"What is the old gentleman's true purpose in cultivating humanity? I don't believe it's as simple as finding an assistant." Hu Yu couldn't help but point out Daozi's earlier words.
"Well, in short, you just need to focus on improving your own strength. The Insect Zone defenses are being breached frequently. I estimate that in a few tens of thousands of years, the Zerg swarm will reach a new critical point. Whether we can hold on then is still a question. Moreover, if the Great Star Region Civilization behind the Zerg swarm achieves its goals first, the situation will be even worse."
"Hehe, old sir, last time you said you'd analyze the spaceship for us, but you left before we finished. That's not very kind of you. How about you analyze it for us again? Also, why don't you just teach us that 'Great Shift of Heaven and Earth and Earth' move you used? The responsibility of saving the Milky Way will be entrusted to us." Wen Zhonghua said with a grin.
"I knew you'd come up with this scheme, but it's no use. My Azure Ox spaceship is indeed only at the Star System Level, and the technology I possess is limited to this level. The technologies I can use are beyond your reach, otherwise I would have given them to you long ago. Why would I need to go through all these troubles? Back then, I only knew that that broken four-dimensional space bubble contained dimensional technology, but you haven't improved and got nothing. Oh well, I don't blame you. Analyzing dimensional technology with Star-Level technology is indeed too difficult, and you're not geniuses."
"Since you're unwilling to teach us, bring the wine and drink your own. Hey you, get these dishes out of my sight. That old scoundrel, not a word of truth comes out of his mouth." Wen Zhonghua pretended to see the guest out.
"Hey, hey, hey, no, no, no, kid, what I just said is absolutely true. I really can't help you with technology. I'm human too, just evolved before you. How could I not help my descendants? I really don't have the ability. I spent a lot of money to get even this little bit of technology." Mr. Daozi snatched the wine bottle and tightly protected the several good dishes, not letting Wen Zhonghua take them away.
" Zhonghua, stop it. The old man has already helped us a lot; we can't repay kindness with ingratitude. Anyway, we'll be entering the Insect Zone soon. We can develop our technology slowly, and we'll unravel the secrets little by little on our own. The old man must have his reasons for not telling us; let's not make things difficult for him."
"Yes, yes, yes, you're the one who speaks the best. Kid, the alliance you've set up is really good. Strengthening the alliance in the future might play a big role. Also, don't rush into the Insect Zone. At the very least, you should always maintain more than a hundred billion warships in your own territory. Only the extra warships can be sent to the Insect Zone to assist in defense."
"That goes without saying, only a fool would send their entire fortune to the Insect Zone."
"Furthermore," Mr. Daozi ignored Wen Zhonghua's eye roll, "Do not enter the Alliance Space. It is a safe place for other civilizations, but not for you."
"Hey, sir, here, let me fill your cup. Tell me, what is the Alliance Space?"
"Are you a fickle fellow? Your face changes faster than flipping through a book. Don't try any tricks in front of me. Here, bring me the fattest chicken leg. The Alliance Space is a space jointly created by five Great Star Region Civilization. This space is not in the three-dimensional universe; it's like an enlarged four-dimensional space bubble, pulling three-dimensional space into the fourth dimension. Besides the Great Star Region Civilization, some advanced or intermediate Small Star Sector Civilization also have bases inside."
"I see. That's indeed a good idea. We should get one too, so we won't have any worries later."
"It's easy to think. Do you know how much energy it takes to go from three dimensions to four? If the Great Star Region Civilization hadn't mastered some dimensional technology, they wouldn't have been able to create such a large Alliance Space. The internal diameter of the Alliance Space exceeds 500 light-years, and the external diameter is also one light-year."
"My God, it's so big!!!"
"How could it be considered insignificant if it could provide space for dozens of advanced civilizations to survive and develop? The Alliance Space is not only about security, but also has a more important function: time."
"Sir, could it be that the flow of time in the Alliance Space is different from that in the vast universe?!" Academician Zeng exclaimed in surprise.
"Indeed, as far as I know, the flow of time within the Alliance Space is indeed faster than in the wider universe, but I'm not sure exactly how much faster. Without the Alliance Space, the possibility of fighting the Insect Race would be even lower."
"I never imagined such a magical place actually existed! Could it be that the Great Star Region Civilization has already mastered time? Our understanding of time is still almost zero," Academician Zeng sighed deeply.
"Young man, you're overthinking it. Time is far more profound than dimensions. These major Great Star Region Civilization haven't even fully mastered dimensional technology, so how could they possibly control time? The Alliance Space only achieved its time acceleration effect by utilizing some unique aspects of the universe."
"Sir, why can other civilizations enter such a wonderful place, but we can't?"
"How can you be so stupid? Don't you understand? Didn't Heavenly Peak Civilization say that we are special? Right now, outside, they are somewhat wary of my strength and dare not act recklessly. But once we enter the Alliance Space, it will be difficult for me to take care of you. If the mastermind behind this attacks you, can you stop them? Besides, even outside, I can't watch over you every moment."
" Fish Horse Star Civilization also within the Alliance Space?"
"Some civilizations have moved their entire population into the Alliance Space Alliance Space, while others have only sent their research teams. The Fish Horse Star Civilization of the latter. However, the Alliance Space isn't a place you can just enter at will. You must make a certain contribution to the galaxy to enter. The greater the contribution, the more people can enter the Alliance. With the time advantage, the Alliance Space is actually a pretty good place."
"By the way, sir, do you have any news about Minister Luo? We agreed to meet once every 5,000 years, but he has missed the meeting twice in a row. We are very worried about his safety."
"Oh, they're fine, don't worry. But I don't know why they didn't keep their appointment. You've all grown up, and I've become lazy. Unless it's something important, I don't bother with it. Interfering too much won't do you any good."
"We also have another team; have you seen them, sir?"
"I saw them, but that was ten thousand years ago. However, I lost all trace of them afterward. I tried to find them, but I never succeeded. They were either quietly devoured by other civilizations, or they are no longer in this galaxy or this dimension."
"What?! The leader is missing?"
Upon hearing this news, everyone suddenly felt tense. There was no need for Mr. Daozi to hide this matter, nor was there any need for him to lie.
The leader's journey to the edge of the galaxy was theoretically the least dangerous. However, it was still more than 20,000 light-years away from the edge, and the long journey would still be fraught with danger. Ten thousand years ago, the leader was probably still at the Star-Level level, and such a weak force could not withstand any storms.
People still don't believe that their leader will be eaten by other civilizations. With the leader's outstanding leadership and Dean Xu Xiaodong's unparalleled wisdom, as long as their luck isn't extremely bad, they should be able to survive. What everyone is most worried about is the possibility of something going wrong, after all, the galaxy is too big and anything can happen.
"You don't need to worry too much. When I met them, they had already reached the Star System-Level Civilization stage."
