Chapter 420: Chapter 250: Birth of Future Line 3_2
"..." The high-ranking Gus individual fell silent.
When everything becomes clear, it also means everything becomes simple.
He was able to analyze the entire situation in this brief span of time.
And then make the best choice.
"Human civilization will become a great civilization." In the end, he could only leave this sentence before departing.
Shen Shi still casually sat in his original position.
He knew that the plan was nearing success.
This made him vaguely excited yet somewhat anxious, but under the powerful Primordial Energy, he finally leaned towards calmness.
"Only by revealing the trump card of the trading market this time can we gain a glimmer of hope. Next time, we can’t reveal the Time Crystal again." Shen Shi looked at the trade market, which had become no longer calm.
He hoped this would be the last time humanity had to submit.
Once through this hurdle, regardless of the threats ahead, human civilization would have the option to choose.
After this, the Gus people once again sent several high-ranking officials with real authority over.
And based on actual conditions, they held one negotiation after another with humans.
Shen Shi displayed great patience.
Yet, behind the scenes, his operations were exceptionally ruthless.
When the Gus people saw individuals from the Three-Day Civilization in the trade market, they finally abandoned their fantasies.
Now it wasn’t the humans who wanted to trade, but they had to find a way to get humans to escape.
As long as humans could escape without being detected, this mighty trading market could be preserved.
Moreover, the Gus were prepared to utilize their technological advantage to lay a foundation, securing their advantage.
When no other civilization could locate the weak but treasure-holding human civilization, being the only one who could find them, the Gus civilization would hold substantial advantages in the trading market competition!
However, no matter what, the Gus couldn’t imagine that from the start, Shen Shi never intended to use this device on the human civilization of the future line.
Instead, he prepared to bring it to the present.
He intended to use this device to create miracles!
As for the backdoors the Gus might have left behind? How likely is it that the backdoors left by the Gus from three thousand years in the future could have the same effect three thousand years earlier?
"Transaction successful, congratulations, humanity." When the Gus individual in front of him, with a face full of friendliness, said this, Shen Shi’s heart dropped heavily.
Rarely some excitement.
Finally got it.
After opening the trading market to these alien races, he finally obtained a set of devices that could absolutely be rated as A-level!
"In interstellar space, the most important thing is still the engine." Looking at the device already placed in his personal space, Shen Shi didn’t want to waste any more time; in fact, he didn’t care at all about the many issues still existing in the Future World and directly returned three thousand years ago!
He wanted to test the changes this device would bring to the future!
To guide human civilization onto a brand new historical path!
No matter how the future unfolds, in the current crisis, this is a solution that exceeds all expectations!
Seven hundred years have passed.
It’s been over seven hundred years since the Second Future Line was opened!
Human civilization finally has the potential to greet a new future!
"I hope it really can succeed."
Shen Shi slowly exhaled a breath, not telling anyone, including both the modern and future Iwen, and instead went alone to an unknown, remote location within the Solar System to take out the traded device directly!
At that moment, with a boom.
His entire Consciousness World seemed to be filled with the Time Crystal!
It was an indescribable feeling, where time seemed to lose all meaning in that instant to Shen Shi; he felt as if he had experienced eternity in an instant, or maybe an instant in the eternity, as the Primordial Energy World expanded rapidly, improved, comparing to the initial virtual world of his own brain, becoming increasingly more like a real world.
Until at a certain moment.
He noticed his Time Crystal disappeared.
No, to be more precise, it was completely integrated into his Primordial Energy World, merging entirely with his soul and consciousness.
This seemed to be the moment this unique device truly took effect.
And while to the outside world, a mere moment had passed, Shen Shi opened his eyes once again.
It seemed as if nothing had changed, but only he knew that everything was different.
Everything had undergone a complete upheaval!
It was not just himself but the entire human civilization!
"Time is indeed the most incredible, most formidable power in the entire world." Shen Shi looked at his hands.
At that moment, he felt he could truly control time, rather than just gently nudge it as he did in the past.
He could choose to freeze time over large areas or accelerate it.
He could even form unique temporal torrents to bring about great destructive power.
He believed that at this moment, although his personal strength might still not surpass the Pasture Master, he could potentially escape successfully in front of the Pasture Master if he exposed his Time Ability.
However, this change was not the main thing.
The bigger change was that Shen Shi realized his "Prophet" might truly be living up to its name—he could vaguely see the future.
Although still very short, only about one or two years into the future, this new ability was entirely different from his previous "Prophet" ability. Now, he could instantly discern countless possibilities of that one or two-year future and easily calculate the future he desired most!
For instance, with just a thought, he saw a future where Ai Xin’Er became pregnant again next year, and with another thought, that future and its corresponding changes all disappeared, transforming into another vastly different future!
This could be called true control over the future.
Although now it was only one or two years, as time changed, could he see longer, more detailed?
Perhaps one day, he could become a true Prophet capable of leading the entire civilization to absolute victory!
Such a change was enough to excite him.
"Indeed, the future of humanity, my future, is definitely not limited to a mere B-level civilization." Shen Shi was certain of this, and then, with some impatience, wanted to see the third future line!
Yes, just as he initially speculated, the emergence of this star-system-level engine would bring human civilization onto a path utterly different from the original.
And the enormous change brought by this new path was enough to create a brand new future line!
At this moment, Shen Shi, with a bit of the same eager anticipation as when he first entered the trading system, came to the new trade market.
This time, just upon entering, Shen Shi could feel that everything seemed different.
Firstly, his avatar.
Yes, in this future line, there was directly an avatar of Shen Shi.
An avatar more powerful and influential than Sage Saint Shen Shi of the second future line!
With just a thought, Shen Shi caused the surrounding environment to suddenly change.
He brought his consciousness into his avatar!
Just upon entering, he could feel a power.
A power far stronger than his past self.
"This feeling... is the power of time!" Shen Shi slightly waved his hand, and everything around him suddenly became still.
This left him a bit incredulous but also with greater joy.
To know, what he controlled now was indeed the avatar of the future line!
No matter how strong the avatar created by the changes in the time line was in Primordial Energy, it didn’t have the Time Crystal, yet this avatar could still wield the power of time.
What does this signify?
It signifies that the power of time is not dependent on possessing the Time Crystal, but has already become a force inherently held by Shen Shi!
