Noah glanced at the light screen in front of him.

Race Potential: Excellent.

"It seems the multiple nationwide rewards weren’t for nothing," Noah nodded slightly.

This level of Race Potential is based on the probability of having advanced talents. Although he possessed an EX-grade talent, it wasn’t enough to forcefully raise the potential by an entire level.

Originally, the Blue Star Civilization’s Race Potential was at most Ordinary, which could be seen from the limited number of Awakeners with advanced talents worldwide.

Now, it had become Excellent, which was clearly the result of the nationwide rewards.

He believed that once the young people of Blue Star, especially those in Starfall Country, reached the age of 16, a large number of Awakeners with advanced talents would emerge.

Civilization Index: 10086.

Noah wasn’t surprised.

His strength was overwhelming; he could easily kill Fourth-Order monsters. It was estimated that he alone accounted for nearly ten thousand of the Civilization Index, while the rest of the people of Blue Star, along with the military forces of various countries, contributed only a few hundred at most.

"It’s only ranked over seventy million."

Noah’s gaze fell on the Civilization Pillar as he began to communicate with it.

He could view any civilization on the list at will.

Of course, he could only see the ranking list of First-Level Civilizations.

The first place was the Star Sea Civilization.

[Star Sea Civilization]

[Civilization Level: First-Level Civilization]

[Civilization Index: 309,775,412]

[Race Potential: Legendary]

[Highest Awakener Rank: Fifth-Order Expert]

[Ranking: 1]

"Holy crap."

Seeing the data for the Star Sea Civilization ranked first, Noah couldn’t help but blurt out a curse.

The highest Awakener rank being a Fifth-Order Expert was understandable. First-Level Civilizations unlocked Third-Order and Fourth-Order dungeons, allowing Awakeners to reach the level of a Fifth-Order Expert.

But their Race Potential was actually Legendary, and their Civilization Index was an astonishing three hundred million.

This was simply too exaggerated.

It indicated that within the Star Sea Civilization, there were quite a few Five-Order expert Awakeners, and their combat power was extremely strong. They likely received many special rewards to have such a terrifying Civilization Index.

Compared to the Star Sea Civilization, the Blue Star Civilization was instantly reduced to dust.

Looking further down, the top ten civilizations were all Legendary races, and their Civilization Indices were all over a hundred million.

The top hundred were also all Legendary races.

Only after the thousandth rank did Excellent races appear.

Noah sighed; he was truly impressed.

The Blue Star Civilization had only just begun, so it couldn’t compare to others that had developed for a long time. His individual strength naturally couldn’t rival the power of an entire civilization.

A ranking of over seventy million was indeed reasonable.

[Congratulations to the Blue Star Civilization for ranking between ten million and one hundred million among the First-Level Civilizations on the Civilization Pillar. You have received the following rewards: Blue Star’s global lifespan increased by 100 years, cultivation aptitude slightly enhanced, and 10 large planetary teleportation arrays.]

A system prompt sounded in Noah’s ear.

The ranking rewards on the Civilization Pillar were divided into different tiers, and ten million to one hundred million was one tier, the lowest tier.

Excluding the participation award.

The participation award granted a nationwide lifespan increase of 10 years, which was essentially a consolation prize.

In contrast, the rewards included 100 years of lifespan, improved cultivation aptitude, and 10 large planetary teleportation arrays.

Noah revealed a satisfied expression.

As Awakeners increased their rank, their lifespan also increased. Noah didn’t care how long a Third-Order Awakener could live, because the Awakened World constantly faced attacks from the Disaster. Most Awakeners died in battle, not of old age.

These 100 extra years of lifespan were naturally useless to Noah, but for many Awakeners on Blue Star, they could allow them to return to their peak condition.

It should be noted that Awakeners could also grow stronger through cultivation. Techniques that required self-cultivation played a crucial role.

Some individuals actually possessed excellent cultivation aptitude, but because they were too old and their physical condition had severely declined, their efforts yielded only half the results with twice the effort. Now that their bodies had returned to their peak condition, combined with the increase in cultivation aptitude, the speed at which the people of Blue Star could grow stronger would accelerate once again.

As for the large teleportation arrays, their significance lay in connecting the various regions of the planet into a single network, making distant places feel like neighbors.

This would have a tremendous impact on Starfall Country’s unification of Blue Star.

Noah came back to his senses, took a few steps back, and yielded his spot to the Awakeners behind him.

Just as he was about to leave, he noticed that the surrounding Awakeners were eagerly crowding around him.

"Hello, I am the Child of Civilization of the Cloud River Civilization. Are you interested in forming an alliance?"

"Friend, our Golden Turtle Civilization is willing to pay a price in exchange for the assistance of the Blue Star Civilization."

"We..."

This was a powerful civilization that had just become a First-Level Civilization and immediately entered the rankings. For the civilizations present, it was undoubtedly a force worth clinging to.

If not now, then when?

Noah frowned slightly.

He wasn’t interested in forming so many alliances, and since the Blue Star Civilization was new here, it wasn’t suitable to make hasty decisions.

"Heh heh, so impulsive. Aren’t you afraid they might be a Breeder Civilization?" At that moment, a discordant voice suddenly rang out.

As soon as the words "Breeder Civilization" were spoken, it was like a bucket of cold water had been poured over the crowd. The Awakeners near Noah quickly retreated, looking at him with suspicion and uncertainty.

Indeed, the Blue Star Civilization’s Civilization Index was somewhat unusual, even excessively high.

If it were a Breeder Civilization, it would make sense.

"It’s not necessarily a Breeder Civilization, right? There could be other reasons for such a high Civilization Index," an Awakener said weakly.

"Heh heh, as long as there’s a possibility of being a Breeder, that’s enough. Do you dare take the risk?"

Noah followed the voice and looked over. He recognized the Awakener who had spoken; it was one of the individuals who had overheard his earlier, unintentional remark.

It seemed they knew that newly promoted civilizations usually came to the Civilization Pillar, so they had arrived in advance to lie in wait.

But what was the point?

He glanced beside the Awakener, and a withered, gaunt figure came into view. The figure was nothing but skin and bones, its head a skull burning with cold, eerie flames.

The Bone Fire Awakener stared intently at Noah, its upper and lower jawbones moving.

"Blue Star Civilization, the Dragon Slayers will find you and eliminate you."

Dragon Slayers.

As these words were spoken, the surrounding Awakeners retreated even further, their eyes filled with fear. Many of them already regretted coming here to witness the commotion.
