Run Away, This Civilization Is Cheating!

The rewards for other Chosen Ones were actually quite good, but compared to the Colorful Supreme Level, they lacked any highlights.

Shen Hao merely glanced over them briefly.

Overall, he considered himself quite lucky. Although many things were not very useful to Shen Hao as he is now, they still added considerably to his foundation.

Together with the preparations for the talent and profession trials for the Colorful Supreme Level, these five hundred years of downtime wouldn't leave Shen Hao worried about having nothing to do.

It was from this moment on that Shen Hao began to focus deeply on his practices.

He would only allow some of his avatars to appear before the public, while his true self was always cultivating.

Except when necessary, he would make his presence known, to prematurely eliminate anything malevolent that festered in the dark corners of civilization.

In a flash, time flew by.

After meetings, the high-level leaders of Human Civilization decided not to publicize the length of this downtime.

After all, five hundred years is simply too long for ordinary people.

It is even longer than the time Human Civilization has participated in the Civilization Trial.

Many newborns in this era, without the sense of imminent crisis, can easily lose some of the essential qualities that are crucial in the face of trials amidst the flourishing times.

Therefore, a sense of crisis must always be present.

The development of Human Civilization requires constant urging by crisis.

Because of this, as the first century of the downtime almost came to an end, the overall development of Human Civilization had not undergone any changes and was highly consistent with every previous downtime.

The main focus of the entire civilization was placed in two areas.

One is the digestion of technology.

Including card technology, Human Civilization possesses four main Extraordinary Paths, each of which is as vast as smoke, with endless systems of knowledge, especially at such heights. Under normal circumstances, it's entirely possible that there would be no progress for hundreds or thousands of years.

However, Trial Civilizations are ultimately different.

The existence of the Civilization Mall has illuminated the path ahead for the development of these four main paths of the civilization.

During peacetime, people can only rely on research to obtain sufficient Military Merit, which is also what most warriors do during the downtime.

Especially on the other three paths besides technology, researching the legacy techniques in the Civilization Mall is likewise a process of self-strengthening.

Therefore, in today's Human Civilization, almost every day sees various legacy knowledge being fully mastered, digested, and even further optimized!

Indeed, even after the last Enhancement, the level of knowledge inheritance provided by the Civilization Mall is only up to Purple Epic.

And that's the case for every level.

There is actually a lot of room left for development.

Only when the related domain is researched to be more powerful and advanced than the technology given in the Civilization Mall, even reaching the Golden Legendary Level can it be considered to be truly thoroughly understood.

This research frenzy is not just limited to warriors.

It has also spread to ordinary people.

Given the current level of material abundance in Human Civilization, there's no need to elaborate.

Theoretically, a person could do absolutely nothing from birth, living idly until death, and still have a comfortable life.

However, inside Human Civilization, almost no such people exist.

There are many reasons, but they mainly center around four points.

System, dignity, honor, and the innate desires of life.

In today's Human Civilization, from the moment of birth, everyone is exposed to the magnificence of the Extraordinary World. The Life Level of people in different stages are entirely different, with all-round transcendence!

It can even be said that lower Life Level individuals have nothing but basic human rights protected by the legal system when in front of those of a higher Life Level.

Sometimes, even their thoughts are laid bare.

They would feel the oppression stemming from Life Level under the gaze or even the inadvertent aura of the other.

The instincts of life will reject this.

And all people under the age of twelve are not allowed to undergo Cultivation.

This social environment, coupled with the innate yearning of life, leads most people to pursue higher Life Levels.

Even the need for overly complex rules isn't necessary; following one's instincts is enough.

Then there's the system.

This leads to the second focal point of Human Civilization during the downtime.

That is cultivation.

For a civilization, especially an Extraordinary Civilization like this, the importance of talent cultivation goes without saying.

Every citizen, from birth, receives a certain level of cultivation: the Seventieth Level Transcendent Element Concentration of the Mother Planet, the teachings in schools, their observations of society, and even the resources that can improve their talents enjoyed in their daily meals and life.

Yes, children whose minds are not yet mature are not allowed to formally cultivate, even if they possess Talent and are born with great power, guidance, and restrictions are necessary until they are twelve years old.

This is because their minds are not yet capable of controlling such great power and the Life Level that accompanies it.
