Chapter 270 The Affairs of Upper Civilizations (Part 2)

As time progresses and the sediment settles.

The promotion path for the upper-class alien races suddenly changed from a double insurance policy to a single-choice question with no room for error.

Either gamble everything and risk a high mortality rate to proceed through timeline T1; success will allow you to evolve into a Dominator, while failure will result in your annihilation.

Alternatively, they might arrive in this universe along with the sedimentation timeline T2, become alien life forms, and then act as a sprinkler truck emitting scattered particles to create a cold death, while being ganged up on by the native inhabitants of this universe with bounties on their heads—a truly miserable fate.
True.

Perhaps the latter, once the amount of sparse particles emitted reaches a certain level, will receive a similar reward and be resurrected in the upper levels in some way that Gu Wei finds difficult to understand.

But even if such a 'reward' exists, it is foreseeable that it will be extremely difficult to obtain.

This is like those unscrupulous games on Earth that make players grind for battle pass experience, and then they want skins even if they don't drain you dry?
impossible.

Of course.

The timeline T2 subsidence mentioned by Jin is not the same concept as the timeline collapse involved in Amir's Maneuver II.

The two are only similar in wording.

The collapse of the timeline in "All Things Are Me" is intended to create an intersection with the spaceline, essentially a transformation from untouchable to accessible.

Imagine you take a high-speed train from your home to a certain city. The railway is readily available, and the process of passing through the turnstiles to reach the platform connects the passengers with the high-speed train.

The timeline T2 of the upper space settlement is much more complex than this; it can be seen as laying a railway from scratch.

Then Gu Wei coughed lightly, dispelling the various thoughts in his mind: "So, Jin, the hierarchy of the alien races is divided according to their respective paths?"

“That’s one way to understand it, but the actual situation is more detailed than that,” Jin said, changing her posture to cross her arms and offering another piece of gossip: “About tens of thousands of years ago, an exploration team once ventured deep into a jump point and brought back a rather important document—the owner of the document seems to be a certain generation of Descendant, but their specific identity is uncertain.”

"In short, according to the information recorded above, the path to becoming a Dominator involves several checkpoints. Dominators who reach different checkpoints gain different abilities, which the recorder calls 'Authority'."

Gu Wei's eyes flickered.

authority?

That's a pretty cool way to put it.
Then he stroked his chin twice, following Jin's lead: "So, the status of alien races is determined by the size of their power?"

“That’s right,” Jin gave an affirmative answer this time: “According to the information Xinghai currently has, the alien races that came to this universe with the sinking timeline T2 have the lowest status. They are called the primitive alien races within the alien races, which roughly correspond to the first to third levels of Xinghai alien life.

"Those who pass through timeline T1 are the rulers. Based on the nodes, which are also called [authority], they are divided into three levels: limit breakers, rulers, and monarchs. Limit breakers are the lowest, and monarchs are the highest."

"After completing their path ascension, most of the Dominators will remain in the upper space, while another part will descend through time axis T2 and become alien life forms to cause destruction—that is, alien life forms of level four to seven in the Star Sea classification. The remaining very small part will arrive in the Star Sea as Descendants."

"With the support of the rules, the performance of alien civilizations far surpasses that of the Star Sea or even all civilizations in the history of this universe. According to the current classification of civilizations, they are roughly at the tenth level."

Gu Wei's eyes showed a look of sudden realization.

Got it figured out
So this is how the hierarchy of alien races is divided?

Within the upper-class alien race.

The members of the race all start as juveniles, and upon reaching maturity, they are divided into Primal Aliens, Limit-Breaking Dominators, Ruler-level Dominators, and Monarch-level Dominators. Among them, the Primal Aliens do not follow timeline T1, but instead descend into the Star Sea through timeline T2, emitting sparse particles to create a cold and desolate state, corresponding to the three initial ratings of Star Sea Alien life forms: [Perturbation], [Shadow], and [Interference].

The Dominator Path can also descend into this universe in a way similar to a clone or projection. The alien life form that is formed after descent corresponds to the four levels of [Invasion], [Vision], [Reconstruction], and [Collapse].

In addition, a small number of rulers will transform into descendants and come to the Star Sea, which, in the terms of the novels Gu Wei read before his transmigration, is called reincarnation.

As expected, there is a clear hierarchy.
Within this racial group structure.

The Starsea Civilization is at the mid-stage threshold of the eighth tier, the Void Light Civilization is at the early stage of the eighth tier, the Zhou Civilization is at the late stage of the eighth tier, the First Generation Civilization starts at the ninth tier, and the upper levels of the Tower are roughly at the tenth tier.

This is the ranking of all the top civilizations in this universe throughout history.

Gu Wei silently memorized these classifications, pondered for a moment, and then asked Jin, "Speaking of Jin, how many monarch-level rulers are there in the upper space?"

“Not many, to be precise, very few,” Jin said, shaking her head as she picked up Nuonuo, who had wandered over to the main control panel, and rubbed her ears. “There are only five known monarch rulers. Three of them are the original progenitors of the rule aggregates, who gathered a large number of rules at the beginning of their existence. The other two are ‘descendants’ who successfully advanced through the T1 timeline.”

"These five monarchs command four alien branches—you can think of them as black, white, and yellow races among humans. Their goal is quite the same: to reclaim the timeline T2 that has sunk into this universe."

Five monarch-level rulers?
Four branches?

So even the upper levels of a tall tower require five branches to be in place?
"By the way," Gu Wei thought of something else when Jin mentioned Timeline T2, "Why did the first civilization do this? What benefits would sinking the timeline bring them?"

This has been a recurring problem for Gu Wei.

According to what Jin said at the time.

The tower model has a floor-like partition between the upper and lower levels. The floor has two sides, the ground under the feet of the upper level, which is actually the ceiling of the lower level.

In the tower model.

The upper and lower surfaces of the floor have completely opposite properties, but at the same time, they can ensure that matter can circulate along the body surface and maintain a special balance as a whole.

One day, these termites from the early civilization suddenly had a brain fart and chewed a fatal hole through one of the floors inside the tower.

However, due to the unique structure of the tower, this floor did not completely collapse. Instead, the two forces from above and below merged and exploded to form a completely new space, which is this universe.

To be fair.

As a life form born in this universe, Gu Wei certainly owes a debt of gratitude or a debt of gratitude to the first civilization—or, in a more fantastical, karmic debt.

But on the other hand.

From a purely logical standpoint, the actions of the first civilization were indeed quite surreal.
That was a highly advanced civilization, not just one or two people, and yet it was completely annihilated just like that, trying to bite through space?
Gu Wei couldn't think of a suitable reason.

Then, under Gu Wei's gaze.

Jin fiddled with Nuonuo's little animal ears a couple of times, then shrugged decisively: "I don't know."

Gu Wei: ".?!"
