CHAPTER 332: CHAPTER 206: COSMIC CIVILIZATION’S RESPONSE_2
"Could it be the new Ruins of the Gods?"
"This is a miracle, the return of the Divine Hall!"
"We’d better be careful!"
"..."
At this moment, Shen Shi and the group of high-level humans were also paying attention to the reactions within the Cosmic Civilization.
For them, this wasn’t a difficult task.
The Cosmic Civilization had naturally entered the information age, and under the information infiltration systems of the Grotto Heaven, their information technology had no resistance whatsoever, much like in the past when Shen Shi easily infiltrated and controlled the entire network on Blue Star with the Wogte.
Previously, Shen Shi was able to directly control everything on the Cosmic People’s immigration spaceship, also relying on the information infiltration technology aboard the Grotto Heaven.
At this moment, they were only observing and did not deliberately take any particular action.
"The reaction of the Cosmic Civilization feels very familiar to me," Tao De said, looking at the summary information. "Apart from some differences in customs, culture, and qualities, they’re not very different from us humans."
"After all, all are wise life forms," the others were not too surprised.
Even before arriving, they had already performed a comprehensive understanding and analysis of the Cosmic Civilization through information given by Shen Shi.
Such reactions were naturally predictable.
"What we need to watch next is the reaction of King Yu," Shen Shi spoke at this moment. "Since these ordinary people’s reactions correlate closely with our predictions, there’s no need to pay too much attention. Currently, the Cosmic Civilization’s culture is a standard semi-feudal one. King Yu, reigning for over a thousand years, holds unparalleled influence. According to our plan, our core focus should still be on King Yu."
Everyone nodded in agreement.
This conclusion was the result of their studies of the Cosmic People’s culture.
In the Cosmic Civilization, King Yu was indeed a highly unique existence, and his story was very legendary.
According to Cosmic People’s history, King Yu initially was just an ordinary person, during a time when Cosmic Civilization was under the divine right of kings. Yet, through luck, King Yu found a Ruins of the Gods, inherited a powerful personal device, and gradually rose in the chaotic world, creating the Royal Court, unifying the Cosmic Civilization. He became the first king who surpassed the influence of the Divine Court, leading the entire civilization into the era of interstellar civilization.
Such history, such accomplishments.
If not for the deep cultural influence of the Divine Court on the Cosmic People’s culture, it would have been natural for King Yu to become the solitary God of the entire civilization.
If King Yu and the Divine Court can be handled, taking away the entire civilization would be without pressure.
Therefore, at this moment, Shen Shi and others were waiting for King Yu’s reaction.
Soon, King Yu’s response appeared.
"All are forbidden from approaching that planet! It is a distinguished guest from the deep space of the cosmos!"
This was an order personally issued by King Yu, and notably, when he issued it, the Pope of the Divine Court stood behind him.
In such circumstances, not only Shen Shi and others but even the Cosmic People realized something.
It should be noted that although it currently seemed that the Royal Court had subtly more strength than the Divine Court, in terms of status, the Pope, representing the Gods and faith, was higher. Even when the two occasionally appeared together, they stood side by side; when had the Pope ever stood behind King Yu?
Some ordinary people might just express surprise and confusion.
But for the higher-ups, this was no less than an earth-shattering change.
Because it signified that the Divine Court and Royal Court finally showed hierarchical order!
It also meant that the Cosmic Civilization was finally moving towards integration!
With King Yu as the center of integration!
This was undoubtedly a groundbreaking event in the Cosmic Civilization and its history—it marked the momentous loss of the unique status of the Divine Court, which had permeated Cosmic People’s history and culture.
One could even say that the era of the Gods ended at this moment!
However, everyone also understood that such an unimaginable decision by the Divine Court indicated only one thing...
The pressure was truly immense!
So immense that even the thousands-year, possibly tens of thousands-year, dominance of the Divine Court became insignificant!
Undoubtedly, this pressure could only come from this suddenly appearing life planet!
And it’s precisely because of this that a tense and fearful atmosphere began to spread.
Even ordinary people started to notice.
At least, the voices on their information platforms began to decrease, as if under some kind of regulation, and the few remaining voices faintly expressed deep unease.
However, Shen Shi did not take any particular action; from this distance, using the exploration system of the Grotto Heaven, he could easily pinpoint King Yu’s location, even monitor everything about King Yu.
King Yu was continuously issuing orders.
"High-ranking generals must always be ready to create a completely independent military information system in the shortest time possible. All weapons and equipment should not be locked onto that planet, but must be able to lock it in the shortest time, meanwhile all warships should be centrally managed and converge here in the shortest time..."
King Yu’s directives, in human terms, are very simple.
—Internal tension, external relaxation.
He clearly did not dare provoke this obviously powerful force, just as he used the term "distinguished guest" in his public speech to express the Cosmic People’s friendly attitude towards the presence on that planet, but simultaneously did not intend to give up completely and was continuously preparing for the worst.
But Shen Shi could certainly sense.
Beneath King Yu’s seemingly orderly and composed exterior, deep worry lay hidden.
Obviously, this sudden appearance of the Grotto Heaven also startled King Yu.
After completing these arrangements, King Yu returned to a high-level meeting. Here, unlike before, the meeting was held in a Ruins of the Gods and involved many preparations; it could be said that every possible method within the civilization was used to maintain confidentiality.
If Shen Shi hadn’t reached the level close to Master of Primordial Energy, hadn’t possessed the Grotto Heaven and Iwen warships, which were B-level, he might not be able to detect this caliber of secret meetings.
But at this moment, he took in the entire meeting.
King Yu no longer pretended to be calm here.
He wore a heavy expression.
"It is indeed the same planet that Jis saw... If it wasn’t the disorienting awareness caused by powerful Spiritual Energy, it only indicates that this planet has directly leaped here from beyond the veil." The unique cultural characteristics of the Cosmic People’s language made it difficult to fully translate its meanings accurately into human language.
For instance, they translated their term for Primordial Energy as Spiritual Energy simply because they believed all things have spirits, and Primordial Energy is born from this spiritual nature.
However, the term "leaped" was translated very accurately at this moment.
As it was not a Cosmic People’s term but a phonetic translation.
It was even recorded in the language translators of many civilizations in the Mude System Shen Shi owned—a civilization that had perished tens of thousands of years ago.
Shen Shi did not expect to discover the source of the "Gods Civilization" so simply.
He wondered if there was an opportunity to make good use of it.
Numerous ideas formed in Shen Shi’s mind at this moment.
Yet he continued to focus on "spying" on the high-spec meeting within the Cosmic Civilization.
"According to the records of the Gods, our star system should be incapable of such leaps." The Pope sat beside King Yu, though he voluntarily retreated half a step, his status remained transcendently above everyone else beneath King Yu.
