Flowing Silver Universe on the Brink of Death
In the endless starry sea of the Flowing Silver Empire, a fleet of starships is traversing the collapsing universe.
This is a universe riddled with holes, where stars have fallen silent and starlight has vanished. The only place that can still emit light is the coordinates of the Flowing Silver Empire.
Inside the ship, Anir gazed through the porthole at the universe riddled with empty holes, a sight that had shocked him for a thousand years.
Through these voids, he seemed to see traces of time and cracks in space. He remembered that when he last returned, this universe, while not as vibrant with life as the World Tree Universe, shouldn't have become like this in such a short time...
"He seemed perfectly normal when he came back last time, I never expected..."
Nias shook his head slightly, his face showing a hint of helplessness and heaviness.
"It has been hundreds of years since you last came back. In these hundreds of years, collapse points have appeared one after another. Even the Empire cannot plug so many holes in a short time. Over time, the life force of the universe has been rapidly lost, and it has become like this."
Listening to Nias's words, Anir felt deeply that this universe was dying.
Anir looked out the porthole again; the enormous hole seemed to be embedded in a black curtain, giving one an endless sense of fear and despair of being swallowed up.
He couldn't help but ask, "What about the Nether Abyss Civilization? Didn't they take action?"
Nias paused for a moment, then said, "The Nether Abyss Civilization did not want to cooperate with us, and then they were destroyed by the Emperor using the Collapse Point."
Anir caught his breath. Although something felt off, the Emperor's choice seemed quite reasonable.
However, Anir still felt it was somewhat unreal that a civilization that had once opposed the empire had simply vanished into the dust of history.
The light faded, the starship was no longer in teleportation mode, and they returned to the Empire.
A top civilization that still appears prosperous, yet whose decline is hard to conceal.
After all, knowing that the universe is about to die and that they are powerless to stop it is indeed very psychologically taxing.
Even though their race has been optimized to the point of abandoning most of the negative emotions that hinder evolution, they still find it difficult to suppress the despair that arises in the face of this situation.
The Imperial base brought the starship into the port, and after a series of security checks, they were allowed to leave. The Emperor, having learned of their return, summoned them.
Spatial passages appeared before both of them, and the figure inside was none other than the Emperor, the supreme ruler of the Flowing Silver Empire, seated on his throne.
Without hesitation, the two stepped into the spatial passage and were then teleported to the throne.
"How's the matter going?"
The Emperor asked.
Nias respectfully reported the situation to the Emperor.
The emperor listened, his brows furrowing.
He knew that time was running out for this universe, and they needed to act quickly.
But when he heard that the key to the World Tree asked them to help her advance to the Supreme Level, the Emperor frowned even more deeply.
If we help her reach the Supreme Level in a short period of time, it will definitely require a lot of resources. If we spend so many resources at this critical moment, how will our civilization deal with the war against the World Tree Civilization?
"Have you tried to take military action?" the Emperor asked after a moment of contemplation.
With the strength of a Level 6 civilization, capturing a Level 4 civilization would be a very easy task.
Nias shook his head. "No, the other party is protected by a powerful figure from the Celestial Throne Civilization, and that powerful figure's strength is probably no less than yours."
The emperor sighed helplessly, "So that's how it is..."
Nias continued, "In addition, she has mastered a special law that reduces the combat power of those facing her by more than 80% within the same level."
The emperor was stunned. "What? How much?"
Nias: "Once the opponent advances to the Supreme Level, the combat power of a Supreme Level expert facing her will decrease by 80%."
The Emperor was utterly shocked. How could such outrageous laws exist in the neighboring universe?
Nias added, "Of course, we have collected relatively little data and there are still many questions, such as whether this law will still be effective above the Supreme Level, or whether it will only be effective in the other's universe, etc."
The emperor waved his hand and said, "Alright, let's start drafting the alliance. Also, this alliance should not only restrict our side, but also restrict the other side."
Policy-making: The Empire's strategy department began to formulate a suitable alliance based on the information provided by the two.
One month later.
The Flowing Silver Empire arrived in Silver Spiral with a large fleet.
Their arrival was witnessed by everyone, and they were all astonished by their fleet.
When they first saw the starships that came by, they thought they were the enemy's strongest warships. But it turns out that those starships were just advance reconnaissance ships. The fleet that is coming now is surrounded by a giant warship that is as big as a star cluster.
Everyone in the Silver Vortex Society thought that the Flowing Silver Empire was going to wage war against them.
In fact, this is impossible.
As a level six civilization, the Flowing Silver Empire could easily crush everyone in the Silver Vortex with any fleet. The reason they made such a grand spectacle was simply because their emperor was coming in person.
This fleet not only demonstrates the empire's dominance but also ensures the emperor's personal safety.
Su Xi and her companions were also shocked by the sheer size of these fleets...
Su Xi remarked, "I didn't expect that even a Level 6 civilization would like to build such massive warships..."
She thought that a civilization of this level might already be using a more advanced type of warship, or one with a special form, but she didn't expect them to still be aiming to build massive ones.
Of course, bigger is better, that's reasonable.
"The main purpose of this fleet's appearance is probably to demonstrate its strength," Iksil, shaking his head.
A level 6 civilization wouldn't only research giant fleets.
Soon, the Flowing Silver Empire broadcasted throughout the Silver Vortex Starry Sky that their arrival was to sign an alliance with Su Xi to welcome her aboard their ship.
A path of light stretched from the Imperial Battleship to the edge of Senxing, attracting everyone's attention.
For a time, speculation about the relationship between Su Xi and the Flowing Silver Empire, and why the Flowing Silver Empire wanted to sign an alliance with Su Xi, filled the entire internet.
"Good heavens..." Su Xi was speechless.
This Flowing Silver Empire is really good at creating drama.
Su Xi and the others walked onto Guangmang Road.
Then, in an instant, everyone arrived at the end of the Radiant Road, the Emperor Battleship.
"Holy crap, that's amazing!" Su Xi exclaimed in surprise.
Guan Pu's expression remained unchanged as he stroked his chin. "Interesting. It's somewhat similar to our Shrinking Earth to an Inch spell."
