But precisely because he knew the identity of the person in front of him, Shen Shi beca even more certain of the importance Gus Land’s core region placed on this plan.
"I must say, Human Civilization is indeed more adventurous than imagined. Could this be the romance of Divine Dao Civilization?" The Gus person of translated na Quan San appeared quite at ease in front of Shen Shi.
It’s understood that in the presence of a Divine Dao ruler, respect is the standard way to interact, no matter how strong one’s power. This is respecting the other’s culture.
It’s like in the past on Blue Star, so small countries may have been weak, but when the king visited, diplomacy required adherence to the principle of equality.
But the attitude of Quan San could already be seen as a provocation against Human Civilization.
Of course, Shen Shi wasn’t surprised.
The plan proposed by Human Civilization this ti indeed offers significant benefits to Gus Land’s core region, but benefits vary in size. Such a ticulous civilization primarily focused on comrce couldn’t possibly ignore the magnitude of benefits.
And Shen Shi has a counterasure.
"At worst, we leave. At the very least, Gus Land certainly can’t openly attack," Shen Shi maintained a leisurely attitude, but he struck at the pivotal point.
"Do you really not care about all you could gain here? You must know, you have already established yourselves. Every mont spent here brings you benefits impossible to gain outside. Only here do you have the chance to advance further and beco a truly powerful civilization." Quan San’s surface showed no changes, but his words revealed a lot.
In his view, Human Civilization was like a willful child.
Without using force, a large company could easily make an adult submit by various ans, but they can’t make a child submit.
Steal his snacks? Strip him of his future?
A child might not necessarily care much about these things.
At this ti, Human Civilization was like this: clearly able to gain huge benefits in Gus Land, yet always possessing a carefree attitude of "leave if displeased."
Such a scenario might occur with an individual but rarely with a civilization of this level, even among its leaders.
In fact, such a capricious decision-making civilization might find it difficult to reach this stage.
The more a civilization develops, the more "rationality" becos important; otherwise, endless internal conflicts would severely hinder its developnt speed.
"You are mistaken," Shen Shi said calmly. "Gus Land might accelerate our progress, but it’s not the only option nor the only opportunity."
This seemingly calm statent, however, was an extrely pivotal turning point of fate in this plan!
Before saying it, Shen Shi did not know what would happen in the future.
But after saying it, Shen Shi could already determine the future!
Actually, he was already distractedly accessing Ti Crystal in his mind, retrieving the latest "Sage Saint’s Diary" from the future server.
And what he saw was as expected!
"Indeed mysterious." Quan San took up the teacup placed in front of him, gently took a sip, and then exhaled a breath of steam. "A wonderful culture, do you understand? In our early days as the weak Gus people, we possessed more than one culture. Endless mountains divided our entire civilization into vastly different styled tribes. Over a long period of integration, we established the current culture, which avoids conflict and seeks shared advancent through transactions, embracing diversity. Whatever the culture, each can gain insight and understanding."
Shen Shi’s expression showed no change.
But it wasn’t due to a lack of insight.
It was because he had already learned this segnt from future information.
Yet upon learning it, he was quite amazed in his heart.
Despite so many different civilizations from the peripheral region staying in Gus Land, Gus Civilization remains incredibly mysterious to them.
Few truly understand Gus people’s cultural style, which is key to comprehending a civilization, a race’s behavioral logic.
But now, Shen Shi knew!
The tribal civilization ford under the endless mountainous environnt.
This culture, during its great integration period, indeed needs to forbid open slaughter; otherwise, the internal struggles alone would doom the entire civilization.
"I will keep your secrets," Shen Shi finally said calmly.
"Human Civilization has the confidence to let you know these things. We also welco a deeper relationship with you, even though you have not gained the qualifications to enter the core region. But we can still provide you with so better treatnt for advancent." Quan San wasn’t randomly beginning to describe his race’s culture; this is a customary practice in their culture, a form of statent, seeking a deeper relationship by voluntarily describing their culture.
Clearly, Shen Shi’s words had an effect.
Because this kind of anomaly didn’t exist in the earliest future.
To so extent, this is largely thanks to Primordial Energy Technology.
Primordial Energy Technology allows honesty in exchanges to be proven. With both sides holding a "Lie Detector," communication becos much simpler. Even though Shen Shi did not reveal his trump card, just revealing that he possessed a trump card was enough.
At least, in Quan San’s view, this trump card might not surpass Gus Land, but still exceeds all other peripheral forces, positioning Human Civilization as a unique presence between the peripheral and the core.
Of course, this includes many factors.
For example, Gus Land’s core region originally agreed to Human Civilization’s proposed plan for the benefits, and the cultural tendency of Gus Land to minimize overt intense conflict, and the fact Human Civilization indeed possessed aspects they couldn’t decipher...
All these factors, combined with future evolutionary trends, were also why Shen Shi took the risk.
One could only say.
Shen Shi’s "Prophet" ability may not have reached the point of completely controlling fate, but it can make fate favor him as much as possible.
Thus, when Gus Land agreed to unify trade with the "Alliance" led by Human Civilization, the entire peripheral region was in an uproar!
None of the forces had expected Human Civilization to actually succeed!
According to their calculated probabilities, the chance of success wasn’t enough for them to take the risk. Yet regardless of probability or risk, at the mont of success, all the risks vanished!
Every force understood, Human Civilization was about to make a fortune!
But after a brief uproar, all civilizations and forces began considering how to increase their own interests using this thod.
They easily thought of.
That is the subsidiary alliance!
Gus Land agreed to negotiate and price with Human Civilization, so they joined forces to conduct secondary negotiations with Human Civilization!
The success rate of this scenario is not low, because once the alliance truly forms, it would be equivalent to Human Civilization standing up Gus Land. For Human Civilization, this would be extrely risky! Based on this, they might be able to force Human Civilization to give up all benefits ant for the leader, and possibly more!
However—
Just as this subsidiary alliance was about to form, several major forces received information from humans.
The content of the information was extrely simple.
It was their secretly hidden Relic information!
In an instant, these forces planning to threaten Human Civilization felt a huge threat from Human Civilization.
Know that even Gus Land permits alliance negotiation, clearly revealing their importance on the Relic.
