CHAPTER 393: CHAPTER 237: ALL FOR HUMANITY

In fact, Shen Shi never expected Yulan to propose this suggestion.

This was indeed his original plan.

The reason is simple, this alliance emerged a thousand three hundred years later, led by a newly joined C-level Peak Civilization in Gus Land. Unexpectedly, Gus Land agreed to the alliance’s demands, not only raising transaction prices but also not taking any actions afterward. This directly allowed the leading new civilization to establish a foothold shortly after arriving in Gus Land and gain substantial benefits.

This can be considered one of the future opportunities.

Although the situation from thirteen hundred years ago may not be the same now, aside from the passive response format of the past, seeking development and change in a short time without risking anything is impossible. Moreover, the turning point of this action is not instantaneous; the future will continually change along with Shen Shi’s actions from decision-making to realization, enabling Shen Shi to grasp the success of this action as much as possible.

Simply put.

The long-term future allows Shen Shi to see opportunities, while the short-term future demonstrates the possibility of seizing those opportunities.

However, being able to discover someone capable like Yulan in this process is not exactly an unexpected joy because in the future, Yulan’s performance was outstanding; he attended such meetings decades earlier than Shen Shi first paid attention to his history.

After all, for Shen Shi, who can foresee the future in a large environment, identifying outstanding talents ahead of time is merely basic operation.

Aside from Yulan, many present here were actually talented individuals unearthed by Shen Shi, ensuring their personal growth.

Under the direction provided by Shen Shi and with the efforts of this group of human elites, a seemingly impossible plan is being swiftly perfected.

Soon, a preliminary plan was crafted, and Yulan personally reported it in front of Shen Shi.

Similar to his image in the Conscious Celestial Court, Yulan appears as an elegant white-clad scholar; however, Shen Shi is well aware that beneath this attractive appearance and demeanor lurks a rather fierce and ambitious nature.

Due to differences between perceived life and actual circumstance, Yulan and a portion of the new generation of human elites are particularly eager for the strength of human civilization.

And this, to some extent, is the culture Shen Shi intentionally nurtures.

"The core of this plan is mutual benefits, isn’t it?" Shen Shi didn’t even look at the plan in front of him but directly pointed out the core.

In fact, he had already reviewed this plan in Sage Saint Shen Shi’s memory.

The advantage of Primordial Energy Mastery is that no matter how old or vague the detail, if one wishes, it can be found in the shortest possible time from memory.

"Yes, Your Majesty," Yulan maintained an extremely respectful demeanor, his emotion even faintly reflecting a somewhat fervent respect.

It felt like the modern Eastern Country People facing the ancient Yan and Huang, or the mythological Nuwa and Fu Xi.

However, Shen Shi shook his head.

"Call me Councillor Shen," he said, "not because I’m considering anything, but because I don’t want to assume responsibilities that aren’t mine. When you step into a genuine human civilization, don’t call me by such titles."

"...Understood." Despite being a Master of Primordial Energy, Yulan still felt a sense of disappointment at that moment.

Clearly, compared to the real human civilization he knows, Yulan prefers the one he perceived from an early age.

The Celestial Court governs earth, the Celestial Emperor is the ultimate authority.

This is a common issue among the new generation of humans.

However, it doesn’t impact much.

"Just tell me what you see," Shen Shi said.

"Yes." Yulan swiftly entered a working state, "As Councillor Shen mentioned, the biggest difficulty lies in Gus Land’s attitude, which is why others are reluctant to take the lead on this risky endeavor. But since we’ve decided to proceed, we need to minimize this difficulty. In Gus Land, the key is benefits, so the simple task is ensuring Gus Land obtains as much benefit as possible — that’s the relic."

Shen Shi nodded slightly.

This is indeed the principle emphasized by the future leading civilization.

No matter how "gentle" Gus Land may be, no matter how much "respect for rules" there is, ultimately you’re seeking sustenance on their territory, how can you fight for food with the Main Family who maintain order and provide sustenance?

Thus, the only chance for success is to bring certain benefits to Gus Land as well.

To achieve this, the only breakthrough lies with the relics.

This is also the greatest contribution the peripheral base can offer Gus Land in such transactions.

"As far as I know, though Gus Land conducts these transactions periodically, they do indeed acquire many relic devices, yet they don’t exchange everything. Every faction invariably stores a number of relics, since although every device and item from unknown civilizations rich in unknown technology can be called a relic, not all relics have a significant or obvious function. However, for Gus Land, the value of these relics should be more or less the same," Yulan continued.
