NOVPUBChapter 423: 190. Crazy Plan_4
Although he was unsure whether a second-level civilization was qualified to enter the third-level civilization, no matter how you looked at it, Earth’s pre-civilization did not really resemble a second-level civilization.
Chu Hongjun nodded slightly and said softly, “Then I can tell you with certainty that Earth’s pre-civilization absolutely could not have been a second-level civilization; it must be a third-level civilization.”
Lin Qing thought the same in his heart.
The highest level of civilization is level four, and there are only two level-four civilizations: the Void Divine Race and the Star Abyss Demon Clan. So, Earth’s pre-civilization is either second-level or third-level.
“How are you sure?” Qi Lingxiao couldn’t help but ask.
Chu Hongjun slowly said, “Level one civilization is the application of energy and matter, while a second-level civilization reaches the peak in the use of space. The reason why 1.9-level civilizations are special is that they also start using space.”
He paused and said, “As for a third-level civilization, it is said that its use of time has fully matured, and its utilization of space-time has exceeded the imagination of all civilizations.”
Lin Qing was shocked in his heart.
The method of storing the Starry Sky Source Stone in the Vacuum Tomb is the cessation of time!
The entire space where the Vacuum Tomb is located is even self-looping, like an independent space-time!
“This time Lin Qing went to the Vacuum Tomb, which allowed me to confirm this point entirely: Earth’s pre-civilization was a third-level civilization.”
Chu Hongjun said in a deep voice, “As a treasure of a third-level civilization, even if only a scant amount remains, once a second-level civilization knows about it, it might drive the second-level civilizations crazy, right?”
He glanced over the three people, “Earth is now like a child carrying a bag of gold, walking through a slum; that is the true danger!”
Qi Lingxiao was stunned for several seconds before saying a bit uncertainly, “A second-level civilization… that seems insurmountable…”
“In the eyes of second-level civilizations, first-level civilizations are like ant nests that can be destroyed at will.”
Chu Hongjun glanced at Qi Lingxiao and said, “You’ve already reached the end of the normal path of Divine Position; you should understand what I mean.”
Qi Lingxiao helplessly nodded his head.
He then asked, “So what is your plan?”
“Two key points.”
Chu Hongjun said, “Secrecy, and survival.”
He paused and said, “There are currently rumors in the Milky Way that there is a treasure left behind by a 1.9-level civilization on Earth. This will only attract level-one civilizations, which is just fine; only the top of the Intelligent Star People are sure Earth’s pre-civilization was a second-level civilization.”
Lin Qing thought thoughtfully, “Completely obliterate the Yuan Chen Civilization?”
“If possible, that would indeed be the best way to maintain secrecy.”
Chu Hongjun said, “The Yuan Chen Civilization doesn’t pose a significant threat to us; now what we fear most is a 1.9-level civilization also catching wind and coming, which would be very troublesome, and Earth people would find it hard to even protect their own lives.”
“A 1.9-level civilization…” Qi Lingxiao took a deep breath and said, “I indeed don’t have the confidence to confront a 1.9-level civilization… Can your plan protect us in front of a 1.9-level civilization?”
“Yes.”
Chu Hongjun nodded and said, “For this, the most critical thing is… capturing that Seventh Rank Space Fortress from the Intelligent Star Group.”
“Seventh Rank Space Fortress?” Qi Lingxiao asked in confusion, “A Seventh Rank Fortress is quite formidable, but to someone like me at the Star Abyss Ninth Layer, it poses no threat; it’s just a turtle shell. What’s the use of a Seventh Rank Fortress?”
“I naturally have a great use for it.” Chu Hongjun said, “A Seventh Rank Space Fortress can only be made by a 1.9-level civilization, and even a 1.9-level civilization needs to consume massive resources.”
Lin Qing had acquired Cardon’s memories and naturally understood the uniqueness of the Seventh Rank Fortress.
The Seventh Rank Fortress had already employed materials with space properties, and the technological limit of a normal level-one civilization was just a Sixth Rank Space Fortress.
The Yuan Chen Civilization had acquired two Seventh Rank Space Fortresses at a huge cost due to their connection with the powerful 1.9-level civilization ‘Nine Stars.’
From this, it can also be seen how much the Yuan Chen Civilization values Earth, having sent one of the Seventh Rank Space Fortresses over early on.
To prevent other universe civilizations from noticing the Yuan Chen Civilization’s emphasis on Earth, they even specifically hid the Lonely Star Fortress inside the Moon.
However…
Even though the Seventh Rank Fortress is powerful, it poses no threat to the Star Abyss Ninth Layer; what does Chu Hongjun need the Seventh Rank Fortress for?
“Lin Qing.”
Chu Hongjun suddenly used telekinesis transmission to Lin Qing, “Cardon is your avatar. Since Lei Tong dared to provoke you, it seems… now the Yuan Chen Civilization should already know that even if Earth turns into a dead star, as long as life can recover, those ruin spaces can be reconnected, right?”
“Yes.” Lin Qing transmitted, “The Governor of the Yuan Chen Civilization consulted the ancestor of the 1.9-level civilization ‘Nine Stars,’ believing that Earth is formed from fragments of a second-level civilization’s Void Secret Realm.”
Chu Hongjun transmitted, “Indeed, then we must seize that Seventh Rank Fortress from the Intelligent Star Group, or else… Earth civilization’s hope will become even dimmer.”
“Dean Chu, is the Seventh Rank Fortress of such great use?” Lin Qing couldn’t help but transmit to ask.
“The Seventh Rank Fortress itself is not of great significance.”
Chu Hongjun transmitted via telekinesis, “But the space materials and core device components of the Seventh Rank Fortress are what I need.”
“Materials and components?” Lin Qing became even more perplexed.
“Earth civilization is weak, so we can only continue with the same deterrence scheme.”
Chu Hongjun transmitted, “But a 1.9-level civilization doesn’t care about those zero-point energy bombs, nor about Earth turning into a dead star. So we need a deterrence that poses a real threat.”
Lin Qing couldn’t help but be stunned.
“I plan to create a ‘big guy’ truly capable of utterly destroying Earth.”
Chu Hongjun transmitted, “Not just turning it into a dead star, but to completely shatter the entire Earth, so it cannot recover. Only this way can we pose a threat to a 1.9-level civilization… And that Seventh Rank Space Fortress has the materials and components I need.”
Lin Qing was stunned.
Although the mutually assured destruction deterrence is a sound strategy, creating something capable of crushing the entire Earth?
This plan is too crazy.
No wonder Chu Hongjun was so certain Qi Lingxiao wouldn’t agree to this plan.
