But even across such a short distance, many Level Six Civilizations had already met with disaster. Some were civilizations in The Great Voyage Organization, while others were civilizations along The Great Voyage Organization's voyage route.
Every inch of the starry sky, every dazzling star above the night, had its own story unfolding. Some events Human Civilization had experienced firsthand, while others would forever remain beyond Human Civilization's event light cone.
If a civilization born in the M87 Nebula had also looked up at the stars the way humans had during the Earth Era, and if the direction they looked in was the Milky Way Galaxy, and if they had the ability to see Earth, then the Earth they saw now should have been the era when it had just recovered from the Asteroid Impact that caused the extinction of the dinosaurs, when Earth's ecological environment was still gradually recovering and the ancestors of mammals were rising.
Faster-than-light travel was so wondrous.
If there really were such a civilization with extremely powerful observational abilities, then when they learned that the group of mammals they were seeing now had actually arrived at their home in warships with the bearing of a highly advanced civilization, who knew what they would feel?
Perhaps they would point at that group of small mammals on Earth that had just crawled out of their burrows and say to humans, "Is that you? Why don't they look like it?"
And perhaps humanity would answer like this: "I'm standing right in front of you. Tell me how much I look like my former self."
Unfortunately, due to limitations in observational standards, such things would not happen in the universe—or rather, they would not happen at the level of a Level Six Civilization.
So when updating the observational data on
