Trading Cosmic Battleship From The Start-Chapter 525 - 303: Earning the Middleman’s Profit

Shen Shi also knew clearly that this display of power was a step taken in the right direction.

But just this isn’t enough to conclude matters.

Right now, the actual Mother Star region of the Lilianya Civilization is controlled by several other civilizations. Facing the risk of the Mother Star possibly being destroyed, no matter how much their hearts lean towards Shen Shi, in reality, it’s hard to do anything out of line.

This is why in the original history, the incarnation of Shen Shi didn’t manage to successfully ally with the Lilianya Civilization at this time.

But Shen Shi was already prepared.

Though the power of his Fantasy Legion can now manifest a fantastical entity from his Consciousness World into reality, equipped with all manner of incredible powers, there is a limit, and it’s not truly a case of wish fulfillment.

Understanding oneself is the primary condition.

This is why what Shen Shi manifests are all mythical legends from human culture.

It’s likely that those cosmic battleships with all sorts of incredible powers that the Pasture Master commands are also cultural fantasy images deeply embedded in his entire race’s memory.

So, here’s the question.

What is one of the most notable characteristics of the Great Sage Equal to Heaven, Sun Wukong?

Seventy-Two Transformations, Somersault Cloud, these all are.

But what Shen Shi manifests at this moment is a power most suited to the current situation!

——Countless clones.

Shen Shi didn’t even give others time to think. In everyone’s sight, that colossal Great Sage Equal to Heaven plucked a hair from his head, performed a "blow" action, and in an instant, countless clones, each the size of a regular person, appeared all around, whether on the Mother Star of the Lilianya Civilization, in the surrounding space, or even inside the cosmic battleships. These monkey clones, essentially manifestations of Primordial Energy, targeted everything non-Lilianya on site—Shen Shi had long locked onto these conspicuous intelligent beings with his immense Primordial Energy!

"The strength of an individual may indeed seem small and useless in the vast system of war, but as powerful as I am, it is still easy to dominate a battlefield." Shen Shi’s consciousness transmitted into everyone’s mind at that moment, "Therefore, it is right that you pay the price for your ignorance and foolishness."

There was no trace of heat-bloodedness or fervor in his consciousness, nor any battle intent. Compared to the fighting spirit of the Great Sage Equal to Heaven, there was more of a detached coldness.

However, combined with the power he displayed at this moment, matched with the howls of countless outsiders.

This scene still stirred the enthusiasm of countless Lilianya people.

Even the Emperor of the Lilianya people opened his arms, terrifying Primordial Energy furiously sweeping the two strong persons from other civilizations beside him, a sensation of intense cathartic release that their culture pursued for its strength.

And as for Shen Shi?

After completing what he wanted to do, he directly submerged his consciousness into the Time Crystal and Holy Land, glimpsing the future.

No problem.

The allegiance of Lilianya was brought forward by two thousand years, and the plight facing the Xisoke Civilization was also resolved.

Thus, Shen Shi didn’t say anything unnecessary.

He simply let Iwen return.

As if his arrival this time was purely to resolve the trouble for the Lilianya Civilization.

But just like when he came, when leaving, the path was paved by countless Lilianya people into a straight "Path of the Strong," through which any civilization could feel a profound respect.

Subduing the Lilianya Civilization felt even simpler to Shen Shi than subjugating the Xisoke Civilization.

This seemed to provide him with an idea.

——Start from culture.

To be honest, after an entire civilization has crossed the threshold of Master of Primordial Energy, the importance of culture seems to have diminished since it no longer plays a decisive role in the civilization’s future and present. But clearly, as the key connecting a civilization entirely, its presence itself is a substantial interest, only often overlooked in past interactions and negotiations.

Only a civilization like Lilianya, where the cultural significance is particularly evident, can highlight cultural interests.

So, can this be used to accelerate the development of the Human Interstellar Empire?

Of course it can. 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

"We don’t need to maintain a high degree of cultural consistency," Shen Shi murmured to himself.

Whether it’s the Mude System or the Thousand Alliance System, their cultural attitude towards weaker civilizations is one of expulsion, devouring, merging, because it’s the only way to ensure rapid strengthening.

At the beginning of the Human Civilization on the second future line, they were faced with cultural threats, and the Mude System’s upper echelons established a very obvious "Mude Culture."

The Thousand Alliance is likewise.

In fact, by now, Shen Shi has almost understood what the pastoring of the Mude System was for.

Just like the Primordial Energy Spore Technology in the Thousand Alliance, it bears huge flaws, the power of the Fantasy Legion controlled by the Pasture Master also poses a great threat. These technologies from the Relic Civilization weren’t originally prepared for "Primordial Energy." Only Shen Shi’s power, which surpasses Primordial Energy, can perfectly and correctly utilize these two technologies.
