I'll Take My Leave First

But the most astonishing thing was that the individual lifeforms of the Crimson Flame Civilization could directly understand the meaning. That alone was not a normal form of contact.

From the Crimson Flame Civilization's report, it could be inferred that they had encountered some civilization or unknown entity within this star system. The other side had somehow transmitted information, which the individual lifeforms received by directly sensing its meaning within their consciousness.

Since it was an Unknown Civilization, it presumably had never communicated with the Star Alliance. For two unfamiliar civilizations making first contact to communicate, they should have followed the normal contact procedure: first align their signals, then expand from mathematical understanding to physical laws, axioms, and formulas. Only then could they extend communication to the various aspects of both civilizations, eventually establishing an exchange where they truly understood one another's meaning.

Of course, some species possessed such bizarre worldviews that they were difficult to communicate with. As science fiction novels described, some might even be lifeforms beyond the Gang Mu type, making communication nearly impossible. But no matter how difficult it was, the issue would still be a difference in thought and cognition. Everyone lived in a universe governed by the same physical laws. Their understanding of the number one represented by individual stars would still be the same. That was the foundation of communication among Cosmic Civilizations: mathematical understanding.

Yet this civilization, located who knew where, had bypassed that entire process and directly conveyed its meaning into the consciousness of Crimson Flame Civilization lifeforms.

It completely surpassed humanity's scientific understanding, though not the limits of imagination.

"Chief!" Fu Mingtang, who had spoken earlier, seemed to notice Yue Yuan lost in thought for a long time and called out to remind him.

Yue Yuan came back to himself
