CHAPTER 359: CHAPTER 220: STARRY ERA YEAR 50

With the power and resources of Sage Saint Shen Shi in the Future World, supporting a civilization newly entering C-level is not a difficult task.

In fact, Shen Shi has also attempted to bring some powerful warships back to the modern world. However, unlike the past, these B-level warships did not bring positive changes to the future as they did before.

Just think carefully, and you can find the reason.

The level of human civilization three thousand years later is no longer constrained by military force.

Instead, it’s technology and development.

That is why bringing back Cosmic People is useful, and the Primordial Energy World is also useful, but providing a series of weapons and equipment can no longer dramatically change the future like it initially did.

Because of this, Shen Shi has been gradually investing warships, weapons, and various powerful military devices into Line 1 of the Future.

The twenty B-level warships deployed at once are merely conventional forces, not even considered hidden cards.

"With these warships, we can completely retreat from the Daike People this time!"

Gong Chu’s gaze also grew solemn, "After retreating, three scenarios might occur. One, the Daike People abandon their ambush on us and withdraw, but given the distance between us, unless the Daike People are willing to abandon their Mother Star and move their entire population, one side between us must face extinction.

Two, the Daike People continue to invest more resources to launch the next round of attacks against us. Under the circumstance that we clearly display support from a B-level civilization, the scale of the Daike People’s assault will be unprecedentedly large, and they may even temporarily abandon other battlefields to concentrate all their firepower in a bid to annihilate us, their greatest threat.

Three, the Daike People are uncertain of the origin and intensity of our support. There is a great possibility they might seek help from the Es Civilization like other B-level civilizations. If it is the third point, the situation is most critical, but it also aligns with your objective, Commander, to investigate the Es Civilization."

Gong Chu’s speech clearly elucidates the three potential scenarios that may unfold afterward.

In reality, other situations might arise.

But broadly speaking, it’s just a matter of retreating, aggressively attacking, or seeking aid.

Shen Shi furrowed his eyebrows slightly.

Honestly, with the cards he currently holds, combined with the foundation of human civilization on Line 1 of the Future, even if the Daike People indeed launch a full-scale attack intending to win completely in one battle, Shen Shi still feels somewhat confident in resisting.

However, if the Es Civilization truly intervenes at this moment...

The uncertainty increases.

Even though the main purpose of supporting Line 1 of the Future is to investigate information about the Es Civilization, the value of the information must also be considered. If the Es Civilization intervenes directly causing the destruction of human civilization, then it would be a colossal loss.

Of course, while this possibility is not absent, it is quite unlikely.

The Es Civilization in this star domain indeed appears "benevolent" and hasn’t directly destroyed a C-level civilization for a long time. Certainly, civilizations lower than C-level have no status within the Mude System.

"How is the relationship between the Daike Civilization and the Es Civilization?" Shen Shi asked.

"Very good," Gong Chu replied softly.

Although there was no change in his expression, the emotions couldn’t lie, and it was evident that Gong Chu was most concerned about this matter in the battle.

This even reminded Shen Shi of the initial resistance against the Worren Fleet.

Even though he no longer feared the Worren, the threat from the Daike Civilization was still unavoidable. Within such a vast system, until reaching the top of the pyramid, true safety is never guaranteed.

"During this period, you should have captured many high-ranking Daike People. Bring one over here, and I’ll personally extract the information from his consciousness. Also, hand over all the information you’ve gathered to me," Shen Shi said.

Forty years ago, the Daike Civilization was still overwhelmingly strong and immeasurable to human civilization.

One was a civilization nearing the pinnacle of C-level, already capable of creating C9 level devices, while the other was a civilization that had barely just entered C-level despite exhausting all efforts. Their strengths were completely unequal. If Gong Chu hadn’t appeared, and the Daike People weren’t distracted by other battlefields, coupled with the continuous stream of support provided by Shen Shi which could always await as the hidden cards, this war wouldn’t have reached this point.

However, after forty years, the high-ranking members of human civilization no longer feared the Daike People.

Naturally, this is because they are no longer unknown to the Daike People.

Continuous captives provided endless information—about the Daike People’s technology, their system, their advantages and weaknesses—all gradually becoming clear. Conversely, the Daike People began to feel threatened by the endless changes in human civilization, and began to fear the unknown.

This reverse situation indicates that humans have already occupied the strategic advantage.

Thus, Gong Chu and others started to have the mindset to tackle the "threat" posed by the Es Civilization.

And when Shen Shi saw the utterly despondent Daike People general, he already had gained considerable information from the intelligence collected by Gong Chu.

At this moment, Shen Shi couldn’t be bothered with idle talk and directly took control of the consciousness of this Daike People general.
