Chapter 2069: Even More Advanced Civilization
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
How much importance the System placed on the issue determined how much importance Mag placed on the issue.
Ever since he came to this world, the System had given off the vibe that it was in control of everything.
However, it was flustered this time?
Of course, it could also be because it was dispirited as its objects were stolen.
The existence of the Great Old Ones had been ascertained, and Mag even cooked half of one of them.
However, such an existence that could destroy the world easily would never go to the various farms to steal thermometers and seeders.
As for an even more advanced civilization, Mag would never believe in the existence of a being from an even more advanced civilization than the System in this world where the various races had yet to break out of their habit of eating raw food.
“Judging from the timeline, could it be done by Amy’s System?” Mag suddenly thought of a factor.
The System fell silent for a while, as though it was analyzing, and said, “The possibility is very low! If that system found the farm, it should be able to tell that another system existed in this world, and would not interact with the other party, much less intervene with the other party’s missions.”
“aren’t all you subpar systems thrown together? Why wouldn’t the systems disturb each other? There would ultimately only be one king in the world. Change is the only constant, the wheel of fortune turns. Why is it not possible?” Mag did not buy that.
“L repeat! I am a perfect God of Cookery Cultivation System. That system’s existence could only be an accident!” the System said seriously.
“In that case, is it possible for this world to have a high latitude civilization? Or that their standard of civilization is even higher than Earth in 2050?” Mag asked in an equally serious tone.
“According to my current observations, the existence of any odd evolution civilization has yet to be detected.”
“In that case, maybe there’s a Wakanda in this boring world?” Mag laughed.

The System fell silent for a while, and said, “For now, this possibility cannot be ruled out. I have limited knowledge of this world, and there are various places I have yet to explore.
“Tam unable to know if an even more advanced civilization had appeared and continued to exist on this land in the past billions of years.
“In addition, an even more advanced civilization indeed exists on Earth. It is just not Wakanda. It is in the spatial world at Kunlun Mountains.”
This time, Mag fell silent.
There was too much information in the System’s words.
Nothing was impossible in this world. Mag being able to arrive in this world was an impossible thing on its own.
‘Whether an even more advanced civilization existed on a planet with billions of years in its history was unknown, just like how he still had no answer for whether the “gods” worshiped by the various races actually existed. If they did, where were they?
“So… the System is not all-knowing…” Mag sighed.
“A system’s understanding of a foreign world could only be known through exploration other than obtaining basic information from God.”
Mag propped his head on his hand, and thought for a while. Suddenly, he asked, “I am suddenly curious about what God is. What kind of existence is it? Why did it create the systems and send them out to various worlds?”
“Your questions have already infringed on a dangerous field. Please take back these dangerous thoughts!” the System warned.
“If God is everywhere and all-knowing, yet is also unknown and indescribable, communicates with the outside world through the systems, and rules world after world by controlling the hosts through systems… What do you think it’s like?” Mag swallowed. He did think that his thoughts were rather
dangerous.
The System fell silent… and remained silent
“Alright, let’s think of it in another way.” Mag closed the ancient book in his hands. “If there really is a more advanced civilization in this world, and they have also discovered your existence, what could happen?”
“There are two possibilities. Firstly, as a member of a foreign civilization and someone who could possibly result in a large-scale invasion, you would be taken away and cut up into pieces for research so that they could trace our origin. Secondly, they might try to establish a new connection with the
foreign civilization through you. You would become the bridge between them and the foreign civilization, but would lose your freedom,” the System replied.
“Doesn’t sound good either way.” Mag shook his head.
“Thave already cut all logistical systems connecting the farms and the restaurant, and built a new virtual logistical system. They will be unable to find the restaurant through the space passage for the time being. However, we cannot rule out the possibility of them finding you through other means,
because we know nothing about them.”
Mag heaved a sigh of relief, and said, “One more question. If an even more advanced civilization did exist, would they be responsible for the Great Old Ones? If they join us, it may be a little easier to handle those fellows.”
“A cutting machine from the octopus processing plant is missing. They should be aware of the Great Old Ones’ existence, and should most probably be on the side of kindness and order. Otherwise, it would be a piece of cake for them to destroy the seal,” the System replied.
Mag ended his conversation with the System, and sat by the study table, spacing out.
The Great Old Ones’ existence was just like the Sword of Damocles hanging above their heads.
The existence of an advanced civilization, and the fact that they might have already found out about him, caused him even more worries.
Forget it, leave them be for now. No matter how advanced they are, they are still made of flesh and blood. If they really come knocking, I can only hack their heads off. Mag shook his head and left.
He went downstairs, and kept all the things that could possibly expose that he was from an out-of-this world’s civilization, including Amy’s toys and Annie’s watercolor brush, and made them promise that they could only use those upstairs.
Mag was not ahead of himself, so he decided to live like a mole in the coming days.
Irina had returned to Chaos City. Mag, who had just had kidneys for lunch, decided to cancel the raw oyster feast at night in case he got too full of himself.
Business at the tavern tonight was still not bad. Although it was not at the full-house level, earning 10,000 copper coins a night was still rather easy.
Meanwhile, Titan Tavern right across the street had hung up a “temporarily closed” notice for their upgrading phase.
Of course, the most attractive thing was still the notice outside.
Titan Tavern had announced that it would open the cellar sealed by its founder 30 years ago, and would start to supply the authentic Titan Liquor stored in the cellar for 30 years.
Eiffie was a smart woman. Mag had to admit that.
After daily operations, Mag saw the last customer off, and closed the shop as he got ready to clean up.
Just then, the tavern’s door behind him opened outward silently.
Mag paused in his actions, and turned slowly to look at the door. He leaned his body slightly forward, maintaining the best posture to pull his sword out.
A.woman dressed in a white body-fitting suit stood at the door, and watched him calmly with her light green eyes. She opened her mouth, and said in an accented common tongue, “I want… to drink.”
