Run Away, This Civilization Is Cheating!-Chapter 337 - 299: The Second Ranking Settlement!_2
Chapter 337: Chapter 299: The Second Ranking Settlement!_2
Ji Zhan’s eyes lit up slightly.
He had already understood the Demon King Ebat’s intentions.
With the power of the Ancient God, they would resist the Human Emperor!
This was naturally extremely dangerous, as the power of the Ancient Gods was clear. However, it was indeed their only chance of survival!
…
At this moment, Shen Hao had no idea of the struggle between Ji Zhan and the Demon King Ebat.
...
In fact, in his eyes, these two were already on a path to certain death.
For their own selfish reasons, they ignored the warnings of Human Civilization, dragging the entire trial into a worse state. Just this alone was enough reason for Shen Hao to make a move without worrying about provoking the hostility of the entire Great Wilderness Civilization, even potentially taking it under his control in a relatively intact form.
As for the Ebat Civilization, it wasn’t suitable anyway. When the time came, seeing what could be used from the “legacy” would be enough.
However, these were matters for later.
What was more important now was the new round of ranking reward settlements!
The second settlement node clearly related to the fate of the Great Wu Empire, and due to the interventions of the Great Wilderness and Ebat Civilizations, the whole event had been somewhat accelerated. But now, the new ranking settlement node had arrived.
Thus, it had been precisely one year and eight months since coming to this universe!
It was the longest time Human Civilization had participated in a trial.
However, time was still tight.
Only now had the overall strength of Human Civilization caught up to the forefront level of the civilizations participating in this trial, and with the addition of affiliated civilizations, they could barely be called an “overlord”, yet they could not easily face the challenges of this trial.
Shen Hao hoped that this settlement would bring some surprises.
Shen Hao watched the countdown to the ranking settlement with a bit of expectation.
At the moment the countdown hit zero, the Chosen One panel popped up with the message as promised.
[Your civilization has obtained first place in the second ranking settlement of this trial.]
[As the Chosen One with the highest contribution value within your civilization, you will make the reward selection for your civilization.]
[Please choose three rewards from the following three.]
[1, Illusion Barrier]
[2, nano core]
[3, Divine Grade Spirit Vein]
“It must be three Red Mythical level rewards!” Shen Hao looked at the names of the rewards and realized that aside from the last one, the others were not easy to guess.
But that didn’t matter; the quality was there.
For Human Civilization today, only the Red Mythical level Civilization Rewards could truly be considered a solid foundation.
After all, having acquired so many affiliated civilizations and having assimilated the legacy of two Trial Civilizations, the number of Golden Legendary level Civilization Rewards had soared, and all other civilizations also had a considerable number of Golden Legendary level Civilization Rewards, which were no longer significantly helpful to the whole civilization.
Fortunately, even with the trial difficulties increasing dramatically, he was still able to lead Human Civilization to consistently take first place!
Shen Hao first looked at the last one.
[Name: Divine Grade Spirit Vein]
[Quality: Red Myth]
[Level: 34 (50)]
[Originating from a powerful Cultivation Civilization, formed over countless years, this high-quality spirit vein consists of one Main Vein, twelve Secondary Main Veins, thirty-six High-grade Spirit Veins, and one hundred and eight Mid-grade Spirit Veins, spreading across an entire planet, containing numerous Spirit Stones and Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures!]
[Note 1: Can only be used in certain civilization facilities that require Spiritual Energy.]
[Note 2: Divine Grade Spirit Veins can self-generate Spiritual Energy, but should not be overexploited, as excessive extraction will permanently damage the Spirit Vein.]
“It really is a Spirit Vein!” Shen Hao read through the description, which was more or less what he had guessed.
The Extraordinary Elements on the Human Mother Planet had already reached Level 30, and there was an “Extraordinary Element Pulse,” with cities of the entire civilization built over Spirit Vein nodes.
However, these Spirit Veins were all relatively new.
Beyond their richer concentration of Extraordinary Elements, they lacked other properties, let alone forming Heavenly Materials, Earthly Treasures, or Spirit Stones.
But the Divine Grade Spirit Vein before him was equivalent to directly transplanting a Spirit Vein from an ancient, long-existing Cultivation Planet!
Even without seeing it in person, Shen Hao could already imagine the wealth contained within it.
On the other hand, as the strong foundation of Human Civilization gradually increased, the original Extraordinary Elements were indeed somewhat insufficient.
For instance, the Accelerated Secret Realm, Dream World, and even the Heavenly Tribulation—all these foundations are not rootless duckweeds; they all require the world to provide Extraordinary Power.
Not to mention, as the number of Cultivators continues to increase and their strength continuously enhances, the demand will incessantly rise.
Thus, obtaining this Divine Grade Spirit Vein could undoubtedly give the entire planet a breather.
Frankly speaking, this thing is akin to the “oil” of an Extraordinary Civilization!
A Red Mythical Spirit Vein is enough for the entire civilization to use for quite a long time.
“However, it’s only a resource-based reward for developmental direction,” Shen Hao said, although quite satisfied with this reward. However, with the imminent massive battle, countless powerful Dimensional Creatures were rampaging across the universe, and he still hoped to receive a reward geared toward war.
After all, items like Spirit Stones can also be purchased in bulk at the Point Mall.
As long as one has enough points, theoretically, there will be no problem with resources.
However, while ranking rewards do consider the needs of a civilization to a certain extent, whether one can get what they want still depends on luck.
Shen Hao then looked at the first reward.
[Name: Illusion Barrier]
[Quality: Red Mythical]
[Level: 34 (50)]
[Taps into the planet’s Da Yuan, forming a massive barrier capable of covering the entire solar system, hiding the solar system in illusion, and avoiding most forms of detection!]
[Note: Where there is a shield, there is a spear, do not depend on it excessively]

“A concealing type of barrier!” Shen Hao’s eyes lit up, “And it can even hide the entire solar system!”
This is a solar system!
Even though the current Solar System is left with one orbit, it is still an immensely vast range.
The difficulty of enveloping the entire solar system using technological means is even far greater than the “Dyson Sphere” in some science fiction works!
The importance of this barrier goes without saying.
Shen Hao could already imagine that the upcoming trials would undoubtedly involve visiting various universes with powerful native forces.
If, like the Great Sword Civilization, they started directly beside a powerful, domineering, even cruel force right at the beginning, it would be a nightmare.
Shen Hao had great confidence in the developmental potential of Human Civilization, but he had no assurance in the initial strength of Human Civilization.
In such a case, the importance of this concealment-focused reward is self-evident.
If they had obtained this reward earlier, even if the trial had just begun, they would be able to understand the situation more comfortably.
But, as the saying goes.
Although it’s powerful and needed by Human Civilization, it’s not very helpful in the current situation.
Shen Hao then looked at the last reward.
— Nano Core.
This thing, by the sound of it, seems to be a reward on the technological path.
Shen Hao directly checked the system information.
[Name: Nano Core]
[Quality: Red Mythical]
[Level: 34 (50)]
[Originating from a powerful technological civilization’s pinnacle of engineering, it nearly destroyed the entire civilization! But it was ultimately controlled, and the device can generate and control self-replicating nano-machine particles, possessing unique strengths in domains like warfare, production, and control!]
[Note: Its weaknesses are distinctly evident, use cautiously!]
“Self-replicating nano-particles!” Shen Hao could not help but take a breath.
Having seen the words Nano Core, he had guessed whether it could be the kind of terrifying rapid development found in some sci-fi works.
But indeed, it was exactly that!
Self-replication means one becomes two, two becomes four, four becomes eight…
The terror of exponential growth goes without saying!
