Trading Cosmic Battleship From The Start-Chapter 274 - 177: Suggestions for the Overlord Path_2

Strength combined with profit is always the best way to make relationships indestructible.

And three days later, Shen Shi returned silently to Blue Star and directly held a highest-level meeting in the consciousness link once again.

"This kind of consciousness link can greatly improve communication efficiency. It should be popularized within human civilization in the future," Shen Shi said. "In fact, for most C-level civilizations, the role of language has been reduced to merely a cultural carrier, and our human civilization must also advance towards the level of a C-level civilization at full speed."

"Councillor Shen, may I ask, has the crisis of war really been eliminated?" an impatient councillor asked.

Here, there is no need to worry about noise, as each person can transmit their consciousness in an instant.

After this question was raised, many people asked similar questions.

What they are truly concerned about at the moment is the war and crisis at the front line.

Since learning of the existence of the invaders, this has been the biggest nightmare for everyone for the past three years!

And now, it seems they have succeeded.

"Of course not." Shen Shi denied the claim that the crisis had been eliminated. "Don’t forget, the entire Milky Way Galaxy we are in is under the control of the Mude System. I don’t need to elaborate on what kind of system the Mude is. Even if we reach C-level, or even B-level, there is no possibility of eliminating the crisis. The crisis always looms over us, so you better be prepared to normalize rapid development and even instill it into our cultural tradition—those leisurely days of the past are gone forever."

In fact, future human civilization is like this.

Expansion and development have already become a part of the entire civilization’s culture.

At least, most people Shen Shi encountered in the secondary Future World market are constantly striving for it.

Otherwise, there wouldn’t be so many people struggling to acquire antiques.

Simply lying flat, with the strength of a top-tier C-level civilization, is enough for everyone to enjoy a pressure-free life.

But the consequences of lying flat...

The Daike Civilization in the primary Future World line has already demonstrated it to Shen Shi.

Stagnant development, watching helplessly as they are replaced by newcomers.

Some people present deeply understood Shen Shi’s words, but some lacked deeper awareness.

But it didn’t matter.

Because, at least for these hundreds of years, human civilization has no room for complacency.

This is also a time to engrave full development into culture.

"Although I captured the Daike Base, I couldn’t prevent the Daike Base’s message about being attacked from being sent out, and as one of the supply node points established by the Daike Civilization, its fall will inevitably be detected. From my understanding of the Daike Civilization, within at most a hundred years, their reconnaissance troops will arrive at Blue Star," Shen Shi continued.

In an instant, everyone’s emotions and consciousness were somewhat agitated.

A hundred years?

Although it seems much longer than the previous three years.

But this is the Daike Civilization!

From E-level to C-level, it’s not just a simple leap over two levels. Comparatively, a hundred years isn’t much better!

"This should be something we expected, isn’t it?" Shen Shi’s rhetorical question gradually calmed the crowd’s agitation.

Yes, this was indeed expected.

After understanding the essence of the Mude System, they should have realized that stable development is impossible in such a system. Weakness only has value in being domesticated; only by becoming strong can one gain some sovereignty and a future, and only by becoming truly strong can one truly seize their destiny.

Humanity indeed has no room for complacency because complacency means abandoning the future and hope.

"Councillor Shen," someone suddenly asked, "Do you have confidence?"

This question silenced the entire room.

Countless people focused on Shen Shi.

The previous sentence Shen Shi said, "As long as I still have confidence, humanity hasn’t reached the point of despair," has become the most famous phrase in the entire civilization.

The result of this war seems to have proven this point.

Humanity’s greatest trump card, its greatest confidence, has always been this Mr. Shen, who returned from the stars, and nothing else!

"I do have confidence."

Once again, Shen Shi did not disappoint the crowd.

Just one sentence visibly heightened the atmosphere, and a surge of invigorated emotion emerged in everyone’s heart.

"But—" Shen Shi suddenly made a turn, "War is enough with just my confidence, but development is not just my affair. This time, my confidence doesn’t come from the Star Sea but from you, from humanity. I believe, as long as we have opportunity and hope, we humans will seize it. And I will bring the opportunity and hope, whether it can be seized depends on all of you."

The room fell silent.

If it were an ordinary time, someone might have stood up to make some bold statements, but here, such words seemed to lose their strength.

More powerful were the emotions.

A hundred years!

Everyone was somewhat dazed.

This time, which initially seemed incredibly long, now seems so urgent.

"Alright, regarding development, we’ll elaborate later, but right now, there’s another issue in this meeting," Shen Shi continued. "You all know I captured a Daike base. This is their supply base, and in this base, there are over one billion intelligent individuals from twenty-seven different civilizations and different races, all captured together."

"—!"

Everyone’s emotions were like being fiercely shocked. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

Although they knew Shen Shi captured a Daike base.

But to think there were other civilizations in this base?

Over a billion of them!

What is this? Collateral damage?

Would this trigger interstellar disputes? Would all those civilizations send warships to retaliate?

"In this Star Domain, there are more than just the Daike and Worren civilizations," Shen Shi ignored the shock of the crowd, only slowly transmitting consciousness. "From now, our human civilization has truly entered the Interstellar Society, and uniquely, as a civilization daring to resist the overlord of this Star Domain. What kind of stance to take towards other civilizations, and how to handle relationships with other civilizations, is a question already before us, and it concerns our future development."

Many people’s emotions slightly calmed down and they nodded slightly.

They actually could imagine.

This time, humanity raised quite a stir.

This is like a suddenly emerging unknown small country at the border of a powerful empire, biting down hard along the border of the empire.

Moreover, capturing all the residents of all countries within this border.

The first response might not be from the empire, but from other smaller countries.

Whether they are fearful or hostile, they will definitely have some impact on the development of human civilization.

"Regarding this issue, I think our choices aren’t many," a councillor suddenly spoke. "The main tone of the Interstellar Society is dark and cruel. Before there is enough strength, peace is just the cry of the weak. Since we have the powerful enemy of the Daike Civilization, we cannot be disturbed by other civilizations. We even need to think about how to profit from other civilizations. Therefore, my suggestion is to take the overlord route!"

This suggestion was immediately recognized by most people.

Until now, human civilization has also been a multi-country civilization.

Throughout the history of human civilization, dealing with such diplomatic relations is already very familiar.

Although interstellar civilization relationships are quite different from those of planetary nations, this is just a difference of power and environment.

Many of their elements are actually the same.
