Chapter 269: Chapter 175: Officially Stepping Into Interstellar

The Iwen made another warp jump.

It returned to the original military and supply base.

Still maintaining a covert state.

Although all life in this base, including the intelligent AI, has been controlled, there might be some intelligent communication programs remaining.

If we want the Daike people to send reconnaissance teams to investigate, rather than launching a full-scale invasion, then it must maintain its mystery, giving the investigation meaning. Of course, whether it’s truly effective depends on the historical changes in the future timeline to prove it.

"Initiate information blockade," Shen Shi instructed.

"Understood," Iwen replied.

In a non-curvature navigation state, blocking information isn’t as easy because just setting up information communication detection systems not far away can easily detect it. Therefore, it’s challenging to block information before an attack begins, but now it’s different. The entire base has been completely controlled, and blocking information is merely to prevent leaking the circumstances of the Iwen or even Human Civilization.

And for such matters, entrusting it directly to Iwen is more than sufficient.

Shen Shi was more concerned about the changes in the Future World.

Don’t underestimate the difference between passive resistance and active assault. If everything goes smoothly, it might be possible to extend the development time of Human Civilization by another two hundred years compared to the second future timeline, which is double the development time.

Even if those developmental trade items have not yet been brought out, this doubling of development time will undoubtedly impact the future.

And at the moment of entering the market.

Shen Shi sensed with an immediate response.

Unfortunately, there was no Consciousness Residue.

This means that even if history was altered, the change did not affect the future three thousand years later, at least it didn’t impact his transactions in this future timeline.

A bit disappointed.

After experiencing several significant leaps in Primordial Energy Mastery, Shen Shi grew somewhat impatient with the slow growth from regular training.

However, lacking such, there’s nothing he can do about it.

He directly altered his appearance and went to the information archive, where he bought the latest information library for three hundred Gold Coins.

It’s his usual practice since using Peggy’s authority too frequently could arouse suspicion.

After obtaining the information archive, Shen Shi reviewed it immediately.

It was still the same as before—"The Great Life of the Sage Saint."

He skipped the unchanged contents at the beginning and went straight to the detailed history.

Indeed!

He succeeded.

However, it did not delay for two hundred years; instead, it only postponed the war by eighty-four years because the reconnaissance fleet of the Daike people did not originate from Daike’s Mother Star but came from a Daike immigrant city near Blue Star.

This saved a considerable amount of time.

Eighty-four years indeed strengthened Human Civilization significantly but still did not bring about a decisive change to destiny.

The war remained tough.

The most significant change was perhaps the extension of "Sage Saint Shen Shi’s" life by one hundred and two years.

After all, the root cause of Shen Shi’s passing was his role as the only Master of Primordial Energy in Human Civilization, and due to his long-term involvement in high-intensity warfare, his consciousness suffered fundamental damage, which even changing bodies couldn’t restore. As long as the war persists, the fate of demise remains unchanged for the "Shen Shi" without new equipment.

However, it still gave Shen Shi a glimpse of a possibility.

"If I continue to accelerate the development of Human Civilization, could there come a day when this Sage Saint Shen Shi lives to see three thousand years later?"

Just considering this possibility stirred a slight excitement in Shen Shi’s heart.

He wasn’t worried about encountering another Shen Shi because, according to the information in Time Crystal, any other Shen Shis in the other timelines are merely his Consciousness Residues. If this Sage Saint Shen Shi truly survives until then, the most likely outcome would be—he could possess everything that his Consciousness Residue has!

Given his status in this future timeline, it’s something that can’t be obtained no matter how he trades antiques.

"Could this be the real use of Time Crystal?" Shen Shi couldn’t help but murmur to himself, "To gather the selves from various future timelines into one?"

Even though all of this is merely his speculation, if it truly is as such... then the power of Time Crystal is indeed unimaginable.

Even Shen Shi, as he is now, had to exert considerable effort to suppress this inner restlessness.

Regardless of whether the facts are as he speculated, at the very least, Shen Shi saw a glimmer of hope from the change in himself living this extra century in this future timeline.

And what he needs to do is just the same as what he’s doing now.

—To let Human Civilization and himself become stronger with all their might!

When Shen Shi withdrew from the market terminal, Iwen had already sealed the entire Daike military base, including many other civilizations’ ships, which were initially just passing by or resupplying here. They were also covered by the "Merciful Decision" attack, arranged to slowly stop.

Even if mistakenly harmed, unless there’s a powerful civilization among them, they could only consider themselves unlucky.

It was only at this moment that the Iwen and Shen Shi no longer needed to hide their forms, gradually revealing themselves.

And as they approached up close, Shen Shi once again felt the grandeur of this base.
