Chapter 24: Civilization Invasion War
Jiang Fan had still underestimated the power of Technology; when it developed to a certain stage, it truly might be possible to slay a god.
However, during this period, his strength also gradually increased, and breaking through to a Level 3 Star Lord was imminent.
"Constant surprises."
In the 125th year of Divine Revelation, the Dark Matter Nuclear Bomb was successfully developed, but there was no suitable testing ground, so the detonation plan was shelved.
Even though it was shelved, they continued to invest heavily in research, all overseen by Zhuo Yuanming.
My Lord said there would be calamities in the future, and if they were enemies, a sufficient arsenal would be a guarantee of safety.
In the 126th year of Divine Revelation, Earth Star officially entered a Level 1 Civilization, and with the breakthrough of civilization, Jiang Fan also officially advanced to a Level 3 Star Lord.
"Hiss! This is the power of a Level 3 Star Lord! So strong!"
With a slight perception, Jiang Fan was startled. He was still within Earth Star, and his strength was only one percent of his peak, but even so, he felt he could defeat a hundred former versions of himself.
"Star Lord Civilization enters Level 1 Civilization. Due to special circumstances, the calamity has changed, difficulty is stacked with civilization advancement assessment, calamity canceled... Civilization test begins... Assessment mission changed... Difficulty increased again..."
Jiang Fan, who had just been ecstatic, stiffened. What was going on? Could it be done this way?
At this moment, Ye Yu also understood why the rewards were so generous; it turned out this was what they were waiting for.
"Assessment mission confirmed... Difficulty SS-rank... Resist invasion by other Star Lord Level 1 Civilizations..."
Jiang Fan adjusted his state and pondered the hidden meaning of these words.
That is, he now had to contend with other civilizations. The opponent was a Level 1 Civilization, and not only that, but it might also be a Level 1 Civilization that had developed for a long time... This was not good; he had only just entered Level 1 Civilization.
"Please, Star Lord, prepare. In one year, the world connection channel will open, and random portals will appear on your Star Lord Civilization. The opponent can enter your civilization through the portals... This assessment cycle... one hundred years... Rules apply to both civilization worlds, and the time flow of both civilizations is synchronized... Civilization time flow: one hundred years equals one day in the outside world... If the Star Lord survives the hundred-year cycle and the civilization is not destroyed, the assessment is considered passed... At that time, the civilization's survival rate will be judged for scoring..."
Jiang Fan took a deep breath. The rules were set and could not be changed. He could only make full preparations.
Contending with other civilizations... He had to hide well, because once the assessment started, he couldn't leave. The civilization could be destroyed, and he could just start over. But if he died, then truly everything would be lost.
So he immediately connected his consciousness to the idol.
Divine Court.
"Buzz!"
The idol glowed again, and Zhuo Yuanming, having received the message, rushed over from elsewhere.
"My Lord, forgive me... Your worshiper is late!"
"It's alright, I know you are acting according to My command."
Jiang Fan's voice entered his ears, which made the latter breathe a sigh of relief.
"The purpose of contacting you this time is to inform you that I have perceived the time of the calamity's arrival through great divine power.
In one year, interdimensional channels will randomly appear on Earth Star, and at that time, Earth Star will face invasion from other world civilizations.
The opponent's strength is not weak. Prepare for battle and do not disappoint Me."
Jiang Fan did not say anything to discourage them.
"Yes! We will ensure the enemy comes and never returns! If they dare to covet My Lord's world, then they must also be prepared for their own destruction!"
Zhuo Yuanming's eyes showed murderous intent.
"Hmm, good, that's the spirit. If you truly lead the Human Race to destroy the opponent's world, then I shall bestow upon you the promised item—the Method of Immortality!"
"Thank you for My Lord's grace!"
Zhuo Yuanming's face was ecstatic, his eyes filled with fervent devotion. He didn't think this was Jiang Fan giving him false hope, because a god would not lie, nor would he deign to lie!
Jiang Fan:..."Ahem... good, go now, I should also leave."
Jiang Fan's consciousness withdrew.
"Farewell, My Lord!"
...Under Jiang Fan's notification, all of the Human Race began to arm themselves.
The next day, news was everywhere on television.
"My Lord has delivered a divine oracle! In one year, other civilizations will invade our world! What should you do?"
The host held a microphone and spoke to the crowd below the stage.
"Kill! Kill! Kill!"
"They dare to invade our civilization! Do you say we should just let it go?!"
"No!"
"No!"
"Fight back!"
"Fight back!"
...For a time, public indignation flared, and the anger of the entire Human Race was ignited. One by one, they voluntarily enlisted, ready to invade the enemy's world.
Many researchers began to work day and night, intensifying their studies. Although they wouldn't go to the battlefield, the weapons held by the Human Race were their contribution.
Under the influence of the SS-rank item card, the Human Race's Technology experienced explosive growth again within this year.
In the 127th year of Divine Revelation, the interdimensional invasion began, and huge portals appeared in various places around the world.
The Human Race, already prepared, immediately dispatched troops to suppress them...
"Hahaha! Is this the world we are invading? It's too weak! Can this even be considered a Level 1 Civilization?"
Large numbers of green monsters emerged from the portals. They looked at the Human Race with disappointment in their eyes. Too weak, he felt that with a gentle poke of his finger, the opponent would die.
"Barus, don't be careless. My God said the opponent is a Level 1 Civilization. This is our second invasion. Don't mess things up like with the last world, or even if My God spares you, I won't!"
"Tsk! Who knew they had a trump card last time? A dignified God of Creation actually hid in the shadows to ambush us. Luckily, My God discovered it in time and severely wounded the opponent."
Barus pouted, a look of annoyance on his face when he spoke of it.
"Heh, gods are different from gods. He is just a rat in a gutter, not a god. Only My God is the greatest deity!"
Barus sneered.
"Alright, that's enough idle talk. It's time to begin our slaughter!"
"Children! Leave no blade of grass where you pass! For the glorious conquest of My God!"
"Woo—!!!"
The horn blew, and the green army began its charge.
The Human Race had already observed their movements via satellite.
Looking at the live broadcast on the virtual screen, Zhuo Yuanming pondered, "This must be the civilization from another world that My Lord spoke of, but their appearance is truly ugly."
"Great Priest... could they just be cannon fodder? Look, the weapons they're holding are just wooden sticks and hammers. Their civilization level seems very primitive..."
The others exchanged glances. They had expected a clash of Technology, but seeing the enemy charging with sticks and hammers made it somewhat incomprehensible. Hadn't My God said the opponent was also a Level 1 Civilization?
"Don't be careless!"
Zhuo Yuanming warned, "Since the weapons they use are very primitive, it means their mysterious power has reached the level of a Level 1 Civilization. First, locate all the portals and give them a nuclear bomb baptism."
"Nuclear bombs?!"
The people below were shocked.
