Civilization must cross the abyss?

The meaning of the symbol of the alliance is…

Because no one from Planet Blue Star has yet to conquer the Age-Old Shadow at the abyss difficulty level, the upper limit of mecha pilots has been forcibly locked at 8th Rank?

Jiang Chen finally couldn’t control his emotions and looked astounded.

Li Xiao sighed.

“We do not know the past of the abyss, nor the purpose of the Abyss Runes.”

“If all this is a trial or even a game of a higher civilization…”

“Clearly, only civilizations that conquer and defeat the abyss difficulty level are truly holding the ticket to enter this game.”

“At present, Planet Blue Star has not done this.”

“Therefore, all mecha pilots are locked at the 8th Rank.”

“This is the current limit of Planet Blue Star.”

Li Xiao paused for a moment,

giving Jiang Chen some time to digest the information.

Then he continued.

“That’s why I said, you are the future.”

“We, the older generation of mecha pilots, have completely exhausted our potential after reaching the 8th Rank.”

“Even if there is an improvement, it is quite limited and very difficult to make a great breakthrough and overcome the abyss difficulty level.”

“Only you rookie mecha pilots have unlimited possibilities and hold the hope to defeat the abyss.”

“And only you can possibly help civilization forge a new path and obtain the true entry ticket.”

Jiang Chen finally understood why the Symbol of the Alliance placed such great importance on rookies, on the order of Planet Blue Star.

The former not only represents the future of civilization but also symbolizes the path ahead for mecha pilots.

The latter provides the necessary soil for the emergence of new mecha pilots.

After all, the appearance of Abyss Runes is uncontrollable.

Even though survivors of abyss monster attacks have a high probability of awakening an Abyss Rune…

But the event of an abyss monster attack itself is equally uncontrollable.

Even if Xuntian City conducts real-time monitoring in space, it can only just barely detect signs of an abyss rift’s appearance.

The Symbol of the Alliance changed the chaotic situation and established a real-time rescue system.

It was to save more survivors and increase the number of mecha pilots’ awakenings.

Thereby indirectly increasing the odds of producing “geniuses.”

All of this is interconnected.

But…

Jiang Chen looked at Li Xiao in front of him and sighed inwardly.

In fact, a potential super genius who might have conquered the abyss difficulty level appeared on Planet Blue Star more than a decade ago.

It’s just that some mecha pilots blinded by greed seized his power,

forcibly pressuring him to abandon accumulating his foundation for a rapid breakthrough.

In the end, he succeeded in his revenge and suppressed an era, but was also locked at the 8th Rank.

If it weren’t for that,

Li Xiao would definitely be capable of soloing the hell level and even crossing the abyss to obtain Planet Blue Star’s ticket to a higher level.

No wonder when he killed five 8th Rank mecha pilots and destroyed five organizations,

other 8th Rank mecha pilots did not make the slightest move to intervene.

It’s likely that those 8th Rank mecha pilots also thoroughly detested those extremely selfish individuals.

For the sake of a mere supercharge module, they foolishly squandered the future of civilization.

Upon catching Jiang Chen’s gaze,

Li Xiao seemed to know what he was thinking and shook his head.

“It’s all in the past now; it’s your era.”

“As an elder predecessor, all I can do is create an environment for you to grow, and that’s sufficient.”

Jiang Chen was momentarily speechless, looking at the man in front of him with immense respect.

Just by establishing order and reshaping hope for civilization in the past decade, he is truly worthy of the title of the Symbol of the Alliance.

Perhaps he couldn’t forge a new path for civilization anymore,

but he had also smoothed the road for the next generation.

As a successor, Jiang Chen didn’t have much he could do,

except to meet the expectations of the other party and break through the abyss!

Jiang Chen did not speak further and directly asked the most critical question.

“Boss, how difficult is the Age-Old Shadow at the abyss difficulty level?”

“Extremely difficult.”

Li Xiao answered as if he had done so a thousand times before.

“The final boss of the 1st Rank hell difficulty level usually has a highest attribute of over three thousand five hundred, with the rest of the attributes close to three thousand.”

“This is already a number that is difficult to reach with all modules of a 1st Rank mecha fully supercharged.”

“The final boss of the abyss difficulty level is much stronger!”

“The attribute values at least double, with mastery of even more skills and powers…”

“As for whether there is an even more advanced final form…”

“I don’t know.”

“Back then, I was not qualified to confront them, nor could I force out a stronger form, only managing to forcefully escape the abyss.”

The highest attribute is seven thousand?

Jiang Chen contemplated.

His current defense attribute has already reached 4699 points.

According to the growth rate of 660 each time, after consolidating four more times, he could surpass 7000.

As for skills…

Absorbing “Touch of Extreme Cold” four times, skills with 12x supercharge, plus the bonus from the Weapons Master.

Let’s compare and see whose skills are more formidable?

The abyss difficulty level…

Doesn’t seem that deep after all.

It’s just a short way to the bottom.

Li Xiao looked at Jiang Chen and said,

“The difficulty of the Age-Old Shadow grows with each level.”

“This growth rate can even exceed that of a mecha pilot.”

“Many S-class geniuses can easily conquer the nightmare difficulty level of the Age-Old Shadow on the first level.”

“But by the second and third levels, it becomes increasingly difficult.”

“By the time we reach the fourth or fifth floor, we can’t proceed alone anymore; we must form a team to clear the nightmare,” he said.

“The abyss difficulty is the same.”

“On the first floor, the difficulty is the lowest, but the subsequent increase in difficulty becomes more and more terrifying.”

“Currently, I can’t even confront the ultimate boss of the eighth floor of the abyss—”

“If we were to face each other, I probably wouldn’t even have a chance to escape.”

“Therefore, the sooner you clear the abyss, the better.”

Li Xiao continued to speak.

“However, even though a 1st Rank mecha pilot has undergone a mecha upgrade,”

“the traits, number of mechas, and loadable modules are still too few to form a set pattern.”

“It’s hard for their power to really take shape.”

“If you want to challenge the abyss difficulty, I suggest you wait until you’re 4th Rank.”

“At 4th Rank, a mecha can undergo a second upgrade, plus the additions from the number of modules and traits,”

“a mecha pilot’s strength will leap qualitatively!”

“Moreover, by then, you can also team up with Simon from the Ark Organization.”

“He might have slightly less potential than you, but he is also a strong talent. It’s only a matter of time before he clears hell difficulty solo.”

“The two of you working together may be able to clear the abyss!”

Team up?

Better forget it.

It’s not that I can’t form a team, but going solo is more cost-effective.

If I wait until I’m 4th Rank to clear the abyss, when will that be!

This was Jiang Chen’s thought, but he didn’t voice his refusal; instead, he just nodded.

He was confident in his ability to solo clear the first level of abyss difficulty and believed that just by speaking up, he could persuade the big shot opposite him…

But why bother?

Even if he revealed the details of his own talent, what would he gain?

Money? Contribution? Modules? Traits? Personal protection?

Does he need these things?

For personal protection, he already had Bai Ying’s protection, and with Planet Blue Star’s number one person covering him, it was unlikely that anyone with a death wish would come after him.

He could also get the modules and traits himself from the abyss drops.

As for money and contribution…

Not counting the supercharge modules that had already been absorbed.

In this world, how much would the only supercharged module, “Touch of Extreme Cold,” be worth? How much contribution?

A priceless treasure!

So, instead of spending words and exposing his soul’s talent,

it’s simpler and more straightforward to clear the abyss difficulty directly.

Afterward, Jiang Chen would obtain top-notch modules, Planet Blue Star would have a path forward, and the great powers would be able to continue improving.

Everyone would have a bright future.

Therefore, Jiang Chen did not say much.

He traded several pieces of flawless ice materials to Li Xiao for a total of 250,000 in contributions.

The rest of the commissioned modules and materials were also delivered to him.

After completing the transaction, he felt a weight lifted off his shoulders.

Li Xiao didn’t say much, either.

He had made the trip mainly to meet Jiang Chen.

Now that his purpose was achieved, he quickly left with the materials.

Just like Jiang Chen.

Li Xiao couldn’t just stroll around Xuntian City conspicuously.

When he walked out of the room, a silver metallic liquid rapidly flowed out from his chest and covered his entire body.

In an instant, it turned into a liquid alloy mecha that enveloped him inside.

As the mecha took shape, a voice rang out next to Li Xiao’s ear.

“Boss, the rookie may be strong, but he seems a bit restless.”

“Although you’ve warned him, he’ll probably still want to try the abyss difficulty.”

Li Xiao said calmly.

“A genius who can solo hell won’t easily die in the abyss.”

“Let him give it a try.”

“Tsk, that’s true. With the rookie being so formidable, he might just clear it in one go, right?” the voice said with a laugh, before quickly becoming serious again.

“The Mirror World has detected the abyss atmosphere again; more monsters are coming.”

“Boss, it’s time to take your position.”

Finally, Li Xiao furrowed his brows.

“It’s becoming more and more frequent…”

What he hadn’t told Jiang Chen was—

Ten years prior, after the alliance was established and had consumed a vast amount of abyss resources, the Mirror Space was created on Planet Blue Star.

When the abyss atmosphere appeared on Blue Star, it would first go through the analysis of Xuntian City.

If the intensity was too high and could cause irreversible damage, it would be transferred and absorbed by the Mirror Space, and wouldn’t emerge in the real world.

This was why, although powerful abyss monsters had appeared over a decade ago, nearly destroying the archipelagic cities,

subsequently, only weaker monsters appeared, becoming “Abyss Rune factories.”

The 8th Rank mecha pilots of the alliance have been keeping the strongest monsters at bay within the Mirror World.

And they have stretched the battlefield to the outer space of the Mirror World,

in order to prevent cities and civilians from being harmed during battles.

But this is only a temporary solution, not a cure.

Over time, the monsters emerging from the abyss become increasingly stronger.

Even 9th Rank strength monsters have started to come out of the abyss!

If this continues, one day, Planet Blue Star will inevitably be destroyed by these monsters.

“How much time do we have left?”

“At most ten years, at least three, before monsters with a strength surpassing 10th Rank appear.”

“Three years, huh…”

Standing on the streets of Xuntian City, Li Xiao looked up at the sky, at that azure planet.

“I hope they grow up quickly.”

“We really don’t have much time left.”
