Chapter 974: The Lowest-Level Technological Civilization Planet
Australian High Command.
"Mr. President, should we order to open fire?"
"Yes, it's too much. We could have pretended not to see it when it was up high, but now it's blatantly and swaggeringly appearing in the low-altitude domain, and even the civilians can clearly capture the scenes on the spaceship with their phones."
"If we don't act now, we'll be a global laughing stock."
For a moment, many representatives spoke up, requesting to open fire.
But some opposed the idea.
"Are you kidding? Open fire, with what? Last time when the Divine Continent Fleet was patrolling the bay, why didn't you mention opening fire?"
"Exactly, this ship looks extremely strange. According to the video footage that appeared online yesterday, the people on this ship possess vast divine skills. If we provoke them and they come down for a decapitating action against us, who can stop them? Rely on the experts from Heaven and the Penglai Realm? Haven't you noticed that since last night, these people have recoiled and don't dare to show themselves."
"What's most frightening is that looking at the dress and appearance of these people, they are practically Divine Continent people. I seriously suspect this is a play directed and acted out by the Divine Continent."
"That's right, Divine Continent people are the most cunning, this must be their scheme."
"The Divine Continent just wants to lure us into action, then they can seize the opportunity to take over Australia; the Divine Continent people have long coveted this land."
"Ahem, let's not get too worked up. The Divine Continent lost five fighter jets last night, this likely has nothing to do with them."
"Yes. If the Divine Continent truly had such powerful cultivators, the first place they'd destroy would be Japan; after all, they are sworn enemies."
"Indeed, the black hole vortex above the firmament is definitely not something Earth's humans could accomplish. This is the arrival of an Outer Domain civilization into Earth Space, this spaceship is from an Alien Civilization, an enemy to Earth's humanity."
"It's too soon to conclude that; they've not actively attacked Earth's humanity, they're not necessarily Earth's enemy. So far, only the Divine Continent has initiated an attack against them. If they were to wipe out someone, the first would be the Divine Continent, which doesn't concern us."
"Right, it's none of our business, we shouldn't provoke them. Perhaps they'll leave soon enough."
Australian leaders were discussing heatedly, much like a small village meeting.
Facing this completely changed new world, facing the invasion of Alien Civilization powerhouses, the world revealed its ragtag essence in every way.
After a long uproar, they finally concluded:
Closely monitor, Australia will not fire the first shot proactively.
Try to establish communication with the other side to inquire about their purpose of coming to Earth. If Australia can help, for the safety of the Australian people, for Earth's peace, Australia is willing to compromise.
In short, be cowardly!
In the face of Earth's powerful nations, Australia could only hide its tail and be a person, let alone facing these ominously powerful Outer Domain beings, Australia feels it's not shameful to hide its tail.
It's just allowing them to use our airspace briefly, nothing more than not collecting the corresponding taxes for it, it's nothing significant.
Thus, from the moment this spaceship descended into Australia's low-altitude region, it hasn't encountered any threat or provocation.
Australia didn't even mention using fighter jets to patrol, even civilian helicopters and some drones used by the general public were forbidden from flying, to prevent being mistaken for a provocation by the other side. The most up‑to‑date version is on M4VLEMP4YR.
Early in the morning, all satellite signals over this Australian city were jammed, the air over the city was very quiet, all flights were notified in advance to reroute.
Only this bizarre-looking spaceship was gliding in the sky.
On the ship, the disciples of the Lingxiao Sect stood on the deck, looking at the modern city hundreds of meters below, gradually losing their expectations on their faces.
This planet is mainly based on technological civilization, but the technological civilization here doesn't seem to have developed to a very high level.
"The air above the entire city is filled with a stinking foul smell, the emissions from the energy they use severely harm this planet, making it unfavorable for human habitation." Linglong said with a frown.
The senior brother nodded, "Yes, the humans of this planet still do not understand how to neutralize harmful impurities, resulting in a layer of toxins enveloping the entire planet. Long-term habitation here will torment everyone with disease, I guess the people here won't live long."
A man in a white robe laughed and said, "Senior brother is absolutely right, from what I've observed, there's still some spiritual energy here, people's physical constitutions should be great, yet all I see are frail individuals. Most importantly, besides humans, such a place should have other beings capable of developing spiritual wisdom, yet no non-human spiritual wisdom creatures have been found here."
"This is a planet ravaged by a low-level technological civilization."
"Indeed, if there were no technology here, the beings of this planet would be much healthier and live longer."
The disciples of Lingxiao Sect commented on what they had seen, within a few words, they had formed a certain understanding of Earth's civilization.
Suddenly, a disciple laughed and said, "They seem to be greeting us."
Everyone followed this person's gaze and saw two hot air balloons slowly ascending, with a huge banner hung between them.
On it were words written in English and Chinese.
"Welcome Outer Domain Envoys to Earth, this is Australia, Australians hope to be friends with you."
The disciples of Lingxiao Sect looked at that large banner, earnestly recognizing the words on it.
"Junior Brother Yun Zong, you are well-versed in various scripts, well-informed, can you recognize these two scripts?" the senior brother looked at one of them and asked.
Yun Zong carefully recognized the Chinese script, saying, "The square script is relatively close to our Central Great World's unified script, but still somewhat obscure and challenging to understand, I can't recognize it. As for the twisted linear script, it's admittedly too ugly, like a ghost talisman, can this even be called a script? I can't be bothered to look at it any longer."
The senior brother laughed, "They are greeting us, wanting to communicate with us."
"The humans of low-level civilization aren't even qualified to become the most ordinary citizens of the Central Continent, we don't need to pay attention to them."
"Indeed, expending mental effort to communicate with them, yet obtaining no information beneficial to us, is just a waste of time. We should explore the entire planet as quickly as possible, locate the specific positions of the Spirit Veins, retrieve the Spirit Veins and return to Central Continent early." Yun Zong said.
Linglong suddenly said softly, "Senior Brother, if we extract the Spirit Veins here, what will happen to this planet?"
The senior brother looked at Linglong and smiled, "Junior Sister Linglong is overflowing with compassion again, worried about the survival of these Alien Races? Rest assured, they won't die, just that without the Spirit Veins providing Spiritual Energy, the entire planet's environment will deteriorate dramatically, compounded by the harm their energy emissions cause, this planet will swiftly become a toxic planet, the lifespan of these beings will greatly shorten. However, considering they cannot cultivate, cannot achieve immortality, it doesn't make much of a difference to them."
Linglong nodded silently, her face solemn.
She knew that extracting this planet's Spirit Veins was something the Lingxiao Sect had to do, and she wouldn't be soft-hearted because of it.
In the world of cultivation, it's survival of the fittest, for strong cultivators, even weaker cultivators are like ants, let alone these Alien life forms more fragile than the ordinary citizens of the Central Continent?
Just as the senior brother said, for those unable to attain immortality, living to eighty or living to fifty or sixty holds not much of a difference, as ordinary humans age, their physiological functions decline, longevity instead becomes a form of torture and suffering.
