Although I had already guessed that the Zero Civilization wouldn’t offer any help to humanity, hearing it in person still made me angry. Of course, Lu Heng understood that the Zero Civilization was under no obligation to help any other civilization, humanity included. That’s the logic, but being angry is another matter. Lu Heng’s voice grew colder as he asked, "I’ve established a cross-civilization congress called Sword Holders, which means those who guide civilization with the sword. "I have always adhered to a philosophy of trying my best to help other civilizations, to unite together in finding ways to combat the Abyss. "I cannot guarantee that this can defeat the Abyss, but at least I have tried hard, and indeed, I’ve pulled several civilizations back from the brink of destruction. "I really don’t understand why the Zero Civilization doesn’t want to help other civilizations?" Bai Guang: "Because it’s meaningless." This response filled Lu Heng with a sense of desperation. Nearly three years of effort evaluated as "meaningless" by a high-level civilization. Lu Heng narrowed his eyes slightly and continued: "But the Summoning Will doesn’t think so. When you, the Zero Civilization, faced catastrophe, the Summoning Will similarly teleported superpower users from other civilizations to your world. "This shows that the Summoning Will believes you need help and summoned warriors from other civilizations to assist you. "You don’t need to rebut, I know how you handle summoners. "What I want to discuss is another matter. Since the Summoning Will will summon warriors from other civilizations to your world, it indicates your civilization is within summoning rules. "Thus, when other civilizations face crises, they would definitely summon warriors from your civilization too. "I am very curious, how would you handle the summoning when it happens?" This question already touches on the secrets of the Zero Civilization. Lu Heng asked out of curiosity without expecting a response. Unexpectedly, this time Bai Guang gave an answer: "Of course, by removing the summoning." Lu Heng’s gaze sharpened upon hearing this unexpected, yet logical answer. Can summoners remove the summoning when the Abyss Battlefield summons occur? The answer is yes, but very difficult. ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵⟡𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮⟡𝓷𝓮𝓽 Using certain special artifacts can remove the summoning. If there are no special artifacts, there is actually another way to remove the summoning, which is... killing the summoner. During the initial Abyss Descent on Blue Star, a dark forest effect occurred among summoners. At that time, some summoners would post information about the summoning countdown online, only to die the next day. Such events occurred because some family heads and leaders of major forces, after being summoned, would screen other summoners in the same batch. If dissatisfied with them, they would directly kill them, and summoning rules would supplement new summoners. This happened often enough to form the dark forest effect, where people dared not publish summoning information online. The families and forces that committed such acts of killing summoners, due to making too many enemies, easily fell victim to revenge. Because the relatives and friends of those killed might themselves be Superpower Users, and if any of them gained significant combat power, revenge was inevitable. As for how the Zero Civilization removes the summoning, Lu Heng couldn’t guess. According to Bai Guang, the Zero Civilization likely removes all summonings. This can’t be achieved with just one or two special artifacts; there are basically two possibilities. Either the Zero Civilization has mastered the ability to mass-remove summonings, or they would "kill" all summoners? The second possibility exists, because up till now, even what the Zero Civilization essentially is remains unknown. Perhaps the concept of "killing" in Zero Civilization isn’t the same as the human understanding of "killing." Lu Heng had no interest in further communicating with Bai Guang, directly saying: "Alright, regarding the Reincarnation Source Material, I agree with you. You may leave, I need time to prepare for this summoning." Bai Guang said no more, instead, the light quickly faded away, disappearing without a trace. Lu Heng turned to look behind him, as before, Bai Guang’s appearance and disappearance caused no environmental changes. On previous occasions when Bai Guang appeared, Lu Heng attempted to capture the air at Bai Guang’s location in a glass bottle and sent it to the Academy of Sciences for research. The conclusion was it was a bottle of ordinary air, as ordinary as can be. After Bai Guang vanished, Lu Heng went to meet his teammates at the usual spot. All others had already arrived, Lu Heng was the last to show. Lin Zeyu casually joked, "Why are you so late?" Su Muyu explained on behalf of Lu Heng: "He must have communicated with the Zero Civilization; I saw Bai Guang in Lu Heng’s room." Lu Heng nodded and replied, "Yes, I just communicated with the Zero Civilization. So it’s confirmed, this time the summoning’s target world is the Bloodline Demon territory. "That means this is an offensive summoning, and probably the first offensive summoning humanity has encountered." Xie Shi’en nodded thoughtfully, asking the key question: "Do you know the mission details?" Lu Heng shook his head and replied: "No, I’ve asked the Zero Civilization, and they have no knowledge of the task details." Xie Shi’en further inquired: "Does the task have anything to do with Reincarnation Source Material?" Lu Heng shook his head once more: "Still uncertain, according to the Zero Civilization, there might be a relation to Reincarnation Source Material, but judging by their tone, the probability is rather low."
