At the same time, in the cosmic void, Gaogong's eyes snapped open, and dense Ascension light erupted from his body once more.
This time, however, it was no longer the Ascension light of the fusion system. It belonged solely to the information civilization—or, more precisely, to the Star Network civilization.
In the next instant, the ascending "Star Network" captured Gaogong's main body. The surrounding stars flickered faintly, and then Gaogong's figure vanished once more.
Almost at the same time, a faint ripple spread out, but it failed to capture any trace of Gaogong.
Another unfamiliar ripple, however, accurately captured the information of the "host" within the Insect Network.
Gaogong's "gaze" plunged and surged along the information torrent. Soon, this "information torrent" transformed into a "galactic torrent." At that point, Gaogong finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Reaching this stage meant that this information Ascension was clearly no longer in danger of failing.
Sure enough, as the Ascension information transformed, the system's notification soon rang out.
[The "Information Civilization—Star Network Civilization" you are in has completed Ascension] [You have obtained the fourth-tier network—Ascended Network] [You have obtained "Ascended Knowledge Sharing"] [You have obtained—Genesis-level Computation (Level One)] [You have obtained—Intermediate Spacetime Branch Evolution] ["Cyber Hacker" has returned to the faction] [You have obtained the evolutionary technology "Ascension Coordinates (Information)"] [You have obtained Fourth Calamity—Darkside Personality]

What he "felt" was no longer a simple data stream, but the pulse of the civilization's collective consciousness—thirty million digitized minds flickered like stars at various network nodes, each carrying unique memories, emotions, and patterns of thought.
"Holy crap, we finally ascended too?"
"Wasn't easy. Those mechanical bastards looked down on us every day. They even betrayed the
