Run Away, This Civilization Is Cheating!-Chapter 451 - 359: This is just a slow death_2
Chapter 451: Chapter 359: This is just a slow death_2
City after city thrived, and some didn’t even have walls, let alone many defensive installations visible.
Farmlands stretched out over vast areas, with both ordinary Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures and the previously seen flesh fields, where the nourishments were invariably processed remains of Weird Demons.
Furthermore, one could even see Cultivators flying freely through the skies, drinking and making merry.
The city streets were bustling with people, prosperous and lively.
Feng Ping and the others even saw numerous arenas set up, where many Cultivators were sparring, stopping at just the right moment, to the cheers of crowds watching intently.
“Too peaceful,” Zhuang Ying also issued the same sentiment.
...
This peace wasn’t a reference to the literal sense of calm.
It was the absence of a sense of crisis.
For example, during the development phase of Human Civilization, it was peaceful without any external enemies, but there was always a looming sense of crisis over society, the countdown to the next Trial visible everywhere, major projects related to war, and even the Cultivation in schools prioritizing strength.
The sparring between students could even have death quotas!
In contrast, the entirety of this society appeared to lack any sense of impending doom, hardly resembling a civilization on the brink of collapse, retreating at every front.
Even Feng Ping fell silent at this moment.
Such a situation naturally did not bode well for their objectives; the civilization at first glance resembled a man destitute and living a hard life, yet drowning his sorrows in drink, blissfully unaware of the starvation that tomorrow might bring.
Could it be that as allies, they had to awaken them first?
That was impossible.
“It could just be a façade, strict on the inside,” Feng Ping reassured himself in the end, “at least they are still sending millions of troops to the front lines, which wouldn’t be happening if they were always this relaxed.”
After all, at this time, it was only preliminary reconnaissance, and those observed were the broad masses.
But in the Extraordinary World, the importance of High-level entities would undoubtedly increase.
Holding on to this anticipation, Feng Ping and the others finally arrived at a place that at first glance seemed immensely powerful.
This was a mountain, an extraordinarily large one, with the dense “web” originating from this place. Even a preliminary sensing allowed them to feel the presence of numerous strong beings.
It could be said that on this mountain, there were no beings below the Fifth Stage.
“This should be the place,” Feng Ping said in a deep voice, “Prepare yourselves!”
The next moment, the entire spaceship voluntarily became visible!
It didn’t appear abruptly, but rather began to reveal itself bit by bit, undoing its own invisibility.
Starting from the deepest layer of causality, then the illusory, and gradually extricating itself from spatial cracks. In fact, when they began to emerge from the illusory layer, Feng Ping could already clearly sense the surrounding “web” suddenly enveloping them, exuding a spine-chilling aura.
Clearly, these “webs” were not just meant for surveillance of the entire world but, when necessary, could also become powerful weapons penetrating the entire world!
Feng Ping and the others were on their highest alert!
At any sign of trouble, they were ready to activate the final escape card the President had left for them and retreat immediately.
However, the next moment, the webs suddenly froze.
Feng Ping and his companions exchanged puzzled looks.
Eventually, it was Feng Ping who, deep in thought, ordered everyone to stay still.
Meanwhile, on another level, the Divine Thoughts of two powerful entities had already collided.
Indeed, Shen Hao had stepped in.
Normal-level communication wouldn’t require Shen Hao, but now it was the only Sixth Rank being of this world and even stronger than Shen Hao had anticipated; this status granted Shen Hao the right to intervene.
At this very moment, within the mountain observed by Feng Ping and his companions, a “Human” was slowly opening his eyes.
“She is called human, but in reality, she hardly looks like one.”
“Only her upper half resembles a human, with faint traces of feminine features, while her lower half is the body of a crystal spider!”
“Her entire lower half shone with a crystal-clear glow, emitting a soft and gentle light which, upon closer look, was revealed to be the entwining of countless silk threads, immobile and still. Despite its appearance, suggesting a sort of positive, unique artistry, it invoked an involuntary sense of horror in all who witnessed it.”
“It was as if something extremely terrifying and evil lurked within, wrapped in that gentle glow.”
“And at this moment, this ‘person’ with eyes wide open, was staring into a seemingly empty spot in front of her.”
“In her gaze, however, there was the presence of a figure that was both faint and unmistakable, too significant to ignore.”
“Despite being no more than a breath of residual thought, it stood tall and majestic like the Great Sun, the most powerful she had ever encountered in her life.”
“It was the consciousness of Shen Hao, trailing behind Feng Ping and others.”
“This weird demon, you didn’t kill it, did you?” Shen Hao asked, his eyes focused on her lower body.
“He had noticed from the first moment of observation.”
“This form, wrapped in silk threads, was actually the remnants of an extremely powerful weird demon, even more so than the Controller currently in this area.”
“And it had been refined into this unique Magic Treasure in a very mystical way.”
“The technique, the skill involved, was at least of the Purple Epic Level 6.”
“Not just Level 51.”
“It was slain by my master,” the other replied, her voice hollow and numb, as though it had been a very, very long time since she had communicated with anyone else. However, after a pause, her speech became smoother, visible to the naked eye, “My master refined it into a treasure tailored for me and entrusted me with the entire Great Sun Immortal Sect, which has been 7,422 years to this date.”
“She evidently explained to Shen Hao.”
“However, over 7,000 years?”
“For Mortal Civilization, it might be an extremely long duration, long enough for several dynasties to rise and fall.”
“But for an Extraordinary Civilization, especially one at this level, it was far too short.”
“The lifespan of Extraordinary Individuals is closely linked to the Extraordinary Path, Extraordinary Levels, and their inherent foundation.”
“Ordinarily, once one reaches the Fifth Stage, living for ten thousand years is no difficult feat.”
“Yet, this civilization was nearing its end.”
“You’ve been guarding too zealously,” Shen Hao bluntly pointed out the fact, “They’re too dependent on you, but you can only protect this single world after all. With no development or successors, it’s nothing but a slow death.”
“Yes, Shen Hao had already seen through her flaws.”
“This method of fusing oneself with the remains of a weird demon was indeed mystical and powerful, filled with profound understanding of the universe’s fundamental laws, and even seemed to surpass the sum of its parts, likely related to the unique interaction between these two forces.”
“But it ultimately remained a force of weird demons, tainted with Pollution.”

“Furthermore, this fusion was relatively superficial and had not reached a true unification.”
“This meant that she could not leave this small world to venture into gaps of the universe where the Night Law had even greater influence.”
“Otherwise, she could transform into a true weird demon at any moment.”
“Moreover, she had to diligently practice her Cultivation every day, accumulating power, then spend the accumulated power during the night to combat the corruption and Pollution of the Night Law on herself. Day in, day out, she could not rest for a moment, not even now!”
“This balance was too fragile.”
“But what was truly terrible was the development of the entire civilization.”
“Shen Hao had already glanced over the network she established, and she did not obstruct him.”
“Yet, he couldn’t find a single person with the potential to break through to the Sixth Stage!”
