"The accuracy of the Primordial Energy Steel Seal is confirmed, you may issue any command to it. Due to its unique nature of transaction, according to the supreme transaction rule number thirty-four, it will undergo thought limitation to diminish black market information, prohibiting any proactive leakage of black market information, and forbidding others from maliciously digging for black market information."
Shen Shi looked at this sentence, and his pupils involuntarily narrowed slightly.
Such a function actually exists.
He finally understood why Gong Chu, on that day when discussing letting humans from clans beyond the Solar System return directly through the black market, had no worries about black market leakage.
This loophole had already been sealed by the black market rules long ago.
What kind of device is the "relic body" of the black market terminal, and was it created by the same civilization as the Time Crystal?
A thought suddenly emerged in Shen Shi’s mind.
According to the intelligence disseminated inside the black market, the body of the black market terminal was discovered by a certain human about eight to nine hundred years ago, and various functions of this black market were written based on its functionalities, making it an exclusive possession of humanity. If he could live to that time, or even find the black market terminal body before others, could he modify some of its functions to make it more suitable for himself?
Especially regarding confidentiality.
If... its confidentiality function is truly that powerful, could he consider bringing some trustworthy people from the Future World, or even a fleet to traverse the past, to quicker help enhance powers there, or directly battle the enemy?
If that really could be done.
It would be like "Bringing the Legion Back to the Past," "I Helped the Ancestors Fight," "Traveling Three Thousand Years Ago" type of scenarios.
Thinking of that scene, Shen Shi felt a slight compulsion.
Unfortunately, he cannot gamble on it now.
And not to mention such possibilities, even now, Shen Shi cannot estimate what kind of change this warship would bring to the future if brought to the past world in that instant.
Perhaps, this time would bring a complete transformation to the Future World.
Everything in front of him, including the Collector, Gong Chu, and all previous transactions, would disappear under such earth-shattering changes.
"Gong Mo." Shen Shi called out the name of the Collector once again, simply saying, "Thank you."
"We should be thanking the Clan Leader instead." The Collector unexpectedly emitted some fearful emotions.
Of course, this was intended for Shen Shi to see, indicating his attitude.
Shen Shi didn’t say anything more.
He just stood up, and with a thought, he transferred thousands of books as trade items to the Collector.
"Since I’ve acquired the warship, I should leave now. This portion of the ancient books is your reward."
"Too, too many!" The Collector instantly fell into immense joy.
Although previously agreed that Shen Shi would reward him with ancient books after completing the task, the Collector originally thought at most there would be around ten books; having several dozen would suffice to make him ecstatic, but never did he imagine hundreds and thousands directly!
"The ancient books I possess are vast like smoke; if I only reward a little each time, it would take tens of thousands of years for you to even read all the heritage." Shen Shi softly said.
"Then let it take tens of thousands of years!" The Collector laughed, "As long as the heart contains fervent desire and craving, the survival instinct of intelligent life is endless. I believe, before reading all the ancient books, I will not reach life’s end."
"I hope it’s as you say." There was a trace of farewell emotion in Shen Shi’s heart.
"Is the Clan Leader a member of the Primordial Sect?" The Collector eagerly said, "I’ve also discovered a personal device extremely suitable for the Clan Leader, but the technology of that device is quite powerful, possibly having already reached true B-level. I may need some time, yet within a Mother Star year, I will certainly bring it to the Clan Leader!"
One Mother Star year...
Shen Shi shook his head helplessly in anonymity.
If it were a few months, even if he delayed revealing the warship in the modern world, he’d wait for this device.
After all, the Life Evolution Device alone brought him tremendous benefits.
He can still maintain the status of "humanity’s strongest person" primarily by relying on the assistance of this device.
But regrettably, he might not get it in one Mother Star year.
"Let’s leave it at that." Shen Shi laughed, and his body began gradually fading, finally logging out and leaving the black market.
Initially contemplating whether to meet Gong Chu once more, he decided against it.
During this period, he had gained some understanding of the so-called Master of Primordial Energy. At this level, Primordial Energy Technology, inherently possessing certain idealistic mysticism traces, advanced considerably in this direction.
It had become more mysterious and esoteric.
He wasn’t sure if visiting Gong Chu without cause would result in anything being discovered.
One must never underestimate the intuition of a Master of Primordial Energy. They are akin to humanoid detectors, capable of sensing fleets from tens of light-years away.
When consciousness returned to modern society and saw the giant "egg" quietly lying in personal space, an indescribable complex feeling arose in Shen Shi’s heart.
As long as he takes out this "egg."
Future World will experience earth-shattering, enormous change.
The Time Crystal could also undergo completely unknown transformations.
So many places will become different.
And this has always been his pursuit.
—Utterly changing the fate of human civilization.
However, when truly reaching this moment, he can’t help but feel worried, a fear of the unknown.
This warship is enough to solve the Daike people’s forces, thoroughly resolve the Worren, preventing Blue Star’s fall, but does not guarantee humanity’s future safety.
Once Blue Star falls, the Daike will undoubtedly send people to investigate.
They will eventually discover Blue Star’s differences.
By then, how will humanity’s fate change?
This is all filled with uncertainty.
Shen Shi did not immediately take out the warship; instead, after pacing on the ship multiple times, he turned around and left the biological warship, returning to the Wogte.
"Why did you return today?" Ai Xin’Er noticed Shen Shi’s return immediately and rushed over.
Typically, Shen Shi returns "home" once a week, a rhythm of relaxation and tension, but today was not a scheduled time.
"Just have a major decision to make and wanted to see you afterward." Shen Shi said directly, stepping forward to embrace his wife.
"Oh." Ai Xin’Er asked nothing, merely responded, wrapping her arms tightly around Shen Shi.
Being with Ai Xin’Er always lets Shen Shi recall his initial self.
Primordial Energy can help him recognize his identity but cannot help his self continuously hold onto original aspiration. Yet Ai Xin’Er can, no matter the extent of Shen Shi’s growth or change, he can always find his past self within Ai Xin’Er, finding that small bottom line beneath grand goals—prosperous life, family well-being.
Thus, after just spending some time, Shen Shi no longer hesitated.
No matter how the future may unfold, no matter what changes may occur.
He only needs to fully safeguard his small family, and then do his best to safeguard humanity’s big family, and that is enough.
"Would you like to see our new warship?" Shen Shi asked, lowering his head to gently caress his wife’s charming face, smiling.
"New warship?" Ai Xin’Er was momentarily stunned, then quickly understood Shen Shi’s intention, exclaiming in surprise, "We have a new warship?"
"That’s right, it was obtained with difficulty." Shen Shi smiled, "The Wogte is satisfactory, but it’s insufficient to face the Daike civilization’s warships. However, the new warship is different, its technology far surpasses that of the Daike civilization at present. When the time comes, it will definitely bring a big surprise to those Daike bases."
