Run Away, This Civilization Is Cheating!

Chapter 275: Chapter 262: Human Civilization is Where Hope Lies! _2

You should know, he was a powerhouse who had reached the pinnacle of the Third Stage!

The human official before him, however, wasn’t even at the top of the Second Stage!

Moreover, as a high-level member of the Company Alliance, he commanded various technologies and his understanding of Spiritual Energy was by no means inferior to some high-level researchers.

But at this moment, the mere cluster of variant “Spiritual Energy” was beyond his comprehension.

No, it couldn’t even be called Spiritual Energy anymore!

At this moment, Roddy truly believed in the identity of Human Civilization, and likewise, in humanity’s trump card! @@novelbin@@

Only a civilization that had survived from the previous era and witnessed the cosmic apocalypse would cast aside the easily attainable Spiritual Energy in search of something greater, more mystical, and more powerful!

This must necessarily be the reason they chose to hide themselves, even if it meant remaining weak in the long world!

And, they may very well have succeeded!

“Can this power prevent the strong from being eroded?” Roddy asked eagerly, looking at the Spiritual Power in Edo’s hands, already feeling a deep yearning.

Not just because of the cosmic apocalypse, but also because, the more he saw this power, the more it seemed to be stronger than Spiritual Energy!

Spiritual Energy did not have such mystical and complex variations.

“Yes, you’re right,” Edo said directly, squinting his eyes and grinning, “We call it ‘Spiritual Power.’ It is unaffected by the changes in Spiritual Energy. You must understand, the apocalyptic event is so difficult to counter precisely because it begins with the collapse of the strong. Being able to protect the strong, protect the Legion, that is the foundation of countering the apocalypse.”

“Absolutely, absolutely—” Roddy’s yearning grew more profound, wishing he could grasp this power immediately.

But at that moment, Edo withdrew the Spiritual Power from his hand and said straightforwardly: “However, for those who have already become Spiritual Ability Users, transformation is not easy, and it can even be said to be extremely difficult. Even among us, only this generation has truly mastered this power.”

This was, of course, the truth.

It was also a truth that was difficult to conceal.

The earliest Cultivators had only practiced for about six and a half years.

Of course, to Roddy’s ears, this was interpreted as “Human Civilization has abandoned its past.”

This was undoubtedly another explanation for everything before him.

What he saw was the rebirth of Human Civilization, built on this new power!

“I understand it’s naturally not easy,” Roddy said somewhat dejectedly, but still not giving up, “But, is there really no possibility at all?”

“Not necessarily,” Edo said with a laugh, shaking his head, “There is just a simpler way, even for Spiritual Ability Users to evade the erosion of Spiritual Energy, but the number of methods is limited.”

“What is the method?” Roddy pressed on quickly.

However, Edo seemed not prepared to continue speaking.

He simply rose to his feet with a smile, saying, “Well, there will be plenty of opportunities to learn in the future. Regarding the apocalypse, it’s not just that one sentence. It’s just that this one line should already be known to your high-level officials, but we have detailed information on the erosion of high-ranking Spiritual Ability Users, some of which we can share with you.”

The data in the Basic Information Library naturally consisted of more than just some simple images and basic information.

There was some fairly detailed intelligence.

Data on the erosion of high-ranking Spiritual Ability Users was one of them.

The importance of such data to indigenous civilizations was self-evident.

In the entire Universe, only they possessed high-level Spiritual Ability Users.

As for Human Civilization, realizing the dangers of Spiritual Energy, they would naturally not rashly promote such power.

No matter how tempting the Spiritual Ability Talent seemed, it was unacceptable, unless there was absolute certainty in preventing erosion.

And this part of the data was the most useful bait.

Indeed, even though Roddy realized that Human Civilization was “data baiting,” after obtaining some of the data, he was eager to get back to the urgent communication room and share the information he had learned with Director Heather.

Because he knew that he alone did not have the privilege of being treated specially by Human Civilization. That line of talk was, after all, not so much for him, as it was for the Company Alliance behind him.

“A power completely different from Spiritual Energy, and one that won’t be eroded, won’t transform into Dimensional Creatures, or drive one into madness?” Director Heather’s reaction was much bigger than he had anticipated, even adding several premises to describe it.

After receiving Roddy’s confirmation, even through the screen, one could feel Director Heather’s excitement.

It was only natural.

Director Heather was a bona fide Fourth Stage Spiritual Ability User!

In the hearts of most people, as powerful as a God.

Yet, this very power had become a death knell in the end-of-days.

Roddy, who had once been very eager for the kind of power that Director Heather possessed, now felt relieved at his own weakness.

“I will apply for a mission immediately!” Director Heather said directly, “Before I arrive, you will fully represent me, representing our entire company, and you can agree to any requests made by Human Civilization! Understand?”

“Yes, I understand!” Roddy said directly.

“Also,” Heather went on, “don’t let people from the other companies know about this. Human Civilization’s foundation is stronger than we had previously thought. In combating the end-of-days, they might have progressed further than the Company Alliance—because even the Company Alliance hasn’t been able to solve the problem of powerful Spiritual Ability Users being eroded and falling into madness!”

“Yes! I understand!” Roddy’s tone was filled with uncontrollable excitement.

The Company Alliance can’t solve the problem?

That’s right!

The Company Alliance had chosen to enjoy the power of this era and to continue the development of Spiritual Power Technology, which seemed simple and expedient and brought millennia of prosperity, but when the end-of-days emerged again, how could they compare to Human Civilization that from the beginning had stayed anonymous, forsaking enjoyment, sparing no effort just for the fight against the end-of-days!

At this moment, in Roddy’s heart, the seemingly weak power of Human Civilization appeared immensely grand!

Such a civilization was where the hope to combat the end-of-days lay!

However, Roddy was unaware that his conversation with Director Heather had been under Shen Hao’s watchful eye all along.

Within the territory of Human Civilization, there was nothing Shen Hao didn’t know about.

With this, the purpose of contacting the Company Alliance had been perfectly achieved.

A legitimate identity to deeply interact with the indigenous civilization, and some trump cards important enough to get attention and even take the initiative.

With these two points, one could fully utilize the power of the native civilization.

However, Shen Hao did not forget that theirs was not the only Trial Civilization to come to this universe.

He glanced at the Chosen One interface’s ranking.

Just hours before, the performance points of the civilization previously ranked fourth had started to surge!

The speed of the surge far surpassed the growth rate of Human Civilization.

Even now, it had moved from fourth to second.

The difference from Human Civilization’s performance value was negligible.

Clearly, after the initial month of investigation and testing, the other Trial Civilizations had finally started to make their move.

And such a move was extraordinary.

“We cannot underestimate the strength and potential of the other civilizations,” Shen Hao said in his mind.

Clearly, with the epochal leap in rank and strength of Human Civilization, the power of the other participating Trial Civilizations would also change dramatically.

Simply put, as Human Civilization’s Hidden Points increased, the teammates or enemies it was matched with either had equally high Hidden Points, or they just had outright strong capabilities.

No opponent could be taken lightly.

Even when considering the strength of this Civilization Trial, the likelihood of an ally was greater than that of an enemy. Still, it did not rule out the presence of civilizations with a style like that of the Desert Tower Civilization.

Not to mention, the ranking rewards were also very important.
