Earth Calendar, year 9800.
With a burst of intense spacetime fluctuations, a tiny fleet of five hundred starships appeared at the edge of the Andromeda Galaxy.
After 5,143 years, Human Civilization had finally crossed the vast gulf between the Milky Way Galaxy and the Andromeda Galaxy!
In the once exceedingly sparse interstellar space, particles from the Andromeda Galaxy gradually grew denser.
Under Zero's control, [Kuafu] slowly increased its power output, and the Micro-Universe Port opened.
This would be the final round of repairs and resupply before entering the Andromeda Galaxy.
Inside the Human Federation's micro-universe.
Electronic synthesized voices rang out aboard both [Earth] and the [Home Fortress].
"The fleet has successfully reached its designated destination. Duration of this voyage: 5,143 years. Current time: Earth Calendar, July 16, 9800, 04:16 a.m."
"Initiating the first phase of the awakening plan."
At the edge of the Andromeda-Milky Way Intergalactic Bridge.
A planet enveloped in a faint blue-white glow hovered silently in the empty cosmos.
The planet was small, less than five hundred kilometers in diameter.
By Human Civilization's standards, it could only be considered an "asteroid."
The glow on its surface was not intense. It was even somewhat gentle.
Through that faint blue-white glow, the planet's surface structure was clearly visible.
It was a perfectly smooth sphere, without a single protrusion or depression.
A strong interaction structure!
Not only that, but the planet neither rotated nor orbited anything!
It was an artificial planetary fortress!
Its design philosophy diverged considerably from that of Human Civilization-normally, planetary fortresses were built as large as possible without compromising structural strength or maneuverability.
The reason was simple: the larger the fortress, the more weapons and equipment it could hold, and the greater its combat power on the front lines.
But the creator of this planetary fortress clearly
