Chapter 279: Chapter 180: Humanity’s Greatest Weakness
Even the Didike just now was exuding emotions filled with a sense of decay and strong disbelief at this moment.
Was it really humans who so easily defeated the Daike People?
The most ignorant, weak, and pathetic indigenous civilization, which could be effortlessly obliterated, actually possessed such Primordial Energy Mastery?
However, this couldn’t be faked.
And there was no need to fake it.
As captives, deceiving them was the easiest task, and such deception would hold no meaning.
But how could humans possibly possess such strength?
As a Daike person, Didike had undergone biological modification, and his brain’s computational ability even surpassed a photonic brain, let alone his not insignificant Primordial Energy Mastery. Yet even so, he couldn’t make a reasonable guess at this moment.
If other civilizations interfered, equipment could be acquired, technology obtained, but Primordial Energy Mastery was something that couldn’t be achieved in one leap.
However, apart from the Didike, the others didn’t have such complex thoughts.
They only knew that the Daike Civilization’s base had been easily conquered.
The civilization appearing before them was one that could easily conquer the Daike Civilization’s base!
So they panicked, and they revered.
Shen Shi roughly surveyed the area and also gained a basic understanding of the atmosphere within this interstellar space.
Just as previously felt.
The ordinary races, the lower-tier races within this interstellar space, were not as humans had previously believed, with advanced, wise civilizations, possessing powerful technology and developed, enjoyful dominance and confidence... They remained at the bottom, remained humble, perhaps even more so in terms of dignity than the homeless on Blue Star.
Of course, not everyone was like this.
Shen Shi manipulated slightly, and instantly, all those anxious "bubbles" were concealed, leaving only a slightly calm surface.
Among which, a significant portion was Daike people.
Perhaps, only the Daike people in this Star Domain could genuinely possess the pride of a "powerful civilization."
No matter how likely it would be for them to be made into Primordial Energy Batteries, they refused to fear.
Fear, in fact, was the interstellar society’s way of admitting defeat with a bowed head.
But Shen Shi wouldn’t let them have their wish.
Humans were going to develop by stepping over the Daike People.
"Daike people... are no longer qualified to be the overlords of this Star Domain." Shen Shi conveyed this intent clearly and simply to the remaining people before him, yet with immense confidence!
Primordial Energy indeed facilitated communication immensely.
So much so that Shen Shi didn’t need to say much.
Just this sheer, intense confidence was enough to prevent all the Daike people from staying calm.
What did this mean?
It meant that this entity before them, daring to launch a reckless attack against their Daike Civilization, had the confidence to defeat the entire Daike Civilization!
"Daike, are the true overlords; ignorant humans simply do not understand Daike’s strength." Didike rushed to the edge of the bubble, powerful emotions surging out one after another. Familiar with his own prison, he also understood that his emotions could likewise be perceived by the other party.
But he did not know.
At this moment, it wasn’t only Shen Shi who felt his emotions.
Even others did.
Shen Shi, to an extent, allowed others to perceive this.
After all, to develop by stepping over Daike, leveraging Daike’s reputation, other civilizations must know.
So, in the face of Didike’s strong consciousness, Shen Shi felt rather delighted in his heart.
Because this was exactly what he wanted.
"No, I do understand." He said, "The Daike Civilization became a C-level Civilization 1,300 years ago, with the maximum development range of the Jump Engine being forty-two light-years, and teleportation weapons have already entered the experimental stage. They can be practical in at most two hundred years, and although you appear to be more proficient in biological technology, you use it primarily to enhance the development of Primordial Energy Technology. At present, there are publicly twenty-one Masters of Primordial Energy within your civilization, but in reality, there should be twenty-seven. Now, do you still think we do not understand the Daike Civilization?"
"..."
Didike was speechless.
His eyes, resembling those of a lizard or snake, kept contracting.
Forcibly controlling his emotions.
But the next moment, the surrounding cages harshly intensified the stimulation of his emotions.
Thus, all the prisoners felt this Daike person’s fear.
Yes, intense fear! Fear of the crisis his civilization was about to face!
Their inner surprise was indescribable.
Because this indicated that the representative of this newly emerged species before them was correct.
Despite clearly understanding Daike’s strength, they still had such confidence to pull the Daike Civilization off the throne.
What did this show?
It showed that this civilization was indeed stronger than the Daike people!
At least that’s how he saw it himself!
Yes, in interstellar society, showcasing strength was simply that straightforward.
Because under certain circumstances, Primordial Energy was the embodiment of will and cognition, a voice conveying intent, so when Shen Shi clearly knew the Daike strength, yet still possessed confidence, then this confidence was real, derived from strength.
At this moment, Didike seemed to have grasped what the human before him was doing.
His emotions continued to ripple intensely, conveying the last consciousness.
