"It’s too hard."
Since the conclusion of the last civilization battle, Elder Bai had become a sensation. From a man once unknown, news about him suddenly filled the sky. Even stories about his long tenure as a security guard in Fengtian City’s Eternal Cemetery had been dug up.
It even became a motivational tale.
Look, an old man who spent his life as a cemetery guard could become the second strongest in the world. What else is impossible?
In fact, that’s how many motivational speeches are born.
What no one knew was that the old security guard was already an impressive supernatural being at the time; he just kept a low profile.
"It’s not too bad."
Elder Bai wasn’t arrogant, and of course, he answered with a happy smile, "If it weren’t for Miao, there wouldn’t be a current me."
He didn’t like flattery, even if there was no malice intended. Flattery could often lead to destruction, unintentional though it might be—it was troublesome.
So his usual method of dealing with it was to modestly accept the compliment and then praise others in return.
Diverting the spotlight.
As for Miao... He’s definitely not one to be afraid of being ruined by flattery. Miao just tested his combat power and, with the boost from that S-class suit, soared to a staggering "3.1 billion."
Officially entering the 3 billion combat power league.
It was evident that the suit of armor’s boost to Miao’s combat power was incredibly strong.
"..."
Chen Miao smiled and stayed silent. His rapid increase in combat power wasn’t due just to the suit, but also because he had tried every possible method to enhance his battle power during this period.
For example... enhancing the S-class weapon "Cup of Equity," spending a huge amount of Star Coins to buy enhancement stones, and maxing it out to +999 level.
Then collecting skills and props suited to him.
Like an item that could refresh cooldowns, which didn’t increase his combat power numbers, but in actual combat meant that he could fully unleash the power of his Cup of Equity twice, effectively doubling his combat power.
And so on.
He had tried every means to enhance combat power available on Blue Star, and together with the S-class suit, he barely improved by 7 billion combat power, from which one could see how difficult it was for ordinary people to boost their battle prowess.
If it weren’t for his Nothingness Space, his unique firearm skin, ample Star Coins, SSS-class props like the Heaven-Mending Stone, and so on—if even one element were missing, his combat power would not have reached such exaggerated levels.
A miracle.
It must be made up of countless small miracles.

Elder Bai looked towards Hungry Monkey: "I can take Hungry Monkey into the deepest dreamscapes once more; after this trip, he should reach 1 billion combat power. Are you ready, Hungry Monkey?"
"Already on standby!"
Hungry Monkey nodded his head with a serious face.
Another nine hours later.
Hungry Monkey slowly woke from the rocking chair beside him, glanced around, his eyes quickly regaining clarity, and without looking back, he headed straight into the nearby Combat Power Evaluation Secret Realm. When he came out again...
"1.18 billion."
An incredibly terrifying number that left everyone present somewhat disheartened. This time, the slumber was longer, lasting about 80 years in the dreamscapes—an exact number wasn’t guaranteed as it varied.
And those 80 years had raised Hungry Monkey’s strength value to nearly 60,000.
Almost 60,000 strength value was, frankly, a bit frightening.
As of now—
If Chen Miao wasn’t counted, Blue Star had two players with over 1 billion combat power.
Perhaps the Federal Government had been well-prepared; in less than half an hour, a player from the Bug Race who was an Insect Tribe Priest with over 1 billion combat power suddenly appeared on the Blue Star combat power rankings.
This Insect Tribe Priest was, of course, artificially created.
Built up with money.
Chen Miao himself had contributed 1 billion Star Coins, several powers added another 500 million, totaling 1.5 billion Star Coins, which allowed this Bug Race player to summon a sufficient swarm in the Combat Power Evaluation Secret Realm and achieve an astonishing combat power.
After the combat power evaluation.
The Star Coins were returned.
Chen Miao quickly received the 1 billion Star Coins that had come back. He wasn’t worried that it wouldn’t be returned; unless someone was brain-dead, they wouldn’t dare take Chen Miao’s money—it’d be bold, to say the least.
Meanwhile, in these 30 days, several players with maxed-out Lifestyle Occupations had also emerged.
Which meant...
The Blue Star Civilization was almost ready for another upgrade.
Almost the next second—
An upgrading sound echoed in the ears of all Blue Star players.
"Ding, congratulations to the Blue Star Civilization for meeting the conditions to ascend from C-level Civilization. The Blue Star Civilization is officially promoted to C-level. In 3 hours, the C-level Civilization Advancement Battle will commence. Successful clearance will confirm the promotion to C-level Civilization."
At the same time.
Chen Miao’s Civilization Milestone also changed.
-
"Prop Name": Civilization Milestone.
"Prop Level": C.
"Prop Restriction": None.
"Prop Effect": This Milestone can be infinitely upgraded; every upgrade brings an overall enhancement effect to the entire civilization.
The current Milestone level is C, with the effect that every player in this civilization will automatically receive 100,000 Experience Points upon leveling up.
The conditions to ascend to the next tier are for the highest Player Level to break through level 500, and the highest player combat power to exceed 2.5 billion.
