The Command Center aboard [Earth].
Watching the Starry Sky Giant Painting in the holographic projection gradually dissolve into elementary particles, Zhao Zijie let out a small sigh of relief.
"It's finally over..."
The academicians and commanders reacted much the same way.
This war against the four-dimensional beings had been Human Civilization's toughest battle since advancing to a level six civilization.
Without the contributions of [Thread] and [Ant], Human Civilization probably would have had no real way to deal with these higher-dimensional beings.
Conventional weapons alone could hardly kill them for good.
The successful operation of [Van Gogh] meant that Human Civilization's strength had climbed another rung.
Human Civilization now possessed the beginnings of the strength needed to take on the Gardener Faction!
"Yongchang, the rendezvous point is just ahead."
Fang Xu raised a hand to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead, visibly relieved. "The Tenth Empire is less than ten million light-years away from us."
"The Gardener Faction should..."
Before Fang Xu could finish, a holographic projection with a blood-red background automatically appeared at the front of the Command Center.
At the same time, a piercing alarm sounded.
It was an enormous 3D star map.
Most of the star map was dark, with only a handful of regions shining brightly.
Those bright areas were the star regions successfully covered by the universe listening plan!
Countless scattered red dots lay among them.
Each red dot represented an anomalous spacetime fluctuation-and a dimensional being from the Gardener Faction.
Ever since [Thread] and [Ant] had caught up with them, these red dots had begun converging on the vicinity of the Boötes Void at varying speeds. Their objective was obvious: intercept Human Civilization before it entered the Boötes Void.
What? Why intercept it?
The Boötes Void was far too vast, and the resources
