Chapter 477: Chapter 373: The First Civilization of the Past!
Shen Hao wasn’t surprised by Dalagon’s sudden gesture.
With the potential and ability that Human Civilization had exhibited, as well as their style, attracting Affiliated Civilizations was only natural.
Even if there was another civilization that was far more powerful than Human Civilization currently was, it couldn’t compare when it came to potential, resulting in far less allure for potential Affiliated Civilizations.
In fact, after going through the Civilization Trial multiple times, Human Civilization had almost developed its own unique style.
That was to first utilize its shocking performance and ranking to gain a certain level of prestige, then use that prestige along with its actual potential to attract those civilizations that are ranked lower and are urgently in need of a Sovereign Civilization. Next, by relying on the power of these civilizations, they’d come together to deter those civilizations that were already powerful.
In the end, securing initiative, maximizing rewards, benefits, and evaluations in all aspects.
The last Trial had been conducted in the same process.
And now, it should be the same.
However, even so, Shen Hao wasn’t in a hurry to agree.
“You should understand that it’s not yet the time to decide on the Affiliated Civilization slots,” Shen Hao said calmly, “At most, I can give you a verbal promise now. However, we at Human Civilization regard the Affiliated Civilization system as a core strategy. As long as you have enough merit and demonstrate sufficient loyalty, the slot will certainly belong to one of yours.”
“Understood,” Dalagon nodded.
That was all he needed, just that assurance.
The cooperation during this period, especially the collaboration that extended down to the Soldiers, had given them sufficient insight into Human Civilization.
It was indeed a civilization that highly valued the Affiliated Civilization system.
The current Affiliated Civilizations, in fact, some of them were gradually not being able to keep up, but they still maintained basic dignity and interests.
Human Civilization needed to use such a display to increase the loyalty of other Affiliated Civilizations.
That was one of the reasons why Dalagon was so decisive.
Human Civilization was very clear about where its advantages lay and would hold on to and continuously expand them, a decisively rare choice for a Sovereign Civilization, nearly perfect!
After this, Dalagon was not even in a hurry to return to his own civilization but stayed by Shen Hao’s side, helping to manage the battlefield.
He was certainly acting the part of an Affiliated Civilization.
This difference in behavior also made Thunder God realize something, but Thunder God’s mood wasn’t looking too good.
He was not only lacking in potential compared to Dalagon, but he had even lost track of his opponent just now, which made his contributions seem insufficient compared to Dalagon’s.
If the slots were limited, he probably couldn’t compete with the Casey Civilization, now ranked ninth.
“There’s no need to mind,” Shen Hao seemed to notice Thunder God’s mood and calmly reassured him, “This time, it was not easy to kill all twenty Weird Demons. Being able to eliminate the first thirteen is already a good outcome.”
Yes, although Shen Hao had hoped to kill all twenty, it was obviously difficult.
The main issue was that the Great Sun Immortal Sect’s strength was not enough to lure all the Weird Demons.
Killing fourteen, including two that were at least at the Mid Stage Sixth Stage, was already a result beyond expectations.
Moreover, Shen Hao easily kept his promise—when he took action, not a single one present could escape.
Thunder God knew these were words of comfort, but the fact that Shen Hao offered them was already a stance that settled his heart a bit.
“The scale of this battle must be the most exaggerated one since the start of the Trial,” Thunder God pondered, feeling the need to take initiative, “The Second Civilization will definitely seize the opportunity to catch up with all their might. During this time, our Thunder Fire Civilization can give up on our own ranking competition and assist with all our might!”
It was courage that was not insignificant.
After all, the Thunder Fire Civilization was now basically secure at the sixth position, but a careless move could potentially see them being overtaken.
Offering to assist Human Civilization with all their might, the civilizations behind them would not let this opportunity slip away.
However, Shen Hao slowly shook his head.
“There’s no need,” his behavior had always been quite amiable, but at this moment, he genuinely displayed an unparalleled dominance and confidence, “The civilizations that we catch up to will never have the chance to surpass us again!”
…
Dalagon and Thunder God looked at Shen Hao at this moment, both silent, but it was evident they were somewhat moved.
Tall claims were easy to make, but the key was, they actually deeply agreed with what Shen Hao said!
Yes, considering the astonishing potential displayed by Human Civilization, even if the Second Civilization was more powerful, the hopes of catching up were incredibly slim.
Just realizing this point was enough to strengthen their resolution to follow Shen Hao and invest in Human Civilization!
After all, all the Trial Civilizations were facing an endless series of Trials!
In the boundless Trials, fleeting power was inconsequential. Whether it was the Casey Civilization or Thunder Fire Civilization, they had once been indisputably powerful, with experiences of overwhelming other Trial Civilizations, but they had still reached this point.
Why?
Their potential was insufficient. In the increasingly powerful and dangerous Trials, they eventually reached their limits.
