Chapter 480: Chapter 280: Future Line Changes Again_2
The Mude System being able to build such a vast and refined area here in such a short time naturally couldn’t just bring in military devices; there must be a large number of development devices as well.
What we’re acquiring now is precisely these things.
The most precious among them, of course, is the Phase Space Device, also known as the Space Overlapping Device.
Initially, Shen Shi thought that technologies like these were already commonplace, but after truly understanding the current state of the cosmos, he realized such technology is unimaginable even for a C-level Civilization, and only B-level Civilizations can actually grasp it.
For example, the Grotto Heaven spaceship, which Shen Shi once traded for with the Collector, utilized this technology.
It could compress the entire Grotto Heaven Spaceship to only a fraction of its original size.
But this application was still very rough.
The devices acquired now, however, are different.
They are extremely mature, ranging from small portable devices to large devices that can accommodate massive production factories, and Shen Shi obtained an important production line. With this, the Solar System of human civilization could house far more space than before, further unleashing the development of the Teleportation Mother’s Star region.
The importance of this to teleportation civilizations is indescribable.
Not to mention anything else.
The Gus Land would definitely be willing to pay an unimaginable price to obtain the production line and technology of such devices.
Even though this may not be considered precious among the aged A-level civilizations, it still holds value.
If not for the significance of this war elevating the status of human civilization to nearly equal that of the Thousand Alliance and the Mude System, acquiring such devices so simply would have been nearly impossible.
Let alone some other things.
And when Shen Shi brought all these to the main world, unsurprisingly, the world line once again shifted.
This time, not only did the human civilization three thousand years later become stronger, but a series of chain reactions also occurred, resulting in human civilization finally not being obscure anymore.
Its reputation has been acknowledged beyond the Pirate Alliance. At least the Mude System is aware that behind the Pirate Alliance, there exists such a powerful civilization, and the strength of human civilization has been given a "suspected A-level" evaluation, similar to Gus Land.
As for the reason, it is because human civilization conducted in-depth cooperation with Gus Land.
Cooperation involved, of course, those Space Overlapping Devices.
"Although Gus Land may not be able to compare in most technologies with the three major A-level civilizations, its average strength indeed surpasses many of these B9-level civilizations quite a bit. That said, human civilization has already received such an assessment, but the new world line still hasn’t appeared..." Shen Shi pondered over the information contained in this change while reviewing new histories and situations of the third future line.
The previous births of new world lines happened when human civilization reached C-level and B-level three thousand years later.
But this time, it seems not to be the case.
It is evident.
Once reaching a level surpassing B9-level civilizations, there is no clearer classification. For example, comparing Gus Land to the three major A-level civilizations, some technologies are very close, like Star System Teleportation Technology, but others are vastly different, like Spatial Overlapping Technology. If Shen Shi is not mistaken, there might also be some technological gaps among the three major A-level civilizations.
Opening a fourth future line may require human civilization’s hard strength to be able to contend with the three major A-level civilizations.
As this signifies that human civilization has truly become one of the overlords in the known regions of the cosmos.
"That day doesn’t seem too far off now," Shen Shi gazed at the vast starry sky outside, recalling the journey so far, feeling an unprecedented anticipation.
And the current war is the best opportunity to take a giant step toward this goal.
"Since we already have some reputation, let’s be more direct," Shen Shi said while looking at the Star Map, "Send someone to the Thousand Alliance, tell them we are willing to assist them in taking down the forefront base of the Mude System, and ask what price they are willing to offer."
"Target the Mude?" some council members were puzzled, "But equilibrium is the most beneficial result for us. In this Star System, the Thousand Alliance is strong and the Mude System is weak, besides we’ve already made the first contact with the Mude System, the second contact would be easier, shouldn’t we help Mude?"
"If this were the only frontline battlefield, indeed so." Shen Shi shook his head, "But this is not. Failure here can’t really damage the Mude System, the most important thing is, did you forget the existence of the Pasture Master?"
"The Pasture Master..."
Everyone fell silent.
Unlike the Thousand Alliance, the Mude System has a supreme Venerable, who is the Pasture Master.
Even at such an intense state of war, the Pasture Master remains shrouded in mystery.
The known few interventions have all had decisive effects.
Daring to say no more.
But their personal power is certainly above all known life, at the very least, even if enhanced by the Bronze Altar and mastering Time Energy, Shen Shi has no absolute confidence to preserve himself in front of the Pasture Master.
The disparity in scale is too vast.
According to the information, during this war between systems, the Pasture Master’s first intervention obliterated all enemies on the entire battlefield in one strike, that massive Primordial Energy had become entirely tangible, even a supernova explosion could not compare.
No one knows how strong the Pasture Master has become through the long-term nurturing and supplying of the entire Mude System.
Were it not for the ultimate limitations of personal power on such a battlefield, there might not even be a war.
Shen Shi even suspects that the Pasture Master is a supercivilization that has transformed all its people into a mental form fusing into its Consciousness World, otherwise, there’s no reason to demonstrate power at such a level.
Very unfortunately.
Human civilization is also a civilization relying on individual power at this moment.
The existence of the Holy Land and Shen Shi’s power each accounts for half of human civilization. Without either, human civilization could fall into an abyss on this dangerous battlefield.
And now.
In front of the Pasture Master, there is indeed one missing.
Therefore, realizing that human civilization has gained considerable prestige following this world line change, Shen Shi decisively altered the original plan.
He decided to lean toward the Thousand Alliance as much as possible!
After all, the Pasture Master’s threat to him is truly significant. Previously he might not have gotten involved here, but afterwards, it’s not certain anymore.
After hearing Shen Shi’s analysis and discussion, the other council members also started to realize that human civilization’s engagement in this war seemed to be gaining benefits everywhere, but essentially has always been walking a tightrope. Besides the Pasture Master, who can assure that the Thousand Alliance doesn’t have a hidden trump card to deliver a lethal strike?
If the situation could become dangerous, then rather than prolonging it to extract profit, it is better to try to score big before retreating.
Not to mention the benefits the Thousand Alliance could offer, just the plunder after breaching the Mude Base is a perfect opportunity.
Of course, there are risks involved.
For example, if the Thousand Alliance decides to turn against them after the operation.
The likelihood of this is not small.
Thus, it requires thorough planning and cautious responses.
After lengthy planning, the delegation sent for negotiations with the Thousand Alliance finally set out.
This time, Shen Shi did not go personally.
According to historical records, his presence might already be under the watch of the Mude System and the Thousand Alliance. If he shows up again at the Thousand Alliance or Mude Base as before, he is more likely to face attempts of direct capture than negotiations.
Even with the confidence to escape capture, it would expose his cards, not to mention largely reducing the possibility of negotiations.
