Chapter 177: Chapter 177: Continue to Advance!
The current situation of the Wing Sky Civilization is actually very bad.
After all, although their planet is large, its resources are far less abundant than those of the Sky Spirit People, and even quite scarce. Although they possess Extraordinary Power, it is not as strong as the one on Sky Spirit Planet and is dispersed by the massive volume inside the planet, making it difficult for the Wing Sky people to possess high Extraordinary Levels individually.
Under such circumstances, the path they naturally developed was the path of Magic Alchemy.
And it’s not the mass production type of Alchemy Industry.
With scarce resources, they could only strive for perfection to utilize every bit of resources, using the least amount of material to achieve the greatest effect, and with this to build Floating Ships that could hover and move within the planet, increasing their space for activities.
They could even grow food artificially on Floating Ships.
After the opening of the Civilization Trial, some new changes began to appear on this path, such as a kind of alchemy technology that can absorb nitrogen from the air for synthesis, and technology that changes the basic elements of matter with Magic Power and Alchemy Array, both of which can greatly solve the problem of scarce resources.
It could be considered seeing a path to a strong civilization.
But all this is premised on being able to survive.
Neither the extremely cold weather, the continuous blizzards, nor the Undead are something the Wing Sky people could easily solve.
Their Floating Ships became isolated islands, and the channel for everyone to receive information from others was through broadcasts.
At this moment, Wing Sky people were curled up on their own Floating Ships, huddled next to the Power Furnace, listening to the Sage’s speech, their thoughts seeming to drift into outer space with the words, toward that strong, rich, and righteous civilization, filled with longing.

“When will they come to save us?” a little Wing Sky girl huddled in her parents’ arms, her small face covered with frostbite, but her eyes were full of expectation.
“They will come soon,” her parents trembled in the cold snap as well, but these words were not comforting lies—they harbored hope in their hearts, “Didn’t the Sage say? They have already saved two civilizations, and now they are defeating the evil civilization to save a third one. They will come to us soon…”
Conversations like this were, at this moment, widespread throughout the Wing Sky Civilization.
Even their civilization’s Sage seemed to have this kind of expectation.
And he must have!
The strong performance of Human Civilization, coupled with everything that he had observed in the past, was enough to become the last hope for their entire civilization.
“We need to be more proactive,” the Sage said, looking at the last of his points and gritting his teeth before directly buying an expensive alchemy device.
This device could transmit his voice into the vast outer space.
At this very moment, the Desert Tower Civilization was experiencing immense panic, as well as unprecedented heavy losses.
One after another, expensive spaceships were continuously destroyed in outer space. Human Civilization didn’t accept any of their communication requests, showing no mercy in their attacks, as if determined to tear off all their claws and knock out all their teeth! To completely turn them into toys they could trample at will!
However, Human Civilization, with the spoils of this battle, quickly received submission communications from two civilizations.
Yes, submission.
The Mongolian Civilization and Wing Sky Civilization, these two civilizations ranked lower and could no longer hold on, hoping to join Human Civilization like the Siti people did!
In their communications, they gave out all their intelligence without hesitation, even including the number of Chosen Ones within their civilizations and their military strength.
In such a situation, it was as if they placed themselves in an extremely low position, completely losing the initiative.
Even if Human Civilization wanted to make them slaves, they would probably accept.
This was, of course, partly due to how Human Civilization had treated the Siti people and Sky Spirit People in the past. But clearly, it also had a lot to do with their demonstrated strength and their brutal behavior against the Desert Tower Civilization.
Even, the latter was the main reason.
“Having such an opponent is indeed very beneficial,” Shen Hao ordered, “Send out the Envoys. The Alchemy Path, the Martial Artist Path, and the Chosen Ones are all we need.”
They had no reason to refuse; these were benefits delivered into their hands.
After all, the status of these Species in the civilization system would certainly be far lower than that of Humans, because as the Civilization Trial continues, situations like this will undoubtedly occur repeatedly. Ensuring the absolute status of Humans is the only way to ensure the stability of the civilization’s core and order.
Shen Hao’s gaze returned to the current war.
What the Desert Tower Civilization was doing at this moment could be seen clearly with the powerful detecting equipment mounted on the Purple Epic Level Mother Ships.
They gave up those massive warships, dispersing their military power among a large number of fighters and small warships, forming Legions scattered across the vast universe.
It had to be said, this move was indeed useful.
Numbers were the biggest problem of the Human Fleet. At this moment, when the industrial level had not yet been increased, almost all space weapons had to be purchased from the shop, and they couldn’t possibly buy a large number of small fighters and warships.
In terms of points consumption, that was too much of a loss.
“`
Charging directly with these thirty warships would risk the scenario of being overwhelmed by sheer numbers, like ants killing an elephant.
Even if a single bullet can kill a person, if there are only a few hundred guns, when thousands of troops charge, even if those few hundred are Barretts, it’s hard to hold back.
Of course, space warfare isn’t that simple, and what they have in their hands is not a Barrett.
Just the Purple Epic Mother Ship with its shield might not be unable to deal with these smaller fighter planes.
But still, one must consider the risks and rewards.
“President.” A commander, also a Chosen One, came to Shen Hao to report, “Strategic Command Center believes we have already dealt a heavy blow to the enemy. The core objective of this war has been achieved. If we push further, we might need to take on greater risks.”
This war, after all, was not about completely destroying the Desert Tower Civilization.
It was about suppressing the arrogance of the Desert Tower Civilization, harvesting the unity of the Senya people, and establishing the prestige of Human Civilization among the existing nine civilizations, in order to gain the greatest benefits in the increasingly frequent contacts between civilizations that are sure to follow.
And indeed, these objectives have already been achieved.
The Desert Tower Civilization has been dealt a heavy blow and is bound to be in turmoil.
At this moment, the Senya people’s worship of Human Civilization is peerless. Coupled with Shen Hao’s control over their Life Mother Tree, he can easily ensure this not-so-weak civilization’s loyalty and submission.
There’s even the allegiance of two other weaker civilizations. Even if they are weak, the number of Chosen Ones and their respective paths of civilization present here can certainly supplement the shortcomings of Human Civilization.
Just the benefits secured so far have already exceeded their initial expectations.
At this moment, it seems a safer choice to cease further actions.
However, Shen Hao, looking at the vast array of Desert Tower fighters and warships on alert, suddenly spoke, “Other paths may be important too, but technology is one of our fundamental paths. The lack of infrastructure on this path is starting to become evident. The Desert Tower Civilization’s technology and equipment can fill these gaps.”
The commander in front of him was stunned.
His heartbeat involuntarily picked up pace.
Is he planning to continue the fight?
If Shen Hao’s conclusion diverges from that of the Global United Front, it’s certain that things will proceed according to Shen Hao’s will.
Such is Shen Hao’s status now.
Unless Shen Hao leads the civilization to a disastrous defeat, proving his decision-making to be flawed and his abilities insufficient, this standing will continue.
And it’s likely to rise even higher.
But the commander was mistaken.
Shen Hao was not planning to continue the war. The war is a means, not an end. He simply wanted to further extend the results of the war.
“Other warships split up and remain on standby to escort the civilian spaceships to Planet Senya,” Shen Hao ordered directly. “Mother Ship, increase speed and continue to push forward!”
Yes, against a swarm tactic, he did not need the rest of the warships.
Just this Purple Epic Mother Ship and his own self, were enough!
The rest of the warships, though they were Level 22, were only White, with basic shields and not particularly abundant firepower, and their deterrent effect was insufficient.
Let them escort a few civilian spaceships to the Senya Civilization, taking away the surviving Senya people, was enough.
After the order was given, all civilizations observing noted that the Human Fleet actually began to split at this moment, with the largest warship that had been guarded in the central position breaking away, and the remaining escort ships staying put!
What are they planning?
Just as some civilizations couldn’t figure it out, this expedition-grade Mother Ship suddenly accelerated!
The flight speed of these warships was not slow before — though not nearly as fast as the blue Level 20 small reconnaissance ships given to Feng Ping and the others before — but at full flight speed from Human Mother Planet to Planet Senya, it only took three to four days, which was quite fast.
However, the current speed of the expedition-grade Mother Ship, now truly speeding up, caught everyone off guard.
It was too fast!
It was incredibly fast!
The nine planets involved in this Trial, all on the same orbital path around the sun, were undoubtedly extremely distant from each other on a planetary scale. However, on a cosmic scale, not to mention traveling to Planet Senya, even going to the much more distant Desert Tower Planet was only about a sixteen-minute flight at the speed of light!
And this Purple Epic Mother Ship could reach up to twenty percent of light speed at maximum velocity!
This meant that, departing at full speed from Human Mother Planet, it would only take about thirteen hours to arrive directly at the Desert Tower Planet!
