After sending out the coordinates, the Silver Heart Alliance warship did not leave. Instead, it continued in the form of Gravitational Wave: "This is what their warship looks like. It is very likely from the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds, or it may be from the Andromeda Galaxy. No matter where it comes from, their arrival in the Milky Way Galaxy is a fact. Their arrival also proves, in a way, that the Previous Generation Voyager existed. Our Milky Way Galaxy once had a powerful civilization, or a powerful civilization passed through the Milky Way Galaxy and left behind information about the route for leaving the Milky Way Galaxy. This is our hope, and you should understand this."

"Also, here's a free tip for you: while we were probing that Extragalactic Civilization, we also discovered traces of Harvesters activity. They may have already discovered that Extragalactic Civilization, but we don't know why they haven't made a move yet."

This kind of message, which is sent in the form of Gravitational Wave, does not directly transmit the message to the other party's "ear," and is different from the so-called secret transmission or long-distance transmission.

The basic principle is to generate Gravitational Wave with effective information vibrations in the Void near oneself, which are then detected by the receiver using detection methods Beyond the Light Cone. This achieves the effect of knowing what one is saying even before the information carried by the Gravitational Wave reaches the target.

Of course, if the other party doesn't probe, then it's impossible to know what the other party is saying in real time.

In the absence of mutual trust between two civilizations to the point of exchanging real-time communicators, this is undoubtedly the best way to communicate.

"The Harvesters? I understand. You want to drag them down with you, but if that's all, you don't need to do anything. The Harvesters won't let any civilization with Characteristic Technology go unpunished, unless that civilization from Extragalactic Civilization doesn't have Characteristic Technology." The Deformed Metal finally responded. He had indeed detected the coordinate information sent by the Silver Heart Alliance warship, but he didn't seem to make any comment about it.

"Yes." The warship of the Silver Heart Alliance quickly rippled through spacetime again. "As a civilization that came from across a galaxy, I believe they have it, so the Harvesters will come after them sooner or later."

"So what? Harvesters go after whoever they want, it's none of my business!" The Deformed Metal changed its shape again, becoming a sphere with a diameter of about two thousand kilometers.

If it weren't for its obvious metallic sheen, it would look no different from a planet at this point.

Seeing that the Deformed Metal seemed to have calmed down and stayed, the Silver Heart Alliance warship pressed its advantage, saying, "This is an opportunity, an opportunity to eliminate the Harvesters."

The Deformed Metal let out a cold laugh, "Eliminate the Harvesters? You said the same thing last time, but when the fight broke out, you ran away faster than anyone else. If it weren't for you, that Quantum Lifeform wouldn't have died. If it hadn't died, we would still have had a chance. You destroyed our only hope. We've been hiding for millions of years, like rats crossing the street, not even daring to linger in the Great Universe. It's all because of you, Silver Heart Alliance. You are the biggest hypocrites in the Milky Way Galaxy."

"The Quantum Lifeform's situation was due to his arrogance and greed. He disregarded the bigger picture and fell into the Harvesters's trap. What does it have to do with us? That idiot brought it on himself millions of years ago; why bring him up again?" The Silver Heart Alliance warship clearly didn't buy into this argument.

The warship's surface flashed with Star Gleam a few times, then shifted its position and continued, "And speaking of fleeing upon seeing Electron Warship, of all the civilizations that participated in the war back then, you had the least say. How come, millions of years later, you've created a worthless Silicon-Based Collective, and you don't even have the courage to face Electron Warship again? It seems the members of your consortium aren't very good either. Did you gather some AI idiots to form a consortium? Millions of years have passed, and you haven't made any progress at all. We truly feel sorry for you. Why don't you just join our alliance? Raising a bunch of AI idiots is a dead end."

"You hateful carbon-based monkeys, a bunch of inferior creatures who only know how to parasitize machines, I advise you to think carefully before you speak!" The Deformed Metal, referred to as the Silicon-Based Collective union by the Silver Heart Alliance, said angrily, its threat evident in its words.

However, the Silver Heart Alliance did not back down in the face of such wording. Instead, they continued to send messages, seemingly unafraid of the Deformed Metal becoming angry or refusing to cooperate. "Heh, aren't we telling the truth? You self-proclaimed noble beings have lost to a Carbon-Based Lifeforms creation in your proudest field of electronics, to the point that you are terrified of it."

"That's enough. Let's not talk about each other. You're all no better."

The Silicon-Based Collective's Deformed Metal paused, setting aside the topic from millions of years ago, and instead said, "Without Quantum Lifeform, who will deal with the Harvesters's Electron Warship? Will you come, or will the Perseus Commonwealth come?"

He was indeed tempted. If the Silver Heart Alliance was the one that most wanted the Harvesters to perish in this Milky Way Galaxy, then the one that most wanted the Harvesters' Electron Warship to be destroyed was his Silicon-Based Collective.

As long as the Electron Warship remains, he and the silicon-based civilization within the Silicon-Based Collective can only live like rats in the street, hiding in the Milky Way Galaxy, fearing being discovered by the Harvesters.

The Silver Heart Alliance seems to have a good grasp of this aspect.

Because they knew what the Silicon-Based Collective wanted. In fact, compared to the Great Voyage, the Silicon-Based Collective was more concerned with destroying the Harvesters's Electron Warship. The Silver Heart Alliance even believed that the Silicon-Based Collective's apparent desire for the Great Voyage was likely driven to despair by the Harvesters's Electron Warship, rather than because they felt that continuing to develop in the Milky Way Galaxy was hopeless.

Come to think of it, the Silicon-Based Collective didn't actually exist millions of years ago. It was only after the battle against the Harvesters that those silicon-based civilizations realized the truth and, under immense pressure to survive, chose to form a consortium to fight the Harvesters together.

After that battle, those silicon-based civilizations that always considered themselves extraordinary and touted themselves as advanced Sentient Life were truly terrified. They didn't even have the power to resist the Electron Warship and simply shut down.

The Silver Heart Alliance still remembers the scene where hundreds of silicon-based civilizations at the Level Six Civilization and tens of thousands of Level 5 Civilization -based civilizations at the fifth level were utterly powerless against the Electron Warship in a single encounter, and even their escape depended on who could outrun their teammates.

Millions of years ago, silicon-based civilizations were far more powerful in the Milky Way Galaxy than they are now, swarming across the sky like locusts. However, after that war, everything changed. It wasn't the Harvesters constantly harassing them; rather, the surviving silicon-based civilizations dared not roam freely anymore.
