"Although we slew three Tidal Hearts,
it seems to have made little difference to this ocean of tides."
Wang Guannan said with some emotion.
"The universe has always been the most boundless vessel and the source of life.
Even a Level 9 Civilization, or even a Level 10 Super-Class Biological, is, at most, no more than an insignificant speck of dust in the universe.
Take this ocean of tides, for example.
It gave birth to a Level 10 Super-Class Biological like the Tidal Heart.
Yet the ocean itself won't be affected at all by the Tidal Heart's demise.
Perhaps, in another few million years,
a new Tidal Heart will emerge from this ocean of tides.
Or perhaps some other Level 10 Super-Class Biological.
Who knows?"
Gao Luanqin sighed wistfully.
"It's just like the Kindling Warship.
Once it evolves to the Star Destroyer stage, it can easily destroy a planet.
But when faced with a more advanced celestial body in the universe—a star—it seems rather powerless.
I wonder when we'll be able to deal with stars as easily as we do planets."
Shi Zunhou suddenly sounded a little wistful, too.
"The difference between planets and stars is simply astronomical!
The material that makes up a single star would be enough to form millions of planets!

The entire observable universe would eventually be unified!
And if two civilizations with that technology appeared at the same time,
then if those two civilizations ever broke out into all-out war, the universe itself might be destroyed!"
Xu Zhenzhi shook his head and said gravely.
"Exactly. It doesn't take much
