Run Away, This Civilization Is Cheating!

Chapter 269: Chapter 258: Divines Are Not Much After All!_2

Is this a Spiritual Ability User?

No, this is a God!

A real God! Even the most powerful Spiritual Ability Users mentioned in the legends, those with the so-called Divine Third Layer Talent, the so-called Fourth Stage! They are far inferior to the power of this gigantic hand!

“What in the universe has happened!”

It was only after everything had calmed down and he found that he could move again that Yade remained stiff, stunned, his entire brain overwhelmed by the scene he had just witnessed, losing the ability to think.

It wasn’t just him; all the other Spiritual Ability Users present felt the same.

They might not have all witnessed that scene, but they all felt the inability to move, as well as the extraction of their Spiritual Energy!

Those who had witnessed, like the fish and lizard Spiritual Ability Users, were shivering uncontrollably, their eyes nearly bulging out of their sockets.

A long, long time passed without anyone making a sound!

Until, an incredibly excited voice, even trembling with excitement, came through the city’s broadcast from Prince Bent.

“Citizens of Zacharias Planet, you are now safe. The great Human Emperor has personally taken action, saving the entire planet, saving us all…”

The rest of the speech was all praise for the great Human Emperor!

But what Yade and others could remember was only one sentence!

——Human Emperor!

The giant hand from just now, everything that had happened, it all came from the Emperor of Human Civilization!

“Even gods are no match!” Yade muttered, his eyes suddenly blazing with intensity as he fiercely turned to everyone, “Did you record it? Did you get all of that just now on tape?”

The others, as if waking from a dream, hurriedly went to check various devices.

But there was nothing.

Nothing at all!

What Shen Hao had released in that moment was only the minds of the people; the rest of the space was essentially frozen.

This was the manifestation of Extraordinary Rules, the very essence of Extraordinary power!

Perhaps some devices and Equipment could still record, but clearly, the Extraordinary Level of this world was not enough to do so.

However, not having recorded anything substantial didn’t discourage Yade and the others.

On the contrary, as they gradually recovered from that overwhelmingly shocking emotion, they became incredibly excited!

“Human Civilization! Human Civilization!” Yade even clenched his fists and roared, “This is an opportunity, our opportunity!”

Such a powerful civilization, such a formidable existence, could not possibly emerge without making a sound.

The only reason he could think of was that this civilization had, in the past, never stepped into the mainstream society of the universe!

Perhaps out of disdain, perhaps out of unwillingness, but regardless of the reason, they had now stepped out!

That signified immense opportunities and benefits!

One need not even consider the other aspects of Human Civilization’s strength; just the Human Emperor alone was enough to shake the entire universe!

And now, at a time when no one else had made contact, they, representing the Company Alliance, would make the very first contact!

The significance and benefits of this, not to mention just the Yodora Civilization’s failed investment, even if the losses had been tenfold worse, would be enough for them to recover!

With a shared understanding, everyone’s hearts were ablaze with excitement!

And this was actually Shen Hao’s intention.

The reason he did not freeze their thoughts was precisely to use this rare opportunity to demonstrate the mighty power of the entire Human Civilization!

Even if the Trial remained difficult, even if Human Civilization’s actual strength was not that great, Human Civilization’s biggest trump card held power that surpassed civilization levels!

That trump card was Shen Hao himself! @@novelbin@@

Shen Hao’s confidence in himself still abounded!

He was certain.

Even if among the other eight civilizations participating in the Trial, there were Chosen Ones who had reached the Fourth Stage, their strength might not be greater than his own!

Unless they too possessed Mythical Talent.

But Mythical Talents are not so easily found.

“This deterrence should be enough,” Shen Hao reviewed the plan and paid special attention to the reactions of the strongest Spiritual Ability Users on the planet before withdrawing his gaze.

Actually, it might have been more prudent to step into the Fourth Stage and then come forward openly.

But that would take too long.

Human Civilization needs to increase its strength at the fastest speed!

Apart from points, indigenous civilizations are the best sources of interest!

“The next planet!” Shen Hao descended upon another planet.

The Mother Planets of the Yodora life forms are relatively close to each other; some of them don’t even require the transportation of soldiers, as they can leverage the power of the warriors just the same.

As for the farther Mother Planets, a slower approach isn’t an issue.

So, with Shen Hao personally taking action, in just half a day, the crisis of the Yodora was resolved!

In total, forty-two trillion points were gained!

Only eight trillion points away from unlocking the Level 27 Mall.

And even so, such a massive amount boosted the performance value of Human Civilization greatly!

It soared directly to the first rank of civilization!

Together with Shen Hao’s performance value, it also occupied the first place among the Chosen Ones’ values!

Although it didn’t exceed the second place by much, and though it is very possible that most civilizations simply haven’t encountered such events rather than lacking the ability to gain points on a large scale.

Regardless, this occasion still made Human Civilization stand out among the rest of the Trial Civilizations.

It will inevitably attract the attention of countless Chosen Ones.

Besides, the “Refining Spirit Pot,” a Red Mythical-level Equipment, also brought in a huge harvest.

As Red Mythical-level Equipment, even the Spiritual Energy polluted and corroded by the Ancient God Rank can be refined into pure Spiritual Liquid!

This Spiritual Liquid is no simple matter.

It’s virtually an all-purpose resource.

Whether it’s used for cultivating Extraordinary plants, feeding Extraordinary livestock, or for Cultivation, it can play a tremendous role in all areas.

The amount of Spiritual Liquid obtained this time far exceeds the amount refined from “defective goods” over the past five and a half years.

One can only say that trials are dangerous, but the benefits gained from them far surpass those obtained during rest periods.

Moreover, there’s another gain.

Besides the entire Yodora Kingdom becoming a force of Human Civilization, Human Civilization has also opened a pathway to the indigenous civilizations.

After the crisis in the Yodora Kingdom was resolved, envoys from the Company Alliance had already respectfully submitted their requests for diplomacy.

Shen Hao took this quite seriously.

For this, a meeting was convened on purpose.

“The Company Alliance is an interest collective that chases only profits,” Shen Hao said while looking at the gathered intelligence during the meeting, “They only sent a high-level manager from a Level 9 Company as an envoy, which shows that they are not fully convinced of our strength and are somewhat skeptical.”

Yes, this is something that everyone can see.

And it makes sense.

While Shen Hao showed unparalleled power that day, he ultimately left no written evidence behind.

The only proof is the testimony of the participants.

At most, there are also some traces left within the Kingdom of Yodora.

In such a case, it’s entirely possible that everything was just an Illusion Technique.

And this is precisely what Shen Hao intentionally did.

Human Civilization needed to make a splash but not too big of one at once.

Too big, and the benefits might not be digestible in a short time while the risks would continuously increase, making it not worth the cost.

At least, the current level is just right.

“We need to create a suitable identity background to meet with envoys from the Company Alliance and other indigenous civilizations,” somebody officially proposed, “It needs to be mysterious enough, powerful enough, and also be able to explain what we need and what we lack. I have a suggestion; maybe we can start with the cycle of civilization’s rise and fall in this universe over tens of thousands of years.”
