Chapter 121: Chapter 98: Receiving Civilization Feedback, Unlocking Permissions!_3

“Let’s take the first two traits of every civilization, Deep Dive and group dive, for example.”

“The former allows us, loaded with supercharge modules, to challenge even more powerful Endless Shadows, thereby gaining unique benefits and rewards.”

“These benefits and rewards are exclusive to the People of Hope.”

“Without the corresponding authority, you don’t even have the qualifications to use them.”

“Group dive is the same; the stronger the civilization, the higher the probability that the People of Hope produce rare items, greatly enhancing the growth speed of the People of Hope!”

“Furthermore, every time a civilization acquires a new trait,”

“you unlock a new authority!”

“This is what makes the People of Hope so powerful!”

Jiang Chen couldn’t help nodding.

The strong support civilization.

Civilization rewards the strong.

This is the rational cycle!

At this moment, after listening to Yano, he asked.

“Within the Fire Transmission authority, you can return to the worlds that once sheltered the Seed of Civilization and spread the Fire of Hope…”

“Then, what about the worlds that sheltered the Seed of Civilization before I gained the Fire Transmission authority?”

“Can they be revisited?”

Yano nodded.

“Even without the trait—when mecha pilots save a civilization, sheltering the Seed of Civilization, they are, in fact, passing the Fire.”

“The Abyss Runes left behind are the mark and can be used by a Fire Transmitter.”

“Naturally, it’s possible to return.”

He paused, then sighed.

“But, this is just in theory.”

“Many civilizations I’ve completely sheltered ultimately still vanished into the abyss.”

“Those that left behind but a trace of the Seed of Civilization, the chances to cross the abyss are extremely low…”

“I suggest you don’t hold out too much hope.”

Jiang Chen recalled the tragic state of Steam World during his rank-up trial.

Only a few thousand people remained, without the alliance’s material and module reserves, without any data on Age-Old Shadows…

Starting from zero, establishing a civilization, exploring the abyss…

He sighed, letting go of this impractical idea.

Yano patted his stomach and stood up.

“Alright, I was actually planning to stay a few more days, to strengthen your mecha and have a contest before going back.”

“Now… everything that had to be done is finished, and it’s time to go back.”

“My world is waiting for me.”

“Lastly, do you have any more questions?”

“I will do my best to answer your queries.”

As a grown People of Hope, Yano is undoubtedly the strongest of his own civilization.

Being absent for a long time could lead to instability.

Jiang Chen didn’t detain him and thought for a moment before asking.

“Is there a way to improve the quality and potential of an initial mecha?”

“Of course, there is.”

Yano readily responded.

“Inside the Endless Shadows opened by Deep Dive authority, there are such drops.”

“However, they are quite rare and have a very low drop rate.”

“If you need them, you might have to farm multiple times.”

Jiang Chen noted down Yano’s words and asked for more information.

Finally, after the exchange was complete.

Yano looked at Li Xiao and cautioned him.

“The disaster on Planet Blue Star this time, just like twenty years ago, is still an Alien Demon Invasion.”

“However, it’s been ongoing for too long, and there’s probably a very powerful presence brewing.”

“You’d better improve your strengths quickly and resolve this disaster as soon as possible.”

Li Xiao and other 8th Rank mecha pilots looked solemn.

Yano continued.

“Also…”

“After gaining the Fire Transmitter traits, all members of a civilization that have conquered the Abyss difficulty level can receive signals for help from other civilizations and choose whether to help or not.”

“I suggest you accept support.”

“Because according to the rules of Fire Transmitter traits, the distress signals issued by a civilization are calculated based on the intensity of the disaster and will have a specific frequency.”

“Only civilization members of similar strength can receive these distress signals.”

“That is to say, an 8th Rank disaster can only be perceived by 8th Rank mecha pilots.”

“So, even if you are not the People of Hope, you don’t need to worry too much, and you can confidently provide support to other civilizations.”

“The only thing to watch out for is…”

“Beware of Fire Plunderers.”

Yano’s expression was icy.

“They are a group of abyss monsters clad in mechas, be sure to kill them whenever you have the chance!”

Seeing that Jiang Chen and Li Xiao had taken note of this matter.

Yano’s expression softened, and he said with a smile.

“May the fire burn eternal, we shall meet again in the future.”

Touching the Abyss Rune, darkness swept in and completely engulfed him
