Chapter 190: Chapter 190: Crisis Erupts!
The Supreme Sage did not ignore the Civilization Trial.
He had included all the most likely crises into his calculations.
For example, sudden blizzards or extreme weather conditions.
He even conducted detailed monitoring of outer space, on guard against possible Undead from Alien Planets.
However, the Supreme Sage had to admit.
The Civilization Trial was not something he could control at present, it still contained huge, fundamentally incalculable variables.
The previous defeat faced by Human Civilization could also be included as one of the variables of the Civilization Trial.
Because he had miscalculated the powers of the Mythical Talents and failed to account for the fact that there were Mythical Talents which could increase points.
In the end, all he could hope for was that the Civilization Trial would not yield results beyond his calculations.
However—
When the word “hope” appeared, it meant complete failure for the Supreme Sage.
The orders had been given, and squads of neatly arranged warriors, carrying specially-made equipment, set out to harvest those Undead bred in captivity.

On the other side, the “Rebels” led by Yohan were also waiting for this moment.
“Gentlemen,” Yohan said in a Magic communication channel purchased with points, addressing everyone, “The reason we come together is that we all understand that civilization has reached its most dangerous moment! The enemy does not come from outside but from that person atop the Supreme Tower!”
Toward the end, he couldn’t even restrain himself from clenching his fists, his tone rising in pitch.
And there were many whose emotions were as agitated as his.
The Magic communication channel was filled with various voices.
“That’s right, the failed Supreme Sage is no longer worthy of living in the Supreme Tower, let alone the title Supreme!”
“It was our ancestors who supported him back then, promising to jointly preside over the whole civilization, but he betrayed us!”
“Times have changed, we must not leave the future of civilization in the hands of an emotionless Monster!”
“Nor is he invincible!”
“Exactly! The strongest Chosen One of Human Civilization made it clear—he does not understand the Transcendent!”
“We are the strongest Transcendents in civilization! In the new era, civilization should belong to us!”
“General Yohan, please give the order, you are the strongest and most outstanding Commander of the entire civilization!”
“…”
Yohan was very pleased with such morale.
Especially the last statement.
Yes, he was the Civilizations’s most outstanding Commander and the strongest Chosen One, possessing a Purple Epic Talent! The Supreme Sage was so weak on the path of the Transcendent that as long as they seized this opportunity, they would win!
Yohan reviewed all the plans once more, ensuring there were no problems.
Over a thousand Chosen Ones supported them, of which more than three hundred had Blue Talents or higher!
“Begin.”
The moment the command was issued, a violent Electric Current suddenly flared up, sweeping over Yohan’s entire body in an instant!
He couldn’t move.
Even using all his strength, he couldn’t make the slightest movement!
“What’s happening?” Yohan didn’t even know where the Attack was coming from; this place should have only him alone!
But the current was so precise that Yohan could not control his body, concentrate his will, or even mobilize his Extraordinary Power or Talent.
And what made him even more frightened and even despairing was that, almost at the same time, the Magic communication equipment in front of him began transmitting dense screams.
Nothing but screams! Accompanied by convulsions, accompanied by Electric Currents!
Even Yohan couldn’t tell which of them were being Attacked!
Until in a much shorter time, the communication channel became silent once more.
That was when the current on Yohan’s body suddenly weakened a bit, just enough for him to struggle.
“Is anyone there?” he shouted, “Is there anyone left?”
No response.
The communication channel was as silent as death.
More than a thousand powerful Chosen Ones, including more than three hundred Blue Talent holders, and even Yohan himself, a Chosen One with an Epic Talent!
Such a formidable force was completely annihilated in an instant as the Rebellion commenced?
Yohan could not believe this fact.
But reality was already staring him in the face.
“Yohan,” the voice of the Supreme Sage arose at that moment, “you truly lack any ability, even with a Purple Epic Talent, you are nothing but a complete waste. Your plans of Rebellion are like a child’s joke, with a success rate of less than one in a thousand. Giving you control over civilization would lead to its destruction within a mere ten days with a probability of 93.54%…”
“No! No!” Yohan shouted in agony, not wanting to listen to even a single word.
However, this was a part of the Supreme Sage’s plan, to take control of him and all the Chosen Ones.
To let them fully despair, completely give up the hope of resistance and struggle, and fully become his power.
Everything was just as calculated.
Every link in the chain had no issues whatsoever.
The reaping of the Undead was also underway, with performance values beginning to rapidly increase.
It was true that the civilization ranked second had its performance values accelerating as well.
However, the Supreme Sage easily calculated the outcome, victory would have an eighty-two percent probability of belonging to him.
“The incalculable variables are but a few, and calculations allow a civilization to go farther and become stronger in the Trial,” concluded the Supreme Sage, unchanged.
Until——
Alarm bells suddenly rang out!
This wasn’t an alarm that existed in reality, but rather from the external computing program controlled by the Supreme Sage! It signified a major crisis!
The eyes of the Supreme Sage, at this very moment, sharply contracted.
Since suppressing all emotions with biotechnology, he had not felt any emotional turbulence for centuries, but now, uncontrollable fluctuations surged within him!
Even when the strongest Chosen One appeared, and he declared surrender, it had not been like this moment!
Because, he saw a crisis completely beyond calculation, one that truly had the potential to eradicate the entire civilization!
It was the Undead, on a massive scale, powerful Undead!
These Undead were pouring out from the world of the Undead incessantly, in numbers beyond belief, even reaching into the billions! They were ferociously destroying everything in their path, and in just a few breaths of time, a large number of Desert Tower People had died!
But how could this be?
The entire civilization had never lost so many people from the beginning till now!
Moreover, the death of every one of the Desert Tower People was within his control! All the Undead that were born were being controlled from the very moment of their creation. It was impossible for there to be such a number of Undead in the Undead World of their planet!
Unless they were born out of thin air, or perhaps… from other worlds?
Under the terrifying calculation results, the most probable possibility emerged in the mind of the Supreme Sage.
“The worlds of the Undead are interconnected!”
Yes, that was the most likely scenario.
In this Civilization Trial, all the worlds of the Undead from different planets were actually interconnected. If certain conditions were met, the Undead could directly reach another planet’s world of the Undead without having to traverse the vast universe!
The Desert Tower Civilization truly faced a crisis that was sufficient to lead to its extinction!
The Civilization Trial dealt an unprecedented blow to the Supreme Sage!
At this very moment, it wasn’t just the Desert Tower Civilization that was suffering from the sudden attack of the Undead.
Aside from a few civilizations that had already perished, all the other civilizations were experiencing the same!
That included Human Civilization!
In fact, as soon as the Undead surged, Shen Hao had already reacted, not bothering to continue monitoring the rankings. His voice was the first to reach the ears of the “Divine Envoys” in all the underground cities around the world.
As well as those who had received his god-given abilities.
“A large number of Undead are approaching, prepare for battle!”
Accompanying this instruction was Shen Hao’s power, which he dispersed in an instant!
Now, the vast majority of humanity resided in the underground cities, not on the surface. They couldn’t rely on the electric power from cloud lightning, and even massive thunderstorms were easily dissipated by the ground in such environments.
Therefore, rather than actioning himself, it was faster and more efficient to disperse his power!
And Shen Hao’s early warning was countless times faster than the response speed of the Global United Front.
Ever since the Undead appeared just moments ago, over five thousand underground cities had sounded their alarms!
All combat personnel received orders immediately, even those reserve soldiers who were usually assigned to factories!
Wang Yu was one such reserve soldier.
His Cultivation Talent wasn’t high, just average, but he was diligent, earning enough contribution points through hard work to exchange for various Cultivation resources.
Now, he was a peak Level 4 Cultivator.
This level, although slightly weaker, still qualified him as a reserve soldier within the military.
He usually worked in the factory but had to undergo regular military training, ready to step onto the battlefield in times of crisis.
Wang Yu had thought that with Human Civilization being so powerful, and Undead sightings being extremely rare, at least in this Trial, there wouldn’t be a need for him to fight.
But the alarm sounded, his exclusive terminal for reserve personnel vibrating continuously, the voice of the AI relayed through his semi-implanted earpiece!
“Reserve Soldier Wang Yu, immediately cease all work and proceed to your squad leader Du Yongmin to collect your weapons! A massive invasion of Undead is underway, I repeat, a massive invasion of Undead is underway! Please follow wartime commands strictly, Reserve Soldier Wang Yu!”
For a moment, Wang Yu did not comprehend!
It was only when his colleague, also a reserve worker, leapt to his feet.
“Let’s go, Wang Yu! Hurry up!”
It wasn’t just them, the surrounding non-combat personnel also received instructions to urgently take shelter!
Wang Yu finally snapped out of his trance.
This was real, not an illusion!
“Damn it!” he exclaimed, leaping up, “How could there be a massive invasion of the Undead?”
“Never mind that!” His teammate had barely spoken when frightened screams erupted ahead.
Undead, those were truly Undead!
