Just as that brown dwarf was destroyed by the battle between the two great Alien Beasts, in another corner of the Milky Way, within so unknown sector, Specter Taihao, without a physical body and seeming as if the void itself, silently appeared.
Although Specter Taihao’s form was concealed, it seed it could not evade the senses of the ships stationed here. The instant Specter Taihao arrived, several thousand ships of various models urgently departed the planetary base and ford up before Specter Taihao, fully prepared for battle. In the void, all kinds of signals were also sent out and received by unknown existences in the distance.
“I bear no malice in coming this ti, and I do not wish to fight you.” A ssage was sent from Specter Taihao. “I only want to talk and reach an agreent.”
After sending this ssage, Specter Taihao began to wait in silence. The several thousand Sweepers Civilization ships ahead did not attack either, but silently confronted Specter Taihao.
“Our authority is insufficient. Please wait. We are reporting to our superiors. Very well, the superiors have approved your request for dialogue.”
“Specter, what business brings you to ?” A ssage full of majesty was transmitted and received by Specter Taihao.
“Our Taihao Alliance has been hostile to your Sweepers Civilization for such a long ti. I think it is ti to change the thod of confrontation. I ca here to reach an agreent with you. Before the Divine Ark Civilization reaches a Level 6 Civilization, neither side, either of us, will interfere with the actions of the Divine Ark Civilization. Is that acceptable?”
“Why should I agree to that?”
“Xu Junpo of the Divine Ark Civilization is a piece on your Sweepers’ board. Xiao Yu is our piece. I know what you intend to do, and you know what I intend to do. Then let us have a temporary truce and let our pieces fight in our stead.”
What greeted Specter Taihao was a long silence. After a while, the Sweepers Civilization replied, “Agreed. We can accept your request. This aligns with the interests of our Sweepers Civilization. So be it. Before the Divine Ark Civilization advances to a Level 6 Civilization, we will not interfere with any of its actions.”
“Very well. Then farewell.” With these words, Specter Taihao’s trace suddenly vanished, destination unknown. At least three hours after Specter Taihao disappeared, the light in this region of space suddenly began to distort, and everything beca hazy and indistinct.
This was clearly the consequence of space being warped.
The universe still looked pitch-black, but only in the visible band. Outside other bands, one could clearly see a strange object appear in this expanse of space.
This object had a diater of only about twenty kiloters, not even as large as Xiao Yu’s Nation-Class spaceship. It presented a nearly perfect spherical shape, with a smooth surface and no irregularities.
Small as it was, no one dared take it lightly. For it was the ultimate trump card of the Sweepers Civilization, the Neutron War Star that had road the Milky Way for tens of millions of years without eting a worthy foe.
“Hmph, that old ghost ran really fast.” A presence full of killing intent emanated from the Neutron War Star. “Otherwise, daring to penetrate into the territory of our Sweepers Civilization, a price would have to be paid to leave.”
The Neutron War Star cruised in the void for a while, then entered curvature space, destination unknown.
Elsewhere in the galaxy, the massive son spaceship exited curvature flight and appeared in the visible universe. This was a very ordinary stellar system, an ordinary red dwarf, ordinary planets. Everything looked so commonplace, without anything remarkable.
The son spaceship remained here, moving together with the star. After a while, a ssage was sent out, “Guardians, co out. I know you have a hidden small safe zone here.”
This stellar system remained as usual, with no movent at all.
“Hmph.” A ssage full of displeasure was emitted from the son spaceship, and then the entire son spaceship suddenly brightened. A pitch-black spatial rift appeared and flashed past. In an instant, tens of ships with the unmistakable construction style of the Guardians appeared several million kiloters ahead of the son spaceship.
“Taihao! Last ti you ddled and caused our operation to seize the Neutron War Star to fail, and you still dare co here! What do you intend?”
“The Radiance is already on its way here with five hundred thousand ships. There are at least three million ships stationed in this safe zone. This ti, unless you leave sothing behind, do not think you can escape!”
ssages brimming with anger were sent from those Guardian Civilization ships.
“I did not co this ti to fight you.” Technology Taihao slowly sent a ssage. “I am only here to tell you one thing.”
“On behalf of our Taihao Alliance, I hereby formally inform you that from now on, before the Divine Ark Civilization advances to a Level 6 Civilization, you are not permitted to interfere with any of the Divine Ark Civilization’s actions. If you dare violate this rule, the three Taihao Civilizations of our Taihao Alliance will not hesitate to unite with the Sweepers Civilization and uproot you completely. That is all. I have no interest in confronting your Radiance spaceship. Farewell.”
After conveying this ssage, the son spaceship abruptly vanished without a trace. Those Guardian Civilization ships several million kiloters ahead rely watched in silence and did not interfere with the son spaceship’s actions.
A few days passed like this, and the void trembled once more. The Radiance spaceship, its whole body shrouded in light and resembling the halls of the gods, appeared here.
“Hmph, so it fled just like that… Not permitted to interfere with the Divine Ark Civilization… hmph.”
After a brief stay here, the Radiance spaceship also disappeared.
At this ti, in that stellar system, Xiao Yu was making the final preparations before departure. There were many tasks at this stage, recovering a great many usable materials, completing various material storage assignnts, performing final inspections on all kinds of ships, destroying immovable fixed installations that could not be transported, and so on, leaving Xiao Yu feeling utterly overwheld.
The two hundred years of developnt ti had already ended. Xiao Yu had fully completed his construction tasks and possessed a vast fleet totaling eleven million five hundred thousand ships. In all, there were three Continent-Class combat spaceships, twenty Continent-Class residential spaceships, and the number of Nation-Class spaceships had reached three hundred.
Within the biological army, the total number of warriors had grown to nearly one billion. Xiao Yu specifically assigned one Continent-Class combat spaceship and various other types totaling one million five hundred thousand ships to the biological army for their use.
By this ti, nearly eighty years had passed since Xu Junpo’s birth. At eighty years of age, within the Divine Ark Civilization at this mont, he was still only of youthful age. Xu Junpo was still in school receiving education. Xiao Yu had never ceased monitoring Xu Junpo and had even grown ever more stringent. Under such tight surveillance, Xiao Yu discovered many unusual traits in Xu Junpo.
He was too intelligent, to the point of not seeming like a normal person. In class, he stumped the teachers many tis. Sotis the questions he raised were ones even the teachers could not answer. He was practically a universal talent. Aside from a personality that was sowhat introverted, he displayed extraordinary gifts in all other respects.
Life sciences, energy technology, weapons technology, computer science, high-energy physics, astrophysical evolution, and other advanced sciences were all fields he had already dabbled in at this young age. His knowledge increased every day, at a rate that even surpassed his parents’ expectations.
He dropped out of school. In the Divine Ark Civilization, it was absolutely not permitted for adolescents of school age to forgo schooling. However, Xu Junpo’s case was far too special, and his abnormalities had already drawn the attention of the Social Academy of Science. After a joint assessnt by Luka Two, Luka Three, and Luka Four, they approved Xu Junpo’s request to drop out and instead allowed him to study on his own. Furthermore, they made a special exception permitting him to accompany his parents into various scientific research institutes to begin internships in advance.
Luka Three even decided that after another ten or so years, he would bring the boy under his own wing and personally teach him.
“From the first mont I saw him, I knew he was a genius. Burying a genius is a cri. Since he was discovered by , there is absolutely no reason to let him slip by. I have a premonition that our Divine Ark Civilization’s hope of entering the Level 6 Civilization category may still rest on him…” Luka Three said this in his report to Xiao Yu.
“Perhaps.” Xiao Yu let out a sigh and once again turned his gaze to Xu Junpo.
Xu Junpo’s birth was accompanied by too many mysteries and shrouded in too much mist. While strictly monitoring Xu Junpo’s every move, Xiao Yu also hoped that Xu Junpo might bring him sothing else.
“Oh? What is this?” At this mont, the space telescope reported sothing to Xiao Yu. This matter successfully aroused Xiao Yu’s interest.
“Mm… a brown dwarf exploded about ten light years from … How can that be? Can a brown dwarf even explode? That is incredible. Well then, it just so happens all my preparations are complete. I will go and take a look in person. Let see what exactly caused such an unusual phenonon.”
Xiao Yu quickly made his decision, then piloted the vast fleet and slowly left this stellar system.
