CHAPTER 552: CHAPTER 551: EXPERIENCED SYSTEM

"We are discussing the civilizational system implemented after cooperation, right?"

Degenerate Civilization said: "Since this civilizational system is used after cooperation, it means that the system needs to face and solve the diverse situations of multiple civilizations and cultures mixed together. If you observe carefully, only the Wandering Alliance among the civilizations present is a composite of multiple civilizations and cultures. This means that the communal system used by the Wandering Alliance has already solved the problem of integrating multiple civilizations and cultures. This is the second advantage we’re studying: an experienced communal system can effectively resolve the issues of coexistence and integration of multiple civilizations and cultures, greatly saving our energy and time to deal with the backlash crisis, buying us more time."

"You are being somewhat unfair with your words. Our Black Hole Civilization is also formed from several different racial civilizations, why is it only the Wandering Alliance?"

Following the Black Hole Civilization, the Pure Elemental Celestials also stated: "We must disagree. Although we Pure Elemental Celestials have not absorbed other civilizations, we have also created different life races whose cultures are different too. Thus, it’s not just the Wandering Alliance that is a collection of multiple civilizations and cultures, nor is the communal system the only solution for integrating multiple civilizations. Our civilizational system is also well-tested!"

"I don’t deny that; you’ve managed to survive until now, so your system must have its standout features!"

Degenerate Civilization responded: "But you are overlooking one point, your situation is actually entirely different from that of the Wandering Alliance, and dissimilar from what we are about to face."

"Take your Black Hole Civilization for example; indeed, you have absorbed several civilizations, but your integration premise is based entirely on converting life into the primitive state of Intention. This means that you actually haven’t experienced the reconciliation of conflicts from multiple civilizations and cultures, because any civilization that had a conflicting ideology with you, I’m afraid, might have been eliminated. The civilizations selected through this method inherently have cultural ideals similar to yours and do not require much integration. Your so-called integration is actually achieved through forceful methods by converting all life crudely into the same state. Although we might also develop in this direction after cooperation, before making a decision, you want other civilizations to completely convert all life into another state, which I think few would agree to. Therefore, we must consider the survival and integration of different civilizations and lives, but your regime clearly lacks this practical experience and validation."

Degenerate Civilization continued: "Regarding the Eight Great Races created by the Pure Elemental Celestials, the matter forming their life basis indeed differs, but actually, under the influence of your pure elemental ideology, the core values of the Eight Great Races are consistent. This can be seen as each race maintains elemental independence, and there is no discussion of integration in this process."

"However, the Wandering Alliance is different. Currently, the Wandering Alliance consists of seven great civilizations, all coexisting harmoniously with different states of life and cultural customs. It should be noted that before joining the Wandering Alliance, many of these civilizations had wars and various contradictions, yet after joining, they could coexist harmoniously. This is the civilizational system our soon-to-be-formed Advanced Life Community requires!"

Degenerate Civilization concluded: "From our research, it is known that the communal system can firstly resolve the distribution issue, ensuring relatively fair resource allocation to each civilization; secondly, the communal system has already experienced the test of integrating multiple civilizations and cultures, possessing rich experience in this area, surely capable of dealing with some issues we may face in the future. Therefore, considering the bigger picture, our Degenerate Civilization recommends the communal system as the civilizational system after cooperation!"

"I think your research by the Degenerate Civilization is too subjective; we cannot agree!" stated Black Hole Civilization.

Degenerate Civilization asked: "Please state your reasons!"

"Simply put, you say our Black Hole hasn’t truly integrated multiple civilizations and cultures, it’s by a selection mechanism finding civilizations with similar ideologies, which we do not deny, and it seems true from facts. But isn’t the Wandering Alliance the same? According to intelligence we’ve obtained, the civilizations recruited by the Wandering Alliance were also selected, and many who disagreed with their principles were also eradicated. How is their integration of multiple civilizations different from ours?"

Black Hole Civilization sounded quite dissatisfied.

Degenerate Civilization explained: "Of course there is a difference, you directly convert all life into the primitive state of Intention, lacking the conflicts of physical bodies during the integration process, at most having only ideological unity and integration. Despite technological developments allowing fifth-level civilizations to increasingly disregard the importance of the physical body, when life forms of different states, shapes, and dietary structures gather, they incite more contradictions and conflicts than imaginable, especially since those civilizations in the Wandering Alliance harbored hatred before integration, indicating the difficulty of the Wandering Alliance’s integration. Your method, Black Hole Civilization, undoubtedly erases the conflicts of bodily integration, focusing on ideological integration, cunningly avoiding major conflict sources, but in essence, this phenomenon represents oppression by a higher-level civilization over a lower-level one. In interactions between civilizations of different strengths, lower-level civilizations always end up compromising to higher-level ones."

"Whether in material aspects or in ideological aspects."

Degenerate Civilization continued: "But we are all fifth-level civilizations, who would easily compromise? Plus, you want us to unequivocally convert all life directly into the primitive state of Intention, which is too risky, and we cannot agree. If these issues are not resolved, conflicts will inevitably erupt, possibly causing a split or creating opposing factions."

"Throughout history, we can see that any dynasty’s downfall fundamentally stems from uneven distribution. Although some dynasties seem to collapse due to turmoil and wars, the essence of turmoil and wars is actually the struggle for resource benefits. The appearance of such large-scale struggles for resources already indicates a problem with the system’s distribution model, and if not reformed, destruction is inevitable. Coming back to us, if we don’t properly solve the distribution issue, heading towards division and dissolution is inevitable. I hope everyone pays close attention to this, especially since we are currently facing an unprecedented crisis, leaving us little room for mistakes and trials."

The interests of resources in the real world aren’t confined to wealth.

They include living space, land, recyclable natural resources, and scientific technology, as well as cultural and legislative dominance, and the power of discourse—essentially, everything related to sustaining life becomes resources humans contend for.

"You make a good point..."

At this point, the Pure Elemental Celestials suddenly spoke: "We also agree that genuine integration is necessary, but whether through a communal system or through the exercise of power, the results of integration are the same, so the process isn’t important. What matters more is how quickly integration can be achieved especially with the intensifying Cosmic Crisis. Therefore from the goal-oriented perspective, we still insist on using our Pure Elemental Celestials’ civilizational system, because our strength is the strongest among all fifth-level civilizations, and our experience is the most abundant. You just cooperate with us, follow our arrangements, trust us, we can definitely achieve multi-civilizational integration faster than the communal system!"
