Pretending to be a genius starts with the civilization advancement assessment.

Chapter 93 Civilization Assessment Milestone

In her thousands of years of guardianship, her deepest impression of the Blue Star civilization was that it was a civilization with constant internal strife, a small planet that could be divided into more than a hundred political entities.

Therefore, she had no expectations whatsoever about achieving any outstanding results in the civilization promotion assessment.

For this reason, Irelia had only a general understanding of special achievements like "Civilization Milestones," which could only be triggered by a very few outstanding civilizations, that they could greatly increase points and permanently improve the reward coefficient, but she had never gone into a deeper understanding of their specific details.

In the vast and complex cosmic network of information, learning to selectively receive information relevant to one's own duties is a fundamental quality of every Eldar member.

In her view, the concept of civilizational milestones would never have any connection with Earth.

Therefore, she had already filtered out the details about how lower civilizations acquire milestones.

"Immediately check the specific conditions and implications for achieving these two milestones."

Irelia's tone carried a hint of curiosity.

The system responded quickly, and data flowed across the screen, displaying detailed explanations:
[Milestone: Rising Up in Counterattack - White]

Motto: Weakness is not a mistake, cowardice is.

Conditions for achievement: A swift counterattack, successfully destroying any miniature abyssal beast nest, and ranking within the top 0.001% of the assessment time for civilizations of the same level from the start of the assessment to the achievement time.

Effect: A one-time reward of a large amount of civilization points, permanently increasing the civilization point coefficient by 0.1.

[Milestone: United Against External Forces, Green Development]

Motto: When you are good at civil war, I hope you will be good at foreign war as well.

Conditions for achievement: (Only civilizations that have not achieved political unification before the assessment can participate in the selection) Successfully establish a combat alliance system that covers the vast majority of the surviving forces of this civilization, and its integration speed is in the top 0.001% of the assessment ranking of civilizations of the same level.

Effect: A one-time reward of a large amount of civilization points, permanently increasing the civilization point coefficient by 0.2.

“So that’s how it is”

Irelia suddenly realized.

Because of her interest in Lin Yi, she had some understanding of Xia Guo's recent series of actions.

Knowing that its "Operation Dawn" destroyed a miniature nest at an astonishing speed, fulfilling the demanding time limit of "Fighting Back".

Immediately afterwards, Xia Kingdom quickly united the vast majority of surviving countries around the world to establish the "Blue Star Crisis Response Alliance," which undoubtedly triggered the conditions for "uniting against external forces."

The achievement of these two milestones not only brought a huge reward of nearly one million points, but also increased the points coefficient from 1.0 to 1.3.

This means that any base points that the Blue Star civilization subsequently gains will receive an additional 30% bonus.

This is undoubtedly a huge long-term advantage.

"It seems I underestimated the organizational and operational capabilities that Earth's civilization can unleash under extreme pressure," Irelia muttered to herself.

"However, the milestone setting for the human race's assessment is quite interesting and very guiding. It seems that obtaining milestones is essential for a civilization to get high scores."

She suddenly wanted to see what other milestones there were besides these two.

"Star Language, show me the information about the milestones that may be triggered on Blue Star."

"Yes, Master."

Xingyu waved again, and the content on the virtual screen instantly changed, displaying a densely packed list.

【Awakening of Bloodlust - Green】: Fear is instinct, but resistance is a choice - In the early stages of the assessment, non-combat personnel successfully organize an effective counterattack that kills far more Abyss Beasts than they themselves suffer casualties (must exceed a certain threshold).

【Peeping into the Abyss - Green】: To kill your enemy, you must first understand your enemy - successfully capture and deeply study a high-level leader-level or higher abyssal beast, develop targeted source energy technology from it, and apply it to actual combat.

[Fight to the Death - Blue]: As a civilization, there should always be someone who cannot retreat—in a large-scale abyss, under conditions where retreat is possible, to cover non-combat personnel, with combat personnel suffering over 90% casualties. [Unyielding Ground - Purple]: As long as there is an inch of land left to stand, civilization will never kneel—any major base/settlement/refuge that has withstood an abyss more than a hundred times its own comprehensive defensive strength after continuous attacks for more than one standard cycle has not been breached.

【Blood for Blood - Purple】: They brought destruction, we repay with extinction - Successfully destroy a main nest of Abyss Beasts, and in the battle, the total number of kills inflicted on Abyss Beasts is a hundred times the number of friendly combat personnel lost.

【Exterminate All - Gold】: Others are greedy, I am fearful; one should be cautious about the unknown—annihilate all the abyssal beast lairs.

【Unyielding Flame - Gold】: As long as one human remembers to resist, civilization will never end. In the extreme dire situation where the main body of civilization is destroyed and the survivors are less than one in a thousand or even less, the remaining humans can still organize an effective resistance force and continue to harass and kill the Abyss Beasts for more than one standard assessment cycle, while maintaining the core identity of civilization.

【Echoes of the End - Gold】: Though this body perishes, this hatred endures—In the final moments before the main body of civilization confirmed its impending destruction, a "civilization tombstone" plan was successfully executed.

Irelia's gaze swept quickly over the names of these milestones and the few words of description. Even with her long life and the relatively detached mindset of the Eldar, she couldn't help but feel a chilling and magnificent aura of killing intent and unwavering will.

“These milestones are so aggressive, so decisive.” She took a deep breath, feeling a chill.

"This is a test of civility"

Irelia instantly realized that the civilization selected by the Human Council through this assessment mechanism was by no means a gentle and humble one.

Behind every milestone may lie countless sacrifices, iron-fisted choices, and unwavering courage in the face of the enemy.

They are not flowers cultivated in a greenhouse, but battle blades forged in the ruins of blood and fire.

"Hmm, judging from the milestones, it seems that this assessment doesn't necessarily require defeating the Abyss Beast."

At this moment, Irelia keenly noticed something unusual: "If the score is high enough, even if you fail, you can still obtain a high civilization rating."

"So, even if a civilization is destroyed, it can still have a chance to be reborn if it performs well enough. After all, within the reach of a divine kingdom, even if the physical body dies, the soul imprint will be preserved. With those people's meager strength, even if they were all resurrected, it wouldn't be a difficult task for a god-level being."

As a family that once produced beings at the Transcendent Realm level, Irelia's access to information on the Pan-Spirit Alliance network is naturally much higher than that of ordinary Star Swirl-level beings, and even comparable to Star Domain-level beings.

Therefore, she has a deeper understanding of the power and methods of eternal god-level beings.

"No wonder. No wonder a mere assessment of a low-level civilization requires the intervention of an eternal god who can use an avatar."

"These humans, really..."

“If I hadn’t come to the human territory in person and witnessed all of this,” Irelia thought to herself, “I would probably have been like most of my fellow human beings, with my impression of the human race remaining as a weak race that needed to depend on a powerful race, as recorded in those ancient cultural records. Even though they can be considered a powerful race.”

"It seems that the arrogance of our Spirit Race as a top race has blinded too many of our compatriots."

"Fortunately, judging from my ability to come to the human race as a guardian of civilization, the higher-ups aren't entirely stupid. They have a clear understanding of the human race's potential. These things are beyond my control as a mere Xingxuan. I should focus on overcoming my own difficulties first."

Irelia chuckled inwardly and turned her gaze back to the blue planet outside the porthole.

Initially, she placed her hopes solely on the emergence of Lin Yi, this single genius.

Today, the unexpected potential displayed by the entire Blue Star civilization is like an unexpected ray of dawn.

"If... if not only Lin Yi himself can continue to break through and eventually reach Level 7, but the Blue Star civilization can also, under his guidance, continuously climb to higher rating levels..."

"If both criteria are met, and we have double the joy, then I'll trouble His Majesty Xu Chen. But... never mind, the probability is too small. I've really been blinded by pressure. It's absurd."

Irelia shook her head slightly, as if trying to shake off this "unrealistic" idea.

However, her gaze remained firmly fixed on the starry sky that was undergoing dramatic changes.

But in the end, after thinking for a moment, she instructed Xingyu: "Xingyu, effective immediately, raise the priority of monitoring the entire Blue Star civilization to the same level as Lin Yi's personal monitoring. I need a more comprehensive report, including changes in its social structure, progress in technological recovery, and details of the global alliance's operations."

“Command confirmed, Master. Monitoring priority has been increased,” Xingyu replied.

　The previous chapter was reviewed again and I requested a manual review, but it might be a little slow because it's the weekend.
