RUN AWAY, THIS CIVILIZATION IS CHEATING!

Chapter 455: Chapter 361: It’s Actually the Second Civilization!_2

Therefore, Hemu did not find it strange, his attention was taut, completely at a disadvantage in this rather sudden negotiation.

After all, diplomatic ability is fundamentally an extension of civilization strength.

“Indeed, it’s an interpretation,” Hemu said with a smile, “Our civilization began early with dense manifestations of thunder, encompassing thunder worship, and our Extraordinary Path is the same. Thunder Fire represents the most characteristic aspect of our civilization.”

As he spoke, he raised his palm where strands of black lightning emerged, demonstrating a display resembling flames.

Everyone could sense the formidable force within.

Even, there was a unique vitality contained within.

The strength of the opponent was undeniable, probably at Level 48, possessing a Golden Legendary Talent, and at least one Red Mythical ability.

This was the conclusion brought by the preliminary investigation of the President!

“Truly unique,” Lian Yunbin did not stint his admiration. However, his praise already faintly set himself on a higher status.

Hemu had no objections, for it was the truth.

Their rank was so far behind this time, it was clear they could no longer take the lead among Trial Civilizations.

Such civilizations, after three or four trials at most, must find a suitable Sovereign Civilization.

Otherwise, their ranking would only drop lower and lower until they ended up last in a trial and then were destroyed.

The several civilizations that were destroyed in the last trial experienced this fate.

Therefore, the relationship between weak Trial Civilizations looking for suitable and powerful Sovereign Civilizations and powerful civilizations collecting equally suitable and strong Affiliated Civilizations is fundamentally a two-way choice.

The competitive relationship between them, on the other hand, is not intense.

Naturally, they can get along more harmoniously and are not stingy with sharing more intelligence information.

“Speaking of lightning, the Chosen One, the strongest in our civilization, was also once adept at using the power of lightning. In the beginning of the trial, it can be said that he saved our entire civilization,” Lian Yunbin stretched out his hand, directly showcasing a strand of golden lightning.

As a direct subordinate of Shen Hao, he is essentially like a Favoured one, naturally able to possess a part of Shen Hao’s powers.

Thunder is one of them.

The [Purple Cloud Thunder] ability is still Golden Legendary to this day and has not found a higher substitute. Hence, it’s actually not used much anymore.

Hemu could naturally discern the quality of this ability.

But still, he was shocked!

As an ability of Shen Hao, and especially being passed down through the [Emperor] profession to his subjects and Favoured, it must naturally contain a trace of the essence of [Sovereign].

Combined with the essence of [Emperor], the mere trace of foundation displayed was enough to amaze such a “Thunder Expert”!

No need for hesitation, it was directly confirmable.

At least a Red Mythical Talent!

Yes, according to the databank information obtained from Shen Hao, among the current Trial Civilizations, the only ones with a Red Mythical Talent are those ranked first, third, and Human Civilization itself – three civilizations.

Among them, the first and the third civilizations have only one each.

From this, it’s evident, even at such a level, a Red Mythical Talent is still exceedingly rare.

The shock this brought to such a civilization like the sixth could be imagined.

Hemu’s heart grew more solemn; regardless of conjectures, when facts laid before them, they had no choice but to take it seriously.

“Indeed, it’s an astonishing ability; it seems we have all forged a deep connection with Thunder,” Hemu’s smile even became a touch warmer.

At such a level of strength, controlling one’s facial expressions is a simple matter, so this display was certainly intentional.

But this kind of display in itself was proof of a closer relationship.

Therefore, Lian Yunbin’s tone was similarly cordial, a hint of a smile on his face as he said, “That’s right, the very moment I heard the name of your civilization, I felt a kinship. You arrived a bit earlier, do you understand anything about the other civilization?”

His words shifted, still inquiring about another Trial Civilization, yet within his inquiry, he had subtly allied with Hemu, positioning the other civilization separately.

Such a small tactic was quite useful.

From the positioning of these two civilizations, it was likely they were at odds with each other.

“We suspect they are the Casey Civilization, ranked eighth,” Hemu said with a smile, “Don’t be fooled by just being eighth; the performance value difference between us and even the fifth is not significant. If we could communicate with the Great Sun Immortal Sect, we might quickly catch up; thus, they naturally see us as competitors. However, now that your civilization has arrived, my Thunder Fire Civilization is very willing to forego the interests of this region.”

This was a clear statement of position.

But in reality, it was just an empty promise.

The strength of the Human Civilization was apparent here; what could they do if they did not concede?

Moreover, if they couldn’t obtain it, neither could the other civilization.

After all, there was no competition between Thunder Fire Civilization and Human Civilization; the ranking gap was too vast.

“To be frank,” Lian Yunbin nodded, “we are preparing to make a run for the first place. This region is quite crucial indeed.”

Upon hearing “make a run for first place,” despite being prepared, Hemu couldn’t help but have a moment of tension.

This was a big deal!

If it truly succeeded, then the astounding potential displayed by this Human Civilization would definitely be a suitable choice for a Sovereign Civilization. After all, choosing a Sovereign was not just about strength; if the potential wasn’t enough and it fell behind after a few Trials, it would still face the crisis of extinction.

And even in failure, this would signify more aggressive, perhaps even riskier actions.

Hemu was now somewhat impatient to relay this intelligence; his entire Thunder Fire Civilization might need to make some significant decisions regarding this information, possibly even changes!

Using him alone, he had no authority to handle it.

But at this moment, gathering more intelligence was still the most important thing.

“Second, naturally, is aiming for first place. I also believe in your civilization’s strength,” Hemu expressed a perfectly timed mix of envy and respect, then his expression turned serious, “Since there’s such a connection, if there’s anything you need our help with, feel free to bring it up. We would be delighted to establish friendly relations with such a formidable civilization as yours.”

Flattery was cheap and thus freely given.

Even if a friendly relationship could not be established, a civilization such as theirs would, by all means, avoid antagonistic relations, or even tendencies for antagonism, with a civilization ranked second!

“Currently, that won’t be necessary, but if there is a need from above, we will discuss it further,” Lian Yunbin said with a faint smile, yet he didn’t seem to pay much attention to it. He then looked towards the direction of the other civilization but seemed to have no intention of going there directly, instead asking, “You must have also spotted the flaws of this indigenous civilization, right? Their fighting spirit is too weak, lacking in successors, merely relying on the support of a Sixth Stage powerful entity, destruction is inevitable.”

“Exactly,”

Hemu also nodded. They were the first ones to arrive, so they knew a lot of intelligence.

He was also happy to share, continuing to say, “But in truth, they are not entirely hopeless. As far as we know, there are still a group of warriors in this civilization’s front lines willing to fight bravely. No matter how comfortable people are, once a crisis arrives, they will always unleash considerable potential. Moreover, their techniques for handling enemies are crucial, which we are seeking to understand too. Regrettably, that warrior refuses to communicate with us, and our Sixth Rank Chosen One is not available at this moment.”

Clearly, not every strong Chosen One was like Shen Hao, who only needed to sit on the throne to bring significant assistance and benefits to the entire civilization.

Most warriors needed to personally engage in battle.

In tense competition, being stretched thin is inevitable.
