Chapter 244: Shen Shi, the sage who came out of the mountain
As long as this is clear, Shen Shi will not blindly resist the power of Ace civilization.
He even has to play his role to a certain extent.
That is, a civilization leader who is not willing to be annexed by the Ace civilization, but is completely powerless.
And he is also a has-been leader.
Anyway, except for contemporary society, which is the root of everything and the foundation of the development of human civilization, no other future line or world can be destroyed.
However, even though Shen Shi was well prepared, Ace Civilization's actions this time were still not as simple as Shen Shi imagined.
After the first rejection by human civilization, the Ace civilization actually changed its previous attitude and began to become tough to a certain extent.
"They want to integrate the power of the entire galaxy and establish a real galaxy system?"
When Shen Shi heard the news, he was also surprised.
In the future line, he no longer has the power to predict the future, and this kind of thing has never happened in the historical records of Mulder system for tens of thousands of years!
The Ace civilization actually wants to unify the power of the galaxy?
Or cooperate with the "Liao Tai" civilization that also controls the other half of the galaxy?
"My subordinates also found it very strange. This has violated the tacit understanding in Mulder's system." Yulan made some investigations into this, but the results of the investigation led to a greater unknown.
As he said, there is some kind of tacit understanding in Mudd's system that is different from the rules.
On the surface, a C-level civilization is already very self-sufficient and can re-create its own civilization, and no longer needs to hand over its own people as offerings. But in fact, under such rules
C-level civilization must constantly fight with other C-level civilizations, and must also constantly plunder lower-level civilizations in order to maintain its own development. This is a tacit understanding.
As for B-level civilization, Shen Shi didn't know much about it.
But he also believes that a B-level civilization will never be as important and high-level in the Mulder system as it appears on the surface, and at the same time have absolute dominance over the star field it manages.
Even if this kind of governing power does exist, it must be limited.
Otherwise, it would be impossible for every galaxy to have similar rules and conditions.
The status quo of this Mulder system from the bottom to the top is partly a matter of explicit rules, and partly a tacit understanding.
But now.
This sign of Ace's civilization is clearly meant to break the tacit understanding.
"Can't we find more information?" Shen Shi asked.
"It's difficult." Yulan shook her head, with a serious face, "As far as I know, this change comes from the management of Ace Civilization and Liao Tai Civilization. Even some people within these two civilizations
I don’t know the reason, but their attitude has indeed changed, and there is a strong tendency of ‘join or perish’.”
Human civilization does indeed maintain close ties with Ace civilization on the surface.
But Shen Shi knew it very well, or every high-level human being knew it very well.
The so-called "intimacy" is just an appearance based on interests, and underneath the appearance, there is still a hostile relationship between the intruder and the invaded.
Under such circumstances, it is indeed too difficult to know the intelligence information from the management of Ace Civilization.
In other words, almost impossible.
In the absence of future information, Shen Shi must make a decision.
to be honest.
This was the first time that he truly felt the difficulty of being a decision-maker, and it was not based on confidence in the future like in the past.
He didn't have much time to hesitate.
Both the sage's experience and his own growth told him that when faced with this situation, hesitation is the stupidest thing to do, and quickly choosing a direction and making a decision is the most correct choice.
"We join them, and we must be the first to join!" Shen Shi ordered, standing up at the same time, "I issued a declaration to the outside world that I will return to serve as the five standing members of the Supreme Council."
With Yulan's original abilities, she couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
But he soon nodded excitedly.
"yes!"
Of course he was excited, because this meant that the retired sage had once again stepped forward at a critical moment for mankind and would once again lead human civilization into the future.
And I don’t know if it’s his illusion.
He always felt that he saw something familiar to him in the sage in front of him.
It was an unforgettable hundred years in his life. It was the moment when human civilization, despite its weak body, was able to gain a firm foothold in the land of Gus. It was also the most glorious moment when the saint died!
Even if the sages have made some mistakes in the past three thousand years, if the sages really regain the state they were in at that time, then he believes that the sages can still lead mankind to a glorious future!
Just like three thousand years ago!
Shen Shi, who felt the fluctuation in Yulan's heart, also had an indescribable feeling.
It turns out that in the eyes of some people, everything he did was greater than everything the sage did in the past three thousand years.
"In this case, it's time to start truly integrating this incarnation." Shen Shi whispered in his heart.
Future Line No. 2 has been open for such a long time, but Shen Shi has never integrated with this incarnation, because his strength is not enough to achieve perfect fusion, which will inevitably bring great waste, and even make Future Line No. 2
The line of human civilization has lost a powerful original foundation.
However, at this moment, more than three hundred years later, Shen Shi's strength has already become extraordinary.
He already has enough confidence to digest everything about the sage's death and become stronger!
After all, this is not as simple as one plus one.
And this will also become one of the forces for human civilization to find its direction in the fog that will pervade next.
Yu Lan took Shen Shi's order and took action.
As expected, the news that the sage was about to appear again caused a sensation throughout human civilization.
In fact, although the incarnation of the sage Shen Shi is not as perfect as what Shen Shi did in the first three hundred years, he did not make any big mistakes, otherwise he would not be called a "sage".
Sage Chenshi's retirement was actually because the emergence of the Ace civilization made Sage Chenshi realize that he was unable to resist. In order to preserve himself and increase his body's power, he chose to practice quietly.
But now that I stood up, I naturally received a lot of attention.
Some people were worried, some were surprised, and some also noticed something.
But no matter what, the Supreme Council was convened for this reason.
What is being discussed this time is the return of the sage’s right to die!
When Shen Shi came to the meeting space of the Supreme Council again, he also had a strange feeling.
In the past, every time he came here, he occupied an absolute position, and even observed everyone from a high position, but now that he came here as a sage, he no longer felt this way, and even he still
The object being observed.
"winter--!"
Along with the melodious bell, it also represents the official start of the meeting.
"When did this rule start?" Shen Shi's voice appeared first, "This bell."
"..."
The consciousness of all the members paused for a moment.
It wasn't until a while later that someone answered: "This is the year 2112 of the Starry Sky Era. It was proposed by Lawrence Alfred, the standing councilor at that time. After more than 1,200 years of development,
, has become a symbol representing the authority of the conference."
It was Gongchu who answered Shen Shi's words.
At the beginning of the Gong Dynasty, he was also one of the five standing members.
His statement also triggered reactions from many people.
Gongchu was a staunch sage sect at the beginning, but after sage Shenshi chose to retire, Gongchu's public contact with sage Shenshi became much less. Moreover, as the military commander-in-chief of mankind on the surface, Gongchu
Chu Zao no longer needs to add the title of "faction" to him. He himself is one of the highest powers in human civilization.
Therefore, many people speculated that Gongchu would no longer obey the will of the sages.
And this is also the focus of today's meeting.
The status and rights of the sage are placed here. It is almost inevitable that he wants to return. But the key lies in whose position he has replaced and how much support he can get among the standing members.
Among the five major council members, apart from Gongchu, there are two others who have confirmed their preference for sages.
It's not because these two people have any relationship with the sages, but because these two people, like the sages, are vigilant factions and do not want to see human civilization being swallowed up by the Ace civilization in the end, even if this swallowing is replaced by a "
A "beautiful name" for "integration".
Therefore, if the sage eventually replaces one of these two people and becomes a standing member, it means that the sage no longer has the absolute status he had when he was in power in the past.
But if it is to replace the rest.
That means the return of the sages will once again lead the path of human civilization.
The key to this decision lies with Gongchu.
If Gongchu was a sage, there would be no suspense in the ending.
Because the sages have not yet returned, they have already occupied three-fifths of the rights that represent the highest dominion of human civilization.
So at this moment, everyone's emotions have become extremely complicated, and various emotions are coming one after another. In this meeting space that can highlight conscious emotions, everyone can clearly feel it.
"I see." Facing Gongchu's response, Shen Shi just said indifferently, "This idea is very good and worth maintaining."
One of the standing members, a member named Ken, began to appear slightly anxious.
Because he can't see through it.
He is a staunch integrationist.
The development potential of human civilization has come to an end. Even if it refuses the help of Ace civilization, human civilization will not get a better future. It will suffer endless suffering and even destruction because of the refusal. Comparing this result,
Gaining new life and a new future in the Ace civilization is the best choice. In the final analysis, it is a ridiculous and sad thing to pay attention to tradition and inheritance in this sea of stars that only care about profit.
However, it was the sage who made this choice.
This put him under great pressure.
So from the very beginning of today's meeting, he showed some impatience and did not hide it at all.
This impatience was particularly prominent in the brief conversation between Shen Shi and Gong Chu.
Because he was vaguely aware that Gong Chu might not have changed from beginning to end.
And at the next moment, his mood suddenly changed drastically.
Not just him, but many others as well.
And more and more people are experiencing mood changes.
the reason is simple.
They suddenly discovered that this supreme conference established in the world of original energy had undergone some changes.
What has changed is not the rules, but the permissions!
The bell before the start of the meeting has become one of the highest authority, which means that even if all five standing members agree to cancel this rule, they still cannot do it!
"You... left a backdoor in the original energy world?" Ken's consciousness conveyed a certain unbelievable emotion, and before Shen Shi could say anything, he took the first step.
rejected, "No, it's impossible. The core part of the original energy world has been transformed countless times. Even if you leave a back door, it won't be able to function... How did you do it?
?”
Although Ken is a master of original energy, he can no longer control his emotions at this moment.
Because he has been able to determine that he failed.
Although I have been mentally prepared for this, after all, I have to face the only sage since mankind entered the Starry Sky Era!
】
However, he was not defeated by Gongchu's decision, but by this inexplicable reason!
You must know that since Shen Shi brought the original energy world into human civilization more than 3,000 years ago, the original energy world has become an indispensable part of human civilization. It has not only accelerated the development process of human civilization, but also
An important part related to everyone, it is not only the center of growth, but also the center of authority, and also the center of original consciousness.
This unique status has even allowed it to undergo transformation and investment again and again, from the initial standard original energy device to a unique original energy device that belongs exclusively to human beings.
It can be said that if anyone can break through the original energy world, it means that they can also easily break through human civilization!
Therefore, Ken could not imagine how Shen Shi could do it with the authority of a retired honorary member.
How on earth did he lose!
"Can't you figure it out?" Shen Shi's consciousness was still calm, without any joy of victory, because everything was so natural, "Don't forget, no matter how you change it, the original energy world is a civilized original energy device. When I
When the original power of the device exceeds the sum of all of you, as long as you have the authority of a member of parliament, you are qualified to reintroduce this device into the world of consciousness and obtain the authority that belongs exclusively to the supreme primal power of the race."
