Chapter 283: Chapter 191: This Wave Must Rob the Rich to Aid the Poor_1
Near the Abyss Levels Traveling Merchant, many Divine Lord Civilization mecha pilots were lurking among the ceaseless flow of luminous beings.
Among them was the divine prodigy Xue Luo from the Divine Lord Civilization. Everyone was observing in secret—
To avoid attracting too much attention from other mecha pilots, divine prodigy Ying Tian used a very covert method of communication.
Even they could not listen in to the specifics, only wait for signals from divine prodigy Ying Tian.
What they didn’t expect was—
Divine prodigy Ying Tian seemed to be having a pleasant conversation with the Enigmatic Mecha Pilot.
In reality, his mindset was already in disarray.
“Impossible! You absolutely can’t be Jiang Chen!”
“What kind of talent did Jiang Chen possess? As a 2nd Rank mecha pilot, he could defeat the strongest peak-level legendary overlord among the 7th Rank… That’s equivalent to the power of an 8th Rank already!”
“When you killed me initially, the power you displayed was only just enough to reach the threshold of 5th Rank.”
“You dare to claim you are Jiang Chen?”
“…How about I show you my ID?”
Jiang Chen was amused.
“Kid, you’re so enthusiastic about me…”
“Is it because during the Fire Transmission support for the 4th Rank, I demonstrated the strength of a 5th Rank, so your superior sent you to woo me?”
“But have you ever considered—”
“Even that ancient Primordial Fire Civilization couldn’t find a way to break through the Fire Transmission limits, and I’m merely a mecha pilot from a new civilization. Could I possibly be more formidable than the Primordial Fire Civilization?”
“Or is it possible—”
“that my growth rate is just too fast?”
Growth too fast?
Divine prodigy Ying Tian remembered clearly.
The initial support strength limit was 600,000.
After the Enigmatic Mecha erupted, the composite strength should be around 1.8 million, approaching 2 million.
Yet, from his appearance to the full burst of power, it had only been a matter of minutes…
Are you telling me this is growth?
In just a matter of minutes, the strength tripled?
You fucking cheesing?
Er…
But if it’s Jiang Chen, it somehow makes sense.
With his identity as the original Beacon of Hope, he pierced through the Legendary Shadow. Such exaggerated strength was already enough to earn him a widely recognized title.
[Cheesing Fighter]
Having penetrated the pinnacle of the 7th Rank Legendary Shadow, isn’t a bit of cheesing quite normal?
“…”
Divine prodigy Ying Tian’s thoughts completely crumbled.
Wait a minute.
According to this line of thought.
The lifeline of the Divine Lord Civilization: the BUG of the Fire Transmitter traits, didn’t exist from the beginning?
Maybe, the Enigmatic Mecha Pilot, who was seen as a lifeline, is actually the greatest enemy of the Divine Lord Civilization in the future?
Huh?
Then what is the Divine Lord Civilization struggling with?
What exactly am I trying to win over?
What’s the point of all my waiting these days?
A storm of thoughts surged for an instant.
A thought wave transmitted.
“My Lord, Ying Tian cannot choose the civilization of his birth, nor can he decide his future…”
“Although I have long disliked those evil Fire Plunder tactics and felt helpless against them, forced to bend the knee and be an accomplice, now that you have enlightened me, I’ve realized I have the opportunity to join the Fire Transmission, to start anew. I’m overjoyed and hope to be taken under your wing, my Lord!”
Divine prodigy Ying Tian instantly defected.
He had figured out the key to understanding the situation.
The current Divine Lord Civilization is like a huge ship about to hit an iceberg, seemingly stable now but doomed to sink in the future—
The talent of Jiang Chen has surpassed the limits that a level 8 civilization can bear.
Before long, he would grow strong enough to crush a level 8 civilization.
Even with the “Abyss Protection Mechanism” in place, civilizations are cautious about carelessly crossing the Abyss and find it difficult to communicate with other civilizations…
However, such mechanisms, just like the Dark Forest Theory, are the result of abyssal conditions and are not absolute rules.
For example, [Infinite Purgatory] represented by [Purgatory Level].
If the civilization of Planet Blue Star reaches the corresponding level and encounters this disaster,
they can use Infinite Purgatory as a stepping stone to interact with the Divine Lord Civilization.
Just like the three major civilizations of [Purgatory Level] are already fully capable and entitled to initiate a civilization war.
But because Infinite Purgatory itself is teeming with countless horrific creatures, the three civilizations can only fend off for themselves.
Therefore, they haven’t genuinely fought yet, remaining in a state of half-alliance, half-competition.
Struggling to survive, striving to grow…
Once any side fully grows and defeats the Infinite Purgatory disaster, acquiring strength beyond the other two civilizations,
a war between civilizations will inevitably begin!
In fact, most wars between civilizations within the Abyss start in this way.
Of course, civilizations are not only about warfare—
Fire Transmission and Fire Plunder have developed many exclusive traits over many years, being innate enemies at the root, that’s why civilization wars are prone to happen easily.
In more cases, it’s multiple civilizations working together against a common disaster.
After eliminating the disaster, they form alliances, their interactions become closer, and, over a long stretch of time, they gradually assimilate and merge…
Given the current situation of [Purgatory Level],
If Jiang Chen grows, a war between Fire Transmission and Fire Plunder is inevitable.
And just now, the Divine Lord Civilization lost the last of its advantages…
Or rather, there was never an advantage from the very beginning.
In such a scenario, even if the Divine Lord Civilization wanted to drag the other two major civilizations down with it, it would be hard to achieve their goal.
The Ancient Eon and Bluegreen Deity civilizations, having withstood Infinite Purgatory for many years,
would not likely put all their chips on others.
To simply avoid conflict and hold defensively, sacrificing some of their foundation and power, to endure until Jiang Chen grows, is entirely manageable.
As for Jiang Chen, he cares even less.
The civilization of Planet Blue Star is far from being qualified to face a disaster like Infinite Purgatory.
