The Insect-devouring Tree began to slowly retract its authority, gathering the planet’s energy and water sphere, adjusting the functions of the entire planet’s ecology.
Though the Insect-devouring Tree couldn’t beco the real World Consciousness, it should be able to replace it for a period, maintaining the planet’s basic ecology until a new World Consciousness is born.
Just like those ancestors from the Interstellar Corps who planted a Divine Tree on the Dead Star.
anwhile, the tens of thousands of people originally brought back from Hell had already fervently started to build their new hos. Despite it being nightti, they still constructed simple houses on the ground and began dividing labor to build their new hos.
The buildings from the original world were all unusable. After all, the entire world had nearly collided with Hell, and the atmospheres had begun to contact and rub against each other, causing the ground structures and even the entire surface layer to be overturned repeatedly.
Now the whole land is actually full of potholes, a scene of the apocalypse. The structures originally built on this land look as if they’d experienced a catastrophic earthquake.
Even the trees on the ground were overturned again and again, most now fragnted or uprooted, and original rivers were sucked up into the sky and now just flow wherever on returning to the ground.
If there were no Divine Tree to regulate the ecology, Xue Dili feels this world would take tens of millions of years to recover.
After finishing everything, Xue Dili finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He looked into the distance, where people continue to build their new hos in the dark, relying solely on torches. These people, who had been tornted by Hell’s demons for over a year, had not completely forgotten their basic knowledge.
It might be difficult to restore their forr civilization, but rely returning to a basic form, forging ancient waterwheels and farmlands, then slowly creating iron furnaces until steam engines... and internal combustion engines...
Even without complete industrial inheritance, perhaps within a few centuries they can restore their civilization.
After all, the planet’s original civilizational state seed similar to Earth’s; if not for the interference from demons and evil ghosts, they might have been more advanced technologically than Earth.
It’s a pity, because of the demons and evil ghosts’ harassnt, they misdirected their civilization towards a path of demonization.
Xue Dili thought this to himself and soon discontinued his involvent in these people’s construction of their new ho.
He returned to Hell, which now appeared worse than ever, as if the planet had been torn apart by a gigantic Husky. The ground was upheaving, the atmosphere twisting, storms, and frequent earthquakes made the entire planet seem ready to crack any mont.
This was actually because when it almost contacted Green Star, mutual gravity caused Hell’s mantle layer to shift. Now, after leaving the gravitational pull, the moving mantle needed to slowly restore under its own gravity.
After all, Hell is only a tenth the size of Green Star. This mutual gravitational impact was rely minor tremors for Green Star but extinction-level earthquakes for Hell.
Under such conditions, it’s a cataclysmic earthquake and storm that ensures no creature in this world can survive.
Xue Dili had to release the Divine Tree again, not the Insect-devouring Tree this ti, but the tree sealed from the Ninth Apostle’s ho planet.
Since now there were no other macroscopic life forms in Hell, perhaps only so microorganisms could survive in such an environnt, it might take billions of years to see civilization arise anew.
In contrast, it’s more realistic to wait for humans on Green Star to restore civilization, then reach here by spaceship.
After all, Hell is a satellite of Green Star, only 420,000 kiloters apart.
But Xue Dili didn’t completely let the Divine Tree go unchecked; being an Apostle’s Divine Tree, Xue Dili couldn’t fully control it. Therefore, a world-class seal still functioned upon it, leaving only a one-percent gap for simple ecological adjustnts in Hell.
anwhile, he attempted to arduously use the Divine Tree’s roots to investigate so remnants of information in this world.
Soon, as the roots spread across Hell, Xue Dili finally discovered so information left behind here.
This place seed to be a structure crafted by a demon; even after such drastic planetary changes, this enclosed room buried several kiloters underground hadn’t been destroyed.
Enclosed Demon? Or maybe Imprisoned Demon?
In Xue Dili’s hand, the Eight-Section Light Wheel slowly cut through the enclosed space like an electric saw, revealing a skeleton of an astronaut who’d been bisected at the waist.
An astronaut?
Xue Dili observed the area, finding the astronaut had been dead for a long ti, his upper and lower body separated, the whole body seed severed at the waist, splitting the spacesuit. The corpse had long dried into a skeleton inside the suit, dead for at least over a year.
It seems shortly after the demon outbreak he died, even enduring inhumane torture before death while trapped here.
Was it the Enclosed Demon? The Bisecting Demon? Or was it the 2.5 Demon’s doing?
Xue Dili couldn’t determine, but he started collecting information left on the astronaut, discovering a watch on his wrist.
It was a type of watch Xue Dili hadn’t seen before, appearing to be a high-tech item specially provided to astronauts.
Upon Xue Dili picking up the watch, it seed to automatically trigger so program.
"Hello, to the person who picked up this watch, if you are a demon, I request you pass this watch to the remaining humans. They can use the knowledge within to reproduce and proliferate more humans. If you’re human, then listen carefully..."
"I’m the station chief of Space Station Kallis Three, we were attacked by demons, it’s cosmic demons responsible, our space station was consud, we were all controlled by demons..."
"Perhaps all the cities on the ground were attacked by demons too, but demons won’t kill us all. They must rely on human numbers to maintain their existence, so everyone, if we live, living ans victory!"
The voice from the watch seed like a man’s heavy breathing, even mixed with sounds of pain and fear.
"Demons will never defeat us..."
"Please, everyone, survive, even in Hell, persevere, we will surely win..."
"Kallis Three Station’s Chief, leaving a ssage in World Calendar year 8754."
The information disappeared from the watch, and Xue Dili silently looked at the bisected astronaut.
Despite this enclosed space rolling and lying dormant beneath Hell’s surface for unknown durations, the bizarre posture of the skeleton indicated he was killed by demons, even forced to take extrely distorted actions before dying, seemingly intent on instilling terror in the astronaut.
Yet in the astronaut’s final monts, he still chose to record his words, hoping to leave the most valuable legacy for those who co later.
Its na is Civilization.
Xue Dili quietly put away the watch in his hand. It might not represent an entire civilization, but for those planning to rebuild hos on Green Star, many docunts and knowledge might save them from countless wrong paths, reducing the ti to restore industrialization by several folds.
As for the humans on the ground... the Insect-devouring Tree will provide them with basic food and fresh water until they complete their sowing and achieve the first harvest.
Xue Dili closed his eyes, and at that mont, continued exploring more of Hell through the roots. Not only did he wish to find information left by the civilization on Green Star, he also sought to discover the native civilization and humans originally from Hell, the remnants of their information.
Xue Dili believes there was civilization in Hell, even its degree of developnt was not low, considering Hell had "Human Demons" and "chanical Demons." This at least proves when interfacing with Green Star, the prior civilization had already reached the industrial era.
