Trading Cosmic Battleship From The Start-Chapter 510 - 295: Supporting the Development of Affiliates_2
Just another sentence, everyone’s expression became a bit more serious again.
Because the Xisoke Civilization had already begun to speak out.
Yes, sending this person here was already announcing to humanity— we have good faith, but we are also ready for a fight to the death.
"Since this person is so powerful, we cannot participate too much," some human council members, including Gong Chu, felt a sense of regret and dissatisfaction at this moment.
Six thousand years, a full six thousand years.
Their personal strength was still holding back the Sage Saint.
Especially warriors like Chen Feng, who initially followed Shen Shi, could only close their mouths with regret and reluctance at this moment.
"I will take control personally, which is more stable," Shen Shi did not see anything wrong with this.
Even without this incident, he planned to take action personally. After all, the regrets and flaws in the future can only be handled by him.
In short, Shen Shi was silently waiting.
The arrival of the Xisoke Civilization delegation indeed did not receive the same treatment as those weaker civilizations. While humanity needed to show some bravado, they also had to strike a balance; if they appeared disdainful of civilizations like Xisoke, it would easily reveal the reality, for humanity could not project such power, not even the tip of the iceberg of it.
Therefore, after receiving enthusiastic hospitality from the Ancestral Spirit People, it wasn’t long before the high-level members of the Xisoke delegation were allowed to meet the special envoy.
"Special envoy, what kind of status do they hold in your side?" Xi Qian asked the host in front of him.
Precisely the Collector.
The Collector of the main world line had already returned from Gus Land and was also one of the five standing members, his own strength so formidable, that he was certainly among the top ten in human civilization.
Therefore, when he appeared in the capacity of a host, Silla had to intensify its speculation about human civilization.
Because the strength of this person was only slightly weaker than his own.
With stronger devices, in the event of a frontal conflict, he might not necessarily lose.
And this was not the special envoy.
Even purely on the level of Primordial Energy, Silla felt the pressure.
Of course, obtaining more intelligence was also his core goal.
"A special envoy is actually the ’Great Coordinate’ holder," the Collector said in a relaxed and casual manner, as if intending to hide nothing, "The super long-distance teleportation technology we master is not based on fixed locations as coordinates; on the contrary, we use ’people’ as coordinates. In other words, the special envoy can teleport their subordinate forces to their side anytime. You should understand the strategic significance of this, right?"
"Of course..." Silla managed his emotions well and was not overly surprised; in his probability calculations, however, he had added more weight to siding with humanity.
He was too familiar with the strategic importance of this.
A Master of Primordial Energy on such a scale of an interstellar battlefield, unless reaching the level of a Pasture Master, struggles to play a decisive role.
Your Primordial Energy Mastery might be stronger, but if more of your kinsmen and equally strong Primordial Energy Devices accompany you, then you lose!
But even if I win, against stronger Primordial Energy assaults, what I can do alone is very limited.
Using Primordial Energy Spores is the only way to maximize the single-unit strength of a Master of Primordial Energy.
But Primordial Energy Spores come with a cost.
The cost, strictly speaking, is no less than the advantage of numbers.
However, a Master of Primordial Energy also has another advantage.
That is infiltration.
Common Primordial Energy Masters may not have Shen Shi’s absolute infiltration ability from Time Domain, but with special equipment, consciousness influence, and inconspicuous individual life forms, they can infiltrate some enemy bases easily, at least with no issues infiltrating the rear.
At this moment, to summon countless legions...
In some ways, this is not much weaker than a Pasture Master capable of summoning a Fantasy Legion at any time; the difference lies only in the strength of the legion.
"I roughly understand your special envoy system," Silla stated, "This should be your core power control system; a special envoy with this potential can attack dependent forces anytime, manage sudden incidents rapidly, monitor a whole area of influence, and strongly intimidate subordinate civilizations."
"Only strong control provides a safe foundation, doesn’t it?" the Collector did not deny Silla’s words, he just smiled.
"Yes, indeed," Silla nodded solemnly, "Whether it is the Thousand Alliance System or the Mude System, neither supports the development of dependent civilizations, but you can."
That’s what truly attracts them. 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢
The pursuit of more powerful strength is also the instinct of civilization, a universal desire among all civilizations.
However, in the Thousand Alliance, they cannot achieve satisfaction in strength development.
Because their own development has stagnated, and stronger civilizations within the Thousand Alliance won’t give them any support, and might even suppress them to some extent.
This is naturally because those civilizations cannot completely control them and thus fear their strength.
The Xisoke Civilization treats its subordinate civilizations the same way.
The Mude System is even more so.
They rely more on suppression to control other civilizations, rather than through benefits.
Therefore.
Silla was increasingly looking forward to the upcoming meeting.
Finally, he met Shen Shi.
There was no excessive preparation, no shocking first encounter, just meeting in a small, technology-free, extremely old room, seeing the simply dressed, calm Shen Shi.
"Greetings, great special envoy," Silla performed the highest etiquette according to the Xisoke Civilization’s customs when meeting Shen Shi.
He realized the considerable strength in front of him the moment they met because his Primordial Energy could not sense the existence of the person before him.
Is this the strength of a special envoy?
At least in Primordial Energy Mastery, they far surpassed theirs.
"I am aware of your intentions," Shen Shi said calmly, speaking in the ancient Eastern Country Language, yet his meaning was clearly conveyed to Silla, "We are a great civilization in a high-speed development phase. Our powerful Teleportation Ability is the foundation of our system. Under this system, most new members can bring us benefits, so long as one adheres to the rules, we will not refuse, regardless of weakness or strength."
This was a declaration.
A declaration based on the logic of interest.
And indeed, humanity had acted in this manner previously.
Even the weakest fleet, once arrived, was allowed to join because of the benefits, naturally.
Even the smallest interests are interests; no civilization refuses benefits for meaningless reasons.
"We indeed yearn for the system behind you, and we are full of anticipation for the abilities you possess. From you, we see the true essence of what a great Cosmos should look like," Silla, in a flattering yet sincere expression, did not conceal the stance he represented, "However, I apologize for our concerns; we know too little about you to make a decision."
