Run Away, This Civilization Is Cheating!

Chapter 274: Chapter 262: Human Civilization is Where Hope Lies!

For Roddy, who had only just learned of the impending Universe Apocalypse, his mind was entirely consumed by the thought of it.

Anyone aware of such a vast catastrophe would find it hard to ignore.

The higher the position one held, the more this held true.

However, the Company Alliance could not provide him with more intelligence, and even Director Heather had many uncertainties.

Since Human Civilization was willing to provide intelligence, how could Roddy not desire it?

The unknown is always the greatest fear, and partial knowledge even more so!

Facing Roddy’s undisguised eagerness, Edo’s heart also felt slightly moved.

As outsiders, their understanding of the Universe Apocalypse should not have surpassed that of the natives.

However, the existence of the President made this impossibility a possibility.

It was almost as if they were cheating.

At the moment, it was merely the simplest use of this informational advantage.

Edo recalled the orders he had received and said with a solemn expression, “In this apocalypse, the most dangerous are the strong, the Spiritual Ability Users. The more powerful, the more dangerous.”

Just this sentence made Roddy’s pupils violently constrict.

The stronger, the more dangerous?

His heart couldn’t help but beat faster, and he stared intently at Edo before him as if in disbelief.

Just a short while ago, he had been rejoicing over his own power!

He had even believed that, as a strong person, he had a greater chance of surviving the apocalypse than the common masses.

But could this be the outcome?

“Are you sure?” Roddy’s voice was somewhat hoarse.

“Since it’s a sincere offer, of course, it can be verified,” Edo said calmly, “The destruction of the Life Empire started from the high-level personnels. The madness of the Emperor of the Life Empire is a well-known fact. As for the rest, a simple inquiry will make it clear. You must know, the root of the apocalypse lies in the Dimension Space, and Spiritual Ability Users are the closest to the Dimension Space. The stronger they are, the closer they get.”

Exactly!

Although it had not yet been verified, Roddy was already convinced by the logic presented.

At this moment, his face, highly similar to that of a human, was completely drained of color.

He even thought of many more reasons, becoming somewhat enlightened.

“No wonder there aren’t many powerful Spiritual Ability Users among you.” Roddy had already found the explanation for Human Civilization, murmuring, “No wonder there are only so few of you, no wonder you hide yourselves, no wonder you do not have much Spiritual Power Technology…”

Everything became clear.

All the misunderstandings during their prior negotiation now seemed obvious.

For instance, the strength of Human Civilization did not seem so formidable, apart from that mysterious Emperor, not even a Spiritual Ability User who had reached the Extraordinary Fourth Stage could be seen.

Or the technology of Human Civilization, completely divorced from Spiritual Power.

Barely any Spiritual Power Technology was visible.

Or the power that was clearly distinct from general Spiritual Ability Users in the warriors of Human Civilization, which seemed to be a unique evolved power!

The more Roddy thought, the brighter his eyes became. The shock of knowing the secret gradually filled with the hope laid before him.

“Does your side already possess a solution to this problem?” Roddy couldn’t resist asking. @@novelbin@@

“Indeed.” Edo admitted without hesitation.

All at once, Roddy’s heart thudded hard again.

Being of such a high position and capability, he was naturally not a foolish man.

Therefore, he understood that the “secret” Human Civilization had revealed was also a display of their confidence.

But what of it?

For Roddy, who was aware of the Universe Apocalypse and unwilling to succumb to death, nothing was more important than the hope of surviving the apocalypse!

Thus, Roddy made no attempt to conceal his desire, even earnestly saying, “Please tell me, no, please help me, whatever the cost, I am able to pay it!”

To place the initiative in another’s hands might seem contrary to business rules, but wasn’t this a demonstration of his value, showing his attitude?

Such candid and resolute words instead made Edo respect him more.

There was no need to continue playing coy.

“Actually, you only need to spend more time with us to understand,” Edo said with a sense of pride, “We have spent a long time and great efforts and have finally embarked on a path that not only diverges from the Spiritual Power System but is also stronger than it.”

He lifted his hand, where the halo of Spiritual Power emerged.

Yes, Edo was following the Cultivation Path.

His choice of the Cultivation Path over the Magic Road was initially just to get closer to the President, as the President was Eastern, reflecting his sharp business acumen.

And indeed, it had had a certain effect.

In today’s Human Civilization, as long as one could successfully navigate the Cultivation Path, it was indeed somewhat better than magic.

At this moment, Roddy was staring intently at the Spiritual Power in Edo’s hand.

He had seen this power more than once since arriving in Human Civilization.

After all, Edo’s Life Level was one tier lower than his.

Naturally, it could not hide from his Perception.

But now, observing it up close, the shock in Roddy’s heart was unparalleled.

In the palm of Edo’s hand, that mass of Spiritual Power was continuously transforming in a deeply Mystical manner, with the Five Elements generating and overcoming each other, divided into Yin and Yang.

As a Mythical Skill, its profundity was naturally immense.

Roddy could hardly understand much of it, but it was precisely because he did not understand that he was greatly astounded.
