131: Chapter 131 Top-Tier Worker Online

"I'm not sure."

"But I think your guess is very likely correct."

After listening to what the Light Lord said about the Outer Universe, Lin Sheng thought about it and felt that the Light Lord's speculation was highly probable.

However, Lin Sheng wasn't particularly worried about the invasion at the moment.

If the sky falls, the tall ones will hold it up. Didn't the Light Lord say that the Source of Information and the Creator were holding the line?

"What are your plans next?"

Lin Sheng thought for a moment and replied:

"To become stronger, to become the strongest existence."

"And then complete the things I want to accomplish."

Looking at Lin Sheng's firm gaze, the Light Lord flickered a few times.

"If one day you possessed the power to destroy the entire Great Universe, what would you do?"

When asking this question, the Light Lord's tone sounded somewhat nervous.

Lin Sheng didn't expect the Light Lord to ask him such a question.

He thought carefully for a while, then answered hesitantly:

"I don't know."

"Is that so? I understand."

Hearing Lin Sheng's answer, the Light Lord suddenly felt a sense of relief.

It had really been worried just now, worried that Lin Sheng would say something outrageous.

But fortunately, Lin Sheng was still relatively friendly.

At least the Light Lord felt that Lin Sheng—this existence whom Marshal Chang Xin called the greatest threat to this universe—was far friendlier than most civilizations in the universe.

...

After leaving the location of the endless energy, Lin Sheng stayed in the Light Lord's territory for a period of time.

During this time, he witnessed the diversity of civilizations in the universe here, but other than that, Lin Sheng gained almost nothing.

The energy here all came from the endless energy, and the energy Lin Sheng devoured from the endless energy could only be used to satisfy his hunger; he couldn't obtain any substantial improvement.

Therefore, after staying for a while, he planned to leave.

"I'm leaving."

Before leaving, Lin Sheng bid farewell to the Light Lord beside him.

"Can I come with you?"

Hearing the Light Lord's request, Lin Sheng froze on the spot.

He never imagined that the Light Lord, a leader of a civilization, would actually be idle enough to travel with him.

As a civilization leader, was it really that idle?

"Don't worry, I'll just be an observer and won't interfere with your normal actions."

Seeing Lin Sheng's hesitant look, the Light Lord quickly spoke up to explain.

The reason it wanted to follow Lin Sheng was partly out of curiosity about him, and partly out of concern that Lin Sheng might cause some major disturbance.

"It's not impossible for you to travel with me."

Lin Sheng thought about it; he first nodded, then shook his head.

"However, you have to hide yourself."

"I don't want the prey to be scared away by you."

The Light Lord did not hesitate; after Lin Sheng stated his requirement, its body began to shrink.

In a short time, the Light Lord shrank directly from a giant light orb into a tiny speck of light.

The speck of light landed on Lin Sheng's back, appearing completely inconspicuous.

Feeling the Light Lord on his back, Lin Sheng nodded to it.

Then, he spoke and instructed the Light Lord:

"Alright, let's go."

"First, take me out of the Light Lord Supercluster."

Hearing this, although the Light Lord felt it was a bit strange, it didn't say much.

With a thought, the space of the three-dimensional Great Universe began to reorganize, and scenes from outside the Light Lord Supercluster appeared beside Lin Sheng.

...

"By the way, Light Lord, is there a level classification for the civilizations in this Great Universe?"

"Like low-level civilizations, High-Level Civilizations, or something?"

On the way to find civilizations, Lin Sheng curiously asked the Light Lord beside him about some matters regarding this Great Universe.

Lin Sheng's luck was actually quite good; shortly after officially stepping into the universe, he encountered a civilization like the Light Lord's.

Part of the reason Lin Sheng brought the Light Lord along was also because he wanted to learn more from its mouth.

"Civilization classification, let me think."

The Light Lord pondered for a moment, then spoke in an extremely serious tone:

"Civilizations in the Great Universe are divided into two categories: 'High-Level Civilization' and 'low-level civilization'."

"Except for the 'Light Lord Civilization' that I lead, as well as the 'Creator' and the 'Source of Information', all other civilizations are low-level civilizations."

"Cough, cough."

Lin Sheng was directly choked by the Light Lord's words.

If the Light Lord's tone hadn't been so extremely serious, Lin Sheng would have suspected this was some kind of dark humor from the Light Lord.

Who classifies civilization levels like this?

This kind of ranking was probably divided by those three top-tier civilizations themselves, wasn't it?

Before Lin Sheng could voice a few complaints, the Light Lord continued to talk about the issue of civilization classification in this universe.

"In the classification of civilizations, low-level civilizations are further divided into two major categories: 'Native Civilizations' and 'Created Civilizations'."

"Native Civilizations, as the name suggests, are civilizations that were born naturally within the Great Universe."

"Created Civilizations are those created by other civilizations through non-natural intervention methods."

"High-Level Civilizations will not easily take action against Native Civilizations, and at necessary moments, High-Level Civilizations will even protect Native Civilizations."

"But Created Civilizations are different."

"Except for my civilization, the other two High-Level Civilizations don't treat Created Civilizations as civilizations at all."

Hearing this, Lin Sheng temporarily suppressed the urge to complain and then asked a crucial question.

"What if a Created Civilization develops to a certain extent and poses a threat to those weak Native Civilizations?"

"Do you directly deal with the Created Civilization, or do you just leave that powerful Created Civilization alone?"

Hearing this, the Light Lord answered without hesitation:

"This possibility is almost non-existent."

"High-Level Civilizations have the 'Creator Protocol'. The first rule of the protocol is that 'Created Civilizations must not interfere with the normal development of Native Civilizations'."

"Although various agreements cannot be written into the rules of the universe, High-Level Civilizations all have strict constraints on creation experiments."

"Either they set aside a separate area for experiments, or they go find a Small Universe to conduct them."

"But if the situation you described really happens, the 'Creator' responsible for the harm will minimize the subsequent impact of the Created Civilization as much as possible."

"It sounds like High-Level Civilizations are quite responsible."

Lin Sheng couldn't help but sigh at this point.

High-Level Civilizations were indeed generous toward low-level civilizations; the 'Creator Protocol' alone was enough for low-level civilizations to be deeply grateful to the three High-Level Civilizations.

It was just that the civilization level classification Lin Sheng wanted to know was not like this.

This ambiguous level classification made him somewhat undecided about his next actions.

After thinking for a bit, Lin Sheng asked the Light Lord again:

"Can you create a universe?"

"Create a universe?"

The Light Lord calculated for a long time this time, about over an hour. Just as Lin Sheng was getting a bit impatient, it finally spoke again:

"I can."

"However, I can only create the kind of Small Universe or sub-par universe."

"If it's a primordial Great Universe like this one, it would require a vast amount of time and the cooperation of other High-Level Civilizations."

While saying this, the Light Lord conveniently left Lin Sheng's body.

It floated in front of Lin Sheng and handed him a somewhat hazy, irregular object.

"Here, this is the universe I just created."

"It's just a prototype. The three-dimensional space inside isn't very large, only about the size of a supercluster, and it doesn't contain any energy or matter at all."

"If you're interested, you can take it to study."

Lin Sheng: ...

He took the Small Universe the Light Lord had just created and handed over, and in his heart, he already had a rough classification of the Light Lord's level.

These three High-Level Civilizations of the Great Universe were probably at the level of Level 6 civilizations.

They had already reached the level where they could freely create universes; even a Great Universe could be created given enough time.

Once these three civilizations thoroughly researched a certain "Truth," they would then step into the ranks of Level 7 civilizations.

Lin Sheng told the Light Lord about his own classification of civilization levels and some of his conjectures.

In his classification, the first three levels were the same as the classification of a certain scientist from his previous life, but it was different after Level 3.

In Lin Sheng's classification, a civilization that controls Patterns and has already touched upon rules is a Level 4 civilization.

A civilization that controls rules and begins to study concepts is classified as a Level 5 civilization.

And for those like the Light Lord, who can proficiently use concepts and have already embarked on the path of researching Truth, they can already be called Level 6 civilizations.

"Your insight is very unique and quite detailed. I think your civilization classification could be promoted to the entire Great Universe."

After hearing Lin Sheng's ideas, the Light Lord also expressed its affirmation.

...

"Can you teleport me to some galaxies where civilizations exist?"

"The civilization level doesn't need to be too high, just one that has just stepped into Level 3."

During his travels in the universe, Lin Sheng rarely encountered civilizations.

Even if he did, those civilizations were either extremely primitive with no value for devouring, or the level was too high, making it not worth the cost for Lin Sheng to fight them.

In desperation, Lin Sheng thought of a clever trick; he wanted the Light Lord to take him to find civilizations.

However, the Light Lord certainly could not agree to this unreasonable request of Lin Sheng's.

"That's impossible!"

The Light Lord flatly refused Lin Sheng's request.

Lin Sheng wasn't surprised by this.

He just gave the Light Lord a meaningful smile.

"Then I'll have to use some special methods. Don't regret it."
