Chapter 1999 From possessing the title of king to becoming a king in the truest sense; [A Dream of Yellow Millet] +2
Initially, Loki thought the reward would be an increase in the "Authority of Lies" or a strengthening of Odin's bloodline.
He hadn't expected the reward to be related to Asgard.
But it must be said that this is indeed the most suitable reward for him.
Loki gazed into the distance; the light of the Rainbow Bridge was being restored, and under the starry sky, Asgardian warriors were clearing the battlefield.
A genuine smile curved at the corners of his lips, and Loki felt a sense of fulfillment stemming from responsibility and expectation.
But after the sense of fulfillment comes a heavier responsibility, and a subtle, almost imperceptible realization.
He has changed since joining the chat group.
He himself clearly felt this change.
Initially, his desire for the throne was less about ruling and more about proving himself.
Prove it to Odin, prove it to Thor, prove it to all those who have scorned him and regarded him as the "god of trickery and lies."
He wanted that position, but more than that, he wanted the recognition, the symbol of power that could soothe the unease and jealousy deep within him.
Only after he actually sat on the throne did he realize that ruling was far from child's play.
Governance, people's livelihood and economy, diplomacy and military affairs—these were all completely new fields for him.
So he bought knowledge about governance, political maneuvering, economics, and even the development of civilization from chat groups.
Using the resources and technology he traded with the group members, he cautiously attempted to develop Asgard, from basic technological improvements to tentative interstellar trade, and then to the purposeful integration of resources from the Nine Realms.
Everything was a process of trial and error, tinged with a desire for quick success and instant benefits. A large part of the motivation was to accumulate more points faster in order to strengthen oneself, solidify one's position, and even gain more say in the chat group.
He even waged wars against other civilizations.
In the name of the Asgardian God-King, they plunder points and expand their power.
He possessed the identity of "king" and exercised the power of "king," but deep down, he may not have fully grasped the full weight of "king."
Until now.
It wasn't until I experienced this war, witnessed firsthand the struggle and sacrifice of my people in dire straits, and personally experienced the different mindset of protecting a civilization rather than merely possessing it.
Until he received this reward that directly impacted the very essence of Asgardian civilization.
A certain shackle, or rather a delusion, has quietly shattered.
"From possessing the title of king, to becoming a king in the true sense of the word."
Loki muttered to himself.
He once thought that wearing a crown, sitting on the golden throne, and issuing commands made him a king.
Later, people believed that expanding territory, seizing resources, and growing power made one a king.
In retrospect, those may have just been different stages on the path to becoming a king, mere appearances and tactics.
A true king, perhaps, lies in leading, in paving the way for the future of the entire civilization, and in laying a great foundation.
While his personal strength is important, the prosperity of civilization is the most dazzling jewel in his crown, the most solid foundation of his authority, and the fundamental reason why the name "Loki" can surpass "the God of Lies" and truly be recorded in history.
He used to think he had already surpassed his father and become the greatest king of Asgard.
But at this moment, looking at the starry sky and recalling the figure who slept in the secret chamber and single-handedly intimidated the nine realms for thousands of years, that arrogance quietly faded away, transforming into a more complex respect and a desire to transcend.
"The best one is always the father."
Loki acknowledged it to himself.
He may seem to have "surpassed" his father in some ways, but in essence, he was still developing and adjusting on the vast foundation laid by Odin.
But now, the enhancements from Asgard have given him a different starting point.
A better foundation and surpassing predecessors is no longer a luxury, but a natural goal and a mission that this generation of god-king must shoulder!
Selecting talent, encouraging childbirth, exploring resources, reforming systems, and strengthening military capabilities.
He wanted Asgard to become the most powerful civilization in the universe.
In this process, Asgard itself will inevitably undergo a complete transformation.
The Asgard he envisions for the future will be fundamentally different from the Asgard of Odin's time, or even from the Asgard he first took over.
Asgard in the past was undoubtedly powerful.
Thanks to the Aesir's unique bloodline, long lifespan, and the prestige and resources accumulated by Odin in his conquest of the Nine Realms, it stands tall among the powerful races of the universe and is the undisputed ruler of the Nine Realms.
The Golden Palace is magnificent, the Hall of Heroes is immortal, and the Rainbow Bridge connects the stars. Its power and glory once made countless civilizations tremble.
But beneath this power lies the stagnation of civilization.
The Asgardians, especially the traditional divine nobles and warriors, rely too heavily on their innate divine power, long lifespans, and ancient artifacts and martial arts techniques.
They revere individual bravery and honor duels, and are accustomed to crushing enemies with absolute power. However, they also neglect to delve into the essence of power, innovate combat techniques, and pursue more efficient ways of using power.
Their long lives give them time to accumulate experience and strength, but they are also prone to arrogance and conservatism, lacking the motivation to forge ahead.
On the technology tree, they discovered stellar energy engines and devastating strategic weapons, yet in all aspects of life, production, and social organization, they maintained a form almost akin to a medieval feudal kingdom, relying on the convenience of divine power.
For thousands of years, Odin's rule brought peace and order, but it also solidified the structure of Asgard.
In long periods of peace, it is inevitable to become complacent.
"Great strength and long lifespan are both a blessing and a shackle."
Odin maintained the operation of this vast divine realm with his supreme prestige and iron fist, but many deep-seated problems, perhaps even Odin himself, were unable or powerless to completely eradicate due to the limitations of his time and path dependence.
Even after it came into his hands, it remained the same, and even now, not much has changed.
After all, in Loki's eyes, he was powerful enough to protect Asgard and didn't need to care about the progress of other civilizations.
So some changes were made, but not many.
Now, with the fundamental enhancement brought by "Asgard Enhancement +1", Loki is determined to lead Asgard through a revolution.
What he wants to change is not just military strength or resource reserves, but the spirit and development model of the entire civilization.
He will personally drive this transformation, shaping Asgard into a truly eternal divine realm standing at the pinnacle of cosmic civilization.
This is how he surpassed Odin and proved himself not only as a "qualified successor" but also as a "great pioneer".
Meanwhile, everyone in the chat group also learned about Loki's reward.
An ordinary group admin: "A comprehensive enhancement of Asgard? Is it a reward for the civilization itself?"
An ordinary group admin: "Why are you only arriving now?"
An ordinary group owner: "You're not only starting to really want to develop Asgard now, are you?"
Su Yunqing looked at the reward and said.
The reward itself is certainly not a problem, but Su Yunqing believes that this reward could have appeared much earlier.
I hadn't thought about it before, but now that I've seen it, I realize that this reward is actually better than simply strengthening authority and bloodline.
why?
Because Asgard has been enhanced, Loki, as the ruler of Asgard, will also be enhanced.
Although Loki obtained his position as the ruler of Asgard by strengthening Odin's bloodline, he did so more than once.
If he truly prioritized Asgard, then the reward for his last time-traveling mission should have been related to Asgard.
So even though Loki became the king of Asgard, his first thought was still himself.
The Great King of Asgard: "."
The Great King of Asgard: "You've been a bit too verbose."
Loki was surprised that Su Yunqing was able to analyze this point so quickly.
This guy always displays extraordinary thinking abilities when it comes to mundane things.
An ordinary group admin: "Then it seems I was right."
The ordinary group owner said, "But it's normal, considering you haven't been king for very long."
An ordinary group admin: "It's not too late to realize it now."
After seeing Loki's words, Su Yunqing was certain that her guess was correct.
But that's normal.
Who can blame Loki for not having been king for very long?
No king, having just ascended the throne, has his mind already set on civilization itself.
It's already good that he's realized this now.
An ordinary group admin: "By the way, did you buy that power of Master Luo Hao? A pipe dream?"
Su Yunqing then changed the subject, mentioning the powers of the cult leader Luo Hao.
The phrase "a dream of wealth and glory" originates from the ancient Roman goddess of the earth, who was later transformed into the power of Saturn, the god of agriculture and time.
It was usurped after Luo Hao murdered him.
The effect is strategic: when a power holder is present in a certain region, the human civilization and technology in that region will receive a "feng shui" blessing that leads to rapid development.
Specifically, this manifests as: bustling markets, thriving commerce, bountiful harvests, rapid development of industry and commerce, increased happiness among urban residents, and a more stable social order.
In the game, it is undoubtedly the ultimate buff aura, capable of accelerating the economic, technological, and social prosperity of a civilization or city in all aspects.
Although the effects of power inevitably have an upper limit, its contribution to the development of civilization is undoubtedly enormous and immediately apparent.
An ordinary group owner said: "You know the effects of power. If used to develop civilization, the effect can be described as enormous."
An ordinary group owner said: "Even if Asgard's level of civilization is too high, the effect will be smaller, but it can still be enhanced through the enhancement function."
An ordinary group admin said, "I think you should buy one."
Loki doesn't lack points now, so spending some to strengthen [A Dream of Yellow Millet] is still worthwhile in Su Yunqing's opinion.
For Loki, Su Yunqing's suggestion was exactly what he wanted.
He is currently ambitiously pushing for a comprehensive reform and rapid development of Asgard, and the authority of the High Priestess of Asgard is indeed suitable.
Although the price wasn't cheap, amounting to tens of millions of points, he actually hoped the price would be higher for this kind of civilized power.
A high price means a strong effect.
If it could be redeemed for just a few million points, he would have to doubt the effectiveness of the [Dream of the Yellow Millet].
Without the slightest hesitation, Loki immediately brought up the chat group shop interface, searched for the power of "A Dream of Yellow Millet," and then redeemed it.
The Great King of Asgard: "It has been redeemed."
Left Wing of the Divine Guardian: "Just a reminder, the coverage of [A Dream of Yellow Millet] is limited to the influence of its own civilization."
Holy Guardian Left Wing: "Any civilization that submits to your civilization can enjoy the effects of [A Dream of Yellow Millet]."
"Angel Yan said in the chat group."
An ordinary group admin asked: "Did they also purchase Angel Civilization?"
Su Yunqing asked curiously after seeing Angel Yan's words.
Holy Guardian Left Wing: "Of course we bought it. Even for angels, the power to promote the positive development of civilization is something they cannot refuse."
Angel Yan nodded.
As the most powerful civilization in the known universe, the angels pursue justice and order, guiding and protecting numerous civilizations.
Powers like "The Dream of Yellow Millet," which can fundamentally promote the prosperity, stability, and development of civilization, are of even greater value and significance to angels than many powerful abilities.
It perfectly aligns with the angel's philosophy of "guiding civilization towards good and promoting orderly development".
Therefore, after reading the memory copy of "Godslayer" and learning about the existence of this power, Queen Keisha and the Heavenly King did not hesitate to let her purchase it.
An ordinary group admin: "So how was the result?"
Su Yunqing pressed for details, expressing her curiosity about the practical application of this "farming-style power."
Holy Guardian Left Wing: "I can only say that the effect is better than you imagined."
Angel Yan did not describe it in detail, but this affirmation already speaks volumes.
that's the truth.
For the primitive tribes under the Angel Civilization who were still in the Stone Age and eating raw meat, they completed the leap to agricultural civilization and even early bronze civilization in less than a year without any external help.
Crop yields surged, animal domestication accelerated, toolmaking technology advanced rapidly, social structures became increasingly complex, and writing, calendar systems, early religions, and art began to emerge.
An evolutionary process that normally takes hundreds or even thousands of years has been compressed into an incredibly short period of time.
For those pre-nuclear civilizations rife with internal strife, the prosperity and stability brought by "A Dream of Yellow Millet" act as a powerful "tranquilizer of order."
The war was eased or even quelled due to a sudden relative abundance of resources and improved livelihoods; economic recovery brought employment and hope, reducing factors of instability.
The implicit improvement in overall social "luck" and "public security" has greatly reduced the difficulty of rebuilding order and establishing an effective "civilized community".
Even the Angelic Civilization benefits from this all-encompassing aura of "prosperity and stability".
Scientific inspiration is more easily generated, the efficiency of technology transformation is improved, resource allocation is smoother, and the centripetal force and output capacity of subordinate civilizations are enhanced.
They've even upgraded [A Dream of Yellow Millet] by +2.
