133: Chapter 133 A World in Danger 2
“Ordinary Void Realms and our Tianlan Star can both be considered Third-Grade Border Phantom Realms. At this Rank, Tianlan Star can at most resist Void Realm assimilation for three hundred years.
To gain more time, we must continuously Plunder void realm cores and feed them to our world. Each void realm core consumed can extend the time significantly.
Once one hundred Third-Grade Border Phantom Realm cores are consumed, the world will undergo a Breakthrough to a Second-Rank Edge Void Realm, capable of resisting Void Realm assimilation for one to two thousand years.
Continuing to consume three hundred cores will lead to another Breakthrough, becoming a First-Grade Edge Void Realm, capable of resisting Void Realm assimilation for over five thousand years.
Until over a thousand cores are consumed, the world will ascend from the Fringe Void Realm Rank to a Third-Grade Near-layer Void Realm, able to resist assimilation for over one hundred thousand years…”
Under the selfless narration of Li Changtian, her grandfather, Li Xuefei gradually understood the current environment Tianlan Star was in.
Currently, Tianlan Star is doing quite well, with seventeen Epic War Gods, almost catching up to some centuries-old worlds. The strongest among them, the Ice God, has only reached Epic Rank Two.
Besides the Ice God, the Human Alliance only has three or four War Gods who have reached Epic Rank Two; all the others are Epic Rank One.
It is only with the addition of nuclear weapons developed through technology that the Human Alliance can actively Plunder the cores of other Void Realms.
During the process of searching for other cities, the Human Alliance has already captured over twenty of the lowest Rank Void Realms, and over a dozen Void Realm Instances are the best proof of this.
This is not particularly good news, because these Void Realms captured by the Human Alliance were all the weakest ones, carefully selected by them.
The strongest monsters within them were only Epic Rank One, Two, or Three. The Human Alliance's strongest nuclear weapons could still cause significant damage to these monsters.
Relying on nuclear weapons, the Human Alliance managed to capture over twenty Void Realms and control their most important cores in a short period.
This is not good news; with the aid of nuclear weapons, which are not produced in high quantities, the Human Alliance only managed to take down the weakest twenty-plus Void Realms.
Other more powerful Third-Grade Border Phantom Realms each contain over twenty powerful Epic Rank Monsters, so strong that they can resist nuclear weapons, leaving the Human Alliance with no way to proceed.
There are quite a few Void Realms with powerful monsters. Among the hundreds of Void Realms currently known to the Human Alliance, most of them have monsters of Epic Rank Three or higher.
There are also many with super terrifying monsters of Epic Rank Ten.
When the one-hundred-year Fusion period is complete, the Human Alliance will be threatened by these monsters. Any one of them targeting Tianlan Star would bring a huge disaster.
This dangerous world caused even Li Changtian, a man who had weathered many storms, to feel a great deal of worry.
And this is only the threat from monsters; other world races have not even been factored in yet.
“So the Human Alliance is also facing such a great threat…”
After hearing her grandfather’s words, Li Xuefei could only slowly utter half a sentence, unsure of what else to say.
The information she had just heard was clearly known only to a select few. The vast majority of people in the Human Alliance believed the Alliance was immensely powerful and could easily crush other Void Realms.
Beneath this prosperity lay a crisis they had never known.
“That’s right, there are only fifty years left. You youngsters must grow up quickly. Perhaps by then, you can even team up with me, your grandfather.”
Li Changtian’s thick hand patted his granddaughter’s head. He highly valued this granddaughter who possessed a True Spirit Talent of the same attribute and Rank as himself.
“Hehe, by then, Grandpa, you might have already become an Epic War God…”
“Breaking through to Epic War God is not that easy…”
“…”
The grandfather and granddaughter chatted about various things. The next day, Fang Yuan and the other two were brought by Li Xuefei to meet her grandfather.
Before this, Li Xuefei had already told them about yesterday’s events.
They all knew about the Human Alliance’s war situation, and Fang Yuan also knew that Li Changtian was aware of his True Spirit Talent.
Being summoned by Li Changtian for the first time, the pressure in Fang Yuan and the others’ hearts surged. On their way to the top floor of the hotel, their heartbeats quickened.
“Hello, Mayor Li…”
Soon, they reached the top floor of the Alliance hotel. Approaching Li Changtian, they greeted him with nervous feelings.
Li Xuefei, the only one not nervous beside them, watched her three teammates being so reserved, especially Fang Yuan, whose entire face was tensed. This made her feel quite pleased.
It seemed this guy wasn't immune to nervousness after all. He was usually so calm that she, as the captain, didn't even feel like a captain.
“…You little fellow are truly cautious, but you did well. Personal Talent is especially important, and hiding your Talent is also a means of concealing your strength.”
As soon as they met, Li Changtian praised Fang Yuan extensively.
Not only did he not inquire about his Talent, but he also highly approved of Fang Yuan’s approach to hiding his Talent.
Hiding one's Talent, for ordinary Black Iron, Bronze, or Silver Rank True Spirit Talent holders, was a complete waste of effort, with strength nowhere to be used.
Such ordinary Talents had no need to be hidden. The first two Ranks need not be elaborated upon; low-Rank Talents not only have few ability branches but are also not too strong.
While Silver Rank Talent is much more powerful, there is one for every few hundred or thousand people. The entire Human Alliance has nearly one hundred thousand Silver Rank Talent holders.
With such a vast number, almost everyone’s Talent abilities overlap with many others, so there is no need to hide such Talents.
The final Gold Rank Talent, however, does have a need to be hidden. Their numbers are small, and each Talent basically possesses unique characteristics.
Even for the same type of True Spirit Talent, the ability branches within it can vary greatly, ensuring that every Gold Rank Talent Prodigy has their own unique ultimate move.
“Here is one hundred billion energy points…”
Li Changtian chatted with them briefly, then with a wave of his hand, he gave Fang Yuan and each of them a large sum of money…
