Trading Cosmic Battleship From The Start-Chapter 504 - 292: More Efficient Than Planned_2

However, a large-scale collapse does not necessarily mean complete collapse.

Complete collapse does not mean that there are no remnants left behind.

Therefore, humanity must react quickly. Otherwise, even if they manage to control the Ancestral Spirit, they will lose this hard-won opportunity.

Fortunately, Shen Shi’s response was swift enough.

At the first moment after gaining control over the Ancestral Spirit, he cut off the entire Ancestral Spirit Civilization’s communication channels and began broadcasting messages in some regions about "certain power holders igniting rebellion out of ambition" to confuse understanding. This directly led to the informed rebels having to fight alone and only being able to affect a few areas.

In addition to that, Shen Shi took a series of other actions.

Such as listing charges, and directly through the Ancestral Spirit, releasing "information" to most secondary leaders with high authority but who were unaware of the situation.

Of course, after all these measures, they could only temporarily extend the chaotic period within the Ancestral Spirit Civilization.

If no further action is taken, this chaos will eventually end.

Because even though the Ancestral Spirit People seem chaotic, they already have a common enemy; such chaos cannot last long.

However, after all, the Human Civilization had already won a crucial battle early.

So, it wasn’t that difficult.

Under the command of the highest council, Human Civilization began using the Holy Land to rapidly deploy warships. Countless already-prepared legions were directly assigned to some critical areas with great influence, then carried out rapid and bloody suppression. Even if news leaked, they could still suppress it within the larger Star System of the Ancestral Spirit, not to mention the Ancestral Spirit Civilization has been unstable lately due to the circumstances of the suzerain civilization, the Xisoke, allowing them to utilize various information to divert attention.

Even Shen Shi decisively intervened several times.

Directly and forcefully controlling some high-ranking Ancestral Spirit People, ordering them to correct their mistakes, and issuing orders different from before, undoubtedly intensified the chaotic situation.

At the same time, using the Ancestral Spirit to intensify messages, deepening the influence on the Ancestral Spirit People, continuously maintaining order in areas outside key sectors.

Causing some people who originally had doubts about the Ancestral Spirit to start believing in it again.

Additionally, large-scale migrations have already begun. The strength of the Holy Land and the power exhibited by Shen Shi have also attracted the allegiance of quite a few informed high-level Ancestral Spirit members, thereby increasing humanity’s advantage even further.

As a result of humanity’s series of actions, the internal chaos within the Ancestral Spirit Civilization did not last long.

The entire packaging process is expected to take about a hundred and fifty years.

The number of individual terminals in the Holy Land still somewhat affects efficiency.

Ultimately, most of the Ancestral Spirit People didn’t even need mental control. They could be informed that their civilization had left the Thousand Alliance and joined another more powerful Interstellar Social System.

This wasn’t particularly hard for the Ancestral Spirit People, or, for most civilizations, to accept.

They had no emotional ties to the Thousand Alliance.

Even if they did, it wasn’t worth mentioning in the face of greater interests.

Hence, the previous chaos even got a reasonable explanation—The great Ancestral Spirit decided to break away from the Thousand Alliance based on the real situation and join another system, but a few despicable high-level Ancestral Spirit members refused for their interests. They betrayed the great Ancestral Spirit, which ultimately led to the chaos during that period.

In roughly a hundred years, most of the Ancestral Spirit Civilization had been packed and taken away.

And the next step of the plan began.

"The Xisoke have already noticed the issues with the Ancestral Spirit," Shen Shi convened the highest council, "and they might have insiders who know the truth about the Ancestral Spirit’s breach. Of course, that truth is just our disguise."

"Recently, we’ve discovered Xisoke People going to the primitive life planet for investigation," an official responsible for this area reported intelligence.

"It seems our plan was very successful," Tao De said with a smile, "We hung a facade from the start, and all the strength we showed was just under this guise. I believe Xisoke’s investigation will surprise them."

"A power from an unknown region, with mysterious capabilities, able to package away the massive Ancestral Spirit Civilization in just a century, leaving not a trace of warp travel...such investigation results would unsettle even any of the three A-level civilizations in the Mude System, let alone the Xisoke Civilization," another representative commented, smiling.

Clearly, the atmosphere at this meeting was quite relaxed.

Achieving this in merely a century has been more efficient than their initial plan.

This chain plan was a sequence of steps, each ahead of the last.

They accomplished the best possible at the start, naturally boosting their confidence for subsequent steps.

However, Shen Shi had to throw some cold water over everyone’s enthusiasm.

"The Xisoke Civilization, after all, is not comparable to the Ancestral Spirit Civilization. Their hard power isn’t much weaker than our current hard power. This is still the Thousand Alliance’s territory, and if truly a rival emerges for the Thousand Alliance, even if the other powerful civilizations view Xisoke Civilization unfavorably, they might still not target them—hence, our plans for Xisoke can only be soft, not hard, which isn’t easy, so everyone can’t be too careless."

After Shen Shi spoke, the atmosphere in the meeting turned solemn.

In truth, no one was being complacent.

Their relaxed demeanor was because they had prepared for everything.

At least before new problems arise, they no longer need to do extra things, hence appearing slightly relaxed.

However, since Shen Shi mentioned this, they naturally had to prepare thrice-fold.

The next step is to wait.

That’s right, wait. 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

They had already established their persona, displayed their strength through the Ancestral Spirit Civilization, and with such posturing, the more they did, the more mistakes they might make.

Besides, the ones panicking next would not be them, but the Xisoke.

The Xisoke currently isn’t in a good situation. Having been the sole steadfast war faction among the few great super civilizations in this Star System, they have faced collective suppression from the other civilizations, reaching near their limit. At this time, such an immensely powerful mysterious force suddenly appears and effortlessly cuts off one of their key supports within a short period, pushing their civilization closer to a life-and-death edge.

The more this occurs, the more cautious they must be.

Without enough information, acting restlessly is truly the path to ruin.

If this mysterious system suddenly makes a move on them, given the significant power it demonstrated over the Ancestral Spirit, they would suffer great damage, if not demise.

Then further assaults from other civilizations within the Thousand Alliance.

Therefore, as calculated by the Human Civilization, the Xisoke began their cautious investigation.

First investigating the sudden emergence of this mysterious force, then investigating what happened within the Ancestral Spirit Civilization.

Finally, delving into the Ancestral Spirit Civilization, probing its current state and attempting to engage in preliminary contact with this mysterious force to gather more information.

It must be said that the Xisoke’s strength is quite formidable.

In the Mude System, while not as great as the three A-level civilizations, they have already surpassed the eighteen B9-level civilizations overall.

The exploration teams they dispatched were exceptionally strong too.

Even though the Human Civilization had made prior preparations, they weren’t discovered immediately.

Ultimately, it depended on Shen Shi.

Indeed, facing Xisoke’s investigation next is the crux of the plan, and Shen Shi is once again closely paying heed to the future timeline’s information.
