Bring Everyone from the Major Settlements Here!
[Honorable Guide, the Divine Firmament guidance you have received has temporarily come to an end. You may contact me at any time from now on!]
[During this precious Absolution Period, please lead your people to quickly improve their Instance Level. You are also free to spectate Instance battles between other planetary civilizations!]
[One month from now, once everyone on this planet except you has left the newbie protection period, the brutal Instance battles will begin!]
The Universe Arena will not tolerate any civilization!
As the Divine Firmament voice faded, lines of large characters began to appear on the star map in the sky above.
Those were broadcasts similar to those from the previous Firmament era.
This time, however, the broadcast scope has expanded from a small planet to the entire War Zone 102!
[Congratulations to the Azure Star Civilization for advancing to Level One Civilization and being successfully assigned to War Zone 102!]
[Congratulations to the Rocknos Civilization for advancing to Level One Civilization and being successfully assigned to War Zone 102!]
[...]
[Congratulations to the Demon Eye Civilization for successfully accumulating sufficient Star Yuan, advancing to Level Two Civilization, and leaving War Zone 102. All civilizations in War Zone 102, please applaud and cheer for them!]
[Unfortunately, the Kazi Civilization has been defeated in the Instance against the Azure Star Civilization and has been downgraded to Primitive Planet civilization!]
[Unfortunately, the Jellyfish Civilization has suffered consecutive defeats in the Instance battles, and its population has dropped below the Population Red Line, relegating it to Primitive Planet civilization!]
[Unfortunately, the total amount of planetary Star Yuan of the Jingchuan Civilization has been exhausted, making it unsuitable for the Instance competition in War Zone 102. It has been downgraded to Primitive Planet civilization!]
[Unfortunately, the Muxin Civilization could not withstand the pressure of the Instance and voluntarily chose to downgrade, now relegated to Primitive Planet civilization!]
[...]
Such dense broadcasts continuously appeared on the horizon.
The broadcast was more extensive than ever before.
Dark Forest? Chain of Suspicion?
It does not exist.
In this world, everything is transparent. From the moment you advance, all the civilizations in the entire War Zone are fully aware of you, and even your various statuses are fully understood.
There was nowhere to hide.
Lin Ye couldn't help but gasp.
A sense of pressure welled up inside me.
Actually, this Level One Civilization War Zone is not too bad. The worst outcome is that it will fall to the Primitive Civilization Stage, but at least it will not be directly destroyed.
At least I have an extra life.
He couldn't imagine how many civilizations perished in the Universe every second in that vast War Zone of primitive civilizations, turning into dust without anyone even knowing.
In addition to these text broadcasts, Lin Ye also discovered that the status of this civilization was displayed below each planet on the star map.
Some civilizations are displaying "[Under Amnesty]"
Some civilizations are in [Instance battles, the Instance is "XXXX"]
Other civilizations are displaying "[Resting...]"
It's crystal clear what kind of Instance each civilization is currently facing and what state they are in.
At the very top of the sky, there was also a leaderboard.
The ranking is titled "[102 War Zone Peak Rankings!]".
Opening this list will reveal the rankings of various civilizations in this War Zone.
[NO.1, the Machine God Star Civilization, the planet's strongest Instance "Core Storm", total civilization Star Yuan: 35 million Star Yuan!]
[NO2, Demon Pet Civilization, the planet's strongest Instance "Demon Mountain", total civilization Star Yuan points: 32 million Star Yuan!]
[NO3, Crow Civilization, the planet's strongest Instance "Endless Night", total civilization Star Yuan points: 31 million Star Yuan!]
[...]
The civilizations at the top of the rankings should be very close to advancing in terms of the required number of stars. For example, the current number one Machine God Star Civilization, has a full 35 million Star Yuan, but it has not yet advanced.
A general guess is that a promotion might require around 50 million Star Yuan, or even as much as 100 million.
The Azure Star Civilization currently has only 600,000 inhabitants.
Lin Ye is now finding it difficult to fathom just how challenging this will be.
However, perhaps because the Azure Star Civilization has a long history, although it has only recently been promoted to this War Zone, it is not at the bottom.
Azure Star is ranked around 80th in this War Zone.
[NO80, Azure Star Civilization, the strongest Instance on the planet, "Earth Online: Interstellar Age," total civilization Star Yuan: 600,000 Star Yuan.]
[...]
Of course, Lin Ye also took a general look and found that there were fewer than 100 civilizations in this War Zone.
While not at the very bottom, it's not far off.
After all, Azure Star has just been promoted and has not yet participated in the Instance war, so this ranking is only temporary.
As for those civilizations ranked lower, they may have already endured countless years of brutal wars, and their Star Yuan are naturally in dire straits.
Therefore, looking at this ranking alone is not very meaningful.
This also does not prove that the later civilizations are necessarily weaker than their own Instance.
To be honest, to some extent, this War Zone of 100 civilizations is actually more brutal than the previous Firmament Era.
Previously, at least there were more people and more Instance, so you could often rely on randomly getting a low-level Instance to survive.
There are also many times when some low-level Karami become invisible, and they are generally not selected by powerful Instance.
But in such a small-scale War Zone, there would be no survivors, and there would be no element of luck involved.
With this War Zone leaderboard in place, everything is transparent; no one can hide anything.
All the data about civilization is now exposed to everyone.
Lin Ye was certain that at this very moment, many planets were eyeing Azure Star and secretly regarding this newly advanced civilization as an ATM!
"We have to be quick!"
"Time is of the essence! A moment's delay could mean annihilation."
Although he had two months of Exemption Authority, the other Azure Star people only had one month.
This means that a month later, these people will be pulled into other civilization Instances to participate in the battle in the name of Azure Star.
Lin Ye even confirmed that once the one-month deadline arrived, various civilizations would be scrambling to recruit Azure Star into their ranks!
If the population killed by others decreases significantly, civilization will also decline.
So, he, as the emperor, can't afford to be anxious; he has to get everyone to be motivated.
He didn't expect all the Azure Star people to improve in a short time, but at least those few experts and strong individuals had to stand up as soon as possible!
Lin Ye took out his phone and dialed Long Yuan's number.
"Lin Ye... I... I'm still in a daze. I never imagined that the world would be like this after defeating Firmament."
"It all feels like a dream."
Long Yuan on the other end of the phone was clearly shocked as well, his voice became much softer.
"Elder Long, actually, everything is pretty much as you expected. Your observatory has guessed almost everything correctly."
"I'm sorry, you probably won't be able to retire anytime soon. We are facing an even greater crisis, and for the future of this planet, veterans like you need to continue fighting."
Lin Ye didn't stand on ceremony, because now was not the time for pleasantries and formalities.
"Due to circumstances, there is no turning back for our planet."
"Next, help me contact the former Commander of the major Settlements, as well as the top 10 Designers from the Hero Ranking."
"Have everyone assemble at the Federation Tower in the Central City of my Lin Ye Settlement first thing tomorrow morning! Also... from now on, the Settlement should have no further purpose."
"As Civilization Guide, I have arrangements for everyone to do!"
At this point, Lin Ye no longer needed to make excuses or be polite to these people, because there was simply no time for politeness.
Whether these people like it or not, he is now the de facto supreme Commander of Azure Star.
Only he can ensure the continuation of this planet; otherwise, entrusting its management to anyone else would only hasten the demise of this civilization.
As Civilization Guide, I believe the Commander of these Settlements would have no objections.
"Understood! Guide!" Long Yuan replied readily.
