Invincibility Begins with Mastery of Fist Techniques

Chapter 690: Chapter 683: Civilization

The True River Realm, spanning an area of three hundred million light-years...

The True River Pan-universe Alliance, formed by three great civilizations along with countless others, establishing the corresponding laws for contact and exchange between cosmic civilizations...

Envoys sent by the Sacred Lotus Civilization...

This series of bombshell revelations left both Zhou Yuanjue and Zhou Ji momentarily speechless.

Three hundred million light-years...

After all, at humanity’s current level of civilization, the most distant celestial bodies they could observe were already tens of billions of light-years away.

Three hundred million light-years was a distance that had previously existed only in the realm of human imagination.

Even light would have to travel for three hundred million years to cross it.

No one could say for certain how many powerful civilizations or terrifying life forms existed across such a vast expanse.

And even this three-hundred-million-light-year region was but a corner of the entire boundless universe.

The universe was simply too vast, far beyond the inherent comprehension of a Low level Civilization like humanity.

Seeing the silent expressions on Zhou Yuanjue and Zhou Ji’s faces, Nainte knew what they were thinking.

’For these Low level Civilizations, such immense and advanced power was something they couldn’t even begin to fathom. They must be in a state of profound shock right now.’

In the past, Nainte might have put on an air of superiority befitting a High level Life form and mocked their ignorance. But given his current situation, he wouldn’t dare show the slightest hint of condescension, not even if he had a hundred times the nerve.

"Actually, it’s not as vast as you might think. In the material world, it is indeed a difficult distance to traverse. But in the True Realm, for certain beings of unimaginable power, crossing it is instantaneous, provided they are prepared."

"Even an ordinary True Realm Life form might not be able to travel the entire True River Realm in a lifetime, but if they have the will and the means, exploring a tenth of it is certainly not a problem..."

Nainte explained kindly, seemingly trying to dispel the wide-eyed shock of Zhou Yuanjue and the others.

"Excellent. Excellent. This is the world I’ve been searching for. Only something so vast and powerful is worthy of me transcending it..."

However, before Nainte could finish, a yearning smile spread across Zhou Yuanjue’s face.

Endless space, innumerable races and civilizations, countless experts and life forms.

Wasn’t this vast world, far beyond the imagination of any life on Earth, the very place he yearned for?

There, he could cast aside any fear of limits and constantly surpass one powerful target after another, while also continually surpassing himself.

That place was his paradise!!

’It seems... he doesn’t need my reassurance after all...’

Nainte instantly swallowed the rest of his words.

"The Sacred Lotus Civilization... Are you referring to the High level Civilization that left some kind of device beneath our planet’s surface?"

Quickly, Zhou Yuanjue suppressed the intense impulse and excitement in his heart and questioned Nainte once more.

"That is a Guiding Device. It’s an action stipulated by the laws of contact within the True River Realm."

"Originally, to ensure the diversity of cosmic civilizations, the True River Pan-universe Alliance prohibited direct interference with Low level Civilizations that had not yet made contact with the True Realm, forbidding any actions that would forcibly alter a civilization’s path of progress."

"At the same time, for High level Civilizations, the ecosystems and Planet True Source of Low level Civilizations are important resources, so contact could not be completely forbidden. In the end, a compromise was chosen."

"For Low level Civilizations independently discovered by a High level Civilization, a Guiding Device can be secretly placed, on the condition that it does not interfere with the civilization’s development. Once that civilization reaches a critical juncture and gives birth to a life form that surpasses the biosphere’s control, the device may be activated, granting access to the knowledge of the High level Civilization."

"This gives the life forms of the Low level Civilization a choice: either walk the slow path of independent evolution, or accept the gift of the High level Civilization, follow the path it once walked, and become one of its subordinate civilizations."

"And based on your situation, you have now accepted the gift from the Guiding Device left by the Sacred Lotus Civilization and have formed their unique life structure. According to the Alliance’s laws, you now belong to a ’proximate civilization’ of the Sacred Lotus. The Sacred Lotus Civilization will provide you with ’civilizational support.’ In effect, you can already be considered one of their subordinate civilizations."

"Therefore, our mission is to guide the qualified candidates from your civilization into the Sacred Lotus Civilization’s sphere of influence and establish a connection. Then, these candidates can work, study, and engage in Cultivation within the relevant factions of the Sacred Lotus Civilization to reach higher levels. In turn, the Sacred Lotus Civilization will formally establish a channel of contact with your planet’s civilization, perhaps even opening a corresponding passage to the True Realm."

Nainte said.

"A subordinate civilization of the Sacred Lotus..."

Zhou Yuanjue’s eyes narrowed slightly.

Nainte’s words sounded noble and grand, as if everything was dedicated to the development of all cosmic civilizations. However, judging from the condescending attitude he and his partner had when they first arrived on Earth, Zhou Yuanjue knew that the law of the jungle still governed relations between civilizations in the universe.

So-called "support" was just one step away from becoming "domination."

And in all this, the Earth Civilization, being in a position of absolute weakness, had no right to negotiate on equal terms.

No matter where you went, might made right. That was the eternal, unchangeable truth.

’It seems that although we’ve borrowed the advanced knowledge of the Sacred Lotus Civilization, the consequences and the price we’ll have to pay are equally enormous, and now, unavoidable.’

’If we make one wrong move, this could become a crisis even more terrifying than the Blazing Fire’s corrosion.’

"How strong is the Sacred Lotus Civilization?"

Zhou Yuanjue asked.

"Strong. Very strong. They are a behemoth beyond our imagination. Even within the entire Alliance, they hold a certain degree of influence."

"In terms of civilizational ranking, the Sacred Lotus Civilization is a Third level Cosmic Civilization. The strongest power they command can reach the terrifying peak of Type Three, as they are a powerful race that has condensed the ’True Seal.’ They are only one step away from becoming a Tier Four Civilization, also known as a World King Level Civilization."

"Oh, right, you probably don’t understand what that means. Hmm, let me give you an example. Having completed our transformation, we are Type One Life forms. If you complete your transformation, you will also be a Type One Life form. A Type Three Life form is two life-leaps beyond us. That’s a gap that can’t be measured even in light-years."

"To be honest, even I have rarely seen a Type Two Life form, let alone imagine how powerful a life form of that level truly is."

Nainte said, shaking his head.
