After the Saikol Civilization protected Human Civilization from the Gardener Faction, Lü Yongchang’s new quantum-state body and insight into higher dimensions accelerated humanity’s rise to level eight. The Human Fleet left M87 seeking a natural four-dimensional cavitation bubble, but anomalous spacetime fluctuations interrupted its research near the Boötes Void.

• The Cleaners’ attack on Andromeda ended in a quasar catastrophe, and Lü Yongchang led the Human Fleet through a wormhole to M87 as the war spread across the Laniakea Supercluster.
• When the Gardener Faction threatened Human Civilization inside the Neutral Faction’s safe zone, the Saikol Civilization declared war and called for help, bringing the Silicon-Based Alliance and other fleets into the battle.
• The Gardener Faction withdrew from the Virgo Supercluster, while [Membrane] ordered its members to find an opportunity to destroy Human Civilization.
• Lü Yongchang activated Suirenshi’s Zero-Point Furnace and used its surplus energy to fire a Dark Matter Cannon, then discovered that he could disperse into green points of light and re-form his body.
• Lü Yongchang used his new perception of higher-dimensional phenomena to connect the Technology Tree’s background to a cosmic microwave background map and propose the existence of an antiverse.
• Over the following century, Lü Yongchang’s insights helped humanity master four-dimensional leaps and shields and reach level eight, while Human Civilization’s first wormhole experiment transported a ship across a hundred thousand light-years.
• Lü Yongchang rebuilt the fleet with thousands of Starship Factories, then led the Human and Saikor fleets out of M87 toward the Boötes Void to seek a natural four-dimensional cavitation bubble.
• Near the Boötes Void, Lü Yongchang postponed another failed dimensional ascension experiment and reviewed the Universe Listening Plan before Zero reported anomalous spacetime fluctuations in the Q56DK Region.

Human Civilization explored a four-dimensional cavitation bubble, uncovered the Troy Civilization’s history, and developed dimensional weapons. After the Gardener Faction attacked, humanity captured Thread and Ant, defeated a four-dimensional being, and prepared for a larger war around the Boötes Void.

• Lü Yongchang sent probes into the cavitation bubble, where they discovered the Troy Civilization Transformation Center and its Hypercube records.
• Humanity ascended the [Earth] and fleet into four-dimensional space, decoded the Troy Civilization’s Core Plan, and escaped the bubble before it vanished.
• Thread and Ant found Human Civilization, but their approach triggered a battle in which the Human Fleet captured them and fled toward the Boötes Void.
• Membrane rallied the Gardener Faction to pursue humanity, while Su ordered fortresses moved to reinforce the Boötes Void.
• A four-dimensional being attacked the Human Fleet, but Lü Yongchang ordered the fleet to ascend and fight back in four dimensions.
• Lü Yongchang deployed [Van Gogh] with power from ten [Chiyou] Planetary Fortresses, and it reduced the four-dimensional being to two dimensions.
• Lü Yongchang saw Gardener Faction forces gathering around the Boötes Void, and the Tenth Empire mobilized allies and summoned the Fourth Supreme Conference.

Human Civilization rallied the Neutral Faction and the Tenth Empire against the Gardener Faction and the Cleaners, but a five-dimensional attack devastated the allied forces. As the Cleaners began their universe-spanning accelerator experiment and humanity rebuilt its fleet, Lü Yongchang revealed that he had sent [Nus] to infiltrate the accelerator nodes.

• The Tenth Empire returned its Imperial Homeworld to its people, joined Human Civilization as an eternal ally, and helped secure the Neutral Faction’s commitment to war.
• Lü Yongchang mobilized Human Civilization for battle and built the [Fuxi] Tachyon Computer, while the technology tree revealed new higher-dimensional technologies and a mysterious human-shaped figure.
• Human Civilization and its allies fought the Gardener Faction in the Boötes Void, surviving dimensional-reduction attacks and presenting evidence that the Gardener Faction descended from the Troy Civilization.
• Two-dimensional lifeforms infiltrated human ships and attacked the Central Computer, but Zero destroyed them before their warnings led the Gardener Faction and Cleaners to renew their assault.
• Lü Yongchang rallied the Human Fleet as the Neutral Faction and Tenth Empire joined the battle, and the conflict expanded across neighboring superclusters while humanity built a billion-ship fleet.
• Lü Yongchang turned to the Lost Insect Swarm for support as the Cleaners prepared their universe-spanning acceleration plan and Membrane left the universe bubble to launch a five-dimensional strike.
• Membrane’s attack devastated the Boötes Void and Shapley Supercluster, destroying most conventional human warships and crippling the Neutral Faction, while the Cleaners activated their accelerator and the Gardener Faction attacked its nodes.
• Humanity withdrew into the transformed Boötes Nebula and rebuilt its fleet to more than thirty billion ships, while Lü Yongchang revealed that he had ordered [Nus] to invade the Cleaners’ accelerator nodes.
