Chapter 705: Chapter 490: True Human Eternity!_2

This isn’t simply turning oneself into the essence of civilization.

It is about integrating oneself with the entire concept of human civilization.

From now on, any place where human civilization exists, even if it’s just a name being spread, will be where Shen Hao’s consciousness extends. He could even use this authority to project into the real world, even unto all the Heavenly Worlds.

Moreover, Shen Hao does not have to worry about his own demise.

Once merged with the concept, as long as even a trace of human civilization remains, even if it’s just a name, Shen Hao can be reborn from the concept.

And with him, the history, knowledge, and culture of all human civilization.

“Truly, humanity will endure forever!”

Shen Hao took a deep breath and reopened his eyes. This time, the sensation was even stronger than before.

He felt as if he had become infinite, and wherever he looked, he saw the entire human civilization system, even every world he had experienced before, every trial.

Even–he found every civilization he encountered within the Civilization Trade System!

Yes, even those civilizations that had no intelligence or information exchange with human civilization could be found by Shen Hao, due to the causal links previously severed by the Civilization Trial System.

This concept is completely different.

If Shen Hao wishes, he could even establish his own “Civilization Trial Alliance”.

However, just as this idea surfaced, it was immediately reinforced and strengthened by Shen Hao.

That’s right, why must human civilization join an existing Civilization Trial Alliance?

Perhaps it was indeed the precursor to the cheat panel and indeed the root of how human civilization and Shen Hao have gotten to where they are today.

But that does not mean Shen Hao and human civilization are indebted to it.

In the Heavenly Worlds, there is no such thing as affection between forces, only relationships of interest.

Now that Shen Hao has this ability, joining the Civilization Trial Alliance and interacting with civilizations far more powerful than humans brings more disadvantages than creating a new “Civilization Trial Alliance” on his own!

“Perhaps, it’s worth exploring thoroughly,” Shen Hao squinted his eyes thoughtfully.

But right now, there are more pressing matters.

–The new trial is finally about to begin.

With Shen Hao’s formal entry into the Eighth Stage, with both Talent and Profession advancing to the Colorful Supreme Level, human civilization has reached a relative peak in terms of power.

For the time being, major breakthroughs are unlikely.

This is the best time to start a new trial.

The entire human civilization is preparing for this moment.

“Based on the Civilization Trial System’s past pattern, the difficulty of this trial should be around the Late Eighth Stage and will not touch upon the Ninth Stage level,” Shen Hao convened a preparatory meeting before the trial, setting the tone right from the start.

After so many trials and recruiting so many Trial Civilizations, human civilization has gained certain insights into the arrangements of the Civilization Trial System.

While not absolute, the probability of a world at the Late Eighth Stage level is almost 99.99%.

As for the worlds of the Ninth Stage?

Bluntly, such worlds are so rare that even Ming Hong, a veteran traveler through the Heavenly Worlds for billions of years, has only heard of three.

Heard of, not visited.

These three are naturally the Main Worlds controlled by the three Heavenly Supremes.

Moreover, it is highly likely they are not naturally formed but artificially crafted over a long time by the Heavenly Supremes.

Once, Ming Hong even believed that creating a separate Heavenly World might be the key to breaking through and becoming a Heavenly Supreme, which is why he created worlds.

To become a Creator.

Of course, it turned out to be a mistake.

But it still shows the rarity of the Ninth Stage worlds.

And the difference in levels is far too great.

By the Eighth Stage, the gap between each level had become unimaginably vast.

At this moment, Shen Hao’s power was so formidable, his Talent and Profession had both been promoted to the Colorful Supreme Level, but even so, if a Level 74 Warrior appeared, no matter how weak, Shen Hao had no absolute confidence that he could defeat them.

Pushing open the door to the Eighth Stage was like stepping into a new world.

Outside the door were the insignificant ants of the past, not worth mentioning, but inside, lay a boundlessly vast realm.

Therefore, the Late Eighth Stage represented the most extreme situation conceivable.

“Although battle and challenge are within the same great stage, the level of danger is unprecedented, including those Trial Civilizations; their Civilization Levels may very well have reached the mid-stage, which would be a level capable of utterly crushing us in all aspects on a Civilization scale,” Shen Hao spoke again, “Considering such danger, this time, I’m prepared to incorporate the entire Civilization System into my body, under my protection.”

This was the key point of the meeting!

Indeed, what the former Business Alliance Hierarch could do, Shen Hao, now embodying the Civilization itself, could naturally do with ease.

After stepping into the Eighth Stage, his Life Level had become thoroughly equivalent to that of the Heavenly Worlds.

His body contained power as vast and endless as countless worlds, even capable of independently creating numerous universes within himself.

To accommodate the entire Human Civilization System was a trivial task.

And the benefits of doing so were self-evident.

A smaller target meant more freedom and flexibility.

Even when facing a mid-stage Civilization of the Eighth Stage, Shen Hao had ample confidence that he could withdraw with ease.

Moreover, this could be utilized to lower the early-stage visibility of the entire Human Civilization, allowing him to develop unassumingly.

The benefits were manifold.

This piece of news indeed brightened the eyes of everyone in the meeting.

Including that of Ming Hong.

This former Heavenly Giant, now the eldest and most experienced Warrior with the deepest understanding within Human Civilization, was equally astounded.

And even filled with longing.

If it were simply a matter of carrying the whole Human Civilization with him, this would not be difficult for Ming Hong either.

No matter how vast a Civilization, when condensed, it would at most encompass a few star systems.

But this was completely different from the “carrying” Shen Hao spoke of.

Not to mention the Extraordinary Level inherent to the Human Civilization Mother Star, just the complex and immense Laws alone were not something an ordinary individual could simply bear.

Only Shen Hao could do so without strain.

Even to say that he himself was the Civilization, the true Mother Star of Human Civilization, would not be an exaggeration.

“Perhaps, this is the correct path,” the more Ming Hong observed over the centuries, the more he felt this to be true.

He had never seen any integration of Extraordinary Individuals with their entire Civilization as harmonious and mutually empowering as the Human one.

Even those Faith Divine Systems called “Divine Countries” couldn’t compare.

Because the existence of a “Divine Country” limited the Potential of a Civilization.

It kept it decisively bound beneath its believers.

But what about Human Civilization?

Although Shen Hao remained the strongest and continued to envelop the entire Civilization, the rate of development of the Civilization itself was potentially even greater than that of Shen Hao!

One need not look further than the Favored Gods advancing to the Extraordinary Stage before the Main Gods, something inconceivable in a Faith Divine System.

At this moment, Ming Hong could already envision it.

Should Shen Hao become the true Heavenly Supreme, Human Civilization might just directly become the most powerful Supreme force amongst all the Heavens!

And in turn, Shen Hao would become the strongest Supreme!

“Perhaps, after I truly step into the Heavenly Supreme level, I could continue to stay here,” Ming Hong even earnestly pondered this choice in his heart, “The path of the Transcendent has no end, and even the status of Heavenly Supreme won’t be the culmination; Human Civilization may well be the closest to the path of the future.”
