Changes to the Trial, Benefits, History, Civilization Ritual Artifact
At this moment, the Avatar recalled the conditions for unlocking the professional trials that he had previously found in "Galactic General Knowledge".
The "Management Measures for the Primitive Planet Professional Trials" stipulate that a professional trial phase will only begin after a clear assessment has been made that the intelligent civilization on the primitive planet has the basic ability to resist disasters caused by the trials and large-scale attacks by ferocious beasts.
Furthermore, a trial officer system was even differentiated from the original civilization's inspector system, specifically responsible for the Body Refinement. In other words, even if the conditions for a civilization to transition to a transcendent society are found, the inspector will no longer initiate the process, but will instead move on to the next stage.
The Avatar sighed, lamenting that their generation of human civilization had caught a good time.
This trial was initiated only when countries were relatively stable, even in the era of nuclear weapons, and ultimately, nuclear weapons were used as a safety net.
"It seems that if we were still using the previous Body Refinement, our human race on Blue Star would have started professional trials back in the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods, or even earlier, when alchemists and Qi Refiner had already emerged and touched upon the principles of law and the Heaven and Earth Qi. Given the conditions and productivity at that time, it would indeed have been difficult to cope with."
Gaoyang Zhenkong, who didn't know much about the primitive systems of the various Black Iron Human Race that had previously touched upon the extraordinary, asked with some surprise.
"According to Fellow Heavenly River Tianhe, the Qi Refiner and Qi refiners should be of the same lineage as your Heavenly Talisman Dao Foundation System, right?"
"I just don't know why you didn't continue developing these systems, but instead moved towards a technological society."
Regarding this question, the Avatar has his own speculation and understanding.
"The problem is that there were too few ancient cultivators who truly grasped the principles of law and the Heaven and Earth Qi, and this system required too much talent and comprehension."
"Even though I myself entered these professions through the professional stone, it was only by relying on theoretical knowledge developed over thousands of years that I embarked on the path to the extraordinary."
"Not to mention that ancient societies had low productivity, frequent social changes, and were extremely vulnerable to war, making it difficult to organize large-scale cultivation and research forces. These theories could only be passed down and developed from generation to generation through a small number of sects."
"In the last few centuries, material wealth has gradually increased, leading to numerous temptations. Very few people have been able to conduct in-depth research on these issues, which has resulted in the current environment."
"I was inspired by a large number of literary works, which led me down this path."
"Otherwise, the entire Transcendent System of human civilization might lean towards the Body Refinement and Martial Dao System that has developed in modern times, while other systems might lag behind."
The changes described by the Avatar also seemed rather novel to the Middle Tier.
After all, listening to the true founders' accounts and seeing the historical and social changes of intelligent life on other primitive life-bearing planets is more real and understandable, especially since they all belong to human civilization.
The subsequent bronze paintings depict stories that unfold after the transition to an extraordinary interstellar society.
From the first [Nether Principle Officiant] at the Initial Transcendent Stage, to the birth of the first Netherworld Artifact.
From the Middle Tier [Law-Establishing Priest] to the sacrificial artifacts, the Bronze Human Race, without a founder, traversed this path from the Initial Tier to the Middle Tier over a period of ten thousand years.
During this period, they also faced many difficulties. These included invasions by other higher-level civilizations, civilization wars initiated by civilizations of the same level, and even invasions by some strange and exotic beasts. Of course, they received help from the Gold and Silver races during this process, and later, with the stable emergence of Middle Tier beings generation after generation, they became a Middle Tier civilization and ushered in greater development.
As the number of Beginner Transcendent Stage beings gradually increased, they evolved into five complete and systematic branches: Suppression, Illusion, War, Spirit, and Soul. It took nearly 200,000 years for the Bronze Human Race to begin to steadily produce a large number of Middle Tier 3 powerhouses.
The group circled the entire bronze hall, observing the carvings.
They arrived at a drawing that was being highlighted.
On a bronze plaza, five Middle Tier 3 powerhouses with knowledge of the laws related to suppression, illusion, war, spirit, and soul gathered together to discuss with other Initial Tier- and Middle Tier beings the basic development path for the Bronze Human Race.
Over the next million years, they collected countless rare and precious materials and continuously refined and sacrificed them to create a High Tier artifact, thus establishing the Bronze Human Race's qualification as High Tier civilization.
Of course, this process was not without its challenges, especially since the beastman civilization, with whom they had a blood feud, requested the Galactic Transcendent Council to launch a civilization war.
They dispatched seven Middle Tier 3 experts to attack the area where the Bronze Human Race had been during their Middle Tier period. However, for them, who were skilled in crafting artifacts and bronze architecture, defense was a huge advantage.
The so-called civilization war is when two civilizations, after experiencing irreconcilable conflicts, apply to the council for a direct confrontation in order to eliminate the other side.
Of course, this application is not something that can be granted casually; otherwise, High Tier -level civilizations could easily annihilate weaker ones. Approval requires complex conditions such as both sides being of equal civilization level, having clear and irreconcilable conflicts, and not introducing forces exceeding the civilization's class. The process is conducted under the supervision of a high-ranking official.
"... Actually, if it weren't for the beastman civilization's attack on us, which unprecedentedly united the hearts and minds of the Bronze Human Race and allowed the [Supreme Beginning Yu Heaven Azure Spirit Ding], which had been being refined, to gather the will, fortune, and beliefs of our entire Bronze Human Race, the chances of success wouldn't be very high now."
Although the Orcish civilization that attacked them played a certain catalytic role, none of the Bronze Human Race present felt that the key issue was the war itself.
Instead, they felt honored to be part of the Bronze Human Race, to have defended against their attacks and to have crafted [Civilization Ritual Artifact].
Then came the birth of the [Supreme Beginning Yu Heaven Azure Spirit Ding], which, together with the adults from the Gold and Silver Clans, fought against the High Tier beings of the Beast Clan Alliance who attempted to interfere.
This High Tier artifact truly lived up to its name as a [Civilization Ritual Artifact]. Upon its creation, it possessed its own internal microcosm, which, after encompassing and protecting all the Bronze Human Race, completely rendered the opposing High Tier beings helpless.
Later, the Transcendent Council intervened and solidified the status of the Bronze Human Race High Tier civilization, after which they migrated to this Bronze Star Domain.
Having witnessed all of this, the Avatar gained a genuine understanding of the crises that civilization would face.
He then expressed his gratitude to the Bronze Human Race present.
"Thank you, seniors. Judging from the experience of the Bronze Human Race, the Beast Clan Alliance probably doesn't want to see yet another human civilization become High Tier civilization again. I think our Blue Star Humans should make plans as soon as possible."
Gaoyang Zhenkong smiled and offered words of comfort in a relaxed tone.
