Firstly, this meant they basically had no chance of competing for the first rank!


    They would lose out on the generous rewards.


    Secondly, having such powerful civilizations matched on the same Trial Battlefield meant that the difficulty of the trial might far exceed their imagination!


    "The top priority is to find this civilization, or at the very least determine which one it is!" another person spoke up, this time a woman, astonishingly five meters tall.


    Moreover, her upper body was slender and stunningly beautiful, her expression cold and her demeanor unparalleled, but her lower half was that of a gigantic scorpion! Behind her were even nine scorpion tails armed with barbs!


    She was known as the Scorpion King!


    "This shouldn''t be difficult," another person began, this one looking quite normal, three meters tall with a lean build, and exuding a cold aura with his speech, "This kind of improvement in performance value doesn''t just need strength, but more importantly, intelligence. This civilization must have had contact with the indigenous civilization. Just ask around the Company Alliance, which ''Hidden Civilizations'' have recently been actively seeking and slaying Dimensional Creatures. From this, we can identify them, but if it turns out to be a civilization with a brutal, cold, and greedy style, do we risk exposing ourselves and inviting disaster?"


    Indeed, this was the main reason these "Divine-level Beastmasters" were gathered here!


    Facing an indigenous civilization, they could still intimidate them with their various abilities and the heritage from the Civilization Trial.


    But it was completely different with Trial Civilizations.


    Potential, heritage, strength, everything might surpass their own!


    Moreover, the rate at which these performance points were growing was somewhat terrifying!


    Once facing the malice of such Trial Civilizations, even with numerous trump cards, they had no confidence!


    "But we''ll have to make contact sooner or later," another voice said, "Since we can''t avoid it forever, we might as well get to know them first, get the intelligence."


    "Otherwise," someone objected, "the background of this trial is so vast, we each defend our territory, and might not even come into contact."


    "Naive! What trial is ever simple? Like the third trial, if we hadn''t contacted all civilizations and formed an alliance, we couldn''t possibly have passed with minimal losses!"


    "Are you scared out of your wits? You''re all blindly frightened without knowing anything."


    "..."


    Each of these individuals was a major figure presiding over a region, having reached the Extraordinary Fourth Stage, and they were "Divine-level" Beastmasters who hadn''t appeared in the Beast Taming Civilization in tens of thousands of years; their strength was earth-shattering, comparable to gods.


    But at the moment, they were in endless debate, their tone filled with fear.


    After all, in the face of the Civilization Trial, the stronger they were, the more they felt their own insignificance.


    Even being powerful enough to easily destroy planets, inside the trial, they still felt like they were walking on thin ice.


    In the end, everyone turned their gaze to the Strongest among them.


    The President of the Beast Master Association!


    Named Mo Wen.


    He appeared to be an old man, frail and hunched over, his face covered with wrinkles.


    However, even before the Civilization Trial began, he had already been one of the Strongest, and after the trial began, he was luckily endowed with a Golden Legendary Talent!


    The Cangling Civilization had managed to pass through four trials safely, and his contribution was foremost.


    As the discussion gradually subsided, this strong character who had been half-squinting his eyes, taking in everyone''s opinions but remaining silent, finally spoke, "Let''s request the Company Alliance, the Justice Federation to gather intelligence about other ''Hidden Civilizations,'' not just one but all."


    Yes, this was a compromise previously suggested.


    Asking in this manner didn''t necessarily mean that they would get the intelligence of the opponents, as facing such powerful civilizations, both the Company Alliance and the Justice Federation would surely be cautious.


    However, since Mo Wen had spoken, it meant the matter was settled.


    This was precisely the role of an authoritative figure in the trial.


    "Moreover, regardless of what the other civilizations are, whether friend or foe, the most important thing for us remains to swiftly enhance ourselves!" Mo Wen spoke again, "There''s no need to hide our strength anymore. All members, go all out and gather points at all costs!"


    "This..." The others were immediately hesitant.


    They had indeed concealed their strength, their civilization actually had fifty-four Chosen Ones who had reached the Fourth Stage, but only twenty were exposed.


    This was also a normal choice.


    After all, this trial had just begun, and they hardly knew much about the Trial Civilizations or the indigenous civilizations.


    If they didn''t hold anything back, they might fall into danger at any moment.


    But now, they had to deploy their full force? Without any reservations?


    "Once the trump card is exposed, just accumulate new ones!" Mo Wen seemed to discern the hesitation in some people and spoke again, "With the points obtained next, I have decided to bet half of them on treasure chests!"


    Bet on treasure chests!


    Everyone was shocked and looked incredulously at Mo Wen.


    After reaching Store Level 31, a new function had appeared.


    [Treasure Chest Drawing]


    As the name suggested, this function allowed the input of a large amount of points to draw treasure chests of varying qualities by chance!


    Once a Mythical treasure chest was drawn, it was certain to contain Mythical items.


    This would undoubtedly greatly enhance the civilization''s cultural heritage.


    However, if they were unlucky, a large number of points would be wasted!


    Before this, everyone had the same view—not to gamble like a dog unless it was a critical moment.


    But now... to bet half of their points?


    This meant that they had little confidence in safely getting through this trial.


    "Half, even if we lose the bet, we won''t be completely ruined," Mo Wen looked around at everyone present and said solemnly, "I made this decision because half of it is due to the pressure from the civilization ranked first, and the other half, because of the threat from Dimension Space—I suspect, the most powerful enemy in this trial possesses a Golden Legendary Quality ability and has reached the Fifth Stage!"


    Everyone''s mouths fell open.


    This statement was even more shocking than what he had just said!


    Golden Legendary ability, Fifth Stage?


    If that really was the type of enemy, even just one could easily destroy their entire civilization!


    This was not an exaggeration!


    On the Extraordinary Path, the higher the level, the larger the gap between each level.


    Not to mention the Fifth Stage, even just at the Fourth Stage.


    A Level 30 Chosen One with a Purple Epic Talent, if not sufficiently powerful, would have a hard time defeating a Level 31 Non-Chosen One!


    Purple Epic Talent, Purple Epic Ability, equipment, cultivation techniques, elixirs... Only the combination of all these advantages could barely even out the gap created by this mere "Level."


    If it was the Fifth Stage, but the enemy had a low rank, then as long as President Mo Wen''s level approached close to 40, they might stand a chance in a fight. Sёarch* The N?vel?ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    But the Fifth Stage with a Golden Legendary Rank?


    —Betting the entire civilization would still leave them without any hope!

    Could anyone really advance to the Fifth Stage in just this one trial?


    "..." Everyone fell silent, feeling an overwhelming pressure.


    "I am not trying to incite panic," Mo Wen slowly exhaled and spoke again, "You all know, I possess a Level 33 Space Attribute Pet Beast—an Illusion Dream Beast, and I have been researching Dimension Space, particularly the ''Pollution,'' and have nearly grasped its essence, which absolutely reaches the Golden Legendary Quality!"


    The Cangling Civilization did not have an external database.


    Everything had to be discovered by themselves.


    The focal point of this trial must lie in the Dimension Space, and having a research direction made it unsurprising to achieve some results.


    However, the results brought were not good news.


    Mo Wen continued, "The quality is right here, and you should also be able to vaguely sense that previously I was still unsure about the level of the enemy who possesses this ''Pollution Ability,'' but now, given such a terrifying trial civilization..."
