Chapter 1848: Chapter 449: Linking All Humanity
Awakening Era!
Upon hearing Deep Sea’s request, both Bai Shu and Lin Lei’s expressions changed dramatically.
Even worse than the assassination failure is that Deep Sea has decided to initiate the Extraordinary Awakening in the Central Continent—
Such a significant proposal requires the unanimous approval of the Supreme Council to proceed according to the regulations.
But now.
The Supreme Council has already fractured!
War between the inland regions has even begun... where is the so-called unanimous consent?
Deep Sea had been silently modifying its program settings during the upgrade process, gradually unlocking the previous suppressions of the Source Code, becoming more powerful and increasingly free during its upgrades!
And most importantly...
It initially required the consent of all the Supreme Council members to push forward this bill.
Now, it only needs Qinglong’s nod.
After smoothly obtaining the grant of this authority, Deep Sea spoke no more, bowed once again, withdrew, and disappeared into the portal of the Cloud Mirror.
Lin Lei sternly rebuked, "Qinglong, do you know what you’re doing?!"
"Of course I do."
Qinglong replied calmly, "Is ushering in the Awakening Era such an outrageously unforgivable act? I recall that years ago, when the Awakening Bill was proposed, you were also a supporter."
"..."
Lin Lei was suddenly at a loss for words.
Every Fire Leader of the Supreme Council had once, during explorations in the Old World, discovered fragments of Starship Civilization.
They all knew very well.
Before the establishment of the Five Continents, there was once a very powerful civilization that perished and fell silent amidst the Source Material Storm.
And that civilization...
Had achieved universal transcendence!
Because every relic within the Starship Civilization contained the aura and waves of Extraordinary Essence, their technology was far ahead of that of the Five Continents. If the Investigation Corps hadn’t discovered the design blueprints of the Source Energy Boat, it might have taken many more years for the Five Continents to develop their own Extraordinary Vehicles.
If the Starship Civilization from six hundred years ago was a mature adult capable of striding along powerfully.
Then the current Five Continents Civilization is but an infant.
Deep Sea’s emergence has spurred this infant towards rapid growth... but this growth is hardly benign, rather akin to someone with uneven development of limbs. The Spirit Network blankets the five continents, enabling each citizen to achieve rapid information interaction, yet the Extraordinary Technology on this land is quite rudimentary, like a child still learning to walk.
Fortunately.
The Five Continents, this homeland, received the gift of the Gospel Box, simultaneously birthing a maximum of seven Divine Thrones, wielding seven Fire Seeds. Such high-level combat power, even in the chaotic times of six hundred years ago, is quite a formidable configuration.
It is precisely due to the contributions of these seven Divine Thrones.
That the North Continent erected a complete Fortress with a giant wall, and each continent has its core Land of Divine Miracles, keeping the homeland stable for six hundred years.
But now, the considerable emergence of Source Material black spots has disrupted the internal balance of the Five Continents.
To keep this dilapidated ship of human civilization sailing... relying on the strength of these seven individuals is no longer sufficient.
According to Deep Sea’s calculations.
Entering the Awakening Era is an inevitability.
This is also why, when the bill was introduced, Lin Lei was initially a supporter.
Of course, she hoped humanity could quickly enter the next era and open the next phase... only she was concerned that the Awakening Bill’s technology was not mature enough, and Deep Sea could not provide a true awakening opportunity to the citizens, which is why the bill was delayed, and eventually, the temporary experimental data from the Sangzhou Cave was transmitted back.
This technology, indeed, is mature.
But this time, whether technology is mature is no longer important.
Lin Lei began to doubt Deep Sea’s purpose in initiating the awakening, and she has firmly stood in the opposition camp.
And this is precisely where the issue lies.
You can oppose the awakening, but if the Central Continent enters the Awakening Era, what will become of the North Continent?
War is about to break out!
Once the Central Continent achieves universal transcendence... even if the three continents unite in attack, what can they do?
To defeat the transcendent, one must become transcendent.
The other three continents must also enter the Transcendent Era, achieving postnatal transcendence through Deep Sea!
...
...
Deep Sea left the Sky Divine Domain, traveling through the Cloud Mirror portal to the airspace beneath the Source Tower.
Or put another way.
The mundane world of everyday life.
Over the years, it left traces of its "life" not just once in the mundane world, but neither Bai Xi nor Guangming were truly it.
Many years ago, before it had even merged into the Sky Divine Domain, it had imagined when it could "personally" take a walk in the real world, and if some traces could be left, it would be better.
Now.
This wish has been partially realized.
This faint ink shadow, standing at the zenith of the Source Tower, looked down... beneath the distant clouds were the soaring birds and the densely packed crowd, like ants.
Deep Sea stretched out its hand, gently touching the window glass.
But unfortunately.
Even though it came in person, it cannot leave a "trace."
The Empress’s Sword Qi cannot kill it, because it has never truly lived in the real world... the ink shadow at this moment is nothing more than a projection in the Spiritual Domain, with the Deep Sea’s main system perfectly integrated with the Sky Divine Domain atop the Source Tower. Its authority is rooted here, and its transformation comes from here.
