Chapter 1087: Chapter 147 You Can Call Me [Pioneer] (8500)_4

The Earth civilization and the Terra pre-epoch civilization are both civilizations built upon ‘everyone’… every person contributes to the civilization, every person is a part of the civilization, they are all the strength of the civilization.

Such a civilization is relatively equal and more adept at cooperating to overcome challenges. However, a civilization cannot be perfect. This collective civilization, facing the relentless extraterrestrial fireseed creature invasions that cause massive destruction and casualties each time, even if victorious, severely damages its own potential.

The death of a person is very important to such a civilization.

Therefore, for survival and continuity… when confronted with the endless interstellar invasion war during the Lost Epoch, Terra civilization could only choose to step onto another uncertain path that ensured survival.

The path of a Sublimated Civilization.

Perhaps it was the enlightenment brought by the super life of the spark, or maybe it was a kind of origin shared by both sides.

The initial Sublimators may have been created according to the fireseed model of ‘one person equals a civilization’… this is quite similar to the existence of True Dragons, so within the inheritance of the Fifth Energy Level, a considerable part is various forms of True Dragons.

This might also be some kind of ‘cooperation’ between True Dragons and pre-epoch civilizations—True Dragons providing power to the pre-epoch civilization, while the pre-epoch civilization needed to offer another kind of dedication to the True Dragons.

In short.

In the sublimated civilization, all individuals are both the descendants and the nourishment of the ultimate sublimators. The strong ones created by such a civilization can handle catastrophes capable of destroying civilizations single-handedly, defeat formidable enemies several times, and even acquire the necessary repair materials from the enemies, unlike humans who, once dead, are just dead, requiring the re-education of a new individual of such complexity.

Just like the present-day Terra Continent—where the Four Great Orthodox Churches and various nations joined forces to suppress countless outer deities and alien fireseeds, devouring the powers of these entities and converting them into the strength of humans themselves.

The power of the strong ones.

“The Heterogenous Research Institute’s Director ‘Pioneer’… perhaps it was he who developed the Magic Potion system, the cornerstone of modern Terra Ascendants, thus becoming recognized as a Pioneer by the core chip civilization.”

Ian realized within himself: “His research saved Terra civilization. But the existence of the sublimated civilization in turn led to self-restraint… because of the existence of the strong ones, the current Terra is stagnant, and the conflicts and contradictions between nations cannot lead all living beings towards peace.”

“But the Arcane Pathway I developed can solve, or rather, has the hope of solving these issues.”

“Therefore, I am also recognized as a Pioneer.”

Ian doesn’t believe that he is necessarily someone who can save everything, solving all problems. But he believes he can open a door in a pitch-black house.

That’s enough.

“War.”

After thinking for a while, Ian asked Master Gravie: “Did the extraterrestrial gods wage war with humans?”

“No.”

The red-haired elf shook his head. Although he didn’t know why Ian asked this question first, he explained in detail to Ian: “After the outer gods arrived on Terra, most of them would begin their erosion and conversion of our world… our ancestors had no choice but to wage war against Them.”

“However, some possessed wisdom and understanding of our civilization, choosing to communicate with us. They did not become our enemies and even became a part of us.”

“The tree people of Canaan Moore, the spirit clan of Yanjiang, those ancient tribe inheritors of the Nine Cold Quiet Mountains, even among your Imperial People, there are those who possess the blood of the far-off Firmament. They are everywhere, they are humans now, they are no longer sparks but are blazing fires intertwined with us.”

As he spoke, the Bio-Alchemy Master smiled warmly at Ian: “Of course, it is not without a cost.”

“Aberrations. The threat all Sublimators face is a result of this cost.”

“Aberrations…”

Ian mused: “I see. But the public’s explanation is not wrong either—the blood of many Magical Beasts mingled together and eventually contaminated the human gene pool.”

“However, originally, many Magical Beasts were the primitive bodies left behind by those aliens after losing their wisdom… akin to the follower clan of the lifeladder tree, if they had wisdom, they would be a branch of the tree people; if not, they would be Magical Beasts hunted by us.”

“Indeed so.” Master Gravie sighed: “The truth was never concealed, only the method of interpretation is in the hands of the few— the same thing can show very different meanings, that’s the most absurd yet most real lie.”

“But I am still puzzled.”

Ian frowned, his perspective always unique, pinpointing the most critical issues: “The reason these outer gods descended on Terra was for the propagation of their species and civilization. They should actually engage in communication because everyone knows if they descend on a planet with an advanced civilization and recklessly proliferate, they will certainly be exterminated.”

“Indeed, it is true. Many outer gods were exterminated, their sparks became the fragments in your box, the spoils of war for us humans. But it shouldn’t be this way, I don’t believe the wise ones of other civilizations couldn’t foresee this possibility, as fireseeds prioritizing continuation, they couldn’t possibly not engage in communication.”
