As he still had some time before he could create the new add-on, instead of simply exiting his world and occupying that time with doing unimportant stuff, Axel decided that he would instead use that time to observe the people inside his world.
Since he had started to build his world, he hadn't spent a lot of time looking at it, and that could create problems for its development because, even though Heaven's information was pretty useful, if he wasn't knowledgeable enough about how things worked inside it, there could be a difference between what he decided could be good for his world and what truly was good for it, which could make him waste resources on unnecessary things.
Like that, he quickly moved around his world and began to spy on the different people inside it.
His first destination was the Esvert Village, which was located on grassland by the side of an enormous lake. He began to observe the lives of those that lived there with curiosity. The place looked similar to the cities described in history books about the Middle Ages, with the main difference being that everything looked pretty organized and planned.
In the morning, kids would leave their homes to go to school, where they would be taught reading, writing, and some basic mathematics. While it didn't look very difficult, it surprised Axel that they would use so many resources on something that wouldn't get the direct benefits, but after observing for some more time, he understood why this was happening.
Those that learned faster and had more talent were quickly selected and separated from the others to start training on their cultivation as early as possible. When most of those "selected" graduated, they would begin to investigate something that they would be interested in, and if they managed to make some discovery, they would be rewarded depending on the importance of their finding.
After looking at them for a while, he decided to change between villages and went to the Guburg Village, which was situated on the side of a mountain.
With just one glance, Axel immediately saw the difference between each village. The Guburg Village was much more primitive than the Esvert Village, not only because the houses were mainly made of wood and straw, while those of the Esverts were mostly made of stone, but also because their village was pretty messy as if everyone built wherever they wanted without following a previous plan.
This caused the village to become a little labyrinth, where you would probably need to surround the city to reach the other side of it instead of going through the middle.
Live was also pretty different. People lived a carefree life, where those that were interested in cultivation would protect the village by bringing food, while those that didn't care about it would aid the others in whatever they could do, from building new structures to cooking the food hunted by the cultivators.
Those with a higher strength ruled over the others easily, and from what he had seen, it seemed like those with a higher position in the village would get tattoos on their bodies, and with a bigger tattoo would come a higher social status.
Finally, the Yuoko Village looked like something intermediate between the other two.
While most of the buildings were made of wood and straw, the most important ones were also made of stone, making them more durable than the others. People here sustained themselves mainly with the crops that they grew on their fields and with the meat that they got from hunting.
One of the few things that caught Axel's attention was the few dojos around the village, where anyone could go and learn the basics of cultivation and martial arts. This way, anyone interested in becoming stronger could go and train in their free time, and if they were capable enough, they could even get adopted by one of the big cultivation families in the village, from where they would get a better status in the village and the resources and techniques necessary to continue with their training.
Other than the three main villages, Axel also found that a few extra villages were being constructed around the new unified landmass, which worked as an outpost of one or more of the main villages to make it easier to obtain the resources that were spread all around the land.
Axel continued watching his world, interested in the lives of the different individuals inside it and how the different villages were interacting with each other. After an undefined amount of time, Heaven's voice suddenly spoke.
"The energy necessary to create the new add-on is ready," Heaven said.
"Already? These minutes have flown by. " Axel said, surprised. "How much time has passed in the real world since I started watching my world?"
"At least thirty minutes," Heaven replied.
"What? That much? I mean, time in the real world runs slower than here, so I have been looking at my world for weeks, if not months. " Axel thought without believing himself."Time surely flies when you are a god."
After that, he changed the image in front of him so his world's core would appear, and after a quick look at it, he decided that it was time to create his new add-on.
"Let's start then."
Hey guys, just letting you know that I decided to participate in the Royal Road's Writathon. For those that don't know what I'm talking about, it basically means that until the fifth of May, I will be writing a lot, and by a lot, I mean A LOT. I don't know if I'm going to be able to finish the challenge as I don't usually have that much time to write and I want to make sure that everything is as good as possible when I publish it here, but I will try my best. In summary, you can expect more content in April than usual.
With that said, I hope you liked the chapter and that you have a nice weekend.
See you around.
