Chapter 109: Chapter 109: Yes, I am a Mythical Talent!
These scientists were initially tormented by things that seemed to completely transcend science and cognition.
Some even loudly shouted, “Science is dead!”
Everyone watching the video could understand their feelings.
For humans, such power was simply too incredible!
It had completely shattered all previous knowledge.
Beyond this video, subsequent batches of different materials were continuously presented, even including Shen Hao’s interrogation of the first captured Matrix; people learned about the origins of the Blood Demon, and it was also the first time humans learned about the “Civilization Trial.”
However, the information revealed in this press conference was not only shocking and even despairing.
There was also hope.
For instance, when Shen Hao waved his hand in front of the camera and took out various powerful goods.
People finally knew where those incredibly powerful weapons and technologies that suddenly appeared in the war came from!
But the hope did not end there.
“The Civilization Trial indeed brought us tremendous trauma and brought unimaginable pain to the whole world, but at the same time, we are not without resistance, nor are we unable to overcome, not only because all humanity will unite and work together, but also because we have since the beginning stood at the pinnacle of the Chosen Ones!”
In the video, a group of text appeared.
It was the probability of drawing Chosen One Talents.
The public also learned for the first time of this secret previously only known to the Chosen Ones.
The nearly one in ten thousand Purple Epic Talent, one in a million Golden Legendary Talent, and, one in a billion Red Mythical Talent!
Eventually, the screen fixed on that notation of one in a billion in red!
Yes, Shen Hao finally revealed the true quality of his Talent!
He knew that at this moment, when the Civilization Trial was fully disclosed, the public needed hope, as did the Chosen Ones who possessed power, the administrators who held authority—everyone needed hope!
Thus, he no longer concealed it!
“Yes, I have a Mythical Talent, named ‘Sovereign’!” said Shen Hao in the video broadcasted at the press conference, he still on the battlefield, his eyes filled with vast starlights and Thunder surrounding him. At that instant, everyone could feel an indescribable suppression, not one that brought pain, but one that instilled confidence and courage!
This was the first time Shen Hao attempted to use the Sovereign suppression to influence people around the world, and with his current Level, the influence was naturally very limited.
But it was enough!
During this brief yet incredibly intense war, Shen Hao was already humanity’s hope, and the greatest source of confidence for all humanity!
The suppression at this moment was just a mobilization; it mobilized the trust and admiration people had for him!
Moreover! One in a billion!
Even though among this set of probabilities, there was still nine hundred ninety-nine million unknowns, the ultimate probability of one in a billion undoubtedly represented the pinnacle of all Talents, the very top among all Chosen Ones!
Even if some had already perceived or guessed it, when Shen Hao formally acknowledged it, they still couldn’t believe it.
“I understand everyone’s feelings; when I learned of this, my feelings, and those of everyone in the world at this moment, are the same!” the spokesperson raised his voice slightly at this moment, “This is undoubtedly a miracle, a miracle that signifies destiny’s favor! The number of Chosen Ones in the world is still scarce; we haven’t even seen someone with a Purple Epic Talent yet, but we do have a Chosen One with a Mythical Talent! His power significantly exceeds that of other Chosen Ones, and it is this power and its chain reactions that allowed us to win the first Trial in less than two months! Compared to the Blood Demons, compared to other civilizations also undergoing the Trial, we already possess our greatest luck!”
This spokesperson probably never imagined that he would one day need to proclaim someone’s greatness like this.
But at this moment, the emotion contained in his speech was undoubtedly genuine, and the power it contained was equally astonishing!
Yes, this was the reality everyone could see; Shen Hao’s unimaginably powerful identity had been fully demonstrated in the Blood Demon War!
More importantly, one in a billion!
This probability, this significance, was enough to bring immense reassurance to humans currently in confusion and in a state of terror!
Such a miracle allowed humans to encounter, starting out ahead of most civilizations!
“The existence of the Civilization Trial isn’t merely about bringing death or disaster,” the spokesperson continued to release the information, “Apart from the Chosen Ones being able to obtain various powerful technologies from the Chosen One Mall, enormous rewards, surpassing our previous understanding, can also be gained through the trials!”
The screen switched again.
This time, the rewards obtained through the trials were displayed in various languages!
Accompanied by an introduction.
“Now, on behalf of the Global United Front, I announce that all of humanity will officially initiate the ‘All People Extraordinary’ plan! This plan will systematically release information related to the Extraordinary Path. As long as one can pass the trials, the future of human civilization—everyone’s future—will surpass past perceptions and reach levels that could only belong to the imagination!”
At this moment, countless people who understood the reality truly got excited!
Fantasies are exactly that because they embody certain desires that people cannot fulfill!
And now, does this not mean that every person will have the potential to possess immortality, the ability to fly and escape, and other unimaginable powers?
Extraordinary powers are not just the extraordinary abilities of the Chosen Ones!
Even if some people don’t have such strong desires, they also understand that within the trials, power is the fundamental element for survival!
“Lastly, we have decided to release a confidential file,” the spokesperson took out another document, “This document in my hands gathers the initial intelligence on the Civilization Trials, including many people’s opinions and annotations, and also includes a phrase from our savior, Mr. Shen Hao, which I personally favor—no matter what, overcome the trials, become stronger, until one day we can know everything. This is what we need to do, and the only choice to survive within the trials!”
This press conference, rather than a revelation of information about the Civilization Trials, could better be called a mobilization meeting for all of humanity to confront the trials directly!
An immutable reality, the confidence people desire, the power people need.
All laid out.
Most people, including Shen Hao, actually believe that fear will be suppressed, confidence and hope will emerge, and humanity will inevitably find a way to coexist with the crisis and the Civilization Trials in the shortest time possible.
Perhaps, when the trials arrive, people will still be afraid, but at least at this moment, they will not fall into chaos and infighting.
The conference also announced two things simultaneously.
First, the Global United Front will continue to exist perpetually as the structure holding the highest authority globally and will remain unrenamed, for the war will go on—its targets no longer the Blood Demons but various trials.
Second, the establishment of the Global Chosen One Association, with Shen Hao serving as its president responsible for managing all Chosen Ones worldwide and all matters related to the Chosen Ones, is not subordinate to the Global United Front.
This decision, made after consulting the opinion of Mr. Shen Hao himself, represents the creation of a new power system in the age of the Civilization Trial.
Everything is for the sake of becoming stronger! Everything is for the sake of overcoming the trials! Everything is for the future of humanity!
Under such circumstances, human civilization is also rapidly making a series of adjustments internally.
This includes adjustments in the transformation of global production industries, focused arrangements for scientists, collaborative efforts among various research institutions, and even the emergence of new departments like the Extraordinary Education Department and the Extraordinary Criminal Processing Department.
In terms of public opinion, although there are still some people anxious about the future trials, overall, this anxiety and fear have not become mainstream or reached the level of disrupting order. Meanwhile, discussions about various new technologies and the Extraordinary Path are gradually increasing, with anticipation for the future suppressing the fears of what lies ahead.
Overall, human civilization is moving in the right direction.
Meanwhile, three days after the conference, during the period just before the external plugin was refreshed, Shen Hao received a report from Dong Gong.
They had found the first Pocket World Blessed Land!
“It indeed appeared in a rarely visited place. We found it deep within a primeval forest in our country. The area is yet unknown, but the Spiritual Energy inside is extremely rich. We also discovered some large architectural complexes,” Dong Gong reported.
“Are there intelligent beings?” Shen Hao asked, concerned about an important aspect.
Since there were architectural complexes, it meant that civilizations once existed within these Pocket World Blessed Lands.
“There are beings, but so far, what we have found are creatures similar to Spirit Beasts, with no intelligent lifeforms discovered,” Dong Gong seemed slightly disappointed, “However, the exploration has just begun. Should we mobilize more Chosen Ones over there?”
After becoming the president of the Chosen One Association, all the Chosen Ones joined the association.
Some civilian Chosen Ones were even solely under the command of the association.
Even those Chosen Ones affiliated with the governments of certain countries or with the Global United Front, when there was a conflict in orders with the Chosen One Association, would prioritize obeying the association’s commands.
The Chosen One Association, although called an association, is substantially not a loosely structured organization.
