I became a god by treasure hunting after arriving 500 years early

This couldn’t be more normal.

As long as there was a civilization with order, someone would be arranged to watch over the outside.

Then these soldiers saw something, and they screamed loudly, claiming they "saw a red moon with a huge eye growing on it, causing a sense of unease in their hearts."

A few hours later, the entire group had disappeared.

Unfortunately, among the missing was an individual who possessed the Extraordinary Spark... It was only the second day that the Rize Civilization had entered the Pangu Continent, and order had not yet stabilized completely.

Unbeknownst to them, the Extraordinary Spark died just like that.

With a light sigh, Governor Leon lamented that no matter how much he tried to foresee the future, it was bleak, and without the Extraordinary Spark, it was akin to losing everything.

He did not know what the ability called "Extraordinary Spark" meant.

But the number "Extraordinary Spark:0" on the Communicator’s screen was shockingly poignant.

No amount of effort seemed to matter anymore...

The Seventh Branch was doomed.

...

What was worse, their Dream Ability User had also died.

Because as long as one saw that huge eyeball in a nightmare, the condition for "disappearance" would be triggered.

Their brave Dream Ability Users died in the process of exploring nightmares.

Therefore, the Rize people painted a pattern on the statue in the city square’s center, reminding everyone who had nightmares to close their eyes and not to see anything—as long as they didn’t see, they wouldn’t disappear.

...

This was the sorrow of the Rize people.

As long as that monster lived, they had to accept the fate of one disappearance after another.

They didn’t even know how the disappearances happened.

They didn’t even know what the monster looked like.

...

But today, a sudden inspiration gave Leon a glimmer of inexplicable hope!

He didn’t know what this sliver of hope was, but he quietly waited in his office, meanwhile praying for divine intervention—even though he didn’t really believe in God. The premonition grew stronger and stronger, almost as if his heart was about to leap out of his chest.

"Governor! Unknown electromagnetic waves have appeared outside!"

"There is a strange creature outside! It looks like it’s greeting us?"

"What is this situation... A being from another intelligent civilization?"

A General’s shout reached his ears, awakening Leon who was in a state of forewarning.

He jumped up from his seat: "The photos, show them to me quickly."

The tall General, emotionally, pulled out a stack of documents: "Governor, they even have a Metal ball Communicator similar to ours! He drew some pictures, it seems like they want to communicate?"

"Is he the one you foresaw... that glimmer of hope?"

Leon took the photos and began to read them.

Observing the outside was terrifying.

Because the round moon could inexplicably rise at any time.

Sometimes, even amidst the blue sky and white clouds, eyes would appear.

Once someone spotted those blood-red eyes, they would disappear... without exception.

Some abilities could cross over the Safe Zone, and the Rize Civilization had long recognized this.

The only way was not to observe the outside.

But without observing the outside, the lack of information meant a slow death.

So they could only use the most primitive film cameras; after taking photos with the camera, they could avoid the monster’s attack... (Note: This civilization’s semiconductor technology was far behind humans, with underdeveloped computers and lacking monitoring technology.)

However, film cameras required developing film to produce images, significantly slowing down their reaction time.

Leon, looking at the figure in the photos, felt the premonition strike through his mind like lightning.

"Quick, use a telepath to contact him! Make contact with the highest speed!"

An opportunity!

This was the last chance for his civilization to head towards a brighter future without the Extraordinary Spark!

Although Governor Leon didn’t understand the cause and effect of all this, he truly didn’t comprehend what an Alien from outside the Safe Zone could bring. Could it possibly transfer the Extraordinary Fire into the Safe Zone?

But he subconsciously trusted his ability.

"Governor, to use telepathy, you need to observe the other party with the naked eye..."

"Direct observation with the eyes, what if that monster suddenly appears, what then?"

The General explained gravely, "We only have one telepath in our entire city, a young man. Are you sure! He has many uses!"

The determination was clear on the Governor’s face: "Yes, I’m sure... Make contact... for the future of us all!"

"Hurry, we don’t have much time."

"Hesitate any longer, and the other party will leave! I know what you’re thinking, but many times, we have to take risks!"

The General opened his mouth to say something, but thinking of how the Governor had aged decades in the past half a month, he clenched his teeth: "Understood! I’ll send someone right away!"

First-class external contact began at that moment!

The Seventh Branch of the Rize Civilization even communicated with their kin through the Communicator.

The other 18 cities!

"Dear friends, we have encountered an Alien wandering outside the Safe Zone..."

"Now we are about to make contact. This will increase our understanding of the Pangu Continent."

The other branches of the Rize Civilization remained silent, not providing any opinion...

The fact that they could share even a bit of information was already a form of internationalism. Their opposition was in vain anyway.
