The Harlet Wasteland, which was now commonly known as the Titan Plains, was divided into two regions. The border between the two regions was the boundless Thunder Prison.
The shallow populated regions were actually vast enough that it was impossible to measure the borders. However, the most densely populated regions were always the two cities, Cape Town and Vila Nova Dônia.
The entire region where the Seymour people lived, not only this wasteland, was a barren land in the eyes of the Ansorenne people. In the eyes of the Aishi People, it was a rural area that wasn't even worth mentioning.
Rorschach's proposal, the joint development plan led by the Game Church, changed all of this.
The seeds of civilization were sown. The locals, who were used to barefoot wearing animal skins, entered the office wearing suits. The intertwining of old and new civilizations brought about endless opportunities … Let's stop with the pleasantries. Let's talk about something more practical.
"What truly changed the wasteland wasn't our development plan. We don't have the power to attract these big fish and the flood that can change everything. It's only because there are enough benefits here."
How to turn a remote mountain village into a new city? Just by finding a gold mine … Sounds ridiculous? Then, let's change to a more realistic way of putting it.
"How to turn a desert into a golden city? It's enough to find oil. "
Yes, it was such a simple matter. However, it was completely uncontrollable and purely depended on luck.
However, even with Rorschach's limited life experience, he knew that sometimes, no matter how hard you worked, it still couldn't compare to the arrival of good luck.
The original plan was to gradually attract the Seymour people to move in after the construction (empty handed) of Vila Nova Dônia. Then, they would slowly catch up to Mount Sainte and Cape Town. It was roughly four five-year plans and two ten-year plans.
Yep, that's right. Rorschach estimated that even if everything went smoothly, it would take about forty years to reach the same scale as Cape Town.
The premise was that everything went smoothly, so smoothly that it was unimaginable. Corner City would not take the initiative to attack the newcomers, and the Holy Mountain would not regard the outsiders as heretics and mortal enemies in terms of religious beliefs.
Obviously, this was impossible. The most powerful faction in the wastelands, Cape Town, and Mount Sainte, who ruled the spiritual realm of the wastelands, would not hand over their authority so easily.
Back then, Rorschach had even planned to spend his entire life to complete this great undertaking, so that his sister would have a place to make a fortune and a reliable source of faith. She wouldn't have to worry about falling into an eternal slumber that was even more miserable than death.
But no matter what, when you were ready to work hard, you suddenly won the lottery and dug out oil. Then, the goal you were prepared to work hard for would suddenly be realized. Then, your original life plan would become meaningless.
Now, the Aishi People in this wasteland were the lucky ones who had suddenly discovered oil.
This "oil field" was the wasteland's uninhabited wasteland.
"… Considering the increased area of the minefields after the Titan awakened, as well as the area of the minefields in the uninhabited wasteland, we speculate that there may be more than four ancient Titans in this wasteland."
"The laws of the Titan's domain are quite strange. The physical plane is usually in an unstable state, so they may possess the power of laws that we can't understand."
"The most primordial divine power and authority, as well as ancient relics. This is an opportunity to become a (primordial) God."
"How foolish. The memories and knowledge in their heads are the most precious. Perhaps we can obtain not only ancient memories, but also information about the Aishi Mother Goddess."
Some news was impossible to stop, especially "good news" that a treasure had been unearthed.
Next, it was quite natural for the powerful Gods to enter the wasteland. Vila Nova Dônia's twenty-member board of directors were all incredible level 6 or 7 Churches. They were Gods who could easily crush the Silver Elf War God with just a single squad.
Their entrance changed many things. The most obvious change was the difference in power between the Aishi and the native Aishi in this wasteland.
Even if Sydeon hadn't died, Cape Town hadn't fallen into internal strife, and Mount Sainte hadn't been devoured by the lightning domain, all they could do was watch as Vila Nova Dônia rose to power.
Their originally stable development plans could all be canceled. With the powerful injection of foreign capital and power, Vila Nova Dônia's development could no longer be described as simply "changing with each passing day." It was like the nouveau riche didn't lack money at all.
The end result was that many Allied Churches that hadn't been strong enough but still had a lot of shares "voluntarily" left this wasteland to make room for the new Gods.
Of course, they also received returns that were several times or even dozens of times what they had invested back then. In terms of return on investment, it was even more exaggerated than real estate speculation. However, considering the future value of these "shares," no one would think that this was a good deal. After all, some things couldn't be bought with money.
The Game Church wasn't very strong, but they had a lot of shares. It seemed like they had diluted their shares, but in reality, the actual increase in wealth could only be calculated from a thousandfold increase.
Why? Many people couldn't understand why a "weakling" like the Game Church hadn't been instantly swept out of the wasteland. Instead, they had developed so much.
The reason? Actually, only a very small number of people knew the reason. However, when it came to the root cause, it could only be described with one sentence.
"The Game Church is useful."
Yes, useful. It was such a simple matter. To the Gods, the Game Church and a certain person in the Church were very useful.
The Game Church gave up on industries that could cause conflicts (other Gods' domains) and focused on entertainment and news industries that no one liked. They provided services in this area for the city. They were considered newcomers who knew their place and had good judgment … However, this alone wasn't enough. After all, other small and medium Churches also knew how to tuck their tails between their legs. However, they still "voluntarily" left.
The real reason why the Game Church was accepted by the Gods and was even given a twenty-member board position was because one of the core members of the Game Church was very useful.
Yep, needless to say, this person was Rorschach himself.
The reason was obvious. The Gods interfered because of the item in the minefield. As for those who entered the minefield … Excluding the Gods' private records, not a single one of them returned two years ago.
In a blank wasteland, there was no need to mention how important information was. However, it seemed that just bringing back information was extremely difficult. Being able to establish contact with the wasteland explorers in the minefield was even more impossible … That was before Rorschach's ability was exposed.
During that successful escape, it was already proven that even the minefield was unable to stop Rorschach from contacting the God Lori. In that case, if Rorschach joined the wasteland explorers, wouldn't he be able to establish contact with the Gods immediately?
Unfortunately, there was only one Rorschach. If it weren't for the fact that they were worried about "losing" too quickly, he would have been brought in long ago.
Under the efforts of the Gods, the subsequent wasteland explorers brought back many things. At the very least, it was confirmed that Rorschach was only a half-baked Tier 4 professional. Entering the minefield would be equivalent to committing suicide.
Therefore, the Game Church and the other major churches actually had a private agreement. They would provide resources to increase Rorschach's strength and allow him to enter the minefield as an explorer one day in the future.
The other half of the secret agreement was naturally to ensure Rorschach's safety. Without sufficient preparation and sufficient reason, they would not transfer Rorschach to the minefield explorers.
This was also in consideration of the rarity and preciousness of Rorschach's talent ability. This statement had been widely accepted. Only when the time was right would the 20-member board of directors send Rorschach into the minefield.
But now, this sudden request seemed to be saying that the time for the secret agreement was right.
Looking at this invitation, Rorschach fell into silence.
It was impossible to refuse. The 20-member board of directors had already given too much to the Game Church for this request. It was unrealistic to only enjoy the benefits and not take responsibility. This was especially true when the other party paid first and was much stronger than him.
What he was thinking was whether it was really the right time for the Great Exploration, or if those guys were just taking a gamble because they couldn't make any progress for a long time.
However, Rorschach wasn't afraid of this invitation at all.
