Humanity had been deeply invested in studying the universe's wondrous phenomena, so they had been quite reluctant to leave. But there was no other choice.

Though endless wandering increased the danger of a civilization being destroyed, danger came with opportunity as well.
Just like the Small Universe that Awakener 'Illusion' had created for humanity. It was there, containing two-thirds of an Astronomical-Level Particle Collider left behind by humanity. That was an opportunity for a Level 3 Civilization. If a civilization had always remained near its home planet, expanding and developing outward with
