Chapter 452: Chapter 266: Truly Stepping Onto the Stage_2
About forty years later, a powerful fleet flying the banner of the Pirate Alliance launched a surprise attack on the mother star region of another B9-level civilization.
According to Ma’er’s intelligence, this civilization had also moved its mother star to the front line, leaving behind many devices that could not be transported for the time being. During this direct assault, these devices fell back into human hands.
Another thirty years passed, and the Pirate Alliance divided into two forces, launching an attack on two B9-level civilizations.
The snowball had started rolling.
Since the attack on the Es Civilization’s Mother Star Region hundreds of years ago, the reputation of the Pirate Alliance echoed throughout the Mude System. Even the front lines had a force ready to return and encircle the Pirate Alliance. After attacking the mother star regions of twelve B9-level civilizations, the Pirate Alliance seemed to have realized the impending danger, disappearing without a trace in a short time.
This was a full retreat!
Returning again to this logistics base, its scale was entirely different.
In sight, were massive production factories like planets everywhere, with little transportation visible. All raw materials were directly inputted through personal terminals, minimizing time and maximizing efficiency. Even the production lines for Primordial Energy Devices of the Three-Day Civilization were plundered, including billions of Three-Day People working diligently as laborers.
At this moment, human civilization was still only at B4 level, but its true strength was already approaching B9 level!
Given enough development time, even in direct warfare, entities like the Es Civilization could not be allowed!
Even Shen Shi, looking at the intelligence compiled after centuries of plundering, could hardly suppress his excitement.
Finally reached this step.
Though development still required a long period, though the current strength was fragile, strength is strength, and it achieved this level thousands of years earlier than he expected!
"We, finally have the qualification to truly step onto the stage of this cosmos." Shen Shi muttered.
Yes, only with such strength, is one qualified to step onto the interstellar stage, qualified to step into the vortex of the cosmos.
Even if this only happened in a future timeline, it was still a moment worth remembering for human civilization.
The next step is consolidation.
Shen Shi did not bring a large number of devices from this future timeline to three thousand years ago because it was unnecessary; the benefits of timeline shifts had already been mostly maxed out. Even if more were brought in, it would merely change the siege war initiated hundreds of years back to an independent occupation of the Es Civilization’s mother star region by human civilization.
Further changes were difficult to achieve.
Even using a large amount of equipment to quickly arm three thousand years ago could not make significant changes to the future timeline because the crucial opportunity in this future line came from the fierce war between the Thousand Alliance and Mude Interstellar System. Until the time point of this opportunity arrived, gaining strength in advance did not help.
Unless the strength of human civilization three thousand years ago could be elevated to A-level in advance.
But this was almost impossible at that time.
Even B9-level strength was not truly their own.
When civilization develops to this degree, the significance of time continually weaves, but three thousand years is nothing more than a fleeting moment, unable to accomplish much.
At present, merely integrating these combat supplies and digesting these resources to form maximum combat power in the shortest time required at least several hundred years.
Over these hundreds of years, Shen Shi planned to do nothing else, nor could he.
He needed this time to truly arm human civilization to a B9-level.
"Next comes a period of quiet accumulation." Shen Shi took one last glance at the vast "factory base" before him, letting his emotions settle.
Time flew by.
In the blink of an eye, it was the year 5112 of the Starry Era in the third future timeline.
For hundreds of years, Shen Shi remained mostly in the third future lane, occasionally guiding three thousand years ago human civilization to avoid small mistakes, otherwise visiting the second future timeline more often.
But he did not do much.
At this moment in the second future timeline, the form of human civilization had completely stagnated.
As the war between the Mude System and the Thousand Alliance System progressed, the importance of the Holy Land held by human civilization was becoming increasingly prominent, leading to a prevailing theory within the Mude System that this supremely powerful relic could possibly be the key device for the Mude System’s victory in the war!
This theory made sense.
Especially when civilizations like the Es discovered that the range of this device could directly connect the front lines and the rear.
Knowing that if they could truly master this thing, they wouldn’t need to relocate the mother star, and they could concentrate greater forces at one point in the shortest time, expand the advantage by capturing the leap advantage.
They are already more powerful in high-level forces than the Thousand Alliance.
Therefore, realizing that as the number of primitive humans decreased, the number of personal terminals for this relic device dropped significantly, civilizations even halted further assimilation of humans.
This allowed human civilization to retain at least one-tenth of its population over nearly a thousand years, even starting to rapidly recover, soon restoring to two-tenths of what it was a thousand years ago.
And that was why Shen Shi did not do more.
He continued to support human civilization comprehensively under the mysterious identity of the "Thirteenth", successfully gaining the gratitude of most humans, but did not overstep. After all, human civilization was clearly holding on at the moment, and deliberate actions might put them at risk.
However, recently, Shen Shi had to increase his attention to the second future timeline.
The reason was simple.
According to intelligence from the "ally" Three-Day Civilization, an A-level civilization force was withdrawing from the front lines and heading straight towards the Solar System!
"Starlight Civilization." Shen Shi murmured the name of this civilization.
This was clearly an adapted name; the glow of the stars, just a name alone seemed to convey the power of this civilization.
A-level civilization, the most powerful in the Mude System, as for the specifics about the Pasture Master, no one knew, but half of these three A-level civilizations’ strength had been glimpsed in the records of these B9-level civilizations.
These three A-level civilizations were established along with the Mude System. Based on historical records from these B9-level civilizations, roughly 550,000 years ago, three powerful civilizations emerged in this star system, with no concept of an Interstellar Social System then, they did not bind other weaker civilizations but rather developed independently, maintaining absolute power.
Until they began to interact.
Everything changed.
Each other’s strengths posed significant threats, and war seemed the only option. It was a war between three vast civilizations. Records showed that even then, they were rulers of a star system, possessing at least the strength judged today as B-level civilization.
The subsequent history became unclear.
Even Shen Shi, who captured numerous devices and populations from twelve B9-level civilizations in the third future timeline, couldn’t find historical information on what followed.
He only knew that afterward the Pasture Master emerged suddenly, uniting the three civilizations, then established the Mude System, seeming from that moment on to become the dominator of the cosmos, continuing until discovering the Thousand Alliance System more than ten thousand years later.
