The truth of the matter was revealing itself to Xiao Yu bit by bit in the form of these scattered clues.
Xiao Yu could roughly infer what had happened in the course of all this. On so day after he had left the galaxy, the Pegasus Civilization, or perhaps the Divine Ark Civilization, or perhaps a union of the two civilizations, realized that a major upheaval was about to occur in the Milky Way. So they ca to this star system, took Zhang Shengya and Lorna away, and then attempted to escape the Milky Way. After that, they encountered the microscopic civilization that had co to block them. The microscopic civilization firmly trapped these two Level 6 Civilizations inside the Milky Way, preventing them from leaving.
According to what the microscopic civilization had said, after that these two civilizations remained inside the Milky Way and died together with the great change that befell it. But from Xiao Yu’s current point of view, although these two civilizations had remained within the Milky Way, it was very likely that they had not actually died in the end.
After retreating back into the Milky Way, what happened afterward to the Pegasus Civilization and the Divine Ark Civilization was sothing Xiao Yu did not know. Still, this unexpected encounter here and with this star gave Xiao Yu a little more hope regarding the situation.
Clearly, after Zhang Shengya and Lorna left, this planet ca under the control of so powerful existence. It manipulated this planet, carrying it across a distance of ten million light years, transporting it from the Milky Way into the Maffei One Galaxy. According to the records in this civilization’s history books, this process lasted several years. During those years, all the stars in this civilization’s sky disappeared, and the heavens often took on either an azure or blood-red color. This was undoubtedly a sign of high-speed movent. Xiao Yu, however, did not quite agree with this several years estimate.
The truth was that this star system had very likely taken a much longer ti to arrive at Maffei One. It was only because of relativistic effects that the humans of this civilization felt as though only that little ti had passed. And if it had relied solely on conventional travel, this planet could not possibly have completed such a long journey in rely tens of thousands of years. Therefore, during the journey, this planet had very likely adopted a thod combining curvature flight with conventional travel.
There was one most important point of doubt, and that was, who exactly was it that transported this planet from the Milky Way to the Maffei One Galaxy, allowing it to escape the coming galactic upheaval and avoid dying along with the reversal of ti?
This person, or this existence, had saved this star system and the humans on this planet, so then… what about the Pegasus Civilization? What about the Divine Ark Civilization? What about the Arrow Beast Civilization? Since this existence had been willing to act to save this star system, had it also saved all the others as well?
Who was it?
For what purpose had it done all this?
Xiao Yu did not know any of these things. But in his mind, a faint conjecture had already ford. Combining this conjecture with his earlier suspicion about whether there existed a third-party force beyond the Guardian of the Way and the Rebel Alliance, Xiao Yu believed his inference had a high degree of credibility.
In short, the Pegasus Civilization, the Divine Ark Civilization, the Arrow Beast Civilization, and Zhang Shengya had very likely not died in the great upheaval of the Milky Way. This inference caused a bit of hope to appear once again in Xiao Yu’s heart.
“Go on living this peaceful life. It does not matter that you have lost the starry sky. What you have gained is much more. The Architectural Civilization will provide complete shelter for you, and I, in turn, will shelter the Architectural Civilization.” Xiao Yu thought silently as he left this place.
“I am about to begin developing my military strength with all my might in preparation for the coming war.” Xiao Yu said. “I know that for certain reasons you are unable to lend assistance, but that is fine. Leave the matter of war to .”
“Our Architectural Civilization and the nearly one hundred thousand other civilizations under our command will all be grateful for your help.” the receptionist said respectfully.
The two sides still maintained frequent contact, but none of that contact touched on anything substantive anymore. Xiao Yu knew very well that the Architectural Civilization had already handed over all of its technological achievents without holding anything back. It was no longer likely that they had anything else that could help him. These things were his paynt, and once paynt was taken, work had to be done. Protecting the Architectural Civilization and fighting an earth-shaking decisive war against that Level 7 Civilization of the virtual life direction had already beco inevitable.
Xiao Yu dispatched an enormous fleet and began influencing this galaxy with even greater force. After obtaining the microscopic civilization’s technology, Xiao Yu’s computational power had improved trendously, and he had also made great strides in other areas of technology. Now he had also received the technological supplentation of the Architectural Civilization. Together with the technology he already possessed, the fusion of these three technological systems caused Xiao Yu’s scientific progress to advance at an astonishing pace. Now was the ti to manufacture even newer warships.
The microscopic civilization’s strength lay in the microscopic world, and its impact on Xiao Yu’s technology was most apparent in materials science and fundantal physics. The Architectural Civilization’s strength lay in construction, and this greatly advanced Xiao Yu in areas such as macroscopic layout and hull structure. In Xiao Yu’s mind, the manufacturing blueprints for a new type of warship had already appeared. These warships would possess even greater combat power.
A vast construction operation had already begun. Countless stars and countless planets were moved by Xiao Yu to the vicinity of the Architectural Civilization. Right here, Xiao Yu turned this section of space into an enormous construction site. Xiao Yu displayed an execution ability and construction capacity that left the Architectural Civilization sowhat shocked. Under such circumstances, one new warship after another was manufactured.
“My current computational power is probably enough to control one billion warships simultaneously… according to the Architectural Civilization’s data, each offensive launched by that virtual life civilization uses around one billion warships as well. Of course, this data is very likely sowhat inaccurate. The number of warships it can control may well exceed this figure. As for the performance of their warships… hm, it is roughly comparable to what I have now, but inferior to my new warships. Overall, this will be a hard battle for .”
“Most importantly, I do not have detailed intelligence on it. I do not know its exact form of existence, nor do I know where its weaknesses lie. All of that can only be explored bit by bit during battle. But I, Xiao Yu, have co this far. Among existences of the sa level as , who have I ever feared? I am destined to be the strongest among those of the sa level. A re virtual lifeform is nothing to fear.” Xiao Yu thought to himself.
If he did not even possess this much pride, then he might as well stop wandering through this universe and go back to stay inside the Milky Way as soon as possible.
The number of stars Xiao Yu had transported nearby had already exceeded three thousand, and the number of planets had already exceeded ten thousand. Countless enormous factories rose from the ground on these planets. Dense stellar energy collection devices, like a seal, almost completely covered entire stars. Large numbers of warships shuttled between different planets, and there were so many massive space docks and space bases that they were nearly beyond counting.
“In eight hundred years, I will possess ten new Star Cluster-Class battleships, and the number of Star-Class battleships will reach seven hundred. My total warship reserves will reach around thirty billion. This is the full extent of the power I will have. Perhaps I can also construct an automated star system defense system, so that if I fall into a disadvantageous position, I can rely on the defense system to resist the enemy.” Xiao Yu thought silently. “Or perhaps I can recreate the scene from when I fought that Infinite Proliferation-Type Alien Beast Civilization, building a large number of data computation bases and relying on programs to command the battle.”
Automated programs could not adapt particularly well to the needs of warfare, so Xiao Yu generally did not use this thod. Still, when facing opponents whose numbers were far too great, using this technology as an ergency asure could barely play so role.
“The main issue is that I have far too little intelligence on the enemy. If the worst situation occurs, these automated combat programs will not be able to bring any hope.” After thinking it over in his heart, Xiao Yu ultimately decided to build these computation bases first. As for whether they would be useful later, that would depend on how the situation developed.
Outside of the enormous construction tasks, Xiao Yu also began carrying out a large amount of war-process simulation work. Before the war began, Xiao Yu had to make as many preparations as possible. The situation on the battlefield could change in an instant. If a sudden event occurred and Xiao Yu did not have an appropriate response ready, then he would be placed in a very passive position.
“This kind of warfare where I am completely in the dark about the enemy is truly unpleasant…” Xiao Yu sighed. “But unpleasant or not, I still have to go in. No matter from which angle one looks at it, I have no reason to retreat.”
Several hundred years passed in a rush. Xiao Yu’s construction tasks proceeded on schedule. By this ti, Xiao Yu’s warship reserves had risen to twenty-eight billion, the star system’s defense system had been completed as planned, and the ten new Star Cluster-Class battleships had, under Xiao Yu’s control, joined the battle formations.
The enemy did not arrive after one thousand years as the Architectural Civilization had said. The long-range detectors Xiao Yu had scattered throughout this galaxy had already reported so bad signs to him. This ant that although less than nine hundred years had passed, the enemy had already arrived.
“Divine Ark Civilization, everything is entrusted to you.” the Architectural Civilization said.
“Do not worry.” Xiao Yu smiled faintly and said, “Even if it were not for you, I would still win this war… Co, let see whether your form of existence is more advanced, or whether mine is…”
In the far distance ahead, great clusters of irregularly shaped warships had already appeared within the field of vision of Xiao Yu’s detectors.
