Facing the Apocalypse with My Other Selves-Chapter 488 - 280: Wizard Shen Yu’s Prepared Surprise (2)
It must be understood that no matter what type of path they were discussing previously, the various methods for obtaining resources being discussed were essentially all for one purpose.
—To reduce the consumption of Gray Mist required to enhance the Extraordinary Level.
If, at this moment, there could be hundreds of billions of Gray Mist, then no resources would be needed, and all paths could be instantly elevated to the level equivalent to Taiyi Golden Immortal.
Even if some were wasted, what would it matter?
But there isn’t that much Gray Mist, and they can’t afford to waste it recklessly.
However, Wizard Shen Yu at this moment has proposed another direction that could reduce Gray Mist consumption.
Extraordinary Resources are not needed; what is needed is technology, technology within the Interstellar Civilization!
"Don’t be too happy too soon." interstellar world Shen Yu spoke at this moment, seemingly somewhat helpless.
Clearly, regarding the surprise that Wizard Shen Yu plans to throw, interstellar world Shen Yu is actually aware of it, and the private communications between him and Wizard Shen Yu, as well as the two civilizations, have indeed been quite frequent.
The others at this moment turned their gaze upon interstellar world Shen Yu, waiting for what he would say next.
Intersellar world Shen Yu didn’t beat around the bush and continued, "The technologies that Wizard Shen Yu needs, those that can significantly reduce Gray Mist consumption, aren’t something that today’s Human Civilization can offer. At the very least, they need to be from Level Five Civilizations, the pinnacle civilizations within Level Five, and even some areas, I suspect, must belong to the rumored Level Six Civilizations."
Everyone still remembers the standards of civilization levels within Interstellar Civilization.
They are defined according to the expansion range of influence.
Third Level Civilizations have the ability to build sub-light speed engines and fixed wormholes.
Level Four Civilizations have the ability to build Wormhole Transition Engines, allowing their presence throughout the entire major galaxy.
Level Five Civilizations can easily carry out actions across star systems, with influence covering several star systems, even tens or hundreds of star systems.
Level Six Civilizations are the sole dominant existence in the entire universe.
Currently, there are no clearly emerging Level Six Civilizations, but in some places, traces left by Level Six Civilizations have been vaguely discovered.
These traces are scattered across almost all known major galaxies, yet there is no existence of living beings.
Therefore, there’s also the legend of Level Seven Civilizations—that is, completely jumping out of the framework of the entire universe.
But no matter what, to meet Wizard Shen Yu’s requirements, the technology of powerful Level Five Civilizations is necessary.
What does this imply?
It implies a demand for the Interstellar Civilization to stand on the stage of the entire universe, competing with those true dominators.
Clearly, it’s not an easy task.
However, for the Association, whose extraordinary power has already reached the Golden Immortal level, it’s not something entirely hopeless.
At least, in many minds of Shen Yu, this task seems simpler than collecting resources in the Primordial World, High Martial World, or Wizard World.
After all, in the Extraordinary World, strength is strength.
Being powerful in one realm means absolute, complete, comprehensive strength!
There’s virtually no loophole or opportunity.
But the technological path is different.
The strength in one domain doesn’t necessarily represent that all domains have reached that level.
"I remember," Shen Yu said thoughtfully to interstellar world Shen Yu, "You once proposed the notion that you might have already caught the attention of a more powerful civilization. Am I correct?"
"Yes," interstellar world Shen Yu nodded slightly.
Although the association meetings of the various Shen Yu nowadays aren’t as frequent as before, if a relatively serious issue or a matter worth paying attention to arises, meetings are still held to share information.
Intersellar world Shen Yu had reported such a meeting not long ago.
Normally, the power transition within a major galaxy like theirs doesn’t mean much on a universal scale.
It doesn’t attract much attention.
But the situation with Human Civilization is different.
The problem lies with the Second Universe.
The Second Universe possesses Extraordinary Power.
In the Interstellar Civilization World, creating a new universe, or discovering a new universe, actually belongs to the technical standard of Level Six Civilizations.
Indeed, using Gray Mist requires only tens of billions of Gray Mist to accomplish it, but in the field of technology, it’s by no means simple.
This is one of the characteristics of Extraordinary Power.
The existence of Extraordinary Power can significantly fill some rules, elements, and even fundamental logic needed during the birth period of the universe.
Yet, in a purely material universe, if one wants to artificially create a universe entirely under one’s control, understanding the entire process of material universe’s birth and fundamental logic is required.
Being able to achieve such a level, it’s no exaggeration to say, is not far from using pure technology to escape the universe itself.
This shows its difficulty.
The Interstellar World classifies it as Level Six technology, which is basically a judgment based on ignorance.
The real technological level is far beyond their prediction.
Under these circumstances, the appearance of the Second Universe represents a meaning that can shake the entire Interstellar World, whether in terms of resources or technology.
It’s normal to attract attention.
But clearly, the grand boasting by interstellar world Shen Yu has produced a significant effect.
Especially the records left when interstellar world Shen Yu originally took action.
In such absence of Extraordinary Power, the body of a life form only ordinary in size containing that degree of energy is simply not possible.
This is unrelated to technology, but rather universal truth.
Just like some cosmic constants, they exist without cause, yet are taken for granted.
Therefore, these suspected high-level civilizations currently only watch Human Civilization, quietly infiltrating to gather some information about the Second Universe and Extraordinary Domain technology, but dare not stand openly in front of the Interstellar Civilization.
One can only say, where Level Six Civilization relics exist, the stronger these powerful civilizations become, the more cautious they become.
Or perhaps, the more they understand about the world, the more they realize their own smallness and ignorance.
Therefore, in today’s Interstellar World, the Interstellar Human Civilization actually resides in a seemingly subtle, but actually quite solid safe zone.
They can completely ignore it and immerse themselves in developing their Extraordinary technology.
Even other Level Five Civilizations, including those within the Star Hunting Alliance, might secretly send some technology to aid in their development.
However, once the Association decides to find the breakthrough to the next Extraordinary Level through Interstellar Civilization, this safety, this balance, this tacit understanding, will surely be completely broken.
Yet—
After careful consideration, all Shen Yu can see an eager willingness in the eyes of other Shen Yu, even in the eyes of interstellar world Shen Yu.
For a civilization facing the threat of apocalypse, true safety only exists in complete control of the entire world!
Only when no threats remain can it be considered genuine safety!
So, given this opportunity, interstellar world Shen Yu will not let it pass.
"What level do you think some key technologies within these Level Five Civilizations can reach?" Shen Yu asked the crux.
"From the information currently in hand, they certainly have profound mastery over the four fundamental forces." interstellar world Shen Yu was clearly prepared.
The four fundamental forces.
Upon hearing this news, even Shen Yu couldn’t help but crease his brows.
And Wizard Shen Yu furrowed his brow the deepest.
He well understands what this implies.
Even within Wizard Civilization, this is a critical subject for many Level Nine Wizards!
