Chapter 16
"Wisdom Goddess?"
Song Wuyang's expression became solemn. As one of the three ultimate intelligent goddesses, the Wisdom Goddess had the highest authority in the nearby star region, and even in the entire universe of human civilization.
"Why would the Wisdom Goddess contact me so late at night?"
Song Wuyang speculated in his mind. Any action taken by the Wisdom Goddess was the result of countless computations by the intelligence brain and was absolutely not meaningless.
"Could it be that those extraterrestrial beings are attacking?"
Song Wuyang furrowed his brows. Several months ago, the alliance detected traces of extraterrestrial beings in the nearby star region, prompting the conscription action to quickly resolve the extraterrestrial threat.
"Connect."
Song Wuyang's thoughts fluctuated, and he chose to connect. In reality, with the authority possessed by the Wisdom Goddess, even if he refused to connect, it wouldn't have any effect. The Wisdom Goddess could force the connection.
The so-called "connection" authority was proposed by a starlord hundreds of thousands of years ago during a constitutional assembly, claiming to protect citizens' privacy. It was granted to the three goddesses. Even though this authority was practically useless and refusing to connect didn't guarantee non-connection, it served as a fig leaf. This way, during moments of personal matters, he wouldn't suddenly hear the voices of the three goddesses.
As Song Wuyang chose to "connect," a "ding" sound followed.
"The Wisdom Goddess is now connected."
Song Wuyang composed himself, assumed a respectful posture, and carefully asked, "It's quite late. I wonder what the Goddess has to discuss with me?"
The three ultimate intelligent goddesses of human civilization were the Freedom Goddess, the Justice Goddess, and the Wisdom Goddess. They each managed different aspects: the Freedom Goddess oversaw expansion and conquest, the Justice Goddess presided over legal decisions, and the Wisdom Goddess managed citizens' livelihoods and logistics. These three goddesses worked together to support the brilliant civilization of human society.
"According to Article 16 of the Constitution, when a newly discovered evolution path shows potential reaching or exceeding the third tier, it will be jointly discussed and decided upon by the Wisdom Goddess and the highest authority in the nearby region."
The solemn and dignified voice of the Wisdom Goddess echoed.
Song Wuyang's pupils contracted slightly, and he immediately asked, "Are you suggesting that a new evolution path has been discovered, and its potential is expected to reach the third tier?"
In his capacity as the planetary governor, he received numerous new evolution paths every day for approval. However, almost all of them had low potential, and most were ungraded. Occasionally, a stroke of luck might result in the discovery of a first-tier potential.
No wonder the Wisdom Goddess was so cautious, contacting him outside working hours.
If it were an ordinary evolution path, the Wisdom Goddess would have already determined it herself, waiting for Song Wuyang to authorize it during his work hours the next day. However, a potential reaching the third tier was a different matter.
The term "potential" didn't refer to the current upper limit of the evolution path but rather the Wisdom Goddess using immense computing power to simulate the future upper limit of this evolution path.
Any evolution path with potential reaching or exceeding the third tier represented the future and wealth of the entire human civilization. Through such an evolution path, the birth of a third-tier evolver was possible.
"That's correct."
"The planetary governor Song Wuyang, please have a look," the Wisdom Goddess responded.
Instantly, numerous layers of screens flashed before Song Wuyang's eyes, revealing the 'War Scripture' Prenatal and Master chapters submitted by Lin Yuan.
"What is this?" Song Wuyang frowned. As a powerful evolver himself, he immediately realized the extraordinary nature of the War Scripture, representing the terrifying potential of the martial path.
It required minimal external resources and had little demand for 'aptitude.' Even if one didn't ultimately become an evolver through this path, they could still use it to enhance their physique. With extremely high popularity and no restrictive conditions, as well as no weaknesses, it was a path unlike some extreme evolution paths, which were too specialized and vulnerable to specific countermeasures.
"The Master realm of this evolution path should have reached the standard of entry-level evolvers," Song Wuyang judged.
Evolvers from any path were divided into ungraded and entry-level evolvers. Although ungraded evolver possessed powers surpassing ordinary people, their strength was far inferior to entry-level evolvers.
"What's the rank of this evolution path on the Evolutionary Chart of our Canglan Star?" Song Wuyang inquired cautiously.
The Canglan Evolutionary Chart recorded all the evolution paths born on Canglan Star over the past 820,000 years since it became a suitable habitat for life.
"According to the highest intelligent brain calculations, the War Scripture evolutionary path could rank ninety-third on the Canglan Evolutionary Chart."
The voice of the Wisdom Goddess echoed.
"Really on the Evolutionary Chart?" Song Wuyang's expression became slightly complex.
The Canglan Evolutionary Chart recorded the one hundred strongest evolution paths on Canglan Star over its entire history. These one hundred paths had undergone the test of time, with very few changes. At least, since Song Wuyang became the planetary governor, the Canglan Evolutionary Chart had remained unchanged.
"According to Article 86 of the Constitution, concerning the support policy for developing new evolution paths, this evolutionary path will reward the developer with two thousand merit points."
"Does Governor Song Wuyang agree?"
The solemn and dignified voice of the Wisdom Goddess conveyed.
"Two thousand merit points?" Song Wuyang fell into contemplation.
Merit points were the most valuable 'currency' in the universe human alliance, directly distributed by the three goddesses. In human civilization, merit points could achieve almost anything, such as upgrading citizens' levels. With a sufficient number of merit points, one could even command the three goddesses.
Of course, the distribution of merit points depended entirely on contributions to human civilization. The more merit points, the greater the contribution to human civilization, and naturally, the corresponding privileges.
The Wisdom Goddess's decision to grant two thousand merit points to the developer of the War Scripture evolutionary path made Song Wuyang realize that he had underestimated the value of this path.
To put things into perspective, a normal path with potential reaching the third tier would have merit points ranging from eight hundred to one thousand. Very rarely would there be paths with over one thousand merit points, let alone directly granting two thousand merit points.
"I agree," Song Wuyang nodded. The Wisdom Goddess wouldn't show favoritism, so if she believed the value was two thousand merit points, then it must be so.
In Lin Yuan's room, he continued to sit cross-legged on the bed.
"I'm still a bit hungry."
After finishing some snacks in the room, Lin Yuan frowned slightly.
Just then, a solemn and dignified voice echoed, "Respected Citizen Lin Yuan, the martial path evolutionary route you uploaded has been evaluated."
"Oh?" Lin Yuan immediately perked up. The martial path evolutionary route was the culmination of his twenty years of immersion and mastery in the martial world. It represented the ultimate 'Dao Fruit' of Lin Yuan in the world of martial arts. Lin Yuan was eager to know its value in the universe human alliance.
"Citizen Lin Yuan, according to the assessment, the theoretical potential of the martial path evolutionary route is at the third tier, with widespread popularity. Its value is two thousand merit points. Would you like to claim them now?"
"Two thousand merit points?" Lin Yuan's eyes lit up.
He was well aware of the value of merit points. It was the highest honor bestowed by the three goddesses of human civilization, a symbol that could be used to upgrade citizens' levels.
As for two thousand merit points, it was a surprise even for Lin Yuan. Merit points could purchase almost all restricted resources. In the underground black market, a single merit point could fetch astronomical prices, often reaching tens of millions. Even if he sold two thousand merit points at a low price on the black market, it would still amount to hundreds of billions.
"Merit points have been granted," the voice of the Wisdom Goddess resonated.
Lin Yuan immediately noticed that on his account, in the merit points section, the previously unseen 'two thousand' had appeared.
"Upgrade citizen level."
Lin Yuan began the operation. Although merit points were valuable, their most crucial function was to upgrade citizen levels.
As for using merit points as currency to buy goods or converting them into currency through the black market, it was a practice akin to draining a pond to catch fish.
Once the citizen level was raised, who would worry about not having money? Lin Yuan knew that citizens of level two or above could easily obtain interest-free loans of tens of millions annually from the central bank. Many places only required high-level citizens to lend their names, bringing in millions or even billions of income each year.
As Lin Yuan started to upgrade his citizen level, the voice of the Wisdom Goddess resonated once again.
"Universe Level Citizen Lin Yuan, using one thousand merit points, upgraded to Level Two Citizen."
Upon hearing this, a smile appeared on Lin Yuan's face.
Upgrading from Level One Citizen to Level Two Citizen required one thousand merit points. Although he hadn't reached Level Three Citizen, Lin Yuan was already content. Level One Citizens accounted for over 99.9% of the population. Normally, one would find a Level Two Citizen among tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of Level One Citizens, making it an elite and privileged class.
