Dimensional Invasion: I Can Fish for All Heavens

Chapter 476 That's an "Evolution Trustee"! Who doesn't dream of becoming Ultraman?

Su Mengyao left.

After trading the [Thunder Dragon Slayer Crystal] for the "Evolution Trustee", he left.

However, before leaving, Ye Xuan asked her curiously why she didn't put the "Lotus Lantern" in her spatial ring. Was it because the spatial ring was too low-level to store the "Lotus Lantern"?

Su Mengyao didn't speak, but her body stiffened slightly after hearing Ye Xuan's question.

Then Ye Xuan understood.

I just don't know if she did it on purpose or by accident.

After Su Mengyao left, accompanied by a streak of light, a tall and graceful figure with pure white wings appeared behind Ye Xuan.

Angel Yan looked at Ye Xuan with a hint of confusion in her eyes and asked softly:

"Isn't it a bit too early for you to hand over the 'Evolution Trusters' to them?"

"Excessive protection can sometimes stifle a civilization's drive to temper itself and grow in a crisis; flowers in a greenhouse can never truly thrive."

"You should be able to see this clearly from our own experience."

A healthy civilization capable of reaching for the stars and the sea will inevitably experience necessary growing pains, external pressures, and even internal conflicts on its path to growth.

These trials, like the flames and hammers that forge steel, are painful in the process, but they can eliminate weakness, stimulate potential, and unite will, prompting civilization to continuously break through itself in terms of technology, institutions, and spirit.

While excessive or premature intervention may prevent temporary casualties and damage, it could also create dependency in civilizations, weaken their ability and determination to cope with crises, and even delay their independent research and development and breakthroughs in key technologies.

In the long run, this may not be the right approach.

Angel Yan has a particularly deep memory of this.

Although she hadn't experienced it herself, she clearly saw everything that happened to the Angelic Civilization after Queen Keisha went offline.

When Queen Keisha was alive, who could have imagined that the angelic civilization would have such a day?
They relied on Queen Keisha so much that they didn't mature mentally before Queen Keisha was taken offline.

They are completely incapable of shouldering the burden of the angelic civilization.

It was only after watching these scenes that Angel Yan truly understood:
The resilience of a civilization cannot rely entirely on the protection of a few top-tier individuals; it must be rooted in the civilization's own strength and the growth of countless individuals.

Strong individuals like Ye Xuan and Elder Zhong possess immense power, yet their will is independent and their actions are autonomous.

They are not anyone's tools, and they will not and cannot intervene in every crisis in detail. Their actions are often the result of their own will.

As for Ye Xuan and Elder Zhong, they would only care about threats that far exceed the current limits of civilization's ability to cope, threats at the level of national annihilation or even world destruction.

They don't care about routine crises.

They intentionally left necessary space for the self-growth of civilization.

What they hope to see is that, in the face of most non-catastrophic crises, the defense system composed of the warriors, ability users, and the technological weapons they have developed can rely on its own strength to cope, learn, and evolve.

In this process, some people will sacrifice their lives and some cities will suffer damage, but this is also a necessary price to pay for the growth of civilization.

Conversely, if every crisis, big or small, is instantly quelled by powerful figures like Ye Xuan, Elder Zhong, or Duanmu Yan, it may seem good, as if they have nothing to worry about, but in the long run...

The entire civilization will gradually lose its ability to cope with crises independently, and will gradually become dependent on the strong. Once the top strong are unable to take action for some reason, they will become extremely vulnerable.

The sense of urgency and motivation to develop its own military strength, research new weapons, and explore new powers will be greatly reduced.

Technological advancements and the growth of individual strength are often forced out under the pressure of life-or-death situations.

Moreover, excessive reliance on a few individuals can lead to a distorted power structure and a shift in social values, which is not what they want.

Based on this profound consideration, even for "dimensional beings" like Duanmu Yan and Lena who originated from other worlds but have chosen to join and obey the instructions of the Tian Shu Bureau, the Tian Shu Bureau also adheres to the principle of "limited use".

They wouldn't ask Duanmu Yan to eliminate every "mutated creature" that appeared in the city, nor would they ask Lena to provide them with energy.

Their main role is to deal with threats that truly require the strength of their level, and to serve as a spiritual symbol to boost morale.

Those dangers that are relatively low-risk but still serve as "sharpening stones" are left to the ability users who gradually grow in Daxia to solve.

But things changed after Ye Xuan gave them the "Evolution Trusters".

They thus possessed a truly capable eighth-tier powerhouse that could theoretically be cultivated. Even though "adapted individuals" need time to grow and even need a burst of willpower to reach the eighth tier, with the starting point of "evolutionary trustees," they can at least stably exert the combat power of the fifth tier after activation. With a little development and refinement, reaching the sixth tier is not difficult.

This leap in power level is real and tangible.

This means that many crises that the Great Xia Dynasty originally faced, which would have required huge costs and even intervention from figures like Elder Zhong and Duanmu Yan, could now perhaps be resolved by relying on the "Nexus" that it had cultivated itself.

This is precisely what Angel Yan is worried about.

Will this make them prematurely accustomed to relying on the power of this "stronger"?

After all, unlike powerful individuals like Elder Zhong, Duanmu Yan, and Lena who possess their own will, the "Evolution Truster" has no conditions for use, at least not for the "Evolution Truster" manifested by Ye Xuan.

Anyone can use it, but different people can exert different levels of power.

Even if Angel Yan knew that the reason Ye Xuan gave them the title of "Evolution Trustee" was that as his strength increased, the upper limit of the strength of the "dimensional life" that would descend upon Blue Star in the future would also increase.

Enemies of the seventh, eighth, and even ninth tiers may appear.

After acquiring the "Evolution Truster," they will not be powerless against such powerful beings, and may even have the ability to defeat them.

But at this "current" stage, will obtaining such powerful "heavenly treasures" have any impact on them?
"It's just the power used by one person; they know when to use it."

Ye Xuan shook his head and said calmly.

Angel Yan sometimes overestimates humanity's understanding of itself, but at other times she underestimates humanity.

Throughout history, every event that happens to humanity today can be traced back to past examples, even if the manifestations differ, the essence remains the same.

The only difference lies in whether humanity will use past examples to change these things.

Therefore, they understand better than anyone else what aspects make a civilization truly powerful.

The overall system's resilience, the advancement of the technology tree, and the growth of a large number of mid-to-low-level ability users.
They are aware of this, so they would never regard a "treasure of the heavens" with the potential to reach the "eighth rank" as a "daily tool" that can be used at will, but would treat it with the utmost caution and foresight.

It is foreseeable that the Tian Shu Bureau will inevitably formulate extremely strict, even "harsh", usage rules for "Evolution Trusters".

Therefore, Ye Xuan did not think that giving them the "Evolution Trusters" would have any impact.

Angel Yan shook her head slightly as she listened to Ye Xuan's words.

"You really trust them."

This is not a "treasure of the heavens" like an armor summoner or a Kamen Rider transformation device that has requirements for the host and cannot be used without the host's approval. Instead, it is a "treasure of the heavens" that anyone can use. Ye Xuan was not worried at all that they would abuse it.

Was it possible that he trusted those people in Daxia too much? However, based on her understanding of Wang Shouguo and others, she probably deserved Ye Xuan's trust.

She recalled the various responses of the Great Xia Dynasty in the face of the "spiritual energy revival" and the "dimensional invasion".

It has never been reckless in the face of strong individual power, but has always insisted on consolidating its foundation through systematic and technological means; it maintains respect and cooperation with the strong, but never relies on them excessively; even in resource allocation and crisis response, it has shown a rare and valuable overall perspective and sense of historical responsibility that transcends immediate interests.

While the existence of "Academician Zhong" is an indispensable reason, we cannot deny everything they have done because of "Academician Zhong".

The first consideration is how to establish the most rigorous management framework, how to set the correct thresholds for its use, and how to ensure that the use of its power serves the longest-term and most fundamental interests of civilization.

On the other side, Su Mengyao, who had just driven away from the villa area, couldn't wait to dial Wang Shouguo's number.

The call was answered almost instantly. Before Wang Shouguo could even finish his steady "Hello?", Su Mengyao's voice, brimming with barely suppressed excitement and even a little incoherent, boomed through the receiver:
"Director Wang! Director Wang! You absolutely, absolutely cannot believe it! What kind of 'bonus' Ye Shen is giving us this time!!"

"I don't even want to give it to you anymore!"

"How about we discuss this? I'll send Kurumi Tokisaki to the Imperial Capital's Tian Shu Headquarters, and I'll keep this one Ye Xuan gave me in Hangzhou, okay?"

Su Mengyao made a joke, half-jokingly and half-seriously.

Although it was said as a joke, Su Mengyao did have this thought in her heart.

After all, that's an "Evolution Trustee," and after confirming with Ye Xuan, it's the kind that doesn't require any usage conditions and can be used by anyone.

Who doesn't dream of becoming Ultraman?
She wants to transform into Nexus too!

If there were usage restrictions, that would be one thing, but there aren't, so she could use it anyway!
