The activities of civilizations always left traces of themselves in the universe, more or less, just as humanity had along its journey. The first time humanity left traces of its civilization on another planet was on the Dog-Headed People Planet, the second was in the Awakeners' Small Universe, and this was now the third.
Perhaps there were civilizations in the universe much like Human Civilization. Some deliberately left things behind, while others, like humanity, inadvertently left behind their creations, which became Civilization Ruins in the eyes of other civilizations.
Clearly, this benefited other civilizations, though it also depended on whether that unknown civilization was lucky. The Nair Civilization, for example, had been extremely fortunate. They found the Astronomical-Level Particle Collider left behind by humanity. As long as their lifeforms were not foolish, reaching the level of a Level 4 Civilization was practically guaranteed.
Yet Human Civilization was now striving to step onto the path of a Level 5 Civilization. Yes, Human Civilization rather than the Star Alliance. This was a discovery humanity had made during its attempt to unravel the Theory of Everything.
On the path toward mastering the Theory of Everything, humanity discovered that the other civilizations of the Star Alliance were not of much help. Civilizations such as the Kun-Tai Civilization and the Crimson Flame Civilization had their top scientists participate in humanity's research efforts, and humanity also gave them some Theory of Everything research projects to work on. Yet their performance was utterly disappointing, as though the matter was incredibly difficult for them.
Compared to them, the Celestial Dog Civilization and the Nair Civilization were better, especially the Nair Civilization. After their top scientists had spent enough time participating in the research, humanity could see that they had been steadily improving. Their research performance was the best.
