"Create the glory of the Vestigial Tribe?"
The woman in gray armor showed disdain in her eyes. Of course, she knew what the Vestigial Tribe was. There were stories about the Vestigial Tribe everywhere in the Atlan Dimension.
Many thousands of years ago, the Atlan Dimension might have been called the Vestigial Dimension because it was a fort built by the Vestigial Tribe. It was a fort that could isolate the power of the natural order.
However, the Vestigial Tribe failed in the end but they did not know that innumerable years later, a new intelligent tribe would be born between the dimensions.
All intelligent civilization would learn, and the Atlan Dimension had a lot of knowledge left by the Vestigial Tribe. From being ignorant in the beginning to the final rapid progress of civilization, the Atlan civilization gradually grasped some of the Vestigial Tribe's methods. They even called the Vestigial Tribe a God Tribe. They were not the same as the ordinary gods in the Void Zone, and instead, possessed unimaginable power.
The Atlan civilization claimed themselves to be descendants of the God Tribe!
However, only the Atlans knew that was not true. They were simply natives born in the dimension and knew a little about the Vestigial Tribe. If the real Vestigial Tribe knew that they called themselves the Vestigial Tribe descendants, they would be made a laughingstock.
However, the Atlan civilization was shrouded in a fanatical mood. They believed that they would be able to reproduce the splendor of their ancestors. Only a few people remained clear-headed.
So, what if they became as powerful as the Vestigial Tribe? In the end, it was still destroyed. It was just that many people knew this truth but simply did not want to face it.
...
The giant Slothful Beast slowly moved forward in the Void Zone, and Merlin and others once again returned to the Giant Tribe. Monre heard about the news ahead of time, so the Giant Tribe came to greet Chronos.
Roman jumped off the back of the Slothful Beast, looked around, and murmured, "Where's the ancestral land?"
Without explaining it to Monre, Chronos said, "Come with me."
Then, he took Roman and the others into the Giant Tribe ancestral land.
Looking at the ancestral land shrouded in the stench of death, Roma was somewhat surprised and said, "This place is a bit weird. It's so full of death… I'm afraid it wasn't an ordinary being that died here!"
Even if it was a Great Lord that died, it was impossible to form such a stench of death. Only when ultimate existences died would the stench of death soar and envelope a dimension. With how dense the stench of death here was, it was not only one ultimate existence that died here.

"This is the ancestral land! Roman, you can go in and have a look but you can't stay, let alone grab anything inside."
Chronos looked at Merlin and Setoh. He promised to let Roman enter the ancestral land but that was very selfish. The ancestral land was an important place, and no one could enter.
However, the ancestral land now was a place full of all kinds of dangers. If Roman can clear these obstacles, the ancestral land would become the ancestral land of the entire Giant Tribe. It would be of great benefit to the Giant Tribe.
However, Chronos also knew that Merlin and Setoh wanted to take advantage of the Vestigial Tribe relics in the ancestral land so that Roman could join the Spell Caster civilization first, and then come to the ancestral land to take the relics after the war was over.
It was like killing three birds with one stone. Roman would obtain what the Vestigial Tribe left behind, the Giants would also get a truly safe ancestral land, and the Spell Caster civilization's crisis would be lifted. Therefore, Chronos was on Merlin and Setoh's side this time.
"Haha, if I see the Vestigial Tribe relics, I'll keep my promise!"
Roman also knew what Chronos meant, and directly stepped into the ancestral land.
Roman stepped into the ancestral land that was wrapped in the thick stench of death. He entered alone, and Merlin and the others did not follow him in and instead just waited patiently.
Soon, the stench of death of the ancestral land bubbled out, and Roman's figure instantly flew out, appearing in front of Merlin and the others.
A smile appeared on Merlin's face as he calmly asked, "What do you think, Sir Roman? I didn't lie to you, right?"
Seeing the excitement on Roman's face, anyone would know that he was satisfied.
Indeed, Roman nodded heavily and said, "Yes, yes, it's very good! It seems there was a war between the Vestigial Tribe and the Giant Tribe. Tsk, the places where the Vestigial Tribe fought which I found were all reduced to ruins. Who would've thought that this dimension would be preserved so well? It's very unusual. The Giant Tribe is worthy of being called a profound and powerful civilization!"
Roman was extremely satisfied, and Chronos also laughed. The Giant Tribe did not know how to use Vestigial Tribe relics, so they were of no use. However, if Roman wanted to clear up the Vestigial Tribe relics in the ancestral land in the future, and could discover some Heritage Bloods, that would be a huge benefit for the Giant Tribe.
After all, Chronos knew from what Merlin and Setoh said that the Giant Dimension used to be the Titan Dimension in the past. The battlefield was specially set up to exterminate the Vestigial Tribe. Now, Roman's words undoubtedly verified Merlin and Setoh's words.

"Good, in that case, can we set off for the Spell Caster civilization?"
Setoh asked with a smile.
"Bang."
Suddenly, without any warning, Setoh's body instantly exploded into a shower of glittering sparks, and completely disappeared from the Void Zone.
"What's going on?"
"What happened to Wizard Setoh?"
This sudden change left everyone stranded and shocked!
...
"Boom."
Without the collapse of another dimension, the Atlan civilization had fully drained twenty-eight dimensions.
However, at this moment, many Atlans were overjoyed and shouted madly, "We did it, it succeeded! The Vestigial Tribe's strongest power, the power to break down the natural order, has been discovered! Haha, we've consumed twenty-eight dimensions but it's worth it. As long as we have this power, what else is frightening in the Void Zone?"
Many Atlans knew what this meant. It meant that the history of the Atlan civilization would be radically changed. They had acquired the systematic knowledge left behind by the Vestigial Tribe for countless years in the Atlan Dimension, and only a small part had been studied.
However, the strength of the Atlan civilization was already very terrifying. The only threat to them now was the ultimate existence of civilizations in the Void Zone.
Just one ultimate existence would be able to suppress the entire Atlan civilization but the Atlans were unwilling. How could they be suppressed by just one being?
However, an ultimate existence's strength truly made one despair. It was like a mountain that pressed on everyone's hearts. Fortunately, they had a method from the knowledge the Vestigial Tribe left behind, which was one of the Vestigial Tribe's strongest abilities.
That was the power to break down the natural order's power!
Once this power was mastered, the Atlan civilization would truly change history, and their only weakness would be remedied. However, just for this power, the Atlan civilization had consumed unimaginable amounts of resources. If they were simply in the Atlan Dimension, then they would have run out of resources long ago if they aimed for the long-term development of the Atlan civilization.
However, they had left the Atlan Dimension and arrived in the vast Void Zone, where were limitless resources for them to waste unbridled.
As a result, they had succeeded. After draining twenty-eight dimensions worth of energy, they finally created the power to break down the natural order.
"Has it been developed?"
A man in gray armor who was supervising asked imposingly.
The gray armor symbolize the top warriors of the Atlan civilization, and was also a small group of people who possessed privileges. The armor worn by those people were also mentioned in the knowledge left behind by the Vestigial Tribe, and was called the Gray Light Armor.
This was the greatest strength of the Vestigial Tribe. Above the Gray Light Armor was the Black Star Armor and the Golden Ray Armor. Unfortunately, the Atlan civilization had only researched the Gray Light Armor. However, this was not the real Gray Light Armor, and was only half as powerful as the real thing.
After all, these three kinds of armors required the knowledge system of the Vestigial civilization and the strength of their foundation, which was the Brain of Life. The Atlan civilization could absorb and make use of the Vestigial Tribe's knowledge but the most important basic knowledge such as the Brain of Life, could not be produced at all.
The Atlan civilization only produced the intelligence chip but this intelligence chip was essentially different from the Brain of Life. Even though the intelligence chip could store a lot of knowledge and had limited intelligence, it could not transmit power bit by bit into the mind of Atlans, and could not grow with the people like the Vestigial Tribe's Brain of Life could.
This was related to the entire knowledge structure and system. The Atlans did not have the Brain of Life nor could they make the Black Star Armor or the Golden Ray Armor. The Gray Light Armor was below ultimate existences and its uses were not too big, far less than that of the void-level warship manufactured this time.
The void-level warship was the real breakthrough of the Atlan civilization!
"It's a success but because it just succeeded, the energy conversion rate is too low. All the energy drained from the twenty-eight dimensions was only enough to support to fire one shot from the main cannon of the void-level warship."
The Atlan civilization researchers were also helpless. The maturity of this technology required a long time to apply and could not be achieved overnight.
"One shot? That's already enough. This shot is enough to change the balance of the war!"
A cold smile appeared on the gray armored man.
Thus, the Atlan civilization informed the two Rock Tribe progenitors and the Lord God of Light to lure out the three Ultimate Arcane Wizards. As long one Arcane Wizard was killed, the two Rock Tribe progenitors would be able to pin down the remaining two Ultimate Arcane Wizards.
As for the Lord God of Light, what did it matter when facing against Spell Casters who could control minds?
At the moment, the manufacture of the void-level warship had succeeded, and the results of the war had already been decided!

Maker of Fire
On a world where magic kept civilization firmly in the bronze age, the Gods dropped an accountant and a mining engineer to start a political and industrial revolution. They wanted enlightened governance and a fast track to the iron age. They got indoor plumbing, paper airplanes, a cranky queen, and one very grumpy prophet. Dramatis Personae Aylem was a bookkeeping student when she died. The Gods reincarnated her as the greatest mage ever known, born into the ruling class of gigantic, magic-wielding humans. The Gods expect her to conquer the world and introduce double-entry accounting. Though Queen and numerical reformer, world conquest is stalled because everyone is scared of her and she doesn't like war. Emily was a retired engineer when she died. The Gods reincarnated her as one of the enslaved class of small, magicless humans. The Gods expect her to drag the world out of the bronze age. Though she's already recreated matches and wrought iron, introducing technology isn't going well because she was born a slave (oops) and having escaped, wants nothing to do with so-called "civilization." Asgotl was a whale when he died. The Gods reincarnated him as a griffin and expect him to have the same role he played in his previous life: to keep a reluctant prophet from walking off the job. If only they had remembered to tell him about it. Revised update schedule will be once a week on Saturdays, noonish Mountain Time (in North America)
