RUN AWAY, THIS CIVILIZATION IS CHEATING!

Chapter 459: Chapter 363: Shen Hao’s Breakthrough Time!_2

“This can’t go on, we won’t be able to catch up,” was the unanimous conclusion within the Strategic Analysis Department.

Unless the First Civilization truly met with disaster, this aggressive stance indeed proved difficult to catch up with.

On one hand, there was the difference in mass.

The entire Human Civilization System was almost using up all the military forces it could, with civilians, who weren’t originally part of the war system, being dispatched to relatively safe small worlds for military operations.

On the other hand, the new calculation method for points in the Civilization Mall actually disadvantaged Human Civilization.

Because the only aspect of Human Civilization that could “cheat” was the portion obtained by Shen Hao individually, not the total points acquired by the rest of the Chosen Ones.

In effect, the actual performance value obtained didn’t reach seven times the total efficiency.

Under such a conclusion, the only way to further increase the speed of acquiring points was through external forces.

Trial Civilizations and indigenous civilizations were the two possible directions to consider.

“The Thunder Fire Civilization is willing to assist us,” someone presented the latest document.

This was a result in the field of diplomacy.

After negotiating with Lian Yunbin and Hemu for a while, and exchanging resources equivalent to double the points, they obtained the assistance of the Thunder Fire Civilization’s military forces. The cooperative mode adopted was that the Thunder Fire Legion would help with the suppression, and then the Human Civilization’s legions would carry out the final efficient slaughtering as much as possible.

During the previous Trial, similar cooperation was also executed with civilizations like the Beast Taming Civilization and the Star Moon Civilization, which at the time were not yet under Human Civilization.

With Shen Hao’s “cheating” ability, this cooperation actually favored them.

However, the current scale of cooperation wasn’t considered large, far from being comprehensive.

The core reason wasn’t the level of trust between the two parties, but rather the Thunder Fire Civilization’s own competition.

The exchange of material for double points certainly represented great interest, but the quality of the benefits represented by the ranking rewards was clearly more significant.

They were still aiming to secure the fifth position, obviously unable to support Human Civilization fully.

Nevertheless, it was still considered an important gain.

“What about the Casey Civilization?” someone shifted the focus to the Casey Civilization.

This was also a major point of discussion for the Strategic Analysis Department.

“The recent movements of the Casey Civilization have been stable, and it seems the diplomatic team’s goal has been achieved, but the time for concrete results is unclear,” another person brought out another document.

The reason Lian Yunbin ignored the Casey Civilization was to pressure them.

As one of the Trial Civilizations that established contact first, even if only an Affiliated Civilization within the same region theoretically already had the ability to invade the entire Casey Civilization System using the coordinates of the Affiliated Civilizations.

Moreover, by getting close to their competitors and excluding them, they achieved critical results with native civilizations, among a series of other pressures.

It was enough to make the higher echelons of the Casey Civilization to give the matter more significant attention!

As expected, the Casey Civilization was now waiting for their Sixth Rank Warriors to free up.

For a Trial Civilization like this, with a centralized system of governance, directly dealing with the top tier of power control evidently made it easier to secure the most substantial diplomatic results.

In the end, this direction was marked for priority observation.

And there were many other directions, in addition.

For instance, increasing the investment in key technologies, significantly enhancing the combat efficiency of the front lines, or concentrating resources to cultivate a batch of warriors, starting from the powerful entities among the Weird Demons; and, most importantly, Shen Hao’s Level!

“This document comes from the President!” When the meeting chairperson took out the last document, their tone became much more respectful.

The others were also serious and solemn, yet not without anticipation.

The entire Human Civilization was well aware of Shen Hao’s significance to Human Civilization, and the understanding of these elites from the Strategic Analysis Department was far deeper than anyone else’s!

To speak frankly, if anything happened to Shen Hao, the whole civilization would fall into collapse, even entering directly into a countdown to destruction.

The remaining power was simply insufficient to support Human Civilization in facing the current Trial Strength, as well as future Trials.

Even Shen Hao’s slightest change could directly impact the entire Human Civilization’s strategic plans.

It’s said that it’s like walking on two legs, but so far, Shen Hao’s leg has been obviously thicker than the other!

And with the specific content of this document given, everyone showed a look of surprise and delight.

The content Shen Hao mentioned in this document wasn’t substantial, but it was extremely crucial—he predicted the approximate time of his breakthrough to the Sixth Stage!

“Three to six months!” someone exclaimed, barely able to control their emotions, “This is too important! Truly too important!”

Shen Hao had been at Level 50 for some time now.

Thanks to the rapid development of the entire Human Civilization during the past peaceful twenty-five years, Shen Hao’s [Emperor] profession had gradually begun to show its strength as a late-stage profession.

His personal power level was no longer weaker than the average level of the top warriors of civilization.

It was stronger.

He was the first in the entire Human Civilization to reach Level 50.

And since the trials began, thanks to the expansion of points, the upgrade of the civilization store level, and even the faith and worship of many natives, Shen Hao’s cultivation speed had once again increased substantially compared to the peaceful period; it could be said that the entire Human Civilization was waiting for his breakthrough!

The discussion among the general public was consistently fervent.

Once he broke through, even if other trial civilizations had higher-level Red Mythical Talent holders, no one would doubt Shen Hao’s dominance at the top tiers of the Transcendent ranks.

Therefore, this document in front of them was like a massive boost of confidence for everyone at the Strategic Analysis Department!

Even if it would take five months, that would still be before the time of the first settlement!

“In that case, I suggest that our subsequent actions can be more aggressive,” someone quickly said, “Even if it leads to a multi-regional siege, it’s worth it.”

“Agreed.”

“We can indeed be more aggressive now.”

“I propose that some small worlds completely occupied by Weird Demons can be utterly destroyed!”

“We must also reserve the capability to deal with emergencies, let’s not forget, we still couldn’t find the source of this settlement’s destiny node.”

…

The meeting had clearly moved into a new phase.

Shen Hao also roughly understood the situation, and then didn’t really interfere much.

The reason why he needed to submit a report to the meeting personally was precisely because, in terms of strategic details, the collective wisdom was more important than his individual will.

Shen Hao had never attempted to handle all matters alone, and more often, he simply played a supervisory role.

Right now, his greatest and most important task was to break through to the Sixth Stage as soon as possible.

It must be said that the Sixth Stage is different from any previous stage.

Before this, even the Fifth Stage above Level 41, in general, was still at a planet-level Extraordinary Rank.

That is, Shen Hao was powerful enough; otherwise, the individual destructive power of the Fifth Stage alone might not even compare to those annihilative Star Destroyer Cannons.

But the Sixth Stage was utterly different.

If one were to draw an analogy, it would be like the “Immortal” in traditional cultivation novels!

Yes.

Previously, Shen Hao substituted the earlier stages for concepts such as Qi Refinement, Foundation Establishment, Golden Core, Nascent Soul, and Divinity Transformation, which were roughly representative in the novels, but this was actually inaccurate.

After all, the difference in quality between each level translates to huge disparities in strength.

The performance value of a Fifth Stage Golden Legendary Talent holder has already surpassed many so-called Divinity Transformations in novels.

Yet, in the Sixth Stage, there would still be a transformative improvement, even exceeding the previous stages.
