Chapter 706 389: Intelligence Summary_2

However, this force still chose a more intricate path.

For such a force that can freely traverse the All Heavens World, it is evident that they are exposed to Extraordinary Rules.

"This seems somewhat similar to the apocalypse forces in the world we were in during the last lifetime." Shen Yu looked at Main Body Shen Yu again.

That's right, the world where Main Body Shen Yu resides also experienced a doomsday crisis due to a force that rejected the Extraordinary.

However, the level of both sides differs greatly.

Moreover, the reason why the civilization of the Primordial World rejects the Extraordinary is merely because Extraordinary Power significantly reduces the traits of a civilization while enhancing the self, but this defect can be altered by a sufficiently strong leader.

Nowadays, the Association World is predominantly an Extraordinary Civilization.

Yet this does not affect the characteristics of civilization whatsoever, nor does it impede the development of civilization.

In theory, a force like "Source" cannot be unaware of this fact.

Shen Yu swiftly scanned through the document, only to find that it did not mention the reason "Source" intends to annihilate all civilizations.

Such crucial intelligence, even if there is the slightest clue, should be listed.

Yet, the absence in the document can only mean not even the slightest clue is present.

Shen Yu posed the question.

"Indeed, we have not found any intelligence related to this," interstellar Shen Yu said, "The core reason is we discovered that the combat units dispatched by 'Source' in this war are likely similar to roles like 'Biochemical People', and it is highly probable they do not possess independent consciousness."

All Shen Yu frowned slightly.

Biochemical People, such beings are already obsolete within the current Association.

Because they carry a massive flaw.

Which is falling into confusion regarding self-awareness.

This is not much of a problem at lower levels of cultivation stages, but at higher levels, it poses a significant dilemma.

After all, Extraordinary Power and the self, and soul, and consciousness, are all closely interconnected.

Unless, they are like naturally born children, growing step by step from infancy to maturity.

However, such an increase in cost renders it less meaningful than natural birth.

Moreover, many high-level Extraordinary individuals often give birth to highly gifted offspring, which Biochemical People cannot compare to.

Yet, a powerful civilization like "Source" still chose Biochemical People?

"Actually, using Biochemical People as soldiers is not surprising for 'Source'," interstellar Shen Yu seemed to guess what some people were thinking, he added, "After all, 'Source' is essentially a technological civilization; the power it possesses, including technology, does not depend much on Extraordinary Traits, and to reduce vulnerabilities, it makes sense to equip soldiers like Biochemical People, who have a certain degree of autonomous thought and are absolutely loyal, with various gear—in essence, even if defeated and captured in war, the enemy gains nothing."

Indeed, not just the enemy, even those cleaning up the battlefield, would gain nothing.

If they truly were just a bunch of mortals, even technologically enhanced mortals, after such a long era, nothing would be left.

Everyone could only remain silent.

Without knowing the true purpose behind "Source" instigating the war, many matters are like seeing flowers in the fog, unable to be determined.

Making it even harder to decide on actions.

"Our Association's technology has rapidly advanced over the years," Shen Yu looked at interstellar Shen Yu, "From our perception, the sheer level of technology is now beyond what we could have imagined four thousand years ago, but we need more concrete data; according to your assessment, what position would we hold in this war if we participate?"

The current Association is certainly not the same as when they first discovered this battleground world over four thousand years ago.

This four thousand years has been continuous and substantial in obtaining Gray Mist.

Along with these remnants, the difficulty in acquiring technology has dramatically reduced.

The speed of development during this period is thus foreseeable.

Moreover, with the Resource World in play, along with ample Gray Mist and powerful technology, the Association's development in the Extraordinary Domain has reached a remarkably high level during this time.

Judging solely by the feelings of many Shen Yu themselves.

If the current Association were to war against the previous one, it would probably be a crush in an instant!

This reveals the speed of the Association's development over these thousands of years.

So, being as formidable as this, in this epic war that occurred long ago, to what level could the Association reach?

"Roughly in the upper-middle ranking among twenty-one ordinary All Heavens Forces," interstellar Shen Yu clearly had already simulated this, "If we include the Gray Mist Space, especially our stockpile of Gray Mist, then it could reach among the more powerful levels, but compared to the five major forces in the anti-Source coalition, we still lack a critical factor—a Thirteenth Stage power."

Just from saying this, everyone instantly formed concepts in their minds.

Lacking Thirteenth Stage power indeed means missing the most crucial standard.

However, this also made some people grimace.

In the past, for any stage, breaking through was merely a matter of having enough Gray Mist.

However, this time it's different.

In these thousands of years, all Shen Yu, in terms of Realm and Power, have notably enhanced.

By now, over eighty percent of Shen Yu could individually defeat the former Great Wind Emperor.

And the core Shen Yu could easily beat, or even instantly kill the opponent.

To say they've reached an exceedingly high level in the Twelfth Stage.

But they still can't find any way to reach the Thirteenth Stage.

Even the omnipotent Gray Mist seems incapable of helping in this process.

It doesn't directly show impossibilities, rather the amount of Gray Mist required is astoundingly astronomical.

A figure that seems hopeless to attain in a short time.

Even at the current pace at which the Association acquires Gray Mist, it might take "billions of years" before there's any chance.

Billions of years!

The Association has only developed for tens of thousands of years.

With such a development speed, imagining developments on a billion-year timeline is challenging.

Evidently impossible to wait for such a long age just to use Gray Mist to complete this transition.

"Actually, as our strength grows, we have some speculations about the next stage." Shen Yu suddenly spoke, drawing everyone's attention.

Even though no correct pathways have been found, reasonable speculation is still possible.

"Firstly, we have not felt the limit of the Twelfth Stage," Shen Yu said, "This stage seems to have an endless accumulation direction, allowing 'quantity' to build up to an infinite extent."

This made numerous Shen Yu narrow their eyes.

Indeed, they too have such a sensation.

In previous stages, once enhanced to a certain extent, a bottleneck would be encountered.

Unable to enhance further.

To enhance, one must break through the bottleneck.

However, this current stage lacks that sensation.

It's as if the level of life can be enhanced infinitely!

But this is akin to within an infinitely large universe, a star endlessly expanding, even devouring the entire universe, continuously expanding in unlimited space, yet forever unable to break through the universe's barrier.

"I speculate the Thirteenth Stage may not be a process of accumulation, but requires some path, some direction, or we could say, rather than a straightforward avenue, it's a new Realm created by treading a different path!" Shen Yu shared his hypothesis.
