Run Away, This Civilization Is Cheating!-Chapter 295 - 274: Silent Pollution

Chapter 295: Chapter 274: Silent Pollution

This greatly alarmed You Ming.

As a possessor of a Golden Legendary Talent and having long fought at the forefront of the points struggle, his personal ranking stood at the seventeenth place on the Chosen One leaderboard.

This meant that most civilizations actually had Chosen Ones with Golden Legendary Talents, and there was a not insignificant probability that there was more than one.

But he had never imagined that so many of them would be dispatched here!

The participants of this trial were truly a gathering of hidden dragons and crouching tigers.

No wonder their Cangling Civilization, even after going all out to gather points, saw their ranking fall instead of rise, dropping directly from third to fifth place.

“It might not necessarily be Golden Legendary Talents,” You Ming could only console himself in this manner, “It could also be quite powerful Golden Legendary Abilities.”

Golden Legendary Abilities could be obtained from the Ability Ball Furnace, which wasn’t difficult for a formidable Chosen One like him.

But the difficult part was finding an ability that matched one’s own.

And You Ming’s [Undying King] was a Talent with a very high specificity, where only abilities from the Undead system could meet his needs.

These were not easy to come by.

Hence, You Ming currently possessed only Purple Epic Abilities, and his strength, among Chosen Ones with similar level Golden Legendary Talents, must be considered rather weak.

You Ming was well aware of this fact.

However—

You Ming’s gaze, somewhat covertly, turned towards two individuals among the crowd.

One of them came from a civilization named “Ebat,” with two curved horns on his forehead, a tall figure, and bronze skin, but the exposed skin was covered with dark engravings, emitting a fearsome aura that was extraordinarily bloodthirsty and ferocious, as if the words “Hunter” were written across his face.

In You Ming’s “Arena Simulation,” the individual defeated all of his Tamed Beasts and You Ming himself in just forty-three seconds.

This represented an absolute difference in strength, not to be contested!

The other was from a civilization called the “Great Wilderness,” with a slender build and handsome features, yet standing there, he also made no attempt to hide his own invincible aura, behind him a sun and moon shimmered in and out of sight, accompanied by an endless tide; looking at him felt like looking at an immense, boundless ocean that could even encompass and engulf the sun and moon.

This man, in the “Arena Simulation,” had defeated him in just thirty-nine seconds!

Although “Arena Simulation” couldn’t completely judge strength by time and in short encounters couldn’t grasp all the simulated cards and abilities.

Even then, Mo Wen, the strongest of the Cangling Civilization, needed a full forty-seven seconds to defeat him!

Rather than delude oneself into thinking that these two civilizations had dispatched their strongest, it was more realistic to believe that within their civilizations, there were more than one stronger than President Mo Wen!

“The President is right, our strength is quite lacking in this trial,” You Ming murmured in his heart.

He withdrew his gaze, his whole demeanor seemingly becoming much more reserved.

And he was not the only one who underwent such a change.

Out of the five delegations present, no fewer than three displayed the same demeanor, even tacitly banding together, with only the delegations from Ebat and Great Wilderness Civilizations holding particularly prominent positions, as if engaged in a subtle rivalry.

Until a voice emerged.

Frey, dressed in a luxurious and exquisite gown, with another five council members, appeared here.

It was none other than the leading figures of the Justice Federation, barring the detained Levent, in full attendance!

“On behalf of the Justice Federation, I welcome you all from afar,” Frey was clearly the host of this banquet, exuding a rich affinity like a breeze brushing the face, “There is another delegation from a Hidden Civilization on their way, perhaps they will arrive in time for the start of the banquet. My colleagues and I are delighted that you have taken our invitation so seriously. The Justice Federation always firmly believes that only unity, cooperation, and friendliness can overcome all difficulties and allow the great unity of life in the Universe to continually develop and strengthen, especially in the face of the common crisis we face…”

Frey’s voice was gentle yet firm.

She clearly laid out her own and the entire Justice Federation’s appeal.

It must be said, reaching such strength, most powers are extremely complex, with thoughts and considerations almost exclusively focused on their own interests and development.

Very few civilizations would advocate for unity and friendliness, let alone put such ideals at the forefront.

But the Justice Federation did indeed do so.

And it indeed had an effect.

With such ideals and actions, they had attracted many small and medium-sized civilizations to their side, which is the main reason the Justice Federation was able to develop so quickly in just six to seven hundred years.

It was also because of such a reputation that they got the attention of numerous Hidden Civilizations—Trial Civilizations also need reliable native allies to add support and reduce the pressure of facing the trials.

After all, for any ambitious Trial Civilization, simply surviving the trial is not the first goal; enduring the trials with a stronger and more intact posture is the guarantee for long-term development.

Therefore, after Frey’s speech was concluded, all the envoys radiated goodwill, even the cruel and bloodthirsty envoy from the Ebat Civilization was smiling at this moment.

He had the elegance of a dark monarch.

The topic quickly shifted to the crux of the matter.

“As you all are aware, the Justice Federation is indeed facing an unprecedented crisis,” Frey said with a serious tone. A large projection appeared before them, “At first, only disturbances arose within the legions at the front lines, a disease we have named ‘Decline Syndrome’ spread rapidly. Our soldiers, battle-hardened and steadfast warriors all, would not easily give up even after experiencing significant setbacks in war, let alone start to mysteriously loathe battle and obedience under circumstances where we still had the advantage, and evolve rapidly into resistance and rebellion… ”

The three-dimensional projection provided many images.

Most of which were from battlefields within the Life Empire.

The images even showed a contrast, where regardless of species or rank, individuals went from being eager for battle and fighting hard to slacking off, resisting, becoming demoralized, and even rebelling.

The difference between before and after was glaringly obvious.

Although capriciousness is a characteristic of intelligent life, this was not just one or two individuals experiencing these issues, but a widespread phenomenon.

This caused many of the envoys from the Trial Civilizations to look very somber, with a few even showing expressions of panic.

Because their troops were experiencing similar issues!

Yes, although the situation wasn’t as severe, the trend was certainly there!

You Ming’s emotions continued to plummet.

Before coming here, he also heard similar reports, about how the will to fight was waning among the front-line warriors, especially among the Pet Beasts, many of which were exhibiting a reluctance to fight.

They had held meetings to discuss this.

The preliminary conclusion was that this was the impact of a chronic, unending pollution crisis.

But now, looking at the situation…

“It was Levent who noticed this change and decided to investigate the cause himself,” Frey’s voice came again. “His Spiritual Ability Talent is on the level of the soul, which might well be the main reason he was affected by the pollution.”

This was the Justice Federation’s first official acknowledgment of Levent’s contamination.

If this news spread, it would likely shake the native forces throughout the universe.

Levent was a core member of the Justice Council, one of the Three Giants of the Justice Federation. Aside from not bearing the title of Emperor, in many people’s hearts, he was virtually the Emperor of the Justice Federation!

He had countless followers, even worshippers, and was one of the Strongest at the very apex of the universe!

And compared to his strength, what impressed people even more, and earned countless individuals’ admiration, was naturally his will and his determination to pursue justice.

There were innumerable legendary stories about Levent!

The news of his contamination would likely have a bigger impact than when the Emperor of the Life Empire was contaminated!

However, the key figures present were all from the Trial Civilizations and not from this universe, so they reacted quite ordinarily to this news.

This was something they had already predicted.

This reaction allowed Frey and the others to breathe a slight sigh of relief.

Afterwards, they quickly presented another piece of information.

“At first, we were completely unaware of Levent’s contamination,” Frey continued, “This contamination was different from what the Life Empire faced before, it was more covert, even silent, so much so that the affected individual couldn’t detect it themselves, until Levent proposed a plan—”

Within the projection, Big Head Levent appeared.

His appearance, from a human point of view, couldn’t exactly be considered attractive.

His entire being was one gigantic head, with the back of his skull continuously extending backward, white and hard all over, his neck below trailed by crystal-like tentacles, and his deeply recessed eyeballs, yet they twinkled with a wisdom that seemed to transcend all else.

“The warriors on the front lines are correct,” said Big Head Levent in the projection, showing no signs of contamination, with the wisdom in his eyes still present, not even a hint of madness, as he spoke calmly and resolutely, “Such struggle has no meaning and sees no hope. We should seek other methods.”

“…” Those in attendance fell silent.

You Ming even hesitated.

Was there anything wrong with these words?

They seemed logically coherent and resolute in will. Did this really look like contamination?

“There’s no issue with me speaking these words, and there’s no issue with other comrades speaking them,” Frey said in a low tone. “But Levent is different; he would never say something like ‘seeing no hope’!”
