CHAPTER 346: CHAPTER 213: HEADING TO FUTURE LINE NO. 1_2

But on the Grotto Heaven, they were unable to resist.

Violence was prohibited here, and even self-harm wasn’t allowed. Who could surpass the Pope and the many followers of the Divine Court in the power of language?

Moreover, once one believed in the new myth, it meant they could easily accept everything in front of them. Even if it was just an instinct to escape, it was enough to gradually transform the Cosmic People.

Thus, more and more people accepted the new myth and new faith.

This further accelerated the change in belief.

As more Cosmic People arrived at the Grotto Heaven, their fear disappeared rapidly. The transformation of belief even began spreading beyond the Grotto Heaven, across the entire Cosmic Civilization. In some places, the Cosmic People even scrambled to board the spaceship and come to this planet representing the Lord of the Gods to receive the honor bestowed by the Lord of the Gods.

Shen Shi knew that the fate of the Cosmic People was already sealed.

From the bits of information he just obtained, it seemed clear that even in the world three thousand years hence, the Cosmic People remained the most loyal servant civilization of humanity, having reached the level of a C-level Civilization, assisting the Human Civilization in managing the vast Star Domain.

"The turning point brought by the Star System Fortress has ended." Shen Shi contemplated, "Where is the next turning point... at the very least, the Human Civilization in three thousand years must become a true B-level Civilization."

In the Future World, the Human Civilization’s true ability to reach the B-level domain relied on the support of the B-level Civilization Es.

However, Shen Shi felt uneasy about this.

It wasn’t due to a sudden impulse, or instinct, but simply from distrust of the Mude System.

"Three-Day Civilization..." Shen Shi suddenly whispered the name of another civilization.

This is a B-level civilization specializing in Primordial Energy Technology, particularly powerful in Primordial Energy Devices. The World Tree in Shen Shi’s mind is from this civilization, and even many powerful Primordial Energy Devices he had three thousand years later were like this. The Three-Day Civilization seems eager to trade and sell their devices externally, similar to the B-level civilization that supports the Human Civilization in the Future World.

But more importantly.

For the Human Civilization in the Future World, it seemed easier to acquire technologies and devices from the Three-Day Civilization.

Perhaps, the new turning point could be found here.

"I should spend some time, and first gather more intelligence about the Future World, especially regarding B-level Civilizations," Shen Shi eventually chose a more cautious approach.

Due to travel time, moving the entire Cosmic Civilization to the Grotto Heaven would require approximately three years.

After all, considering the capacity of those transport ships, three years is already quite rapid.

And those three years would pass in a blink of an eye.

The King Yu was the last to arrive.

He was already aware of the new myth crafted by the Pope, but as Shen Shi initially said, the King Yu was actually more receptive than the Pope. Although he hadn’t imprinted the Primordial Energy Steel Seal, whether in Shen Shi’s judgment or in the intelligence from the Future World, the King Yu remained a "loyal" servant to the Human Civilization, at least as long as the Human Civilization remains stronger than the Cosmic Civilization, this fact would never change.

The Grotto Heaven finally began its return.

It took thirteen years to arrive, but the return trip wouldn’t take nearly as long.

The reason is simple; Shen Shi had upgraded the engine on the Grotto Heaven.

In the current Future World, although still at the C-level, the ties with B-level civilizations are closer, meaning that even without the Gus Land and the Collector, it was easy enough to obtain B-level devices, and once Shen Shi acquired the status of Sage Saint of the Future World, acquiring resources became much easier.

This more powerful Jump Engine was just a small test.

Thus, in a matter of a few days.

The Grotto Heaven appeared in the Solar System.

The Human Civilization was startled, but they had already grown accustomed to Shen Shi occasionally bringing out even more powerful devices and technologies, shattering original plans.

And when they learned that the Cosmic Civilization now regarded humans as their new faith, they were forced to alter the original plan.

—In the short term, contact between humans and Cosmic People must be reduced to establish mystique.

"I will personally oversee and begin building the Star System Fortress from the outermost rim," Shen Shi stated, "This will take about three hundred years, but these three hundred years will be a period of rapid growth for human civilization, at least by the time of extensive contact with the Cosmic People, we must have an identity that befits the ’Lord of the Gods.’

"Understood!" The parliamentary representative present had a grave expression.

Thus, the Human Civilization, including the Cosmic Civilization, entered a truly busy period henceforth.

Many basic industrial production devices Shen Shi brought back from the Number One Future Line began to take effect, under the laborious efforts of Cosmic People as a cheap labor force.

With support from both the Pope and the King Yu, combined with the faith deeply rooted in Cosmic culture, there was little to worry about.

Once things were on track, Shen Shi began to focus on another matter.

That was the differentiation of an awareness avatar.

Of course, it was for the Number One Future Line.

Though the assistances brought by the Number One Future Line to modern human society seem far outpaced by the continuously evolving, continuously strengthening Number Two Future Line, it nonetheless doesn’t mean Shen Shi would abandon this future line. Not only because they are also part of human civilization, or because they contributed significant early discoveries for modern human society, but also Shen Shi’s hard-earned status in this future line, and the power as a C-level civilization, which cannot be overlooked.

Moreover, they are growing as well, and with Shen Shi’s assistance, they would inevitably grow faster than modern society.

That’s a foundation laid over three thousand years.

Three years after bringing the Cosmic People back to the Solar System, Shen Shi eventually succeeded in differentiating an awareness avatar, which couldn’t be considered some kind of Primordial Energy Technology. It seemed more like a result brought by the Time Crystal, looking at it from Shen Shi’s perspective, as if pulling out another self from a timeline not currently aligned with the present one, thus enabling travel through the Cosmos to reach another timeline, even if it was an independent one.

In summary.

At the current moment, Shen Shi drifted quietly in the Cosmos.

He was able to see the orange-red sun, and also see the blue Blue Star enveloped entirely by layers of defense.

This was the Number One Future Line.

The Human Civilization had entered the highest level of war defense status; they were facing the Daike Civilization, which was approaching the pinnacle of a C-level, and the disparity in power between the two was quite significant, yet humans had managed to hold out for over thirty years.

Shen Shi’s gaze narrowed slightly.

The awareness avatar was a product derived from time, thus at this moment he possessed everything of the main body, including the B-level Life Evolution Device obtained in the past three years, now fully concealed, making detection by the Human Civilization of the Number One Future Line impossible.

Conversely, Shen Shi could clearly sense a certain power condensed within this Star System.

That was Gong Chu.

"As expected, stationed within the civilization-level Primordial Energy Device twenty-four hours a day." Shen Shi pondered for a moment, then suddenly released his consciousness, unabashedly delving into Gong Chu’s awareness.

"Who?"

Gong Chu’s voice abruptly emerged, yet the conveyed emotions swiftly transformed from caution and alertness to surprise.

"Captain?"

Had it not been for the already imprinted Primordial Energy Steel Seal, and firmly remembering the Captain’s consciousness, Gong Chu would have hardly believed his own perception.

It wasn’t merely the sudden arrival of the Captain who altered the fate of the entire Human Civilization that was surprising, but the realization, that the Captain was actually a Master of Primordial Energy?
