Anomalous Spacetime Effect

The second critical reason for urgently deploying the Aether Phase Engine was to fully realize the next great ascension of all humanity!

The three ascensions currently achieved by all Federation citizens—psychic, genetic, and cybernetic—had merely made the human race appear godlike compared to other alien species, granting them the potential to become like gods.

For Chen Yu, who held the will of civilization in his hands, this was clearly insufficient.

Surging psychic power granted humanity immortality and transcendent might;

Powerful genetics allowed human flesh and blood to rival the finest craftsmanship;

Eternal and perfect metallic cybernetics elevated human thought and logic to an incredibly wondrous dimension.

These three ascensions had opened a new era for human civilization.

But psychic power was ethereal, flesh was frail, and metal was prone to damage.

These three paths of ascension should not be the final destination for all humanity!

The ultimate goal of human ascension should not be limited to merely "being like gods."

Their race, their civilization, should also achieve a position equal to that of true gods!

Chen Yu also believed that the civilizational will of the Human Federation possessed the resolve and courage to pursue such a great goal.

Once the engine was activated, this goal had a high probability of being realized.

"But what exactly is hindering me in this regard?"

"Could there be some deviation in a certain link, leaving behind a hidden peril?" Chen Yu was utterly perplexed.

Clearly, under his leadership, every Federation citizen possessed the confidence to declare war on the boundless universe.

This confidence was not a ridiculous blind arrogance; they truly had the capability and the foundation.

Having the confidence and foundation to dare to declare war on the myriad stars and the infinite universe was the supreme proof that the human race was qualified to stand equal with true gods.

Logically, since every Federation citizen was like this, the civilizational will, which embodied the beliefs of all citizens, should not be hesitant to advance either.

When something is abnormal, there must be a reason.

But no matter what, the plan could not stop.

Chen Yu, while trying to unravel this troubling issue, continued to execute the plan to deploy the Aether Phase Engine.

He was as calm as a precision machine, undisturbed by stray thoughts.

"Great Human Lord, please wait a little longer..."

"Wait for us, do not abandon us."

"I beg of you..."

This time, the whispers in his ear were sharper, clearer, like the weeping of restless spirits, placing greater mental pressure on Chen Yu.

Human Lord? Was that addressing him?

Chen Yu was puzzled and bewildered.

Had the Federation added such an honorary title for him?

When did that happen?

He would have Gray Wind look into it later.

As Chen Yu was pondering this, Gray Wind's expression suddenly turned serious, his handsome brow slightly furrowing. "Reporting to the Marshal, the Sentry Array has sent back feedback information!"

"At a distance of approximately one billion light-years from the Milky Way, in the Hou Shen Galaxy, strong and frequent Anomalous Spacetime Effects are occurring..."

"At the same time, the Ministry of Armaments reports that the 'Guixu-class Burning Heaven Divine Soldier Gonggong,' dispatched to the Hou Shen Galaxy for dark matter resource extraction, has received dense Subspace Echoes upon arriving within that galaxy's range!"

Within the Federation, matters were not reported directly to Chen Yu unless they were serious.

Since it had been reported to him, it could only mean the problem was severe.

The Star Map System was immediately opened, and a scarlet alarm was instantly raised!

Chen Yu also frowned.

The Super God Universe was different from the Starry Universe.

In the Starry Universe, due to the existence of the "Void Realm,"

countless galactic structures over one hundred thousand light-years in size, like the Milky Way, were dominated by the Void Realm, as if wrapped in a curtain.

Under the domination of the "Void Realm," the life and civilizations in countless galaxies were trapped in an almost eternal cycle of suffering within their own galaxies.

Due to this interference from the "Void Realm," a spatial rift had formed between each galaxy in that universe.

Any means of crossing between galaxies had to break through the curtain barriers set up by the "Void Realm."

This forced the vast majority of civilizations within the Milky Way to huddle within their small galactic clusters, locked in endless slaughter.

Even a river-system-level overlord civilization like the Human Federation was constrained by this limitation.

But the Super God Universe had no such situation.

Every space between galaxies was interconnected, unobstructed.

As long as the technical conditions were solid enough, the Federation's fleet could autonomously travel to virtually any galaxy within the universe that had been detected and observed.

However, the known universe of the Super God Universe was also limited in scope.

The maximum known range of this universe, based on Chen Yu's understanding, seemed to correspond only to the size of a "Hercules–Corona Borealis Great Wall" structure.

The other supermassive structures that should have existed in his memory, such as "CfA2" and the "Sloan Great Wall," were completely absent.

By this universe's standards, those supermassive structures had presumably been relegated to the unknown universe.

Under the surveillance of the Sentry Array, the entire edge of the Super God Universe appeared shrouded in a layer of shadow.

Just looking at that shadow made one involuntarily ponder.

Beyond the edge, in the unknown universe, what exactly existed?

Chen Yu and the Human Federation behind him were not like those so-called god-level civilizations under the Shenhe Technology System in this universe, who "fenced themselves in and played among themselves."

Before such a boundless cosmos, their race clearly understood.

Even with the Ultimate Startup Engine, ascending to become true gods, their civilization had absolutely not reached any so-called ultimate form.

The ascension of a civilization was a journey without end.

Before the eternal cosmos, their race had merely advanced to a relatively forward position.

The closer they approached the peak, the more they felt their own insignificance.

Therefore, they always maintained an attitude of respectful distance toward the unknown phenomena appearing in the universe.

Of course, if conflict arose with those unknown entities, the entire Federation was equally confident in declaring war against them.

So then, what was causing the "Anomalous Spacetime Effect" and "Subspace Echo" now appearing in the Hou Shen Galaxy?

In Chen Yu's memory, this had never happened before—it shouldn't even be possible.

"Marshal, it seems the Anomalous Spacetime Effect isn't limited to the Hou Shen Galaxy. The Andromeda Nebula near the Milky Way, the Canis Major Dwarf Galaxy, and others are showing similar signs!"

"Hiss..." Gray Wind sharply sucked in a breath, an expression of disbelief spreading across his small face:

"Marshal, the central region of the Milky Way is also exhibiting a strong and distinct Anomalous Spacetime Effect!"

"????"

Chen Yu stared at the Star Map System before him, a sense of foreboding washing over him.

Virtually every detected galactic structure within the known universe was flashing anomaly warnings.

It was as if some apocalyptic scene had erupted.

What was going on?

Had the "Ultimate Fear" of this universe descended?

That shouldn't be...

"Notify the Armed Forces. All Federation fleets are to immediately enter the highest level of strategic alert!"

A strong sense of crisis suddenly emerged. To guard against the unexpected, Chen Yu issued another order:

"Activate the 'Falling Star Sky Spear' into 'Charging State.' Activate the 'Tianshu Sacred Shield' into 'Full Defense Mechanism'!"
