The words of the Starlight people have already revealed a lot of crucial information.
The most important point is that the culture of Human Civilization is very likely intentionally shaped by the legendary Relic Civilization.
This alone is intelligence beyond imagination!
That’s why the representatives of other civilizations envy this Starlight person so much.
Because he will be qualified to truly master Human Civilization and possibly access the secrets of the Relic Civilization.
Even if not, simply being able to thoroughly control the trading market of Human Civilization is still unimaginably powerful!
And this immense benefit is about to fall into the hands of this Starlight person right in front of them.
But, what can they gain?
These powerful civilization representatives must have performed countless calculations in an instant; no one would naively think that the Starlight people talk about all this in front of them simply because they don’t care about the confidentiality involved.
So, this inevitably includes some sort of scheme.
And what they can easily imagine is further submission, even support.
However, regardless of these people’s thoughts, Shen Shi remains calm in the face of the Starlight person who exhibits enthusiasm and declares to rule all of humanity.
After all, he knows that even if the other party achieves their goals and truly becomes the King of all humanity, it is still impossible to control the Holy Land.
Holding the supreme authority of the Holy Land, he has already, on some level, stood in an invincible position.
"I can promise you, even support you," Shen Shi said, "But I demand supervision rights, and even have greater authority than you for a certain period. I need to represent the people to determine whether you are truly loyal to humanity; otherwise, you can only rely on force to take Human Civilization from us, to take a Human Civilization that may no longer belong to humanity, nor to the Relic Civilization."
Shen Shi’s attitude perfectly matches his current status.
Even his indifference is completely understandable.
After all, Shen Shi at this moment is devoted to humanity, yet amidst these stronger civilizations, somewhat disillusioned, all his goals, all his requirements are only for the strength of Human Civilization.
Such a leader would not mind giving up power for the strength of Human Civilization.
Just as initially stated.
On the surface, in the hearts of the people here, Shen Shi is already a "transparent card."
So, the Starlight person doesn’t haggle either.
He similarly understands that if he wants to completely master humanity while preserving human culture, or even gain the trading market’s recognition, he must first truly view himself as human.
"I agree," he smiled, "I’ve already announced, along with my unique forces, to break away from the Starlight Civilization and join Human Civilization—is this sincerity enough?"
Upon saying this, Shen Shi even felt the shock from the other people around him at this moment.
It was a kind of disbelief.
If it were just an ordinary Starlight person making such a declaration, it would likely not evoke such a reaction; it’s evident they may not know the Starlight person’s true form, but they understand the identity of the newcomer—an existence akin to a Prince within the Starlight Civilization!
It’s not surprising if such an existence changes their Consciousness World and cultural affiliation just to occupy Human Civilization and dominate the trading market.
All present have done the same.
But he actually said he would abandon his Starlight identity and join Human Civilization? Chapters first released on novｅlfire.net
Even if only nominal, it’s shocking enough.
Don’t underestimate a name.
In the world of Primordial Energy, a name represents one’s self-perception, meaning from this moment on, this Starlight person truly regards himself as human, and even the Starlight Civilization has acknowledged this! Otherwise, he couldn’t possibly bring his forces back.
"Sincerity isn’t judged by a moment but by duration and long-term commitment." Shen Shi, like a truly disillusioned person with a numb heart, even in the face of such stunning words, still maintains calmness, even speaking peacefully, "All my efforts are solely for the strength and prosperity of Human Civilization. If you can achieve this, then even if I oppose, you will still be the supreme and sole leader of Human Civilization."
"I will let you see," the Starlight person nodded, satisfied. "By the way, you can call me Emperor Ji from now on; this is my human name. I know Ji is a noble surname in your culture."
Emperor Ji clearly did a lot of preparation work, never mentioning his original name, but instead announcing a brand new name.
However, what he didn’t know.
In his view, Shen Shi, seen as numb and powerless, only a stepping stone for his ascent to the throne, couldn’t help but feel immense joy in his heart.
If it weren’t for the powerful force from the Bronze Altar suppressing his emotions, perhaps everyone here could see his joy.
Yes, he almost laughed out loud!
Heaven dropping a pie?
Upon hearing of an A-level Civilization’s arrival, Shen Shi was determined to obtain as many powerful resources from them as possible; perhaps these distinctly different resources could truly allow humanity to break through development limits set three thousand years ago, reshape the timeline’s changes, and achieve leapfrog-like development.
