Mecha Battle: Why Do You Use Body to Destroy Stars? - Chapter 286

Chapter 286: Chapter 192: Only One Full Reincarnation_2

“It’s impossible for there to be no enhanced abilities characteristic of a mecha pilot.”

Just then, Jiang Chen had already cleared the Legendary Shadow.

It was time to head to the Purgatory level again to see the stance of the Rebirth Civilization.

…

Purgatory level, the meeting place.

Jiang Chen’s soul descended like a shooting star, transformed into a luminous being, and made his way directly to the area where the Abyss Levels Traveling Merchants were located.

He soon arrived beside a merchant from the Rebirth Civilization and stepped into the halo to merge with it.

“I have just cleared the Legendary Shadow eleven times.”

“Now, you can confirm my identity, can’t you?”

“Of course.”

The Abyss Levels Traveling Merchant felt a mix of emotions, joy being predominant.

After the exchange, Jiang Chen directly cleared the highest difficulty of the three-layer Legendary eleven times, as agreed.

The records left in the Legendary Shadow were more reliable than any other means of identity confirmation.

The key point was…

It was too quick!

During the 2nd Rank, he was a 5th Rank, 6th Rank, 7th Rank.

In front of everyone’s eyes, step by step, he gradually broke through the Legendary Shadow.

He let the entire civilizations of the Purgatory level witness his terrifying potential for growth.

After he broke through to the 3rd Rank, he didn’t even need to grow anymore; he could swiftly clear the 8th Rank Legendary…

It meant his strength had far surpassed this level.

It had reached an immeasurable extent!

Thinking of such a terrifying genius as his future boss, the Abyss Levels Traveling Merchant was already grateful for his decision.

At the same time, he hesitated for a moment before speaking up to explain.

“However, there is something I must clarify with you first—”

“The resources for reincarnation are an important [Civilization Wonder] of the Rebirth Civilization.”

“I am merely a merchant, and the resources I carry are ordinary resources of various ranks, common civilization inheritances, and common special items.”

“I don’t possess such [Miracle Resources].”

“If I want to acquire these resources, I can only submit an application to the council after confirming the reincarnation intentions of a genius mecha pilot…”

The qualification for rebirth is the absolute core of the Rebirth Civilization; it was impossible for a merchant to wander the Abyss Levels carrying a large amount of qualifications.

Jiang Chen had already considered this possibility and, without surprise, said directly,

“It’s fine; you can tell the Rebirth Civilization about your invitation to join the Planet Blue Star civilization.”

“Use this information to apply for the rebirth qualifications.”

“Remember to apply for several… let’s start with ten.”

“…Ten?”

The Abyss Levels Traveling Merchant was shocked.

“Do you know how precious rebirth qualifications are?”

“All the materials I carry now, even if added together, could not possibly exchange for even one rebirth qualification!”

“Several level 8 civilizations of the Purgatory level have also traded with the Rebirth Civilization.”

“However, they have paid a huge price just for one or two rebirth qualifications…”

“…Could it be that bad?”

At these words, Jiang Chen asked curiously.

“I have heard of the Soul Plunder Civilization, which attacks other civilizations, plunders all the souls of the corresponding civilization, and goes through the process of cleansing, remodeling, enslaving them…”

“That should also be a branch of reincarnation, right?”

“The number of mecha pilots a civilization has is incalculable, yet Soul Plunder can take them all away…”

“And your Rebirth Civilization can’t even produce ten rebirth qualifications?”

“Is it that weak?”

“Then how do your own mecha pilots undergo rebirth?”

“…”

The Abyss Levels Traveling Merchant explained resignedly.

“The Soul Plunder Civilization is not on the same path as us.”

“Their [Soul Plunder] uses the souls of mecha pilots as materials, putting them into their Civilization Wonder for cleansing and reshaping…”

“During this process, countless souls are consumed as nutrients to strengthen some souls.”

“The newly born souls that emerge, aside from the enhanced talents, have nothing to do with their past selves…”

“Even the miracle resources they sell are not rebirth qualifications—”

“They are the souls of mecha pilots!”

“Our Rebirth Civilization is different.”

“By consuming a large amount of resources, we cleanse the mecha pilots’ souls of all causal connections, restoring the absolutely pure [Newborn Status], erasing the Abyss Runes, and allowing them to be reborn and retrain.”

“That is true [rebirth].”

“As for your question…”

The Abyss Levels Traveling Merchant continued.

“The Rebirth Civilization is special; if members of our own civilization wish to be reborn, it hardly consumes any resources.”

“However, mecha pilots from other civilizations cannot enjoy the benefits of the Rebirth Civilization.

“Therefore, each slot requires a large amount of resources and is extremely precious.”

“They are the real [Miracle Resources].”

The Abyss Levels Traveling Merchant shook his head.

“You want ten rebirth qualifications; I will apply for them on your behalf…”

“However, I really can’t guarantee if the council will agree,”

Jiang Chen nodded.

Since reincarnation eligibility is so precious, it might be somewhat difficult for Planet Blue Star’s mere verbal promises to exchange for ten of them.

Managing to secure one or two would already be quite an achievement.

Speaking of which…

“Do members of the Rebirth Civilization consume hardly any resources when they seek reincarnation within their own civilization?”

“Then, what about reincarnating from the Rebirth Civilization to another civilization?”

“Does that not require many resources either?”

“…I don’t know.”

The Abyss Levels Traveling Merchant shook his head slightly.

The Rebirth Civilization itself is an extremely ancient civilization, usually drawing in members from other newborn civilizations.

There’s really no need for their own members to jump ship, and nobody has considered this question before.

Jiang Chen pondered thoughtfully and suddenly spoke up.

“If it doesn’t consume much in the way of resources…”

“Doesn’t that mean your Rebirth Civilization could potentially transfer all its members to another civilization at any time?”

“…?!”

The Abyss Levels Traveling Merchant was stunned.

Many years he had spent as a merchant, drawing in so many newcomers, yet he had never thought about this possibility—

And it seemed very likely to be achievable!

Moreover, what Jiang Chen meant by suddenly saying this was…

“If you really want to woo me, there is actually another plan.”

“If all of you reincarnate on Planet Blue Star, wouldn’t you be able to secure me then?”

“…Ah?”

The Abyss Levels Traveling Merchant was truly taken aback.

Jiang Chen was pulling him in not enough, he wanted to absorb the entire Rebirth Civilization?

Luckily, after a moment’s pause, laugher entered his mind.

“Haha, I was just joking, don’t be so tense.”

“You better hurry up and pass the message to the Rebirth Civilization, applying for the reincarnation eligibility.”

“…Okay.”

The Abyss Levels Traveling Merchant breathed a sigh of relief, his heart pounding.

This future boss of his really dared to dream big!

As for Jiang Chen…

He had not actually been joking.

He could see the possibility of [everyone reincarnating] at a glance.

The hope of the Rebirth Civilization couldn’t possibly fail to think of such a maneuver.

In fact, the path that the Rebirth Civilization is now on is precisely the one sculpted by the hope itself.

Enhancing the strength of their own civilization, absorbing powerful beings from other civilizations, enriching their historical depth…

During this process, continually exploring the abyss, seeking the most potential, the most powerful civilizations.

In the end, based on resources, transferring the entire civilization’s membership at once to another!

However, this kind of transfer has only one chance.

Once successful, the ability to reincarnate will be lost.

There is no possibility for any regrets.

The Rebirth Civilization is still able to withstand disasters now and hasn’t reached its limit, so the plan hasn’t been truly initiated.

Instead, it continues to explore the abyss, seeking even more powerful civilizations.

“So this is an ancient civilization…”

“Not only does it possess a profound depth, an abundance of rich power, but it has also left an almost perfect escape for its own civilization.”

“In the shadows, there might be countless more schemes lurking.”

“These long-standing abyssal civilizations should not be underestimated…”

If the Rebirth Civilization were to transfer all its members now, it would certainly not choose Planet Blue Star.

Jiang Chen would not possibly accept the full transfer of the Rebirth Civilization either.

Given Planet Blue Star’s current state, to be taken over by a full transfer would be no different from having their bodies snatched away by the Rebirth Civilization.

However, as it continues to grow more robust in the future, it might consider absorbing the strength of the Rebirth Civilization.

As Jiang Chen was contemplating,

the thought waves from the Abyss Levels Traveling Merchant came once more.

“The application has been approved.”

“Please wait a moment, there will be a new merchant bringing five reincarnation eligibilities to take my place…”

The Abyss Levels Traveling Merchant has a special method of communicating with his civilization without having to leave the Purgatory level.

These words he spoke also indicated that the Rebirth Civilization has recognized the potential of Planet Blue Star

and is willing to foster good relations with it through the offer of five reincarnation eligibilities.

As for the merchant and the resources he carries along with him…

Compared to the reincarnation eligibilities, they’re just a minor additional offering.

Jiang Chen couldn’t help but smile.

“Still calling me ‘your excellency’?”

“…Shida has seen the great one!”

“Good to hear, from now on we’re all one family.”

“Come, send me a copy of the inventory of items you carry. I’ll pick out some good ones.”
