influence over these four interstellar civilizations—Iron Blood Warrior, Alien, Pacific Rim, and Galaxy Warriors, among others. So far, only the Iron Blood Warriors and Aliens had made an appearance, and if nothing went wrong, the plots of the remaining two wouldn’t emerge for hundreds or even thousands of years.


    If he were truly to be tempted, it would have to be at least the epic Profession of his choice, available on the fifth day.


    At this time, every Spirit Monster in the Different Plane Floating City was incredibly busy, intermittently using Teleportation Magic or the Super Space-Time Transmission Channel to transport to various regions of the entire planet.


    Qin Muye, engrossed in his work, suddenly received a prompt from “Lord Era.”


    But currently, the Horror Universe wasn’t a film universe, and developing corresponding plots was another matter entirely.


    As for trading, he did want to, but his points were tight, so he could only hold off for now.


    As for other civilizations, there were others, but none could compare.


    Following their origins, the Iron Blood Civilizations discovered Earth Planet, where at that time, humans were still living in a savage era, and horrors from Hell were rampant.


    Maybe the Cursed Armor could, just like Titan’s Arrow and the Super-Space Transmission Channel, be mounted in the Different Plane Floating City as a significant strategic weapon.
