Chapter 198: Chapter 139 Fire Transmission, Fire Plunder, Soul Plunder, Reincarnation – All Evil!_3
The words of the divine prodigy Ying Tian were full of resentment.
Fighting a 4th Rank match with 5th Rank strength?
You really deserve to die!
Jiang Chen controlled the Divine Soul Mecha, his eyes flickering slightly.
The reason he had saved Ying Tian for last and hadn’t killed him directly was precisely that he wanted to take the opportunity to ask some questions—
This evil little Fire Plunderer claimed to be a hope aspirant from a level 8 civilization.
A level 8 civilization was likely to be ancient and powerful.
He must know many things that even Senior Yano didn’t.
At such a time, the benefits of killing him outright were far less than that of learning some insider information.
However, the Civilization Potential of Planet Blue Star had just earned its entrance ticket.
Even if it was some abyss game, it was only at entry-level.
Jiang Chen knew very little; any attempt to feign knowledge and fish for information was bound to be full of flaws and only add to the farce.
After a moment’s consideration, he simply asked directly,
“You’re a hope candidate from a level 8 civilization? Civilizations have tiers?”
“…Ah?”
Ying Tian was stunned for a moment.
What was this boss talking about, tiers of civilization?
Wasn’t that common knowledge?
Wait a second…
Such knowledge was indeed common for advanced civilizations, but it was something that was gradually explored and discovered.
Those low-level civilizations that had just crossed the abyss without a proper guide would naturally lack this common knowledge.
The problem was…
“You’re not a hope candidate from an ancient civilization?”
“Ah?”
“Motherfucker? What?”
Ying Tian’s modified brain even began to lag, showing a loading symbol.
Nevertheless, he ultimately was a hope candidate with a super brain.
After a moment, he had analyzed the other’s situation.
Looking at Jiang Chen’s powerful physique was like beholding a rare treasure, his eyes gleamed with excitement.
“Even among the first generation of hope aspirants, someone like you could emerge?!”
“Deceitful… no, good brother, are you interested in joining our civilization?”
“For you to have grown to this extent in a low-level civilization, if you join our Divine Lord Civilization, you will surely reach even greater heights!”
“If you join our Divine Lord Civilization, I guarantee I will nominate you to become a divine prodigy!”
“As for this Fire Transmission and Fire Plunder, if you become a Divine Lord in the future, won’t all of this be at your mere whim?”
To downgrade from a civilization’s adoptive father to its son, do I look like an idiot to you?
Jiang Chen frowned slightly.
“You still haven’t answered me, what are civilization tiers?”
“It’s about civilization privileges.”
After guessing Jiang Chen’s situation, Ying Tian displayed extreme enthusiasm.
Besides, Jiang Chen was asking about nothing more than abyss common knowledge.
Even if he didn’t know now, with his potential, he would inevitably come into contact with these things after some time.
“Civilizations that have just crossed the abyss have only level 1 privileges and are called 1st Rank civilizations.”
“If a civilization’s potential increases, if it acquires civilization traits, defeats civilization calamities… once certain conditions are met, civilization privileges will be upgraded.”
“With each upgrade of civilization privileges, the civilization’s flame grows stronger, gaining more things, encountering more phenomena.”
“The things a 1st Rank civilization comes into contact with are really too few.”
“Compared to a level 8 civilization, it is like the difference between heaven and earth!”
“To elevate a level 1 authority to level 8, it requires an incredibly long period of time, and the joint efforts of many generations of hopefuls.”
“So, if you stay at a level 1 civilization, your potential will always be just that little.”
“Why not join us?”
Facing the earnest gaze of the divine prodigy Ying Tian,
Jiang Chen felt some confusion.
“Can civilization members just change civilizations at will?”
“Normally, of course not.”
The divine prodigy Ying Tian began to speak.
“Civilization members are born into a civilization, bound to it, everything they have is closely related to their own civilization.”
“However, there are loopholes in this.”
“‘Reincarnation’.”
“As long as someone is willing to give up everything, they can intercept their soul at the moment of death by some means, and transfer it into the nurturing embryo of a new life.”
“The process of being reborn is the process of changing civilizations.”
“Since a mecha pilot’s talent is a reflection of one’s soul, even after rebirth, your talent will not change—”
“In fact, due to the change in Civilization Potential, you’ll receive new enhancements!”
“You moved from a level 1 civilization to our level 8 civilization.”
“Your talent will only grow stronger, not weaker.”
The divine prodigy Ying Tian paused for a moment, then shook his head.
“Didn’t you say that we Fire Plunderers are very evil?”
“Actually, that’s not the case.”
“Even if the Fire Plunderer is evil, it’s still a part of the Fire Transmitter system, and it preserves the spark of other civilizations.”
“It’s just that there are always some wastes who can’t even do this much.”
“Those civilizations beyond level 10, the most ancient ones, besides the original Fire Transmission Civilization—”
“There’s the Soul Plunder Civilization, equally ancient but extremely evil.”
“They will kill the mecha pilots of all other civilizations, plunder their souls, bring them back to their own civilization for cleansing, modification, enslavement…”
“That is the real evil!”
“As for our Divine Lord Civilization’s Reincarnation Technique, it comes from the Rebirth Civilization, which is opposed to the Soul Plunder Civilization.”
“This method of reincarnation does not cleanse the soul and memory but instead retains past memories, with some added enhancements, and one can also regain the additional bonuses of Civilization Potential…”
“It’s effectively like resetting your points.”
“Every reincarnation makes you more powerful!”
“Moreover… although the reincarnation opportunities we traded from the Rebirth Civilization are limited and costly, only a select few are eligible to use them.”
“But with your qualifications, you’ll definitely be able to obtain a reincarnation spot!”
“You will become stronger than you are now!”
The divine prodigy Ying Tian was very excited as he spoke.
Jiang Chen nodded slightly.
The full-power mode consumed a great deal.
Already several dozens of seconds had passed, and he felt his physical strength was nearly depleted; Ying Tian was probably about to escape the abyss as well.
With a cold expression, he lifted his fist to strike.
“Even an evil Fire Plunderer civilization can trade with the Rebirth Civilization?”
“It looks to me like you’re just deceiving me, intending to plunder and enslave my soul—”
“Even trying to trick me into suicide!”
“Wait…”
Ying Tian wanted to say something else.
But Jiang Chen, having switched to output mode, landed several consecutive punches, directly penetrating the energy body, turning it into a pile of mush.
“I won’t be misled by you, naturally evil Fire Plunderer brat!”
