Chapter 309: A Calamity from This Plane
This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl
The Gaia civilization had advanced to level three many years ago.Even Yano, as the hope of the Gaia civilization, had already ascended to the 14th Rank!
With a Legendary Trait Slot, his actual combat power was even higher.
He had the ability to crush calamities beyond the 13th Rank’s strength and elevate the Gaia civilization to level four.
Unfortunately, the abyss is not a game; surpassing the threshold does not guarantee the advancement of civilization level.
The current calamity faced by the Gaia civilization from the Void Legion far exceeds its capacity for endurance.
Just like what happened with Planet Blue Star back then, they could only barely suppress the growth of the Void Rifts, stalling for time to resist the invasion of the Void Legions.
They had absolutely no way of meeting the conditions for advancement, leaving their civilization level unable to continue rising.
However, Yano had already been roaming the Purgatory levels for many years and had collected a large amount of intelligence.
Concepts such as Legendary Paths, Rebirth qualifications, and advanced knowledge…
He was aware of these.
But something like the “Civilization Wonder” touched upon his blind spot in knowledge—
The “Light of Wonders” is the ultimate product of a Peak Legendary Shadow; “Civilization Wonders” are the privilege of ancient civilizations.
Even if ancient civilizations traded miraculous resources with lower-level civilizations,
they would not reveal how these resources were obtained.
So, Yano truly had never heard of such things.
It wasn’t until Jiang Chen shared the information about the Light of Wonders with him and briefly explained it,
that Yano suddenly had an epiphany.
“An output from the most Peak Legendary Shadows?”
“A privilege of ancient civilizations?”
Yano felt a poignant realization in his heart.
No wonder ancient civilizations never shared this information…
And even if they did, what would be the point?
Could low-level civilizations really bridge such a vast chasm and clear the Legendary Shadows?
As Yano thought about this, he glanced at Jiang Chen.
“…”
He actually could!
While Yano was struck with amazement, he also gained a more direct understanding of just what level of talent Jiang Chen possessed—
This is someone comparable to the Primordial Fire and Rebirth-type civilizations’ top hopes!
If one also considers the boost from Civilization Wonders…
Planet Blue Star’s future will definitely not be inferior to the ultra-ancient civilizations like Primordial Fire and Rebirth; in fact, it might even be stronger!
Wait a second.
The Blue Star civilization will surpass the ancient civilizations.
And the Gaia civilization can obtain a 70% boost in Civilization Potential.
Does this not indicate that…
The Gaia civilization also has a chance to become an ultra-ancient civilization?
Indeed, Jiang Chen is the hope of the Gaia civilization!
Overjoyed, Yano shared all the information he had gathered on the [Alien Demon Invasion] calamity.
“The alien demon invasion that Planet Blue Star is facing is not similar to the [Infinite Purgatory] kind of [Alien Dimension Calamity].”
“Instead, it’s a [Native Dimension Calamity].”
“Those alien demons dwell in the same expanse of space as you and even occupy a vast planetary domain…”
“…What?”
Jiang Chen was surprised.
Just as the different human civilizations in the abyss come from different universes,
he also thought the alien demon invasion calamity Planet Blue Star was facing came from abyssal creatures of another dimension.
He had never imagined they were actually local monsters.
This meant that these alien demons could not only invade Planet Blue Star through spatial rifts,
but they could also cross the vast interstellar domain, bringing countless armies to directly attack the planet.
Perhaps, they were already en route!
“There’s no need to worry too much about these,”
Yano said.
“I have traveled through spatial rifts to the alien demons’ star domain and observed your universe’s starry sky.”
“According to calculations, Planet Blue Star and the star domain where the alien demons reside are more than 10 billion light-years apart.”
“Even with the alien demons’ capabilities, knowing the coordinates, it would take them at least a thousand years to cross this distance…”
“By that time, the calamity would have long since ended.”
Jiang Chen nodded.
If it took thousands of years, either Planet Blue Star would be destroyed by the alien demon invasion, or it would resolve the alien demon invasion.
Indeed, there was no need to worry about an interstellar war.
No wonder Senior Yano had never mentioned this.
However, this also proved something.
The universe where Planet Blue Star is located is not entirely safe.
Even if the alien demons are exterminated, there may still be other calamities lurking in the starry sky.
“However, while the alien demons lack the technology to traverse stellar domains, Planet Blue Star is different—”
Yano began.
“After coming to the Purgatory levels, our largest advantage as mecha pilots is the exchange of civilizations and resource swapping.”
“Later, I’ll visit the Abyss Levels Traveling Merchant for you and get an Interstellar Transmission Device.”
“This is the coordinate of the alien demonic planetary domain.”
“When you return to Planet Blue Star, you can use the Interstellar Transmission Device to quickly reach the alien demonic planetary domain and hunt down the alien demons.”
“In case of danger, it will also enable you to automatically return…”
“…An Interstellar Transmission Device?”
Jiang Chen noted the coordinates provided by Senior Yano and spoke up.
“No need to trouble yourself, senior.”
“I will take one myself in a bit.”
Yano shook his head.
“It’s no trouble.”
“I know you must have obtained a lot of resources in the Legendary Shadows.”
“But, your Planet Blue Star still needs to construct the Civilization Wonder, which uses a vast amount of resources, so it’s best to conserve as much as possible.”
“I can cover the cost for you for now.”
“…Thank you for your kind offer, senior.”
Jiang Chen hesitated for a moment,
then briefly talked about his dealings with the Rebirth Civilization and said,
“I’m not lacking resources right now, the traveling merchant has stored plenty.”
“If you need anything, senior, just ask.”
“We are all allies in the Fire Transmission; we don’t need to mind these details.”
“…”
Yano was struck silent again.
Including himself, most of the Gaia civilization’s abyss mecha pilots who came to the Purgatory levels had been “working.”
For example, they undertook challenges in the Infinite Purgatory to obtain the Deathmatch Soul.
Or they sought rare abyssal challenges to acquire rare modules.
They used these modules and materials to trade with ancient civilizations for coveted resources, slowly accumulating power…
The result.
Jiang Chen came to the Purgatory level for the first time and directly took away the entire inventory of the Traveling Merchant?
All resources maxed out?
Is this the gap between ordinary people and geniuses?
Yano was shocked, but felt it was only to be expected.
If it were him, faced with a talent of this level, he would not mind spending a bit of what was considered an insignificant amount of resources for his own civilization to recruit and invest in them.
It could be said that this was a world incredibly friendly to talents.
“Forget about resources, the Gaia civilization isn’t short on resources now, what’s lacking are people to utilize them…”
Yano sighed and stated.
“If you’re not short on resources, then that’s easy to handle.”
“When I first went to Planet Blue Star, it was a hope trial for ascending from 9th Rank to the 10th Rank.”
“At that time, I didn’t have any Legendary Traits, and my actual strength was just about at the 12th Rank level.”
“However, the strongest alien demon in that star domain was already close to the 14th Rank.”
“With my strength at the time, it was impossible to completely eradicate the alien demons and destroy them thoroughly.”
“I could only deal with one area, eliminating the first group of alien demons that invaded Planet Blue Star, and sealed and secured the space passage.”
“That was considered the completion of the hope trial mission.”
“After completing the task, I explored the alien demonic planetary domain a bit more, hunted some higher rank alien demons…”
“However, there wasn’t much time left after sealing the space passage.”
“I didn’t explore a vast area, so I’m not certain if there are stronger beings out there.”
“Besides, more than twenty years have passed, you’d better be cautious, and just take this information as a reference.”
“This is some of the star domain information I recorded back then…”
This time, Yano was quite detailed.
At the same time, he transferred a part of the alien demonic planetary domain map information to Jiang Chen.
Armed with these items.
Jiang Chen now had a much better understanding of the Alien Demon Calamity, no longer completely in the dark.
Telling Li Xiao about this afterwards would allow him to hunt alien demons more safely and successfully, obtaining the materials of wonders.
“However, according to Senior Yano’s words…”
“The Alien Demon Invasion might very well exceed the 13th Rank, reaching the strength of the 14th Rank.”
“I’ll have to be careful not to kill the boss within two months, otherwise, the construction of the wonders will fail.”
Jiang Chen sought out Senior Yano to obtain information related to the Alien Demon Invasion.
Now that the goal was achieved, he was naturally very pleased.
To express his gratitude.
He gifted Senior Yano a piece of the Legendary Path — [Extreme Battle Spirit].
After such prolonged honing and step-by-step improvements.
Jiang Chen had figured out the ascension process of the Extreme Battle Spirit.
In summary, there were a few key points.
One: The Weapons Master trait.
Two: Constantly refining and honing martial skills.
At the time, Jiang Chen mainly benefited from the guidance of a master and possessed high computational power, which allowed him to learn at an extremely rapid pace.
Most importantly, his own physical constitution was very strong, enabling continuous combat at extremely high intensity without a moment’s rest.
Other mecha pilots mostly needed to repair their mechas and didn’t have the stamina to sustain such high intensity battles.
If the conditions are not met, the time taken will increase by many times.
Jiang Chen only took twenty days, whereas someone less capable might take twenty or even two hundred years.
Three: Extremely high computational power.
Mecha pilots find it hard to possess an Asura’s natural combat instincts, so they must find other ways to forcibly cross that last threshold.
Jiang Chen achieved this through the computational power stacked from intelligent modules.
Others could acquire similar computational power through other means.
Such as [Brain Modding], [Intelligent Mecha], [Computing Power Trait].
Although it may entail sacrificing some things in exchange for the trait of Extreme Battle Spirit.
But for the majority of ordinary mecha pilots, it would definitely be worth it.
In fact, even Yano himself only possessed one Legendary Trait — and it came from the Legendary Trait Slot post-10th Rank.
Therefore, faced with the [Legendary Path] given by Jiang Chen.
He couldn’t even bring himself to say the words to refuse —
This was the privilege of an ancient civilization!
Immensely moved, he buried his gratitude deep in his heart.
After speaking with Jiang Chen for a short while longer, Yano left feeling elated.
A thought flashed in his mind.
“I’ve never used the Weapons Master trait, so it’s impossible for me to tread this legendary path anymore…”
“But Lan Yi and the others can.”
“Once I return, I will get them to use the trait and put their efforts into practicing martial arts!”
Jiang Chen took twenty days… let’s give Lan Yi two months then!”
…
Gaia civilization.
Lan Yi suddenly felt a mysterious chill in his heart.
…
After Yano left.
Jiang Chen stayed in the Divine Soul Nourishment Center, waiting for the next guest.
“The Extreme Battle Spirit was something I came to understand with the aid of the Purgatory Asura…”
“Essentially, it was Master Luo who paved the way for me, sharing this path.”
“Without him, I couldn’t have mastered this trait.”
“The same goes for Mythical Specialization, which comes from the Rebirth Civilization.”
“Without these aids, how could I ascend to legend with just an ordinary trait?”
Jiang Chen frowned slightly, without a clue.
Without any direction, blindly stumbling about, how could one possibly carve out a path to legend?
Wait a minute…
Direction?
A thought stirred in Jiang Chen’s heart.
The Legendary Trait Slot post-10th Rank, even if used with an ordinary trait, would turn into a Legendary Trait.
Isn’t it the perfect way to provide a direction for the trait’s advancement?
Even if I don’t know the conditions for achieving it.
But just knowing the names and actual effects of the [Mecha-Pilot Symbiosis] and [Mechanical Soul] after they become Legendary Traits.
At the very least, I can gain some information and stop wracking my brain in vain!
“I can later commission other civilization’s mecha pilots to help with some testing.”
As Jiang Chen was deep in thought, a line of text appeared in front of him.
[Ying Tian from the Divine Lord Civilization requests to enter the current space, do you permit?]
His thoughts instantly gathered back.
Jiang Chen showed a smile.
Struggling to find a path on one’s own after having used an ordinary trait is a measure of desperation.
How can it be compared with directly obtaining a legendary path?
“Permit.”
