Run Away, This Civilization Is Cheating!-Chapter 453 - 360: Other Trial Civilizations!_2
Chapter 453: Chapter 360: Other Trial Civilizations!_2
So, were they unwilling to come over to rescue this “Branch” that wasn’t particularly weak, or were they truly powerless?
Shen Hao took another look at the few Chosen Ones who had stayed here and realized why, despite having already arrived, they seemed to make no further moves.
They were likely observing as well.
“If that’s the case, then suit yourselves,” Shen Hao ultimately said nothing more, just gave them a deep look, “The deal I proposed remains valid.”
As his voice faded, his consciousness slowly withdrew.
Leaving only a message for Feng Ping, telling him to also head back and arrange for a proper team to come and secure the area, staying informed at all times.
...
After all, Feng Ping’s ability lay in reconnaissance, not diplomacy.
Impersonating a diplomat at the beginning was not an issue, as he would soon leave, but now that stable contact had been established, it was more appropriate to send professionals.
However, this time the scouting objective for this world was not accomplished.
Originally, the plan had been to make contact with this powerful indigenous civilization to jointly face the Weird Demons, utilizing their strength to gain massive points while also obtaining related inheritances from this world, as well as the Sixth Stage Extraordinary Resources which Human Civilization was currently lacking.
For now, it seemed not possible.
Yet, there were other gains.
Learning of the existence of even more powerful native civilizations, and the chance for initial contacts with other Trial Civilizations!
Besides, there wasn’t an absence of opportunity.
“Immediately assemble a diplomatic mission,” Shen Hao ordered upon his return, “and have the Strategic Command Center analyze the strategic plans within this region!”
This was a juicy piece of meat, one that many were vying for.
At the very least, they needed to take a big bite.
With this command, Human Civilization promptly swung into action. On one hand, the Strategic Command Center needed to maximize their advantage, not referring to military strength, but to the precise coordinates of the Weird Demons provided by Shen Hao.
Do not underestimate the value of such coordinate intelligence, in the complex topography of a Bubble-shaped Universe, the role of coordinate locations was huge.
They could use their intelligence advantage for precise and efficient guerilla warfare, achieving battle outcomes that could compare to forces several times their size!
At the same time, the diplomatic mission team quickly took shape.
The leader was a man named Lian Yunbin.
He was considered a rising star.
He hadn’t shown a noteworthy performance in the last Trial, but in the rest period of over twenty years, he’d been sent on missions to Affiliated Civilizations frequently, playing an important role in the integration and formation of order within the entire Civilization System, thus achieving remarkable political feats.
Most importantly, his personal power was strong.
With his outstanding negotiating ability combined with formidable personal strength, he too possessed the Golden Legendary Talent and had recently reached Level 47.
Under such circumstances, deploying him was undoubtedly the more suitable choice.
Even General Yang Jun was sent along as a safety Guardian.
Human Civilization currently was still weaker overall compared to other civilizations, but there was no difference in terms of crossing strata.
At least, the few Chosen Ones that Shen Hao observed were at most Level 48.
By comparison, General Yang had also reached Level 48, not at all inferior.
Compared to the Mission to Great Sun Immortal Sect, it was even more crucial to obtain intelligence on other Trial Civilizations.
“General Yang, I hope you can show more strength and confidence,” Lian Yunbin said to the mission team on their way, “We do not understand the strength of the other side, but they also do not understand ours. I know, in our hearts, it’s our Potential that is strong, our actual strength always seems weaker at the start, but we cannot let the other side perceive this. So, even if it means self-hypnosis, you must appear strong, from the inside out!”
“Rest assured,” General Yang chuckled, “With the presence of our President, there aren’t many civilizations that can compete with our confidence.”
With this consensus, they reached the Great Sun Immortal Sect.
The arrival this time was open and aboveboard.
Sure enough, there was no scrutiny. Apparently, that being whose name was still unknown had already sent some messages on her behalf, although it wasn’t clear exactly how she had put it. Nevertheless, when the people from the Great Sun Immortal Sect approached them, there was a distinct air of arrogance in their demeanor.
“You are to stay put on this mountain peak. Remember, do not leave on your own accord or wander about aimlessly. This is the Holy Land of our Great Sun Immortal Sect. To allow you to pay homage here is a Blessing from our Supreme Sect Master. If you want to remain here, you must abide by the Sect’s rules. Understood?”
After a simple sentence, the person turned and left.
It was clear that they were unwilling to utter another word.
Judging from their hasty departure, one might assume there was some urgent matter.
In reality, it was likely they had made plans to enjoy themselves with someone.
This is the usual behavior of high-level personnel; once you reach a level that’s hardly attainable, what’s left is simply to enjoy oneself.
“The other Chosen Ones from the Trial Civilizations are also here,” Lian Yunbin whispered, looking toward two locations not far away.
This mountaintop was actually very vast and majestic. Although it wasn’t as large as the biggest peak, it was still far beyond any mountaintop you would find on a common planet, with an altitude of at least several hundred thousand meters.
However, for strong individuals like them, it was all too small.
It was so small that they could discern the presence of a few others before they even got close.
The number of people wasn’t high, but they were powerful. There were two groups in total, and it seemed that Human Civilization had arrived late.
This area was actually a meeting point for three different affiliated civilizations from the Trial Civilizations!
“Let’s go. As latecomers, we should go and greet them,” Lian Yunbin said, heading towards a certain direction.
In fact, just after the native warrior had left, these individuals had made no attempt to disguise their presence, showcasing the strength of their levels.
The person Lian Yunbin was now seeking was the most powerful among them.
There were only four individuals in this group, all bearing a resemblance to the natives in appearance, but it was clear that they were concealing their true forms to some extent, likely belonging to a “humanoid” species.
At this moment, the leader was already waiting to greet them from not too far away.

“Welcome, everyone.”
At present, this person looked rather handsome by Human Civilization’s standards of beauty. The smile on his lips even had a hint of mischief, but it didn’t put anyone off. On the contrary, it added a measure of charm.
The moment he spoke, his demeanor was exceptionally warm.
“We are all from Trial Civilizations, so there’s no need to be overly formal. Even though there is competition, we should primarily focus on cooperating against the Trial. Our interactions can certainly be more cordial.”
“That’s correct,” Lian Yunbin said with a smile, “Fighting the Trial is our primary concern. We have always loved peace. May I know the name of your civilization?”
“We shouldn’t reveal that unless we exchange names,” said the handsome man with a smile. “But I can give you my own name. You can call me Hemu.”
“Lian Yunbin,” Lian Yunbin likewise shared his own name.
The reason for the need to keep the names of civilizations somewhat confidential had mainly to do with the rules for civilization ranking.
All civilization rankings are written in the primary script of the civilization itself.
Without knowing the pronunciation, even mystical means could at most interpret the meaning of these civilizations but not know their true pronunciation.
However, once the pronunciation is heard, it becomes different.
You can immediately identify which civilization it corresponds to on the civilization rankings.
However, maintaining this as a secret is quite challenging, because inevitably, with enough interaction, there’s always a chance to learn it.
And once a civilization’s ranking is known, many things can be inferred by observing the changes in their performance values.
This is probably why the two teams, despite being on the same mountaintop, kept a significant distance between each other.
