Chapter 216: Earth-shaking Transformation, Hope Shelter

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The earth trembled!

Rumbled!

After the name “Hope Plains” was shouted out, the ground beneath their feet seemed to form a connection with the dog head in the sky, causing tremors and oscillations in their surroundings.

At the same time, the shape of the dog head completely condensed in the sky, as if it was communicating with heaven and earth. Su Mo’s vision suddenly went dark.

When he opened his eyes again, he had already arrived in another space!

“This…this is a bird’s eye view of the wasteland?!”

Similar to when he had entered the space with the first-level resource modification card previously, a small light suddenly appeared in the endless darkness.

When Su Mo walked over to the bright spot, he suddenly found himself in a long corridor.

“It’s the Shifting Skies and Still Earth Model! The Doomsday Wasteland is exactly the same as the Shifting Skies and Still Earth Model from ancient Chinese philosophy and cosmology!”

By using the Mountain and Sea Painting Scroll card, Su Mo had temporarily gained a bird’s eye view of his current surroundings, which surprisingly aligned with the ancient Chinese belief of heaven being a dome covering the square earth.

Except for a small part of the map, which contained lush greenery and was covered in vegetation, most of the terrain seemed to be gray-white land that had seemingly been exposed to terrifying amounts of radiation. Even from his perspective, it was difficult to locate any bodies of water on the map.

The next second, just as Su Mo was about to take a more detailed look, a torrent of information rushed out from the map and was transmitted into Su Mo’s mind.

“Such huge swath of land only occupies one-tenth of the wasteland continent. Just within this one-tenth of the continent, countless humans and foreign creatures were distributed.”

“The transformation is limited to this one-tenth of the wasteland continent. With this amount, I can create a river that runs through the north and the south.”

“Alternatively, I can also choose to create an underground river and make a well that may be several million kilometers deep, storing trillions of tons of fresh water.”

“There is only one chance given the limited energy. However, creating a river does not preclude me from creating the surrounding mountains as well.”

His memory now contained general information about the map in front of him, as well as how to use the special ability to create the rivers and mountains.

After a while, Su Mo finished digesting all the information, and the map began to unfold slowly.

The transformation method was not difficult. Based on his newfound information, the total original total energy of this card was 10000 points. After deducting the energy absorbed by the Abyssal Dragon for advancement, there were still 9980 points remaining!

Each action would consume a corresponding number of points. The more drastic the modification, the more points consumed.

As for the overall direction and method of transformation, this would naturally be decided by Su Mo!

Su Mo stretched out his hands. As if sensing Su Mo’s thoughts, the map’s perspective changed naturally and depicted the sky above Hope Plains.

Here, from an odd top-down perspective, Su Mo could see himself and Zhong Qingshu, frozen in time.

With just a thought, everything within a hundred miles would appear in his mind naturally.

As Su Mo tried to observe things further away, he found that the energy points began to be consumed rapidly, and hurriedly retracted his gaze.

“It seems that points are not required to scan locations I have previously explored, but when I exceed those parameters, each square kilometer requires a point to scan!”

Just from that slight observation, hundreds of points on the panel had disappeared. On the upside, Su Mo managed to memorize the surrounding 300 kilometers of terrain.

“How fascinating, this space is more like a four-dimensional space. Standing here, I can control time and space!”

Poking the ground with his finger and looking at the sunken ground beneath it, Su Mo smiled and played around.

The time allocated for modification was three hours. Looking at the terrain below, Su Mo did not rush and started to build at a leisurely pace!

First of all, Su Mo focused on the topography of Hope Plains. To create a proper foundation, he gently compacted and flattened the uneven surfaces nearby.

At the same time, he solidified and raised the foundation under the two wooden houses by mixing some stones into the soil.

The raised foundation covered an area of 50 square kilometers, occupying a large portion of ​the Hope Plains.

The base of dozens of players in the area were all dug out by Su Mo, and neatly placed a distance away, congregating them into a small gathering spot.

Within the scope of the base foundation layer, as soil and rocks from other places were moved in, the terrain started transforming into something visibly strange.

As this place had been created out of thin air, it seemed incompatible with its surrounding area.

“The 40-meter-high base foundation has been completed, so the next step is to transform the surrounding environment.”

Su Mo increased the terrain’s height by 40 meters, so even if it encountered a flood, it would not pose a problem to the shelter.

Su Mo raised the three sides of the surrounding terrain vertically. As he focused his thoughts, three steep mountains rose from the ground to enclose the surrounding terrain.

These three mountains were impassable, with little to no room to set foot on.

On the one remaining side, Su Mo created a gentle mountain slope.

Other than a pathway that went straight through the middle of the mountain slope, there was no other way to reach the raised base foundation.

“Now that the base foundation and mountains have been formed, next up is water!”

Regarding the formation of water bodies and channels, Su Mo had already previously thought through some ideas, so he did not hesitate too much. A pit that was to be the wellhead appeared, measuring about one mu in diameter.

At the periphery of the pit, there was an approximately one-meter long opening, toward which four winding rivers ran through from within a 20-square-kilometer radius.

After reconnecting the ends of the rivers to the wellhead, Su Mo took some time to admire the partially formed masterpiece before him. Then, he began the final process of refining his transformation.

He flattened unnecessary terrain, created undulations in places where there should be ups and downs, and used some energy to set up some natural stone barriers.

In the vicinity of the two wooden houses, he used his hands to clear ten mu of land.

Of course, Su Mo had not forgotten the importance of the warehouse.

On the fifty-square-kilometer base foundation, he create a stone mountain that housed an interconnected cave network, which would serve as a warehouse.

The Mountain and Sea Painting Scroll card could form mountains and rivers and, despite Su Mo’s lavish transformations, it only consumed 700 energy points after completion.

“There are more than nine thousand points left. All these points will be turned into water sources!”

Focusing his gaze on the one-mu pit, Su Mo clenched his right fist and channeled all the card’s energy in an instant.

Then the world became dark again. When Su Mo opened his eyes, he had already returned to the world in the ruins of time.

In the sky, the sun had jumped out again.

It was as if the image of the dog’s head that appeared from before was all an illusion, coming and going in an instant.

“What…what happened just now!”

The transformation had not yet started. After experiencing the dramatic changes in the world, Zhong Qingshu looked nervous and hurriedly ran behind Su Mo, ready to flee with Su Mo at any time!

“I just made a wish. I wished for Zhong Qingshu’s dream to come true!”

Seeing Su Mo’s smirk, Zhong Qingshu looked embarrassed. She was just about to refute his words but, before she could say anything, the ground underneath her feet suddenly began to vibrate wildly.

The earthquake increased in intensity from level three to level eight or nine in just a few seconds.

Except for the plains where the two were standing, other places seemed to be undergoing heaven’s judgment, shaking and vibrating visibly.

Countless cracks on the ground formed, before being forcibly restructured and reshaped by a mysterious power.

Holding the steady Su Mo tightly, Zhong Qingshu’s eyes were full of shock and confusion!

Before her very eyes, the foundation on which the wooden houses were built began to rise up naturally.

One meter, two meters…

Soon it became difficult to see the top from the ground below, and mountains began to spring up again around the surrounding terrain.

These mountains closely surrounded the rising plains, like loyal guards guarding the three cardinal directions around the plains.

This change was even more shocking than what one could find in movie and TV scenes.

Gurgle, gurgle…

Zhong Qingshu swallowed her saliva fiercely, looking at Su Mo with disbelief and a complicated expression on her face.

She was searching for a similarly shocked expression on his face, or at least a semblance of confusion or bewilderment.

However… She could find no such thing!

Su Mo’s expression was as calm as a cucumber!

It was as if everything that was happening in front of him was unable to sway his cool demeanor even the slightest bit.

“This… is your doing?”

“No, this is what you wished for. I’m just helping you to realize it.”

“Let’s go. Get on and I’ll show you around!”

Smiling, Su Mo looked at the terrain in front of him that had been completely transformed by him. As the creator of this scene, he felt a strong sense of omnipotence in his heart.

If he could reuse the Mountain and Sea Painting Scroll card every time he entered the ruins of time then, after a few times, this wasteland continent would surely undergo a terrifying transformation.

By then, this place would no longer be a wasteland full of despair, but another home full of hope.

Zhong Qingshu was obediently sitting on the backseat of the motorcycle, hugging Su Mo even tighter, and the look of dependence on her face became even more obvious.

With such power, he could realize all sorts of unrealistic dreams with a wave of his hands.

No girl could refuse such a romantic dream, even Zhong Qingshu!

As he rode the motorcycle and observed the surrounding impassable terrain around him, Su Mo became even more satisfied.

Taking a few turns on the self-created mountain road, Su Mo quickly arrived at the top of the raised plains without much effort.

Once he reached Hope Plains above, the surrounding 50 square kilometers of terrain suddenly turned smooth.

As he glanced around, he could see the cave warehouse in the distance, and the rivers winding across the ground.

“Wow, we have a river now. We have enough water!”

Su Mo parked the motorcycle by the river, watching as Zhong Qingshu dashed off the vehicle with surprise etched on her face. She rushed into the river, jumping happily, Su Mo was also full of emotion.

He had not even seen a river in the main world since being transported over from Earth. He hadn’t even seen a river as clear as the one before him on Earth.

This was a real natural river, a river of life that had not been polluted in any way since it was born out of the void.

With it in his possession, before the blizzard disaster arrived, he would have ample water supply to trade for resources.

The materials and resources that billions of people could gather would result in a terrifying harvest that he could not fully imagine!

“Let’s go to the shelter and check out the surrounding environment!”

The depth of the four small rivers on Hope Plains, were half a meter, one meter, two meters, and five meters respectively.

Walking along the half-meter deep river where Zhong Qingshu was currently located, he could see the two small wooden houses that were standing next to each other.

Behind the wooden houses was a wide and fertile plain, which had been cleared and tilled in advance by Su Mo, ready for sowing at any time.

In front of the wooden houses, there was a small bare open space that had been set aside to plant saplings.

Seeing the scene before him, even Su Mo fell in love with it at first sight!

“Compared with the Underground Shelter, the place here provides more peace of mind. It is a powerful feeling brought about by having invincible strength!”

The theme of the Underground Shelter was “living”, while the theme of the Hope shelter was “enjoyment”.

Looking at the excited Zhong Qingshu he gestured to her to enjoy the surrounding area first, and then he rode over to the water source.

The source of the freshwater was behind the cave warehouse, bound by a powerful force that did not conform to the rules of physics.

The water here was no longer pure blue in color, looking instead like a terrifying black abyss.

Beneath this, Su Mo had put in a full nine thousand energy points from the Mountain and Sea Painting Scroll card.

As for exactly how many water sources were produced by these energy points, even Su Mo would never know.

However, he at least knew that it would not be a problem to supply everyone in the doomsday world for decades, if not hundreds of years.

“In the real world, because of the blizzard disaster, people no longer lack water. Even if they possess so much fresh water, they can’t sell them for a good price.”

“But in the ruins of time, at this point in time where everyone has just been transported over here for two days, it is possible for the name Su Mo to resound through the wasteland once more!”

Sitting cross-legged beside the water source, Su Mo directly opened the trading panel with a smile on his face. He started performing a series of actions that he would have only dreamt of previously!
