Chapter 365: Chapter 315: The Resurrection of the Heroic Spirits!
Shen Hao had always used the na “Red Mythical Talent” as cover for his exceptional performances in the past.
On one hand, no one dared to delve into it deeply, and on the other, no one knew what a Red Mythical Talent truly entailed.
But as the power of civilization continued to grow, even without encountering other possessors of Red Mythical Talent, situations like this would erge where others within the civilization manifested Red Mythical Talents of their own.
Under such circumstances, Shen Hao had to apply so patches.
Certainly, so people had realized the purpose of his actions, but that didn’t matter. In the absence of an artificial intelligence administrator during the Civilization Trial, the only thing to truly guard against was a collective targeting by other civilizations. As long as the existence of his cheats wasn’t publicly disclosed, maintaining a degree of mystery could actually help consolidate Shen Hao’s position.
Indeed, that was the case.
...
For the audience below, they all knew one thing clearly.
——Shen Hao was very strong, far stronger than any ordinary possessor of Red Mythical Talent!
This recognition was undoubtedly what most people desired.
Since his first participation in the Civilization Trial, almost eleven years had passed by now. The majority of the civilization had grown accustod to Shen Hao’s strength and to his status akin to that of a Savior.
If soone really gained power comparable to Shen Hao’s, it would, conversely, make people uncomfortable.
The initially tense atmosphere at the venue vanished, and most people revealed expressions of joy.
Since Shen Hao’s position couldn’t be threatened, the new Red Mythical Talent was good news through and through, and it would further consolidate the status and strength of Human Civilization!
“This ti there are also twenty Golden Legendary Talents and a thousand Purple Epic Talent promotion slots,” Shen Hao said again, “Including this Red Mythical Talent, I plan to hold a comprehensive competition. Even the new generation can participate, with a comprehensive selection from military accomplishnts, Talent, disposition, and other various aspects. On one hand, we choose the most suitable strong individuals to support the pinnacle power of civilization; on the other hand, we also use this as a motivation for the entire civilization to have perpetual opportunities for sudden rises during the Civilization Trial…”
Yes, this was Shen Hao’s thought.
To him, it made no great difference whom each spot went to.
It could be given to those with support-oriented Talents, or to those with combat-oriented Talents, or it could simply be given to the ones he trusted the most, like Qiuyue.
However, to encourage the entire civilization’s growth was, in Shen Hao’s view, even more important.
Generations of talents erge in each era. It is now the twelfth year of the Trial Era, and with the existence of the Accelerated Secret Realm, those born in the first year of the Trial Era have grown up. Shen Hao actually holds greater expectations for the new generation.
Their cognition, their education, their character and abilities are all more suited to the Trial Era!
Moreover, it would only be a matter of ti before the number of the new generation surpassed that of the older ones. It wouldn’t be long until the grassroots of Human Civilization would be shouldered by them.
The reactions of the audience varied, but the majority expressed their support. Even if so powerful Chosen Ones felt slightly disappointed, they all understood the benefit to the entire civilization. After all, those with a significant amount of military comndations were always the most likely to have opportunities.
Subsequently, the entire eting discussed the topics that Shen Hao had just introduced.
These included a series of issues arising from the large number of frontline warriors returning to society, as well as how to develop the imnse planet that had expanded twenty-five tis its size.
These were all top priorities.
Although Shen Hao no longer spoke at will, he didn’t leave the eting. Instead, he sat and listened.
This was useful.
Dong Gong had long before listed the data in his reports. When Shen Hao paid attention, it was also when everyone was most united. Even those with personal desires dared not to show it.
In the Extraordinary Era, the role of authority was elevated to an unprecedented level, making it easier to ensure internal purity and unity.
Even self-examination with hundreds of different thods and approaches was available!
In the end, the eting lasted an entire week, and finally, so basic statutes for important matters were formulated.
And within this week, the entire planet had finished expanding.
The distances between cities had increased significantly, which ant that spaceships had now beco the main mode of transportation, so as not to affect the movent of people and goods between cities.
Apart from that, the majority of society’s discussions revolved around the many warriors returning in triumph.
In the last battle that lasted five and a half years, too many heroic figures had erged. Apart from a group that was already extrely popular, so of the erging strong ones had also accumulated a vast following.
With the internal propaganda strategies of the civilization, the heroes with significant military exploits received treatnt like stars.
It’s unknown how many children of the new generation idolized them, yearning to beco heroes like them one day.
In the Era of Civilization Trials, strong warriors are the security of the entire civilization. Coupled with the unique charm of being Extraordinary, it’s easy to cultivate a pursuit of formidable martial prowess, which is also a good thing, as every Trial Civilization is in pursuit of Extraordinary Power.
Additionally, so warriors who had sacrificed themselves in the war had also gained a high reputation.
They too were heroes, and even more so, they were the embodint of the cohesion of civilization.
The Great Wall, forged in blood, is what truly inspires people, after all, the warriors who sacrificed themselves are not from a distant past, but from among their family and allies, close by.
Moreover, in the Extraordinary Era, the notion of Heroic Spirits living eternally is not rely a figurative expression of spirit; it is a real existence.
The vast majority of those who sacrificed themselves in this war from Human Civilization have beco Heroic Spirits, entering into Shen Hao’s Eternal Heaven.
Even those from Affiliated Civilizations are the sa.
To Shen Hao, the Eternal Heaven is akin to a “True Spirit Storage Device”; it can store the True Spirits of the deceased warriors, preserving their mories and consciousness to the greatest extent. Although only Shen Hao, expending his power, can summon them and provide strength, it is completely different from a soul shattering into oblivion, never to be seen again.
Therefore, while waiting for the refresh of his external plugin, Shen Hao also decided to collectively summon the Heroic Spirits.
This would be the greatest solace for their families and friends!
And when the ssage spread, the entire society was shaken to its core!
Especially the families and friends of the fallen.
“Can we really see them one more ti?”
“I miss my father.”
“I want to tell my son that we are doing well, and he need not worry!”
“I am so excited, my husband has been gone for three and a half years, and I miss him every mont!”
“…”
No matter the country or cultural circle, the sentint of rembrance for the fallen warriors is the sa.
The cheers of victory should not omit these brave warriors.
Countless dia outlets, online platforms, and individuals, in both the digital and real world, rembered their fallen family mbers in various ways, recounting their past, their valor. Even in many major cities, large morials appeared, displaying scenes of warriors’ valiant battles and recording the nas of everyone.
Finally, the day to summon the Heroic Spirits arrived.
People from every city, without prior arrangent, donned somber black attire and gathered near the morials, with the families of the fallen warriors standing at the forefront, filled with eager anticipation.
Until, the figure of Shen Hao appeared in the sky, and golden light fell from the heavens, spreading to all the morials, as figures erged from within the glow.
It was the Heroic Spirits!
These fallen warriors carried a look of bewildernt in their eyes, but they quickly realized their current situation, and were imnsely stirred.
They had sacrificed themselves, but still had the opportunity to awaken once more, to see their families again!
Even if it was for a brief ti, it was an imnse comfort to those who had passed away!
“The ti will last for one day,” Shen Hao’s voice reached everyone.
He also felt that, rely summoning around a hundred million Heroic Spirits of Human Civilization was not a huge expenditure. It wasn’t difficult to continue indefinitely.
However, the cost was not small and, over ti, it would inevitably affect his Cultivation.
After all, this was not true resurrection.
Their bodies, their powers, all were supported by Shen Hao’s ability, “Eternal Heaven,” and in a non-war phase, it obviously wasn’t feasible to continuously expend power to summon them. At best, they could do this as a way to inspire society, increasing cohesion.
Nevertheless, watching the Heroic Spirits, made up entirely of Shen Hao’s power and glowing faintly, embrace their families and share their tales, Shen Hao was filled with anticipation for a possible Resurrection Technique that might appear in the future.
In a world of transcendence, where the True Spirit exists, resurrection is certainly not an impossibility.
Even if it cos at a certain cost, having a sliver of hope is enough to give an entire civilization trendous courage.
The Eternal Heaven has actually played such a role already.
The deep ache the society felt due to the massive sacrifice of a hundred million warriors was mitigated by the presence of the Heroic Spirits, which in turn provided encouragent, courage, and a legacy.
Shen Hao even saw so Heroic Spirits being invited to schools to share their heroic deeds with the new generation.
“Such an event can take place annually, becoming a tradition,” Shen Hao pondered. “The Heroic Spirits of Affiliated Civilizations would be suitable as well, although with so restrictions. A single occasion like this is more beneficial than detrintal.”
This would be a great comfort both to the living and to the fallen.
