Fish Trying to Go Ashore

The information left behind by the Precursors was not lengthy, but it was incredibly dense. Even after reading it, some people still studied every sentence for information that might have been hidden within.

For instance, the Precursors had said that there was only a sliver of hope at the Great Void, and that it was because of Dark Matter.

That brief message alone gave humanity a much clearer understanding of the predicament facing a Level Six Civilization. First of all, humanity already knew that the hallmark of a Level Six Civilization's technological system was a breakthrough in the Technology Tree related to Dark Matter.

In other words, Level Six Civilizations had succeeded because of Dark Matter, yet they had also become trapped at that level because of Dark Matter.

There were also certain theories about Dark Matter. Humanity was still very, very far from the Dark Matter-related Technology Tree, but it did have some theories—or rather, conjectures—regarding Dark Matter.

The Precursors' words confirmed some of humanity's conjectures about Dark Matter.

Though that confirmation was not founded on concrete scientific data, if the Precursors had not lied, it would undoubtedly help humanity avoid many detours in its future research.

Dark Matter did indeed accumulate on the gravitational scale of galaxies, and the fewer galaxies there were in a region, the less Dark Matter there was relatively speaking.

Or perhaps it should be said the other way around: the initial driving force that had caused matter to gather into galaxies was Dark Matter. It was the combined Gravity of Dark Matter and ordinary matter that had brought one galaxy after another, Galaxy Groups, and superclusters into existence across the stars.

As for how Dark Matter had first appeared, why there was so much more of it than ordinary matter, humanity did not
