Chapter 275: The Core of Civilization, Initiating Civilization—The Civilization of Universal Covenant
[Ding... Obtained high-value item — Civilization Shard]
"Sure enough, this is a Civilization Shard!"
His inner thoughts were confirmed.
Looking at the crystalline fragment emitting a five-colored flowing light in his hand, it would be false to say Yu Yuan wasn't excited.
This was the item all players most hoped to obtain, bar none.
Yu Yuan had naturally been paying attention to information about Civilization Shards for a long time.
A brand new civilization development system, a special evolutionary path, and unique civilization resources of one's own.
Every single change was enough to make an ordinary player stand out from countless others, becoming that figure who could stir up storms.
Even the Blood Clan and Wolf Clan, who were previously locked in fierce conflict in the Civilization Channel, had numerous members partly because the origins of these two races were actually two big shots at the Gold tier.
Those two big shots were the progenitors of the Blood Clan and Wolf Clan. They created two vast and powerful races. Beings at their level had already transcended the understanding of ordinary players.Their will was powerful enough to cross countless world barriers, influence concepts at the level of bloodlines and spirituality, radiating to all players and lifeforms within the lower-tier worlds of the Civilization Ladder.
And the hostility and hatred engraved in the bloodlines of the Blood Clan and Wolf Clan were inextricably linked to the enmity between these two progenitors.
Such existences were already no different from gods.
It was precisely because of this that the appearance of every Civilization Shard would cause a huge uproar.
Every player possessing a Civilization Shard who was exposed would receive the pursuit and followings of countless players, all wanting to latch onto a potential future powerhouse who could soar to the heavens.
[Special item detected — Civilization Shard, Civilization Event triggered — Restart Civilization]
[Civilization Event — Please activate the Civilization Shard to begin the path of civilization restart. Reward: Civilization Points × 100]
Looking at the prompt information on the Virtual Light Screen, Yu Yuan pondered for a few seconds but then ignored this prompt.
Instead, he directly opened the Book of Fate page. He glanced at the Civilization Shard in his hand, no longer hesitating.
He directly activated [Celestial Phenomenon — Aid of the Mysterious Gemini Twins].
What could possibly compare to the preciousness of a Civilization Shard?
Moreover, Yu Yuan really wanted to see if the mutual attraction between the Gemini twins mentioned in the Celestial Phenomenon card's introduction information was real.
[Celestial Phenomenon — Aid of the Mysterious Gemini Twins — Activated]
[Copying item — Civilization Shard, confirmed!]
Subsequently, under Yu Yuan's gaze, the [Celestial Phenomenon — Aid of the Mysterious Gemini Twins] card and the Civilization Shard in his hand established a connection formed from five-colored flowing light.
The Celestial Phenomenon card gradually changed, transforming into a Civilization Shard under the connection of the five-colored flowing light.
Yu Yuan watched everything happening before his eyes.
"So this is what's called copying..."
Yu Yuan now raised both hands, one holding the Civilization Shard above it, the other holding the Celestial Phenomenon card above it. The Celestial Phenomenon card and the Civilization Shard simultaneously began to levitate and rotate. During the rotation, the Celestial Phenomenon card completely transformed into an identical Civilization Shard.
But this wasn't the end. The moment the Celestial Phenomenon card finished transforming, Yu Yuan could feel a faint attractive force emanating from the two Civilization Shards.
Under his watchful gaze, these two Civilization Shards drew close, collided, melted, and solidified.
Finally, they turned into a teardrop-shaped crystal the size of a fist.
The instant this teardrop-shaped crystal appeared, the previous prompt information on the Virtual Light Screen flickered twice, and the content of the information had already changed.
[Special item detected — Civilization Core, Civilization Event triggered — Civilization Overlord I]
Civilization Event — Civilization Overlord I
Event Level: Gold
Danger Level: High
Introduction: Within every civilization ecosystem, there is a core civilization, and this core civilization is the Civilization Overlord.
It is not a simple expansion of territory, but the absolute centripetal force and radiation of civilizational energy — its systems, ideologies, technology, and culture.
It defines the order and discourse of the era; its laws become the standard. It is like a powerful gravitational source, assimilating, absorbing, and even reshaping surrounding civilization forms invisibly, making them orbit around it.
Becoming an Overlord means grasping the authority of civilizational narrative, elevating one's own historical logic to the shared destiny of the entire ecosystem. This is both supreme glory and ultimate loneliness — it must constantly face the dual pressures of internal rigidity and external challenges, maintaining that delicate balance at the forefront of history.
Its very existence is a footnote to an era, and the ultimate scale measuring the rise and fall of an epoch.
Requirements:
① Activate the Civilization Core and raise the shelter's ranking to first place on the current tier Leaderboard.
② Raise Civilization Points to 1000 points.
③ Kill at least three players possessing Civilization Shards.
④ Develop the progress of at least one Title Route to 100%.
⑤ Complete the above requirements and advance the Civilization Ladder to the Bronze tier.
Reward: Gold Civilization Treasure Chest × 1, Civilization Points × 500
——————————
The hand holding the Civilization Core tightened slightly.
"Civilization Core... Civilization Overlord..." A flash of excitement passed through Yu Yuan's eyes.
The gamble paid off!
The introduction information on that Celestial Phenomenon card really wasn't just random text.
And Yu Yuan's gaze towards the Civilization Core in his hand also became intensely fervent.
He no longer hesitated.
He immediately chose to activate — Civilization Core.
The moment he activated it, the Civilization Core began to emit dazzling light. Then, the entire flow of time and space seemed to stagnate.
The Civilization Core slowly rose to eye level with Yu Yuan and began spinning rapidly. It was then that Yu Yuan noticed the surface of this Civilization Core wasn't curved but composed of countless densely packed, randomly arranged microscopic facets.
Every facet was smooth as a mirror, reflecting strange scenes within.
There was the boundless azure deep sea, the coronal jets of a blazing star, a snow country train speeding across icy glaciers and snowy plains, endless mechanical tides, and also an abandoned ancient castle standing deep underground...
As his gaze shifted, Yu Yuan felt as if he was witnessing the epitome of countless civilized worlds, with myriad worlds constantly being born and perishing within.
Every scene seen in a facet was like watching an epic of civilization, grand and magnificent.
Just as Yu Yuan was about to immerse himself in these civilizational landscapes, the rotation speed of this Civilization Core became faster and faster, and the light it emitted became more and more dazzling, to the point where those scenes became blurry.
Finally, he only heard a soft "poof" sound.
The Civilization Core directly turned into countless sparkling dust particles, surging towards Yu Yuan and the Virtual Light Screen before him.
Countless flashback images appeared before Yu Yuan's eyes — civilizations rising, civilizations being destroyed, civilizations being reborn, civilizations advancing into the deep sea...
It was as if his consciousness instantly traversed countless worlds, ancient and timeless.
When his consciousness returned to the Rest Area of the shelter, the shock in his heart took a long time to subside.
And several prompt messages had already appeared on his panel, one of which was golden yellow.
