Chapter 397 The Land Where Civilizations Are Born
Xiao Weiqing began to observe his five opponents.
Five figures, from left to right.
The first one was a young man whose appearance was not much different from that of a human from Earth. He had a mixed-race look and was also taller, nearly two meters tall.
The second one, which Xiao Weiqing was very familiar with, was the demon race, a type of lizard with a beast-like face and a human body, exceeding three meters in size.
The third figure was a mechanical life form, with a very high-tech feel to its body. It was in the form of a beast, a winged... pig?
The fourth and fifth are both in human form, but they differ from the first youth.
Xiao Weiqing did not rush to make a choice.
"Senior, could you please tell me about this place?"
The old man said, "That's fine."
"We belong to one of the subordinate civilizations of the Mingling Civilization—the Kuhn Civilization."
"The Kuhn Civilization, a subordinate civilization of the Mingling Civilization?"
The old man explained, "The Mingling Civilization is a Level 4 civilization, while our Kuhn Civilization is a Level 2 civilization."
"The Kuhn civilization perished millions of years ago, and part of its trial grounds were placed in this world. This place is called Yin-Yang Twin Mountains, where divine fire resides, as you already know."
"If you pass the three trials, you will have a chance to obtain the divine fire."
Xiao Weiqing asked, "Senior, I've heard that our world is the cradle of the Fifth Universe Civilization. What does that mean?"
"Oh?"
The old man asked curiously, "Whom did you hear this from?"
"That's what a maid from the Ona family said."
"The Oner family?"
The old man shook his head slightly. "We can't determine which cosmic civilization they belong to just from their family name."
"However, you are right, your world is indeed the cradle of the fifth universe civilization."
Xiao Weiqing then asked, "Senior, what kind of civilization is the Fifth Universe Civilization? Are there also First and Second Universe Civilizations?"
"And what is the land of gestation?"
The old man explained, "The Fifth Universe Civilization is a general term, not a single civilization. Since there is a Fifth Universe Civilization, there must also be First and Second Universe Civilizations."
"As for the birthplace, simply put, it is the base for cultivating civilization."
"You need to know that the universe is vast and boundless, with countless planets, but the probability of life arising is still extremely small."
"It is even more difficult for a life-bearing planet to develop into a Type I civilization and then join the family of cosmic civilizations."
Xiao Weiqing nodded, agreeing with this view. At least in the old era, Blue Star had never discovered other civilizations. Now it seems that this was not only due to the place of origin, but also because Blue Star was pitifully weak in both technology and extraordinary cultivation.
They had no contact with other civilizations.
Technology is still relatively advanced; various probes have at least left the Blue Planet, so it can barely be considered in its infancy.
However, in terms of cultivation, it's not even an embryo.
The old man continued, "For the sake of the development of cosmic civilization, the higher-ups of the Fifth Cosmic Civilization have decided to intervene in the development of planets with life and promote the formation of civilization."
"Your planet Earth is one of them."
"one?"
"So, there are many civilizations like ours?"
"Of course, there are a lot, tens of thousands, too many to count. The exact number is probably only known to the higher-ups of the Fifth Civilization."
"After our Kuhn civilization was defeated and destroyed, the higher-ups of the Fifth Universe Civilization, adhering to the principle of making the most of resources, placed some trial grounds containing treasures into the gestation grounds in order to accelerate the development of civilizations like yours."
Xiao Weiqing listened quietly.
For some reason, hearing this made me feel a little lost. It turns out that everything on Earth really was arranged.
Blue Star is like a lost land. Humans thought they had conquered Blue Star and have been searching for other civilizations. They even once believed that Blue Star was the only planet in the universe with life.
But unexpectedly.
It turns out that Earth has never had internet access.
"Then, senior, how do we on Earth determine if a cultivation is successful?"
The old man replied, "We have successfully conceived a star-level creature."
"Star Lord?"
"Hmm, not bad."
Xiao Weiqing shook his head, "It's too difficult."
Breaking through to the Star Lord realm is no easy feat. Even the extraordinary cultivators of Blue Star cannot see the path to becoming a Star Lord. Although Xiao Weiqing believes he may eventually reach the Star Lord realm, he has no idea how long it will take.
Who knows, one day the demon race might invade Blue Star, and before he can cultivate into a star lord, he will be killed by a demon race demigod.
The old man frowned and said, "You humans from Earth are indeed not very capable. In all these years, only two people, including you, have come here."
"Normally, in the nurturing ground, a life form would definitely cultivate to the star level within 100,000 years. But it has been a million years since you entered this place, and seventy years have passed. That girl has not come back, and she probably hasn't broken through to the star level either."
"Alas, our Kuhn civilization is doomed to be bound to you."
Xiao Weiqing disagreed and retorted, "Senior, that's a biased view. We humans on Blue Star have only a history of five thousand years, and we've only been cultivating for a hundred years. Coupled with internal and external troubles, we're already very fortunate not to have been wiped out."
Perhaps in a few years, or even decades, the Blue Star civilization will be gone. But Xiao Weiqing stopped himself from saying it, afraid that the remains of Civilization No. 9 would be lost.
Since it's bound, it might be possible to unbind it.
"What do you mean?"
"Five thousand years of history? A hundred years of cultivation?"
Xiao Weiqing nodded affirmatively, "Yes, spiritual energy only appeared on our planet Blue Star a hundred years ago, and then we on Blue Star began to cultivate and step into the extraordinary realm."
"impossible!"
The old man said sternly.
"Everything in the Land of Incubation was planned out. It's impossible for it to have taken so long. Something must have gone wrong. Otherwise, the Transcendent Cultivation program wouldn't have only been launched a hundred years ago."
Xiao Weiqing said, "But that's the truth."
After a moment of silence, the old man said, "You'll have to figure this out yourselves; I can't help you with that."
Choose your opponent.
"An outsider participated in the trial yesterday. If he succeeds, your chances of obtaining the divine fire will be extremely slim."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Weiqing became somewhat anxious, "Wait, isn't this the birthplace of our Blue Star?"
"How can you allow outsiders to enter our trial, senior?"
The old man said, "There is no rule that outsiders cannot participate in the trial. Whether they are human or of another race, at most humans are given priority and some preferential treatment. For example, if you ask me, I will tell you everything I can."
"Hurry up, that person has already passed the first trial and is currently stuck on the second trial, but he could pass it at any time."
Xiao Weiqing's heart tightened; the old man must be referring to Onaya Fang.
"Choose. I can see that you are very strong, much stronger than that woman from seventy years ago. Passing the test shouldn't be difficult. I hope you can pass the trial before that person next door."
As the guardian of the ruins of the Kuhn civilization, he hoped that Xiao Weiqing could obtain the divine fire and break through to the Star Lord level. In this way, their Kuhn civilization could be credited with a contribution, and the restoration of their civilization in the future would not be impossible.
Think for a moment.
Xiao Weiqing no longer hesitated, pointing to the demon figure and saying, "Senior, I choose it as my opponent."
"it is good."
