"A choice?"
"As the most advanced civilization in the 079 star system, I can clearly feel that the protective power of the Epoch Will over the real world has weakened."
Emperor Luo sighed, "This is also the most important reason why I invited you here."
"If no action is taken, more and more abyssal rifts will appear in the real world."
Jiang Yan was slightly taken aback.
Why is this happening?
It's only the third year now; such a crisis didn't occur at this time in my previous life...
Wait... hundreds of divine towers, could it be...?
"Are the ancient true gods about to emerge? Have they absorbed a portion of the power of the will of the era?"
Jiang Yan blurted it out.
"I'm afraid that's the case."
Emperor Luo smiled bitterly: "It seems that the intensity of this abyss riot far exceeded our expectations. Even the various realms could not withstand it, and the will of the era had no choice but to compromise."
"After all, the various realms bear more than 90% of the pressure from the abyss. If they collapse, all the worlds will be destroyed. Compared to that, sacrificing a portion of the interests of the real world is nothing."
Is there any way to remedy this?
Jiang Yan glanced at the crowd and noticed that they didn't seem overly worried.
"have."
Emperor Luo nodded and said, "The dedication plan."
"A donation plan?"
Jiang Yan felt a surge of familiarity.
"That's right."
"You should have also experienced the battles in the Beginner Continent's Kingdom of Faith, right? You might even encounter Abyss Demigods, which are jokingly referred to as cutscenes or plot kills."
"But after this battle, the difficulty of the second Abyss Riot will drop sharply."
"This was originally top secret, but given your current status, you will find out sooner or later."
Luo Huang said, word by word, "According to our research, large-scale deaths occurring simultaneously under certain extreme emotional states can reduce the intensity of the Abyss's attacks for a certain period of time."
"Extreme emotional state?"
Yes...
First, they were told that a god had descended and given them hope.
Then they discovered that the gods couldn't help them at all, and they were slaughtered by the abyss, falling into despair.
Then the appearance of a demigod in the duchy rekindled hope.
Ultimately, they were defeated by the forced sacrifice of more than half of their people, bringing despair once again.
Wait... Jiang Yan suddenly remembered his past life.
Now that I think about it, aren't the Federation and other Level 2 civilizations the same?
Discovered and welcomed by a more advanced civilization, the experience shifted from fear to delight.
Forced to join the resistance against the abyss once again, they were plunged into fear once more.
Later, with the friendly assistance of advanced civilizations, they gradually established themselves and regained hope.
Until finally betrayed, their civilization perished, and they fell into despair.
No wonder they were always looking for more primitive civilizations in their past lives; now I understand.
"So... does the dedication plan refer to sacrificing those weaker civilizations?"
Jiang Yan said in a low voice.
"Young friend, do you think this is too heartless?"
Luo Huang said self-deprecatingly, "We've also tried other methods."
He reached out and touched the image in the center, and countless images merged into one.
An image is displayed.
It was a powerful civilization, with hundreds of high-ranking god-lords on high alert.
Abyssal rifts appeared one after another in the void, and soon the survival points of the civilization were insufficient to support the barrier, and countless demons descended from the sky.
They were endless, and almost instantly overwhelmed the lords.
Even if a few powerful lords could barely resist, in the real world where there is no power to suppress the rules, these demon gods could destroy thousands of miles of starry sky with a single blow, and an entire civilization would be destroyed in the war.
"This was discovered in the ruins of a powerful civilization, far surpassing even the Empire. It was utterly powerless against the Abyss's all-out attack."
"We have no other choice."
Jiang Yan stared intently at the projection of the Abyss Invasion.
There was no excessive anger in my heart.
He had considered that he might have inadvertently offended a powerful figure in the empire.
They also considered that perhaps the higher-level civilization responsible for providing support was afraid of death and delayed the battle.
But little did they expect that the once mighty empire was merely struggling to survive.
"But wouldn't that be tantamount to slow suicide?" Jiang Yan thought of a text he had read in school.
Cut five cities today, cut ten cities tomorrow...
A level-two civilization will eventually run out of steam, and the abyss will eventually lose patience.
"No, as long as you are alive, there is still a chance for things to turn around."
Upon hearing this, another elder of the high-ranking gods suddenly shook his head and said, "Miracles exist in the world of gods. Whether it's the appearance of an unparalleled genius like yourself or the return of the ancient gods, isn't that a glimmer of hope?"
"Young friend, there is no need to worry too much."
Emperor Luo then spoke up, "I have already transferred the Level 3 civilization quota in the star sector where the Federation is located to the Federation, just like the divine positions in the various realms. The civilization qualification in the real world represents the degree of protection it receives from the will of the era."
"Civilization qualifications?"
A completely new term made Jiang Yan pause, and he couldn't help but ask:
Isn't the level of civilization the result of its own efforts to develop?
Luo Huang and the others exchanged glances and pondered, "Well, since we've come this far, there's no harm in telling you."
"In a star field, a maximum of one Level 5 civilization, nine Level 4 civilizations, and thirty-nine Level 3 civilizations can be born. As for those that are born after that, they can only reach the Level 2 civilization level no matter how hard they try."
"Like your Federation, which achieved a leap in technological development in just a few decades, but then stagnated and found it difficult to make any major breakthroughs. This is the limitation of civilization qualification."
"After I transfer the Level 3 civilization qualification that originally belonged to Nebula Valley to the Federation, its level of civilization will rapidly decline, while the Federation will usher in a new technological revolution and will receive a certain degree of protection."
No wonder when I returned, Miaolin told me that Federal Technology had achieved breakthroughs in just a few months that would have taken over a century to accomplish.
Jiang Yan couldn't help but chuckle.
He suddenly remembered what the God of War had said before.
"Even fate follows the laws of fairness; this is a consensus across all realms."
Yes, all realms will abide by fairness.
But in reality...
"Emperor Luo, I will establish a causal contract, allowing the Empire to view the detailed information of the tenth level ten times."
Jiang Yan remained silent for a long time before agreeing.
He couldn't remain indifferent after the other party told him so many secrets and repeatedly showed him goodwill.
"Then thank you, young friend." Luo Huang and the others smiled, which was exactly what they had hoped for.
"But I hope you can give me some time regarding the dedication plan."
“Jiang Yan, with your potential, you are destined to be a major force in resisting the Abyss in the future. There is no need to confront the Abyss so early. Besides, we have been studying it for countless years and there is no other way.”
Several people repeatedly offered their advice.
"Then what about the true god?" Jiang Yan raised his eyes.
"A true god? Even if a true god had that ability, he wouldn't stand up for us ants," Emperor Luo said with a wry smile.
"No, if they started this, then they must be held responsible."
Jiang Yan looked at the notification that the "All Realms" upgrade was complete that had just been sent.
He said calmly:
“If they don’t agree, I will kill them until they do.”
"This is our responsibility as the true God."
