I Can Grant Origin Powers To Anything-Chapter 725 - 577: Crisis Approaches_2

Xu Lingjun asked, "What about a Level 2 Civilization?"

"A Level 2 Civilization means having a perfect command over a planet and even its surrounding planets, utilizing and regenerating all forms of energy. Such a civilization can be called a Constant Star Civilization. In fact, to achieve a Cosmic Jump, at the very least, a Level 2 Civilization is required."

"So, you're saying that aside from those vassal races, most of the opponents we faced before were Level 2 Civilizations?"

Xu Lingjun shook his head and said, "It didn't feel very powerful. This ranking isn't rigorous. A Level 2 was defeated when we were only at Level 0. Transcending levels to face an enemy is something that always exists."

"It's just based on progression order, not on strength. Otherwise, Blue Star now might have a strength surpassing a Level 2 Civilization."

Yi Shiqi seemed to have anticipated Xu Lingjun's question. He explained, "Because the foundation of each planet is different, the level of strength is naturally different too. It's like a cub lion and a puppy are both young animals; in that sense, the rating is the same. But is the puppy a match for the young lion? The resources of Blue Star, surpassing all the planets I know, make it the most unique planet in the entire cosmos, I dare say."

He added and explained, "The development of Blue Star is extraordinarily different. You've just arrived in this cosmos, yet you've already encountered invasions from various Level 2 Civilizations. Theoretically, you should have been destroyed immediately, but not only did you survive, you even rooted yourselves firmly in this cosmos. In this sense, your progression was disrupted by those mysterious races of the heavens."

Yi Shiqi paused, then finished a cup of strong tea in one gulp.

He marveled, "Even without completing internal unification, you've already faced the challenges of the cosmos, and managed to survive firmly. Coupled with the rich resources of Blue Star, this has made humanity the most uniquely gifted race."

"Maybe it's because we come from another cosmos, which makes us fundamentally different from you."

Xu Lingjun sighed, "It took us tens of thousands, even hundreds of thousands, of years to learn to walk upright, only a few thousand years to build civilization, but merely two hundred years to develop technology... Humanity's speed of evolution is getting faster because we have an accelerated ability to evolve. We are good at learning, good at thinking. Compared to your steadily, even slowly developing civilizations, our progress is geometrically exponential."

"If I had heard this from you, Commander in Chief, five years ago, I would have rebelled and never allowed the Star Lord to attack you in the first place."

Yi Shiqi sincerely exclaimed.

Realizing he had digressed.

He sighed, "In any case, those mysterious races of the heavens eyeing Blue Star are gathering under the call of Crowley, the Master of Bingshuang. Perhaps because the Iron Wing Civilization suffered too much from Blue Star, with more than one-third of their population dead or injured, they concluded that the Iron Wing Civilization bears a grudge as deep as the sea against Blue Star, not knowing that we have long since become a clan of Blue Star."

Han Yun City coldly spoke the truth beside him, "The Iron Wing Clan has suffered so horribly that they no longer have the capability to withstand Blue Star. The reason they invited you might be to get some information from you, like the details of Blue Star, for instance."

"That's why I think this time they are determined to win!"

Yi Shiqi said, "I met Crowley once when I followed the Star Lord. He comes across as extremely cautious, and he wouldn't make a move without utmost confidence... The reason he's inviting all the mysterious races of the heavens he can contact this time is probably to ensure absolute victory. A person like him wouldn't tolerate any variable."

"How many mysterious races of the heavens in total?"

"No fewer than twenty!"

Yi Shiqi shook his head, "How many exactly, I can't determine until I've gone, but as far as I know right now, the leading Bingshuang Clan, the fairly strong Luofei Race, the Titan Clan, the Primordial Spirit Clan, the Hei Ming Race, and so on... More importantly, these civilizations are all at the root of civilization decline; although they have all already reached Level 2 Constant Star Civilization, if their leading planetary races are destroyed, their foundations would no longer exist. In this sense, they are completely different from the Silicon Based Clan."

"So you're saying they all have an absolute reason to act against Blue Star, one that involves the life and death of their civilizations."

"Yes."

"When is the meeting?"

"In a month."

Yi Shiqi seriously said, "The reason I'm here is to ask Commander in Chief if I should deliver any message to mislead them?"

Clearly...

Even though Blue Star faces formidable enemies this time, possibly ten times stronger than the Silicon Based Clan.

But so what?

Now, Yi Shiqi has more confidence in Xu Lingjun than Xu does himself.

So it's a must to attend the meeting, and perhaps he can score a great achievement for Xu Lingjun again… Before, Xu promised him the position of the leader of the Iron Wing Clan, and now he's seated in that position.

Even the radicals and the rebels have been purged clean by him due to the circumstances.

He holds his throne very steadily indeed...

Why follow others and end up as the subordinate race of other civilizations, being oppressed by them?

Yes, repeating old tactics, he's managed to arrange things for everyone clearly as well.

Xu Lingjun fell into silence.

He shook his head and said, "It's not appropriate. In fact, it's not just those tens of mysterious races of the heavens that are coveting Blue Star, right? Even if we repel these tens, a hundred or even thousands more might come afterward... It's endless generations after generations."

"So you want to solve it once and for all? Just like before when we annihilated the Silicon Based and Flame Race by striking fiercely?"

Han Yun City seriously asked.

"It's a viable approach, but I think there must be other ways."

Xu Lingjun seriously contemplated.

The scene fell silent...

Han Yun City didn't disturb Xu Lingjun, and Yi Shiqi, looking at Xu Lingjun with eyes full of respect, like observing a celestial person, someone towering like a mountain.

Tens of races... Each one surpassing Blue Star in the cosmic hierarchy, yet you've reduced them to mere tens in your words. Facing enemies tens of times stronger, you've remained so calm, even starting to consider how to kill a chicken to warn the monkeys for maximum gain.

Only because Yi Shiqi had personally witnessed Xu Lingjun's might, otherwise, he might have thought Xu was just bragging.

Now he is full of zeal, even starting to look forward to...

What methods Commander in Chief Xu will use against them this time?

Really gets one excited just thinking about it.

Yi Shiqi hadn't realized that without knowing it, he had become Xu Lingjun's most devoted little fanboy.

After pondering for a long while, Xu Lingjun asked, "Yi Shiqi."

Yi Shiqi loudly responded, "Yes, Commander in Chief, what are your orders?" 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

Xu Lingjun asked, "You just repeated several times that they are different from the Silicon Based Clan. Specifically, what are the differences between them and the Silicon Based Clan?"

Yi Shiqi thought for a moment and answered, "The Silicon Race wants to seize Blue Star itself, maybe even including enslaving humanity. They care about Blue Star's survival, as evidenced by them not using large-scale destructive weapons after invading—a Level 2 Civilization would have no shortage of such weapons in numbers."

"But, in fact, the only time large-scale weapons were used in this war was the nuclear bomb salvo that destroyed nearly a third of Blue Star's land, and that was launched by humans themselves. Even those from the Baoxue Empire, strictly speaking, died at the hands of humans!"

Yi Shiqi said, "So the Silicon Based Clan really cares about Blue Star's ecology. But those mysterious races of the heavens are different; they never wanted Blue Star. Therefore, they don't care about Blue Star's life or death, and wouldn't hesitate to use large-scale destructive weapons. In this regard, they are much more terrifying than the Silicon Based Clan."

"I see, I understand now."

Xu Lingjun nodded, his face showing a look of contemplating deeply.

Murmuring, "If that's the case, this attack, for Blue Star, really is a crucial, a life-and-death crisis!"
