Chapter 215: Chapter 151 I Help You Buy Time_1
“Senior Yano of the Gaia civilization?”
Jiang Chen was even more surprised when he heard Lan Yi’s words.
Other civilizations’ mecha pilots shouldn’t be aware of Senior Yano’s experiences on Planet Blue Star, so he had no doubts about the identity of this mecha pilot.
The key point was that with so many civilizations and mecha pilots, he was matched with a hope candidate from the Gaia civilization on his first try, and he was furthermore recognized…
Wasn’t that too much of a coincidence?
“The matching mechanism of the Legendary Shadow isn’t purely random… Otherwise, if two opposing civilizations were to be matched as teammates, they would have to fight each other before even challenging the Abyss Overlord,”
“Gaia and Planet Blue Star are co-combusting civilizations, sharing a deeper connection with each other.”
“When pairing teammates, they enjoy the right to form teams first.”
Lan Yi guessed what Jiang Chen was thinking and spoke.
“Naturally strong first-generation hope candidates are rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns.”
“I heard about you from Lord Yano, so I tested a little and never expected it really would be you…”
As Lan Yi spoke, he was even more astonished.
According to Lord Yano, Planet Blue Star had just recently crossed the abyss.
How long had it been since that event, and they had already become a level 2 civilization and acquired the rights of the Legendary Shadow?
Moreover, as a first-generation hope candidate, Jiang Chen had a twentyfold strength bonus at 1st Rank, far exceeding his peers.
Now it seems…
You’re telling me it’s twenty times!!?
Lan Yi’s own talent, “High-Efficiency Charging,” was also a twentyfold strength bonus!
Combined with mecha pilot traits, he could only achieve a normal strength of 1.4 million and barely manage to fight 5th Rank difficulties of the Legendary Shadow, mixing with the big players…
Jiang Chen, however, could directly have more than 2.4 million in normal strength and become a leading big player.
Everyone has twenty times the bonus, but can the gap be this huge?
This is neither scientific nor abyssal!
Of course, confusing as it might be,
Lan Yi naturally felt a closer connection to Jiang Chen after learning of his identity.
When Jiang Chen asked about the gameplay mechanics of the Legendary Shadow’s copy, the Purgatory level, and information related to civilization level, Lan Yi readily explained.
The mechanics of the Legendary Shadow’s copy were pretty much as Jiang Chen had guessed, summed up in one sentence:
Weak ones leave, strong ones push through systematically.
The more players required by the Legendary Shadow, the more complex the mechanics, requiring more exquisite cooperation.
As for the solo Legendary, the mechanics were simple, but the difficulty was all added to the strength required.
Jiang Chen had sufficient strength, and after briefly hearing about the mechanism of this Prehistoric Winged Fiend, he skipped over it and focused on the settings of the Purgatory level and civilization level.
“As for the Purgatory level, it’s an authority that can only be unlocked by a level 3 civilization.”
“As for what it specifically represents, it’s rather hard to explain in just a few words…”
Lan Yi pondered for a moment before asking.
“Lord Yano must’ve told you about the abyss theory, right?”
“The one about the long night and the fire.”
Seeing Jiang Chen nod, Lan Yi breathed a sigh of relief.
“Then it’s much simpler.”
“You should know that the abyss contains countless civilizations from different universes and planes, not belonging to the same starscape…”
“They should be at similar distances from each other and never interact.”
“Thus forming the Endless Abyss.”
“But the existence of Abyss Runes and disaster traits has changed everything.”
“The former includes traits such as [Fire Transmitter] and [Co-Combuster].”
“The latter, after becoming powerful, concurrently affects multiple civilizations.”
“These things can bring the civilizations closer together, increasing the connections between them.”
“It’s like bringing together scattered flames to rekindle a fire, illuminating the night together, as well as sharing the disaster.”
“When a large number of civilizations come together, they form what’s known as [Abyss Levels] within the abyss.”
“Civilizations belonging to the same [Abyss Level] have a closer relationship and more frequent exchanges.”
“When a major disaster emerges, these civilizations must also work together to combat it.”
“And the name of the most terrifying disaster encountered by many civilizations at the moment will become the codename for the [Abyss Levels]—”
Lan Yi said.
“The [Abyss Level] we are currently in is called the Purgatory level.”
“This is because the major disaster we’re facing is named [Infinite Purgatory], which is currently being fought against by the Divine Lord, Ancient Eon, and Bluegreen Deity — the three most powerful civilizations in our Purgatory level.”
Jiang Chen finally understood the meaning of the Purgatory level.
At the same time, he felt somewhat puzzled.
If the Divine Lord Civilization was already one of the strongest in the Purgatory level,
how could they trade with the Rebirth Civilization to obtain the qualifications for rebirth?
Indeed, was that little Fire Plunderer full of lies?
Until Lan Yi continued to explain, Jiang Chen finally understood the reason.
“[Abyss Levels] are divided by disasters and are numerous; civilizations can move between them and communicate…”
“This was also the initial way different civilizations in the abyss exchanged before the trait of the Fire Transmitter appeared.”
“However, only higher-level civilizations have the privilege to enter and exit other [Abyss Levels].”
“Our Gaia civilization is a level 3 civilization, barely having the privilege to enter [Abyss Levels] and can only operate within the Purgatory level…”
Jiang Chen nodded slightly.
This explanation made things clear.
Now that he understood what the Purgatory level was, he asked the most concerning question.
“What are the specific requirements for upgrading civilization authority?”
“…The method to upgrade civilization authority is extremely valuable knowledge in the Purgatory level.”
“Only methods to upgrade levels below 4 are considered basic knowledge and can be easily obtained, but our Gaia civilization doesn’t know about the authority for levels 5 and above…”
“To upgrade to Level 3 Authority, there needs to be more than ten thousand civilization members who have crossed the abyss, and Civilization Potential must exceed one hundred, awakening new civilization traits.”
