Chapter 558: Chapter 416: The Fifth Trial, Begin!_2 Chapter 558: Chapter 416: The Fifth Trial, Begin!_2 Indeed, five years later, the previously mass-produced war resources would become outdated.

They were originally intended for a massive war, but now, they were not only unnecessary, the technological development had not stopped; five years was enough for updating and upgrading.

“This trial is not so simple. We need a certain amount of patience,” Shen Hao’s voice remained steady. “The current stage of competition is not on the Legion, but solely on me. The situation with other civilizations should be similar–how to jump out of this ‘birthplace’ is the first major challenge we’ve encountered.”

Yes, although nothing had happened, that did not mean nothing was being done.

However, the only one within the entire civilization qualified to strive for this was Shen Hao.

He was still continuously deciphering the Law, looking for a way to jump out of this universe.

This was not an easy task. The universe, being a universe, had a structure whose strength and complexity far exceeded that of the world.

After all, any universe could support the concept of “infinity.”

“Yes, I will convey your will and carry out the related appeasement tasks,” Dong Gong responded and, without further disturbing Shen Hao, left the new Lingxiao Palace.

The related tasks were quickly communicated.

They mainly focused on the “Emperor.”

“The trial has already started, but this is a trial at the top level!”

“The competition on the civilization ranking list says it all.”

“We can’t do much at this stage, but at least, we cannot let the Emperor be distracted.”

“Obey the orders and do what we’re supposed to do.”

“The entire civilization needs patience; this is the Emperor’s will!”

…

Using Shen Hao’s name for propaganda naturally had a tremendous effect, quickly sweeping away those impatient, puzzled, or frivolous voices.

People’s attention began focusing on the civilization ranking list.

Unlike previous trials, in this trial, human civilization firmly occupied the first place from the beginning!

Even without activating any cheats!

Indeed, this time the cooldown time for the cheats was as long as three and a half years. Currently, human civilization hadn’t activated any cheats; not even the Chosen One cheats were used, but even so, the performance value of human civilization still ranked first!

This only indicated one thing.

In the domain of deciphering the Cosmic Law, Shen Hao’s ability surpassed all the trial civilizations involved this time!

It can be said that this gave all the trial civilizations, especially the newly joined ones, a tremendous boost of courage!

“The Emperor’s power is indeed in a class of its own,” said the Holy Spirit from the Contract Spirit Civilization, openly stating, “Although the Emperor’s performance value has not exceeded the second by much, considering the Emperor’s Extraordinary Level, this unique strength is clearly visible.”

Yes, Shen Hao was currently only at Level 61.

From this situation, it seemed that the strongest in other trial civilizations had likely already reached the Seventh Stage.

Shen Hao’s Level was certainly the lowest.

But he still obtained an undisputed first place.

His ability’s strength was indeed clearly visible.

So, they just needed to wait.

Under such propaganda, in the following time, the cohesion within the Human Civilization System was further strengthened. The faith belonging to Shen Hao in the [All Gods Hall] grew even stronger.

Until a certain moment, three years and two months into participating in the trial, the performance value of human civilization suddenly surged.

At this moment, in front of Shen Hao, the scenes beyond the universe were displayed before his eyes.

Language could not describe this chaos but beyond the universe was not dark and empty, but quite the opposite, filled with countless colorful streams of light, within which numerous images flowed.

There were people, objects, and even some extremely powerful presences with their barely visible forms, as if everything that existed within the universe had merged together to form this domain.

“Multi-verse, opened!” Shen Hao slowly exhaled a breath, his continuous research of three and a half years had finally borne fruit at this moment.

He glanced at the performance value and could definitively confirm that he was absolutely the first to step out of the “Newbie Village” among all the trial civilizations.

In this trial, human civilization had instead become the first to start!

However, this was also due to his own strength and the advantage of his talent ability style. How to maintain and expand this advantage was what mattered most.

“Meeting!” Shen Hao closed the multi-verse channel he had opened and quickly convened all the high-level officials of the entire civilization.

One by one, officials and warriors appeared within the Lingxiao Palace, and at a rough glance, there seemed to be tens of thousands of people, each emitting a powerful aura, barely resembling the ordinary civilization they once were.

Shen Hao, standing high on the Emperor’s Throne, looked around and finally set his eyes on the Holy Spirit.

It seemed somewhat unexpected, but more so, it was a surprise.

“You are about to break through.”

Indeed, the Holy Spirit had reached Level 60 earlier than Shen Hao, but was firmly stuck at the threshold of the Seventh Stage until now, when he finally made a breakthrough.

“I’ll need about thirty more years,” the Holy Spirit’s voice resonated in the hall, his tone quite relaxed, “But the rest is just a matter of time. We can use the Accelerated Secret Realm, so it will take just over a year.”

“Not bad,” Shen Hao nodded, “This trial is special. Having one more warrior at the Seventh Stage can offer many conveniences.”

At this moment, everyone focused their attention.

Three years had flashed by, yet the trial seemed as if it hadn’t started, and the tension and curiosity in people’s hearts could no longer be contained.

Shen Hao didn’t keep them in suspense, for this was the very purpose of convening this meeting.

“This trial is of a multi-verse form, which I believe everyone has already understood, but the key point is, most of the multi-verses in this trial follow highly identical cosmic fate laws–simply put, this is not an ordinary multi-verse, but a multi-parallel universe!”

The addition of the word “parallel” immediately enlightened everyone.

With the current level of human civilization on the Extraordinary Path, they naturally understood the significance of these terms.

Under normal circumstances, every individual, every civilization, every planet, even every tree, every flower, every leaf on a planet, is unique.

However, if viewed from the dimension of timelines, then every individual has countless versions of themselves.

Multi-parallel universes are precisely based on the theory of timelines.

In simple terms, it is because certain changes at specific time nodes lead the timelines in different directions, yet ultimately giving birth to a completely different, relatively independent, yet highly consistent new universe!

This is the multi-parallel universe.

In other words–in this trial, all universes differ only in their fates!

“Multi-parallel universes possess strong fate characteristics, we need to master fate, at least clearly understand the important fate nodes where timelines diverge,” someone immediately stepped out of the ranks and said, gaining many nods of agreement.

“We need to find some suitable universes for comparison,” another person added.

“Don’t forget the essence of the trial, there must be a great crisis sweeping across the entire multi-parallel universe.”

“Also, gather information on warriors, in the multi-parallel universe, one warrior is equivalent to countless highly similar warriors!”

“…”

The number of people speaking and discussing gradually increased.

Shen Hao did not continue talking, he had convened everyone not only to relay information but naturally also to harness collective wisdom.
