They stepped onto the Star Gate and crossed the void.
The Great Voyage Organization silently passed through one Star System after another, spanning one billion light-years as it left the territory of the Carapace Empire.
If this voyage had taken place before, it would inevitably have required more than three million years of travel, but in an environment where Star Gates were widespread, the crossing took only a few years.
There was no need to elaborate on the convenience of Star Gates. If a Cosmic Civilization wanted to traverse the universe quickly, it still had to rely on Star Gates. No wonder there were so many Star Gates in this region. Presumably, some civilization in ancient times had also felt that relying on Warp Speed Travel was simply too inefficient.
After arriving in the new star region, The Great Voyage Organization quickly noticed how different the environment here was—not the Great Universe environment, but the civilizations.
Yes, other civilizations existed in the new star region as well, and they were also in a state of war with the Carapace Empire. However, it was not a large-scale war, at least not at present. The two sides were like The Great Voyage Organization that humanity had belonged to back when it forced its way through the Microscopic Demon region, fighting battles for control around the Star Gates.
But the form of warfare between them could not compare to that of The Great Voyage Organization humanity had belonged to back then. Even when they fought, they rarely destroyed stars. More often, it was warships charging at one another.
They relied on warship shields, armor, cannon fire, and the like to conduct interstellar wars of various scales. What was even more miraculous was that in the war between the two sides, not only were
