Run Away, This Civilization Is Cheating!-Chapter 492 - 380: Fight until complete victory! _2

It turned out to be a Sub-Saint.

In the Contract Spirit Civilization, there is only one Holy Spirit, and that is the one standing before them with the Red Mythical Talent, carrying the entire civilization's prestige and power. Beyond this, those who have also stepped into the Sixth Stage are called "Sub-Saints"!

"Great Holy Spirit," this Sub-Saint addressed the Holy Spirit with utmost reverence, but the words he spoke changed the color on many faces, "I want to know if the Great Holy Spirit is not confident in defeating the Human Civilization's Emperor."

Such a challenge to the Great Holy Spirit hadn't appeared in a very long time, and there were already people wanting to shout in rebuke.

But before that could happen, the Holy Spirit had already happily said, "Based on the situation just now, yes, the strongest Chosen One of the human civilization seems to possess a deeper foundation than me. Even though his level might not match mine, I also do not have absolute confidence in victory, and indeed, there's a possibility of defeat."

This statement was even more shocking than the doubt raised earlier.

The trust and worship that the Contract Spirit Civilization had for its creatures was in no way inferior to that which Human Civilization had for Shen Hao.

This was their highest ruler who had repeatedly demonstrated a crushing posture in the Trials, leading them time after time!

To actually admit inferiority to someone else at this moment?

Noise, now uncontrollable, broke out incessantly.

"This is impossible!"

"How could the Great Holy Spirit be inferior to other Chosen Ones!"

"Great Holy Spirit, you needn't be so humble!"

"..."

Some nearly devout followers clearly couldn't accept such words coming from the mouth of the Holy Spirit.

Watching this unfold, the Holy Spirit sighed slightly in her heart.

She had anticipated this outcome long before.

What slightly comforted her was that not everyone was like this; some, though also shaken, were desperately trying to maintain their composure and silence.

Only when the mood and atmosphere at the meeting became more intense did the Holy Spirit speak again.

This time, she burst out with immense suppression, a giant figure with a shield and sword appeared behind her, majestic and imposing, like an invincible Supreme Queen!

Directly suppressing everyone present.

Including those Sub-Saints on the ground, each of them knelt down, pleading with their Great Holy Spirit to quell her anger.

"Emotion solves no problem," the Holy Spirit's voice was ice-cold at this moment, "In the past, perhaps I could dominate with absolute invincibility and advantage, but we must also clearly recognize that all Trial Civilizations are ultimately limited by that unknown being. As the Trials progress, we will inevitably encounter threats and challenges, even civilizations and warriors far more powerful than we are! We are not the strongest in the endless universe, at least not now!"

No one in the assembly said a word, but their emotions were extremely tangled.

Some feared, some stayed rational, some cried bitterly...

Starting with such great power brought this drawback.

Most in the Contract Spirit Civilization hadn't yet truly understood the terror of the Trial Civilizations!

Still dreaming of an invincible future.

When they first encountered real challenges and setbacks, it would also be their most dangerous moment.

Surviving it, they could then welcome a true rebirth!

"Continuing the previous topic," the Holy Spirit maintained the Summoned Spirit's posture, looking towards the Sub-Saint who had first spoken while kneeling on the ground, "I might not necessarily be weaker than the Human Civilization's Emperor, but at least in the aspect of cunning methods, I am a level behind. Just now, I couldn't detect the spying at all, not even the Envoy who had infiltrated."

She referred to Feng Ping as "Envoy" rather than "spy" because Feng Ping had ultimately revealed himself.

The Holy Spirit still had her own dignity, and since she hadn't detected him, she also maintained basic respect for the other party.

Some people also noticed this subtle change in terminology.

Among them was the Sub-Saint currently kneeling on the ground.

Among the many Sub-Saints in the Contracted Spirit Civilization, he was known for his wisdom and strategy, even bearing the honorable title of "Prophet."

So, after a moment of silence, the Prophet Sub-Saint slowly spoke, "Great Holy Spirit, your loyal subordinate sees two paths, one, to endure the injustices and warnings brought by fate, and two, to commit all forces to seek opportunities on the frontal battlefield, but you must not take risks. If the front line fails, we must accept the judgment of fate."

The two paths, the first, was undoubtedly to retreat, to give up on obtaining the highest rewards and gains in this Trial.

This would have repercussions in future Trials and could likely mark the beginning of the decline of the civilization.

While the second path was to fight!

But without absolute certainty, if they lost, the entire civilization would forever lose the chance to control its own fate.

To accept the Civilization Trial or to face the judgment of victors.

Faced with this choice, the entire meeting fell silent.

Everyone looked up at the Holy Spirit, who alone had the authority to make the final decision.

They might think that the Great Holy Spirit would also struggle and wrestle with the decision.

But in reality, the Holy Spirit did not hesitate for long.

She merely gazed at everyone, her voice accompanied by a sigh, conveyed like a song to everyone's ears, "We underestimated the Civilization Trial, but the Contracted Spirit Civilization will not choose a slow death. Even if it ends, it should end gloriously!"

Yes, she chose the second path.

The first, seemed merely to forgo rewards from one Trial.

But she and a significant part of the high-level leadership knew that in the Civilization Trial, this often signified the start of weakening.

More importantly, it would be a fatal blow to the spirit of the entire civilization.

Once you lose the top position a second time, they wouldn't think of fighting desperately anymore.

"Then I earnestly request the Great Holy Spirit, from today onward, to stay in the Holy Spirit Tower until we gather more intelligence," the Prophet Sub-Saint knelt deeply on the ground.

They could not let the Holy Spirit leave the Holy Spirit Tower or her Mother Planet.

After all, the Human Emperor on the opposing side was very likely to have greater power.

If the Holy Spirit were defeated, it would bring a catastrophic blow to the entire Contracted Spirit Civilization.

The Holy Spirit herself was also aware of this, so she nodded slightly.

Indeed, this decision was within the objectives of Shen Hao's recent actions.

What strategies the Contracted Spirit Civilization would adopt, or what choices they would make, Shen Hao was not sure. But the one thing he was certain of was that they would not dare to leave the Holy Spirit Tower lightly anymore, and not just leaving, but they needed to desperately strengthen the defenses of their Mother Planet.

Because regardless of the combat power of Human Civilization, Shen Hao had now established a tangible threat.

If one could infiltrate a single unit, then infiltrating an entire Legion was possible!

Plus, with Shen Hao's possibly greater power, it was enough to keep the opposing side from acting rashly.

This essentially meant binding some extremely powerful forces.

But Shen Hao's own power could still be fully utilized on the frontline battlefield.

Whether acting personally or distributing power to the Legion, nothing was off limits!

For such a civilization, either give up on recruiting them or suppress them completely!" Shen Hao also held a high-level meeting, stating directly, "In my opinion, we might as well leave the decision to them. If they give up, losing an Affiliated Civilization doesn't matter. But if they choose to fight, then we fight until complete victory!"

Yes, for Human Civilization, both scenarios were acceptable.

The first scenario, an Affiliated Civilization not entirely convinced, wasn't very useful anyway and future Trials might encounter better, more powerful Affiliated Civilizations.

The second scenario, since they want to fight, it is necessary to completely smash their current unwillingness to submit!

Only a civilization that has lost its backbone can become a truly useful Affiliated Civilization, rather than being a perpetual threat.
