CHAPTER 373: CHAPTER 227: MURDER, ARSON, AND GOLDEN BELT

There’s no denying that, regardless of the different intelligent life forms and the varying levels of civilization, the basic instincts of life remain consistent.

The Anan Civilization, when facing a life-or-death crisis, can swiftly abandon everything else.

However, such decisiveness is partly related to the characteristics of the Anan Civilization itself, with which Shen Shi is not familiar. After all, in the distant future three thousand years from now, the Anan Civilization has already perished in this pillage, yet its basic traits he understands.

The consciousness carrier of each individual within the civilization forms a massive "civilization brain," thereby abandoning personal emotions in favor of the greatest common interest.

Thus, the choice of the Anan Civilization at this moment was no surprise to Shen Shi.

And this, likewise, provided a reason to interfere.

After all, the Human Civilization currently plays the role of a Divine Dao Civilization, and as a Divine Dao Civilization, it must exude an air of supremacy.

"This is your honor!"

Shen Shi once again conveyed his consciousness across the battlefield in an imposing manner.

Simultaneously, golden, dazzling warships rushed out unabashedly from the Winter.

Leading the fleet were the uniformed hundred B-level battleships Shen Shi brought.

Though only of B1 Level, lacking the overwhelmingly powerful phase armor on the surface, they far exceeded the technology level of C-class, showing no restraint!

This is the swagger a Divine Dao Civilization should possess!

Seeing this, the fleet of the Anan Civilization charged madly, trying to successfully deliver the main battleship, the core of their civilization, before this "master." With the characteristics of a Divine Dao Civilization, offering loyalty and risking treasure can likely lead to survival.

Conversely, in sharp contrast to the Anan Civilization’s frantic survival attempt, the command center of the pillagers was undeniably oppressive.

"Where did this Divine Dao Civilization come from?"

The commander of the pillagers was a Master of Primordial Energy from a destroyed civilization, named "Shu Realm."

Normally, such a Primordial Energy Master would be basically considered useless.

Strongest perhaps than some Primordial Energy Masters who had yet to reach mastery, but with limited strength. A Primordial Energy Master served as a civilization’s trump card due to the assistance from the entire civilization and the civilization-level Energy Device.

A Primordial Energy Master, robbed of civilization, was merely a slightly stronger individual.

Nonetheless, Shu Realm found hope in Gus Land.

It was a technology unknown and unimaginable to ordinary civilizations, where under a certain cost, a Primordial Energy Master’s perception of race could be altered. Though such changes came with certain after-effects, like hindering further progress, it was a significant transformation for a Master of Primordial Energy who lost his civilization.

Thus, Shu Realm became a "henchman" in Gus Land.

This operation was due to the attention from his "boss" behind the scenes toward this relic.

Although such an affair violates the known rules, it aligns with the hidden rules.

Nonetheless, what should have been a certain task was now thwarted by this suddenly appearing Divine Dao Civilization.

If it fails...

Knowing Anan has no retreat, they genuinely harnessed the Primordial Energy Master’s flexibility, directly communicating to the Anan Civilization: "Hand over that relic, I’ll let all the remaining leave, I can imprint a Primordial Energy Steel Seal to prove my sincerity."

Indeed, compared to losing everything, merely losing this remnant civilization but acquiring the relic meant his task was still complete, albeit imperfectly.

Once Shu Realm quickly imprinted the Primordial Energy Steel Seal, the Anan Civilization made a decision as promptly as when they decided to submit just now.

That was to hand over the relic and then depart with the larger fleet!

After all, the strength exhibited by the Divine Dao Civilization at this moment, though vastly superior and comparable to some small B-level civilization fleets, was not genuinely a B-level Civilization, making departure more advantageous than submission.

However, just as they were preparing, a sound suddenly echoed within their civilization brain.

"The Celestial Court will not forgive traitors!"

This contained absolute confidence and authority.

Betraying after allegiance, this was an unforgivable act among most Divine Dao Civilizations.

An affront to the core culture of a Divine Dao Civilization.

The characteristics of Divine Dao Civilization involve myriad elements concerning core interests under its cultural influence.

Including authority, aura, and dignity...

Thus, in that instant, Anan hesitated.

As long as there was balance.

The Celestial Court seemed capable of effortlessly eavesdropping on their conversation with the pillagers, giving instant warnings, suggesting their information technology was vastly superior. Moreover, if truly encircled at all costs by the opponent, the possibility of Anan’s core warship escaping was indeed slim.

The crucial advantage and disadvantage of the core warship lies here.

Nearly all individual remnants of the civilization gathered in one place, the benefit was that as long as this warship escaped, the civilization’s loss could be minimized.
