A Similar Scene

The battle between the Awakeners's Rectangular Warship and the Harvesters fleet demonstrates the far-reaching impact of Level Six Civilization's conflict. In a small skirmish like this, they recklessly detonated a star, solely to seize the initiative.

For these civilizations, Supernova Explosion might be nothing more than a casual act, merely a small battlefield advantage in a fight, but for weaker civilizations in the Milky Way Galaxy, it could be a catastrophe.

Civilizations that are particularly close to the battlefield star system.

If they were Level 0 Civilization still relying on their home planet for survival, they would certainly perish under the light of such Supernova Explosion, because Supernova Explosion also has another name: Gamma Ray Burst.

Within a 50-light-year radius of the supernova's location, all life on Life Planet will face mass extinction.

The light from this Supernova Explosion will continue to illuminate every corner of the Milky Way Galaxy for tens of thousands of years, making it the brightest star in the Milky Way Galaxy. If war were to break out, such stellar explosions would likely occur in more than one place, bringing catastrophe to all civilizations near the battlefield.

Coincidentally, the location of the Awakeners's Small Universe is less than 8,000 light-years away from the star system where humanity is currently working to build New Particle Collider.

This distance is unattainable for humans, but not for Level Six Civilization; they could cross it in a maximum of thirty years.

Of course, with current technology, Supernova Explosion at such a distance wouldn't instantly kill humanity with Gamma Ray Burst, but the continuous bursts of light from the stars would certainly impact the New Particle Collider. However, humanity is clearly unaware of this yet, and even if we did, there's nothing we can do; we can only pray that the exploration of the Grand Unified Theory is completed before the aftermath of the war arrives.

Right now, humanity is still working hard to build it. In terms of progress, the construction of the New Particle Collider has been going smoothly, with about 50% of the work completed. According to the plan, it should be completed in about six or seven hundred years.

At this moment, oblivious humanity is still immersed in the anticipation of the New Particle Collider and the pride in its own industrial capabilities.

However, at this very moment, human scientists suddenly observed an unknown phenomenon in the starry sky.

As the leader, Yue Yuan received the news immediately. This time, he didn't need to rush to the Command Center because he was already Command Center.

"Commander Yue, the latest observational data from the Astronomy Department: the stars are disappearing!"

The speaker was the new Science Officer of the Lyra, a young woman, only 720 years old this year. She had a beautiful face, a graceful figure, and excellent professional skills. Well, nowadays, no human woman is ugly, after all, we have already Designed Evolution.

With her outstanding scientific knowledge, she won the election for the Lyra Science Officer, a term of five hundred years.

As soon as she finished speaking, images transmitted from various types of telescopes and probes appeared on the large screen in the Lyra Command Center.

Since setting foot in the starry sky, Yue Yuan has encountered quite a few things. Although when he heard these words, he knew that something major must have happened in the starry sky, and that this major event might be dangerous to humanity, he learned to remain calm.

Impatience solves nothing.

The claim that the starry sky is disappearing is a sensational statement that would always attract attention, but Yue Yuan was not impatient. He simply nodded and quietly watched the changing scene.

The first thing you see is a dazzling starry sky. Because it's a picture of the night sky taken by humans and processed by human computers, the star map also has the names of some stars labeled on it.

For example, the Big Dipper Orion's Belt, Gemini, Pleiades One Pleiades Three, and Aldebaran, Yue Yuan saw that the Big Dipper was no longer shaped like a dipper. There were also signs in the sky marked in gray by humans, such as "the original Solar System" and "the Original Alpha Centauri Trinary Star System".

They are embedded in the dazzling galaxy, representing human longing.

However, in the next moment, the dazzling Milky Way and the stars with familiar names in the star map all disappeared one after another into the Milky Way.

No, after they gradually disappeared, they could no longer be considered a galaxy, because the final star map had become pitch black, with nothing but blackness.

The dazzling light of the Galaxy and Extragalactic Civilization has all disappeared.

This scene shocked Yue Yuan, but he did not shout or make a fuss, because at this moment he had roughly judged what was going on based on his years of accumulated experience and scientific literacy.

It's true that human telescopes and detectors of all types can no longer detect the stars, but the stars cannot disappear. The most likely explanation is that starlight has bypassed human telescopes and detectors, or that starlight has been blocked by something, making it undetectable to humans.

"What being caused this?" Yue Yuan asked himself, taking a deep breath.

Just then, the female Science Officer from the Lyra spoke again, simultaneously switching the previously black screen back to its previous display. "They haven't all disappeared. There are still one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight—eight more stars."

At this point, she clearly realized something, and after a pause, her voice rang out again. "Commander Yue, there are eight stars. These eight stars are the eight stars from which we are currently collecting resources."

Upon hearing this, Yue Yuan became even more certain that this phenomenon must be the work of some being, and it seemed to be targeting humanity.

"Who, which civilization, is playing this prank? Or is there some being watching humanity all along?" Thinking this, Yue Yuan felt a chill run down his spine.

At this moment, the female Science Officer gave a brief report on the progress of the disappearance of the stars. Meanwhile, the staff inside the Lyra were busy exchanging various data.

Only Yue Yuan stood quietly in front of the large screen, his pupils somewhat unfocused. Clearly, he wasn't looking at the now completely black screen, but rather pondering the truth behind this phenomenon.

First of all, if it was indeed the work of some powerful being, it must be a powerful being, because although many scientists have thought that the light from the stars was being blocked, they do not know the specific principle behind it.

Secondly, it seems that this entity has no ill intentions towards humanity, as evidenced by the fact that all the stars have disappeared, leaving only eight planets that humans are developing resources on still lit.

Finally, this phenomenon is similar to what humanity has encountered before, specifically when we met the Awakeners. Back then, humanity thought it was some kind of Starry Sky Behemoth or some kind of weapon that could cut through light.

"Could it be the Awakeners?" Yue Yuan frowned, raising his eyelids to look at the real-time star map, which now only had eight faint bright spots.
