Trading Cosmic Battleship From The Start

Chapter 269: Sure Enough, Cheating is Still Necessary



In this cosmos with advanced Primordial Energy Technology, determining one's race is not based on genes, nor appearance, but rather the Consciousness World formed within one's own consciousness.

It contains an individual's cultural identity.

For some lower-level civilizations, changing one's cultural identity, altering the composition of the Consciousness World, is almost impossible.

Therefore, one's race cannot fundamentally change.

Otherwise, countless individuals would be frantically trying to escape their weak civilizations and embrace powerful ones. No matter how strong a civilization is, it would definitely have a demand for the number of its individuals, forming a spontaneous trend of flow.

However, the Primordial Energy Consciousness World prevents this situation.

The ability to change one's cultural identity is not simple, even within the realm of B-level Civilizations.

Otherwise, races like Iwen wouldn't be so rare.

Even if these B9-level Civilizations could use means to massively change their cultural identity, it wouldn't be simple for individuals. It's akin to issuing a command from above and having the citizens below betray their country without question or reservation, becoming traitors to their original nation.

Not to mention high-level civilizations betraying to join lower-level civilizations, even lower-level civilizations joining high-level civilizations is hard for many to accept.

This is how it is for the mere ten percent population left in human civilization at present.

It can be imagined how agitated the mood of these numerous individuals from B9-level Civilizations, even nearly A-level Gus People from the Solar System, must be at this moment.

Even powerful Primordial Energy Mastery cannot suppress this unrest.

For them, they are merely obeying the arrangements of the civilization's upper echelons, stationed in the Solar System to capture an extraordinarily powerful Relic Device, nothing more, and were not supposed to betray their original civilization to join such a weak human civilization.

Accompanying this, chaos is beginning to appear throughout the Solar System.

As the center of chaos.

Humans have undoubtedly become the target of everyone in this chaos.

"In just a few months, more than a hundred thousand Primitive Humans have suffered casualties in clashes with other foreign humans..." reported the councillor responsible for civil affairs before Shen Shi.

Do not underestimate this hundred thousand; know that the surviving number of humans is already very scarce, mostly gathered in their residences, and with the current highest rule in the Solar System being human laws, intentionally harming others means severe punishment. This is a confirmed reality in the superstructure, without any wavering.

Under such circumstances, this degree of conflict still arises, illustrating the chaos's extent.

Know that even the weakest humans are truly B-level Civilizations.

The quality of individuals is unimaginable to lower-level civilizations.

The average Primordial Energy Mastery advocated here ensures that emotions won't get out of control.

This means all conflicts occur only after careful consideration has determined they are unavoidable.

Shen Shi hasn't seen a major deviation between individual will and civilization's will for a long time and has long been accustomed to strict command during his lengthy tenure governing civilization, as if everyone within the civilization becomes a component in a precision instrument, maintaining the vast yet precise, efficient, and unified operation of the civilization.

"All those breaking the law are to be dealt with according to the law." Shen Shi issued the order.

"Yes!" The councillor received the command and left.

But it took less than ten minutes for him to return.

"Councillor Shen." His consciousness carried a sense of helplessness, "Your order has entered the freeze procedure, proposed by Councillor Emperor Ji, who believes human civilization is currently in a special period, reaching the standard to activate special period laws, necessitating an amendment by the highest council."

Shen Shi's expression did not change.

In fact, he could easily see the chaos at this moment was influenced by the likes of Emperor Ji behind the scenes.

It's understandable.

According to human law and culture, murderers will have their lives stripped away, and severe cases may even be turned into Primordial Energy Batteries for a certain number of years, enduring the pain of consciousness. Under such strict highest laws, even if some were prepared to flee to the cosmos and become wanderers, the number wouldn't reach so many.

It must be due to the upper echelons' wavering affecting lower-level analysis and decisions.

However, he temporarily cannot fathom the reason for doing so.

The purpose of Emperor Ji and others is evident: to quickly gain the highest authority in human civilization, but without altering human civilization's culture, they must garner the support of the vast majority of existing Primitive Humans, because clearly, those who have only nominally joined human civilization and have yet to change their cultural identity cannot gain recognition from the Holy Land, which does not help Emperor Ji and others' ultimate goal.

So theoretically, what the others should be doing is not intensifying the chaos in human civilization but stepping forward to quell such chaos.

Even further, they should comfort the Primitive Humans.

But what is being done right now...
