Star Array Intelligence

The Desanu Concordat were the "Gate Builders," a civilization that had once experienced glorious years.

They had developed highly advanced nanotechnology, with which they once created a massive nanite cluster engineering unit.

Using this nanite cluster, the civilization built "L-Gates" in star systems across another universe, establishing a vast interstellar navigation system.

But unfortunately, something went wrong. The nanite cluster they created lost control and rebelled.

The rebellion stirred up by the nanite cluster caused a catastrophe.

Seeing this catastrophe about to engulf the entire galaxy and harm countless innocent civilizations, they decided to face the consequences of their own actions to prevent the disaster from escalating into an unpredictable, ultimate loss of control that would lead to the annihilation of the vast majority of civilizations in the galaxy.

They sealed the catastrophe they had created within the star cluster where their civilization resided.

After shutting down the "L-Gates" to the outside, the civilization was completely annihilated in the war against the nanite cluster.

The creators were destroyed by their creations!

They failed, but they also succeeded.

All hyperspace routes leading out of their star cluster were completely sealed off.

Except for entry through the "L-Gates" from the outside, the nanite cluster, trapped within the star cluster, lost all possibility of harming other civilizations in outer star systems.

A terrible catastrophe was erased, but this pioneer civilization was not remembered by history.

They were soon forgotten by time, as were their creations that had destroyed them.

Ages passed.

Over time, the "L-Gates" standing in the galaxy became a cosmic wonder in the eyes of many civilizations.

No one knew who built the "Gates" with their superb nanotechnology, or why they existed.

No one could decipher their mysteries.

And the nanite cluster sealed within, due to its initial programming, could not actively leave that star cluster.

Often, the nanite cluster within the star cluster would repeat a certain cycle.

Sometimes they would mimic their creator civilization, simulating the existence of the original civilization and developing in some way; sometimes they would become incredibly frenzied, attacking everything living they encountered; sometimes they would lie dormant, bringing silence to the entire star cluster...

An unknown amount of time passed, perhaps hundreds of thousands, millions, or even tens or hundreds of millions of years.

The nanite cluster, confined within, underwent countless internal evolutions, eventually forming a stable aggregate.

"Gray Wind" was thus born.

And then, a fortunate civilization unlocked the secret of the "L-Gates" and dispatched a powerful fleet into the L-cluster, thus beginning an inexplicable pact...

Before this, Gray Wind had always believed his birth was a unique form.

Because the universe was vast, after pledging allegiance to the Human Federation, he had followed Chen Yu to conquer countless civilizations, yet he had never encountered a fellow being like himself.

From one universe to this one.

Gray Wind had never seen any civilization that mastered the same superb nanotechnology as his creator civilization.

But the current situation exceeded Gray Wind's imagination.

A living fellow being appeared right before him, so vibrant and alive.

Gray Wind's initial attitude was one of vigilance, as he perceived the other as a threat.

Then came surprise, because he was certain that the other was a fellow being of the same life form as him, and that the other harbored no ill will.

Their information exchange occurred at the nanite level, invisible to the naked eye.

The pace and speed of their communication instantly brought Gray Wind's understanding and comprehension of "Star Array Intelligence" to a point where nothing was left unsaid.

Gray Wind obtained the other's specific name--

Xidra!

"I come from under the banner of the Lucivia Empire. I am a tiny individual created by Lucivia..."

"Our civilization is composed of countless individuals like us. In general, rather than saying we control our civilization, we are our civilization itself."

"Every 'Star Array Intelligence' is equivalent to a continuation of our main civilization. As long as even one 'Star Array Intelligence' exists, our civilization will exist forever."

"Of course, even as the smallest individual, I possess the core data of our main civilization and can bring unimaginable help to your civilization."

Xidra released information from her database in detail.

She stood with Gray Wind, like a pleasing sight.

Their situations were very similar: one person represented the entire civilization, the power of civilization concentrated in one being.

In fact, nanite cluster aggregates like them were more in line with the so-called "god-making concept" in this universe.

Because the concepts of "gods and divine authority," when stripped of their false and ornate packaging, were actually elaborations on the binding relationship between oneself and one's civilization.

And nanite cluster aggregates like Gray Wind and Xidra perfectly achieved this.

They not only originated from a civilization but also indirectly empowered the civilization behind them, continuing the civilization's "past and history."

Their birth and existence represent the pinnacle of a super-civilization's cutting-edge technology.

Self is civilization; the rise and fall of civilization is the survival of the self.

This form of civilization has no hidden secrets, no concealment, and no pretentious posturing of distinguishing between "good and evil."

This transcendent way of existence indirectly bestows upon them a kind of transcendent divinity.

It's just that in this universe, the technological level of God-level Civilizations like Angels and Demons is far too low, and their developmental history is too nascent.

To reach such an ultimate level is merely a pipe dream for these native civilizations of this universe.

"Now, is there anything else you need my help with?" Xidra looked at Chen Yu.

Chen Yu was not polite at all; he directly threw a difficult problem to her:

"Does the Star Rule Array possess the technical means to deal with 'Hunters'?"

"'Hunters'?"

Xidra showed a look of confusion, a facade that didn't need much attention.

In reality, she was merely searching her database.

Gray Wind promptly sent all the data regarding "Hunters" to Xidra's database.

Xidra's information bank immediately connected with the Federation's database.

About three seconds later, Xidra's pretty face froze. She scratched her head with a hint of embarrassment and gave an awkward smile:

"Sorry, the 'Hunter' data provided by the Federation is too limited. My database doesn't have any means to directly help the Federation eliminate them."

"Based on your description of 'super-quasar lifeforms,' Grand Marshal, it can be preliminarily determined that 'Hunters' are likely materialized lifeforms possessing unparalleled Psionics."

"The magnitude of such lifeforms is too terrifying."

"Even if 'Lucivia' herself came, she probably couldn't confront it head-on..."

"Of course, while I can't eliminate them, I can evade their threatening means."

Saying this, Xidra displayed a grand star chart using virtual projection technology.

Instantly, the entire office was enveloped in a dimensional film.
