Facing the Apocalypse with My Other Selves-Chapter 574 - 323: Alliance of Advanced Civilizations (Part 2)

It is not for profit and power, but for a greater purpose.

Because only this way can truth be explored more efficiently.

However, what these civilizations didn't anticipate was that the existence of the interstellar world Shen Yu not only diminished their chances of destroying the universe but also demonstrated ample sincerity.

That's right, even if this power to destroy the universe is still under the control of Shen Yu and others.

However, being under the control of a group is entirely different from being controlled by an individual.

In the face of a collective, or even a civilization, the variables undoubtedly decrease significantly.

This provides a space for negotiation.

However, even so, it's impossible to agree directly.

The next round of questions began once more.

This time, it focused on the actions after integrating the power of the entire universe.

All civilizations must ensure that after integration, the system's activity, efficiency, stability, etc., are maintained.

Also, diversity must be ensured.

In the past, powerful civilizations capable of integrating all civilizations in the universe have appeared, but the reason they didn't do so was not due to other reasons, but merely because those civilizations realized that diversity in civilizations is one of the key guarantees of diversity in technological development.

Subsequently, Shen Yu provided an answer.

"We will first adopt a federal system, all civilizations jointly forming a federation and ensuring that resources and goals can be gathered to a certain extent while maintaining internal competition..."

Such a structure is all too familiar to the many Shen Yu.

In almost all worlds involving multi-civilization powers, this step is basically necessary.

This is also inevitable.

Whether it's a federal system or an alliance system, they are essentially transitional institutions.

These systems either move towards more unity, more cohesion, until they become a true whole.

Or they move towards internal discord, leading to division.

Obviously, the former is the pursuit of the many Shen Yu.

The civilizations present have experienced countless civilization changes and have observed and witnessed unknown civilizations' development, and they naturally understand the implications of establishing this federation.

But they can clearly perceive.

This indeed is the most correct, the only choice under the current circumstances.

Yes, the only one.

Everything Shen Yu and others have done today, whether gathering all Shen Yu to exhibit power or announcing the existence of Heavenly Dao consciousness, or even everything stated previously, was to make this choice the only one.

They clearly understand that what they are up against is a group of extremely advanced civilizations.

And the common feature of advanced civilizations is they will surely make the most correct choice.

Even if it's only "correct" from their own position's perspective.

Obviously, Shen Yu and others have achieved that.

Once Shen Yu's words had completely fallen, some civilization, after a not too lengthy thinking, quickly made a choice.

"We will join."

Similar words increased rapidly within a short time.

After a comprehensive thought about their great goals and even the survival interests of civilization, it was easy to conclude that joining was the best choice.

And once having chosen to join, the representatives of these civilizations set their sights on all the civilizations hesitating and contemplating.

Clearly, their stance had changed.

Since they themselves chose to join, this federation must be established!

This sense of pressure again added weight to the scales.

More and more civilizations made the correct choice.

However, even having prepared to such an extent, some things still couldn't be perfect.

Some civilizations might still not join.

For example, the Observer Civilization.

This civilization has almost abandoned its own development; exploring a greater world cannot move them. What they have to do is forever only one thing.

That's observing and judging the threat level to the universe.

Then take action.

Clearly, the threat posed by the multitude of Shen Yu controlling the source of Heavenly Dao has reached an unprecedented level.

So, the Observer Civilization chose to remain silent.

They intend to continue observing.

And similar civilizations are not just one.

There are two others.

They aren't all observers, but they have one common trait.

—— They have abandoned the pursuit of development.

That allows them to resist this unique choice.

Moreover, there might still be such civilizations in the universe.

The universe is simply too vast; despite Level Five Civilizations having cross-galactic mobility capabilities, not all Level Five Civilizations have contacts and practices, and indeed, they don't have a way to thoroughly control all civilizations across the universe.

But even so, the interstellar world Shen Yu was quite excited, seemingly indifferent to the performance of these three civilizations.

"Let them be." The interstellar world Shen Yu merely said, "We also need a comparison; their opposition and the consent from so many civilizations are sufficient for comparative layers. As long as we develop better afterwards, when engaging with these resisters, we can significantly increase cohesion."

Yes, having a few civilizations for comparison isn't a bad thing.

The most important thing is — he finally unified the whole universe!

Even if this is only the first step, it is a crucial step.

In the Gray Mist Space, many Gray Mists have already begun to appear.

Not too many, not too few.

But clearly, these Gray Mists indicate that without today's actions, so many deaths would have appeared in this universe.

The interstellar world Shen Yu has already saved these people.

"In the short term, what you need to do is integrate the resources of these strong civilizations." After returning to the Gray Mist Space, Shen Yu couldn't help but to remind the interstellar world Shen Yu, "These strong technological civilizations mostly have different technological emphases, and besides their own research, you also need to guide some important research."

This is not an order; the Association cannot interfere with members' arrangements for their own world, this remains the highest law of the Association.

This is merely a suggestion.

And it was recognized by the interstellar world Shen Yu.

"I understand. The current balance is still very fragile." The interstellar world Shen Yu nodded slightly, also somewhat cooled down.

For subsequent development, he actually already has a rough direction.

Although there will be difficulties, and even some opposition, these will all contribute to the development of cohesion for the entire "Federation of Advanced Civilizations."

That's right, the name of this federation is called the "Federation of Advanced Civilizations."

It's a very clear manifestation of purpose.

Moreover, today's harvest wasn't just these.

Other Shen Yu participating in today's actions were also quite excited.

"Tight calculations, every reaction was within calculations, no accidents occurred, even though there was Gray Mist as a fallback, it was still impressive."

"I finally understand the working methods of the predecessors of our Association."

"We actually don't need to make moves, just being present is enough."

"I have a suggestion, we gather some Gray Mist to create our own 'avatars'; not needing any other functions, just to exhibit power, it's quite intimidating for most world powers themselves."

"..."

This could be regarded as the first full activation of the Association.

Though most people were merely existing as background scenery.

However, without such background, actions could not be established.

For this, the interstellar world Shen Yu paid the rewards he promised to other Shen Yu.

Not just Gray Mist, but also promises to use his own power in research.

This to some extent deepened mutual help within the Association members.

Also one of the reasons the many Shen Yu were excited.

Clearly, soon enough, the apocalyptic crises in these worlds will usher in explosive strong support.

Even in some powerful worlds, it will be so.
