Trading Cosmic Battleship From The Start

Chapter 271: You're Just Lying



It is actually very simple to maintain the "honesty" setting in the highest conference.

This is not some kind of high-end technology; instead, it is simply a fundamental one.

As early as when Shen Shi initially entered the trading market, he realized this ability, which could completely open up part of the "truth" within oneself, allowing others to feel it and verify its authenticity, rather than being some fake disguise.

It can be said that any intelligent life that clearly recognizes the existence of Primordial Energy can easily utilize this ability.

This is what Shen Shi often calls the "honesty button."

The button is in everyone's hands and is only useful to oneself. When you press it, everything you say, every thought you convey, originates from deep within you and receives others' recognition.

This miraculous ability, seemingly engraved into the nature of Primordial Energy and consciousness, is even considered a major reason for the rapid development of civilizations.

Because once a civilization reaches a certain level of development, hypocrisy and deceit begin to destroy it from within.

Imagine that.

When all the leaders of a civilization genuinely serve the entire civilization, and this power can spread from the top to the entirety, it seems understandable for the civilization to continue developing, continuously optimizing, and efficiently progressing.

At the very least, it raises the upper limit of civilization development to a certain extent.

B-level civilizations might not find it so easy, but C-level civilizations will see this future for most civilizations.

And precisely because of this fundamental ability, akin to a cosmic law, it is seen as an unchangeable fundamental rule, as if it were a cosmic truth.

So, even at the B9 Level, no one can make excuses on the "honesty button."

During Shen Shi's earlier negotiations with the Three-Day Civilization, both parties ensured that there were no lies or deceit in the trade.

However, in reality, Shen Shi witnessed its failure for the first time in history.

Even though he had seen this scene in the brief future prediction before, Shen Shi still felt a bit unbelievable upon seeing it in reality.

Emperor Ji really did it.

He pressed the "honesty button" and spoke lies.

Is this also a display of A-level civilization power?

Emperor Ji's words made many people turn their eyes toward Shen Shi, even some Primitive Human members began to suspect whether Shen Shi was the one acting against those three Standing Members—they were sure Shen Shi had the capability.

With the premise of initially being for Human Civilization, if Shen Shi truly did this, there would still be many people questioning Shen Shi despite the past thousands of years of authority.

After all, this is an unprecedented, groundbreaking era, and the transformation of the Sage Saint is not completely impossible.

And Shen Shi's silence seemed to also serve as a horn for Emperor Ji to continue attacking.

"Actually, ever since I delved deeply into the history of Human Civilization, I always felt strange," Emperor Ji's tone was as calm as Shen Shi's, "Why can you receive absolute trust from most humans? I'm not denying your achievements; without you, there would be no current humanity, that's undeniable. But isn't it strange? Your interests, your abilities, your reliance for achieving what you have accomplished is not the Human Civilization itself, but a mysterious and unknown 'Star Sea System' that no one except you has had direct contact with. Is it called that? In my view, you seem to unapologetically reveal your role as a spokesperson for another powerful force, so for the entirety of Human Civilization, how is your identity any different from mine? You have helped humanity for five thousand years, and I can help for the next five thousand years, even ten thousand years, fifty thousand years!"

This vast consciousness of Emperor Ji penetrated into everyone's hearts.

He made his doubts, his stance, clear and distinct.

Indeed, perhaps Emperor Ji is not truly human, but realistically, no one can guarantee that Shen Shi is truly human either. The mystery of Star Sea accompanies Shen Shi's power throughout the development of Human Civilization, and a large part of humanity's respect for Shen Shi stems from his repeated rescue of humanity, though the power with which he saves humanity comes from beyond humanity.

By that logic, Emperor Ji can do the same!

Under the system of the venue, everyone could clearly feel that some began to waver.

At such a developmental level, those with the status of a member, becoming one of the people with the greatest power in Human Civilization, are not merely "politicians," at least not purely "politicians." A politician solely concerned with self-interest and self-position cannot reach this status under the direct questioning capabilities of the mind.

But precisely because of this.

In front of the highest conference, the interests of Human Civilization and its future are the most optimal propositions.

Everything else must be secondary.

Naturally, this includes Shen Shi!

Emperor Ji understood this point clearly, which is why he had the confidence to become a Standing Member in such a short time beneath Shen Shi's accumulated five-thousand-year history.
