RUN AWAY, THIS CIVILIZATION IS CHEATING!

Chapter 486: Chapter 377

Many nodded slightly, their expressions solemn.

Indeed, this was the case.

Compared to the straightforward task of gathering intelligence about an indigenous civilization, particularly when even the Emperor himself possessed an almost cheat-like “Coordinate Locking” ability, Trial Civilizations—especially powerful ones—were admittedly much thornier adversaries.

The two were hardly comparable in difficulty.

Because you simply had no way of knowing what kind of equipment, talent, abilities, or even foundational strength the other civilization possessed.

Not being able to predict their methods meant you couldn’t be sure you’d be able to withstand them.

Of course, the reverse was also true.

The enemy too had to be extremely cautious, otherwise, they wouldn’t have initiated on the intelligence front.

“However, we still have one major advantage,” the Commander said, shifting his tone, looking up at Shen Hao, seated high on the throne with utmost respect and a touch of fervor, “and that is His Majesty. His Majesty’s ability is likely unparalleled throughout the entire Civilization Trial. If every scout possessed His Majesty’s blessing, coupled with His Majesty’s powerful control over the entire civilization system, I believe we should be more aggressive on the intelligence front!”

Many nodded subtly in agreement.

Shen Hao too.

Because it was indeed so.

This was not a misconception born from blind worship—the closely knit relationship between Shen Hao and the civilization was something other civilizations would find hard to match. Even if someone really managed to infiltrate the Human Civilization Mother Planet, they would be detected immediately.

As for other places, such as the frontline troops and forward bases,

Shen Hao’s control power was not as exaggerated there but still formidable.

Anyone who noticed the slightest discrepancy could directly report to Shen Hao, and a fraction of Divine Thought could be deployed for an investigation, merely at the cost of some effort.

Furthermore, Shen Hao’s support for the frontline scouts was also immense.

If someone truly managed to infiltrate the enemy’s Mother Planet, it would be no different than Shen Hao infiltrating it himself!

Besides, Shen Hao could even enhance their Observation, stealth, and even inference abilities!

Don’t forget, Shen Hao has a Red Mythical-level “Derivation Heaven Skill”!

Even though Red Mythical-level abilities of such quality were not exactly common, they were also not overly rare. Any ability, equipment, or rule of this caliber held the potential to turn the tide of a situation.

The “Derivation Heaven Skill” had unparalleled superiority in the realm of intelligence operations.

So, although the enemy was formidable, the Human Civilization side still maintained a strong confidence.

And this confidence, above all, stemmed from Shen Hao!

“Apart from the intelligence front, we should also prepare for competition in other areas!” Another person stood up to present a topic, “According to the feedback from performance points, the Second Civilization might very well adopt strong-armed tactics and force the other three civilizations. If so, by making deep contact with these three civilizations, there’s a great chance of reaching an agreement…”

As the Analysis Department official continued to elaborate, more and more people subtly nodded in agreement.

This was indeed an apparent but critical point.

If the Second Civilization attracted the remaining three civilizations by its own allure, convincing them to sacrifice their own rankings to assist it, the likelihood was exceedingly low.

To put it bluntly—the Second Civilization had lost the top position!

This was the most significant and most tangible effect of the civilization rankings, aside from the rewards.

Regardless of whether the Human Civilization cheated or if their strength was inferior to the Second Civilization, being able to secure the first position and maintaining it meant that the Human Civilization had greater potential!

And potential was the most crucial thing in this endless trial!

Choosing to not prioritize potential, but only focusing on current strength, would mean that after following a few more trials, elimination awaited once again.

It was potential that allowed for a longer and stronger journey, and it was potential that brought the hope of reaching the ultimate pinnacle of the Civilization Trial, truly breaking free from this perilous cage!

All civilizations understood that being an affiliated civilization already signified failure, and if one were to become an affiliate of an affiliated civilization…

Destruction would be extremely close.

So, this was also a significant advantage for human civilization after seizing first place, and it must be utilized no matter what.

At the end of this proposal, the high-level strategist also suggested courting the third and fourth places.

During this trial, there was a gap after the second place and likewise a gap after the fourth place. Just the civilization in fourth place alone, whether in terms of potential or strength, was at least twice as formidable as the fifth, or even several times more so!

Their choice was just as crucial.

It was believed that the Second Civilization was also actively taking relevant countermeasures.

Following this, those present at the meeting continued to propose one measure after another, including the acceleration of absorbing powerful native civilization forces, deepening enhancement and cooperation with Thunder Fire Civilization and Casey Civilization, and even the possibility of new trial civilizations joining, as well as speeding up their own development, aiming to reach the pivotal point of Civilization Mall Level 51 as soon as possible.

Currently, it seemed that the Civilization Mall Level of the Second Civilization had not reached Level 51. This was easy to conjecture, as Shen Hao held the initial intelligence, and the points intelligence within the trial could be deduced with relative accuracy from the performance values.

The Civilization Mall Level of the Second Civilization should be at Level 49.

Although it was two levels higher than that of human civilization, the doubling of progression with each level made it increasingly difficult to advance. With a sevenfold points hack, human civilization still had a great opportunity to catch up.

At the end of the meeting, Shen Hao looked at everyone and slowly said, “This will be our first experience in intense competition with other trial civilizations, but it certainly won’t be the last. Although different from the main struggles we faced in the past, I have strong confidence in us. Victory will inevitably be ours!”

“Victory to Your Majesty!” Dong Gong stood at the forefront, smiling, yet his eyes were filled with glory.

Everyone else felt the same way.

As long as he remained seated before civilization, everyone and even the entire civilization feared nothing!

So what about a Chosen One with Red Mythical Talent? Are they as mighty as His Majesty?

What about the formidable trial civilizations? They are still left far behind!

The future belongs to humans, and victory will inevitably be ours, too!

After the meeting, a series of policies and plans decided upon were rapidly pushed forward. The people at the rear, including the frontline warriors, knew that another trial civilization had decided to challenge their position.

But whether it was this group or that, there was not much worry, let alone fear, rather an eager anticipation to try their strength.

“What was that trial civilization that last openly challenged us called again? Desert Tower Civilization?”

“Those laborers from the Desert Tower Civilization are truly useful.”

“Hilarious, there really are some who don’t believe in bad luck.”

“I almost feel we’re bullying them too much, our Emperor is like using a cheat.”

“Who said anything about cheating? Where’s the evidence? Besides, what’s wrong with cheating? If you can’t handle it, don’t play.”

“Just wait and see, they might end up joining us in the future.”

“It’s not a matter of might; it’s highly probable.”

“If we really can’t beat them, just lay low for a bit. With everyone’s effort, it won’t take long to crush them back.”

“Right, don’t fight too fiercely. Whether it’s our loss or theirs, once we become one family, it’s our loss.”

Discussions like these emerged on the internet, almost without any sense of pressure among the people.

After all, even human civilization itself had come to understand, after such a long period, just how astonishing the performance of their Chosen One Association President, His Majesty the Human Emperor, the Sovereign of the Eternal Divine Kingdom, and possessor of the Dominator Talent, really was!

People might worry about the present strength, feel the current pressure, but they would never doubt the future of civilization!
