Chapter 1731: Chapter 1729: Trouble Arrives

After discovering a new situation, Peter Brown realized that his knowledge of this world might not be very extensive.

Upon serious reflection, Peter even nodded to himself. Since his arrival, his sole focus had been on how to enter the Land of the Sanctuary, and all his efforts surrounded this objective. He completely ignored everything else and didn’t pay attention to what the situation in Outer Space was truly like. Now it seemed that by rapidly advancing Earth’s technology, he had met some sort of criteria prematurely, hence the arrival of the qualification certificate. However, for Earthlings, this might be a disaster.

Having seen how many worlds developed, Peter knew that once Earth accessed the interstellar Network at a tenth rank, its previous protections would be lost. A continuous influx of external powers would enter, even more powerful alien enemies that would come to plunder Earth, and it’s really hard to say what might happen to Earth then.

Peter also had another concern: Earth was his foundation. If Earth were to be damaged, his path in the Sanctuary would become even more difficult. Therefore, the Earth must be safeguarded at all costs.

At this thought, something struck Peter, and another concern came to mind. He had obtained Kindness energy by using advanced things, but if these actions put Earth on the brink of destruction, his Kindness energy might turn into malevolent energy. Then, his wish to freely enter and exit the Land of the Sanctuary would become impossible.

The problem was getting bigger!

"Keep a close eye on the conditions in each country."

"Master, the Investigation into the conditions of each country has been completed. Everyone has received this thing, and some nations are even trying to contact the outside using radio waves."

"Have they made contact?"

"Not yet, but it seems that it shouldn’t be difficult, as I am already able to freely navigate through the rank ten Network."

"By the way, with our technology, is it possible to access higher ranks?"

"It should be possible. I am currently familiarizing myself with the Network’s conditions. It’s a network somewhat different from our Technology, we just didn’t know it before. Having now entered the rank ten Network, there is knowledge in this area, and I am learning."

"Good, make sure to figure out more details. This is very important for us."

Time went by, and though Peter was originally set to quickly enter the Land of the Sanctuary, he didn’t immediately do so after this development but chose instead to observe in which direction things would unfold.

"Master, the United States, Arctic Nation, India, the Island Nation, and Elegant Nation have all made contact with alien civilizations."

The news from Salina made Peter’s eyelids twitch; he understood that from this contact onwards, Earth would never be at peace again.

"What exactly did they discuss?"

"It appears that contact has only been made so far. They have invited those civilizations’ people to Earth. I know from the Virtual Cosmic Network that alien civilizations have rules. If a lower-dimension civilization doesn’t invite them, especially not through a national approach, higher civilizations are not allowed to enter. That’s why so many higher-dimension civilizations, despite knowing of Earth’s existence, were unable to enter. Now that Earth has met the criteria to enter the Virtual Cosmic Network and with the addition of national invitations, they can enter Earth."

"Are you implying that among them, there are malevolent beings?"

"Of course, this is certain."

"How can I directly view the contents of the Virtual Cosmic Network?"

"I have located a downloader. Anyone can enter the Virtual Cosmic Network with a download. Master, do you want to download it now?"

"Download it."

"Please connect to me, Master."

As Peter connected with the AI, a special set of data formed in his Brain Domain, and then he found himself truly able to directly view a unique Network.

Thanks to the Learning Device, Peter didn’t take much time to understand the contents presented there.

It was so rich!

Shocked by the content on the Network, Peter found that this technological knowledge was just permeating this Azure Sky. There were plenty of signals, and it was just that Human Species had not evolved to that level and naturally wasn’t aware of the existence of such advanced content beyond modern technology.

With his vast knowledge, as Peter looked through one piece of information after another, he realized that this newly discovered knowledge was truly much more abundant than that of Earth.

However, Peter was relieved to find that this knowledge still fell short of what he had acquired from the Technology Plane.

Silver Sea Federation... Ten million Star Planets... Tens of millions of interstellar nations...

As he continued to explore, Peter began to understand the Silver Sea Federation—a tenth-rank civilization Federation, considered to be the lowest rank. Yet, this Federation comprises millions of great nations and many large and small powers. They too wage various battles amongst the Star Kingdoms, where space combat is sufficiently intense to destroy planets.

At this point, Peter just shook his head at Earth’s countries initiating active contact with them. Without the backing of Great Power, the results of the contacts were worrisome. Upon their arrival, Earth could become their colony, where Earthlings might even end up as slaves.

The practice of slavery is prevalent among the interstellar nations, often turning a conquered Star Kingdom into a slave state and deeming all its inhabitants as slaves, a truly tragic outcome.

This is troublesome!

The more Peter understood, the more he worried about his own affairs. He was the one who had facilitated all of this, and if Earth was doomed, he would become Earth’s sinner. The only option was to start improving Earth’s defenses now, to truly meet the standards for entering the tenth rank of the Virtual Cosmic Network.

Thinking about Earth’s technological knowledge, all Peter could do was shake his head again—the gap to qualify for entry into the tenth rank Network was just too vast.

"Salina, start modifying that Meat. Ideally, create a version that uses meat from this realm that can be transformed into food to enhance human evolution. It’s imperative that Humans make a breakthrough in this aspect."

"Rest assured, Master. Research in this area has already entered the clinical phase and will soon be complete."

Salina was extremely capable, and now she even had a sense of independent research, which pleased Peter. With Salina’s presence, his work had become a lot easier.

Peter wasn’t worried that the AI Salina would betray him or anything like that. The Technology Plane had settings for this long ago—just showing a hint of betrayal would trigger the program to automatically delete that consciousness.
