Chapter 399: Chapter 333: The Weight of Civilization True Inheritance!
Zhuang Yingâs statement was actually quite modest.
As a bearer of the âCivilization True Inheritance,â although he was not among the most top-notch geniuses of the new generation of Human Civilization, he was certainly among the noteworthy few. In a population amounting to hundreds of billions, only tens of thousands had received such an honor.
No matter what, he couldnât be regarded as just a normal Scout.
But if one were only to look at his strength, saying so wasnât really an exaggeration.
The Fourth Stage, which includes levels from Level 31 to Level 40, placed in this world, referred to those known as âGreat Powers,â nearly standing at the apex of the entire world. Even the Weird Demons hidden within the Night, if they didnât wish to destroy this small world, would only be at this level.
However, this stage, within the present Human Civilization, was just the âBig Head Soldierâ within the official military!
...
Their numbers reached tens of billions!
Over the past twenty-plus years, the abundant foundation of the past Human Civilization lifted the entire civilizationâs middle and lower-tier strength to a level that would seem unbelievable in the past.
But this was the reality.
With a population of a hundred billion, a full one-tenth had reached the Fourth Stage!
Therefore, Zhuang Ying truly possessed such confidence and pride at this moment.
And this feeling, naturally, was imparted to the people before him, including Tian Chunyan. One by one, their pupils shook as if unable to believe it.
A warrior at the level of a Great Power, and moreover, far stronger than a Marshal, merely a regular Scout?
Not even in dreams would they dare to imagine such a thing!
âAt this moment, it is indeed difficult for you to imagine the vastness of the world,â Zhuang Ying said, seeing their reaction. He didnât find it strange, only smiling lightly, âNo matter, as the supported subjects of this small world, perhaps you will have the chance to witness the grand stage of the world. Be patient and wait. For now, just do as weâve instructed.â
It was then that a figure appeared silently beside him.
Everyone was still completely unaware and were startled in their hearts.
However, seeing that the newcomerâs clothing was nearly identical to Zhuang Yingâs, they all reacted, but the shock in their hearts grew even stronger.
They had thought Zhuang Yingâs attire was unique, but when the second person appeared, they realized to their astonishment that it was actually a standard uniform!
And the design had only minimal differences, seeming to confirm everything Zhuang Ying had said at another level.
But still, could it be true?
Using such fearsome Great Powers as mere front-line soldiers?
âCaptain,â the one who had appeared was Ma Yan. He did not look at the people before him, as he was already aware of everything that had occurred here. He simply said to Zhuang Ying, âAll intelligence has been collected and verified. If you want more detailed content, we need to make a trip to the Royal City.â
These words were not spoken in the language of this world, and all the people present couldnât understand them.
But what they could see was the expression on the face of this mysterious warrior. Suddenly, it became a lot more serious.
âNo need for such trouble, the situation in this world is already clear,â Zhuang Ying said. âI will report directly upwards and follow any subsequent instructions.â
This mission was only to investigate the general situation of this world.
It was already considered complete.
Even the main objective had been achievedâconfirming the existence of an indigenous civilization with its own Cultivation path within this world.
Under such circumstances, further investigation was completely unnecessary. After all, it was just a small world that didnât exceed the Fourth Stage.
There wouldnât be anything beyond control.
So, everyone saw Zhuang Yingâs expression turn reverent, as though on a pilgrimage. He lifted his hand and took out a cigarette. A flame appeared directly on it, and he tidied his clothing, dusted it off, and respectfully saluted towards the sky.
He did not kneel, but at that moment, everyone could feel the solemnity in his heart.
Along with that, Tian Chunyan and the others felt an indescribable sensation within themselves.
Whatever was being done, to make such a warrior show this level of seriousness and even reverence, naturally carried with it a sense of sacredness.
Indeed, this was one of the functions of this ritual.
Ordinarily, for reporting directly to the President, establishing a direct connection with the President wouldnât require such ritual.
Ever since Shen Hao had broken through to the Fourth Stage, his connection with the entire civilization had grown even closer. In the Divine Soul of every Human being, Shen Haoâs likeness even existed, symbolizing their belonging and representing the might of the âEmperor.â
But there was a reason for the ritual.
Without saying anything else, such rituals, without a doubt, better reflected the reporteeâs reverence and loyalty.
So, unless in an emergency situation, the vast majority, when reporting directly to Shen Hao and establishing a connection, would adopt a certain ritual, among which holding a stick of incense towards the heavens was the most widely spread.
After all, Shen Hao was from the Eastern Country, and such rituals fit in with the cultural customs of the Eastern Country people.
At this moment, all of the intelligence they had gathered, within this ritual filled with the air of sanctity, was transmitted to Shen Hao.
After processing by the âEmperorâs Crown,â the intelligence was marked as priority and caught Shen Haoâs attention.
