Evolution Paradise, are you the disaster?

Chapter 676 Fire Seed Immortal Qin Empire Encounters, Insightful Lao Meng
"That's outrageous."

Meng Yi grumbled, "That's how unchecked growth works. It's fortunate that the entire universe has a 'being' base, which allows for the cultivation of a sufficient number of 'transcendent beings'."

"Who says it's not?"

"Mythical Great Luo Li Bing" shrugged and led Meng Yi on a tour of the research institute, occasionally sharing his personal understanding of investment derivatives.

As He said before, the only thing the "fire-spark civilization" could boast about was "inclusive assimilation".

The "spark" can assimilate most external objects into components that can match itself.

Even a "Tier 1 Colorless Fire Seed" is theoretically capable of utilizing and converting some parts of a Tier 13 life form's corpse. However, since it is an external thing, it is still an external thing, and we still know how it works but not why it works.

"This project studies the nooks and crannies of the 'Science Road.' To fit the framework of the Starry Sky Ruins, the carriers of the 'Spark' typically appear in the form of ships or mechs."

Li Bing spoke eloquently, introducing Meng Yi to the various research institutes of the "Shattered Star Sea: Fire Seed·Immortal Qin Empire" scientific research department.

"It's still a conversion rate issue. Why limit ourselves to 'mechs'?"

Meng Yi looked around for a long time.

The efficiency of the mecha form is mediocre. The total technology and materials required to build a mecha can be separated and used to create more efficient war machines.

"Why else? Because the 'mecha' is cool, of course!"

Li Bing jokingly said the truth: being strong is a temporary thing, but being handsome is a lifelong thing.

The entire "Shattered Star Sea - Peak Fire Seed Civilization Cluster," not to mention the basic warship carriers, even the "Seventh-Tier Stellar Warship," "Eighth-Tier Neutron Star Warship," "Ninth-Tier Black Hole Warship," "Tenth-Tier Sub-Cosmic Warship," "Eleventh-Tier Four-Dimensional Spacetime Warship," and "Twelfth-Tier Civilization Foundation," all possess the form-changing function of "mechs."

"The art style is quite absurd. A perfectly good technological era has been transformed into a primitive fight between people using cold weapons."

Meng Yi is a cold-blooded and ruthless power-hungry player who simply can't appreciate the coolness of "mechs".

"In my understanding, whether it's a black cat or a white cat, a good cat is one that can catch mice."

Li Bing put his hand to his forehead, saying with a heavy heart, "Is it really appropriate to apply the methods used for pet cats and Ragdoll cats to the whole of civilization?"

It is not surprising that this situation arose when the "Shattered Star Sea · Fire Seed Civilization Cluster" was allowed to grow wildly without macro-level regulation.

The "Xianqin Heavy Industry Group" under His responsibility has participated in numerous projects. Just looking at the "investment" at the level of the "Local End Theory Project Team," how much does the "Shattered Star Sea · Fire Seed Civilization Cluster" account for?

Moreover, the "Shattered Star Sea - Fire Seed Civilization Cluster" is the framework for the "Fire Seed Civilization".

They, the participants in the "Civilization Struggle - Qin," are not the organizers. Therefore, it is only natural to reduce their attention appropriately, and it is normal to casually cast a few "local Qin name" votes and then leave it at that.

Li Bing's main focus was on the "Civilization Struggle - Qin" project, which was organized by the Qin government. If it weren't for Meng Yi's arrival, he wouldn't have bothered to log in and pay attention to the "Shattered Star Sea Area," which had little potential.

……

Meng Yi and "Li Bing" left the counterpart of "Xianqin Heavy Industry Group" side by side and went deep into the grassroots to visit the basic module of "Shattered Star Sea: Fire Seed·Xianqin Empire".

The territory directly governed by "Shattered Star Sea: Fire Seed - Immortal Qin Empire" contains billions of world fragments, which can be divided into tiers 1 to 11 from low to high. The largest tier 11 world fragment is no less than a normally functioning universe, and its population is unimaginably enormous.

Besides directly administered states, there are also vassals, and "dynasty-level," "kingdom-level," and "duchy-level" are the four civilization classifications under "empire-level."

"Empire-level" has combat power of 11th to 12th tier; "Dynasty-level" has combat power of 9th to 10th tier.
"Kingdom-level" has 7th to 8th tiers; "Prince-level" is 6th tier.

Different levels of peak combat power result in different territorial extents.

According to the "Scientific Approach" to the understanding of the "universe":

"Prince-level" ≈ Galaxy arm, with an area of ​​several thousand to tens of thousands of light-years; "Kingdom-level" ≈ Galaxy group to galaxy cluster, with an area of ​​hundreds of thousands to millions of light-years;
"Dynasty-level" is roughly equivalent to a supercluster of galaxies, covering an area of ​​hundreds of millions to hundreds of billions of light-years; "Empire-level" is on the scale of a supermassive cosmic ocean.

"A mountain of shit code running in a special environment."

Meng Yi hesitated, wanting to speak but holding back, there were too many things to complain about, so he could only condense his thoughts into a mountain of shit code.

"you do not say."

"Li Bing" didn't care about "Shattered Star Sea: Peak Fire Seed Civilization Cluster" at all, so he didn't empathize with it.

"Everyone does it this way."

Li Bing explained the composition of the "Shattered Star Sea Area".

The "Fire Seed Civilization Cluster," ranked among the "Top Ten Peak Civilizations," is arranged in a pyramid structure, containing hundreds of "empire-level" forces comparable to the "Fire Seed Immortal Qin Empire," with the number increasing as you move down the pyramid.

The entire territory of the "Fire Seed Civilization Cluster" can be roughly considered as the "Quantum Sea" that Meng Yi saw in the "Tree and Sea Dungeon" and the "Primordial Tree and Sea Worldview".

The "Fire Seed Civilization Cluster" occupies only a tiny corner of the "Shattered Star Sea Region." There are nine other forces of similar strength, which together are called the "Ten Peak Civilizations."

There are people outside people, and there are days outside the sky.

The "Shattered Star Sea Region" is a garbage dump formed by the collapse of multiple universes. Even more outrageous than the "civilizations" led by the "Ten Peak Civilizations" are the "alien beings" that spread across various dimensions of space and time and occupy the vast majority of the whole.

"Anomalies" are the product of the conflict between "No.2 Demon King", "No.3 Demon King" and "All Realms - The Final Abyss", and their level of danger should not be underestimated.

Take the "Shattered Star Sea → Ten Peak Civilizations → Fire Seed Civilization Cluster" example.

To combat the "alien beings," the "Fire Seed Civilization Cluster," spearheaded by the "Fire Seed Immortal Qin Empire," spared no expense in building the "Civilization Foundation Star Sea Great Wall."

……

"Indeed, wherever there are traces of the 'Civilizational Struggle - Qin,' there is bound to be the Great Wall."

Meng Yi strolled along the "Starry Sea Great Wall," treating it as a "Boundary Sea Dam" built by the "Mysterious Dungeon: Reincarnation Celestial Venerable Klein." When pushed to its limit, it could unleash the power of "12th-tier Breakthrough+".

"hey-hey."

Li Bing smiled without saying a word, tacitly agreeing with Meng Yi's statement. Looking at the "Shattered Star Sea Area" as a whole, its total scale is roughly equivalent to the "Sea Sacrifice."

A certain "Level 14 Test Ground" under the "Local End Theory Project Team" shattered and dispersed, merging into hundreds of different areas of the "Sea Sacrifice" and "Strange Plateau" levels.

This shows the number of projects that "Civilization Struggle - Qin" has invested in and participated in within the "Local End Theory Project Team," as well as how many "Level 14 Test Fields" it involves.

It's no wonder that "Mythical Great Luo Li Bing" isn't very interested in "Shattered Star Sea: Fire Seed: Immortal Qin Empire".

What about education?

After browsing the "Great Wall of the Universe," which resembles a "border sea dike," Meng Yi inquired about the education section of the "Fire Seed·Immortal Qin Empire," which includes both the native and vassal civilizations.

"Very average."

"The 'Sparkling Immortal Qin Empire' is still manageable, but things get worse as you go down the ranks; it basically relies entirely on those in power to keep it going."

Li Bing shook his head and sighed.

"Difficult, difficult, difficult. Wherever there are people, there is a power struggle. There are internal power struggles and constant external threats. If you are only focused on 'eating and eating' to accumulate combat power and longevity, how can you calm down and think about the path forward?"

The new generation, born from the "Fire Seed Immortal Qin Empire," sees the weakest "principality-level" civilization, while the "Zero-Returner Alliance," no less powerful than the "Three-Body Universe," sees the remote and impoverished "Earth."

The two sides are so different that they are practically different species. The gap in their vision, ideas, thinking, and values ​​is ridiculously large.

Fortunately, the hundreds of "imperial" civilizations in the "Spark Civilization Cluster" reached a consensus to build a "Civilization Heritage Spark Civilization Network" that facilitates communication and covers a wide range of cultures, thus preventing a complete loss of contact.

The access permissions at each level differ: "Prince-level Small World Fragment Habitat Network" → "Prince-level Galaxy Network" → "Prince Network as a Whole" → "Kingdom Network" → "Dynasty Network" → "Empire Network" → "Fire Seed Civilization Network Overall Framework".

"To prevent 'deus ex machina' incidents from occurring, the 'Fireseed Civilization Cluster' has promulgated a single rule applicable to all its members."

Li Bing's expression turned serious. "Starting with the 'Tier VI Star Destroyer,' internal strife leading to armed conflict is strictly prohibited."

“Completely blocking upward mobility channels is not an option, as it can easily lead to class stratification.”

Li Bing paused, then said, "The 'Fireseed Civilization Cluster' has provided an upward mobility channel for those whose origins are insufficient. Every 'Tier VI Star Destroyer' must serve for a hundred years at the 'Great Wall of the Universe' after its advancement, participating in the war against the 'Aliens,' and earning rich rewards for its military merits."

"After a century of service, one can return to the rear of civilization to rest, or at any time return to the 'Great Wall of the Universe' to continue using war to achieve personal growth and transformation."

"Ah this..."

Meng Yi blinked and scoffed, "A heavily modified, localized version of the military merit system?"

As expected of Qin, with the "Great Wall" in front and the "military merit title" that brought them wealth behind, they were truly remarkable.

"Mythical Great Luo Li Bing" is still too modest.

Both "Defensive Fortifications - Great Wall of the Universe" and "Promotion Method - Military Merit" feature "Fire Seed - Immortal Qin Empire", making it easy to see the status of "Fire Seed - Immortal Qin Empire" in the "Fire Seed Civilization Cluster".

"Lord White Demon, you've gone too far! We can't play this game of exposing our secrets like this!"

Li Bing chuckled and scolded, then patiently explained, "There must be other ways to advance."

"The group that spends all day at the 'Great Wall of the Universe' can be considered the 'military force.' Besides the 'military force,' there must also be other positions, such as 'academic institutions' and 'research institutions' associated with the 'Xianqin Heavy Industry Group.'"

"Though small, it has all the essential parts. Even the smallest thing that can be called 'civilized' has everything it needs, including those petty, underhanded schemes that are best left unsaid."

……

Some things don't need to be explained too clearly.

Born in hardship, die in comfort. Maintaining a certain degree of struggle and conflict can create a "catfish effect." As long as the intensity can be controlled macroscopically, from a civilized perspective, the benefits outweigh the drawbacks.

The "Fire Seed Civilization Cluster" occupies a multiverse sea. How many people are born and die naturally every moment? What does it matter if some die from internal conflicts?
"Tier 6 Star Destroyer" is not allowed to participate in internal struggles because it has the power to destroy a planet with a single shot, and the destructive power it causes is too terrifying. Keeping the intensity within the "Tier 6 Star Destroyer" range is a very appropriate approach.

"Lord White Demon, the 'Fire Seed·Jin Empire' has been up to something interesting lately. Would you like to go check it out?"

"Li Bing" suggested that Meng Yi go elsewhere to cause trouble, but "Fire Seed·Immortal Qin Empire" couldn't resist the White Demon's idea.

"What do you think of this?"

Meng Yi became interested and pressed for details about what kind of fun it was.

"It's just that our old enemy has come knocking."

"Li Bing" was not afraid of the retaliation from "Civilization Path Contest - Jin", a mediocre contestant, and said whatever he wanted.

"Besides the 'Ten Peak Civilizations' like the 'Fire Seed Civilization Cluster,' the 'Shattered Star Sea Region' also contains many 'Individual Powerful Individuals' who exist outside of the 'civilization' realm."

"The 'Mythical Great Luo Goddess of the Luo River' and many other 'Mythical Great Luo Gods' simultaneously launched a war against the 'Civilization Conflict' group."

"Judging from the 'Shattered Star Sea Region,' it is 'Tier 12 Mythical Creatures' capable of taking on a 'Fire Seed Empire' single-handedly. They are attacking a segment of '12 Extraordinary+: Fire Seed Civilization Foundation - Great Wall of the Universe' in droves, declaring war on the 'Fire Seed Civilization - Jin Empire' with a relentless and suicidal attack."

"Any project in which the 'Civilizational Struggle' group invests will now face targeted retaliatory attacks from an enemy who has previously offended anyone, as long as that group has no one to hide behind."

"Oh?"

Meng Yi raised an eyebrow. Fighting? He loved watching fights, he wanted to see rivers of blood!
When "Rebooting the Investiture of the Gods: The Emperor's Plan" was in progress, he was doing the work of a 007 ox and horse, and didn't have time to watch "The Primordial Era: The Three Religions and Lineages" take revenge on "Mythical Great Luo: Jiang Ziya".

Now that he has the time, he has to take a look at all the powerful individuals who are fearless and have nothing to fear, and confront the "civilized struggle" group with its large family business and extensive reach.

"The Goddess of the Luo River? Sima Qian's fart is unprecedented and deserves to be slapped."

Meng Yi selectively focused his attention slightly, tracing back to the various related areas of "Civilization Struggle - Jin" within the "Local Terminology Project Team," striving for a more comprehensive perspective on the gossip.

His thoughts were still lingering in the "Shattered Star Sea Area," and he prepared to head to the "Fire Seed Civilization: Jin Empire" to watch the drama unfold.
