YM778.TV Chapter 233 - 161: Jiang Chen is Consolidating (1)
Even civilizations of the 6th or 7th rank, if they by chance produce a top-tier talent, find it very difficult to overshadow the terrifying heritage of the three major civilizations to participate in the contention.
Therefore, when Jiang Chen’s completion record appeared within Legendary Shadow,
it was like the emergence of Cheng Yaojin in a tripartite balance of power, immediately drawing the attention of everyone.
They quickly searched for information related to the Planet Blue Star civilization.
They soon discovered that this was a brand-new civilization that had never appeared in the Purgatory level before, with Jiang Chen being the only record of this civilization…
This information perfectly matched a setting:
[2nd Rank Civilization]
“A 2nd rank civilization that overwhelms a level 8 civilization?”
“An ancestor with more than a thousand times the strength?”
“Are you fucking sure you’re not joking?”
Not only was the person of hope from Ancient Eon civilization dumbfounded, but all the civilizations in the Purgatory level were as well.
Although the number of civilizations in the abyss was endless, the corresponding number of civilization members, if all added up, would be many magnitudes higher than that of level 8 civilizations.
Against such a vast population base, it wouldn’t be strange for some talents comparable to high-level civilizations to arise.
But…
The past ancestral talents were already defying the heavens if they had a few dozen times the strength.
What kind of monstrous thing is this, crushing a high-level overlord of the 6th rank with a thousand times the intensity?
The major civilizations could even easily calculate the probability of such an event occurring:
Previously it was zero.
Now it’s 1 divided by the total number of civilizations in the Purgatory level.
A unique case!
Moreover, when the talent of such an ancestor reaches this realm, it’s already able to change the rules—
Normally speaking, the process of civilization advancement involves generations of hopefuls enhancing Civilization Potential, increasing civilization heritage, and accumulating civilization traits.
Constantly producing new-era geniuses, they climb higher step by step.
Eventually becoming ancient high-level civilizations.
In this process, if you’re lucky enough to have a transcendent genius, you can also speed up the civilization’s accumulation and growth.
Jiang Chen?
He started with a talent potential that surpassed the candidates for hope of an 8th level civilization.
As long as he grows up, he’s nearly equivalent to a person of hope from an 8th level civilization!
In such a situation, what’s the need for candidates?
Just pile on lifespan, strength, power.
As long as his strength improves, he can carry the entire civilization on his shoulders and leapfrog in development, accomplishing the accumulation of countless generations in one go!
If his luck isn’t that good, he could become a 7th rank civilization.
If his luck is better, he could become the fourth level 8 civilization in the Purgatory level!
Even if such an 8th level civilization lacks the profound heritage, potential, and number of top experts in comparison with a normal 8th level civilization…
It could only be considered a pseudo level 8 civilization.
But with some time spent supplementing the missing heritage, it wouldn’t take long to become a true level 8 civilization.
A new level 8 civilization would be enough to change the entire situation of the Purgatory level!
Even the level 8 civilizations like Ancient Eon and Bluegreen Deity could not ignore such a matter.
The person of hope from Ancient Eon civilization, after reacting, immediately set about investigating the data archives for related information.
They tried every possible means to confirm the alignment of Planet Blue Star civilization—
Currently, the Purgatory level has three level 8 civilizations.
Ancient Eon is a Fire Transmission civilization, Divine Lord is a Fire Plunder civilization, and the two are at odds with each other.
Bluegreen Deity civilization does not belong to either camp, inheriting special civilization technologies and remaining neutral.
The three major civilizations form three camps, maintaining a tripartite balance.
They are temporarily united under the mediation of Bluegreen Deity civilization to oppose the Infinite Purgatory.
At such a time, the emergence of a new level 8 civilization, if not neutral, would very likely disrupt the existing balance.
“If it’s a naturally evil Fire Plunderer civilization…”
“We must eradicate it in its cradle!”
The person of hope from Ancient Eon civilization soon found the clearance information for the [Prehistoric Winged Fiend].
It was Jiang Chen’s only time joining a random team, and his teammates were from Gaia civilization and Tian Yan civilization.
Both these civilizations were Fire Transmitters.
Based on the principle of similar random team formation, as well as the record of the four successfully completing the level,
Planet Blue Star civilization must also be a Fire Transmission civilization.
This made him breathe a sigh of relief.
“If it’s the benevolent Fire Transmitter civilization, then that’s wonderful.”
“However, the naturally evil Divine Lord civilization will surely try to eradicate this Fire Transmitter seed.”
“We must protect him well and let him grow smoothly…”
“Hmm… I should negotiate with Bluegreen Deity civilization and pull them to our side.”
“The future Purgatory level doesn’t need Fire Plunderers.”
…
The person of hope from Bluegreen Deity civilization, as they stared at the information in front of them, fell into contemplation.
“A potential level 8 Fire Transmission civilization…”
“Divine Lord and Ancient Eon will probably both come to me.”
“Whose side should I take this time?”
…
The contemporary Divine Lord of Divine Lord civilization looked at the information in front of him with disdain, and let out a sneer.
“A level 8 Fire Transmission seed.”
“That guy from Ancient Eon must be almost frantic by now, right?”
“Trying every possible means to protect this guy to grow up, using him as a pawn to eliminate me…”
“Heh, such a hypocrite.”
If it had been a month ago, the contemporary Divine Lord would have been on pins and needles, trying every possible means to nip this Fire Transmission seed in the bud.
Once the opposition started to grow, two level 8 Fire Transmission civilizations.
Even if the Divine Lord Civilization didn’t die, it would be thoroughly suppressed, never to recover.
But now…
The heart and vision of the contemporary Divine Lord had already detached from these lowly civilizational struggles.
A potential level 8 seed, so what?
Having defeated a Legendary Overlord with a strength of 70 million, so what?
Compared to the BUG of Fire Transmitter traits, there’s not even the slightest bit of comparability!
As long as the divine prodigy Ying Tian finds that mecha pilot in the Purgatory level, the one he encountered back then, and figures out a way to lure him into the Divine Lord Civilization…
As long as he obtains the method the mecha pilot used to fight at the 4th Rank with 5th Rank strength from him…
All the “Civilization Farms” in the abyss will be in the Divine Lord Civilization’s pocket!
By then, let alone clearing 6th Rank difficulty.
Even if this Planet Blue Star’s Jiang Chen clears 7th Rank difficulty, so what?
The Divine Lord Civilization could still trample over countless civilizations’ corpses, surpassing all ancient civilizations, to become the strongest in the abyss!!
This was something the Primordial Fire Civilization couldn’t even imagine!
“The key is that Enigmatic Mecha Pilot.”
“Not this Jiang Chen or whoever.”
As for the possibility of the two being the same person.
It merely flashed through the contemporary Divine Lord’s mind before being directly tossed into the trash can.
Impossible.
According to divine prodigy Ying Tian’s memory, although the strength of the Enigmatic Mecha Pilot was strong, he was merely at the threshold of the 5th Rank.
His base attributes hadn’t even reached 5th Rank, it was by virtue of a special ability burst that he piled up his strength.
It was relying on a BUG that he had crushed Ying Tian.
Even if he was a 1st Rank mecha pilot who had now advanced to 2nd Rank, it was impossible for him to surge a hundred times in strength and defeat a high-level overlord with a strength of 70 million.
That would not only be unreasonable but also not in line with the abyss.
So, the Enigmatic Mecha Pilot from the beginning was very likely a 2nd Rank mecha pilot with only a talent strength in the dozens.
The two were probably just coincidentally both pioneers of a new civilization.
The contemporary Divine Lord had been using the Legendary Shadow to monitor the new civilizations in the Purgatory level and had found seven suspect civilization.
They fit the identity of the Enigmatic Mecha Pilot more than Jiang Chen.
“However, the Enigmatic Mecha Pilot is of major importance.”
“I can’t appear too indifferent; I can’t let Ancient Eon see anything unusual…”
“Otherwise, this hypocritical Fire Transmission civilization will definitely compete with us for the Fire Plunder.”
“Let’s use this Jiang Chen to distract them for the time being.”
“Suppress when necessary, pay attention when needed, throw some benefits to win over Bluegreen Deity…”
“Quietly making a fortune.”
The contemporary Divine Lord used his astonishing wisdom to set a development course.
He seemed to have already seen the day the Divine Lord Civilization successfully subdued the Enigmatic Mecha Pilot, harvesting various benefits, becoming the supreme civilization, and couldn’t help but smirk with a wicked smile.
This feeling of exploiting the information gap and ruthlessly playing with other civilizations was just too fantastic!
…
As if a boulder had been dropped into a calm lake.
A mere clearance record had the Purgatory level boiling over.
Through Purgatory level, the platform for civilizational exchange, the civilizations of Ancient Eon, Bluegreen Deity, and Divine Lord took turns making statements.
The Ancient Eon Civilization praised the Planet Blue Star Civilization, and as the Fire Transmission predecessors, expressed recognition.
It announced potential cooperation to resist Purgatory and the evil Fire Plunderers together.
The Divine Lord Civilization’s remarks were sarcastic, mocking the Ancient Eon Civilization’s attempt to tame a loyal dog with a bone.
The Bluegreen Deity Civilization hoped that both civilizations would stay calm and not forget the external enemies.
However, by the time this was said, the Divine Lord Civilization and Ancient Eon Civilization had already started bickering—
A level 8 civilization, unlike a catastrophe, cannot easily cross the abyss to attack those civilizations that had ignited fire.
Even if they wanted to engage in a war of civilizations, it could only be done through the unique plane of Infinite Purgatory.
Besides, the strength gap between the Divine Lord Civilization and Ancient Eon Civilization was not large; if a real battle broke out, both sides would suffer heavy casualties and be devoured by Infinite Purgatory…
So, while they might bicker and have minor scuffles, it hadn’t truly escalated to war.
Their respective camps also affected the corresponding civilizations, inciting the conflict between Fire Transmitters and Fire Plunderers.
In addition, mecha pilots from the civilizations Gaia and Tian Yan, as Jiang Chen’s only temporary teammates, also attracted significant attention and were inquired about by various civilizations.
The whole Purgatory level was bustling with activity.
A Civilization Traveling Merchant from a deeper Abyss Level, noticing the changes happening in the Purgatory level, couldn’t help but ask what had happened.
After hearing others’ explanations, a hint of disdain surfaced in his heart.
As expected, these are naive country bumpkins from the shallows with no real experience.
Isn’t it just the clearance of a high-level overlord with 6th Rank difficulty? I’ve seen that in the ancient civilizations of the deeper layers…
“Pioneers.”
Civilization Traveling Merchant: “…”
This I’ve truly never seen!
…
While the whole Purgatory level was abuzz with discussion.
What about Jiang Chen?
[Attributes]
[Strength 22.67 million→42.51 million]
[Agility 22.67 million→42.51 million]
[Defense 22.92 million→42.76 million]
[Enigmatism 20.69 million→40.53 million]
Jiang Chen was consolidating.
