Trading Cosmic Battleship From The Start-Chapter 502 - 291: A Surprise Delivered to the Door_2
The Ancestral Spirit People is another civilization proficient in Primordial Energy Technology, but unlike the Three-Day Civilization, where every individual of the entire race abandons the physical body of the material world upon birth to exist in a collective consciousness, the Ancestral Spirit People adopt a method of gathering the consciousness of individuals who choose death, managing and deciding major affairs of the entire civilization.
The most widely spread saying in their race is, "Death is the great beginning."
When each Ancestral Spirit person reaches the end of their life in the material world, they abandon their personal emotions, even their conscious thoughts, to merge into their Great Ancestral Spirit. This has been the case for thousands and tens of thousands of years since the Great Ancestral Spirit’s inception.
By now, their Ancestral Spirit has become the most powerful trump card of their entire civilization.
Moreover, it guides their civilization forward as a "Divine Spirit."
Yes, the name of the Ancestral Spirit civilization is a semantic translation, not a phonetic one.
Of course, concerning Shen Shi’s goals, this powerful Primordial Energy consciousness collective indeed presents a small bit of trouble.
From this perspective, it seems that the Ancestral Spirit People might not be the most suitable for humanity’s first strike, but in the short term, there is indeed no better target than them. Besides, Shen Shi has ample confidence in plundering this civilization. From this angle, they might even be a better opponent—nothing demonstrates strength more than defeating a powerful Primordial Energy existence on its level.
Therefore, Shen Shi concentrated almost all of his mind on this Ancestral Spirit person he controlled.
Following Shen Shi’s instructions.
This fleet Commander, who held a significant position among the Ancestral Spirit civilization, directly declared his identity when approaching his Mother Star.
"I have been assimilated by the great human envoy, and I come with a noble mission. My compatriots, like me, prostrate at the feet of the great humans, and this is our highest honor..." The unreserved words of the Ancestral Spirit person naturally provoked the high attention of the Ancestral Spirit civilization instantly.
"Damn it, have you been controlled?"
"Stop immediately, we will inspect your consciousness."
"Who is it?"
"Don’t worry, our compatriot, you will soon be restored to normal, regain your self, and those controlling you will pay the price."
"..." 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺
For the Ancestral Spirit civilization, which is proficient in Primordial Energy Technology, they naturally thought of a solution at the first moment.
They quickly stripped this Ancestral Spirit Commander’s entire authority, dispatched an independent intelligent fleet to bring him back, and then sent a whole team of powerful Masters of Primordial Energy, completely surrounding him with the most powerful Primordial Energy Device.
This cannot be said to be disregarded; rather, it’s an extremely vigilant approach.
On their territory, under the watchful eyes of countless Ancestral Spirit people, under the gaze of the Great Ancestral Spirit, they couldn’t imagine any unsolvable possibilities.
It’s just unfortunate that this time they’re facing a power outside of specifications.
Ever since being influenced and transformed by the Bronze Hall, Shen Shi’s strength had, to some extent, transcended Primordial Energy. The level of his power, his influence over consciousness, operated in a manner completely distinct from Primordial Energy—a difference in level, not solvable through mass.
Of course, the most critical element lies in what Shen Shi did to this Ancestral Spirit Commander.
——He implanted his own avatar!
In a future line that inherently exists in the form of avatars, achieving this is not easy, but keep in mind, this is the main world line!
Here, Shen Shi is complete and powerful, and his avatar is equally powerful!
Thus, at the moment the Ancestral Spirit people contacted this Commander’s consciousness, an indescribable force erupted in their Sea of Consciousness!
"Submit in the posture of a servant! This is your only ending, even self-destruction cannot stop it!"
This was the first time Shen Shi used his full strength since being transformed by the Bronze Hall. He invaded the consciousness of the Ancestral Spirit people with his Primordial Energy in an extremely powerful virus-like way and charged unreservedly into their Ancestral Spirit’s consciousness.
As a result of doing so, the effects he achieved exceeded his expectations.
The Ancestral Spirit was indeed powerful.
As a collective consciousness formed by countless powerful Ancestral Spirit people abandoning their self over numerous years, its mass exceeded some of Shen Shi’s expectations. Under normal circumstances, even the collective force of a powerful civilization might not win in a direct confrontation, as this immense consciousness, like a tsunami, like a giant screen, could crush most Primordial Energy attacks with its mass alone.
This is the foundation of the Ancestral Spirit civilization, one of the reasons for their strength.
However, against such an opponent nearly unbeatable in terms of mass, what Shen Shi possessed was precisely their nemesis.
That is the strength capable of breaking through at a single point!
So upon realizing this, Shen Shi decisively overthrew all previous plans.
The original plan was just to use the full outbreak of this avatar to shock the Ancestral Spirit civilization profoundly and then rapidly plunder them under this pretext, eventually taking away the entire civilization and showcasing extraordinary power to establish a significant reputation within the Thousand Alliance.
But now, he found he might directly start with the Ancestral Spirit.
Once the Ancestral Spirit is controlled...
"One can control the entire Ancestral Spirit civilization!" Shen Shi even, at this moment, communicated with a large number of humans through the Holy Land, mobilizing countless humans’ Primordial Energy, all transforming into a spiral direction harshly charging towards the control center of the Ancestral Spirit.
There was not much skill involved, no exquisite technique.
Just the embodiment of power!
"This is impossible!"
"I feel the wailing of the Great Ancestral Spirit!"
"It’s over, all over!"
"Where did this enemy come from? Their strength is even stronger than the rumored Pasture Master!"
"..."
Amid the despairing emotions of countless Ancestral Spirit strong persons, Shen Shi finally, in the last attack, completely stormed into the center of the Ancestral Spirit, gaining total control over this vast entity that is the collective consciousness of countless ancestral spirits.
Then, everything became simple.
Unlike an average civilization’s central AI which merely assists rather than constitutes the main body, for the Ancestral Spirit civilization, the Ancestral Spirit is the highest authority, the supreme Divine Spirit, the center of the entire civilization. With such a center controlled, the order of the Ancestral Spirit civilization also fell into Shen Shi’s grasp. Even if a few wanted to break free of control, merely relying on the Ancestral Spirit’s power would be enough to settle it.
Even in the computationally powerful interstellar, surprises like this can still be delivered to one’s doorstep.
"Begin consolidating power, I will take you away—with the identity of a master." Shen Shi’s orders and intentions were undisguised from start to finish, especially at this moment when the Ancestral Spirit people had no ability to resist.
Moreover, within the interstellar realm, submission to the strong is a truth as normal as any.
Not to mention them.
Even A-level civilizations far stronger than them must submit to the Pasture Master’s strength, don’t they?
So, no matter the resentment in their hearts, no matter the inability to immediately accept this sudden, nightmare-like reality, most Ancestral Spirit people, with the rationality brought by Primordial Energy, made the correct choice in accordance with their interests.
When Shen Shi conveyed this news to the other council members, even those far on the Mother Star cheered at the sound.
"This is simply a surprise gift delivered right to us!"
"I think we can set our prestige even grander!"
"That’s right, such a result is enough to cause adequate intimidation!"
"All follow-up plans must be overhauled, entirely! My inspiration has exploded! I absolutely can produce a better scheme!"
"Honorable Master Sage Saint, with this first batch of system members, the system structure should also establish a prototype. The ’Servant’ system might be good, but caution is needed to prevent our own excessive arrogance."
