"Mr. Fengye, if they are coming for us, they should know our strength. Now we are barely close to the intermediate stage of the small star sector. Even if all these stars explode, they will not have any impact on us. Since they can't cause harm to us, why are they doing such useless efforts?" Dicha asked doubtfully.

" Bi Cha, have you forgotten what humans did to us 20,000 years ago?"

"Humans!! Of course we won't forget, but these fleets before us are clearly not human, and humanity has already achieved its goals. In recent years, they must have already entered the Small Star Sector Civilization. How could they possibly attack us again?"

"That's not what I meant. I meant the spatial vortexes created by humans!" Feng Ye said gravely.

" Feng Ye, are you saying that these stars will also create a spatial vortex, trapping our Xuan Star Civilization in it again, and then these warships will take the opportunity to attack us?"

"The leader, that's certainly a possibility."

I need a definite answer!

"Chief, I'm still not entirely clear on the specific data regarding the formation of the vortex. I've tried analyzing spatial vortexes in my spare time over the years, but compared to Lord Feng Long, I'm far behind, and I haven't made much progress so far."

"Sir, Mr. Feng Ye will draw a conclusion after our patrol fleet has observed the specific data."

"Be quick and accurate. I absolutely will not allow the Xuan Star Civilization to suffer another calamity. Moreover, the Xuan Star Civilization is not a pushover that anyone can bully. Bi Cha, once contact is made, issue a stern warning and order them to leave immediately, or they will suffer a devastating blow from the Xuan Star Civilization."

"Yes, Chief."

On the other side of the starry sky, 12 billion Star System Level warships continue to carry thousands of stars forward.

"Leaders, the Xuan Star Civilization fleet has been mobilized. Your fleets must immediately disengage from the battlefield." In the joint operations room, Wen Zhonghua released the latest information on the Xuan Star Civilization.

"Chief of the General Staff, we can move it a little further," said the leader of the Brilliant Star Civilization.

"There's no need anymore. These stars are enough to cause spatial anomalies. The Xuan Star Civilization's warships are fast; you need to give yourselves enough time to escape. This isn't the battlefield; the Mu Star Civilization's place is."

"Okay, I'll follow the Chief of the General Staff's instructions."

The combined fleets of the six civilizations immediately broke away from the star cluster, detonated the stars one by one, and then dispersed in different directions without any pause. Once things were over here, they immediately launched an attack on the Mu Star Civilization.

The rest of the time is spent waiting. The explosion of a thousand stars has caused a huge sensation and may attract the attention of other civilizations. However, the Xuan Star Civilization has already joined the Galaxy Alliance, so other advanced civilizations will not attack the Xuan Star Civilization.

The patrol fleet of the Xuan Star Civilization had just arrived here when it was immediately thrown into a whirlwind by the spatial current and lost control. The patrol captain, who had finally managed to break free from the spatial current, immediately reported to Bi Cha.

"Sir, something terrible has happened! They've detonated all the stars, creating a powerful spatial current here. Our warships are like leaves in a storm within that current."

"What!!!" Upon receiving this news, the three leaders, Bi Cha Feng Ye, were all stunned.

" Feng Ye, what exactly happened!" The leader was already somewhat displeased.

Although Feng Ye was also an excellent scientist—otherwise he wouldn't have become the new chief scientist of the Xuan Star Civilization —he lacked the composure and confidence of Feng Long. Seeing the leader so stern and displeased for the first time, Feng Ye said tremblingly, "Leader, it must be the space vortex. Other civilizations have either seen humanity or obtained this technology from us, and now they're turning to attack us."

"Mr. Feng Ye, don't panic. Last time, humans created a spatial vortex by using this technique within our territory. Now they're detonating a star over a thousand light-years away. It's hard to say whether they can achieve the same effect as humans."

" Bi Cha, last time humans released energy into our territory equivalent to the energy contained in about 20 medium-mass stars. This time, although they are farther away, the number of stars is 50 times greater. Once a spatial vortex forms, we won't even have time to react. The enemy has already displayed 12 billion warships. Last time, when humans attacked us, they only had a few hundred million warships, yet they still inflicted a crushing defeat on our fleet, which was several times larger than theirs. If they come again this time, we will suffer countless losses."

" Feng Ye, based on your calculations, what should we do now?"

"Chief, regardless of whether a spatial vortex will form, we must prepare in advance. The successive explosions of stars are constantly giving space enormous acceleration. The speed of space movement has now exceeded that of our fleet, and our reaction time is extremely limited. In at most two months, the spatial changes will affect us. Therefore, we must act now. I suggest that all planets be moved from their current locations immediately, and all civilians be moved into the warships. We will wait for the crisis to pass before returning to the planets."

"What do you think, Bi Cha?"

"Sir, Mr. Feng Ye's opinion is perfectly reasonable. Even without the formation of the spatial vortex, we wouldn't suffer much loss, at most a few months. Territory isn't particularly important to us; we can easily relocate to another place to develop whenever we wish. Only when you and the people are absolutely safe will we have no worries."

"Alright, as you wish. Arrange for all citizens to board the ships immediately, and this must be completed within two months. Once the citizens have boarded, immediately move all the planets to other locations."

Within the territory of the Xuan Star Civilization, countless warships and various spaceships began to move like locusts. They descended on various planets, evacuating the people into the warships. Like the Reaper, the Xuan Star Civilization's warships also had huge living spaces reserved inside, precisely to prepare for such emergencies.

" Old Hu, Academician, a large-scale fleet mobilization has occurred within the territory of the Xuan Star Civilization."

"It seems the Xuan Star Civilization has been alerted."

"They must be moving people away; our chance has come."

"Academician, is it really possible to form a super-large space vortex?" Hu Yu asked.

"Impossible. Stellar explosions and energy sphere impacts are different. The viscosity of matter and space is far less than that of energy and space. Even if twice as many stars exploded, it would be impossible to form a space vortex."

Space viscosity?

"This is a topic I researched before. When a sphere of matter moves through space, space is divided. The tendency of the sphere to move is very small. However, when an energy sphere of the same volume moves through space, the tendency of space to move is much larger. Or you can understand it as spatial resistance. The resistance of space to matter is much smaller than the resistance to energy. So when energy moves at high speed, it will cause space to move along with it."
