CHAPTER 411: CHAPTER 246: REBELLION AGAINST THE PASTURE MASTER

Either break through limitations and crises to become stronger, or be annihilated.

When ignoring the comparison of strength, Human Civilization actually made this choice once at the end of the Earth Star Era.

So this time, their choice is still essentially the same.

However, Shen Shi is very aware that some things have ultimately changed. He should give humanity more time to prepare for this war, even though the decisive place of the war was actually three thousand years ago.

Therefore, after delivering a heavy blow to all the legislators in the meeting and regaining the highest authority of Human Civilization, Shen Shi’s approach began to soften.

Indeed, he expelled Kennen from the Standing Members and took his position but did not target another integrationist legislator.

He even dispatched this legislator to negotiate with the Es Civilization, indicating that humanity is not entirely resistant to integration.

"At this moment, Es Civilization has become more aggressive for unknown reasons. It is impossible for us to confront Es Civilization directly. We lack the strength and conditions," Shen Shi emphasized in the small meeting of Standing Members, "So we must be prepared psychologically to temporarily succumb."

"Once we succumb, it will be difficult to change," a legislator couldn’t help saying.

Es Civilization is not foolish.

In this world, it is already impossible to rely on so-called schemes to change the outcome of conflicts at this level of civilization.

Not to mention the powerful Es Civilization.

Even if an ordinary human possesses a smart superbrain, it can make the most reasonable analysis under existing conditions.

Es Civilization cannot overlook the intentions of Human Civilization, nor will it give Human Civilization any opportunity for "feigned surrender."

However, Shen Shi could not reveal the trump card of altering the timeline.

So he still had to entrust everything to the "Star Sea System."

"Do not worry, I have already communicated with the Star Sea System," Shen Shi said, "As long as we, the high-level authorities who hold power, adhere to our principles and protect our culture, even if the majority of human civilization has integrated into it, everything can still be changed."

The rest, including Gong Chu, all looked at each other.

This sounded unbelievable and completely insecure.

However, the Star Sea Company has always been like this!

As a Sage Saint, if Shen Shi, a staunch opponent of integration, has such confidence, then they have nothing to say.

Because if even the Sage Saint had already surrendered, humans would have surrendered a long time ago, and there would have been no need for this journey.

"In that case, we should strive for the greatest benefit!" Gong Chu suddenly said.

"That’s right, this is actually the theme of this meeting," Shen Shi nodded, "So next, our main task will focus on negotiations, and we have a very obvious capital, which is our representativeness!"

Indeed, Human Civilization holds representativeness.

At this time, Human Civilization is not the same as Human Civilization three thousand years ago. Humanity’s strength is firmly positioned on the frontline below the B-level Civilization. Not to mention the entire Mude System, at least in the entire Galaxy, under B-level Civilization, there are very few civilizations that can compare with Human Civilization.

Moreover.

Human Civilization is also the civilization that resists B-level Civilization the most fiercely.

It is also the civilization with the least influence from B-level Civilization.

All this is thanks to Shen Shi, the Sage Saint.

Because of Shen Shi’s existence, Human Civilization has come this far in such a short time. Looking at the entire Mude System, it is unique. Its recognition of and pride in its culture should have reached a peak. Coupled with the steadfast attitude of Shen Shi, who has a profound influence on the entire civilization, Human Civilization has not been too culturally invaded by Es Civilization.

Otherwise, there would be no qualifications to choose.

Therefore, Human Civilization, to Es Civilization, is one of the most important and toughest bones to chew.

According to Shen Shi, there are even some powerful civilizations that are vaguely aware of the inside story and hope that Human Civilization can stand out and jointly form an Alliance, which could, to some extent, have the capital to confront Es Civilization.

Such factors are also one of the reasons why Es Civilization suddenly became hardline towards Human Civilization.

Therefore, if humanity truly wishes to surrender, it can certainly fetch a good price.

"Focus on technology, we need more technical support, strong weaponry, and relative independence! It would be best to lift all quotas and restrictions on commercial transactions..." Shen Shi proposed a series of demands.

In the ancient times of Human Civilization, they would be giving up being Emperor but demanding to be a vassal, while also seeking advantageous trade, clearly not willing to give up the possibility of rebelling to become Emperor again.

This condition sounds excessive, but proposing it now is most fitting.

Not only because Es Civilization needs it.

But also because the highest authority of Human Civilization has already changed, and as the Sage Saint and a staunch opponent of integration, is back in power, if these demands are not tough, it would be hard for Es Civilization to believe that the Sage Saint would surrender.
