Chapter 315: Chapter 287: Kneeling Down, the Clouds Part and the Sun Emerges!

“`

For over a year.

For Human Civilization, which had been participating in the Civilization Trial for only about six and a half years, that was already a fairly long time.

But for the Trial itself, it was far too short.

The last milestone was the destruction of the Justice Federation, which meant that just one year and a month later, an event comparable to the destruction of the Justice Federation would occur!

“Could it be the Company Alliance, or perhaps the Great Wu Sacred Land?” Shen Hao pondered.

The reason he didn’t consider the Truth Association was that, although it was powerful, it did not have an overly vast influence.

Even if it were destroyed, it wouldn’t cause much damage to the universe.

Nevertheless, the Apocalypse was indeed intensifying.

During this period, Shen Hao, as well as many other powerful civilizations, had focused their attention on the Justice Federation.

In reality, apart from the Justice Federation, other medium and small forces, which constituted the majority in terms of population numbers, were also falling at an accelerating rate.

Especially forces like the Yodora Kingdom.

Even hundreds of Dimensional Creatures might not be able to withstand them.

It was on these medium and small forces that the true terror of the Apocalypse was fully displayed.

Countless civilizations fell overnight, numerous Spiritual Ability Users mutated, embarking on frenzied slaughters, or became Blood Food for Dimensional Creatures, wiped out in a short span of time. Even calling for help was meaningless, leaving planet after planet in ruins.

However, to some extent, the appearance of these apocalyptic tragedies was actually more advantageous for the Trial Civilizations.

Because it meant an abundance of points.

And unlike the troublesome Justice Federation, these medium and small forces weren’t strong to begin with, and even if they fell or mutated, they were not particularly difficult to deal with individually.

Shen Hao even speculated that the original method to clear this Trial was to accumulate points by relying on these fallen medium and small forces first, then survive under the onslaught of the fallen powerful forces with adequate points and ranking rewards, until the Ancient Gods fell into slumber once again.

After all, if it wasn’t for Shen Hao, a player who was like a cheat, stopping the destruction of the Justice Federation would have been nearly impossible.

That would have been a complete “Justice Federation” that had completely fallen from top to bottom, contaminated through and through.

“We need to speed up the accumulation of points!” Shen Hao thought, narrowing his eyes, “But our military strength is too weak. If we really want to compete, we may not be able to out-compete the other civilizations.”

That’s what happened in the last Justice Federation campaign.

Even though Human Civilization secured the first spot in performance value, it was thanks to a double coefficient and a fivefold increase in points!

If we talk about points, even with a fivefold increase, it was only slightly higher than those of the other civilizations.

There’s no denying it, the number of troops is there for anyone to see.

How could the efficiency of four billion troops at earning points compare to those civilizations with hundreds of billions of troops?

Regarding this, Shen Hao had a thought.

He immediately ordered the Global United Front to translate his idea into a specific proposal.

Then, he summoned the envoys of the other five civilizations to the Lingxiao Palace!

For these envoys, it was their first time laying eyes on the Chosen One.

Indeed, his reputation was well-deserved.

Each of them was a Fourth Stage Chosen One, at the very least possessing a Purple Epic Talent, and within their respective civilizations, even throughout the universe, they were Overlord Level powerhouses, immensely powerful.

Yet, the moment they stepped into Lingxiao Palace, an indescribable feeling enveloped each one of them.

This was not Suppression but a keen intuition of the strong.

Their intuition told them clearly that the powers they were proud of were minuscule and insignificant in front of this first Chosen One.

It had nothing to do with Level, but rather a more fundamental difference!

“You all know that my Talent allows me to gain Talents at a rate multiple times higher than yours,” Shen Hao began, cutting straight to the point, “but Human Civilization has limited military strength. While we can gain points multiple times faster, our efficiency is still constrained by military size. Therefore, I hope to achieve a win-win cooperation with all civilizations.”

The few chosen to be envoys of their civilizations were very astute.

Just from the beginning, they had a rough idea of Shen Hao’s purpose.

One by one, they were somewhat startled.

Such grand ambition!

Acquiring points multiple times over was already an advantage beyond their imagination, even enabling Human Civilization to take the first spot in the civilization rankings with a mere forty billion troops, and to receive extremely generous rewards.

Yet, this Emperor in front of them was not satisfied!

What win-win cooperation?

He clearly wanted to leverage their power to hoard as many points as possible for himself!

However, when Dong Gong stepped forward with a specific proposal, it left the envoys wide-eyed in astonishment.

They were to have their troops assist Human Civilization in gaining more points, with all the extra points gained to be converted into concrete resources and then doubled and provided back to them!

This meant that if they agreed to the proposal, even though their civilizations might lose the opportunity to raise their Store Level, they could obtain more resources!

Whether this was a loss or a profit was not entirely clear yet.

However, for Human Civilization, it was a bloodbath of profits, an explosive gain!

They couldn’t imagine that if this plan were really implemented, human civilization would accumulate an unimaginable amount of points during this Civilization Trial!

Fivefold, how could there be a fivefold increase?!

At this moment, each Envoy almost wanted to roar out loud.

After all, earning points fivefold was just too exaggerated. If there were a way to report in the Civilization Trial, countless Chosen Ones would definitely report!

It was simply unfair, extremely unreasonable!

But reality lay before them, and no matter how envious they were inside, they had to seriously consider this plan.

Especially the Cangling Civilization and the other two relatively weaker civilizations.

After all, having seen the cruelty of the Civilization Trial and the vast chasm between Legendary and Mythical foundations, they had no choice but to ponder the future of their own civilizations.

This time around, they were already incapable of standing at the forefront of resisting the trials.

Would they become the weakest among the participating civilizations in the next one?

Would they, like the weaker civilizations they had encountered before, meet their demise without the power to resist in the face of brutal trials?

Even if not the next time, what about the time after next?

Having lost confidence in themselves, for a weak civilization that desired to continue existing, the only lifeline was to follow a stronger civilization!

Human civilization was an excellent choice presented before them.

On this matter, the various civilizations had actually had discussions for a long time.

Firstly, the attitude towards Affiliated Civilizations was very gentle.

This point was very important.

If it were like the Ebat Civilization, which treated Affiliated Civilizations as breeding grounds for “Demons,” then no matter how powerful it was, no civilization would willingly follow them.

Secondly, the potential of Human Civilization was truly terrifying!

Especially the Human Emperor before them!

Not to mention anything else, simply attaching themselves to him meant that they too would have access to the terrifying ability of fivefold points! Their own Store Level would become completely insignificant!

With such thoughts, some Envoys suddenly realized that if they really intended to become an Affiliated Civilization of human civilization, they had to support this plan!

The strength of Human Civilization would become their strength; the Store Level of Human Civilization would become their Store Level; even the points would benefit them too!

Rather than calling it a “win-win cooperation” plan, it was more like a scheme to recruit Affiliated Civilizations!

“Great Human Emperor,” the envoy from the Star Moon Civilization was the first to make a decision, kneeling directly on the ground, “Your generosity is as vast and selfless as Mother Earth herself. My Star Moon Civilization is willing to fully support this plan!”

Indeed, the Star Moon Civilization had already made a decision internally.

If possible, to become an Affiliated Civilization of Human Civilization immediately!

Although their system was comprehensive, their strength was quite lacking in this Civilization Trial. They already felt somewhat powerless in the last Trial, even more cautious this time, and could hardly imagine the next time.

Attaching themselves to Human Civilization was the best choice they could make based on the interests of their civilization!

However, the kneeling of the Star Moon Civilization’s envoy put the other envoys in a difficult position.

The envoy of the Ebat Civilization even wanted to point out the unfair distribution of benefits within this plan and emphasize the disadvantages they faced regarding Store Level.

But now, the word “generosity” from the Star Moon Civilization’s envoy had choked back his words.

If a consensus couldn’t be reached, then such “complaints” were meaningless.

The other civilizations also knew this, but they were equally unable to respond.

Especially the Cangling and Elfie Civilizations.

Both of these civilizations also harbored thoughts of submitting to Human Civilization, but unlike the Star Moon Civilization, they had not yet made up their minds and were still hesitating.

At this moment, they were stiff with tension, even feeling restless in their seats.

If they didn’t kneel now, would they have no chance later?

But if they kneeled now, would they still be able to negotiate for better treatment?

They did not have the right to make such a decision!

Fortunately, in the next moment, Shen Hao’s voice rang out.

“This is of great importance and does not require an immediate decision from you all. You may return and discuss it. Star Moon Envoy, your affection and resolve have been felt, and Human Civilization will never mistreat any loyal partner. You should stay behind after this.”

“Yes! Your humble servant thanks the Emperor!” The Star Moon Envoy was incredibly excited by Shen Hao’s statement.

Because the information implied in it could potentially represent a great amount of benefits!

More importantly, realizing that Human Civilization indeed planned to accept them, while feeling the majesty of the Human Emperor, gave him an indescribable sense of security.

The fivefold points, strength that crushes all Chosen Ones, and the many terrifying foundations of Human Civilization…

From now on, the Star Moon Civilization could share in all of this!

Simply contemplating this was enough to stir excitement within them.

Before kneeling, they were filled with trepidation, but after doing so, it was as if the clouds had parted, revealing a clear sky!
