Chapter 312: Chapter 209: When Will the Supreme Emperor Arrive at the Divine Lord Civilization?_1
[Lin Er from the Ancient Eon Civilization, requests entry into the current space. Permission granted?]
[Morris from the Bluegreen Deity Civilization…]
“Permit.”
The Divine Prodigy Ying Tian was not the last guest.
After he left, mecha pilots from both the Ancient Eon and Bluegreen Deity civilizations, two level 8 civilizations, arrived one after another—
Long before Jiang Chen made his breakthrough to the 3rd Rank, the records from the Legendary Shadow had already stirred up the situation in the Purgatory level.
They even changed the entire situation of the Purgatory level, leading the Bluegreen Deity Civilization to join the camp of the Fire Transmission Civilization.
It had reached that point.
All the major civilizations naturally continued to pay close attention to his movements.
They sought every means to establish contact with this genius mecha pilot from Planet Blue Star.
So, when Jiang Chen asked the merchants of the Rebirth Civilization to help contact the Gaia Civilization,
The merchants also conveyed the ideas for exchange to the Ancient Eon and Bluegreen Deity Civilizations.
Jiang Chen gladly agreed and set a time and place.
It was definitely worthwhile to meet with the two civilizations.
As level 8 civilizations, they were the mightiest civilizations holding up the Purgatory level, counteracting the invasion of the Infinite Purgatory.
Take the Ancient Eon Civilization, for example.
As the progenitor of the Fire Transmission civilizations in the Purgatory level, it naturally stood in the same camp as the other Fire Transmission civilizations, with an extremely high degree of goodwill.
If it had not been for the support from the Rebirth Civilization, Jiang Chen would surely have sought out the Ancient Eon Civilization after his tour of the merchant area to discuss the construction of Wonders and angel investing.
Of course, it wasn’t too late now.
As for the Bluegreen Deity Civilization.
Although it had once been courted by the Divine Lord Civilization and had been wavering,
The main reason was still to maintain the stability of the Purgatory level.
If the Divine Lord and Ancient Eon Civilizations truly engaged in a life-and-death battle, the ultimate winners would definitely be the Infinite Purgatory.
All three level 8 civilizations would suffer immense losses, even to the point of extinction.
It was for this reason.
After the Bluegreen Deity Civilization established its stance, the Ancient Eon Civilization gladly ignored past issues and welcomed it into the fold.
At the end of the day, they were all human civilizations, possessing the foundation for forming alliances.
In times of crisis, they could even possibly merge with each other for survival.
Only the Abyss Calamities were the real enemies.
And so,
Jiang Chen, as a brilliant prodigy from Planet Blue Star, aside from the antagonistic Fire Plunderer camp, made others anxious and burning with eagerness, almost wishing to strangle him in his cradle.
Others, whether Ancient Eon, Bluegreen Deity, Rebirth…
Or other powerful civilizations from different [Abyss Levels], all adopted an attitude of delight.
Each time a prodigy was born, it meant that the human force in the abyss had grown stronger by one more part!
Once Planet Blue Star grew up, it could provide other ancient civilizations with an even richer supply of miracles, legacies, and knowledge.
If Planet Blue Star didn’t manage to grow…
They could also find ways to preserve Jiang Chen’s life, allowing him to be reborn within their own civilizations.
They could still gain a prodigy of boundless potential, which would be a substantial profit.
Even if they really obtained nothing at all.
They would also lose nothing at all.
“Even.”
“If Planet Blue Star were not a Fire Transmission Civilization, but instead a neutral civilization like Bluegreen Deity,”
“Even the Divine Lord Civilization might not be hostile towards me but would try its best to foster a good relationship in hopes of gaining a potential ally…”
Jiang Chen looked at the two luminous beings before him, feeling the waves of goodwill they emitted.
He likewise reciprocated with corresponding information.
After all, everyone was human.
From the perspective of the [Abyss Levels] mechanism, the Abyss Rune also did not wish for human civilizations to fight each other.
“I’m sorry, in recent days the Infinite Purgatory has launched fierce attacks. The candidate of hope must oversee the situation and guard against Purgatory’s invasion, so we cannot attend in person…”
Both candidates of hope from the level 8 civilization were full of apologies in their words.
They were afraid that the candidate of hope from Planet Blue Star would perceive their absence as arrogance and disdain, which might lead to resentment.
After all, Jiang Chen’s potential had been fully demonstrated, which goes without saying.
Though he is currently at the 3rd Rank and insignificant as dust to Galaxy Level powerhouses,
it won’t be long before he too will become a Galaxy Level powerhouse, or even surpass that level to reach a strength far beyond what a level 8 civilization could match, one that aligns with his potential.
Knowing that such a development was inevitable, if they still carried the pride and aloofness of an ancient civilization and failed to engage in equal exchange,
it would mean they had lived all those years in vain.
Jiang Chen could sense the seriousness of the two candidates of hope and naturally would not take offense over such a trivial matter.
He expressed his understanding and invited the two to sit down and converse with him.
Their conversation centered around the history and characteristics of different civilizations, as well as some flattery…
Mainly, it was to deepen understanding on both sides to prepare for future cooperation.
Although this kind of thing was not Jiang Chen’s forte,
with the cooperation of the two candidates of hope, the conversation turned out to be quite enjoyable.
“Is this what it feels like to have two great civilizations trying to win my favor?”
Such an odd thought occurred to Jiang Chen.
After a brief conversation, the atmosphere warmed up a bit.
Only then did the two candidates of hope get to the point.
“You must have obtained the [Light of Wonders] after clearing the highest difficulty of the Legendary Shadow, right?”
“May I ask if the Planet Blue Star civilization has started constructing a wonder?”
“If you need any resources, please don’t hesitate to ask. We are both Fire Transmission civilizations; there’s no need for so much courtesy!”
It would be a far stretch to say Jiang Chen’s strength has dramatically increased to the point of exploding the Infinite Purgatory…
but the construction of a wonder is very imminent.
Even though Ancient Eon and Bluegreen Deity are level 8 civilizations, they have yet to truly construct a Civilization Wonder, lacking their own miracle resources.
If they could establish good relations with Planet Blue Star and make some early investments,
when the wonder is completed,
both level 8 civilizations could share in the spoils, getting some meat and soup!
“Resources?”
Just as Jiang Chen was about to speak, a message appeared before his eyes.
[Ying Tian from the Divine Lord Civilization requests to enter this space. Do you permit it?]
His eyes brightened, and he decisively confirmed.
“Permit.”
A portal of light emerged on the side of the space, and a luminous being stepped through.
The two candidates of hope looked over, and a stream of information flowed into their hearts, helping them realize the identity of this person.
“Ying Tian?!”
This was a candidate of hope from the Divine Lord Civilization; why would he come here to Jiang Chen?
Could it be that Jiang Chen has connections with the Divine Lord Civilization?
That’s not right!
The Divine Lord Civilization even passed Jiang Chen and Planet Blue Star’s information to the hands of the Abyss Calamity, clearly marking them as mortal enemies!
How could there possibly still be any connection?
While the two were puzzled,
the divine prodigy Ying Tian respectfully bowed.
“My lord, I have memorized all the knowledge imparted by the Divine Lord, and the Rebirth Teardrop is already in my possession; I can undergo rebirth at any time!”
“…?”
The minds of the two candidates of hope nearly ground to a halt.
And what exactly do “Rebirth Teardrop” and “Rebirth” mean?
Is he going to be reborn in the Planet Blue Star civilization?
Wasn’t he a candidate for hope of the Divine Lord Civilization?
“Very good.”
Jiang Chen nodded in satisfaction.
The knowledge bestowed by the Divine Lord Civilization must not have been mere information but some kind of decipherable storage device.
However, directly asking for the device would somewhat resemble crossing the bridge to burn it.
It would be more appropriate for Ying Tian to keep the knowledge in his memory, be reborn on Planet Blue Star, and then produce the knowledge.
As for Ying Tian’s past experiences.
Converting a mecha pilot who emerged from the Fire Plunder background to a new leaf when even abyss monsters can be contracted into mechas is not a big deal at all.
Moreover…
Jiang Chen looked at the candidates for hope of Ancient Eon and Bluegreen Deity civilizations, revealing a smile.
“The two of you do not know.”
“I once went to assist the Stargazers Civilization and encountered divine prodigy Ying Tian.”
“Due to the excessively fast pace of my growth, he mistook the Fire Transmitter traits for having a BUG…”
Jiang Chen recounted the entire story to them.
divine prodigy Ying Tian also spoke up.
“Born into Fire Plunder, with no choice of my own. Grateful to Sir for not abandoning me, I was able to turn away from darkness to light, seeking refuge in Planet Blue Star…”
“…”
The two candidates for hope were dumbstruck.
The whole affair was odd from start to finish.
How fast did Jiang Chen’s growth have to be to surge his attributes several times over in just a few minutes?!
Even divine prodigy Ying Tian would doubt this was a BUG!
Or maybe it actually was a BUG, just that the BUG wasn’t in the traits, but in Jiang Chen himself!
More so, after being coaxed by divine prodigy Ying Tian, he simply turned the tables and won him over in return.
Even convincing divine prodigy Ying Tian to take the Divine Lord Civilization’s treasure and flee to the Planet Blue Star civilization.
This deed was done too…
Brilliantly!
“Great, great, great!”
“When dealing with Fire Plunders, there’s no need to follow the bro code. Nicely done!”
The hopeful candidate from the Ancient Eon Civilization was overjoyed.
Having struggled against the Divine Lord Civilization for many years and becoming mortal enemies,
numerous mecha pilots had fallen at the hands of the Divine Lord Civilization even with the Infinite Purgatory in between.
Discovering that the Divine Lord Civilization had suffered a substantial loss naturally delighted them.
Not to mention that the Divine Lord Civilization itself had been suppressing Planet Blue Star, employing all sorts of underhanded tactics. If it weren’t for the [Abyss Protection Mechanism], they would have already started slaughtering…
Jiang Chen’s approach was simply an eye for an eye.
It was as if the Divine Lord Civilization themselves walked into the muzzle of a gun.
Thinking about the Divine Lord Civilization’s frustration and anger made the hopeful candidate from the Ancient Eon Civilization feel refreshing satisfaction, as if nourishing his spirit multiple times over.
He could not help but ask.
“Should we reveal this matter and severely strike at the Divine Lord Civilization’s prestige?”
As a Fire Plunder Civilization, the Divine Lord Civilization didn’t have much of a reputation to begin with.
But this incident of trying to steal a chicken only to end up losing the rice used to lure it could become the laughing stock among the many civilizations in the Purgatory level, and a subject of mockery for a long time.
In future confrontations in the Purgatory level, they would have several additional points to taunt.
Jiang Chen nodded in agreement.
“Of course!”
For him, spreading the word would not only disgust the Divine Lord Civilization thoroughly.
The most critical aspect was that it would wash away doubts about the [Fire Transmission BUG] and prevent similar coveting glances from civilizations like the Divine Lord Civilization—
As for the issue of exposing his rapid growth rate…
Having defeated the Legendary Shadow, should he be afraid of this?
“Great!”
The two hopeful candidates nodded excitedly.
As for the matter concerning resources, there was no need to mention it further.
The Divine Lord Civilization has practically given away all its treasures…
What resources could Planet Blue Star possibly lack now?
Meanwhile.
divine prodigy Ying Tian communicated with Jiang Chen for a moment, and then took out the Rebirth Teardrop and chose to use it.
Under the influence of the miraculous resource, his true spirit was encapsulated within it, turning into a brand-new [True Spirit Teardrop], which fell into Jiang Chen’s palm.
Once he returned to Planet Blue Star, he could rebuild his body.
…
Divine Lord Civilization.
Before the eye of the current Divine Lord, an Abyss Rune message suddenly appeared.
[Hope candidate has died, please replenish promptly.]
“…”
The current Divine Lord touched the Abyss Rune, quickly scanning the information.
In a split second, his eyes revealed shock.
divine prodigy Ying Tian… dead?
Wasn’t he in the Purgatory level, trading with that Enigmatic Mecha Pilot? How did he suddenly die?
The slight suspicions that had been lurking quickly took root and swelled.
Suppressing the ominous premonition, the current Divine Lord immediately arranged for personnel to go to the Purgatory level to investigate.
A short time passed.
A message from the Purgatory level.
It shattered his spirit.
Even as an overwhelmingly powerful, Galaxy Level mecha pilot, his vision darkened and he could not control his trembling hands.
“The Enigmatic Mecha Pilot… is that damn Jiang Chen?!”
“I… OOO…”
At this moment, what frustrated and enraged the current Divine Lord the most
wasn’t being deceived by Jiang Chen or losing the Divine Lord Civilization’s wealth of advanced knowledge—
It was just some knowledge; what’s lost is lost, and he was already planning to escape, so it would’ve been given away in the end anyway.
But… there was no BUG in the Fire Transmitter traits at all!
This meant that all his plots had come to nothing, and even if he sought refuge with an even more ancient civilization, his stairway to ascension was completely obliterated!
That was the greatest loss!
With his worst fears confirmed, the current Divine Lord couldn’t help but grip the handle of the cathedra.
“Damn it… I haven’t even begun to make my escape, and that kid has already run faster than me?!”
“And…”
“Isn’t it just the legacy of the Legendary Path and Divine Lord Civilization?”
“If you want it, I can give it to you too!”
“I can be from Planet Blue Star as well!!!”
A thought flashed through the mind of the current Divine Lord.
It seemed there were still some remnants left at home…
Maybe he should visit Jiang Chen once more and inquire if Planet Blue Star was still in need of people?
