Chapter 3060: A Brand New Star Era!
Of course, there is no such thing as a truly perfect era rule in this world!
This is an unsolvable issue, an eternal issue. Even the Big Eye and Little Eye have observed for many years and still haven't found the correct answer!
Because there is no perfect era rule, nor is there a correct answer!
Even the currently proposed civilization level classification system has its own imperfections!
For example, within a Level 3 civilization star domain, a Level 39 big shot might strike against a newly promoted Level 31 new race, suppress them, or even unite to suppress them!
But suppression is suppression, and this situation is also allowed to occur!
Will a Level 31 civilization be unable to survive? Not necessarily!
They too can form teams, forge alliances, or even make arrangements before promotion, lay groundwork, or even find a higher-level civilization big brother to put pressure on the Level 39 big shot, latching onto a powerful ally!
There are plenty of methods, and although the gap between 1 and 9 does exist, it's not so huge that they can't fight at all!
If a Level 31 civilization isn't confident enough to survive within the circle of the strongest Level 39s, and can't even withstand this, then what's the point of talking about promotion and development? They would eventually be eliminated sooner or later!
The starry sky is not just about fighting and killing; there are also human relationships and social intricacies!
If you can't win with fists, then use your brain. The development of a race is multifaceted, and the interest networks are extremely vast. It's not simply about charging through all the way!
Although the civilization level system is like this, it still leaves a lot of room for maneuver. I believe that soon, various races will figure out the survival strategies under the new rules!
It is precisely because of this imperfection that an era gains its vitality!
What Jiangnan wants is not perfection, like a nanny's care; he wants reasonable, healthy upward competition!
But no matter how the rules change, this world remains one where the weak are prey to the strong, and the strong always prevail!
The strong enjoy the best resources and also have a certain degree of control over the weak.
If you envy the ecosystem of the strong?
Then become strong!
The civilization level system gives the weak the right to survive, but it also restricts the boundaries of the strong!
Pinning opponents at the same civilization level is already the maximum protection!
At least it avoids the situation of max-level big shots bullying newcomers!
Moreover, if the classification were further subdivided, it might backfire!
Because these experiences are summarized by the Big and Little Eyes from observing countless worlds, this civilization level classification system is the most vibrant and can last the longest!
There are even records of it lasting over 150 billion years, with the shortest being around 80 billion years!
Compared to the Eternal Era's over 5 billion years and the Thousand Stars Era's 2.2 billion years, this is already very good!
But no matter how good an era is, it will eventually collapse one day!
Perhaps a hundred billion years from now, the era rules personally established by Jiangnan will also collapse, and the civilization level system will cease to exist. If that time comes, perhaps Jiangnan won't care anymore...
Leave everything to future generations. They might give a more perfect answer than Jiangnan, establish a new era, and continue the glory!
Just then, Ai Jiang waved her small hand, and the detailed rules of the era rules were displayed on the conference table!
"All the specific details about the new era are here. Later, a Starry Sky Monument Terminal will be erected at the center of the Ten Thousand Races Starry Sky World. As long as the era does not collapse, the monument will not fall!"
"Does anyone think any point is inappropriate, or have any suggestions to add? If the majority thinks it's okay, additions, deletions, or modifications can be made!"
Innocent directly raised his hand:
(ﾟ口ﾟ)ﾂ "I suggest adding a weapon purchase restriction agreement. To purchase weapons of different specifications from other races, the corresponding race civilization level must be met!"
"Of course, this method still cannot prevent high-power weapons from flowing into low-level star domains, but that would require going through the black market or other trading methods. At least in the rules, some restrictions must be made!"
Jiangnan raised an eyebrow: "That's possible! Ai Jiang, draft a specific agreement!"
Gamma also directly raised his hand: "I propose setting up more truce trading zones like the Starry Star City in the major star domains, to promote trade while also providing a relative buffer for competition among races in the same star domain, thus giving more choices!"
Ling Miao wiped his nose: "What about a trade alliance? Build a trade alliance that protects trade and expands sales channels, making it more convenient for races to import and export goods and resources, and also better implement weapon control agreements!"
Jiangnan smiled: "Anything else?"
Just then, the leader of the Hidden Mist Clan, Yun Yan, raised her hand:
꒰๑◔﹏◔ิ๑꒱ "I... can I speak?"
Jiangnan smiled and asked: "So... do you think the Hidden Mist Clan isn't part of the Ten Thousand Races Starry Sky World?"
Yun Yan blushed, gathered her courage, and said:
꒰⸝⸝ᵒ̴̶̷᷄﹏ᵒ̴̶̷᷅⸝⸝꒱ "No... I didn't mean that!"
Jiangnan shrugged and laughed: "Then why can't you make suggestions? We are building our own world. Since you are a member of the starry sky world, you certainly have the right to make suggestions!"
"Opportunity only comes once, don't miss it!"
Yun Yan's eyes lit up with a dazzling light: "I suggest... suggest that after a primitive planet undergoes pioneering and is brought into the novice village for development, a new protection zone should be established!"
"The protection period doesn't need to be very long, just enough time for the primitive planet to adapt to the competitive environment. This would greatly increase the probability of the primitive race's survival!"
Jiangnan nodded: "That's a good opinion! Ai Jiang~ consider the setting of the protection zone. No need for excessive protection, just maintain the transition period!"
"Anything else?"
With that question, the leaders of the original slave races all raised their hands!
(๑ﾟꇴﾟ)ﾂ "Me! Me too! I suggest..."
(งᵒ̌ꇴᵒ̌)ง "Me! We also have our own ideas, definitely useful!"
For a moment, the scene was extremely heated, and the eyes of those weak race leaders were red!
Finally! The starry sky can finally hear our voices!
Having endured long years, we are now standing at the starting point of the future!
At this moment, they felt a strange sense of security, which came from the protection of the rules, but they also felt a sense of urgency and crisis, which also came from the era's rules!
For a race to develop and grow, this state is the best possible!
Jiangnan laughed heartily: "No rush! We're not in a hurry! Speak slowly. The new era rules will be built bit by bit in the hands of each of us!"
"Every one of us can hold the pen and carve our own stroke on the era monument!"
Thus began a long and fierce discussion, with the conference table buzzing with excitement and spittle flying everywhere!
Arguments turned faces red, and some even wanted to run out and fight. Others laughed heartily with beaming faces, talking so fast it sounded like rap!
Those who knew thought it was about establishing the rules of the new era; those who didn't might think it was a clearance sale at some vegetable market!
As the saying goes, three cobblers with their wits combined equal Zhuge Liang, let alone so many race leaders gathered together!
Everyone was offering their suggestions and opinions, and the new era rules underwent repeated deletions, additions, and modifications!
All the details were gradually added and refined!
At this moment, the Big Eye and Little Eye were lying on the table, recording like crazy!
For them, wasn't this a ready-made case? Definitely worth learning from!
The meeting lasted an incredibly long time! One week! Three weeks!
One month...
Jiangnan felt like his butt had grown calluses from sitting, but eventually, the fiercely discussing conference room fell silent!
I saw that each race leader had bulging eyes and sunken cheeks, looking as if they had been drained dry, even worse than when Jiangnan held meetings!
Some lay on the conference table, others leaned back in chairs, motionless!
Jiangnan's hair was also as messy as a bird's nest, with two big dark circles under his eyes, looking utterly exhausted!
Over the past month and more, everyone's brains had been thoroughly stirred!
Finally, the era rules were perfected, covering every aspect!
The era would operate under the new rules, and no matter what situation arose, there would be reference points!
Jiangnan raised a finger:
(›´ω`‹) "No more objections? Hurry up! Everyone sign and seal, all sign their names, and this thing takes effect!"
"Stamp it on the heart of the realm, quickly!"
This time, no one raised any objections. The rules had been perfected to the extreme under the current circumstances!
Of course, the rules would also change with the development of the era. Later modifications could be made on the Starry Sky Monument!
...
At the heart of the Ten Thousand Races Starry Sky World, an enormous Starry Sky Monument Terminal was created!
It allowed all life in the starry sky to view it. The monument's surface was covered with dense inscriptions, flickering in and out of sight, looking exceptionally sacred and solemn!
Every race leader who attended the meeting signed their race and name on it, leaving their aura!
The final stroke would be made by Jiangnan!
Everyone looked at Jiangnan with great anticipation. Once Jiangnan made his mark, the new era rules would take effect!
It would also mark the beginning of the new era!
Noah smiled:
(◕͡°͜ʖ͡°) "Name this brand new era, for good luck!"
Jiangnan raised an eyebrow: (๑◔～◔ิ) "Huh? Me?"
Everyone nodded, and Youming smiled:
(๑⁼̴ꇴ⁼̴) "You deserve it!"
Everyone's faces were full of smiles!
Just then, an ill-timed voice sounded!
(๑◔﹏◔ิ๑) "Um... are you really sure you want Jiangnan to name the new era? That way, the new era might be called the Super Newbie Era, the Super Awesome Era, or just think of a random name without knowing what to call it..."
The speaker was Xia Yao...
At that moment, everyone's eyes widened, and their faces turned white!
=͟͟͞͞(꒪ᗜ꒪‧̣̥̇)
They just remembered Jiangnan's name-crippling trait!
He had a track record of names like Death Grand Off-Road, Deadly Bicycle, Two-Armed Fish, and so on!
If he really gave a lousy name, future generations would probably laugh at them for hundreds of billions of years!
Noah's mouth twitched:
(•́﹏•̀٥) "Think thrice! Think thrice, you!"
Jiangnan's face darkened:
(̿▀̿̿Ĺ̯̿̿▀̿̿)̄ "You underestimate me, don't you? After all, I'm a Universe Realm powerhouse, invincible under heaven, okay?"
With that, he directly made his mark on the Starry Sky Monument!
[Human! Era Lord: Jiangnan!]
[This monument, the era rules, are jointly guarded by all living beings of the Ten Thousand Races Starry Sky World!]
[If anyone violates, ignores the rules, or destroys the common efforts of all living beings, my Jiangnan's blade will reach them! Though far, shall be punished!]
[May the era be prosperous and brilliant, flourishing like a dream; may all living beings live in peace and happiness, with thriving clans and peaceful people; may this monument be eternal!]
[The era is named: The Star Era!]
Jiangnan's brush moved like a dragon, writing the final stroke on the Starry Sky Monument!
"Rumble!"
Blazing starlight burst forth from the Starry Sky Monument, shooting up into the sky. The pillar of starlight pierced deep into the star sea, as if it could illuminate every corner of the Ten Thousand Races Starry Sky World!
At this point, the new era rules took effect!
The Star Era would from this moment step into the future!
Jiangnan smiled, looking up at the soaring starlight!
(꒪ͦ◡꒪ͦ๑) "Always remember this moment! This is a world without gods, a world of living beings, a world governed by all of us together!"
"Every race is like a bright star shining in the starry sky, emitting its own unique starlight!"
"Countless stars form that sea of stars, the starlight of the stars interweaving together, jointly composing the brilliance of the entire era! We... are the stars that light up the sky!"
"Starlight will reach every corner of the world, writing the beauty of our era! Time will record all of this!"
"The new era starts from here! From here, we will step into the future!"
At that moment, Jiangnan looked at the starlight with deep emotion, rambling on and on!
And everyone, watching this scene, breathed a sigh of relief!
(٥︶3︶) "Hoo~ Fortunately, although the era name isn't very literary, it's decent and acceptable. At least it's not messed up, still listenable, not bad, not bad!"
Jiangnan: (ꐦ°᷄◡°᷅) ???
