Chapter 1157

Qian Sha said: "Let me put it this way: even the same kind of civilization can have many different origins. Take humans, for example: some civilizations are indigenous, rising step by step; some develop halfway indigenously then receive support from an advanced civilization and suddenly rise; others are seeded deliberately by an advanced civilization, covertly cultivated."

We need translation: Qian Sha said: "Let me tell you this, for the same kind of civilization, there are actually many different origins. For example, you humans, some civilizations are indigenous, rising step by step; some are indigenous halfway, then receive support from a higher civilization and suddenly rise; still others are actively seeded by a higher civilization, covertly cultivated."

Make sure to keep meaning, not add.

We'll produce: 【1】 Qian Sha said: "Let me tell you this, for the same kind of civilization, there are actually many different origins. For example, you humans, some civilizations are indigenous, rising step by step; some are indigenous halfway, then receive support from a higher civilization and suddenly rise; still others are actively seeded by a higher civilization, covertly cultivated."

Check we kept all info.

If your civilization knows the mythological stories of those few ancestors, then it's likely the second or third type.

We need to keep exclamation.

【2】 "If your civilization knows the mythological stories of those few ancestors, then it's probably the second or third type!"

The founder of your civilization, when guiding its birth, actively spread those mythological stories, making you believe they occurred in ancient times on your planet. In fact, they took place several million years ago, even tens of millions of years ago, and not on your planet at all.

【3】 "The founder of your civilization, when guiding its birth, actively spread those mythological stories, making you believe they happened in ancient times on your planet. But actually, that was several million years ago, even tens of millions of years ago, and it didn't even happen on your planet."

You consider yourselves descendants of the Primordial Ancestor Da Yi, but that may not actually be true. Still, as fellow humans, honoring Da Yi as an ancestor is not unacceptable. If you ever rise, you will also receive the Primordial Ancestor's protection, your civilization will be absorbed into the human world's domain, becoming a member of the great cosmos.

【4】 "You consider yourselves descendants of Da Yi the Primordial Ancestor, but that may not actually be the case. However, as fellow humans, regarding Da Yi as an ancestor is not unacceptable. In the future, if you rise, you will also receive the Primordial Ancestor's protection, your civilization will be incorporated into the human world's domain, becoming a member of the great cosmos."

Qian Sha said it sentence by sentence.

【5】 "Qian Sha said it sentence by sentence."

Xiao Feng frowned and said: "If you mean that, does it imply our Blue Star civilization might have been actively created by another human powerhouse? Then... who created our civilization?"

【6】 Xiao Feng frowned hearing that: "If you say that, does it mean our Blue Star civilization might have been actively created by another human powerhouse? Then... who created our civilization?"

Qian Sha said: "I don't know that. Creating a lifeform is extremely difficult, but establishing a civilization is simple; any controller can do it. Your Blue Star seems to have no supernatural life, so it's probably not a supernatural civilization. I think perhaps it was halfway indigenous, when a passing human controller came by, spreading civilization and myth to you, giving you a sense of belonging."

【7】 Qian Sha said: "I don't know that. Creating a lifeform is extremely difficult, but establishing a civilization is simple; any controller can do it. Your Blue Star seems to have no supernatural life, so it's probably not a supernatural civilization. I think perhaps it was halfway indigenous, when a passing human controller passed by, spreading civilization and myth to you, giving you a sense of belonging."

Any random controller can create a civilization...

【8】 "Any random controller can create a civilization..."

Xiao Feng was a bit dazed.

【9】 "Xiao Feng was a bit dazed."

Are controllers that powerful?

【10】 "Controllers are that powerful?"

If he had the chance to become a controller, wouldn't he also be able to casually create civilizations?

【11】 "If he had the chance to become a controller, wouldn't he also be able to casually create civilizations?"

As long as you encounter a group of primitives, you can lead them, educate them, then make up stories to tell them... that's your history!

【12】 "As long as you encounter a group of primitives, you can lead them, educate them, then make up stories to tell them... that's your history!"

Holy shit!

【13】 "Holy shit!"

Upon thinking that, Xiao Feng instantly felt... actually quite fun!

【14】 "Upon thinking that, Xiao Feng instantly felt... actually quite fun!"

No wonder...

【15】 "No wonder..."

No wonder I, Shen Chuo, and Han Zichen, though located in different regions of the universe, share very similar cultures.

Note: Shen Chuo should be rendered as Shen Chuo (pinyin) since it's a personal name not in the glossary; Han Zichen is already in the glossary.

Thus line: "No wonder I, Shen Chuo, and Han Zichen, though located in different regions of the universe, have very similar cultures."

【16】 "No wonder I, Shen Chuo, and Han Zichen, though located in different regions of the universe, have very similar cultures."

It turns out our civilization's ancestors might be the same group of people.

【17】 "It turns out our civilization's ancestors might be the same group of people!"

Many things arose in Xiao Feng's heart.

【18】 "Many things arose in Xiao Feng's heart."

The shock Qian Sha brought him was too great.

【19】 "The shock Qian Sha brought him was too great."

This shock is not a gain from the game level, but a cognition of the real world.

【20】 "This shock is not a gain from the game level, but a cognition of the real world!"

The real universe is much smaller than he imagined; actually, the distances between major civilizations are not that far, as long as one's strength is sufficient, even a span of billions of light-years of starry sky could be crossed in an instant.

【21】 "The real universe is much smaller than he imagined; actually, the distances between major civilizations are not that far, as long as one's strength is sufficient, even a span of billions of light-years of starry sky could be crossed in an instant!"

Thinking of this, Xiao Feng thought of another question.

【22】 "Thinking of this, Xiao Feng thought of another question!"

Azure Sky World!

【23】 "Azure Sky World!"

He frowned and asked: "Qian Sha, if a controller wanted to take revenge on me via Xian Xia... how long would it roughly take to reach my Planet?"

Xian Xia Planet

Thus: "He frowned and asked: 'Qian Sha, if a controller wanted to take revenge on me in Xian Xia... how long would it roughly take to reach my Planet?'"

Qian Sha was stunned: "Who have you offended? This question is hard to answer; controllers also have strengths and weaknesses—the weakest might not even be able to cross the universe in a lifetime, while the strongest controller can teleport several million light-years in an instant, crossing a cosmic country in a moment."

Thus: "He frowned and asked: 'Qian Sha, if a controller wanted to take revenge on me in Xian Xia... how long would it roughly take to reach my Planet?'"

【24】 "He frowned and asked: 'Qian Sha, if a controller wanted to take revenge on me in Xian Xia... how long would it roughly take to reach my Planet?'"

Xiao Feng said: "Azure Sky World and Zu Jian Xing probably have some grudges, right? I'm just asking; the current grudges should still have risen to the level of Xian Xia revenge."

Several million light-years cosmic country

【25】 "Qian Sha was stunned: 'Who have you offended? This question is hard to say; controllers also have strengths and weaknesses, the weakest might not even be able to cross the universe in a lifetime; while the strongest controller, a single teleport is several million light-years, crossing a cosmic country is just a moment.'"

Azure Sky World and Zu Jian Xing...

Zu Jian Xing Xian Xia

Thus: "Xiao Feng said: 'Azure Sky World and Zu Jian Xing... probably have some grudges, right? I'm just asking like that; the current grudges should still have risen to the level of Xian Xia revenge.'"

【26】 "Xiao Feng said: 'Azure Sky World and Zu Jian Xing... probably have some grudges, right? I'm just asking like that; the current grudges should still have risen to the level of Xian Xia revenge.'"

Azure Sky World and Zu Jian Xing...

【27】 "Azure Sky World and Zu Jian Xing..."

Qian Sha thought and said: "I heard from the controllers in my clan that Azure Sky World is a vast dimensional rift world with three controllers; the strongest is called Azure Sky God, reaching the peak of Stellar level, and the threat is not small. The other two are relatively ordinary, both Planetary level; as long as they're not driven to desperation, they probably wouldn't painstakingly cross the void to find you."

Stellar level, Planetary level, void

Thus: "Qian Sha thought and said: 'I heard from the controllers in my clan that Azure Sky World is a vast dimensional rift world, with three controllers; the strongest is called Azure Sky God, reaching the peak of Stellar level, the threat is not small. The other two are relatively ordinary, both are Planetary level; as long as they're not driven to desperation, they probably wouldn't painstakingly cross the void to find you.'"

【28】 "Qian Sha thought and said: 'I heard from the controllers in my clan that Azure Sky World is a vast dimensional rift world, with three controllers; the strongest is called Azure Sky God, reaching the peak of Stellar level, the threat is not small.

As for Zu Jian Xing... hehe, you don't need to worry about them; besides talking big, they can't do anything, so there's nothing to fear.

【29】 "As for Zu Jian Xing... hehe, you don't need to worry about them; besides talking big, they can't do anything, there's nothing to fear."

Xiao Feng said: "You mentioned Stellar level and Planetary level—are those the divisions of controllers' realms?"

【30】 "Xiao Feng said: 'You said Stellar level, Planetary level—are those the divisions of controllers' realms?'"

Qian Sha said: "Yes, Planetary-level controllers are like the God Kings in the game—powerful but with limited abilities. Stellar-level is even stronger, an exponential increase, as bright and strong as the sun, almost never falling. The Ancestral Gods in the game are actually not as strong as real-world Stellar-level controllers."

God King, Ancestral God

Thus: "Qian Sha said: 'Yes, Planetary-level controllers are like the God Kings in the game, powerful but with limited abilities. Stellar-level is even stronger, that's an exponential increase, as bright and strong as the sun, almost never falling. The Ancestral Gods in the game are actually not as strong as real-world Stellar-level controllers.'"

【31】 "Qian Sha said: 'Yes, Planetary-level controllers are like the God Kings in the game, powerful but with limited abilities.

The Ancestral Gods in the game are actually not as strong as real-world Stellar-level controllers.'"

'Are there even stronger ones?' Xiao Feng asked.

【32】 "'Are there even stronger ones?' Xiao Feng asked."

'Of course.' Qian Sha replied: 'Stronger controllers are called Eternal-level controllers—beings that can truly achieve immortality and long exist in the universe. Unless killed by same-level strong ones or the Primordial Ancestors, time hardly wears them down. Such strong ones correspond to the Venerable-level existences of levels 2000-3000 in the game. But actually, Eternal-level controllers are much stronger than Venerable-level bosses. Like the Earth Lord you just fought, in reality an Eternal-level strong one could wipe them out with a flip of the hand—basically nothing.'

Eternal-level Venerable, Earth Lord

Thus: "Of course." Qian Sha replied: "Stronger controllers are called Eternal-level controllers, beings that can truly achieve immortality and long exist in the universe. Unless killed by same-level strong ones or the Primordial Ancestors, time hardly wears them down. Such strong ones correspond to the Venerable-level existences of levels 2000-3000 in the game. But actually, Eternal-level controllers are much stronger than Venerable-level bosses.

【33】 "Of course." Qian Sha replied: "Stronger controllers are called Eternal-level controllers, beings that can truly achieve immortality and long exist in the universe.

But actually, Eternal-level controllers are much stronger than Venerable-level bosses. Like the Earth Lord you just fought, in reality an Eternal-level strong one could wipe them out with a flip of the hand, basically nothing."

Xiao Feng pondered.

【34】 "Xiao Feng pondered."

'Then going further up would be the Primordial Ancestor, right? That's the Dao Ancestor in the game.' he asked.

【35】 "'Then going further up would be the Primordial Ancestor, right? That's the Dao Ancestor in the game.' He asked."

Qian Sha nodded: 'Above Eternal is the Lord of the Starry Sky, which is the realm of the various clans' Primordial Ancestors. However, this realm is too hard to reach; although the material universe has existed for several tens of billions of years, only dozens of Starry Sky Lords have been born. They are undying and indestructible, freely roaming the river of time, able to go to the past and glimpse the future—almost omnipotent.'

Lord of the Starry Sky

Thus: "Qian Sha nodded: 'Above Eternal is the Lord of the Starry Sky, which is the realm of the various clans' Primordial Ancestors. However, this realm is too hard to reach; although the material universe has existed for several tens of billions of years, only dozens of Starry Sky Lords have been born. They are undying and indestructible, freely roaming the river of time, can go to the past, also glimpse the future, almost omnipotent.'"

【36】 "Qian Sha nodded: 'Above Eternal is the Lord of the Starry Sky, which is the realm of the various clans' Primordial Ancestors.

They are undying and indestructible, freely roaming the river of time, can go to the past, also glimpse the future, almost omnipotent.'"

Holy shit, that's so powerful! Xiao Feng was shocked.

【37】 "'Holy shit, that's so powerful!' Xiao Feng was shocked."

This is not just about strength; it completely transcends the biological level—even time can be freely manipulated.

【38】 "This is not just about strength; it completely transcends the biological level, even time can be freely manipulated!"

Past and future make no difference to such strong ones; in ordinary people's eyes the time dimension is irreversible, but to them it's like a rope on a flat plane—you can manipulate it however you like.

【39】 "Past and future make no difference to such strong ones; in ordinary people's eyes the time dimension is irreversible, but to them it's like a rope on a flat plane, you can manipulate it however you like!"

The Da Yi who shot the sun is exactly such a strong one.

【40】 "The Da Yi who shot the sun is exactly such a strong one!"

Strong ones of this realm do not exist solely in the game world. If the game has a Dao Ancestor, then the real universe must also have his manifestation. According to the rules they should be level 3000+, but actually nobody is just level 3000; basically they are above level 4000. Qian Sha said again.

3000 level, 4000 level

Thus: "'Strong ones of this realm do not exist solely in the game world. If the game has a Dao Ancestor, then the real universe must also have his manifestation. According to the rules they should be level 3000+, but actually nobody is just 3000 level; basically they are above 4000.' Qian Sha said again."

【41】 "'Strong ones of this realm do not exist solely in the game world. If the game has a Dao Ancestor, then the real universe must also have his manifestation. According to the rules they should be level 3000+, but actually nobody is just 3000 level; basically they are above 4000.' Qian Sha said again."

Xiao Feng had already been confused by all these realms, feeling his future path is too long—maybe he couldn't finish upgrading all those levels even in several lifetimes.

【42】 "Xiao Feng had already been confused by all these realms, feeling his future path is too long, maybe he couldn't finish upgrading all those levels even in several lifetimes."

If that's the case, isn't level 3000 a blank interval? He subconsciously asked.

【43】 "'If that's the case, isn't level 3000 a blank interval?' He subconsciously asked."

Qian Sha said: 'Not necessarily. Realm is realm, level is level. According to what I know, some creatures in the game, although their realm hasn't reached the Dao Ancestor level, their level exceeds 3000. If you encounter such a boss, the difficulty is also considerable—just like encountering an Eternal Peak strong one in the real world.'

Eternal Peak

Thus: "Qian Sha said: 'Not necessarily. Realm is realm, level is level. According to what I know, some creatures in the game, although their realm hasn't reached the Dao Ancestor level, their level exceeds 3000. If you encounter such a boss, the difficulty is also considerable, just like encountering an Eternal Peak strong one in the real world.'"

【44】 "Qian Sha said: 'Not necessarily. Realm is realm, level is level. According to what I know, some creatures in the game, although their realm hasn't reached the Dao Ancestor level, their level exceeds 3000. If you encounter such a boss, the difficulty is also considerable, just like encountering an Eternal Peak strong one in the real world.'"

Like that...

【45】 "'Like that...'"

Xiao Feng nodded, pondering.

【46】 "Xiao Feng nodded, pondering."

So speaking of it, the order of various strong ones from weak to strong in the real world and game world should be:

【47】 "So speaking of it, the order of various strong ones from weak to strong in the real world and game world should be:"

1. God King

【48】 "1. God King"

2. Planetary-level controller

【49】 "2. Planetary-level controller"

3. Ancestral God

【50】 "3. Ancestral God"

4. Stellar-level controller

【51】 "4. Stellar-level controller"

5. Venerable

【52】 "5. Venerable"

6. Eternal-level controller

【53】 "6. Eternal-level controller"

7. Eternal Peak controller / Venerable above level 3000, they are equal

7. Eternal Peak controller / Venerable above level 3000, they are equal

【54】 "7. Eternal Peak controller / Venerable above level 3000, they are equal"

8. Primordial Ancestor / Dao Ancestor, they are completely the same

【55】 "8. Primordial Ancestor / Dao Ancestor, they are completely the same"

In this ordering, the recently killed world boss is only at position 5.

【56】 "In this ordering, the recently killed world boss is only at position 5."

Moreover, it was only killed after being weakened by a factor of one trillion.

【57】 "Moreover, it was only killed after being weakened by a factor of one trillion."

Thus it can be seen, the god-level beings in the game are how tiny compared to true strong ones!

【58】 "Thus it can be seen, the god-level beings in the game are how tiny compared to true strong ones!"

And Xiao Feng...

【59】 "And Xiao Feng..."

Because of this outstanding performance, there is a chance that he will be summoned by the Primordial Ancestor and gain the opportunity to become a planetary-level controller!

If his talent is high enough and he works hard enough, perhaps after countless years he could also reach a higher realm!
