"This task suits me perfectly."
Cao Mao nodded, not thinking much about why the reward was so generous. The system, however, understood other hidden information but did not speak up to remind him, because the rules prevented it from doing so.
It had given a hint once before, and was warned by the system rules as a result. If it dares to do it again, it will probably be eliminated.
......
The scene returns to Jiang Fan.
The moment the assessment task was announced, he began planning the civilized cleaning campaign.
"With the current level of technology of humankind, inter-universe travel is possible, but many civilizations are well hidden. Beneath this dark forest, countless hunters are waiting with guns in hand."
If I openly and honestly wipe out other civilizations, it wouldn't be good if they, who have been developing for a long time, took notice of me...
Jiang Fan pondered deeply. Although the human race was powerful now, it was not invincible. He still knew the principle that even two fists could not defeat four hands.
"Let the human race rest for a few years first, and I'll give myself a break too."
Jiang Fan stopped thinking about it. He didn't need to rush these things. If anyone wanted to become a Domain Lord, they would have to find him and eliminate him first.
He then applied the time flow to Earth again, and silently descended once more to relax for a few years and relieve the pressure.
In the year 211 of God's grace, a year after the end of the Civilization War, the human race had not made any major breakthroughs, and everything was developing slowly.
In the year 215, after a five-year period of recuperation, the human race returned to its former peace, and its population increased dramatically.
In the year 217, after a few years of slacking off, Jiang Fan saw that the human race had been well-fed and ready, and it was time to give them tasks.
So today he took the initiative to descend to the divine court.
The terrifying phenomenon attracted attention, and Zhuo Yuanming and other high-ranking officials quickly used spatial jumps to greet it.
"Welcome our divine lord!"
The group knelt down to greet and worship.
"Well, find a suitable place; I have something to announce to you all."
Jiang Fan said sternly.
"Yes! Please, my lord!"
Upon hearing this, Zhuo Yuanming stood up and led the way for Jiang Fan, while the others followed respectfully behind without daring to utter a sound.
Inside the meeting room, a group of people dared not breathe loudly; this was the most tense meeting they had ever held.
There was nothing they could do; their God sat on a high throne, and the faint divine power emanating from Him weighed heavily on their chests.
Jiang Fan contained his overflowing divine power, making them feel much better, and said, "I have something to announce here."
Upon hearing this, everyone turned their heads away, not daring to meet Jiang Fan's gaze, and listened silently. Zhuo Yuanming, however, was not so restrained, since he often communicated or met with Jiang Fan.
“My Lord, please speak: whatever the believer can do, he will do with his life!”
Zhuo Yuanming said earnestly.
Jiang Fan nodded in satisfaction and said, "Now that your civilization has entered the second level, the next test is to wipe out all other civilizations in this star system. This is a huge project that cannot be completed in a few days."
This galaxy harbors numerous civilizations, some strong, some weak, all striving for advancement.
They may be weak now, but who knows, they might experience explosive growth in the future and surpass you all in one fell swoop.
In this dark forest, the strong prey on the weak. The weak do their best to hide themselves, while the strong constantly wipe out other weaker civilizations.
I hope you understand that a Type II civilization is only just beginning, just beginning to encounter the darkness of this universe. Those who are not of our kind are sure to have different intentions! All other civilizations are your enemies; only by eradicating or enslaving them can we eliminate future threats forever!
The meeting room was completely silent; everyone agreed with Jiang Fan's words.
Previous civilization wars were nothing more than small skirmishes, just battles between civilizations.
Now they have to fight against all civilizations in the entire galaxy, and the pressure is undoubtedly making them feel suffocated.
Jiang Fan frowned and said sternly, "Are you all afraid?"
"I wouldn't dare!"
The others quickly responded.
Seeing that his lord was displeased, Zhuo Yuanming could not hold back and immediately rebuked him: "You scoundrels! Have you been cultivating for nothing all these years? The greatness of the Lord is incomparable to that of any other false god! What are you afraid of!"
"So what if we're at odds with all the civilizations within a single galaxy? What do we have to fear! Let alone one galaxy, even if all the galaxies were against us, we would still grip our swords and behead them, making them repent under the glory of our Lord!"
"Besides, our civilization is not weak now. We not only possess many high-dimensional weapons, but also the genetic law bestowed by the Lord, which ensures our lifespan. We are no longer weak flesh and blood, and can fly and escape into the earth!"
"We will reach for the stars and moon in the heavens! How can we be mere commoners!"
As Zhuo Yuanming delivered his impassioned speech, everyone's attention was drawn to him. Zhuo Yuanming appeared as if bathed in divine light, his figure towering and majestic.
Even Jiang Fan was taken aback. "How come you're better at bluffing than me? I almost forgot whether you're the creator god or I am."
"Clap clap clap!"
Jiang Fan clapped his hands with an appreciative look in his eyes, and the others quickly echoed, "The High Priest is absolutely right. We were blinded by our own thoughts. The Lord's greatness and divine power cannot be compared to the vastness of the starry universe!"
"Actually, you don't need to worry. As far as I know, there are no civilizations above the third level in this star system."
The basis for this is that no domain lord has yet been born in this star system, so he can still trigger the domain lord promotion mission.
A Type III civilization is a galactic civilization. If one achieves Type III civilization, one can travel freely within a galaxy. Moreover, compared to a Type I civilization, the energy source is not limited to a single planet; even dark matter and black holes can become energy sources.
Zhuo Yuanming was unaware that his Level 2 civilization could actually be considered a pseudo-Level 3 civilization, except that it could not freely travel within star systems or draw energy from black holes.
They have a firm grasp on dark matter, but their technology has gone completely astray. It's absurd that they were able to control dark matter when they were a Level 1 civilization!
Let's get back to the main topic.
As soon as Jiang Fan said that, the others visibly breathed a sigh of relief. No civilization above level three? What was there to be afraid of? They had never been afraid of those at the same level.
"We are all the sword of our Lord, sweeping away all obstacles and spreading the Lord's glory throughout all regions of this galaxy."
Those who are enemies of the Lord are enemies of us. With the torch of civilization and its sharp blade, we will crush all civilizations!
Everyone spoke solemnly, and Jiang Fan nodded in satisfaction; this was exactly the kind of momentum they wanted.
"Very good. You need not underestimate yourselves. There are not many civilizations that can fight you. You just need to hide yourselves and not swagger around too much, so as not to expose yourselves to the sight of other powerful civilizations too early."
Then, a hundred years from now, they will all be worthless! You will slaughter them as easily as lambs to the slaughter!
Jiang Fan said sternly.
"Now it is up to you to plan how to carry out the civilization cleansing operation, and how to target those civilizations that have been hiding in the shadows and dare not expose themselves."
