Chapter 107: Chapter 107: Other Planets?
“Talent Quality Upgrade?” Shen Hao was truly surprised this time.
“Yes, we were also surprised,” Dong Gong said with a smile. “After all, the Chosen One interface had emphasized that Soul Talent is unchangeable. However, this is not a change but an upgrade, an Enhancement on the existing basis. For instance, your sister’s Talent has been upgraded from Boxer to Boxing Sect.”
“I see,” Shen Hao understood. “That’s indeed good news. This reward option must be selected.”
Blue Talent, compared to White Talent, is indeed a lot more powerful.
Although abilities can compensate to a certain extent, Soul Talent and even profession are somewhat related. If there is an opportunity, it is natural to upgrade.
“The other four have also chosen this option. They’re all graded A or B and can choose three or two options out of seven. However, it seems that only those with White Talent get this option. Joey from the West State also made it into the top ten with a B grade, but he can’t upgrade his Talent to Purple Epic,” Dong Gong said, his tone lacking much envy.
He did not regret not choosing the field of combat.
The job at hand was what he was best at.
Moreover, in this Civilization Trial, Shen Hao had almost condensed a “Divine Rank”; many people envy his current job.
Some even secretly described him as the “Divine’s Attendant.”
Although it was in jest, as the Trials progressed and as Shen Hao grew stronger and continued to lead Human Civilization to overcome the Trials, it might not be so impossible that it becomes true one day.
Dong Gong knew better than anyone that the world truly changed.

“Give me a detailed report on their evaluations and options,” Shen Hao became somewhat interested.
“Yes,” Dong Gong complied.
With his report, Shen Hao also learned the specific rewards for Qiuyue and the others.
Their points evaluation was all A grade, and their strength improvements were A grade too. Only their contributions were a bit lower: Qiuyue and Song Cheng had B’s while the other three had C’s.
After all, it was only her and Song Cheng who had large-scale destructive powers, making point-gaining or battle support more efficient.
And their reward options, aside from improving Talent Quality, also included getting equipment, ability balls, and ability bars.
However, the equipment was only Purple, and the ability bar could only increase by one spot.
Moreover, they didn’t have as many odd and peculiar items as Shen Hao, not even the chance for professional matching.
“Aside from the ability bar, pick equipment for the remaining choice,” Shen Hao said. “The Ability Ball Furnace function unlocked in the Level 9 Mall still poses a good chance of obtaining ability balls.”
“This is also the opinion of the Analysis Department,” Dong Gong said with a smile. “What about your choice, group leader? Do you need the assistance of the Analysis Department?”
“No, I won’t need it for now,” Shen Hao refused.
“Understood,” Dong Gong didn’t say anything more.
In fact, the Analysis Department now estimated that there was at least a thirty percent probability that Shen Hao’s Talent was Mythical, and the remaining seventy percent probability was also far beyond the top-tier Golden Legendary Talent!
His many performances, including point acquisition, equipment drops, and that incredulously huge detection range, were too strong.
Especially since they learned from some captured Blood Demon Mothers that the Blood Demon Commander who presided over the ambush on Shen Hao that day had reached Level 11, which was the Second Stage on the Extraordinary Path.
This represented a fundamental difference in life level compared to Level 10.
Yet, in Shen Hao’s presence, it remained utterly powerless.
This kind of gap, this kind of power, had surpassed their understanding.
However, the more this was the case, nobody came to ask Shen Hao, not even proposals related to it. All data concerning Shen Hao, including some initially made public and some from his performance in this war, had been sealed as top secret.
The Civilization Trial had made it clear that there wasn’t much time to rest, and the next Trial would soon arrive.
All of humanity, including them, needed Shen Hao, the true Savior.
“Are there any specific changes to this Civilization Reward?” Shen Hao asked again.
“There are,” Dong Gong’s tone picked up, clearly excited. “The domestic Cultivation Research Institute has already verified at the first opportunity that our world is continuously giving birth to ‘Extraordinary Elements.’ Some experimental cultivators no longer need to hold Spirit Stones, Demon Crystals, or remain in man-made extraordinary environments. They can cultivate anywhere! Moreover, some experts have detected the effects of these Extraordinary Elements on people and objects. It may be weak now, but as the concentration increases further, the impact on the whole world, and even on every individual, will be enormous and far-reaching!”
Their planet was a material world devoid of Extraordinary Power, which had been verified in various ways when Chosen Ones first appeared.
But now, everything was different.
The possibility of All People becoming Transcendent was truly within reach!
Even without widespread cultivation, these Extraordinary Elements would greatly benefit individuals.
Current research has shown that living in such an environment for a long time would result in healthier bodies, longer lifespans, and possibly even greater chances of birthing unrecognized “geniuses” or “heroes.”
To call it a reward was no mistake.
This was a genuine “Spiritual Energy revival,” and a beneficial one at that, not the kind that would bring great harm!
Even if it only rose to “Level 10” for now, the performances of Level 8 to 9 Chosen Ones made this “Level 10” worth looking forward to!
“We must also move swiftly in this area, even though we still prioritize technology, enhancing the strength of individual members of civilization is also essential,” Shen Hao instructed. “I have a premonition that future trials will not always be like this one, emphasizing the importance of the Chosen One. It’s vital to develop the entire civilization comprehensively.”
“Yes! I will convey your attitude,” Dong Gong’s expression also became slightly more serious.
In fact, Shen Hao was reminded of the apocalyptic visions he initially saw in his dreams.
Some involved gathering immense power within oneself, possessing strength that far surpassed the level of the entire civilization.
But still, they were helpless in the face of certain trials.
Endowed with power, yet unable to save one’s own civilization.
Since Shen Hao had a cheat, it was decided from the start that he would take a dual approach, aiming to be sovereign and wanting everyone to be like dragons!
“What about the Pocket World Blessed Land and Magic Secret Realm?” Shen Hao asked again. “This reward should also be very important.”
“We’ve started establishing an exploration system at the earliest opportunity, in the hope of finding them all as soon as possible,” Dong Gong said with some anticipation. “I don’t know what exactly will be inside. It feels like fantasy has become reality. However, even if they’re empty, the mere addition of more space is already immensely valuable. If necessary, these seemingly hidden spaces could even become humanity’s last line of defense.”
Although everyone hopes that day will never come, this reward indeed has the potential to become a trump card.
Everyone has high expectations for it.
Especially for the alien relics.
The Global United Front even quickly assembled several teams comprised of top adventurers and explorers, hoping to search in places seldom visited by humans. According to humanity’s past imaginations, such entities should also appear in those places.
In short, they would scour the entire world to find them all.
“Keep searching. Once the remaining Blood Demons are dealt with, I’ll also give it a try,” Shen Hao said, also full of expectation.
After ending the call, he didn’t waste any time. He got on his own fighter jet and flew straight towards the Northern Alliance.
Now, his fighter jet had also undergone several updates and upgrades, and what he was riding now was a single-person space shuttle, purchased from the White Level 15 Mall.
That’s right, a genuine space shuttle!
Nuclear fusion power, anti-gravity engine, easily breaking through the first and second cosmic velocities. Although it’s not big—only about the size of an airliner carrying over a hundred passengers—it doesn’t have the curvature engine, superluminal engine, or even the jump engine found in science fiction works. But there’s no big issue with a trip to the Moon.
The level of technology far exceeds humanity’s current aerospace standards.
For intraplanetary travel, it’s incredibly fast.
Moreover, it’s equipped with anti-load facilities for comfort. Even ordinary people could move around freely during acceleration processes involving dozens of times the gravitational load.
Although it is just for private civilian use, therefore lacking weaponry or a huge cargo hold, for transportation, it’s a top-level enjoyment.
The only regret is that the technology blueprint for this kind of shuttle has not yet appeared in the Level 15 Mall.
But this has made some who are in the know very excited.
After passing the trial and winning the war, what awaits humanity is indeed a new era!
However, the ending of the trial and matters regarding the rewards are currently known only to the Chosen One and a select few, not yet disclosed to all people. After all, the war with the Northern Alliance is still not over, and there are still a substantial number of Blood Demons remaining in this world.
When Shen Hao arrived at the Northern Alliance, he received an incredibly fervent welcome.
The frontline warriors and the people still under the threat of the Blood Demons had been expecting him for too long.
If not for the strict military control, the streets would likely be filled with enthusiastic fans.
Shen Hao did not bother with making speeches or saying something in front of the camera; instead, he responded with actual action.
In just a few hours, as night fell, he had slain over three million Blood Demons!
After all, these Blood Demons were cornered into a not-so-widespread area.
Once Shen Hao arrived, he could freely unleash full firepower.
Until night fell, he received an urgent communication from Dong Gong.
“Team leader, look at the sky! There’s one close to the Moon!”
Upon hearing this, Shen Hao looked up and locked onto the Moon that had followed him here.
And then, immediately, he saw the stars—two bright, very distinct and rather large stars!
After losing a sky full of stars for over two and a half months, humanity finally saw stars in the dark night sky again.
But this time, they were not the familiar ones.
Instead, they were two strange, very close stars!
“What is that?” A guess appeared in Shen Hao’s mind. “Other… planets?”
