CHAPTER 550: CHAPTER 549: KILLING PEOPLE AND CRUSHING HEARTS

Cosmic Zone.

In the starry sky.

Hundreds of billions of light-years of Super Quasar still exist, and not far away are even larger pure element celestial bodies, totaling hundreds of billions of light-years.

Moreover, this is not the size limit of these two super celestial bodies, just because after learning about the Cosmic Cycle Theory, they haven’t been idle, nor have they simply sat waiting for death, they have been frantically absorbing and competing for the remaining Cosmic Material within the Cosmic Zone Universe, and these two super celestial bodies have also been slowly growing.

Although, due to the backflow of expansion waves, the Cosmic Cycle Theory has theoretically lost the possibility of success, these level-five civilizations are not likely to give up easily, as each of them has survived through great hardships, each is as tough as steel, and their mental fortitude is not likely to easily collapse or give up. Therefore, even if the Cosmic Cycle Theory might not be effective, they still remain proactive in absorbing the materials of the universe.

Despite the area of the Cosmic Zone being smaller compared to the outer Star Zone and Sky Zone, the richness of material within the Cosmic Zone is far greater than that of both the Star Zone and Sky Zone combined, thus the total amount of material within the Cosmic Zone actually accounts for about half of the universe. Therefore, even if the backflow of expansion waves destroys the Sky Zone and Star Zone, the universe still retains about half of its mass. Of course, this figure is dynamic, as the backflow of expansion waves has already invaded the Cosmic Zone, and Cosmic Material is disappearing moment by moment.

However, in general, the Cosmic Zone, which contains half of the universe’s mass, is still very rich in materials.

Especially closer to the Cosmic Center, the richness of the materials becomes even more exaggerated, which is also the target of competition for the five major civilizations and the two super celestial bodies.

Now, the five major civilizations—Wandering Alliance, Degenerate Civilization, Black Hole Civilization, Antimatter Civilization, Pure Element Celestial Bodies—keep a certain distance in the starry space, guarding against each other.

At this moment, the Pure Element Celestial Bodies said: "I thought that through our previous cooperation in wiping out the Entropy Civilization, we had already formed a common idea, but I didn’t expect you Wandering Alliance to have other plans. However, I would like to hear several reasons why you chose to keep that Entropy Battle Star captive, and if you can’t satisfy us, I believe not just me, but all present civilizations will not condone your actions!"

"Wandering Alliance, state your reasons!"

Messages came in succession from the Degenerate Civilization, Black Hole Civilization, and Antimatter Civilization.

The Wandering Alliance said: "Actually, you’re overthinking it, we are not foolish enough to nurture a tiger that poses a threat. The reason we wanted to keep that Entropy Battle Star is mainly for two strategic purposes. One, it is the only remaining civilized planet of the Entropy Civilization, and the Entropy Civilization was the creator of the backflow of expansion waves. If we truly want to survive as long as possible, then keeping this Entropy Battle Star for intelligence research is crucial. Even though it might not necessarily be successful, as long as there is a sliver of possibility, we must try our best to grasp it, correct?"

"Secondly, the Entropy Civilization insanely created this Cosmic Crisis with the backflow of expansion waves, in their belief it was irreversible, so we specifically left them to let them witness how we defy fate and alter predestiny, to completely destroy their beliefs. This tactic is what we call ’killing them to their very hearts!’"

"Killing... and even condemning their hearts, you Wandering Alliance are really terrifying!"

The reasons of the Wandering Alliance were unexpected to the present civilizations, especially the final approach of ’killing them to their hearts.’

These civilizations realized that they might have underestimated the Wandering Alliance. However, although this strategy is extremely ruthless, the Pure Element Celestial Bodies, Antimatter Civilization, Degenerate Civilization, and Black Hole Civilization are not averse to it, but rather felt an inexplicable sense of anticipation and satisfaction. They had been repeatedly calculated against by the Entropy Civilization before, and they had been informed that the Entropy Civilization had reduced the universe’s mass, compromising the inner cycle of the Cosmic Cycle Theory, all harboring deep hatred for the Entropy Civilization. Any opportunity to retaliate against the Entropy Civilization, and to derive a bit of solace from it, they were certainly very willing to do so.

Ultimately, the five great civilizations reached a consensus once again.

They decided to temporarily retain the captive Entropy Battle Star, and deal with it when a way out is found later.

Therefore, these five great civilizations set aside their sharp opposing positions, starting to discuss ways of cooperation, as well as specific plans to survive the Cosmic Crisis.

Now, as the backflow of expansion waves continues to destroy the Cosmic Zone Space, the time left for them is getting shorter and shorter.

Therefore, the Pure Element Celestial Bodies straightforwardly said: "Since we are to cooperate, to form an alliance, there must be a common civilization system. Our Pure Element Celestial Bodies is the most ancient civilization, with the most mature system. You should all adopt our civilization system, which also has space for your survival within our Pure Element Celestial Bodies. You can freely choose!"

"I oppose!"

Degenerate Civilization suddenly said: "If we really are to find a system that is best for all civilizations, we still recommend the communal system of the Wandering Alliance, rather than your system of the Pure Element Celestial Bodies!"

"What’s happening with you Degenerate Civilization? You were just on our side, why did you suddenly change now?" the Pure Element Celestial Bodies were very puzzled.

Degenerate Civilization said: "We were not taking any side, we have always been on the side of the correct choice. If that caused any misunderstandings, we apologize, however, we still believe the communal system is the best choice."

"Speaking of which, we have been curious for a long time, why are you so optimistic about the Wandering Alliance’s communal system, what evidence do you have?" Antimatter Civilization asked, because they had been discussing this topic earlier, which was only interrupted by the emergence of the Entropy Civilization.

Degenerate Civilization said: "Rest assured, we are not a haphazard civilization, we had been covertly observing the Wandering Alliance, and had already conducted in-depth research on the communal system, very familiar with this system. I believe our research could not be wrong. As for the evidence you want, it is in the Wandering Alliance itself, mainly manifested in two aspects..."

Antimatter Civilization asked: "What are those two aspects?"

Degenerate Civilization said: "The first aspect is that the Wandering Alliance is the youngest among the present level-five civilizations, and the only civilization that has broken through level five since the outbreak of the Cosmic Crisis. This is no coincidence, this situation also underscores the rapid scientific development of the Wandering Alliance, far surpassing any of our established civilizations, and also shows the great potential of the Wandering Alliance, and all this stems from their communal system."

"I’m a bit confused by your logic, what does the speed of scientific development have to do with civilization system? You’re forcibly linking them together, isn’t that a bit far-fetched?" the Pure Element Celestial Bodies disagreed.

Degenerate Civilization was not surprised, they explained: "Initially, we thought the same as you, believing that scientific development and civilization system are two unrelated matters, even if there were some connections, they would only be trivial and unrelated issues. However, after encountering the Wandering Alliance, we realized this view was incorrect, and then began to summarize and reflect on the various influence factors of our civilizations in the process of scientific development. At the end, we found the answer!"

"What is the answer?"

Pure Element Celestial Bodies, Black Hole Civilization, and Antimatter Civilization were all very curious.

Even the Wandering Alliance themselves were very curious, as such research topics had never been done by their own civilization before.
