Run Away, This Civilization Is Cheating!

Chapter 572: Chapter 423: Catastrophe of the Multi-dimensional Universe_2

The clerks had read through the documents, and although they were equally shocked by the strength of the other party, they still wouldn’t just capitulate without any attempt at negotiation.

Even when facing an immensely powerful entity, one must struggle if they wish to be taken seriously, to have boundaries.

Otherwise, one will be progressively cornered and squeezed.

Especially since it was Ying who made this decision, this was what they could least comprehend, even becoming anxious about it.

All this time, regardless of the crisis or difficulty faced, it was always Ying who led them to victory, even when everyone else wanted to give up, it was Ying who stood firm.

Faced with these doubts from his comrades, Ying fell silent for a long while.

The meeting slowly quieted down.

Everyone was looking at him; they had realized that Ying must be hiding something from them.

But they still chose to trust, trusting that he would provide an explanation.

After a long silence, Ying finally spoke.

“I have seen the crisis, a very early one, an insurmountable crisis for us no matter what,” he began, with a degree of despondency and confusion that had never been seen in him before, “The entire universe, completely torn apart, planets annihilated without resistance, and I saw us, all that was familiar, unable to resist… I even thought for a long time that what I saw were just delusions, but the emergence of Human Civilization has confirmed that there’s a reality in this universe, in this world, that we are unaware of, that we can’t fathom.”

Everyone listened quietly, they were somewhat shocked by Ying’s words, but they had also somewhat anticipated them.

The Human Civilization that appeared today was simply too powerful.

Not only were the powers of these envoys tremendous, their warships formidable, but the truly terrifying thing was that unfathomable Imprint.

No matter how strong one’s confidence, upon witnessing that Imprint, one can’t help but feel insignificant.

As if facing the entire universe!

Such an experience had never happened before, not even in their weakest moments.

“Fortunately, before we truly come in contact with those unknowns, those realities as deep as an abyss, we first encountered an entity that isn’t as terrible,” Ying continued, looking at everyone, “Not communicating with you was my mistake, but I hope to find a sanctuary, even if it’s undefined now, just the possibility makes everything stated in the document worthwhile. Yatai is right, this is affiliation, at least it allows us to reach another level in a relatively safe identity.”

Right, couldn’t Ying see that the document thoroughly resembled the stance of a Sovereign Country towards a vassal?

But it was precisely because he saw it that he agreed on the spot.

Having said so much, the others also understood and came to terms with it.

Ying’s decision was indeed the correct one.

If there really was an even greater crisis waiting for them, then temporarily adopting a compromising attitude in face of such a Human Civilization that at least seemed to follow rules and order, was indeed the right choice.

However—

“Can you be more precise about the crisis?” Severus suddenly asked, “When did you see the crisis, what exactly did you see? Ying, if there really is the kind of doomsday you speak of, you really shouldn’t hide it from us, we need to face it together.”

“I wasn’t so sure before,” Ying, having begun to disclose, no longer hesitated, and depicted everything he had seen.

He indeed witnessed many terrifying scenes.

It was as if his Soul had traversed countless Parallel Universes in a short period, and in many universes, he saw himself and others.

But similarly, he saw disasters.

What was just mentioned is just one of them; there are many other disasters, obviously triggered by Cosmic Treasures, or by the six companions, including himself. Yet, these are actually nothing at all.

The truly terrifying calamities come from beyond the Universe.

For instance, a colossal maw composed entirely of stardust, ceaselessly devouring everything within the Universe, including the Universe itself.

Then there are the endless monsters that simply cannot be killed, imbued with an immensely wicked aura.

Or, for no apparent reason, in just an instant, every life form in the Universe, whether Human, plant, or even microorganism, all die off, as if the Universe transformed in a flash into a purely “dead” entity made up of individual atoms.

…

Ying couldn’t be sure which crisis would ultimately emerge in their Universe, or even if any would emerge at all.

But every destroyed Universe must have thought the same way.

Once a crisis occurs, it spells complete and helpless annihilation.

“So, the reason you formed the United Conference, and reached out to us, is because you saw us during that ‘soul journey’ of yours?” Severus’s voice sounded quite sorrowful, “And to think, I always felt that you saw something extraordinary in me.”

Everyone knew he was just joking, trying to alleviate the shock and unease.

But still, they each let out slight chuckles regardless.

“At first, I thought Ying was into me,” teased the Witch, “and I didn’t even have a humanoid form back then.”

“And I wondered how, after tens of thousands of years without a sighting of our Ancient God Race, you were able to find us. So it’s like this: Multi-Parallel Universe. The world truly is astonishing,” chimed in the Chief of the Ancient God Race.

For the majority of them, this day indeed broadened their horizons significantly.

The concept of a Multi-Parallel Universe, in fact, had already been proposed and carefully studied by some.

However, there was never evidence proving the true existence of countless parallel universes, countless selves.

Now, they had confirmation.

This also meant that what they needed to face in the future was an even vaster world, filled with more mysteries and unknowns!

For the Seven Giants, it naturally posed a challenge, but it might also present opportunities.

“Right,” Severus seemed to suddenly remember, then looked at Ying, “Since you have had experiences traveling through the Multi-dimensional Parallel Universe, have you ever seen this Human Civilization? If they are truly powerful, it’s improbable they left no trace in the Multi-dimensional Parallel Universe.”

“This is what puzzles me too,” Ying also spoke seriously, “but indeed, I have not. Whether it’s these people or the Imprint, this is my first time seeing them. The only thing I am certain of is that the entity behind the Imprint indeed possesses power that transcends the cosmic level, and naturally surpasses all the power we wield.”

With these words, everyone lapsed into silence once again, with the Emperor of the Giant Empire even furrowing his brows deeply.

They felt that despite having learned of many worlds, the veil shrouding the Human Civilization before them was not lifted; if anything, it seemed even more opaque, making it impossible to see clearly, incredibly mysterious.

“Perhaps, we need not overthink it,” the Witch suddenly said, looking at everyone, “Now that we’ve started making contact, we just need to test, to understand, and even to directly ask. Perhaps, Human Civilization is also searching for ‘comrades-in-arms’ to combat the crisis.”

These words made the others realize.

That’s right, if there are indeed so many crises, then those threatened are not only them, but all living creatures across all parallel universes!

Now that contact has been established, no matter the veil, there will always be a time it is lifted.
