Fortunately, Meng Chao's talent as a harvester did not disappear because he was injured.
This was because harvesting required fine touch and precise control, and it was mainly done through the 1,024 branch meridians.
No matter how intense the fight against Lu Siya was, it caused all the main meridians to become dispirited, and not a single drop was left.
But the branch meridians were like capillaries. There were always a few that were undamaged.
Meng Chao used the harvester's skills and his fingers vibrated at high frequencies in the depths of the dirty water. He quickly carved rows of profound and complicated shorthand symbols on the ground.
"Once the mission is completed.
"Once I find a suitable guide, I can try to get into contact with the powerful high-grade orcs who have nowhere else to go.
"During the process of modifying the guide, I confirmed once more that the carbon-based intelligent creatures who can survive in the Other World's ecosphere and develop a civilization have similar physiological structures and the operation of their vitality magnetic fields. They can follow the same rules to cultivate.
"Just like Earthlings, high-grade orcs also have spirit meridians. They are also divided into main meridians and branch meridians.
"But they seem to have more main meridians than Earthlings, and fewer branch meridians than Earthlings, who have 1,024 meridians.
"This means that compared to Earthlings, high-grade orcs have greater explosive power.
"But when it comes to endurance, concentration, and fine control, they are far inferior.
"Perhaps this is why the high-grade orcs haven't developed outstanding technology and are stuck in the era where the strong are respected.
"Speaking of which, the physical qualities of high-grade orcs are indeed astonishing.
"Even among the rat people, who have the lowest status in society and are theoretically enslaved and ostracized by everyone, the teenagers who have never received proper training have the speed and strength of veteran soldiers in Dragon City.
"If they're human warriors, with just a little bit of training, it's easy for them to gain fighting strength equivalent to one-star superhumans.
"Besides, their numbers are like that of a monster horde.
"This is a force that can overturn Dragon City or change the direction of the Other World war and prevent Dragon City from being destroyed.
"Also, I found signs of cultivation in the guide's body.
"His force execution method is very similar to Ripple Force, but it's even more ingenious and profound than Ripple Force.
"The three basic force execution methods in Dragon City come from the mysterious runic symbols we found in the depths of Ruins No.1.
"The guide said that his power also came from a mural in the depths of a cave.
"Does it mean that the earthlings and the high-level orcs share the same heritage, and that we are both products of the game between the 'mother' and the 'ancients' after the primordial war?"
Meng Chao recorded his new discovery that day.
He nodded in satisfaction. Then, he turned around and carefully searched through the dense information that had been engraved over the past few days.
Due to his severe injuries, the spores of the Blood Flower and the mysterious green tide had invaded his body.
His mind was often groggy, as if there were countless burning thorns growing in it, tearing apart the memories of his past and present lives.
Therefore, he had to record all of his thoughts, analyze them repeatedly, and engrave them in his heart.
Only then could he remember who he was, what he needed to do next, and what his ultimate mission was.
"Stop Dragon City from being destroyed."
This was the first line of words he had engraved when he had just woken up in the depths of the dungeon.
It was also the largest and most deeply imprinted line of words.
Below is the specific method.
From thick to thin.
After constant editing and smearing, he deliberated over it many times.
"Is it possible to stop the Other World War from erupting?"
This was the first method Meng Chao thought of.
If the Other World War had not happened, Dragon City would not have been dragged into the flames of war, and naturally, it would not have been destroyed.
But on this question, he had already drawn a big X on it.
He had also engraved a few lines of words under it as an answer.
"The Other World War cannot be avoided.
"The eruption of any world war is the result of the conflicts in the world's structure accumulating to the limit. It is the result of a change in quantity to a change in quality. It will not change because of the will of any ruler or powerful person.
"For the time being, I haven't thought about the situation of the other civilizations in the Other World.
"But based on my observations and memories of the situation in the Turan civilization, I know that the war for the Other World War has already started.
"The Turan people are high-grade orcs. They have a very unique ecological environment and social system.
"Their civilization is closely related to a plant known as Mandala. You can even say that they are completely controlled by Mandala.
"Mandala is a strange plant. Its roots can reach hundreds of meters underground and absorb the spirit energy in the crystal mines.
"It also uses a lot of spirit energy to continuously grow fruits that are full and nutritious.
"The taste of Mandala Fruit is between avocado and durian, but the heat and spirit energy it contains is one hundred times greater. It can be compared to the high-calorie nutritional fluid in Dragon City, and it even contains a lot of minerals and trace elements.
"You can say that Mandala is enough to satisfy the needs of the high-grade orcs.
"Mandala Trees can grow in any environment. Even if the surface of the ground is barren, their roots can reach deep underground to absorb spirit energy and heat, and they can continuously grow big and sweet fruits.
"Because of this, the Turan people did not have to worry about a lack of food.
"In a medieval society where only the strong were respected, there was no nightlife, school district housing, or mobile games. They did not have to worry about a lack of food. The only result was an explosion in population.
"All the high-grade orcs ate and gave birth.
"The children they gave birth to grew faster than Earthlings due to the stimulation from the rich spirit energy contained in the Mandala Fruit.
"Usually, when they were twelve or thirteen years old, they gained the ability to reproduce again.
"Such a unique environment allowed the high-grade orcs to have the greatest ability to produce an army in the Other World.
"But Mandala Trees are the source of their success, and Mandala Trees are also the source of their downfall. Mandala Trees might seem to be filled with treasures, and just one of their crops could support an entire civilization, but they had a fatal flaw. Every few years or decades, they would bloom, and their flowering period would be several years or even decades.
"During their flowering period, Mandala Trees would not bear fruit. They would not even bear a single fruit.
"This means that the high-grade orcs, who relied on Mandala Fruits as their main source of food and had their population grow to a point where it far surpassed what the land could support, would face a destructive famine once every few years.
"Regardless of whether it was ancient times or modern times, Earth or the Other World, there were only two ways to get through a famine.
"They could either expand outwards and snatch more food.
"Or they could compete among themselves and get rid of the excess population.
"In practice, the Turan people liked to do both. They would wage war to snatch more food and resources while getting rid of the excess population.
"It didn't matter who won or lost the war. As long as they lasted until the flowering period ended and the next Mandala Flowers bloomed, that would be enough.
"Hence, the history of the Turan civilization was divided into two completely different stages by the Mandala Flowers.
"When the flowering period ended and the fruits were plentiful, it was the Prosperous Era.
"The Turan people would rest and build up their strength during this stage. They would reproduce in large numbers until they filled up every inch of space in Turan Lake.
"When the flowering period arrived and the famine arrived, it was the Glorious Era.
"The Turan people would wage a sacred war to obtain supreme glory. They would also get rid of the excess population while they were at it.
"Over the course of millions of years, the Prosperous Era and the Glorious Era alternated, causing reproduction and war to become the main theme of the Turan civilization that would never change."
But this time, the situation was unique.
Meng Chao did not know whether Dragon City's transmigration had caused the magnetic field of the planet near Monster Mountain Range to change.
Or was it just as Mother 01 had said. The ultimate carbon-based creature from the ancient war, the mother, had been blown to pieces by space-based orbital weapons.
The fragment lurking in the depths of Turan Lake, Mother 02, had also gradually woken up.
In any case, almost at the same time Dragon City transmigrated, the Turan civilization welcomed its longest and most prosperous era in history.
The prosperous era lasted for half a century, and it caused the Turan civilization to have an unprecedented population.
High-grade orcs could be smelled everywhere in the vast Turan Lake. They could also hear their wild roars.
Even the mountains and valleys that were deserted in the past were now filled with people.
This meant that once the Mandala flowers bloomed and they could not harvest any food, the Turan civilization would face the largest famine in history.
It also meant that the Turan civilization had the ability to create the largest army in history and launch the largest war in history.
Turan Lake was destined to be the birthplace of the Other World war.
Even if Meng Chao had a glib tongue and had the ability to teleport and control minds, he could still teleport in front of the rulers of the Turan civilization and convince these warlike and fearless people to believe in love and peace.
As long as he could not solve the problem of hundreds of millions of high-grade orcs starving.
He could not stop the war.
"If the Other World war cannot be avoided, then can I make a completely different choice from my previous life and think of a way to make Dragon City jump on the victor's chariot?"
This was the second method Meng Chao thought of.
But he also put a huge cross on this method.
Right now, he had awakened to a lot of his previous life's memories.
He could roughly remember the development of the Other World war in his previous life.
In his previous life, the races in the Other World were mainly divided into two camps — holy light and chaos.
The high-grade orcs, abyss demons, ancient tomb kings, gray dwarves, and blood elves who lived at the borders of the Other World's main continent were all chaos races.
They fought against the Holy Light Alliance formed by the Other World humans, elves, dwarves, and dragons who lived at the center of the main continent and occupied the most fertile land and the most powerful spirit energy.
He could tell just by the name.
Even if the chaos camp's offense was fierce at the beginning of the war and they won a lot of partial victories, they were proud and arrogant for a while.
In the end, they could not avoid being pushed back by the holy light camp, which had a lot of resources and a great foundation of power. They were utterly defeated and not a single one of them survived.
In his previous life, Dragon City was left with only a few members. Under the threat and temptation of the hungry and murderous high-grade orcs, they joined the chaos camp in a muddle-headed manner.
From then on, they were coerced by their stupid teammates and stepped on the path of destruction.
Then, in this life, as long as they changed sides and jumped from chaos to holy light, would they be able to avoid disaster and even enjoy the benefits of the war?
It was not that simple.
