Chapter 226: Chapter 224: All People’s Carnival
“That can be considered good news.” Shen Hao didn’t keep them in suspense and directly said, “The next trial will start in two thousand and twenty-five days.”
The moment this number was revealed, everyone immediately got the answer.
Five and a half years!
Suddenly, these lords and rulers all showed expressions of surprise and delight.
Strictly speaking, five and a half years is not a long time.
But everything is relative.
Before this, their expectation for the rest period was just a few months, and the boldest expectation was only one or two years, but now they had a full five and a half years!
In these five and a half years, they could accomplish and plan so many things.
Not to mention, the previous plans for rebuilding cities could be completely revamped. They could build safer and more perfect cities!
Moreover, the development of heavy industry, the nurturing of a new generation of cultivators, and even policies encouraging childbirth could all begin.
You should know that during the first half-year after the trial began, the number of newborns plummeted.
Even if parents were willing to let their progeny be born into the brutal Civilization Trial, during the course of the trial, death and danger could strike at any time, and few dared to conceive children.

But now, with a five and a half year buffer, it was dramatically different!
Not many people doubted the authenticity of this information; Shen Hao had already demonstrated his sources of intelligence during the previous trial, which might have been a unique ability or a special trial reward. In any case, no one dared to question Shen Hao, who was both a Guardian God and a ruler.
“Having known the time, we must have a detailed plan,” Shen Hao continued, “This will be up to you. Moreover, I have a very important cultivation technique here, a widely applicable Red Mythical Technique.”
When the “Five Elements Ascension Method” was announced, those present were shocked once again.
Some, who also followed the Cultivation Path, even stood up subconsciously.
It was truly beyond expectation.
Mythical Skills!
Nowadays, even those not the Chosen Ones could understand the significance of the Mythical level.
This had always been exclusive to Shen Hao, and it was the foundation of his status as the protector of civilization.
No other civilization, even those not weak in themselves, had ever touched on the Mythical level!
Let alone Mythical, even the Legendary level was only associated with the Empress alone.
And now, a Mythical Skill was literally thrown in front of everyone.
“Is it still possible for me to switch to cultivation now?”
“God, why isn’t there a Mythical Meditation Method?”
“Is it the basic Foundation Establishment Method? It could indeed be widely taught!”
“This is indeed a huge delight for all people to celebrate.”
“The speed at which people cultivate will also greatly increase.”
“A standardized cultivation technique will also be of great help in teaching efficiency!”
“However, to avoid exposing it to enemies in the future, we should only make the basic part public. The advanced parts still need to be kept strictly confidential!”
“Exactly, even for Affiliated Civilizations, those who want to learn the advanced techniques should meet certain conditions.”
“…”
Shen Hao didn’t need to say much more; these council members naturally understood the significance and benefits of this technique!
In the past, the two paths of Cultivation and Magic had always been equally promoted.
At times, Cultivation was more popular, and at other times, Magic proved more useful, but without a doubt, with this Mythical Technique, Cultivation would be the overwhelming choice for the next five years!
Just the words “Mythical level” alone could fill people with endless expectations.
Thus the faces of all the council members were brimming with joy, two pieces of good news at once were enough to make all people cheer, just as some council members stated!
And it wasn’t over yet.
“I’ve also gained a new Mythical Ability this time,” Shen Hao continued, revealing the effects of “Eternal Heaven” alongside.
With just that, a series of profoundly heavy breaths could clearly be heard in the meeting.
Each council member showed an incredulous expression.
But following that, waves of intense excitement surged among them.
Even different from before, there was no need for discussion, no discussion necessary!
Because the implications of this far surpassed any other news.
—Heroic Spirits live on!
To some extent, the Civilization Trial tightly bound all of humanity together, whether you were a powerful general, a ruler commanding countless people, or a wealthy person possessing vast wealth, in the face of the Civilization Trial, the possibility of sacrifice or disaster was the same.
No one knew when disaster or misfortune might suddenly strike them or their families.
But now, after death, one could become a Heroic Spirit and live on forever!
Even though Shen Hao made it clear that this wasn’t the same as resurrection—unless power was used for summoning, one would still only be in eternal slumber—it was still utterly different from past deaths!
Moreover, now that one could survive as a Heroic Spirit, there might actually be a chance for resurrection in the future!
Even without considering oneself, just thinking about how this ability could inspire people was enough to make one tremble with excitement.
When death no longer brings despair, people will have more, even unlimited courage!”
“President, if there’s any more good news, you might as well tell us all at once.” Someone even covered their heart, half-joking, but their voice was trembling.
With these three pieces of news Shen Hao had announced, each was huge!
Even when they had achieved victory in the Trials, they had never been this excited.
“I do hope we could have more such good news,” Shen Hao smiled; however, his expression soon became serious again, “But even if there aren’t any now, there will definitely be more in the future. Even if the Civilization Trial is still challenging, I firmly believe that we are on the path to overcoming it!”
Everyone else also looked solemn, their eyes shimmering with immense confidence.
Yes, not only did Shen Hao think so, but all of them believed it.
Even, this confidence needed to be passed on to every person in the entire civilization!
The theme of the era of Civilization Trial should not only be despair!
Afterward, Shen Hao announced some information that could also be considered good news, but it wasn’t as shocking as before, such as six thousand self-selected Chosen One spots, like two hundred Purple Epic Talent Promotion places, and high-quality bred resources like “Phoenix Chicken”…
Each piece of news added to the joy of everyone present.
The council members were even itching to get started on big projects.
Even during the meeting, they directly decided on a series of important projects.
Not long after the meeting ended, the Global United Front, the Human Civilization Chosen One Association, and many other important departments all simultaneously issued important announcements!
Even a special press conference was convened for this purpose.
A series of good news exploded like a bombardment throughout the entire civilization!
“There’s a five-year rest period? We can finally catch a breath!”
“My god, Mythical Skills! Can I actually learn those?”
“Phoenix Chicken? Let’s go, brothers, let’s raise chickens!”
“Six thousand Chosen One spots distributed among various professions!”
“Eternal Heaven is the most important! Why didn’t we have this ability earlier; my elder brother has already sacrificed himself!”
“Condolences to the person above, but even if not in Heaven, the Heroic Spirit will always exist in our hearts!”
“I’m enlisting! I was afraid of death before, but not anymore!”
“That’s right, as long as we’re alive, we keep striving; if dead, we become Heroic Spirits!”
“I’m completely overwhelmed; am I dreaming? So much good news, so sudden!”
“…”
The entire network was suddenly filled with all sorts of voices, countless people excitedly venting their emotions; this was true not only online, but even offline, where excited cheering crowds could be seen everywhere.
And it wasn’t just humans; the newly joined species were even more excited.
At a construction site in a newly built city, the leader of the Siti people, Karla, shouted excitedly at a makeshift outdoor bar: “Drinks are on me today, for the great Human Civilization!”
Suddenly, the already cheering crowd erupted into an even louder cheer.
Countless people raised their glasses, including Mongolians, Senya people, and Wing Sky people, all shouting excitedly:
“For Human Civilization!”
“For our civilization!”
“Humans will prevail!”
“For Eternal Heaven!”
“…”
Clearly, the stronger the Human Civilization became, the more excited these newly joined species were! Even more so than the humans themselves.
After all, as weaker species who could join such a powerful civilization amidst the brutal Civilization Trials, it was truly as if they were favored by the goddess of fortune!
And this collective celebration quickly spread to Affiliated Civilizations.
All those in the know in the Affiliated Civilizations were just as thrilled.
Especially the Great Yan Civilization.
At the first moment the news arrived, numerous civil and military officials in the court could no longer restrain themselves.
“The Human Civilization is too powerful, too rich!”
“I wonder if we have the qualifications to become Heroic Spirits after death?”
“No matter the cost, as long as we can obtain Mythical Skills, it is worth it!”
“A five-year rest period, Human Civilization must have obtained more precise intelligence!”
“I urge Her Majesty to personally undertake a mission!”
“Please, Her Majesty, personally undertake a mission to the Sovereign Civilization!”
“…”
Toward the end, one minister after another knelt on the ground, requesting the Empress to personally undertake a mission to Human Civilization.
Among them were not a few who had initially opposed becoming an Affiliated Civilization.
But Xi Qing, seeing these people now excited to the point of flushed faces, probably wished they could marry her, the Empress, over to fully unite the two families.
However, Xi Qing could completely understand that.
Because at this moment, she too was excited, overjoyed.
As an Affiliated Civilization of Human Civilization, the stronger the Human Civilization became, the safer they would be, and similarly, they would become stronger.
Moreover, Xi Qing noted one particular piece of good news in the announcements of Human Civilization.
Phoenix Chicken?
This was of immense help to her Cultivation!
