212: Chapter 212 Trials, Changes, Benefits, History, Civilization, Ritual Objects

At this moment, the Incarnation recalled the conditions for initiating the profession trial that he had previously viewed in "galaxy general knowledge".

The "Primitive Planet Profession Trial Management Measures" dictates that a primitive planet will only enter the profession trial stage after it has been clearly assessed that its intelligent civilization possesses the basic capability to withstand disasters and large-scale fierce beast attacks triggered by the trials.

It even branched off a Trial Officer system from the Primitive Civilization Inspector system, specifically to be responsible for the trial system. This means that even if it is detected that the civilization possesses the conditions to trigger the transition to a transcendent society, it will no longer be initiated by an Inspector, but will instead shift to the next stage.

The Incarnation sighed with emotion; their generation of human civilization had caught up at a good time.

In an era where nuclear weapons exist, and even modern society is relatively stable across various countries, this trial was finally launched, with nuclear weapons serving as a final fallback.

"It seems that if the previous trial system were still in place, our Blue Star Human Race would have initiated the profession trial as early as the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods, or even earlier, when alchemists and Qi Refiners who touched upon the laws and Heaven and Earth Qi first appeared. Given the conditions and productivity of that time, it would have indeed been difficult to cope."

Gaoyang Zhenkong had not really understood the primitive systems regarding touching upon the transcendent in the various countries of the Black Iron Human Race before, so he asked with some surprise.

"Listening to Fellow Daoist Tianhe, these alchemists and Qi Refiners should be of the same lineage as your Heavenly Talisman Dao Foundation system, right?"

"It is just unclear why you did not continue to develop these systems, but instead moved toward a technological society."

Regarding this confusion, the Incarnation had his own speculations and understanding.

"It is likely that the number of ancient cultivators who truly touched upon the laws and Heaven and Earth Qi was too small, and this set of systems had requirements for talent and comprehension that were too high."

"Even though I myself took on these professions through the Profession Stone, it was only by leveraging the theoretical knowledge developed over thousands of years that I was able to step onto the path of transcendence."

"Not to mention that the productivity of ancient society was not high, and social upheavals were frequent, making it extremely easy to be affected by war. It was difficult to organize large-scale cultivation research forces based on this. It could only be passed down through a small number of sects, continuing these theories generation after generation."

"In the last few hundred years, material goods have gradually become abundant, and there are many temptations, so those who can conduct in-depth research on this are few and far between, which has created the current environment."

"I also only embarked on this path after being inspired by a large number of literary works."

"Otherwise, the entire transcendent system of human civilization might have leaned towards the cultivation of physical martial arts systems developed in the modern era, with other systems likely falling further behind."

The changes described by the Incarnation also made the group of intermediate-level existences feel a sense of novelty.

After all, listening to the actual founder narrate it felt more real and understandable than reading about the historical social changes of intelligent life on other primitive life planets in history, especially since they also belonged to the human civilization.

The subsequent bronze paintings were stories about moving towards the interstellar world of the transcendent society.

From the first primary-level Transcendent Life, the [Underworld Principle Presider], to the birth of the first Underworld Artifact.

And then to the intermediate-level [Law-Defining Priest] and sacrificial artifacts, the entire path from primary level to intermediate level took the Bronze Human Race a total of ten thousand years without the guidance of a founder.

During this period, they also faced many difficulties. There were missionary invasions from other high-level civilizations, civilization wars initiated by civilizations of the same level, and even incidents such as invasions by strange exotic beasts. Of course, in this process, there was no lack of help from the Gold and Silver Races, and later, with the stable appearance of intermediate-level existences passed down from generation to generation, they became an intermediate-level civilization and welcomed greater development.

Primary-level Transcendent Life gradually increased, and five systematic and complete branches—Suppression, Illusion, War, Spirit, and Soul—gradually evolved. Afterward, it took nearly 200,000 years for the Bronze Human Race to begin to stably produce a large number of intermediate-level 3 experts.

The group walked around the entire bronze hall, observing these carvings.

They came to a drawing that was highlighted in detail.

On a bronze plaza, five intermediate-level 3 experts with laws related to Suppression, Illusion, War, Spirit, and Soul gathered together to discuss and decide on the basic development route for the Bronze Human Race with other primary and intermediate-level existences.

In the million years that followed, they collected countless treasures of heaven and earth, continuously refining and sacrificing to create a high-level artifact, thereby establishing the qualification of the Bronze Human Race to become a high-level civilization.

Of course, this process could not have been smooth sailing, especially since the Beast Alliance civilization, which had a deep blood feud with them, requested the Galactic Extraordinary Council to launch a civilization war.

They dispatched 7 intermediate-level 3 experts to attack the area where the Bronze Human Race was located during their intermediate period; however, for them, who were adept at crafting artifacts and bronze architecture, defense was a huge advantage.

And the so-called civilization war is when two civilizations, after having irreconcilable contradictions, apply to the Council to conduct a frontal battle to achieve the goal of destroying the other side.

Of course, this application cannot be achieved easily, otherwise high-level civilization races could casually annihilate those weak civilization races. Both sides must be civilizations of the same level, have clear and irreconcilable contradictions, and cannot introduce forces exceeding the level of that civilization race, among other complex conditions, before it can be approved and carried out under the supervision of high-level lords.

"... Actually, if it weren't for that Beast Alliance civilization attacking us, it would not have unprecedentedly united the hearts of the Bronze Human Race. It caused the [taiyi yutian green spirit cauldron], which we had been refining, to gather the will, luck, and belief of our entire Bronze Human Race. Looking at it now, the possibility of success would not have been very high."

Although the Beast Alliance civilization attacking them played a certain catalytic role, all the Bronze Human Race present did not feel that the key to this matter lay in the war.

Instead, they felt that as members of the Bronze Human Race, resisting their attack and refining the [Civilization Ritual Artifact] was a source of pride.

Afterward, the [taiyi yutian green spirit cauldron] came into the world, and together with the lords who came from the Gold and Silver Races, they resisted the high-level existences of the Beast Alliance that attempted to interfere.

And this high-level artifact was worthy of being a [Civilization Ritual Artifact]; as soon as it appeared, it brought its own internal small world, and after taking in and protecting all the Bronze Human Race, it completely left the high-level existences on the opposite side helpless.

Later, the Transcendent Council came to mediate, completely establishing the status of the Bronze Human Race as a high-level civilization, and afterwards, they migrated into this Bronze Star Region.

After the Incarnation finished reading these, he could be considered to have a real feeling in his heart about what crises an entire civilization has to go through.

He immediately expressed his gratitude to the Bronze Human Race present.

"Thank you, seniors. Judging from what the Bronze Human Race has experienced, the Beast Alliance probably would not want to see another human civilization race become a high-level civilization again. I think my Blue Star Human Race should make plans early."

Gaoyang Zhenkong smiled at this and comforted him in a relaxed tone.
