Chapter 199: Chapter 140 Future Soldier, Invincible in the Future!_1

The Divine Lord Civilization had already expanded its territories to unimaginable extents upon reaching the level of a level 8 civilization.

Within the boundless stellar domains, the Divine Lords led countless divine servants, ruling over endless living beings.

The territories of different Divine Lords are known as Divine Realms, each with a different name.

Among them, the [Central Divine Realm] is the origin of the Divine Lord Civilization and holds an exceptionally significant meaning.

This place is not only where all the divine prodigies grow and reside.

It is also home to the [Resurrection Device], the most core and secretive area of the civilization.

Above a hidden star, an enigmatic device was activated.

Countless lights converged, sculpting a perfect, flawless body within the waters of a pool.

When the body was fully reshaped, and eyelashes trembled slightly, the youth opened his eyes, sat up from the water, and looked around.

His blank gaze slowly returned to clarity.

“Fuck, you actually killed me?”

“Ask me anything, and I’ll tell you!”

“Indeed, Fire Transmitter mecha pilots are a bunch of lunatics!”

The divine prodigy Ying Tian couldn’t help but curse.

No matter whether that mecha pilot was truly original, if only a few more seconds had passed, he could have escaped from the abyss and returned safely.

Now, great, he’d directly lost a chance at rebirth—

When a mecha pilot died in the abyss, even if resurrected by special means, the Abyss Rune would crack.

This crack would render the same method of resurrection ineffective.

Therefore, to be resurrected multiple times, a mecha pilot must use different methods.

So far, the Divine Lord Civilization has only collected seven methods that allow for resurrection in the abyss, corresponding to seven chances at rebirth.

If all are exhausted...

One can either choose to die completely.

Or use the [Right of Rebirth], traded from the Rebirth Civilization, to undergo a reincarnation.

After reincarnation, one could only retain the memory and not the mecha or the traits, which is akin to starting over after deletion of an account, a significant loss nonetheless.

More importantly, reincarnation also has a limit on the number of times.

A mecha pilot can only undergo a limited number of reincarnations; after exceeding the limit, their soul would collapse, resulting in total annihilation.

Legend has it that only the true members of the Rebirth Civilization are entitled to an unlimited number of reincarnations.

“Just walking out the door and losing a chance of rebirth, totally bad luck...”

The divine prodigy Ying Tian was feeling gloomy.

Suddenly, a beam of light appeared out of thin air before him.

Seeing this light, the divine prodigy Ying Tian’s expression became solemn, and he bowed respectfully.

“Divine Lord.”

The light vibrated slightly, and a voice entered the divine prodigy Ying Tian’s mind.

“Why did you consume a chance at rebirth?”

“I encountered a monster in the Stargazers Civilization...”

The divine prodigy Ying Tian hastily explained, recounting everything that happened in the Stargazers Civilization.

The light fell silent for a while before sending a message again.

“The civilizational distress signal limits the strength of mecha pilots, not the rank of mecha pilots.”

“If that mecha pilot truly is the original one of hope, he may not be the same as you, a 1st Rank mecha pilot.”

“It’s possible that he is a 2nd Rank or 3rd Rank mecha pilot.”

The divine prodigy Ying Tian nodded slightly.

After guessing the origin of that mecha pilot, he had indeed considered this point.

However, in order to fight for time to save his life, he purposely showed surprise and admiration, hoping to delay time and make his escape.

If he could deceive the other party into committing suicide, that would be the best outcome.

Unfortunately, the other party wasn’t that foolish.

The light flickered slightly, transmitting the message.

“The point of this situation is not his innate strength...”

“But rather, how he, with 5th Rank strength, was able to receive a distress signal intended for 4th Rank strength?”

“This breaks the rule of the Fire Transmitter traits, something even the [Primordial Fire Civilization] cannot do.”

The [Primordial Fire Civilization] is how the many Fire Transmitter civilizations refer to the original Fire Transmission civilization.

Besides, the ancient civilization that was the first to plunder fire after the Primordial Fire Civilization is the true and most powerful [Fire Plunder Civilization].

Civilizations like the Divine Lord Civilization, a level 8 civilization, can easily plunder and suppress lower civilizations.

But before those ancient civilizations, they are still newcomers and must be treated with caution and prudence.

What about Jiang Chen?

He had actually achieved the ultimate goal of these civilizations—

[Unlimited Growth]

In this situation, was there any need to start all over, abandon his homeland, and run off to join those so-called ancient civilizations?

Admittedly, those ancient civilizations were powerful now...

But Jiang Chen was a warrior of the future, invincible in the future!

Thus, the words of the divine prodigy Ying Tian carried no temptation to him.

Reincarnate to refresh potential? Reset to train a new character?

Jiang Chen aimed to clear the game on a single character. Was there a need for such hassle?

“However, the technology of the Rebirth Civilization is quite interesting.”

“Even though I don’t need it, it can still be of use to big shots like Li Xiao... maybe for resetting their attributes or something...”

“Just don’t know how the Divine Lord Civilization managed to conduct trade with the Rebirth Civilization.”

“In the Endless Abyss, aside from the traits of the Fire Transmitters, how should civilizations communicate with each other?”

“Could it be something like the ‘Purgatory level’?”

Regrettably, a few seconds were too short.

If possible, Jiang Chen would’ve liked to drain all knowledge from the divine prodigy Ying Tian before sending him back home.

As for now...

All three Fire Plunderer Civilization mecha pilots had been completely slain.

The Meteor Star Calamity had been casually dealt with by Jiang Chen, gaining him 4 points of Civilization Potential.

It was one more point compared to during the Heavenly Origin Civilization, likely related to the intensity of the calamity.

Three points of potential for 3rd Rank intensity, four points for 4th Rank.

As a kind-hearted Fire Transmitter Civilization mecha pilot,

Jiang Chen didn’t hurry to leave; instead, he returned to the city to exchange information with the Stargazers Civilization’s person of hope.

Regrettably, the Stargazers Civilization differed from the situation with the Heavenly Origin Civilization.

Back then, the legacy of the Heavenly Origin Civilization had been almost destroyed and interrupted, with the strongest mecha pilot being of 2nd Rank intensity.

For the Stargazers Civilization, the strongest mecha pilot had 3rd Rank intensity and still preserved part of the supercharged system.

The civilization was barely capable of producing Supercharge Modules and materials across the abyss.

Its legacy had not been entirely severed and still had hope for resurgence.

Jiang Chen took a tour but didn’t find much he could help with.

He merely engaged in a bit of knowledge exchange, trading Blue Star knowledge for some Stargazers magic, which was a fair trade.

Additionally...

It seemed that because of the earlier battle, his fighting style had been quite unrestrained.

Some humans from the Stargazers Civilization looked at Jiang Chen with a vague fear, apparently having been frightened.

This served as a reminder to Jiang Chen.

“When exploring the abyss, appearance isn’t very important.”

“Those abyssal monsters are fierce; I am fiercer than they are, defeating them with ease, which is no problem.”

“However, when accepting a mission to rescue a civilization, one should pay some attention to image.”

“Can’t kill the enemy and end up scaring all the hostages to death...”

Jiang Chen pondered to himself.

This issue was quite solvable.

Not all colossal lifeforms appear fearsome and repugnant.

There also exist some beings of a sacred nature, who inspire instant awe and involuntary veneration.

He could shape two forms by absorbing mecha abilities.

One for grinding monsters.

There was no need to consider appearance or form; just stacking powerful modules and abilities was all that mattered.

Strength is beauty!

The other would be for conquest.

It would possess both strength and appearance.

It could conquer the enemy’s body physically as well as the hearts of the audience.

Just like in the Steam World before, crafting a tall and radiant image that screams “good guy.”

When necessary, both forms could merge into one.

“It’s just special effects, I’m good at this!”

Jiang Chen touched the Abyss Rune, departing from the abyss.

Darkness rushed in, engulfing him.
