Li Chen raised his eyes and looked at Motlais meaningfully. After staring at him for two seconds, he finally asked.
"Just to be safe, let me confirm this with you again, Motlais."
"Are you really sure we can handle a Trainee Level 5 Civilization?"
Li Chen could not be blamed for being so cautious.
After all, according to what he had learned before, a Galaxy Civilization at the peak of Level 4 could already wage a Galaxy War.
They possessed unimaginably vast energy resources and highly advanced technology.
As a Level 5 Civilization that ranked even higher than a Level 4 Peak Civilization.
Even if it was merely a newly promoted trainee little puppy.
Its strength was probably not something a mere Level 4 Peak Civilization could hope to challenge, right?
Hearing Li Chen voice his concerns, Motlais smiled and shook his head.
"You may rest assured, Mr. Li Chen."
"I have recently been studying the history of the former Earth Civilization and learned a fresh, interesting term: 'involution.' Mr. Li Chen, do you know what involution is?"
Motlais suddenly asked.
"Of course I do."
Li Chen nodded.
"The current situation is somewhat like involution."
Motlais immediately said upon hearing that.
And the moment he said this, Li Chen understood the general idea without needing Motlais to explain further.
However, Motlais continued speaking of his own accord.
"In the past, advancing to a Level 5 Civilization was not so troublesome. You probably do not know this, Mr. Li Chen."
"Oh? I really didn't know!"
Li Chen looked at him in surprise. Hearing this further confirmed the guess in his heart.
Motlais also nodded and continued explaining.
"In the past, many civilizations were still at low levels. Levels 0.1 through 0.9 were the most common, and everyone was starting from nothing."
