Across the entire galaxy, throughout all the territory ruled by the races of gods and cultivators, the Amoebas launched invasion-style attacks at almost the same moment.
After the strategic plan had been finalized, Perpetuity began deploying forces across the galaxy. Hundreds of millions of successor clusters each locked onto a stellar system as their assault target. All they had to do was wait for Perpetuity's command before immediately setting out on faster-than-light surprise attacks.
Thanks to the construction of the wormway network, an instant communications network spanning the vast scale of the entire galaxy allowed all Amoebas to coordinate surprise assaults on a galactic battlefield scale.
Even when clusters were separated by hundreds or even thousands of light-years, the difference in timing between their attacks would not exceed a week.
A week might seem like a long time, but across the enormous expanse of a galaxy spanning at least tens of thousands of light-years, it could basically be considered no delay at all.
One had to know that even traveling at light speed would result in delays of tens of thousands of years over such distances. Light itself needed tens of thousands of years to travel from one end to the other. Compared to that, one week was practically nothing.
Throughout space, countless stellar systems belonging to the races of gods suffered surprise attacks from the successors. The cultivators faced the same fate.
Within a certain stellar system, on the moon of the fourth-orbit planet.
The moon orbited a gas giant once every forty-eight years. Because the gas giant blocked the starlight, the moon experienced periodic freezing eras, and one was now beginning.
On the surface, amid green mountains and clear waters, two intelligent beings dressed in animal hides conversed with each other.
Judging from their appearances, one was an
