Gods: Civilization Cultivation, Infinite War

Chapter 221 Investment Failure
The entire T09-3057 crystal wall system reacted differently to the arrival of the Blue Star deity.

Leaving aside the extraordinary beings below the level of eternity, in a catastrophe of this level, they have no choice whatsoever.

The native Eternal Transcendent beings generally maintain a welcoming attitude, after all, what if they lost even the crystal wall system they came from?

No matter how strong they are, they have become nothing more than rootless duckweed.

While extraordinary individuals focus on developing their individual power, eternal extraordinary individuals have already broken free from the limitations of the rules of heaven and earth.

Even if the entire crystal wall system is completely destroyed, they can still move on to other crystal wall systems to develop.

However, this does not mean that extraordinary individuals have no feelings for the crystal system from which they originated.

For any sentient being, the word "hometown" always carries an additional meaning.

There are also many Eternal Transcendent beings who are willing to fight to the death with the Zerg for the survival of their home world.

In addition, even legendary extraordinary individuals can develop a relatively complete extraordinary system.

If eternal transcendents don't deliberately hide their abilities, their paths, once organized, can be transformed into an even more complete and expansive transcendent system.

All extraordinary individuals within this extraordinary system have some kind of connection with their corresponding eternal extraordinary individuals.

Although not as close as the relationship between believers and deities, it can still be considered a community of shared interests.

Every individual can benefit from the development of this extraordinary system, and those who are eternally extraordinary will certainly receive the most benefits.

Once the entire crystal system is completely destroyed, the vast majority of extraordinary beings below the Eternity level will also perish with it, having no chance to travel to other crystal systems.

For the Eternal Transcendent, these Transcendents who walk the same path as them are like their disciples and grand-disciples.

The loss of countless disciples and followers was not only an emotional blow, but also a huge financial loss.

Other crystal wall systems also contain many other extraordinary systems, and even eternal extraordinary beings will find it difficult to get a share of them.

Therefore, from any perspective, many native Eternal Transcendent beings do not wish for the T09-3057 crystal wall system to perish.

In comparison, whether it's a significant decline in their own status or a change in the rules of the crystal wall system, these are all acceptable costs.

The vast majority of crystal wall systems do not have any so-called self-awareness; they simply operate according to a set of fixed rules.

The Blue Star deities only modified this set of fixed rules, and it will not have any adverse effects on the crystal wall system itself.

In the absence of external invasion, the world's will of the Crystal Wall System would certainly not allow the Blue Star deities to modify its rules.

However, given the impending complete extinction of the species, as long as it can preserve itself, being subjected to rule changes is of little consequence.

Since the crystal wall system itself has no will to resist, the locals within it naturally don't have much of a thought.

After all, they are not gods, and they will not be greatly affected by the changes in the rules.

Even among some locals who are very passionate about their home world, what they love is only their home world itself, not the rules within it.

Therefore, for the locals, the arrival of the Blue Star deity is definitely more beneficial than harmful.

But for those forces outside the Crystal Wall System, the arrival of the Blue Star deity was truly terrible news.

After all, their purpose in staying in the T09-3057 crystal wall system was to profit from the war.

A vast amount of precious resources and a constant stream of amazing geniuses can all contribute to the development of one's own power.

This war, which has lasted for millions of years, has made many forces extremely wealthy, and their development speed is several times faster than before.

This is just an appetizer, not the main course yet.

After all, before the entire crystal wall system was completely destroyed, what they could obtain were basically some fixed resources.

These resources are certainly very valuable, but they are not what the major powers value most.

What they value most are naturally the rising geniuses.

At the level of eternal transcendent beings, they actually share many similarities with gods.

Except for a few extremely valuable resources, most resources have no meaning to them.

With the blessing of infinite lifespan, most eternal transcendents focus on cultivating the transcendent system they represent, just as gods cultivate their followers.

The purpose of competing for resources is simply to cultivate the extraordinary system they represent.

Those geniuses who are valued by major powers and sign contracts with them are naturally those who have the potential to exist forever.

If they embark on the same path as those eternal transcendents, and after they have successfully grown up...

Those who are eternally extraordinary on this path can gain a companion, which is of great benefit to them.

Even if you don't follow the same path as them, as long as you join their faction, you can enhance the foundation of your own faction.

When they go on to expand into other crystal systems and compete for resources to develop their own extraordinary systems, they will have more confidence.

Geniuses like this are extremely rare.

Before the Zerg invasion, the size of the T09-3057 crystal wall system was already close to that of a super-large crystal wall system.

It is just one last step away from transforming into a super-large crystal wall system.

If a crystal wall system is dominated by deities, a super-large crystal wall system can support at least one, or even several, deities of the level of great divine power.

Moreover, it is not the kind of great divine power with the lowest gold content that was forcibly catalyzed like the T09-3054 crystal wall system, but a deity with truly great-level combat power.

On Earth, only a few top-tier pantheons possess the power to conquer super-large crystal wall systems; even the Myriad Manifestations Pantheon lacks the capability to do so.

However, even within a crystal wall system of this size, a genius who can potentially achieve immortality is a once-in-a-millennium occurrence.

Only in truly glorious eras do a great number of geniuses emerge who have the potential to endure forever.

However, under the oppression of the Zerg, the T09-3057 crystal wall system had long since entered an era far more glorious than any other in history.

If it weren't for the fact that the extraordinary system is different from the divine system, making it difficult to directly catalyze,

The T09-3057 crystal wall system has long since given birth to eternal extraordinary beings whose power rivals that of great gods.

Of course, the Zerg are able to roam freely in the endless void, instilling fear in countless forces, and there are quite a few super-large crystal wall systems that have been completely devoured by them.

Even if the T09-3057 crystal wall system can catalyze the emergence of eternal superhumans comparable to the power of great gods, if this leads the Zerg to invest more troops into this crystal wall system...

The T09-3057 crystal wall system will only perish even faster, without even a chance to fight and retreat.

The ability to fight and retreat simultaneously stems from two main factors. Firstly, unlike gods, eternal transcendents do not lose most of their combat power or even perish when their rules are devoured by the Crystal Wall System. Secondly, it is due to the continuous stream of geniuses emerging from the Crystal Wall System.

In the current T09-3057 crystal wall system, even geniuses with the potential for eternal life cannot be considered as rare as one in a century.

Basically, at most one such genius will appear every few decades, and sometimes even several such geniuses can appear in just one year.

The number of geniuses that have emerged over millions of years is unimaginable.

Even if not all of these geniuses can grow up smoothly, as long as some of them can grow up.

That could, to some extent, fill the void left by the fall of many eternal extraordinary beings.

Although they were still being pushed back by the Zerg offensive, at least they could fight and retreat, preventing a complete collapse.

Over millions of years, most of the geniuses who had the potential to become immortal have made pacts with forces outside the Crystal Wall System.

This was in exchange for those forces' help in fighting the Zerg with the T09-3057 crystal wall system. In return, those forces would also help these geniuses who had signed the contract to grow better.

The contents of these contracts are not complicated or harsh; they are basically designed to help those geniuses grow up.

If you want to leave the T09-3057 crystal wall system, or if the entire crystal wall system is completely destroyed, you should prioritize joining the forces that have signed contracts with them.

After all, they are all geniuses who have the potential to live forever, and they would never agree to any harsh conditions.

They don't actually need the support of forces outside the crystal wall system to grow.

Signing the contract was both to get those forces to help their home world fight against the Zerg and to find a way out for themselves.

After all, even after fighting the Zerg with all their might, they couldn't avoid the destruction of their home world, so they wouldn't stubbornly stay here and perish with their home world.

If their homeland were to disappear, they would truly become rootless duckweed.

Although few forces in the endless void would refuse the joining of eternal transcendents, they would even offer generous conditions to recruit them.

However, joining a faction that one is familiar with is undoubtedly a top priority.

Therefore, signing such a contract is basically beneficial and harmless to the genius of the T09-3057 crystal wall system.

For forces outside the T09-3057 crystal wall system, this was a long investment that lasted for millions of years.

As a vast power spanning numerous crystal spheres, with an eternal transcendent being in charge, they can easily wait millions of years.

During this process, some geniuses had already grown up, but they perished in the fight against the Zerg.

Some geniuses also died young, never fully realizing their potential.

But these are all perfectly acceptable losses.

After the T09-3057 crystal wall system is completely destroyed, a large number of eternal transcendents will join them, enhancing their foundation.

Such development opportunities are extremely rare, after all, the chance to profit from war doesn't come every time.

The Zerg roam the endless void, and not every crystal wall system can unleash its full potential; we must fight them while retreating.

Most crystal walls, faced with the Zerg invasion, had no time to mount any effective resistance before being completely swallowed up.

The reason why the T09-3057 crystal wall system has been able to persist for so long is partly because the civilization within it is quite unique; the eternal superhumans are much more resilient than gods.

On the other hand, it is also because the T09-3057 crystal wall system was only one step away from becoming a super-large crystal wall system before it was invaded.

For this final step, the T09-3057 crystal wall system had long accumulated a vast foundation, which was to be released during the world upgrade.

Instead of the opportunity for world upgrading, they were met with an invasion by the Zerg.

The world upgrade was out of the question, and in order to resist the Zerg invasion, the T09-3057 crystal wall system released all the resources accumulated over the years.

This is what enabled us to achieve a brilliance far surpassing any previous era.

Although such glory meant little to the Zerg, it provided a good opportunity for many forces outside the Crystal Wall System to profit from the war.

However, this was unexpected by many forces outside the Crystal Wall System.

They didn't get to see the final meal either; instead, they were greeted by the arrival of the gods of the blue planet.

Anyone with any knowledge of Earth or the Supreme God Realm would know that after the arrival of the Earth's deities, the fate of Crystal Wall System T09-3057 was largely a foregone conclusion.

The Zerg are indeed one of the most terrifying calamities in the Endless Void.

However, in the face of the supreme divine realm, the Zerg cannot cause much of a stir.

Some of the longer-lived, eternally extraordinary beings who come from top-tier forces with supreme beings in charge also know certain secrets about the supreme divine realm.

At that time, the Supreme God Realm was not called the Supreme God Realm; its specific name is now unknown or impossible to ascertain.

The Zerg and even the Abyss, which destroyed countless crystal walls, were not considered the most terrifying disasters in the Endless Void at that time.

The "players" are a group that fought against the Zerg in the T09-3057 crystal wall system, bringing hope to countless lives.

Long ago, it was a calamity alongside the Endless Void, the Zerg, and even the Abyss.

There are also the 'Dark Purge', 'The Tragedy of Fate', and a series of other disasters that are on par with, or even more terrifying than, those of the Zerg.

These disasters all originated from an unknown civilization.

Only after these calamities disappeared did the name of the Supreme God Realm resound throughout the endless void.

Anyone with a basic understanding of the endless void knows that there exists a great civilization within it that cannot be ignored.

However, most of the Eternal Transcendent beings know very little about the true terror of the Supreme God Realm.

Only a select few powerful forces with profound foundations have even the slightest trace of their existence recorded.

Even with only these few fragments of records, they dared not reveal the slightest dissatisfaction with the Supreme God Realm.

Only some extremely isolated crystal wall systems, which have no understanding of the endless void, dare to resist the arrival of the supreme divine realm.

Crystal wall system T09-3057 does not belong to an extremely closed crystal wall system.

The forces among them also have some understanding of the Supreme God Realm.

Faced with the arrival of the supreme divine realm, even knowing that their investment, which had lasted for millions of years, was about to vanish.

They could only swallow their anger and dare not show the slightest dissatisfaction or resistance.
