" The Far Watcher Civilization "?
"Yes, we immediately tried to contact the Great Star Region Civilization Great Star Region Civilization the attack, but they never responded. I immediately suspected that the Far Watcher Civilization might have been acting on orders from the Great Star Region Civilization. We made huge sacrifices for the galaxy, only to be plundered and slaughtered by our allies. So we launched a great war against the Far Watcher Civilization."
"Unfortunately, although our Tree Race is powerful, our numbers have never been large enough. Facing the Far Watcher Civilization's trillions of warships, we suffered a crushing defeat. Countless clansmen and elders were captured. Although the elders can self-destruct, some were killed before they could, and the others obtained their bodies."
"After the fierce battle, the Far Watcher Civilization lost over ten billion warships, while we had less than one hundred million elders left. If we continued fighting, we would be wiped out. So we suppressed our hatred and expended countless amounts of energy to escape the Far Watcher Civilization's pursuit."
"We were disheartened and stopped dealing with the Insect Race, hiding away on the edge of the galaxy, where we have remained for over two million years."
" The Tree Race has indeed suffered unfair treatment. Your actions deserve the respect of all civilizations. Regardless of the reason, the Far Watcher Civilization should not have attacked you, and the Great Star Region Civilization cannot remain indifferent."
" The Far Watcher Civilization thought they could analyze something by obtaining the bodies of our people, but they were just wasting their time. This space can only exist with the bodies of our Tree Race. Once separated from our bodies, it will immediately merge with the larger universe. They will not be able to obtain the technology they want. I am certain that the Great Star Region Civilization knows about the Far Watcher Civilization's actions against us, and they may even be the masterminds behind it."
"If the Great Star Region Civilization weren't selfish, they could easily share some of their technology instead of letting these civilizations develop on their own and acquire power to help them fight the Insect Race. General, you will soon be entering the Small Star Sector Civilization. Once you reach the intermediate stage, you will soon be called to the battlefield by the Great Star Region Civilization. I remind you, you must fight the Insect Race while preserving your own strength. Although what I'm saying may be somewhat inaccurate, this is the reality."
"Thank you for the reminder, Chieftain. We've sensed that the Great Star Region Civilization isn't solely focused on fighting the Insect Race; they have their own plans."
"That's right, we must be careful of them. They are not saints; in some ways, they are even inferior to our Tree Race. After all, our Tree Race could have completely ignored the affairs of the Insect Race."
"Chieftain, I have a question. We were also hunted down by a Small Star Sector Civilization. Fortunately, the prince risked his life to save us, allowing us to escape. That Small Star Sector Civilization seemed afraid that we would tell the Great Star Region Civilization about the destruction of a lower-level civilization. This shows that the Great Star Region Civilization still has some sense of justice, right?"
"Yes, lower-level civilizations are their reserve force. Under normal circumstances, they will still intervene, and they also need to establish their authority. The fact that we are being hunted down while the Great Star Region Civilization are not intervening suggests that the actions of the Far Watcher Civilization may have gained the approval of several Great Star Region Civilization. General, I have a favor to ask."
"Chieftain, please speak. The Tree Race has selflessly helped our people. If there is anything we can do to help, we will certainly do so."
"Over the years, we have harbored Far Watcher Civilization, but our strength is now far inferior to Far-Seers. I hope the general can lend a hand and rescue our people. I know this is abrupt and unrealistic, and I hope you can understand."
"This..." Hu Yu really wanted to slap himself a few times. He had spoken too confidently from the start. "Clan leader, it's not that we're unwilling to help, but we haven't even entered the Small Star Sector Civilization yet. Our warships number only two hundred million. How could we possibly devour the Far Watcher Civilization? Besides, so many years have passed, how do you know your people are still alive?"
"General, this is indeed very difficult. The Far-Seers fleet exceeds a hundred billion, and even if they are currently fighting the Insect Race, they should be able to maintain that number within their territory. As for our people, I am certain they are still alive. Years ago, we secretly found the territory of the Far Watcher Civilization and sensed our people. Even now, there is still one of our elders hiding in a planetary system near the Far Watcher Civilization, just to sense information about our people."
"Hundreds of billions! And that's just within the territory!"
"Yes, the total number of fleets of the Far Watcher Civilization may exceed one trillion. However, the Far Watcher Civilization is a very special civilization that can support such a large fleet. The general may be interested in hearing about it."
"Oh, really? Please speak, Chieftain."
" The Far Watcher Civilization are a unique civilization; their fleet is their people."
"What? Their machines have developed intelligence and consciousness?"
"No, no. Machines and the various computing devices manufactured by your civilized species cannot generate consciousness. Regular movement cannot generate consciousness; only irregular movement can generate consciousness."
"Patriarch, what is meant by 'having rules' and 'not having rules'?" Academician Xiao asked.
"In short, the consciousness of all living beings arises unintentionally, as a random combination of matter. All civilized creations, however, should follow various physical or mathematical rules, which are too rigid, making it impossible for them to develop consciousness."
"What about the 'Far Watcher Civilization?"
" The Far Watcher Civilization also has biomes, but all adult organisms are integrated through biotechnology and machines; or rather, their brains are the computing centers, and wherever they are moved, that becomes their body."
"What are the benefits of doing this? We humans tried combining the brain and machines a long time ago, but we quickly abandoned this approach. We don't want to become half-human, half-machine monsters."
"Each civilization has a different philosophy. Most civilizations disdain changing their physical appearance, but there are always civilizations that abandon their bodies for the sake of power or other reasons. The Far Watcher Civilization are one of them. They use biotechnology to transplant brains into machines, which not only gives them creativity but also amazing computing power and knowledge reserves. A single member of their race can develop an entire fleet."
" Academician Xiao, isn't this exactly what the Snow Star Civilization looks like? The Snow Tribe possesses extraordinary computing power, which is why they were able to unify the Milky Way."
"I'm not so sure. If this Far Watcher Civilization is really like the Snow Tribe, then it probably wouldn't be Small Star Sector Civilization."
"General, what Snow Race Civilization? They've unified the Milky Way?"
"Oh, just a legend, Chieftain. What's the current strength of this Far Watcher Civilization? They must be developing very rapidly."
"Without this biotechnology, the Far Watcher Civilization wouldn't even be at the level of Small Star Region. In truth, the Far Watcher Civilization is a civilization lacking in creativity; they know they're not very intelligent, so their technological development has always leaned towards biotechnology, hoping to make themselves smarter. They didn't succeed, but they did develop a method combining biology and mechanics. Even now, they're still at the mid-level of Small Star Region. If it weren't for our numerical advantage, we wouldn't be afraid of them at all. It's just a pity that our Tree Race has always struggled to break through in numbers, which is why we've fallen to this state. In terms of individual warship strength, their strength is at the bottom among all mid-level Small Star Sector Civilization."
