Chapter 722 Late Stage 5 Evolved Plants
Just as Cangnian said, the Ark did not stay in Jiangcheng for long.
Before leaving, Cangnian summoned the Imperial Seal of the State and, using the method Ye Dingjiang had taught him, established a connection between the Imperial Seal and the millions of survivors in Jiangcheng.
However, what made Cang Nian frown was that among the survivors in Jiangcheng, there were actually some who could not provide the Imperial Seal with any power of will.
Upon further investigation, Cang Nian discovered that a large portion of those who were unable to provide the Imperial Seal with the power of will were foreigners.
They are foreigners, so it's naturally not so easy for them to establish a sense of belonging and identity with China.
But since only a portion of them are foreigners, it also means that there is a group of Chinese people who do not feel a sense of belonging or identity with China.
As far as Cang Nian knows, the power to provide for the Imperial Seal of the State does not necessarily require a fierce and ruthless warrior; it can only be supported by a fervent sense of pride in the Dragon Kingdom.
By not resisting their identity as citizens of the Dragon Kingdom, they can at least contribute their spiritual power to the Imperial Seal of the State.
In other words, those Dragon Kingdom people who couldn't provide the power of their vows for the Imperial Seal were actually resisting their identity as Dragon Kingdom people.
Cangnian had Noah record these people and draft a list, which he then gave to a powerful figure in the capital who was preparing to return to the capital to deliver the message to Ye Dingjiang.
In Cang Nian's own opinion, this kind of spiritual foreigner is much more hateful than foreigners.
However, Cang Nian didn't want to get his hands dirty, so he simply handed it over to Ye Dingjiang.
Cang Nian believes that Ye Dingjiang, as the current first owner of the Imperial Seal, had already seen from this perspective who had no sense of belonging to the Dragon Kingdom when he established contact between the Imperial Seal and the survivors in the capital.
Cang Nian also believed that Ye Dingjiang had zero tolerance for such things, and that eliminating these hidden dangers was a necessary step if he could easily distinguish them.
Although most of these people do not have great strength or hold high positions, they can lack a sense of belonging to the Dragon Kingdom for various reasons, so they can naturally lack a sense of belonging to Earth in the future.
Having established contact with the survivors of Jiangcheng through the Imperial Seal, Cang Nian sensed that this special magical artifact could also exert its power to suppress ordinary fifth-order perfect cultivators here.
"What Imperial Seal... Shouldn't it be able to receive the blessings of all the people of the Dragon Kingdom just because it's in the Dragon Kingdom...?"
Looking at the ancient jade seal that posed absolutely no threat to him, Cang Nian curled his lip and complained.
……
310 days after birth.
Passing through Jiangcheng, the Ark continued forward, using the little sable to build a spatial passage, and advanced steadily for five days.
Along the way, there were actually quite a few cities, but they were all deserted and covered by wildly growing evolved plants, a lush and green expanse. If you didn't specifically look for them, you wouldn't be able to tell that less than a year ago, these places were modern cities with populations ranging from hundreds of thousands to millions.
It can only be said that, despite the advancements in human civilization, seemingly magnificent buildings are utterly vulnerable to the erosion of nature.
Given more time, steel bars will rust, concrete will weather, and the power of time will erase all traces of human civilization. Even non-biodegradable plastic products will only last for a few hundred years at most.
Without deliberate protection, everything created by humankind appears so ridiculous under the immense power of nature.
However, most of the people who went to the empty cities were not survivors who had been wiped out by the invasion of evolved creatures, but rather they were heading to the nearest large city in search of refuge.
In this regard, the higher-ups in Jiangcheng have actually done a pretty good job. Apart from the huge casualties caused by the earthquake during the first spiritual energy revival tide, the Jiangcheng government has done its best to gather survivors from surrounding cities and towns in the Jiangcheng survivor base and provide them with shelter.
"Master, a late-stage fifth-order fluctuation has been detected ahead."
Just as Cangnian was admiring the surrounding scenery, Noah's voice rang in his mind.
"Oh? Late stage of fifth tier? Is it an evolved being or an evolved creature?"
Hearing this, Cang Nian became slightly interested.
If nothing unexpected happens, this place shouldn't be far from the mountain city.
A late-stage fifth-order cultivator might not seem like much in the Northeast Allied Army of the Dragon Kingdom, but unless they are veteran powerhouses like Yang Tianhuang, they are considered to be at the forefront of the evolutionary wave, whether they are evolved humans or evolved creatures.
Noah is directing the early warning aircraft to approach and conduct reconnaissance...
"Master, you are neither an evolved being nor an evolved animal, but an evolved plant!"
Noah responded to Cang Nian, then suddenly cried out.
"An evolved plant? A late-stage fifth-order evolved plant?"
Hearing this, Cangnian was extremely surprised.
It's important to know that plants are at the bottom of the food chain.
As for evolved plants, according to the food chain, they are destined to lag behind in the evolutionary hierarchy.
In other words, the pine trees stayed with him; otherwise, they might have frozen to death in the cold wave.
Even if it were lucky enough not to freeze to death in the cold wave, it would be impossible for it to break through to the fifth rank at this stage.
But a late-stage fifth-tier evolved plant is way too overpowered!
Aside from the fifth-tier pine tree Cangsong that he cultivated himself, the only fifth-tier plant Cangnian had ever seen was the fifth-tier banyan tree that stood between Quancheng and the capital.
Cang Nian has experienced firsthand how difficult this thing is to deal with.
The reason this guy was able to break through to the fifth rank was because there was a spirit stone mine beneath him.
Could it be that the late-stage fifth-tier plants we're encountering now also have such an opportunity?
Although these are no longer higher-level spirit stones and are of no use to me, having more spirit stones would allow the Northeast Allied Army of the Dragon Kingdom to train another batch of fifth-tier powerhouses, which is certainly a good thing!
Evolved plants consume more evolutionary resources than evolved animals and are naturally much stronger at the same level, but in the late fifth level, they can't cause much trouble.
Therefore, Cangnian's current attitude is not tense at all, but only curious.
“Master, if Noah’s perception is not wrong, the late-stage fifth-order evolved plant ahead covers an area of tens of kilometers in radius!”
Moreover…and within its area, there are numerous fifth-tier spiritual energy fluctuations!
Then, Noah said something astonishing.
"Huh? What's going on? Can you send back some footage so we can see?"
Upon hearing this, Cang Nian's interest grew even stronger, and he asked curiously.
"Good host!"
Noah responded cheerfully.
A few seconds later, a streak of light flashed before Cang Nian's eyes, forming a scene in front of him.
In the picture, a tall, straight, green bamboo stands lushly on the earth.
The bamboo forest seemed to be very domineering. Dozens of kilometers away from the bamboo forest, there were no evolved plants that grew to more than 100 meters tall. Only some weeds that were only a few meters tall filled the gap.
