Run Away, This Civilization Is Cheating!

Chapter 172 Praying for His Salvation!

At this moment, many things that were originally incomprehensible seemed to have found their answers.

Why had the Life Mother Tree called for help, and why from other civilizations?

And why did the Life Mother Tree believe that a civilization far away, in a distant land, had the power to save them?

This was a civilization that also possessed gods, even more powerful than the Life Mother Tree they worshipped!

"Respected Alien God Envoy," Jokah had also put down the longbow in his hands at this time, his tone becoming very respectful, "please forgive my rudeness, we indeed received a Revelation from the Life Mother Tree, but were temporarily unsure of the Envoy's identity."

"No matter," Feng Ping also breathed slightly easier at this moment.

Although with the President's power, coupled with his own ability to escape, there shouldn't be any danger.

But he could also feel that the President was clearly placing some importance on the civilization of this planet.

Moreover, the information that had just been conveyed to him contained some utterly shocking details.

This planet's civilization actually had a genuinely existent god?

Life Mother Tree?

Combined with the diverse and powerful plants he had seen outside, Feng Ping seemed to grasp a point that the President cared about.

This made him feel tense once again.

"Now that you understand my identity, let's not waste time. I need to know some details about your civilization," Feng Ping directly said, "How many people are left in your civilization, how many Chosen Ones are there? Are they scattered, or gathered together?"

This was all very confidential and important information, but at such a time, it was necessary to see the resolve of the people before him.

Along the way, the Intelligent Group of the Global United Front had come up with different plans, and directly asking for important information after revealing one's identity was one of these plans.

The situation of this civilization was already very dire, and Human Civilization was bringing them Hope. If in such circumstances, they still harbored wariness and hesitated, unwilling to trust Human Civilization, then other measures might need to be taken.

Such as waiting until the order of this civilization fully collapsed before cleaning up the mess.

Feng Ping also worried that it might be this kind of reaction.

However, in response to his question, Jokah, who had just been very wary, did not hesitate at all.

"There are approximately two hundred million and ten million Senya people who have survived, with about eleven thousand Chosen Ones. All our people are dispersed in various places but have fixed living areas," he said.

"Only two hundred million and ten million people?" Feng Ping was somewhat surprised.

"We believe in the way of nature, and balance is one of the fundamental truths of nature," Jokah seemed to understand Feng Ping's reaction and explained, "Thus, when we realized that an excessive number of Senya would disrupt the balance of nature, bringing war, we opted for birth control, but each Senya has been excellently nurtured, most being outstanding priests or warriors."

Indeed, though the Life Mother Tree brought a shared faith to the Senya people and ended the hatred between different species and tribes, it did not solve the fundamental cause of the outbreak of wars—resource scarcity.

Unlike a technological civilization that could massively explode in productive forces, in this Extraordinary Civilization, the importance of natural resources greatly increased, limiting the path to the Extraordinary by environment and resources.

To reduce conflicts over resource distribution and to protect the balance of nature, the Senya people chose to control birth rates.

Over three thousand years, the population of the entire species kept decreasing.

Before the Civilization Trial opened, there were only over three hundred million people.

But as Jokah said, with ample resources, every Senya was an excellent priest or warrior.

They dispersed to cultivate various kinds of plants, driving the animals, maintaining the growth of nature and the Life Mother Tree.

Thus, the cold waves did not pose too much of a threat, and neither did the Undead.

Most of the Senya people could easily eliminate the newly emerged Undead, and they could even seek the protection of the Life Mother Tree in any place where its roots were present.

Of course, the Undead hiding in the Undead World would grow stronger.

This was perhaps why the performance value of this civilization ranked only fourth and not higher.

But while this part of the crisis had not yet erupted, the invasion from the Desert Tower Civilization caught them off guard, with heavy losses!

In less than twenty hours, it resulted in tens of millions of deaths!

"But our enemies hide in the high sky, afraid to fight face to face, only continually bombing with weapons!" Jokah said this, unable to conceal his immense fury and pain, "They burn the Mother Tree we worship and destroy the cherished nature we hold dear, even if giving up everything, paying any price! We will make them pay!"

At this moment, the rest of the Senya people also clenched their fists tightly, their eyes bloodshot, each person carrying an indescribable rage.

How could they not be furious!

This species put nature above all else and even reduced their own numbers to maintain the prosperity of nature.

The Life Mother Tree had been the cause of countless forefathers' dedication and sacrifice over three thousand years, the reason they could unite, and their greatest faith and hope!

Yet everything they loved and cherished was considered worthless in the eyes of the invaders!

The forests they treasured were burned in large swathes, animals that usually surrounded them moaned and died in the fierce flames, and the land full of vitality was filled with destructive nuclear radiation; even the blizzards and the cold that had not destroyed the Life Mother Tree, it too was now wailing in agony.

This pain and despair.

Even outsiders, with just a slight thought, could feel it somewhat.

Let alone themselves?

At this moment, Feng Ping firmly believed that if a Desert Tower Person appeared in front of them, even with copper body and iron bones, they would still be torn apart by the furious Senya people!

"The Desert Tower Civilization is indeed cruel and tyrannical," Feng Ping said after a moment of silence, "but also powerful. You might not fully understand the explosive productive capacity of the technological path in military terms, but the troops and weapons attacking you now might not even amount to half of the Desert Tower Civilization, perhaps even less."

These were not merely diplomatic words, but rather Feng Ping's personal lamentation.

As a young man with an active mind, he often read novels and watched movies, and naturally had his own views about the war that had erupted.

Not to mention the civilization level of the Desert Tower civilization, which was obviously higher than that of the Senya Civilization, the early advantages of the technological path compared to the Extraordinary Path were insurmountable.

Transcendence required a qualitative change.

Perhaps when these powerful Transcendents reached the third stage, especially after their Life Mother Tree reached the third stage, the situation would be completely different.

At least it wouldn't be like now, where they could only struggle in despair with limited effect.

However, there was no such "perhaps."

The other cruel aspect of the Civilization Trial also manifested vividly on the Senya Civilization.

Joka remained silent, then suddenly stepped back two steps, his four lower legs bending as he heavily knelt before Feng Ping.

"As a temporary Great Leader of the Senya Civilization, I pray to your civilization's supreme God, beseeching His salvation!"

It wasn't just Joka, the surrounding Senya people, after a moment of silence, also took the same action one by one.

They knelt on the ground, their heads bowed, praying to the unfamiliar God.

At this moment, they had given up many things they previously cherished equally.

Their dignity, their future.

However, in the face of survival, these things were inconsequential.

This included not only Joka but also all the Senya people present, who all clearly understood the reality before them.

The Life Mother Tree was wailing, heading towards death, countless plants were burning, withering, their people were dying off one by one, even the planet, once teeming with life, was dying.

The God behind the Divine Envoy before them was all their hope, as well as the hope recognized by the Life Mother Tree!

Faced with such a scene, Feng Ping also felt somewhat at a loss, even feeling a certain stirring in his heart.

"President?" He also instinctively called out to the President in his mind.

"Let me handle this." Shen Hao's voice appeared in his mind.

The next moment, Feng Ping's eyes once again shone with starlight, a powerful consciousness filled with suppression descended upon this place, not as oppressively massive as before, but more real, clearer!

All the Senya people trembled slightly, none daring to raise their heads, nor dared to make any sound, only lowering their heads deeper.

"Your misfortune lies in being too far from us and too close to the Desert Tower."

The grand voice resounded in everyone's mind, clearly using another language, but every Senya person could understand it.

"The Life Mother Tree has suffered irreparable heavy damage, new consciousness is on its last breath, your planet is also heading towards death, shadows of nuclear radiation sweep every corner of the planet, you have only two choices, face death, or bring the Life Mother Tree and join our civilization."

Yes, Shen Hao chose to speak frankly.

He had already gained a general understanding of this civilization, as well as the culture and customs of these Senya people.

There was no need for excessive rhetoric or deception; what he spoke was the reality facing the Senya people.

This planet that had been relentlessly bombed with nuclear weapons was indeed heading towards death.

And at this moment, just as Shen Hao's voice ceased, all the Senya people had not even had time to ponder when countless roots suddenly spread towards Feng Ping, another tender consciousness with cries once again seeking Shen Hao's consciousness came to this place.

"Save me!"

"It hurts so much!"

"Wuuwuuwuu."

"I don't want to die!"

"Please."
