Pretending to be a genius starts with the civilization advancement assessment.

Chapter 191 Consignment, the Tragedy of the Weak
Outer space, the Emerald Whisper Starship.

The Star Language Sprite hovered in front of the main control panel, its slender fingers lightly tapping in the air, processing massive amounts of data.

Suddenly, it received a message from the intelligent life form of the divine mount, and its eyes, composed of pure light particles, widened slightly.

"High-intensity rule power detected. Source energy characteristic analysis rule ratio recalibrated," the Star Language Sprite's voice carried a hint of doubt. "Rule comprehension estimated: 41%!"

It immediately transmitted this message, along with a detailed data stream, to Irelia, who was resting with her eyes closed.

Irelia's long eyelashes fluttered, and she slowly opened her eyes.

When she saw the data transmitted by Xingyu, her deep pupils, as dark as an emerald nebula, suddenly contracted.

41%?

She almost thought her perception was flawed.

She had already confirmed that Lin Yi's talent far surpassed that of ordinary people.

To increase one's understanding of rules from 16% to 31.5% within a year is already astonishing and would place one of the top ranks even within the Pan-Spirit Alliance.

The subsequent six months of stagnation seemed perfectly normal to her.

Understanding the rules is like climbing a dangerous mountain; the higher you go, the more difficult it becomes. It's common to encounter bottlenecks, stagnate, or even make no progress for decades.

She had optimistically predicted that, given Lin Yi's demonstrated potential, this bottleneck might not hold him back for long, and he should make a breakthrough within ten or twenty years.

But only six months have passed.

Instead of a slow climb, it jumped directly from 31.5% to 41%?

This speed is by no means something that can be achieved by practicing step by step.

The understanding of the rules becomes increasingly profound and obscure as you progress, and each improvement requires a tremendous amount of effort and time to refine and comprehend them.

Such a leap, unless
A thought flashed through Irelia's mind.

She immediately instructed the Star Language Sprite: "Star Language, retrieve his recent cultivation records and match the characteristic 'sudden enlightenment'."

"Command received; relevant information detected."

With a wave of her hand, the Star Sprite unfurled a virtual screen in front of Irelia.

The scene flashes back quickly, finally settling on a point in time not long ago.

Lin Yi sat alone on a rock by the sea. Fine, silky golden electric sparks began to swirl around him. This was not an ordinary manifestation of source energy, but a strange phenomenon caused by the overactive power of the rules.

"It really was an epiphany."

Irelia murmured to herself, a hint of understanding flashing in her eyes, but it was quickly replaced by a deeper shock.

How long has it been since your last epiphany?

Now I've fallen into another epiphany!
Irelia was silent for a moment, her emerald green eyes gleaming as if she were weighing something.

Her slender fingers tapped lightly on the armrest of the seat unconsciously.

After a while, she seemed to have made a decision and looked up at the Star Fairy.

"Star Language, list the ownership certificate of the 'Azure Wave' life-bearing planet that my grandmother gave me when I was a thousand years old on the Pan-Spirit Alliance virtual network trading platform for consignment, and indicate the available resources and ecological environment summary."

The Star Sprite's light and shadow flickered, seemingly somewhat surprised, but it didn't ask any further questions, simply replying, "Command confirmed. Connecting to the pan-universe trading platform for property rights information."

"At the same time," Irelia continued, her gaze turning again to the blue planet below, her eyes filled with complex emotions, "we will compile a detailed list of all life-bearing planets with similar ecosystems to Blue Star within the human territory of the Purple Gold Star Alliance on the trading platform."

"Task added, information filtering in progress," the Star Language Sprite efficiently executed the command.

After that, Irelia stopped talking and just quietly looked at the blue star.
-
Five days later.

The small-scale tsunami that lasted for several days has largely subsided globally.

Within the Xia Kingdom, the Yuanwu Army and local garrisons are clearing away the last remnants, and reconstruction work is being planned.

Meanwhile, a plenary meeting of the Blue Star Community is also being held.

Inside the enormous conference hall sat representatives from various member states of the Blue Star Community, with their respective advisors and recorders behind them. A holographic projection hovered in the center of the hall, clearly displaying a global map and data from the recently concluded Abyss War, creating a solemn and dignified atmosphere.

The Director of the Community Strategic Defense Agency, a serious-looking Xia Kingdom general with meticulously combed hair, was summarizing the small-scale abyss defense operation conducted by the entire Blue Star Community. "In conclusion, this abyss was a comprehensive test of the achievements of our defense system construction over the past two years."

The director's voice was clearly transmitted to each delegate through the simultaneous translation system.

"Data shows that thanks to the promotion of Source Energy Guidance Technique, the establishment of the Dongfeng Military Academy system, and the incentives of the Merit Exchange System, the number and average strength of Source Energy Warriors in each member country have significantly improved. In dealing with this crisis, most member countries have demonstrated strong homeland defense capabilities and successfully contained the Abyss within a controllable range. In particular, the defense systems of several major powers operated efficiently, and losses were kept to the lower limit of expectations."

Then, he changed the subject, his tone becoming serious.

"However, we must also be soberly aware of the shortcomings and challenges. In some areas, especially those where energy infrastructure construction is lagging behind and internal integration is not yet fully in place, defense remains difficult, with varying degrees of stalemates, and even requiring emergency external support to stabilize the situation."

"We should learn profound lessons from this experience. We believe that the community should strengthen cooperation in the following areas in the future: the real-time nature and accuracy of intelligence sharing mechanisms need to be improved; the development of cross-regional rapid response forces should be put on the agenda; and joint plans for clearing out high-level hideouts need to be further improved."

The director's summary was objective and rigorous, acknowledging the achievements while also addressing the problems, thus setting the tone for the subsequent discussion.

Following this, the speakers from various countries began their presentations.

The English representative spoke first, affirming the core role of the East Peak branch in enhancing the country's energy defense capabilities, and emphasizing the successful experience of the Renton Tower defense line stabilizing and counterattacking under the leadership of Ms. Elizabeth and Principal Chen Yu. He also proposed strengthening horizontal exchanges between the branch schools.

The Russian representative, speaking in a loud voice, emphasized the tenacity of the "Giant Bear" special operations team trained by his country's East Peak Branch School, as well as the irreplaceable role of heavy equipment on the front lines. He also expressed his hope that the community could provide more support in terms of combat equipment technology for polar environments.

Representatives from Frankfurt, Juncker, and other countries also spoke, with similar content, emphasizing their own efforts, expressing gratitude for limited cooperation, and subtly raising their respective needs.

America's representative devoted a great deal of time to explaining the "unique advantages" and "valuable experience" of integrating her domestic energy forces with the Dongfeng system, her tone carrying a hint of trying to regain face.

Although the atmosphere in the meeting room was serious, it also carried a sense of relaxation that "the overall situation is settled and the problems are under control".

Until several representatives from African countries spoke.

The room fell silent, and everyone's eyes turned to the few representatives with dark skin and faces that showed undisguised fatigue and anxiety.

They come from those countries that are surrounded by deep red on the sand table, struggling to survive.

Finally, a middle-aged representative from Gango stood up.

He was thin, wearing a neat but slightly worn suit, and his eyes were bloodshot.

He took a deep breath and, instead of using his mother tongue, spoke in Xia Guoyu (Chinese Mandarin) with a slight accent, but exceptionally clear pronunciation:
"Mr. Chairman, fellow members of the community."

His way of speaking surprised many people, but soon, some astute representatives seemed to understand what was going on.

Clearly, this representative knew that what he needed most at this moment was someone's support and understanding.

"First of all, on behalf of Gangguo and several neighboring countries in similar situations," his voice was a little hoarse, "I would like to express my sincerest gratitude to Xia Kingdom and Dongfeng Military Academy. Thank you for helping us build our energy defense capabilities, and thank you for your instructors who fought alongside us despite the hardships. Without the efforts of Dongfeng Branch School, we could not have survived until today."

He bowed slightly, his attitude earnest.

"At the same time, we would like to express our sincere gratitude for the miraculous remote support provided a few days ago."

At this point, his voice trembled slightly, almost imperceptibly. He paused, forcibly controlling his emotions, "It was this that pulled us back from the brink of national subjugation. We will never forget this kindness."

The room was completely silent; you could hear a pin drop.

Everyone could feel the weight of his near-death experience in his words.

However, his expression did not become more relaxed; instead, it became even more sorrowful.

"However, distinguished delegates, the crisis is not over. It is like the sword of Damocles hanging over our heads, which could fall again at any time."

He raised his head, his gaze sweeping over the attendees, especially the representatives of the major powers, his eyes filled with an almost desperate plea.

"In our region, neighboring countries that have not joined the community have been completely overrun. The 'hive' has spiraled out of control and is spreading like a plague. Our land is being relentlessly squeezed and cut apart by the ever-expanding 'hive' territory! Our soldiers are bleeding every day, our cities are turning into ruins, and our farmland is reduced to scorched earth."

His voice trembled: "Countless women are dying from lack of food and clean water; countless children are losing their lives before our very eyes due to the lack of even the most basic medical care. Ladies and gentlemen, these are not just statistics; they are real lives."

He used almost all his strength to plead desperately, "We have done our best, we have shed our last drop of blood and sweat. But our strength is too insignificant in the face of such vast darkness. We are truly powerless to cope alone."

"We implore you, we beg the community, we beg everyone here, if you have the means, to help us, to give us a hand. Without external support, perhaps within two years, our nation, our civilization, will be completely wiped off this planet."

He could no longer maintain his composure, tears streaming down his face, but he still stood there stubbornly, bowing deeply to the entire hall, and remained there for a long time.

That silhouette was filled with the sorrow and helplessness of the weak in dire straits, and the last vestige of unquenchable longing for the spark of civilization.
