System: My Doomsday Train Chapter 996 375: "You Even Want to Eat Your Own Mother.
Previously on System: My Doomsday Train...
Until now.
Xiaolv had never shifted forms within the train.
Therefore, his own curiosity was quite piqued as well.
His Train Armor proved utterly indestructible, providing Absolute Defense not only externally but internally too. Should Xiaolv or his mother transform into feeding form inside his train, expanding instantaneously to 0.1 light-years across—
His train would certainly stay intact.
Then...
Everything else would explode instead.
Such an outcome would carry a heavy sin.
"Got it."
"By the way, ask her how she lost her child back then. He's no longer an egg—he's hatched already. How does someone lose him just like that? And where on earth is the child's father?"
"Okay."
...
And with that, the entire matter wrapped up flawlessly.
The Fixed Star train gained yet another Stellar Giant Beast.
Xiaolv now had an extra mom.
Xiaolv's mother offered virtually no opposition to boarding the Fixed Star; her offspring resided here, and he truly cherished the place—along with numerous other factors. Undoubtedly, the primary reason was her firsthand witness to the Fixed Star's overwhelming might.
She wouldn't dare defy the Fixed Star whatsoever.
Stellar Giant Beasts may possess limited intellect, yet they comprehend one principle crystal clear: the mighty must never be challenged.
"..."
Chen Mang lounged in the train cabin, eyes fixed on the universe's frontier. Currently, excluding the 400 billion light-year Observable Cosmos, the universe's full diameter measured 1,928.3 billion light-years. Before his gaze lingered, it had surged to 293.9 billion light-years.
The metrics of the high-dimensional universe encircling the cosmos were far too erratic—purely haphazard and beyond any control.
In his downtime.
He took great pleasure in observing the high-dimensional universe's fluctuations.
He sensed...
Those shifts in the high-dimensional universe weren't truly this chaotic. Rendering them through three-dimensional figures merely produced this wildly garbled data spectacle. One day, he resolved to explore it himself.
Discover the actual form of the high-dimensional universe beyond the cosmos.
Then traverse that high-dimensional universe to uncover what lay past it.
At last, he grasped why no civilization had escaped the universe. Reaching light speed or outpacing cosmic expansion held no value. The high-dimensional universe sheathing the cosmos acted like an eggshell, securely enclosing it at the center, almost impossible to breach.
There,
Both time and space shed all meaning, altering freely at whim.
"Hoo..."
A deep breath escaped him as he pulled his eyes from the radar screen and turned to the control console's display.
Immediately after unleashing that shot—
Multiple panels emerged one by one on the screen.
-
"'Human Civilization' has met the Promotion Conditions and has been automatically promoted."
"The Promotion Ripple range for this promotion is 10 billion light-years."
"All life forms within any Level 1 and above civilization will receive this Promotion Ripple in their own way."
"The transmission speed of the Promotion Ripple is the speed of light."
-
"Level 6 Civilization 'Human Civilization' has successfully advanced to Seventh-level Civilization."
-
At this instant!
Human Civilization has officially ascended to Seventh-level Civilization!
It now strode into the league of the universe's premier civilizations, clutching the golden ticket toward Divine-level Civilization. From here forward, his civilization pursued a single objective: Divine-level Civilization.
Amid blockades from rival civilizations,
The universe's resources and domains stood fully partitioned.
No untapped territories awaited his claim.
To attain Divine-level Civilization, he needed to topple one of the reigning Divine-level Civilizations.
The "Doppler Radar" revealed the complete cosmic power layout. Naturally, he lacked interest in every civilization, concentrating instead on the Divine-level Civilizations and select Ninth-level ones.
In a remote cosmic nook,
The "Starlight Civilization," a Ninth-level power, waged a do-or-die clash against a Divine-level Civilization, as neighboring Divine-level Civilizations dispatched reinforcements to the defender.
The conflict burned with maniacal fury.
Light Cannons streaked wildly through the void.
Two-dimensional Foils flung about like paint flecks on an oil canvas.
Total anarchy and ruin.
The battle raged until the skies blackened and the lands grew shadowy.
The "Starlight Civilization" shared a surprising link with him; it served as the primary clan following the "Rough Civilization"'s return—the ancestral civilization of the Star Arrow Race. Right now, they unleashed their full legacy, unleashing a total assault on the "Divine-level Civilization"!
Victory would elevate them to Divine-level Civilization status!
Defeat meant not even a tombstone in their future!
Nearby Divine-level Civilizations quietly dispatched forces to aid the targeted Divine-level Civilization—essentially turning it into a one-against-many clash.
Ascending to Divine-level Civilization proved far from simple.
It's worth noting...
Races such as the "Star Arrow Race" or Cultivation Civilizations, capable of employing "bloodline Wormholes" to assemble every clansman and bolster their core race's power, stood the best chance. For a Train Civilization, summoning masses via bloodline Wormholes changed nothing—they lacked resources to transport; utterly futile.
Merely civilizations that amassed immense power within their own kind could leverage this tactic to swiftly amplify their civilization's capabilities in little time.
Yet...
Employing this approach marked the ultimate gamble. It would drain your race's entire foundation, and failure would wipe your species nearly from cosmic existence. Rising anew? Impossible—no trace of such a race would linger in the universe; absolute annihilation.
The stakes soared to extreme heights.
It amounted to a frantic, last-ditch bet.
Short-term outcomes remained unpredictable. Conflicts among civilizations of this caliber dragged on without swift conclusions.
"The arena of Divine-level Civilizations truly thrills the most."
Chen Mang's fingers twitched with eagerness while observing. He truly yearned to dive in, yet his power fell short—at minimum, lacking total supremacy. Allow some further growth, and he'd achieve genuine invincibility!
Then, he could boldly emerge onto the grand stage.
A fresh panel gradually emerged on the control console's display.
-
"Civilization Name: Human Civilization."
"Civilization Level: 7."
"Civilization Leader: Chen Mang."
"Civilized Planets: Water Blue Star, Black Tortoise Star, No.1 Mining Star, No.2 Mining Star, No.3 Mining Star, No.4 Mining Star... etc."
"Civilized Population: 61 trillion."
"Promotion Conditions: highest-attack Energy Range exceeding 500,000."
"ps: From promotion to Second-level Civilization onward, each promotion will release one 'Promotion Ripple' detectable by all nearby civilizations. The higher the level, the wider the range of the 'Promotion Ripple'."
"Civilized Means: the generation speed and capacity of resource mines such as Murphy Stone Ore, iron ore, copper ore, etc. are doubled; their generation probability is doubled; Special Tool birth probability is doubled."
-
This displayed the updated Human Civilization interface.
Conditions for rising to Level 8 stayed remarkably straightforward—no added demands for territory or Civilization Wonders. It hinged solely on peak attack energy. Put simply, acquiring a 5000-level Akanon Light Energy Main Cannon would propel them to Eighth-level Civilization.
Seventh-level promotion demanded a 3000-level Akanon Light Energy Main Cannon.
Eighth-level perks focused on resources.
Such bonuses aided civilizations in gathering more supplies during expansion.
Not particularly crucial.
They qualified as "development means."
The key element was—
That blast he unleashed to save Xiaolv's mother qualified as a 5000-level Akanon Light Energy Main Cannon, far surpassing the 3000-level threshold...
Thus.
Additional panels gradually materialized on the train control console screen.
-
"'Human Civilization' has met the Promotion Conditions and has been automatically promoted."

"The Promotion Conditions for 'Human Civilization' have been fulfilled, resulting in its automatic promotion."
"The range of the Promotion Ripple from this promotion spans 100 billion light-years."
"All life forms in civilizations of Level 1 or higher will experience this Promotion Ripple in their unique manner."
"The Promotion Ripple transmits at the speed of light."
