CHAPTER 369: CHAPTER 368: BREAKING THROUGH THE MILLION MARK

The once-boisterous cosmic space had calmed and returned to a dark and icy silence.

The civilization war between the Wandering Alliance and the Electromagnetic Civilization had finally ended with the victory of the Wandering Alliance.

In this extremely brutal civilizational war, although the Wandering Alliance managed to achieve victory, it came at a certain cost. One Eternal Life, a Planet Battle Star, was besieged by hundreds of millions of Electromagnetic Super People and ultimately captured by one of them using a Celestial Body Capture Device, completely converting it into energy.

Aside from this, the Wandering Alliance did not suffer any planet-level losses; however, there were many minor casualties. Almost every Planet Battle Star that took part in the battle had significant equipment and devices destroyed. Some Unified Power Beams fired by the Electromagnetic Super People even reached the ground, causing considerable damage to the cities on the planetary surface and resulting in the sacrifice of many citizens.

However, overall, the sacrifice by the Wandering Alliance was actually not significant.

Whether it was in terms of war destruction level for a Level 4 Civilization or calculating the number of casualties of the Electromagnetic Civilization, the losses of the Wandering Alliance were minimal.

In this war, nearly the entire Electromagnetic Civilization was annihilated, their leader, the Constant Star Super Thinker was absorbed, the Pulsar Super Magnet captured by a Celestial Body Capture Device, and the multitude of Electromagnetic Super People were almost entirely obliterated, save for the one-thousandth that survived and fled the battle after realizing the tide had turned.

And that one-thousandth was only about six billion people.

This meant that the Electromagnetic Civilization lost over fifty trillion people in this war, and almost all of them perished within this expanse of space.

Therefore, the post-war scene was utterly heart-wrenching and shocking, in this finite expanse of the starry sky, the densely-packed corpses floated like rain, turned into lifeless ash-grey in the dark and cold environment. From the perspective of those on Earth, it was as if a rain of corpses had fallen from the starlit sky!

It was only at this moment that everyone understood that what they had always thought to be a beautiful and dazzling starry sky could also have a hellish sight.

The starry sky was never only about beauty and miracles; it was always filled with darkness and death!

After winning the war, the Wandering Alliance immediately commenced with internal repair operations. Once all the damaged equipment on the Planet Battle Stars was fixed, Constant Star Lu Chen ordered all the Battle Stars to begin cleaning up the scene. Although collecting these corpses to be used as material reserves was a harsh and cruel act, with the great crisis of the universe ceasing to expand, the Wandering Alliance didn’t have a choice.

Every bit of matter nowadays could possibly be capital for survival in the future, and nothing was to be wasted.

Constant Star Lu Chen also steadfastly abided by this jungle law. After absorbing all the mass of the Constant Star Super Thinker, he began to extend his gravity outward, attempting to absorb the Hydrogen that had dissipated during the battle. In the end, he absorbed about half of the ten percent mass that was dispersed due to the Black Hole Expansion caused by the Pulse Star Super Magnet, with the other half spreading into the extensive Heliosphere region.

When all was dealt with, Constant Star Lu Chen’s mass finally grew to 1,577,000 times that of a Constant Star Mass, officially breaking the one million mark. His diameter expanded to about 70 million kilometers, an increase of 20 million kilometers from before. The rate of nuclear fusion reactions in his core increased by about double, causing Constant Star Lu Chen’s core temperature to reach two billion degrees, and the corona layer’s temperature broke through the one hundred million degree milestone!

Furthermore, the percentage of Hydrogen in Constant Star Lu Chen did not increase but instead decrease by two percent, dropping to 92%.

This is because Constant Star Super Thought is a long-standing constant star, and in the process of absorption, Lu Chen did not distinguish non-hydrogen matter, which led to a slight decline in the proportion of hydrogen. However, this issue is not significant. At present, the entire universe is facing the crisis of cosmic expansion coming to a halt. Whether one can live that long remains an unknown.

Now, the most important thing for Lu Chen is strength, and after his constant star mass surged by more than double, his gravity strength naturally went up with the tide, rising from five million to eleven million!

Feeling the changes in every aspect of his constant star body, Lu Chen couldn’t help but feel comfortable. Under the crisis of cosmic expansion stopping, he was forced to accelerate the absorption rate. In the process of repeatedly doing so, the initial pleasure of devouring matter seemed to return. This must be called not forgetting one’s original intention (sarcastic)!

"Demon Star, the site has been cleared, but what about those escaping Electromagnetic Super Men?"

Just then, Lu Chen received a message from Green Star. Lu Chen responded, "At this moment, those Electromagnetic Super Men have already fled to who knows where. Even if we want to pursue them, we can’t. Let them go. After all, two of the main forces of the Electromagnetic Civilization have been absorbed by me, and another has been captured. The remaining Electromagnetic Super Men are not much of a threat."

Of course, they are not much of a threat to the civilization as a whole, but still pose a substantial threat to lower civilizations and individual life forms.

Green Star said, "That pulsar can be stored for now, and we can decide how to use it later if the need arises." The of this content is

"I have the same thought."

"By the way, I just received a message. A scientific team from the Light Synthesis Civilization detected the presence of another civilization nearby during the war."

Green Star shared a piece of intelligence that was highly important to Lu Chen.

Lu Chen immediately inquired, "Where is that civilization now?"

"Not quite clear. At that time, we were in a fierce battle and didn’t pay too much attention to the whereabouts of that civilization. Anyway, they are no longer nearby. However, judging from the actions of that civilization, they probably haven’t reached Level 4 Civilization, or they would have waited for us and the Electromagnetic Civilization to fight to a mutual weakness, taking advantage of the situation. But they merely detoured, indicating that their technological strength is not as strong as ours, and they did not want to become cannon fodder in the struggle between advanced civilizations," Green Star analyzed.

Lu Chen said, "Your analysis does make some sense. Though there are high-level civilizations that prefer not to get involved, such civilizations are rare. By the way, is there a Celestial Civilization among that civilization? Do you know what kind of beings they are?"

Green Star replied, "There is a Celestial Civilization within that civilization, but it is not a Constant Star Celestial Civilization, it is a Planet-level Celestial Civilization. It should be the Mother Star where that biological civilization originated. As for what that biological civilization looks like, the distance was too far at the time and the scientists couldn’t detect it. However, they recorded the characteristics of that Planet-level Celestial Civilization. If we encounter them again, we will definitely recognize them."

"Okay then, all Battle Stars, fall back into your positions. It’s also time for us to continue on our way. We have been fighting this war against the Electromagnetic Civilization for far too long. Word of the situation here has already spread out. It’s best for us to leave quickly to avoid further complications. However, during my battle with Constant Star Super Thought, the original star system was destroyed. This is a newly constructed star system. I have already used the Constant Star Storm to clear the surrounding space of meteoric matter. You can just revolve in the original order!"

Lu Chen commanded.

After all the Planet Battle Stars took their positions, Lu Chen controlled the new Wandering Star System and once again embarked on the journey through the Wandering Universe!
