Chapter 765: Chapter 322: "Little rascal." (Requesting double monthly votes at the beginning of the month)_3

"No problem."

Chen Mang shook his head and glanced at the young woman kneeling nearby: "Is your civilization form... Cultivation Civilization?"

This was the third Third-level Civilization he had encountered.

The first was the Mechanical Civilization, the second was the Kasha Civilization, and the third was this Starfire Civilization.

But this Starfire Civilization seemed completely devoid of the same sense of oppression as the other two Third-level Civilizations; to say nothing else, just in terms of territorial area, it was significantly less, which was clearly a Third-level Civilization that had come from another place. He was eager to learn more about other civilizations.

This would allow him to better understand the composition of the universe and all the civilizations within it.

"No."

The hunched old man shook his head and slowly said, "We are the Divine Civilization. Many years ago, our ancestors adopted the ’Stellar Giant Beast’ Black Tortoise, and during a catastrophic crisis that threatened our civilization, it was Black Tortoise who carried us away from that disaster."

"Since then, we have lived on the back of Black Tortoise and revered it as a deity."

"After Black Tortoise received a large amount of our Power of Faith, it evolved rapidly and gained many more powerful mutations, and through our faith in Black Tortoise, we can borrow part of its power."

"The power of the Stellar Giant Beast is truly world-shattering; even if we only borrow a small portion of Black Tortoise’s power, we can achieve incredible feats."

"Since then—"

"The Starfire Civilization has been in a state of perpetual wandering. We love peace but fear settling down, drifting throughout the universe without a permanent home."

"Divine Civilization..."

Chen Mang silently repeated these four words to himself. This was another form of civilization that he had come across. Among the many civilizations in the Kasha Civilization Federation, he had never heard of any civilization with a form like that of a Divine Civilization.

By believing, one can gain power.

It sounds quite simple.

There is no need for cultivation; the stronger the belief, the greater the power that can be harnessed.

"Where did you come from?"

Chen Mang asked. It seemed that the other party was not opposed to the idea of exchanges between civilizations, but he had a vague notion in his mind that there was a possibility they had come from the other side of the ’Cosmic Void.’"

"That is a very distant place, and it happened a long time ago."

The elder said slowly: "A long time ago, the Starfire Civilization suffered near-annihilation, and we began wandering. Our Divine Beast Black Tortoise opens a random Wormhole every now and then to escape through, and we’ve consistently roamed the universe in this way."

"We don’t exactly remember where we came from."

"Nor where we originally hailed from."

"We don’t even know where this place is."

"We assumed those who discovered us would be a Third-level Civilization here, but it was surprising to find that a Second-level Civilization discovered us instead, which speaks to some special quality of this civilization."

"But..."

"Seeing your train gave me a sense of nostalgia. A long time ago, the civilization form of the Starfire Civilization was also the Train Civilization, but gradually transitioned to the Divine Civilization following that upheaval."

"To my knowledge," Chen Mang said gently, "all forms of civilizations essentially use core energy in different ways, but it seems like the Divine Civilization doesn’t fall within this scope?"

"It does as well."

"No form of civilization operates without the use of Core Energy. The Divine Beast Black Tortoise absorbs large amounts of Core Energy scattered throughout the universe and devours mineral planets, then transforms it through faith, allowing us to directly use the power of Core Energy." 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

"What was the universal language you mentioned earlier?"

"It’s a universal language used in the cosmos. By communicating in this language, no matter what race or civilization you belong to, you can instantly and clearly understand the meaning and emotions conveyed by the other, which forms a basic part of cosmic civilizations. Translators, for that matter, cannot accurately perceive the emotions within another’s words."

"There can be a certain error in communication."

...

Thirty minutes later.

Chen Mang left Black Tortoise and once again seated himself in his Constant Star Train, watching as Black Tortoise flew into the distance. A simple little episode that allowed him to make first contact with a civilization from another region.

And at that moment, he could sincerely feel the mindset and response of the former leader of the ’Mechanical Civilization’ when they met someone from a Fifth-level Civilization.

He had come to know much about happenings beyond their world.

He had come to realize that he was like a frog at the bottom of a well.

Yet, in a short time, he could not leap out of the well and truly possess the wider world outside.

This kind of disparity brought about considerable anxiety. If he had not known all this, he wouldn’t feel so anxious or pressured.

He had gained a lot of information about cosmic civilizations from that hunched old man.

It was indeed a peaceful civilization.

Truly in love with peace.

All through, they only drank tea with him for half an hour and chatted without doing anything else. Even knowing that his civilization form was the Train Civilization, the moment the Train Captain left the train would be its most vulnerable, but they still had no intention of acting.

He naturally had his own confidence.

But knowing that the other side didn’t move without knowing his trump card was indeed rare in the universe.

In this area of the universe...

It is scientifically known as the "Low Resource Zone."

As the name suggests.

The resources in this area are very scarce, making it nearly impossible to nurture a Fourth-level Civilization. Only one method exists: by gathering all the resources of this region into one’s civilization, they may embark on long voyages. If they find a high-resource area, there will be a possibility of civilization advancement again.
