Facing the Apocalypse with My Other Selves-Chapter 487 - 280: Wizard Shen Yu’s Surprise

The Wizard World has already been destroyed several times?

This is not something to say lightly.

Even when a civilization declines to its lowest point, it is usually not called destruction. Destruction, even when not total, means the entire civilization has turned to nothingness.

In such a situation, what the Wizard Civilization defines as "destruction" must be even more complex.

"What do you mean?" Shen Yu asked.

"It’s just a saying." Wizard Shen Yu shook his head, "They say we are now in the fourth era of countless civilizations and that the Wizard Civilization has already been destroyed three times, two times by external enemies, and once by the experiments of Level Ten Wizards."

"Even the number of times and the reasons for each destruction are so clear?" Shen Yu frowned, "Is there any evidence?"

"The problem lies there." Wizard Shen Yu shook his head, "Although this saying is widespread among the higher-ups of Wizard Society, more specifically among Level Eight Wizards, so far, no one has provided concrete evidence."

That’s right, there is no evidence.

If one insists, the only reliable reason is just one point.

Wizard Shen Yu said: "The number of Level Ten Wizards has been fixed at ten since records began in the Wizard Civilization, and no new ones have appeared over millions of years, while the number of Level Nine Wizards doesn’t support this number of Level Ten Wizards."

It takes millions to produce even one Eternal-level Wizard.

This ratio is already so terrifying.

Let alone the leap from a Level Nine Wizard to a Level Ten Wizard.

After all, across countless civilizations, there are tens of thousands of Level Eight Wizards, but there are only a little over a hundred Level Nine Wizards.

Clearly, there is a problem with the number of Level Ten Wizards.

Moreover, these Level Ten Wizards are known to have emerged from much earlier times recorded in Wizard Civilization.

Even the history from millions of years ago has already become blurred.

This is a mind-boggling fact for a powerful civilization with continuous development.

Clearly, the belief that the Wizard Civilization has been destroyed multiple times, although without material evidence, is still of high credibility as a mere speculation.

However, after hearing Wizard Shen Yu’s account, all the Shen Yus present fell into silence.

This news was not good news for them.

It means that Level Ten Wizards might not care too much about this Wizard Civilization.

Once it has been destroyed once or twice, the third or even the fourth time may not matter as much.

"Whether it’s true or not, you must be more cautious." Shen Yu could only say in the end, furrowing his brow slightly, before continuing, "I was hoping you could quickly gather resources sufficient to break through to a Level Nine Wizard."

Clearly, the resources needed for a Level Nine Wizard are not so easily acquired.

More likely, some major actions are needed.

And these major actions may bring attention that they cannot temporarily bear.

"The advancement in the path of wizards is different from ordinary Extraordinary Systems." Wizard Shen Yu spoke at this moment, his expression quite serious, "Advancement on this path involves not just resources, but also knowledge, or a perception of the world. Different types of wizards can have different types of Domains."

In other words, if one follows the path of a Technology Wizard, breaking through requires not just resources, but also knowledge.

The latter is even more crucial.

Knowledge is the foundation for a wizard’s breakthrough.

Resources are not considered major obstacles.

Due to the long-term plunder and exploitation by the Wizard Civilization, the abundance of resources within the civilization far exceeds that of other Extraordinary Civilizations.

Not to mention the Immortal Cultivation Civilization or even the Gao Wu Civilization, none can compare with the richness of these Extraordinary Resources.

Therefore, most wizards are not actually held back by resources.

In fact, once the knowledge aspect achieves a breakthrough first, resources can even be obtained through loans.

And this is very easily achieved.

Although this results in many Level Eight Wizards failing in their breakthroughs due to loans and becoming wage earners, countless Level Eight Wizards still attempt this path.

The resources wasted in this process are simply innumerable.

Realizing this, all the Shen Yus immediately recognized the advantage at hand.

"You were previously on the path of a Technology Wizard, right?" Shen Yu looked at Wizard Shen Yu and suddenly asked, "Technological knowledge within the Interstellar Civilization..."

"That’s right!" Wizard Shen Yu nodded heavily, breaking into a smile, "That’s what I mean. After communicating with Interstellar World Shen Yu and the Interstellar Civilization, I found that because the Interstellar Civilization lacks Extraordinary Power, it has achieved greater accomplishments in some areas of technology than the Wizard Civilization. While not all areas are like this, acquiring deeper and more powerful technology would undoubtedly reduce, on a large scale, the Gray Mist needed to break through to a Level Nine Wizard."

With these words, all the Shen Yus showed expressions of excitement.

Indeed, excitement.

Tremendous excitement!

Even Shen Yu hadn’t anticipated that Wizard Shen Yu would suddenly throw out such a pleasant surprise at this time.
