My Mythical Path to Immortality in Another World

Chapter 238 Fate and Destiny

However, the Xuan Bird civilization did not stop there. These exceptionally intelligent ancestors understood the importance of making the most of resources; they were not content with merely developing advanced genetic technology. They then turned their attention to the remains of the Xuan Bird.

Through countless tireless experiments and meticulous refinement, the ancient people finally succeeded in creating a new type of alloy material with outstanding performance. This unique alloy material possesses astonishing strength, toughness, and high-temperature resistance, undoubtedly laying a solid material foundation for the subsequent development of the Xuan Niao civilization.

With this unique material advantage, the Xuan Niao civilization was given a significant boost. They skillfully utilized this new alloy material to create a massive, powerful super-spaceship capable of traversing the vast expanse of space. This spaceship, like a mobile fortress, carried the Xuan Niao civilization's boundless aspirations and desires for the unknown world.

From that moment on, the Xuan Niao civilization officially sounded the clarion call to conquer the stars and embark on the great journey to conquer the vast universe. Filled with dreams and courage, they piloted their spaceship, bravely venturing into the unfathomable depths of space to explore more unknown mysteries and possibilities…

It should be noted that although this was a primitive civilization, due to limitations in materials and other factors, a spaceship of this size and performance was extremely precious and rare for the Xuan Niao civilization.

In fact, the entire Xuan Niao civilization poured all its resources into building only this one spaceship! The original mission of this spaceship was to explore various resources in the vast starry sky, but as time went by and technology continued to advance, it was carefully transformed into a super spaceship specifically for interstellar exploration.

At this very moment, the people aboard this spaceship are the most powerful and intelligent elite members of the Xuan Niao civilization.

It has to be said that even though these people are all top performers in their respective fields, even the once-renowned "Mysterious Bird" spaceship itself, in Zhao Xuan's eyes, is probably no different from an insignificant ant.

This is undoubtedly the cruel reality and deep sorrow faced by lower civilizations: perhaps hundreds of millions of lower civilizations will never see the true face of higher civilizations in their entire lives until they are completely wiped out.

When those lucky ones finally manage to reach the threshold of advanced civilization after going through countless hardships, they are shocked to find that the achievements of their civilization, which they have painstakingly cultivated over many years, are so vulnerable in the face of advanced civilization, like fragile and insignificant ants.

At that very moment, the Xuan Bird civilization's spaceship, which was bravely forging ahead in the vast universe, suddenly encountered an unprecedented and enormous energy storm.

In an instant, the spaceship's internal warning system emitted a deafening, piercing alarm, which rose and fell incessantly. Faced with this sudden turn of events, everyone on board instantly tensed up, their hearts pounding as if they might leap out of their throats at any moment.

But now that things have come to this, they have no room to back down or run away. The only thing they can do is grit their teeth, muster their courage, and try their best to forcefully break through this terrifying energy storm area.

Amidst the raging interstellar storm, the spaceship carrying the hopes and dreams of the Xuan Niao civilization was like a small boat, violently battered by the raging forces.

The spacecraft's outer protective layer endured unprecedented pressure; its strength was beyond imagination, yet it could not escape the terrifying impact. Tiny cracks began to appear in parts of the high-strength alloy protective layer, spreading like a spiderweb—a truly alarming sight.

At this critical moment, the wise and intelligent scholars and scientists of the Xuan Niao civilization acted swiftly, like a group of warriors who had been ordered to take on a mission in a time of crisis, and urgently gathered together to discuss countermeasures.

They mobilized all the knowledge they had accumulated and used various advanced technologies to carry out emergency repairs on the damaged spaceship. Time ticked by, and everyone was anxious but also completely focused on this life-or-death battle.

Finally, after a long and arduous struggle, they successfully stabilized the teetering spaceship. As the spaceship emerged from the storm, a magnificent and breathtaking scene unfolded before them—a dazzling, dreamlike nebula.

This nebula is like a treasure trove in the universe, containing extremely rich and mysterious energy fluctuations. This strange form of energy is completely foreign to the Xuan Niao civilization.

Just as the members of the Xuan Niao civilization were excitedly preparing to conduct in-depth research on this mysterious nebula, suddenly, an enormous black shadow loomed over them without warning. This shadow was like a moving mountain, radiating a suffocating sense of oppression.

Upon closer inspection, everyone gasped in astonishment. It turned out to be a colossal warship from a highly advanced civilization! The warship was menacing in appearance and well-equipped, clearly possessing a level of technology and military power far surpassing that of the Xuan Niao civilization.

Faced with such a powerful opponent, the people of the Xuan Niao civilization were filled with a deep sense of fear and despair. They knew that with their current strength, they were no match for them, and if the opponent harbored hostility, then what awaited them was likely to be annihilation.

However, despite their fear and unease, the people of the Xuan Niao civilization did not choose to sit idly by and await their doom. They mustered their courage and sent a friendly signal to the warship, indicating that they were merely a group of explorers with an endless curiosity about the universe and had no intention of offending anyone.

After a tense and long wait, the warship fell into a long silence. Every second felt like an eternity to the people of the Xuan Niao civilization. They stared intently at the warship's every move, their hearts pounding, and cold sweat pouring down their foreheads.

Finally, after an agonizing wait that nearly drove it to despair, the warship seemed to make a decision. It first slightly adjusted its posture, then slowly turned and left, gradually disappearing into the vast starry sky.

Watching the warship sail away, the members of the Xuan Niao civilization breathed a long sigh of relief. The harrowing experience they had just witnessed left them shaken, but it also strengthened their resolve to continue their journey and explore the mysteries of the universe. So, they composed themselves, restarted the ship's engines, and continued their journey into the vast, unknown, and challenging starry sea ahead…

Zhao Xuan stood there quietly, not intervening to stop them from pursuing the traces of that advanced civilization. He knew very well that for these people who had always yearned to explore the unknown and seek higher technology and knowledge, how could they easily give up the opportunity to make contact with such an advanced civilization?

In fact, all of this was the result of Zhao Xuan's deliberate manipulation. The reason that advanced civilization's spaceship chose to leave was also because Zhao Xuan exerted influence behind the scenes. After all, considering the current level of the Xuan Bird civilization, it was far too insignificant. Without the support of the Xuan Bird, they probably wouldn't even qualify as a Level One civilization.

However, after Zhao Xuan conducted an in-depth investigation, he discovered that the civilization to which the spaceship that had just appeared belonged had actually reached the level of a Level 3 civilization!

With such a vast disparity in strength, if the Xuan Niao civilization were to rashly allow its spaceships to make direct contact with the enemy, then without a doubt, the Xuan Niao civilization would face annihilation—the entire spaceship would be destroyed in an instant.

Fortunately, at the crucial moment, Zhao Xuan used his mysterious and unpredictable abilities to subtly change the other party's perception, thus successfully preventing a terrible conflict from breaking out.

It was precisely because of this that the Xuan Niao civilization's spaceship was able to continue its journey safely. However, this also reflects the helplessness and sorrow faced by lower civilizations: in the vast universe, only those lower civilizations with exceptionally good fortune have the opportunity to find a suitable realm for their survival and development, and gradually grow stronger.

It's important to understand that the classification of civilizations in the universe is extremely detailed and complex. Among them, the ninth level of civilization forms its own distinct category, holding an absolute leading position; while the remaining eight levels are each divided into three distinct stages: early, middle, and late. Each advancement in level brings a qualitative leap in a civilization's technological prowess, social systems, resource control capabilities, and other aspects.

Throughout the long evolution of the universe, the development of various civilizations often follows certain patterns and stages. For a civilization, its early development typically relies on various material resources.

These material resources include various mineral deposits and other similar natural resources. Through the extraction, processing, and utilization of these material resources, civilization was able to initially establish its own industrial system and infrastructure.

As civilizations mature and enter their intermediate stages, their focus shifts to a broader and more powerful source of limitless energy. This limitless energy largely refers to the energy contained within celestial bodies as massive as stars. This energy is enormous, and if effectively developed and utilized, it will greatly propel civilization to higher levels.

However, as time passed and civilization gradually entered its later stages of development, a profound and awe-inspiring transformation quietly descended. In the vast and boundless depths of the universe, they would begin to encounter a mysterious entity known to the world as higher energy.

This advanced energy is like a nimble sprite, or a spirit containing boundless wisdom, radiating a magical power that is captivating and indescribable, and possessing unfathomable potential.

In that dazzling galaxy, countless civilizations shone like stars, but one civilization, known as the Black Bird, stood out from the rest. Whether by the cruel twist of fate or a coincidence of history, this civilization, for some unknown reason, prematurely encountered the legendary high energy—spiritual energy.

This should have been a great breakthrough and leap forward, but things didn't go as planned. This premature contact became a stumbling block on their path forward.

Because the Xuan Bird civilization devoted its energy too early to the exploration and research of spiritual energy, it failed to achieve the heights and accomplishments it should have made in developing other more important and promising infinite energy sources, such as the energy of celestial bodies that stand like giants in the universe.

As a result, their development in the energy sector has hit a bottleneck, preventing them from fully leveraging their technological strength and innovation capabilities.

Moreover, the Xuan Bird civilization, residing in a lower realm, faced another extremely severe challenge: the spiritual energy resources in this region were surprisingly scarce. Although they had successfully developed spaceships capable of absorbing spiritual energy to replenish their own energy, thanks to their exceptional wisdom and advanced technology, the absorption rate was extremely slow in this environment of scarce spiritual energy, almost like a snail crawling.

For this reason, these spaceships were often forced to stop midway, searching for areas with relatively dense spiritual energy in order to replenish and store their energy. This undoubtedly added numerous difficulties and obstacles to the Xuan Niao civilization's exploration journey.

Fortunately, the people of the Xuan Bird civilization took a unique approach. They used the legendary Xuan Bird as a model and incorporated its genes into their own genetic information.

In this way, individuals of the Xuan Niao civilization not only acquired some extraordinary characteristics, but also only needed a small amount of spiritual energy to meet their basic survival needs, while also significantly extending their lifespan. It was precisely because of these special abilities that the Xuan Niao civilization was able to persevere through the vast and boundless starry sky.

From Zhao Xuan's perspective, the chances of the Xuan Bird civilization finding a suitable place to settle and achieve an advancement in its civilization level are extremely slim, perhaps only one in a billion. After all, achieving a breakthrough is no easy feat given the numerous difficulties and limitations faced.

You should know that the Xuan Bird civilization was the first civilization Zhao Xuan encountered after entering the Xuanhuang World! Because of this, Zhao Xuan was willing to spend a lot of time carefully observing it, eagerly anticipating the birth of some miracle.

However, he naturally wouldn't interfere without any scruples. Only when the Xuan Bird civilization faced a life-or-death emergency would Zhao Xuan choose to secretly lend a helping hand and resolve the crisis.

However, everything in the world has its predetermined destiny, and even someone as powerful as Zhao Xuan cannot arbitrarily alter these predetermined fates. After all, there is a divine arrangement in the dark.

After careful consideration, Zhao Xuan decided that he would only help the Xuan Bird Civilization overcome its difficulties a maximum of three times. As for how to proceed from there, that would have to be left to the Xuan Bird Civilization to fend for itself through its own strength and wisdom.
