475: The Extinction Line of Cosmic Civilization

After seeing the departing convoys, he couldn't restrain himself and wished he could lead a team into battle as well.

"Exactly! With our strength and reserves, sending out three more teams wouldn't be a problem!" Duan Hu chimed in from the side.

He had completely changed from his previous honest and simple appearance; not only had his physique become tall and sturdy, but his temperament had also become increasingly steady and capable, and his cultivation Realm had even reached the Martial General level.

Zhu Huan and Duan Hu were two of the three Vice City Lords of Future City, with the other being Qian Xiaosen.

However, Qian Xiaosen had gone out as the commander of the expeditionary army, while the two of them were left in the city, which made both of them feel a sense of loss, wishing that Long Yuan could send them out to battle right now.

Long Yuan shook his head and said, "Not for now! The Northern Battlefield is the main theater of war, concentrating experts from all sides.

If our chariots go there, it will expose our strength and easily attract the attention of experts from other powerful nations, various aristocratic clans, and the Tianji Pavilion, with unpredictable consequences!"

Zhu Huan suddenly realized, "I see! But wouldn't Minister Qian and the others be exposed if they go to Yingtian Prefecture?"

"They are different. Their trip to Yingtian Prefecture and Linhai City isn't for direct combat, but to collect data and information.

They will only participate in a small way at critical moments or in inconspicuous places.

I have already coordinated this with Prince An, and he will help us arrange and hide it," Long Yuan explained.

"Are you saying that Prince An already knows about our Future City?" Zhu Huan asked.

"No! No one except our own people knows about the existence of Future City.

Prince An only knows that I will send a convoy to collect some data and information. As for where our convoy comes from and what its specific strength is, he is not clear."

"It seems we still need to continue lying low!" Zhu Huan sighed.

"Correct! Until we have the strength to surpass the Tianji Pavilion, we must lie low!" Long Yuan said fiercely.

"Tianji Pavilion!!!" Zhu Huan and Duan Hu's expressions froze, and they were speechless.

When the others heard this, their expressions also turned solemn, and they nodded one after another.

The Tianji Pavilion was the sharp sword hanging over Future City. If they tried to stick their heads out without sufficient strength, that sword could swing down at any time!

This pressure made everyone put away their previous excitement.

After the expeditionary teams departed, everyone consciously returned to the city to attend to their duties, never wasting another second of precious time.

"Become strong" were the two words deeply engraved in the hearts of everyone in Future City, and they were also the powerful driving force pushing them to move forward constantly!

Thinking of the Tianji Pavilion, Long Yuan's heart felt a bit heavy, because the Tianji Pavilion was currently the master of Blue Star, even if the vast majority of people on Blue Star didn't know it.

However, in this Star Domain, Blue Star had long been registered as a colony of the Tianji Pavilion, and other forces basically had to obtain its consent to enter, unless they snuck in like the Nether Prison.

As one of the long-established Cultivator forces in the Star Domain, the Tianji Pavilion was immensely powerful, possessing Cultivators in the Mahayana and Undergoing Tribulation Realms.

These experts could destroy a mountain, a sea area, or a piece of land with a casual strike.

They could fly, burrow into the earth, comprehend the Dao, and use their personal power to resist the powerful weapons of Advanced technological civilizations.

Some could even manipulate space and time, launching incredible attacks and defenses!

It could be said that as long as one Mahayana expert came to Blue Star, then Blue Star would have no power to resist!

"We still need to accelerate our development!" Long Yuan sighed softly.

Future City was currently walking on two legs: one leg was the path of technological civilization, and the other was the path of cultivation.

This was a necessity; after all, Blue Star currently lacked Spiritual Qi, the cultivation era had just begun, and there wasn't even a basic Legacy.

If he hadn't happened to obtain the Heavenly Dao Space, he feared this path of cultivation would be impossible to walk.

Given the conditions on Blue Star, following the path of technological civilization was the most pragmatic route at present.

Future City had indeed developed rapidly in this regard; after nearly half a year of effort by over a hundred thousand people, it had pushed the level of technological civilization to the point of approaching a Tier 1 civilization!

There were actually universal standards for the classification of technological civilizations in the Universe.

For example, a Tier 1 civilization meant being able to fully utilize the energy of its home planet, control the planet's climate, disasters, evolution, etc., and also being able to fly out of the home planet and travel freely within the solar system, moving between various planets!

Measuring Future City against these basic standards, its current level was only approaching this standard and had not yet fully reached it. And this final step might be the most important leap!

Only when a civilization reached Tier 1 or above could humanity potentially achieve interstellar flight, fully utilize the energy of stars, and travel to more distant galaxies and Star Domains.

Moreover, when a civilization reached Tier 1 or above, its survival capability would be greatly enhanced, the Lifespan of its life forms could be significantly extended, and there would be more opportunities in the future to grow into a more Advanced civilization.

From the information Long Yuan obtained from the Heavenly Dao Space, he knew that many civilizations in the Universe perished before reaching Tier 1, which meant they could not pass the hurdle of the Universe civilization kill-line!

The so-called Universe civilization kill-line referred to the fact that many civilizations, during their development, failed to cross into a Tier 1 civilization for various reasons and perished on their own.

They were not annihilated by external civilizations but were destroyed by natural disasters and man-made calamities.

They could not save themselves, their survival capability was extremely low, and the arrival of even a slightly larger disaster would put them in danger of extinction.

Some civilizations, although they survived natural disasters, ended up destroying themselves before reaching Tier 1 due to infighting, competition for resources, and the launching of dangerous nuclear wars!

Civilizations in the Universe would face many "kill-lines" during their development.

Just like the current Blue Star, whether it was the Xuanwu civilization or the technological civilization, it was still a long way from a Tier 1 civilization, but various forces had already been locked in chaotic battles for various reasons.

This time, there was even the threat of the Sea Tribe, which posed a huge danger to various civilizations.

If it could not be resolved well, it was feared that the various civilizations would fight to the end, resulting in either civilizational regression or outright extinction...

But Long Yuan knew even more clearly that even if Blue Star could survive this hurdle, a greater disaster would arrive in a few years, because the time for the Demon Realm to invade this Star Domain was not far off.

Many weak civilizations would face a huge catastrophe; their glory might only exist in imagination, and the door to a Tier 1 civilization had long been closed to them...

This was the terrifying aspect of the Universe civilization kill-line.

It would cause many weak civilizations that seemed to have a promising future to be destroyed in their infancy.

A Genius, in the end, could only be considered a true Genius if they grew up; otherwise, they could only be nutrients for other experts...
