The Sword Holder received astronomical funding, but Lu Heng does not intend to blindly expand the scale of the Sword Holder. The true purpose of establishing the Sword Holder is for humans to hold a sword capable of saving civilization. The Sword Holder will not be confined to humans; any allied civilizations can join to collectively find ways to fight the Abyss. According to Lu Heng’s idea, the Sword Holder for human civilization and the Anti-Demon Alliance Army of the Elf Civilization share the same goals. Both aim to fight against the Abyss and save civilization. From a civilizational perspective, the Sword Holder is far above those who pursue profit through petty means. The philosophy of the Sword Holder is even somewhat idealistic. An idealistic goal requires a mindset that transcends profit to support it. Involving those capitalist families who use any means for profit in the Sword Holder would only taint the organization’s philosophy. Therefore, the Sword Holder truly needs likeminded individuals. Such individuals are unlikely to be plentiful, so the size of the Sword Holder is destined to remain small. After the Bloodline invasion incident came to an end, Lu Heng returned to Coastal and met with Li Guining, having a brief chat about the philosophy of the Sword Holder. Li Guining expressed support and recognized the philosophy of the Sword Holder. Of course, Li Guining could not join the Sword Holder because he is the chief of the Southern War Zone, and apart from the party, he cannot join any organization. Lu Heng never thought of inviting a battle zone chief to join the Sword Holder; discussing it with him was merely to convey the philosophy of the Sword Holder and thereby gain the understanding and support of the Da Xia Military. Thus, the goal has been achieved. As time progressed into the end of April in the third year of the Abyss Descent. Another human was summoned to that peculiar Demigod Civilization, the same one Yuan Yaoyao had visited. Yuan Yaoyao was summoned to that civilization, stayed in a strange space for fifteen days, received compensation from the Demigod Civilization, and then returned. No conflicts occurred during that period, nor were any Abyss Battlefield missions executed. According to Yuan Yaoyao, she spent half a month in the strange space created by the Demigod Civilization watching dramas using a Light Computer, then returned and received a Skill Slot as compensation. Anyone hearing such a thing would find it unbelievable, but it indeed happened. This time, someone in Da Xia’s troop sequence experienced this Demigod Civilization’s summons. Due to the bizarre nature of this summons, the Battle Zone Staff analyzed for three days without reaching a final conclusion. This morning, Qi Jinhui called Lu Heng hoping to meet and discuss this peculiar summons. Lu Heng was equally curious when he heard about this Demigod Civilization summons. In the memories of the previous life, Lu Heng vaguely felt that the reason for rebirth might be related to this Demigod Civilization. So upon receiving the call, Lu Heng went to the Battle Zone Headquarters to meet the staff led by Qi Jinhui. "This is the Abyss Battlefield’s data, not much content, take a look first." Qi Jinhui pushed a file to Lu Heng. Lu Heng opened it up, finding it much as expected. Indeed, it was the summons from the Demigod Civilization Yuan Yaoyao had experienced; the records in the file included the Main Quest and Challenge Task of the summons. The first Main Quest, establish diplomatic relations with the target world’s Zero Civilization. The second Main Quest, attempt to investigate the reason for the civilization process stagnation of the Zero Civilization. The third Main Quest, survive for fifteen days. Next were the Challenge Tasks. The first Challenge Task, kill 5 Abyss Summoners. The second Challenge Task, find the Abyss Pollution Source and clear the pollution source. The third Challenge Task, help the Zero Civilization overcome the civilization stagnation state. After reading the task information, Lu Heng was not surprised, as the task content was basically the same as Yuan Yaoyao’s experience, with only minor differences in task details. In other words, this civilization has been repeating summons, and the issue of civilization process stagnation has not yet been resolved. Only after Lu Heng turned to the last page of the document did Qi Jinhui start to speak: "There’s too little information about this Zero Civilization, so we want to ask if it’s possible to obtain relevant information from the Knowledge Ancient Tree of the Elf Clan or other Otherworld Civilizations?" Lu Heng closed the file, nodded, and said: "I know some information about this civilization and have inquired about it from the Knowledge Ancient Tree. "The Knowledge Ancient Tree regards this civilization as a Demigod Civilization, meaning the level of this civilization is very high, high to the point where humans cannot comprehend it." Upon hearing this answer, all the staff, including Qi Jinhui, showed surprised expressions. "Demigod Civilization? Such a powerful civilization, does it have a way to combat the Abyss?" This was the first reaction from the staff present, with one staff member voicing the question. Lu Heng pondered for a moment and replied, "I can’t give a definite answer to that question either, but personally, I think this Demigod Civilization doesn’t have a complete method to purify the Abyss. "This can be seen from the summoned task information from the Abyss Battlefield, which mentions that this Demigod Civilization also suffered an Abyss invasion and has the Abyss Pollution Source. "Moreover, this civilization’s development process has stagnated. "The summons task hopes the summoner investigates the cause of this civilization’s development process stagnation. "In other words, this civilization’s process has stalled for some reason. "The only reason that could cause a Demigod Civilization’s development to stall that I can think of is the Abyss." ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ noveⅼfire.net
