System: My Doomsday Train-Chapter 896 - 344: Territory Is the Lifeline of a Civilization
In this aspect.
The priority of Cosmic Rules is not as great as his Zero-level authority.
Both are rule-based means.
Cosmic Rules operate within the rules, while his Zero-level authority directly breaks through the rules, creating a new rule.
Chen Mang looked down at the birthmark on the back of his hand resembling "Mang." He used to jokingly say that maybe his parents were heroes who saved the world, like players in "infinite flow novels," unable to meet him and pursued by some villainous organization, bestowing him this wealth.
But these were just self-deprecating jokes.
He knew it was unrealistic.
Yet—
Now, he thought perhaps it was possible.
When he learned that Advanced Civilizations could go back in time, conduct space-time retrospect, and do all sorts of unimaginable things, he felt that leaving a wealth for him when his parents couldn’t meet him wasn’t so far-fetched.
As for why it’s in the form of a birthmark.
Perhaps it’s the name they gave him.
He shook his head, deciding not to dwell on it further. Once he became a Divine-level Civilization, he would slowly study the matter of the birthmark.
For now, the most important thing was. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢
To upgrade the civilization first.
Of course.
Before that, he needed to fire a 500-level Akanon Main Cannon shot. He hadn’t used this strength of attack before. Now, positioned inside the Cosmic Void, after pinpointing the direction, he aimed at the other side of the void and pressed the red button on the control panel.
The patterns on the barrel of the "Akanon Light Energy Main Cannon" on the roof of the carriage quickly illuminated and began charging.
An indescribable and terrifying energy fluctuation gradually gathered at the top of the carriage.
Then!
"Boom!"
In the silent universe, an extremely hot and thick beam of light, carrying a stance of annihilating everything along its path, headed straight into the depths of the cosmic void, becoming the sole source of light within, like a moving fixed star.
The 500-level Akanon Light Energy Main Cannon.
The cost was enormous.
It required as much as 100 billion units of iron ore.
To know, the energy for the "Akanon Light Energy Main Cannon" now largely comes from the "Constant Star Storage," consuming merely 99% energy, a 200-level cannon only requires 100 million units of iron ore.
Equivalent to costing 1000 times more.
Next moment—
A panel abruptly appeared on the screen.
-
"Human Civilization has met the promotion conditions and automatically upgraded."
"The range of this Promotion Ripple is ten million light years."
"All creatures within civilizations of level one and above will receive this Promotion Ripple in their own way."
"The transmission speed of the Promotion Ripple is the speed of light."
-
"Third-level Civilization ’Human Civilization,’ has successfully advanced to Fourth-level Civilization."
-
An ordinary Promotion Ripple.
He didn’t know the exact diameter of this cosmic void; if it wasn’t more than ten million light years, then in ten million years, the "Nami Civilization" would know there’s a civilization called Human Civilization that upgraded to Fourth-level Civilization.
Human Civilization.
At this moment, became a Fourth-level Civilization.
Then!
A civilization panel reappeared on the screen.
-
"Civilization Name": Human Civilization.
"Civilization Level": Level 4.
"Civilization Leader": Chen Mang.
"Civilized Planet": Water Blue Star, Black Tortoise Star, No.1 Mining Star, No.2 Mining Star, No.3 Mining Star, No.4 Mining Star... etc.
"Civilized Population": 5.7 billion people.
"Promotion Conditions": The strongest attack energy range exceeds 100,000, and possesses a Civilization Wonder.
"ps: Every promotion from Second-level Civilization onwards will release a "Promotion Ripple" detectable by all surrounding civilizations, the higher the level, the wider the range of the released "Promotion Ripple."
"Civilized Means": Space-Time Retrospect.
-
"Finally!"
Chen Mang immediately focused on the four words "Civilized Means" Space-Time Retrospect. This is the most iconic characteristic of Fourth-level Civilizations!
Space-Time Retrospect could.
Go back in time and launch attacks on the future.
Under the blessing of the Akanon Light Energy Main Cannon, it could unleash an attack method far beyond the civilization’s strongest, a "Foundation Level killing tool" kept for emergencies. Of course, this means must be nearby a "Cosmic Void" to be used.
Therefore.
Although Cosmic Rules, for Fourth-level Civilizations, have no restrictions regarding Cosmic Voids.
Within the consensus of various civilizations in the universe.
A Fourth-level Civilization not near a cosmic void is merely a pseudo Fourth-level Civilization, a little stronger than Third-level but lacking a Foundation Level killing tool. Only Fourth-level Civilizations adjacent to cosmic voids are genuine Fourth-level Civilizations.
"The gap is really large after all."
Chen Mang couldn’t help feeling a bit rueful. The "Nia Civilization" is also a Fourth-level civilization, yet it occupies multiple systems, with a territory diameter of a hundred light years, while he only has a small domain like the Nia Star System.
Both Fourth-level Civilizations.
His foundation is evidently weaker.
Once he completely conquers the "Nia Civilization," he should start exploring other star systems. By this time, Ai had also received all the information from "space-time retrospect."
"Train Captain."
"This space-time retrospect is relatively complex to explain, why not... we try it once, this way it can be more easily understood."
"Alright."
Next moment—
Chen Mang pressed a newly appeared button on the control panel.
Soon.
The screen revealed a panel.
-
"The cosmic coordinates of the location are, xxxx..."
"Please choose retrospect years."
