Run Away, This Civilization Is Cheating!

As a loser, it was impossible not to be nervous. Even though Human Civilization had a chance to achieve victory in the Civilization Trial, they were equally likely to perish during it.

Even a great victory like the last Trial still saw some civilizations ultimately come to an end during the Trial.

And the time right at the start of the Trial was undoubtedly the most dangerous.

However, that's just how the Civilization Trial is. Whether it be anticipation or fear, it cannot be escaped and will eventually come.

With all preparations fully completed, the countdown to the Trial reached its final moment, and the Mother Planets of all civilizations, including Human Civilization, disappeared in an instant from their original universe.

And Shen Hao seized this moment, observing the changes closely.

If anything had so far shown the greatest might of the Civilization Trial, it was undoubtedly this power that could transfer vast civilizations in one fell swoop, quietly traversing a brand new universe.

But unfortunately,

even now that Shen Hao had reached the Seventh Stage, and could even slightly touch the loopholes of the Civilization Trial's rules, he still had no awareness of the entire process.

Rather than saying they traversed the universe, in his perception, it felt more like the universe had changed.

From the original empty Law, in an instant, it turned into an extremely strong aura of Law.

However, somewhat unexpectedly, was this still an empty universe?

At least from the surface, it was empty, without any stars in the sky. Even if his Divine Sense and cognition were spread out, there was nothing in the entire universe.

But oddly, the Laws were incredibly strong, even extremely chaotic and complex, with no visible systematic Extraordinary Rules.

"What's going on?" Shen Hao couldn't help but frown deeply.

But in his mind, a speculation had already emerged.

The Trial Universe empty? That was impossible. Even other Trial Civilizations' names had already appeared on the civilization rankings, which meant the Trial had indeed begun.

So, the most likely possibility was—Multi-dimensional Universe!

Yes, not a multi-dimensional world, but a multi-dimensional universe!

Though only a conceptual difference, the gap between them is immensely vast.

What is a universe?

At least it's spatially limitless!

Multi-dimensional Universe means countless limitless spaces, and all universes are again contained in a unified Extraordinary Da Yuan, representing the entirety of the Trial.

"The scale of the Trial is really getting much stronger," Shen Hao grew even more certain of his speculation, but also felt a bit of awe.

It was really true that the more Trials experienced, the more impossible it was to see the limits of the Civilization Trial.

However, Shen Hao also clearly knew that this was actually because the power of Human Civilization had increased too quickly.

For other civilizations, there had even been instances where the scale of consecutive two Trials had been similar.

But the rapid increase in Human Civilization's strength had led to a significant increase in difficulty and scale in each Trial.

However, this was also a good thing.

The increase in Trial difficulty also meant that what Human Civilization could gain from this Trial would be equally astonishing.

"The first step is naturally to explore the Trial itself," Shen Hao carefully observed for a while, yet he couldn't sense any direct danger from the chaotic Laws.

Of course, the danger still existed, and some Laws clearly had their masters, powerful enough to startle even Shen Hao.

But as long as he didn't touch them, there seemed to be no danger of being noticed or observed.

Even Shen Hao's intuition didn't feel too much danger.

"It's actually a bland start." Shen Hao issued the order to maintain vigilance for the time being, and meanwhile, some production operations did not need to end.

For truly strong Trial Civilizations, it wasn't just about winning the Trial during the Trial Period.

They also needed to grow and develop.

So, there was no need to be perfect during this downtime, and with such a mild start, development could definitely continue.

Shen Hao also discovered that this time, all the Affiliated Civilizations had not separated. The entire Human Civilization System was all gathered in this one universe.

Thus, Shen Hao continuously analyzed the Laws.

This analysis took an entire year!

That's right, during this entire counting year of Human Civilization, nothing happened on the civilization level.

If it weren't for the civilization ranking list showing some increase in performance value due to Shen Hao's analysis of the Laws, the entire Human Civilization would almost think they were still in the downtime.

Their lives now had no difference from the downtime, even those Legions that had originally gathered together had many temporarily disbanded, returning to their temporarily halted production tasks to resume production.

Clearly, this was not entirely without disadvantages.

Firstly, the decline in enthusiasm.

Especially for the new generation who had not experienced the Trial, originally full of zeal and ready to face the Trial, to find a year passing silently.

It would inevitably have an impact, possibly even lead to negligence and complacency.

Then, the chaos in the production structure.

No matter how safe it seemed, it wasn't truly possible to return to the state of downtime, and they had to maintain vigilance, which prevented the full release of productive forces, with many war resources stocked in excess.

"President, some people are beginning to feel a bit anxious," Dong Gong emphasized this point particularly in his report to Shen Hao, "If this situation continues for another five years, it might even lead to significant economic losses."
