Chapter 174: Chapter 174: The Attention of All Civilizations!
The Civilization Trial has developed to the point where the vast majority of civilizations keep a certain level of observation on other civilizations in the starry sky.
Even though setting out for the starry sky isn’t easy, observation doesn’t require very powerful technology.
Take No.2 Planet, for example.
This is a planet slightly smaller than the Human Mother Planet, with a volume of about three-quarters of that of the Human Mother Planet. The civilization on it is a species that calls itself “Mongolian.”
The Mongolians’ appearance resembles the primitive humans from the past of Human Civilization, but they are taller, and behind them, they have a very thick, flexible monkey tail. Although they possess certain extraordinary elements, which make them physically strong and full of vigor, following a path of martial artists, they have also experienced technological revolutions and, even before entering the Civilization Trial, they had reached a level not inferior to that of Human Civilization.
They have always closely monitored the movements in outer space through telescopes stationed in outer space.
At this moment, a Round Table conference composed of the strongest Chosen Ones from over thirty civilizations is discussing the events currently transpiring in outer space.
“The ‘Blue Planet’ indeed sent out a fleet of more than thirty warships, with a clear objective, targeting the battlefields of ‘Star City Planet’ and ‘Green Planet.’”
They even assigned a code name for each planet.
The code name for Human Civilization is “Blue Planet” in their records.
“Star City Planet” and “Green Planet” are similarly straightforward.
“These thirty warships seem much smaller in size than the warships of ‘Star City Planet,’ but ‘Blue Planet’ wouldn’t dare to intervene under these circumstances without having confidence,” a conference member said in a solemn tone, “Moreover, these warships even stopped at ‘Magic Star’ first, quite possibly to reinforce their troops—this is an alliance fleet!”

“The strength of the ‘Blue Planet’ absolutely must not be underestimated!” another conference member declared, activating the projection in front of them, “They had already dispatched spaceships to this ‘Industrial Planet’ in the last settlement period to rescue their people. Shortly after their return, the performance value of the civilization ranked first soared, while the performance value of the civilization ranked ninth dropped to zero. There’s a 90% chance that ‘Blue Planet’ is the civilization ranked first!”
Images and data appeared on the projection screen.
They were the scenes of the original evacuation spaceships departing and arriving at the Siti Civilization Mother Planet.
It also displayed the performance value comparisons of the ranked civilizations.
If one observes carefully, it is not difficult to discover a pattern.
“This civilization may also possess the strongest Chosen One!” yet another conference member spoke up, also producing a set of comparisons, “We’ve noticed that since the Second Stage started, every time the performance value of the number one ranked Chosen One surged, the performance value of the number one ranked civilization also soared. If it happened only once, it might be a coincidence, but this pattern keeps repeating, which almost certainly confirms it.”
Yes.
The pattern wasn’t very clear during the first settlement period.
But by the second, it had become abundantly clear.
The number one ranked Chosen One was from the number one ranked civilization!
That civilization was from ‘Blue Planet’!
Now that everything was laid out in the open, along with the thirty warships on their way and the imminent conflict about to erupt, the strongest among the Mongolian Civilization were sitting in silence at this moment.
The atmosphere was extremely grave.
They had given their all in the battles against blizzards and the Undead, and they could even be said to be teetering on the edge of danger, ranked only eighth in performance value!
Apart from ‘Industrial Planet,’ which had already been wiped out and declared extinct, they were the worst off, the weakest!
Under these circumstances, even a slight shock from outer space could result in the total destruction of the entire civilization.
In fact, they had already considered affiliating themselves with ‘Blue Planet,’ just like ‘Industrial Planet’ did.
But the current situation made them hesitate once again.
What if ‘Blue Planet’ loses the battle?
“We have seen very clearly what ‘Star City Planet’ has done,” finally, a conference member took a deep breath and stated somberly, “If they win, our fate won’t be much better than ‘Green Planet.’ On the other hand, ‘Blue Planet’ at least took away the survivors from ‘Industrial Planet’ and maintains good relations with ‘Magic Star.’ We can only pray that they win!”
Yes, this conflict, even war, had a profound impact on weak civilizations like theirs.
In comparison, they naturally sided with Human Civilization.
After all, in that short span of time, the actions of Human Civilization had indeed shown a stark contrast to those of the Desert Tower Civilization.
It was blatantly obvious.
It wasn’t only the Mongolian Civilization on No.2 Planet that thought so; the civilization on Planet One felt the same.
This was a gas giant.
The civilization living on it was a species known as the “Wing Sky people.”
They weren’t large in size, quite petite in stature, with an average height of just fifty centimeters. A layer of white flesh connected their arms to their thighs, functioning as their wings, allowing them to fly freely on this planet with weak gravity once they spread them out.
But as a result, their resources were scarce. Limited “Sky Islands” sustained limited lives, and in this Second Stage of the Civilization Trial, the Sky Islands could no longer sustain life. They could only wander on “spaceships,” evading storms and the Undead.
They were ranked seventh among civilizations.
This means that this civilization was also in a state of chronic dying.
The highest leader within the civilization, “the Sage,” also clearly understood this reality.
Their only hope was the civilizations in outer space.
“The righteous civilization discovered the evil acts of the wicked civilization, and they sent out powerful spaceship fleets to save the innocent civilizations…” The Sage introduced the ongoing events in outer space in their own style, across the communication channels that spanned the entire Wing Sky Planet.
This was a species full of fantasy and romance.
They were isolated on various Sky Islands, atop Floating Ships, with communication channels being their only way of connecting with each other.
Even though the Sage was well aware of the cruelty of outer space and the harshness of their reality, they still wanted to give their desperately struggling people a hope.
They wanted them to look forward and believe in the existence of the Savior, so that they could hold on until the moment of true death arrived.
Besides the civilizations of Planet One and No. 2 Planet, there might also be the gaze of other civilizations hidden within the gradually dimming space.
Regardless, the fleets of Human Civilization were now, under such observations, boldly speeding towards the battlefield.
At this moment, on the Expeditionary Mother Ship, which served as the flagship, information from the frontline observation posts was also received.
“The Desert Tower Civilization has responded.”
The footage recorded by the observation posts quickly appeared on the projection, allowing everyone to see clearly that among the thirty warships that had been lingering above the Senya Mother Planet, twenty abruptly changed course and turned around, heading towards them.
At the same time, on the Desert Tower Planet, thirty new warships once again took flight.
A total of fifty warships spread out in all directions like a giant net, waiting for the Human Civilization fleet to fly into it.
“As expected, more fleets were hidden!” a commander said gravely, “Each of these fleets could be considered a mother ship, large in size, capable of accommodating a large number of unmanned or manned fighters. During combat, we will be at a numerical disadvantage.”
Back on the Mother Planet, a group of military commanders had already held several discussions about this battle.
In interstellar warfare, Human Civilization was utterly inexperienced.
And yet, in this universe without even a small asteroid, apart from the few lonely planets and their accompanying satellites, there was nothing.
It was as if, in ground warfare, they were on an unending plain.
The variability of tactics had been minimized to the greatest extent.
Head-on collision would become the main mode of warfare, with both sides colliding in terms of numbers, weapon range, firepower, mobility speed, defense, and many other domains.
However, this was exactly why Humans dared go into battle with confidence!
The spacecraft of the Desert Tower Civilization were, at most, Level 14-15, what if they were Blue, or even Purple Epic?
Advantage of level could still override the advantage of quality.
A Level 22 White spaceship, facing even a Level 15 Purple Epic spaceship, still held a massive advantage in strength!
Not to mention the Purple Epic Spaceship beneath their feet.
So, while some commanders looked grave, they were actually not tense, the gravity was merely due to the tactical importance.
At that moment, space aboard the spaceship suddenly distorted.
A figure seated on a throne, holding a scepter, materialized directly.
It was Shen Hao!
All commanders immediately stood to salute, their eyes on Shen Hao filled with admiration.
“I have already made arrangements on the Mother Planet to ensure its safety,” Shen Hao’s calm voice spread throughout the command center, “In this battle, I will be with you.”
Instantly, everyone’s faces lit up with joy as confidence surged within them.
After all, this was another source of their confidence, even their greatest!
“This battle, we must not only win, but win decisively,” Shen Hao’s gaze was also fixed on the projection of the battlefield on the large screen, “I can sense that all four remaining civilizations are watching us, including the two yet unknown civilizations on the other side of the Sun!”
Indeed, this was Shen Hao’s intuition.
As the Emperor of Human Civilization, observing Human Civilization was equivalent to observing him.
It was impossible to be completely unaware.
The observation from Planet One and No.2 Planet was expected, but the interest of the two mysterious planets on the other side of the Sun was somewhat unexpected.
As for these two more mysterious planets, they had actually dispatched spaceships to investigate them long ago.
