Chapter 235: Chapter 162 Everyone is a Saviour_2

“Even if it’s not suitable for the Steam World, once their scientists grow up, they can still carry out local modifications later,”

“Hmm, it would be best to have a complete set of this technological tree…”

“Although the shelter I provided was a university, with students, teachers, and various knowledge,”

“it is inevitable that the entire civilization nearly perished and technology regressed.”

Jiang Chen did not immediately use his Fire Transmission Authority to go to the Steam Civilization.

His mind worked rapidly, swiftly coming up with various appropriate measures and support methods for aiding the Steam Civilization—

From an emotional standpoint, this was the first world he sheltered, the first Seed of Civilization.

He had feelings invested in it and didn’t want to see it vanish and be destroyed in the Endless Abyss.

From a practical standpoint, the Planet Blue Star civilization chose the [Co-Combuster] trait.

The more prosperous and thriving the Steam Civilization became,

the more Civilization Potential Planet Blue Star would gain—

Even the hope of the Steam Civilization could awaken the [Co-Combuster] trait in civilization.

Then, they could shelter more civilizations and gain a 70% increase in Civilization Potential.

In this process, once the potential of the Steam Civilization grew,

Planet Blue Star could also obtain a Civilization Potential bonus through the [Co-Combuster] trait.

The bonus is 70% of 70%, which is 49%…

This is the real snowball method of Fire-Transmitting civilizations.

It is also the secret why the Fire Transmission camp remains evergreen, instead of falling into the depravity of Fire Plunder Civilizations!

…

What Planet Blue Star needs most to ascend to Level 3 Authority is Civilization Potential.

Spreading the Seed of Civilization is the way to increase Civilization Potential.

Putting aside his contemplation for the moment, Jiang Chen sought out the high-rank scientists of Planet Blue Star, compiled a set of genetic materials as well as a complete set of knowledge of technological trees.

Once everything was ready, he touched the Abyss Rune and activated the Fire Transmission Authority.

[Fire Transmission Authority triggered, now locking onto the Seed of Civilization.]

[10,9,8…]

[Beginning to cross the abyss.]

The darkness was fleeting.

An abyssal rift opened.

Jiang Chen’s form descended, deftly landing on a beach, waves frothing with white foam at his feet, the air carrying a faint fishy smell.

This was the coastal city where he once fought; remnants of broken ruins still visible on the beach.

However, when he looked up,

homes had been piled up on the once completely flattened city ruins, seemingly at some unknown time.

Although they looked rough and nowhere as exquisite as before,

they were lined up, forming a rudimentary town, breathing some life into the place.

Jiang Chen could even see that at the front of the town, there stood a stone statue, vaguely resembling his likeness.

“From the time I left, it’s been less than two months…”

“Development’s not bad at all.”

Jiang Chen nodded in approval, following the sandy path toward the town.

On the way, he activated his Danger Sensing ability, enveloping the entire planet, sparing neither the core nor the satellite bodies in space.

He scanned every life signature on the planet in one sweep.

Ordinary creatures of too low intensity were filtered out.

He focused on areas with life forms of certain intensity that were highly clustered, or on existences of excessively high life intensity.

In an instant, he had a clear grasp of the planet’s situation.

First and foremost were the ancient gods who had originally destroyed the world’s order and sparked the Day of Revival.

It laid dormant in the depths of the sea abyss, and according to Danger Sensing, had reached the peak of 5th Rank, boasting nearly ten million life intensity.

Far stronger than the Dragon God Monster in the Hope Trial!

Truly deserving of being a mighty being that sleeps in the depths of the sea abyss, its sheer enigmatic aura alone was enough to cause other living beings to mutate.

Jiang Chen could sense that its life aura was in a semi-active state,

Similar to being half-asleep, half-awake.

This seemed to have caused the expansion of the sea abyss’s boundaries, with mutant monsters running rampant throughout the ocean.

However, their strength was not high, being basically between Zero and 1st Rank.

The slightly stronger ones, 2nd and 3rd Rank mutated monsters, still resided deep within the sea abyss and had not left.

“Following this trend, it won’t be a few months before the calamity returns…”

“Should I help them eliminate it beforehand?”

Jiang Chen wasn’t particularly interested in the output of the Sea Abyss Ancient God.

Unless it was a special Mythical Item, he could farm other materials and modules in the Legendary Shadow.

On the contrary, if the catastrophe itself was resolved by the Steam Civilization,

they could obtain Civilization Potential and a series of other outputs, which offered higher benefits.

The only problem was,

whether the hope of the Steam Civilization could grow to 6th Rank strength before the Sea Abyss Ancient God fully awakened.

Jiang Chen wavered for a moment but eventually leaned towards resolving it himself.

For the current Steam Civilization, compared to a small gain, growth time was obviously much more precious.

“Let’s first see the strength of the person of hope.”

Before Jiang Chen even approached the town, he was spotted by a few young people holding muskets, standing on high ground.

After ten days of catastrophe, almost all land creatures had been wiped out, and the fertile fields had been utterly destroyed; people could only continue to stay along the coast, relying on fishing for survival.

In this process, monsters would occasionally emerge from the sea to attack the towns.

These young people were the sentries responsible for guarding, and upon detecting anything, they would go to notify the mecha pilots.

Their previous sightings had all been monsters.

This was the first time they had seen a human appear.

They raised their telescopes, looking towards the stranger coming from the seaside, and their hands trembled slightly as they saw his face clearly.

“It’s Lord Tian Qi!”

Jiang Chen met their eyes and moved slightly.

The next moment, he appeared out of thin air in front of them, floating outside the watchtower.

The young people, seeing Jiang Chen up close, felt as if memories had stepped into reality… no, they saw a physique and a face even more perfect than those in their memories.

They instantly fell into a frenzy, greeting him with wild and overjoyed salutations.

“Lord Tian Qi, you’ve returned!”

When he did the task of leveling up, he had maxed out his reputation, which now made things quite convenient for him.

Jiang Chen revealed a smile.

“I received a message, learning that you have successfully crossed the abyss, so I came for this reason.”

“Who is your current person of hope?”

The young people answered without hesitation.

“It’s the first Transcendent you selected, Lord Laila!”

“Laila?”

Jiang Chen suddenly nodded in understanding.

Among the five thousand survivors, Laila was not only a rare Transcendent but also had been driving steam mechas since childhood. Her transcendent ability even allowed her to sense and communicate with the mecha soul…

She was the strongest genius of the Steam Civilization, and after awakening her powerful talent, it was only logical that she became the person of hope.

It was this designation, however…

“The God-chosen?”

“So, you took the appearance of the mecha pilots as my selection?”

“…Is it not so?”

The young man hesitated, then said,

“You are the savior pursuing the end, and after saving us, you chose to leave.”

“However, although the end has receded, monsters still lurk in the depths of the Sea Abyss.”

“Therefore, you selected Lord Laila and others as the God-chosen, to inherit your power, giving us the ability to fight the monsters…”

“And to inherit your will, to carry out the mission of preserving the Seed of Civilization in other worlds…”

Jiang Chen had previously laid the groundwork for easy task completion by adopting identities like Tian Qi, the savior.

However, he had not left any information regarding mecha pilots.

Instead, he had unwittingly misled the Steam Civilization, leading them to view him as a deity and the mecha pilots as the [Chosen by God]…

Such an advantage was great for himself,

but it was not suitable for the development of the mecha pilot system.

Besides, once the person of hope came into contact with more civilizations, they would naturally come to understand everything gradually.

He patiently waited for the young man to finish talking about what had happened during this period before finally speaking.

“I told you before, I am a savior pursuing the catastrophe, a savior of civilization…”

“I seem to have forgotten to tell you something else.”

“I am a savior, and so are all of you.”

“There is no divine selection, in the abyss, everyone is a savior.”

Jiang Chen paused and then asked,

“Do you know where Laila is?”
