CHAPTER 409: CHAPTER 245: THE RETURN OF THE STAR SEA SYSTEM

Shen Shi’s demeanor was extremely imposing, and he indeed had the qualifications for such imposing authority.

Just as he said, a civilization-level Primordial Energy Device like the Primordial Energy World was designed from the beginning to serve the supreme strong person within a civilization, within a race. Only when the strength of the entire race is concentrated in one person can the strongest primordial energy of that race truly be unleashed.

This is the core meaning of a civilization-level Primordial Energy Device.

However, that’s the theory.

But under normal circumstances, this "Supreme" should be elected from within the civilization, much like Sage Saint Shen Shi of the past.

But what is Shen Shi doing now?

He relies on absolute power, so strong that it suppresses the primordial energy of all the other members!

Under such absolute power, there’s no need for so-called authority!

This situation, which theoretically holds a possibility, in reality, is almost impossible, yet it happened just like that.

To put it bluntly,

If someone possesses such power, even without the Primordial Energy World, without relying on such a primordial energy device, they have the ability and qualification to gradually devour and encompass the consciousness of the entire civilization!

And regardless of whether others accept it, this has already become a reality.

Kennen and another surrendering standing member currently radiated extremely complex emotions.

In comparison to emotions like loss and struggle, what they felt now was primarily a lack of understanding.

"You have such powerful strength, yet that doesn’t mean you are absolutely correct!" Kennen seemed to want to struggle, "At the beginning of the Starry Era, your power stemmed from such strength, but everyone knows the result; when you failed the first time, we suffered a major blow, and now, if you fail again, human civilization might truly fall into a desperate situation!"

His words stirred unrest in the hearts of some members.

Frankly speaking, in the current human civilization, the surrendering faction, or rather the integration faction, is more dominant.

For the same reason as Kennen.

These people are not traitors to humanity, but from a perspective of interest and reality, they believe that integration into the Es Civilization is the best choice for humanity at this moment, and choosing to resist is likely to bring destruction to humanity.

Reality and interest, are also the eternal reality in this vast cosmos.

So these members do not think they are wrong.

But at this moment, Shen Shi’s consciousness once again delved into the emotions of every member.

"If my choice leads human civilization into a desperate situation, then let it be."

Such a crystal-clear consciousness completely ignited the emotions of the entire meeting.

Even Kennen now showed an expression of disbelief.

Just because Shen Shi’s consciousness was as if he didn’t consider the life and death of the entire civilization to be anything significant.

"Is it difficult to understand?"

At this moment, Shen Shi had already retrieved the highest authority of the Primordial Energy World, the consciousness and emotions of every member, and even every human within the scope of the Primordial Energy World, were continuously converging towards him.

It must be said that the current human civilization, whether high-level or ordinary people, is vastly different from the human civilization three thousand years ago.

But since Shen Shi decided to stand out, he must strive to bring it back to the right path.

"At the beginning of the Starry Era, when I just returned to Blue Star, why did human civilization not choose to rely on the Worren Civilization, accept the Worren Civilization’s control and breeding?" Shen Shi focused his consciousness on a certain member, "Tell me, why?"

This was a very old human member.

Because he was from the first generation.

Although human lifespan had become infinitely long during the Starry Era, people changed, especially in abilities and mentality. Over three thousand years, countless members were eliminated for not keeping up with the times, and countless newcomers arrived here to become one of the leaders of human civilization, yet there were still a few people who stood here from beginning to end, maintaining their development and progress alongside the entire civilization.

At this moment, Shen Shi was questioning such a person.

It is worth mentioning that.

He was also of the integration faction.

Being under the focus of Shen Shi at this moment, this person was not exaggerating, he transmitted his consciousness and said, "At that time and now are not the same, being made into primordial energy batteries is something that any civilization cannot accept, but integrating into the Es Civilization is not necessarily a bad result, we may lose something, but we also gained more."

This is also the consciousness of many people; they even didn’t know why Shen Shi brought up the beginning of the Starry Era, because in their view, the two indeed differed.

But, are they really different?

"Neither leads to complete extinction, but both lead to losing your culture, losing your freedom, why do you think they’re different?" Shen Shi’s voice remained calm, but his stance was conveyed extremely clearly, "Or do you think being devoured by the Es Civilization is not the same as being turned into a primordial energy battery? Or do you think becoming a primordial energy battery is not the same as being immersed in false emotions?"

"..." The member didn’t speak further.

This wasn’t the first time the issue was raised, opponents to the integration faction had long opposed the fate of integrating into the Es Civilization.
