Earth Calendar year 11707.
Human Civilization and the Silicon Stingray Civilization had already spent five years waiting in vain in this empty region at the galaxy's edge.
Five years! Five whole years!
Did anyone have any idea how humanity had spent those five years?!
During five years of "house arrest," they had lived in fear, while development at the Academy of Sciences had also ground to a halt.
The reason was simple.
Without knowing what contingencies the Gardener Faction Civilization had prepared, no one wanted to expose Human Civilization to this "mortal enemy."
Five years. Five whole years! Even without wormhole technology, faster-than-light curvature navigation alone could have carried the fleet a full fifty thousand light-years!
Every time Lü Yongchang thought about it, he felt as though ants were crawling over his skin.
A few days earlier, he had made his decision.
After reaching the M87 galaxy, he would observe the structure of the quasar at its center to find an opportunity to advance to a level eight civilization.
And now...
Human Civilization was still being forced to remain at the edge of the Andromeda Galaxy!
Tormented by frustration, Lü Yongchang could only keep a close watch on the "activity" in the Andromeda Galaxy's Central Black Hole Region.
"This Gardener Faction..."
He muttered under his breath, "They're really dragging their feet..."
Wasn't it just a war?
Why not charge straight in and get it over with?
Did they really have to dawdle like this?
Just as he voiced that complaint, a red warning message popped up in the Holographic Projection.
[Warning!] [Abnormal spacetime fluctuations detected in the target region!]
The Andromeda Galaxy's Central Black Hole Region.
Alarms sounded throughout every facility of the Cleaners Andromeda Branch.
"It's the Gardener Faction!"
"The Parent Civilization's intelligence was right!"
