CHAPTER 360: CHAPTER 220: STARRY ERA YEAR 50_2

"When did you first encounter the Es Civilization?"

"After biotechnology first broke through to the C9 level in the microscopic field, the Es Civilization formally made contact..." The Daike general dug through every bit of information in his brain to answer Shen Shi’s question.

After they became a C-level civilization and began to dominate this star domain, they already knew of the existence of the more powerful B-level civilizations and understood that they belonged to the Es Civilization. However, over a long period of time, the Daike Civilization did not find even the slightest trace of the Es Civilization—neither people nor locations; even sending people to look yielded no results. Only when delivering tributes could they see immensely powerful spaceships, but beyond that, there was not much contact.

So for a long time, the Es Civilization, the B-level civilization, was just a code name in the impression of the Daike Civilization.

A code representing the authority of the Mude System.

A code that regularly accepted large tributes.

This situation continued until the Daike Civilization experienced a technological breakthrough. It was then that the envoys of the Es Civilization officially arrived. Although only two people and one spaceship, they brought advanced technology for the Daike Civilization’s breakthrough area, a domain beyond imagination, a fundamentally different technological level.

This is also the reason Gong Chu determined that "the Daike Civilization maintains good relations with the Es Civilization."

Technical support has been provided; how could the relationship not be good?

Even the Daike people themselves promoted this view.

However, humanity on the first future timeline, including Gong Chu, was severely limited in their understanding of B-level civilizations due to their own arbitrary nature. Not to mention B-level civilizations, they hardly knew of any C-level civilizations.

But Shen Shi knew!

In the first future timeline, human civilization was treated the same way, and similarly, after defeating the Daike Civilization and making a significant breakthrough in a key technology, they welcomed the Es Civilization delegation.

"This is a system, a rule," Shen Shi murmured.

It could be basically confirmed that B-level civilizations, at least the Es Civilization, were using a certain rule to support C-level civilizations.

Although the purpose was still unclear, if this rule was rigorous, it could use the second future timeline to predict the actions of the Es Civilization.

"Was that technology achieved with support?" Shen Shi asked this question.

And he got the answer from the Daike general’s mind.

—No!

The gap was here.

Support was provided to different civilizations, but some successfully used the Es Civilization’s support to make breakthroughs in technology, while others failed.

The potential of the Daike Civilization was already exhausted!

Shen Shi believed the Es Civilization would make such a judgment.

"The third possibility can be ruled out—the Es Civilization will not act against us for the Daike Civilization, even if we exhibit support from a B-level civilization," Shen Shi said.

Although it was just speculation, it was a conclusion for Shen Shi, who had more information.

Gong Chu naturally chose to trust him.

"If that’s the case..." He calculated frantically in his mind, "the Daike Civilization can be wiped out in at most one thousand three hundred years."

"Too late," Shen Shi said, "In at most five hundred years, I want to see results."

"That requires further support," Gong Chu said.

"I will," Shen Shi replied.

In Shen Shi’s view, supporting the first future timeline was much easier than supporting modern society.

Because the human civilization on the first future timeline had already laid an excellent foundation.

They had the population, the system, the experience, and the preliminary equipment.

Whether it was providing advanced technology or powerful devices, they could absorb it like a sponge.

Therefore, under Shen Shi’s full support, five hundred years was actually a conservative estimate.

At this moment, Shen Shi’s perception of time seemed to have changed.

Ten years, twenty years, fifty years, a hundred years...

A once incredibly long life during the Earth Star Period now seemed short.

It felt as if it would pass quickly.

But this was actually beneficial. After all, regardless of which world line’s human civilization, the most lacking element now was the sediment of time. Especially the modern world, where rushing could be adverse, as it was the time to lay foundations.

"The battleship will be traded to you in the market exchange. If any urgent problem arises, don’t contact this avatar, but reach out directly through the market terminal to the main body," Shen Shi left this message to Gong Chu before departing directly.

In the first future timeline, Shen Shi didn’t need to handle everything personally, especially in war matters. He only needed to strategize the overall situation and provide key devices. Everything else could be confidently left to the human race of the first future timeline; if they failed, then even under his direct command, success wouldn’t be guaranteed.

According to the history of the second future timeline, the modern world would need at least eight hundred more years to reach this point—that was the day Sage Saint Shen Shi left the front lines.

Shen Shi organized his thoughts in his room and then focused on the Primordial Energy World.

The entire real world had become extremely quiet.

Because the vast majority of people had immersed their consciousness in the Primordial Energy World.

Even factories had stopped production—labor activities were entirely handed over to the Cosmic People, while human workers were learning more advanced production techniques and conducting more comprehensive and realistic simulation training in the Primordial Energy World.

"The Starry Era has already passed more than fifty years." Shen Shi looked at countless humans in the Primordial Energy World, all working hard and growing, with an indescribable sense of satisfaction.

In just fifty years, human civilization had undergone tremendous changes.

Population, technology, culture, strength...

Everything had reached the level of a D-level, not far behind the human civilization that he first visited three thousand years into the future. In fact, they might catch up in just over a hundred more years.

A hundred and fifty years to travel a path that originally took three thousand years.

This was the miracle created by him and the Time Crystal!

"The next step should be to further cultivate the selected promising talents," Shen Shi murmured.

He then released the pre-set "new version of the Primordial Energy World."

At this moment, everyone in the Primordial Energy World could clearly hear the notification directly entering their consciousness.

"Human civilization rankings in various fields updated!"

This was a list that evaluated and ranked everyone’s personal strength in different fields using the Primordial Energy World’s supercomputing power. It was a form of internal competition and also an important incentive measure that Shen Shi planned in advance based on experience from the future line.

At this time, people all over the world were discussing.

"First in the music ranking, Ai Xin’Er, Eastern Country. This name seems familiar—I remember now, isn’t that Madam Shen?"

"Top of the Primordial Energy ranking is indeed the Master of Primordial Energy, and second is General Chen Feng? Hiss, General Chen Feng is that strong?"

"Macrotechnology research ranking, Researcher Mr. Zhao successfully achieved information transference in the laboratory... Isn’t this C-level technology?"

"I know Dr. Zhao! I saw his name in a dungeon of the Xia Zuo Civilization, where he’s already a minor celebrity genius researcher specializing in macrotechnology!"

"..."

This ranking was more of an honor and stimulus, telling all of humanity that they could achieve their value through effort.

The current human civilization had the best platform!

And updates like this were not the first time.

After all, Shen Shi, holding the future in his hands, could always know what improvements would benefit the development of human civilization and what errors would hinder it.
