 This is why, in this Star System, Xisoke is the only civilization advocating for war.
 In fact, even Xisoke supports war not for the benefit of the Thousand Alliance, but because their cultural traits determine that they could gain greater benefits in war.
 Therefore, they are still doing it for themselves.
 This is also why Shen Shi, when faced with these probes, only responds with warnings rather than taking actual actions—this likewise affects decisions.
 Only Shen Shi, with the future perspective of a God’s view, could perform such intricate operations.
 In short, when Human Civilization had already taken all of the Ancestral Spirit Civilization away, Xisoke remained in systemic blockade, which evidently brought them immense shock, because losing the Ancestral Spirit Civilization means, even if humans don’t strike them, they would inevitably weaken significantly under targeting by other civilizations.
 This could further impact their gains on the frontline.
 Plunging into an unpredictable abyss.
 Even for such a powerful civilization like theirs, this terrible defeat is unacceptable.
𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂 The Thousand Alliance is not a place for mutual benefit all around.
 The loss of status and power would turn them from plunderers to those being plundered, and once this transformation is complete, there is a high possibility they would lose everything they currently possess forever and fail to ensure their safety in future wars.
 Xisoke has reached a critical moment of life or death.
 <div style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:10px;text-align:center">

 </div>
 </div> "The situation has undergone significant changes."
 "We must adapt accordingly!"
 "Where is the way out?"
 "The means to break through the blockade are extremely risky. If discovered, they could suppress us directly."
 "That’s right, competition within the Thousand Alliance is permitted."
 "Is there a possibility to leverage the power of that mysterious force?"
 "We lack too much information, and utilizing them might lead to greater costs, a worse outcome."
 "..."
 At the end of the discussion, they turn their gaze to the Supreme Venerable.
 Xisoke Civilization is an imperial system, but the Emperor, revered as the Supreme Venerable, does not possess absolute power; instead, he possesses the ability to make decisive choices at crucial times.
 Indeed, they accept the Supreme Venerable’s erroneous choices and believe that even if his choice is mistaken, it is the destined fate of Xisoke Civilization.
 To a certain extent, this is somewhat analogous to Human Civilization nowadays.
 Except, in the primary timeline, Shen Shi has yet to make any erroneous choices.
 While the Supreme Venerable made quite a few mistakes.
 In some sense, advocating for war is one of his mistakes.
 And now, if mistaken, the situation would worsen further.
 So, even though born with this responsibility, the Supreme Venerable is now also caught up in hesitation.
 But the other Xisoke leadership, and even the entire Xisoke Civilization, are very quiet.
 They silently await the decision of fate.
 Finally, Xisoke’s Supreme Venerable speaks.
 "We should change our strategy, abandon the war advocacy, and attempt to deepen contact with the mysterious force, see what they need, and whether cooperation is possible."
 Yes, he has not directly placed all bets on the mysterious force, nor could he do so.
 Because deliberately constructing a persona, the intelligence information provided by Human Civilization at the moment is indeed too scant.
 Completely aloof.
 <div style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:10px;text-align:center">
 <div></div>
 </div> Making it difficult for other civilizations to grasp, difficult to analyze.
 However, they definitely never thought that all the results of their actions had already been clearly understood by Shen Shi.
 Even in future history, they are the same.
 "At this moment, it is not our optimal timing to proactively act," Shen Shi said the same in the highest meeting of Human Civilization, "Our positive strength, against an already nearly collapsed Ancestral Spirit Civilization, could crush, but facing Xisoke directly would certainly expose something. Therefore, our only way to success is for the Xisoke Civilization to approach us proactively. Before this opportunity arises, we only need to remain dormant."
 "But the probability of this opportunity appearing..." Someone couldn’t help expressing concerns.
 In negotiations among highly computational interstellar civilizations, there isn’t much room for intrigue, but only a lack of information may lead to an incorrect calculation of probabilities.
 However, considering the current situation, the probability of such an opportunity appearing is not high.
 Unless the Master Sage Saint has a source of intelligence that they do not know.
 And indeed, this is the case.
 "The opportunity will arise," Shen Shi said.
 Thus, all the members of the council breathed a sigh of relief, and the meeting was filled with a relaxed atmosphere.
 Just this one sentence from Shen Shi was enough to greatly alter probability data.
 They were all prepared for the opportunity Shen Shi spoke of.
 The arrival of this day indeed did not take long.
 Soon, humanity detected that the encirclement of the Xisoke Civilization by other civilizations not only didn’t lessen but gradually strengthened.
 Indeed, the Xisoke Civilization has already shown a tendency to "surrender," abandoning continued war advocacy.
 However, humanity’s action against the Ancestral Spirit Civilization also provided other civilizations a superb opportunity—an opportunity to engulf the Xisoke Civilization.
 Normally, during external wars, internal competition of such intensity is impossible to occur, and such actions would certainly face the reprisal of the entire Thousand Alliance System, bringing severe consequences, which is why Xisoke Civilization couldn’t calculate such a result.
 However, this deviation in intelligence information originated from humans.
 The appearance of humanity allowed several other civilizations to see an opportunity, a chance to escape the reprisal of the Thousand Alliance System.
 Because Human Civilization seemed to have occupied Ancestral Spirit Civilization’s territory and did not retreat.
 Thus, the Thousand Alliance needs them to keep an eye on this mysterious and formidable system.
 Coupled with the targeting of Xisoke Civilization and the threat posed by humanity, this has driven these civilizations to establish stronger alliances under the pressure of benefits. By dividing Xisoke Civilization’s interests and facing the relations within the Thousand Alliance together, it inevitably strengthens alliances among them.
 Faced with such a tightly knit alliance, during such an external war period, the harm from retributions against them outweighs the benefits of maintaining internal order.
 Adding all factors together.
 <div style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:10px;text-align:center">
 <div></div>
 </div> Ultimately driving the alteration in probability driven by benefit calculation, further propelling the occurrence of the current situation.
 "In the interstellar world, the vast majority of civilizations are, in reality, slaves to interests," Shen Shi said with a light laugh.
 This is a widely circulated saying in the Cosmos, but it was not spoken by any individual celebrity; rather, similar phrases appear in almost all interstellar civilizations.
 This is an inevitable phenomenon.
 Low-level civilizations might still have individual emotions, greed, and abilities, causing the entire civilization to act in a direction that defies benefit, but in interstellar civilizations, these shortcomings quickly weaken with the civilization’s development until nearly vanishing.
 In the end, only the survival instinct of chasing benefits remains.
 Even for Shen Shi, even for Human Civilization, it is the same.
 Thus, humans who hold more intelligence information and command the future can more effortlessly predict the actions of other civilizations.
 For instance, at this moment.
 At the critical moment when Xisoke Civilization is in jeopardy, the opportunity arrives.
 "Prepare for action," Shen Shi said.
 From the time they conquered and took away the Ancestral Spirit Civilization, to the moment when Xisoke Civilization was in imminent danger, hundreds of years have passed, and during these hundreds of years, humans have not merely been observing. Human Civilization, possessing the Holy Land, is the best infiltrator, not to mention, in this Star System, their hard strength is the most outstanding.</div>
