Chapter 2059
Chu Zhibo replied, "The most advanced civilizations in the universe have already reached level 12 technology, but it's said that once technology exceeds level 8, the differences aren't that big, because ordinary people basically can't access it; only those at the level of controller or above can experience it. Our Earth civilization currently averages about level 8, with navigation technology reaching level 10, allowing easy travel and shuttling through the universe. Additionally, superhuman evolution is also decent, also at level 10."
Biological evolution is likewise an important factor in civilization ranking; the number of cultivation methods, the number of superhuman lives that have emerged, and whether controllers appear are all important criteria for evaluation.
Although Blue Star has a controller like Xiao Feng appearing, the number of superhuman lives is still small, and cultivation methods and cultivation environments have only just begun to improve a few years ago, so in this regard it can still be considered primitive.
While speaking, the two had already arrived at the ground.
This city is essentially a port, with docking wharves occupying over 70% of its area; the whole city's main function is receiving extraterrestrial visitors, so the resident population is not large—aside from the necessary customs facilities, it's just where the staff live, and given that it's currently off‑season for tourism, overall it feels quite deserted.
Xiao Feng followed Chu Zhibo around a few places, getting a sense of the local environment and tourism process.
Normally extraterrestrial visitors would have to register their origin, but as he is a controller, he doesn't need to go through all that.
Powerful individuals always have privileges in any era, especially the very strongest.
Although Xiao Feng hasn't yet joined the absolute top tier of the whole universe, at least in the Earth environment he is among the top five experts!
Spent one
One hour touring the 'Starport', Xiao Feng saw many strange new things, such as low‑flight transportation tools, immersive advertisement videos, consciousness communication sensors, wearable exoskeletons capable of lifting a building, etc.
These aren't particularly rare for Earth people; ordinary civilians can access them, they are mostly 6‑8 level tech products, only the consciousness sensor is relatively more advanced.
After touring one place, Chu Zhibo suggested going to the neighboring "Guanghan City" for some fun.
Upon mentioning Guanghan City, Xiao Feng naturally thought of the legendary myths of Guanghan Palace, and immediately afterward he associated it with the nearly identical historical backgrounds of two planets.
Then he suddenly realized that his communication with Chu Zhibo had been completely unimpeded the whole time, without needing any translation!
They were speaking the same language!
This is two different planets, after all!
Realizing the issue, Xiao Feng couldn't help but ask, "Chu Zhibo, the language we're speaking now……is it very popular in the universe?"
Chu Zhibo blinked, then replied, "Huh? If you hadn't said anything I wouldn't have noticed—we're speaking Chinese!"
"Exactly……"
"Um……if we're talking about popularity, it can't be called very popular. As far as I know, civilizations using the Chinese language number only over thirty thousand planets, while humanity's six major cosmic nations have 2.36 million civilized planets; in proportion it's tiny. The mainstream language originates from the 'Primordial Star'—the Primordial Divine People's language—generally just called the 'Common Language'." Chu Zhibo explained.
"Over thirty thousand planets, and the proportion is actually less than 2%……"
Xiao Feng felt a bit dazed.
This universe is really prosperous, strange.
Cannot have 6.7 million+ war zones in the game.
Just the number of planets with human civilization exceeds 2.36 million; one can imagine how exaggerated the total number of civilizations in the universe is!
He then thought of another question and asked: "In my impression, the language spoken by the Blue Star No. 1 civilization is the same as ours; they aren't the strongest core region of human civilization, are they? How could they not be able to influence the entire universe?"
Chu Zhibo shook his head and said: "I'm not sure about this. As for the prevalence of language, it's said to be determined by the time a civilization was born. The Chinese we speak originated from the Kyushu world, but the Kyushu world doesn't seem to be the oldest human civilization."
"If that's the case, is Taigu Star even older…? That's somewhat interesting; I'll ask Senior He later." Xiao Feng felt a bit interested.
Human civilization is the protagonist of this universe's growing era; its development so far hasn't been very long, and it cannot even be compared to the ancient races like the Heavenly Gods and the Evil Realm.
But even if it's just the youngest civilization, for Xiao Feng, who is only in his twenties, it is still an incredibly long ancient history.
At least ten million years should have passed!
Xiao Feng and Chu Zhibo took a flying vehicle to Guanghan City.
For his experience, Chu Zhibo specially summoned the VIP-level starship used by the starport to receive distinguished guests.
This starship's power system is not very high-end, so it cannot undertake interstellar travel.
However, making round trips between Earth and the Moon is no problem, and its speed is adequate.
Guanghan City is the first city on the Moon, with a history of 4.45 million years, older than the civilization history of Blue Star No. 8.
The city's permanent population is about 400,000, which isn't many, because living on the Moon, actually there is no
living comfortably on Earth.
The people living here include those on vacation, those working, and some who come to cultivate.
The Moon lacks an atmosphere; the artificial atmosphere is only a few hundred meters thick, so the sunlight and radiation received are far stronger than on Earth's surface.
For the evolution of superhuman life, absorbing sunlight is one of the main paths; therefore, many humans who have reached the elementary stage of superhuman life, after becoming wealthy, will go to Guanghan City and the neighboring 'Xinyasia City' to settle long-term in order to pursue a higher realm and facilitate their power growth.
Xiao Feng kept a low profile; although Chu Zhibo was showing him around, he did not disturb the residents of Guanghan City.
While touring the world of extraterrestrial civilizations, he also learned about many things and legends on Earth.
What interested him most was still the Kyushu world.
Chu Zhibo initially took him to be a Kyushu cultivator, precisely because Earth and Kyushu are close, making travel convenient.
There are two connection points between Earth and the Kyushu world: one on Mount Kunlun on Earth, and the other on the far side of this Moon.
It is said that over the past several million years, Kyushu cultivators have more than once left that world to come to Earth to travel and play, and Earth's powerhouses have also entered the Kyushu world multiple times, under the guidance of the masters, to go to places where many strong gather for training.
However, Chu Zhibo himself has lived over a hundred years, yet he has never personally seen the Kyushu world.
Because the number of times the interworld junction opens is actually very low—over several million years there might be a few hundred openings, but on average it's once every ten thousand years—for ordinary people, and even for superhuman life, it is
very long.
Nevertheless, Earth people still yearn greatly for Kyushu.
On Earth there are countless legends of the Kyushu world—Fuxi, Da Yi, Da Yu, Chiyou, Xuannü, Yinglong… these well-known mythological figures have all had their traditions passed down, forming many schools of cultivation.
For example, Chu Zhibo's superhuman cultivation method is derived from the Chiyou lineage's 'Demonic King Sovereign Body Technique'.
This may sound like a demonic path technique, but it is actually a legitimate gene evolution guidance method, of high quality, and can be practiced all the way up to the ruler's realm.
Chu Zhibo is also quite talented; otherwise he wouldn't be able to hold this position.
He gave Xiao Feng a lot of useful information, which helps in understanding Earth.
About three hours later, Xiao Feng finally parted from him, preparing to go to Earth himself for the next leg of his journey.
But before leaving, he also couldn't forget to give a gift to that 'junior' who had played with him for four hours.
