Run Away, This Civilization Is Cheating!

To find them wasn't actually all that difficult.

Although the small map did not have the feature to mark Trial Civilizations, the update time for the cheat was almost up!

Indeed, it was the "Chosen One Detection External Program Third Edition."

This cheat allowed the user to directly investigate other Chosen Ones, as well as the basic information of the top thousand Chosen Ones ranked on the leaderboard, including "three-dimensional data," "Soul Talent," "Loading Ability," "Store Level," and "Coordinates" five items.

Among them, the prerequisite to enable the "Coordinates" function was to activate the small map cheat.

Now, the conditions were perfectly met.

Moreover, the purpose of activating this cheat wasn't merely to find the Fourth Civilization, also known as the Business Alliance Civilization.

This meant that the top thousand Chosen Ones on the leaderboard were completely under his control.

Excluding Chosen Ones as powerful as the Holy Spirits of the Contract Spirit Civilization who just needed to stay in their headquarters, and whom Shen Hao wasn't entirely sure he could handle, all other Chosen Ones, once their coordinates were exposed, were virtually placing themselves under Shen Hao's butcher's knife.

Of course, Shen Hao estimated that this would only be effective in the initial surprise.

Once the opposition was prepared, they would either gather around the Holy Spirits for defense or adopt some special means of escape.

But at the beginning, it would definitely play a critical role.

Like right now!

Upon activating this new cheat, changes immediately appeared on the small map.

They were several blue dots.

Unlike the red dots that represented Weird Demons and showed the points obtained, these blue dots displayed extensive intelligence information about these powerful Chosen Ones.

This was not the intelligence information from the time they first entered the Trial Universe; it was real-time and much more detailed.

Shen Hao first focused on the Holy Spirit.

This being was definitely the strongest Chosen One in this Trial, other than himself. Her strength was immense, surpassing the Third Chosen One by a large margin, and her dossier was the most powerful Shen Hao had ever encountered among Chosen Ones.

It even significantly surpassed the other two Red Mythical Chosen Ones within the Human Civilization.

"Red Mythical Talent — Infinite Battle Body!" Shen Hao was somewhat shocked as he read the specifics of this Talent.

He didn't know what this Talent's performance would be like at a Golden Legendary level.

But at the Red Mythical quality, its performance was indeed extremely powerful.

It didn't even have the typical multiple basic abilities of regular Red Mythical Talents.

Its only ability was one!

"You can infinitely double your basic strength during combat without any limit!"

However, a note was added after this ability.

[Note 1: The number of bursts is related to your cultivation, battle will, and soul.]

Clearly, this ability indeed had no limit, but the possessor did.

Just like Shen Hao's Talent.

Theoretically, the moment he obtained the Talent, Shen Hao became a true Sovereign, but in reality, his performance was still limited by his Level.

Nonetheless, this Talent was frightening enough.

Because it was an explicitly combat-focused Talent!

More importantly, Shen Hao had no idea where the opponent's limit was, and likely, neither did they.

This was a power that could display miracles at critical moments.

It could only be said that it was fortunate to have received this intelligence in advance; otherwise, if it really came to the end and the opponent successively unleashed bursts of strength to turn the tables, Shen Hao would simply be following the standard antagonist trope.

Besides this, the opponent's ability panel was also quite lavish.

At the moment, she had indeed officially entered into Level 57, that is, the late stage of the Sixth Stage, with a total of thirteen abilities, among which five were Red Mythical, and of those five, two were Profession Exclusive Red Mythical Talents.

Although it seemed fewer compared to Shen Hao, and her profession was just Golden Legendary, some of the Red Mythical abilities were still not to be underestimated.

For instance, an ability called "Time True Self."

It was strikingly capable of merging a version of oneself from a past moment and a future moment with the current self!

The past represented the peak, and the future represented potential, allowing the bursting of incredibly powerful strength in a short duration.

Combined with her Talent...

"What kind of Super Saiyan is this." Shen Hao could already imagine the scene where she would burst forth in battle.

The other abilities were primarily combat-enhancing types.

Clearly, this being focused her growth direction on personal strength, and it was quite extreme.

But at a higher Level, indeed, some aspects could restrain Shen Hao's type of accumulating foundation.

Fortunately, while her bursting was greater and Level higher, the execution of such bursting was extremely unstable, and using brute force required it to be overwhelmingly strong.

Clearly, facing a tricky and utterly mysterious opponent like Shen Hao, even this Holy Spirit was similarly restrained.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have curled up in her own world, afraid to leave, just because of Shen Hao's one remote appearance.

The current situation, however, did not warrant too much concern about her.

Shen Hao checked on the other warriors of the Contract Spirit Civilization, which he found to be quite normal in comparison.

The resources that the first Chosen One of a civilization can acquire far surpass those available to other Chosen Ones, especially considering the ranking rewards and most crucially, the individual Trial settlement rewards.

This also formed the basis for the development of an "extreme warrior-type" civilization.

Thus, aside from this Holy Spirit, the other Chosen Ones and warriors under Shen Hao in the Human Civilization only had a slight advantage in level.

In other areas, whether it's abilities, talents, or equipment, they were quite average.

This gave Shen Hao a clear understanding of the core high-level figures in the Contract Spirit Civilization.

He then shifted his focus to the Business Alliance Civilization.

At first, he was worried that the Chosen Ones of the Business Alliance Civilization were not within the range of the map he had developed.

After all, this civilization seemed to have a knack for concealment.

The Human Civilization hadn't found them, neither had the Star Spirit Civilization, and even the Contract Spirit Civilization, suspected of deep cooperation, had no coordinate intelligence.

However, when Shen Hao really paid attention, he discovered that the strongest Chosen One within the Business Alliance, ranked third among the Chosen Ones, was remarkably close to a region near the small world area where the Mother Star of Human Civilization was located!

If Shen Hao didn't know that the small map was obtained by hacking directly into the Civilization Trial System for intelligence, he would have doubted its accuracy.

But the reality was right in front of him.

The strongest Chosen One of the Business Alliance Civilization had always been within his map range!

"What kind of ability could it be?" Shen Hao squinted his eyes, looking at the panel information of this strongest Chosen One from the Business Alliance.

Talent—Red Mythical Level!

Shen Hao was sure that at the beginning of the Trial, his talent was only at the Golden Legend Level.

At the start of the entire Trial, apart from three individuals from the Human Civilization, only the Holy Spirit of the Contract Spirit Civilization possessed a Red Mythical Talent!

This was the intelligence provided by the database.

"This person, had already secured a promotion slot for Red Mythical Talent early on, but chose to upgrade the talent after the Trial began?" Shen Hao didn't quite believe this speculation.

The promotion of Original Talent, as long as one obtains a promotion slot from the Civilization Trial System, can be completed immediately after receiving it.

Indeed, there's no need for any preparation, and it can be done at any time.

But the earlier it is activated, the more effective it can be, allowing one to familiarize themselves with the new ability more quickly, and some Talent promotions could even accelerate one's level cultivation.

What reason could there be to delay the promotion?

Additionally, the name of this talent...

[I Am the World]!

Just the literal meaning alone provided Shen Hao with an almost intuitive guess.

Until he saw the detailed system intelligence information of the talent, indeed, his guess was confirmed.

[1. Your soul and body will merge with the world, indistinguishable from each other]

[2. The world will transform into your body and flesh]

[3. Your cultivation speed and level cap will be limited by the world, but will also be strengthened by the world]

[4. Your cultivation will bring feedback to the growth of the world]

These four abilities essentially implemented the name of the talent itself.

I Am the World!

Shen Hao finally understood why up to this point no civilization had found the Mother Star of this Business Alliance Civilization.

It was unimaginable that the Mother Star could move around as the mightiest Chosen One of a civilization!

In comparison, the Mother Star of Human Civilization, confined in a small world within this Trial Universe, simply couldn't match in terms of mobility.

Moreover, the counterpart didn't need to worry about the safety of their Mother Star.

As long as the Chosen One himself was sufficiently concealed, careful, and had strong escape capabilities, the entire civilization's Mother Star was essentially worry-free.

"No wonder they dared to choose a development direction that optimizes short-term benefits only," Shen Hao also marveled.

This capability to thrive in any situation was truly extraordinary.

Indeed, at this level of civilization, each basically has its own unique trick!

As Shen Hao further observed the opponent's abilities, indeed, although there were only three Red Mythical abilities, all of them were related to safety.

Particularly, an ability named [Void Walking].

This bestowed upon the opponent the ability to freely traverse on a rule-based level, nearly on par with Shen Hao's [Dominator Domain].

Coupled with another two abilities named [Karma Ghost] and [Undying Body], they indeed collected stealth, defense, and movement, three major reconnaissance-type abilities.

"Feng Ping has finally met his match," Shen Hao concluded.
