"N78 Exploration Ship... discovered an unknown universe cluster... investigation triggered... defenses... disaster... forced landing..."
The voice made Yu Yuan pause.
An exploration ship, a universe cluster, triggered defenses...
Those were hardly terms a civilization universe would use.
"A universe cluster..." Yu Yuan immediately thought of the New World and the civilization universes.
Wasn't that exactly what they were?
The New World had captured numerous civilization universes, connected their rules, and eventually linked them together.
A civilization universe connected by the New World would never have developed that concept.
Yu Yuan himself had never thought of a universe cluster before.
To him, there had only been civilization universes and the New World.
Did this ship come from another universe cluster? The thought sprang into Yu Yuan's mind.
He sucked in a breath.
"Holy..."
Yu Yuan scanned the control room, his heart racing.
He wasted no more time and began absorbing the relics.
He lightly touched the tree. A faint shimmer appeared, and his Epitaph of Civilization talent lit up.
Before Yu Yuan's eyes, the tree dissolved into light and vanished.
A new epitaph entry had appeared within Epitaph of Civilization.
But it was still indistinct.
"It works!"
Yu Yuan's greatest worry had been that he couldn't absorb the relics aboard this ship. After all, if it truly had come from another universe cluster,
there was no guarantee it would meet Epitaph of Civilization's requirements.
Now, though, he could absorb them without hesitation.
He immediately set about absorbing every relic. As for the remains in the containment bay, he buried them in the Deity Forbidden Zone, where they could be fully reclaimed and put to use.
There, they could finally rest in peace.
With the help of the civilization universe's lingering will, the entire ship rapidly disappeared.
