Chapter 421: Chapter 251: The Situation Has Completely Opened


This change also proves that the Time Crystal is indeed a Life Evolution Device, fundamentally transforming life itself, rather than being just a functional instrument used!


Shen Shi could easily perceive the benefits it brings.


Because it enhances the strength of the avatar!


With the increasing power of Human Civilization, the brief span of three thousand years will no longer present an overwhelming disparity like at the beginning. An important factor influencing human civilization’s development process lies in the strength of Shen Shi’s avatar born after splitting off from the timeline.


The avatar cannot use the Time Crystal, and previously was merely an ordinary Master of Primordial Energy, unable to even grasp the future trade matters, much less employ the half-baked "Prophet" abilities.


This led to the fluctuating status of Sage Saint Shen Shi.


Having the title of Sage Saint in name only, yet unable to determine the course of human civilization’s development.


But now it’s different.


Shen Shi can already see that, with the increase in strength, Sage Saint Shen Shi’s prophetic abilities grow increasingly formidable, truly becoming a "Prophet" who can guide Human Civilization forward.


This will make future human civilization even stronger.


Then further feedback into the past, and again into the future.


"The potential of one who controls time should be infinite," Shen Shi slowly exhales, getting accustomed to the immense power within his current body.


What surprises him somewhat is that he’s still in his original room.


Not much different from three thousand years ago, or even the Sage Saint’s residence in the second future line.


A slight smile crosses his eyes.


It seems that after all these years, he has transformed from a curious young man about new things into an elderly man who likes nostalgia.


Of course, while his thoughts are flowing, he already understands through the memories surfaced from the future Shen Shi, that although this place superficially resembles his past residence, in reality, whether in terms of technological content or territorial size, it has become completely different.


Indeed, he is still on Blue Star.


But the current Blue Star, compared to three thousand years ago, has expanded in size hundreds-fold.


"It truly has undergone comprehensive transformation."


Shen Shi recalls everything that happened in the memories.


When he returned with the Star System Teleportation System from Gus Land, fate changed. Human Civilization unhesitatingly used this immensely powerful device, covering the star system fortress created by humanity along with the entire Solar System within an enormous curvature bubble.


Then they ran.


Yes, avoiding fate directly with Es Civilization was impossible, but three thousand years ago, Human Civilization was yet to come under Es Civilization’s spotlight, allowing for that slim chance of escape.


Additionally, with Shen Shi’s avatar strength as a Prophet growing over time, Human Civilization astonishingly avoided some crises, spending four hundred years successfully leaving the Milky Way Galaxy, starting a never-ending journey among star system wildernesses.


Away from the Mude System, away from all strong persons, fully exhausting all technologies and devices brought by Shen Shi.


However, this development lasted only briefly for seven hundred years.


That is about two thousand years after the Starry Era opened.


Shen Shi’s avatar realized that under such circumstances, Human Civilization’s development speed paled compared to the second future line.


Even with advanced technology as a foundation, lacking the support from Es Civilization and sufficient resources, Human Civilization’s capacity to assimilate this technology surprisingly decreased.


Thus, after attaining C9 Level power, Human Civilization utilized the strength of the powerful Relic "Trade Market," deploying some forces to make a return voyage. As outsiders to the Mude System, they engaged in continuous trade and even plunder within the Mude System.


If Gus Land invited other civilizations, then at this time, Human Civilization formed caravans to other civilizations to acquire developmental resources.


Especially Gus Land.


Serving as a significant foundational element for Human Civilization’s development.


In the subsequent twelve hundred years, Human Civilization entered a period of rapid development.


Yet, during the last seven hundred years, as Human Civilization approached B-level power, it eventually attracted the attention of the Mude System.


They allow Gus Land’s existence because Gus Land has nearly A-level strength and possesses unknown secrets, but Human Civilization is different, lacking such power—notably when the Mude System detected Human Civilization’s original location from the Daike Civilization’s activities, affirming huge benefits upon Human Civilization.


A G-level Civilization from the Earth Star Period, in less than four thousand years, advancing to near B-level status—behind such a miracle, resources involved are unmistakably present.


This Human Civilization in the third future line finds itself amidst being surrounded by most forces within the Mude System.


Of course, the entire Solar System has hidden amidst the vast wilderness of the star system over this long period. Shen Shi’s plan has succeeded halfway; Human Civilization ultimately escaped the Mude System, yet at this point, has virtually lost developmental potential.
