Chapter 307: Chapter 205: This is the Step to Advance!_1
Jiang Chen’s 100 consecutive victories are not considered many.
Even on the “Real Ranking,” he couldn’t qualify for the top spots.
There are too many talented mecha pilots from the three major level 8 civilizations that rank higher than him.
But the problem is...
Jiang Chen is only at the 3rd Rank!
Compared to those geniuses at the 8th or 9th Rank, he only has four Legendary Trait slots, and one of those was just obtained with his recent advancement to the 3rd Rank...
This means, within those three Legendary Trait slots, he must have at least two Legendary Traits to possess such strength.
“?”
Aren’t you the first generation from a fledgling civilization?
Starting with two Legendary Traits, do you really expect to have ten Legendary Traits by the 9th Rank?
Can you just casually activate such a cheat?
If this were some online game, the community would probably be incensed by now, calling for a strict crackdown on cheats.
Unfortunately, this is the abyss.
Other than shock, envy, jealousy, and confusion, the mecha pilots from various civilizations don’t really have any special recourse—
In fact, if Jiang Chen were not from Blue Star, this immature new civilization,
but from some ancient civilization.
Not to mention this, even if he performed more outstandingly, crushing the entire Purgatory level, nobody would question anything.
In the abyss, disparities in strength inherently exist; there is no absolute fairness.
Therefore, after their initial shock and envy, the mindset of the various civilizations in the Purgatory level quickly shifted.
Praises for Jiang Chen were everywhere, along with friendly comments about wanting to engage in exchanges with Planet Blue Star...
After all, being part of the same human civilization and facing common enemies,
and with the existence of the Fire Transmission Trait, the interaction between civilizations naturally has the potential for forming alliances.
Even if we put emotions aside and talk only about interests,
the benefits of becoming allies are higher.
Hence, the overall atmosphere in the Purgatory level is still very friendly.
The prerequisite is...
to ignore the other faction.
How can predators and prey coexist peacefully?
...
The Divine Lord Civilization.
The grand cathedra continues to float amid the cosmos.
The current Divine Lord sits on the cathedra, with several orbs of light floating before him.
These orbs come from past Divine Lords.
Although they have been gradually phased out as the Civilization Potential increased,
some Divine Lords, through exchanges with the Rebirth Civilization, gained precious resources for rebirth.
They succeeded in reincarnating and returning to their peaks.
At present, past Divine Lords each preside over a territory, collectively sheltering the Divine Lord Civilization.
Whenever major incidents arise, the current Divine Lord would also communicate with them to discuss opinions.
At this moment, a few Divine Lords were discussing the matter of winning over the Enigmatic Mecha Pilot—
Ying Tian returned and told them the demands of the Enigmatic Mecha Pilot.
However, because the demands were far too many,
the Divine Lords have yet to make a decision.
“The agreed time for the trade is almost upon us.”
“How are the deliberations progressing?”
“...It’s too much.”
An orb transmitted its thoughts.
“The Legendary Path, this is an exceedingly precious piece of high-level knowledge.”
He even found some of the weaker catastrophes, deliberately sparing them and providing them with the information.
Trying to use the pull of the abyss to pinpoint Planet Blue Star...
But whether this could really succeed,
the contemporary Divine Lord didn’t hold out much hope.
If it were so easy to bypass the Abyss Protection Mechanism, the current situation wouldn’t have arisen.
Not to mention, seeking out civilizations takes time.
Given Jiang Chen’s talent and growth speed,
perhaps by the time the catastrophes finally found Planet Blue Star, they would instead fall into a trap and become nourishment for its growth.
“It’s time to make a firm decision...”
The contemporary Divine Lord exhaled softly, a cold and decisive gleam flashing in his eyes.
Knowing that catastrophe was impending, aside from resisting head-on and taking preventative measures, there was actually a third option, which was also the most common.
To flee.
By leaving the reach of the catastrophe, one could naturally ignore it.
Of course, a civilization as vast as the Divine Lord Civilization couldn’t possibly flee the range of the Purgatory level and thus avoid the growth of Planet Blue Star.
But he could.
As long as the contemporary Divine Lord used transmigration resources to be reborn in an ancient civilization in another [Abyss Level], he could naturally avoid the conflict between Fire Transmission and Fire Plunder.
With his talents and his own transmigration resources,
many ancient civilizations would gladly accept his allegiance.
However,
once he abandoned his civilization to transmigrate alone,
the contemporary Divine Lord would lose his status, everything he had, starting anew in a completely unfamiliar place.
Not to mention becoming the hope of the people again, even becoming a hopeful candidate would be extremely difficult.
This was unacceptable for someone who had once stood at the pinnacle.
“So...”
“The method of [Rank-Lowering Plunderfire] must be obtained.”
“If I go to an ancient civilization, this will be my stairway to a new beginning. Exchanging it for a position as a hopeful candidate will certainly not be a problem!”
“I can still stand at the pinnacle!”
The contemporary Divine Lord’s gaze was profound as he swept over the various orbs before him.
He had actually noticed.
While most Divine Lords were unwilling to trade precious inherited resources,
there were a few Divine Lords constantly persuading others, excessively eager about the deal, regardless of the cost.
They...
Might well harbor similar thoughts.
Using this method as a stepping stone, the Endless Abyss, all Fire Transmission and Fire Plunder civilizations, all were within reach!
At this moment, the contemporary Divine Lord finally spoke.
“We can accept his demands.”
“This is the last hope for our civilization. At all costs, we must acquire it!”
“However, we must ensure he undergoes transmigration to prevent all efforts from being wasted.”
“...Yes.”
The Divine Lords fell silent for a long while, but eventually, they agreed with the contemporary Divine Lord’s opinion.
“We can have an ancient civilization act as a witness.”
“Let divine prodigy Ying Tian transfer the trading resources to the ancient civilization first, only giving him one transmigration resource.”
“After he completes transmigration, the ancient civilization will then transfer the resources to his original civilization.”
“In this way, both parties can be assured.”
“Even if he harbors a different intent, the loss would only be one transmigration resource.”
The contemporary Divine Lord nodded slightly.
Ancient civilizations also cared about their reputation; otherwise, no one would trade with them anymore.
This method was quite secure.
