Hu Yu didn't bother with it. Even if it was a civilization that Hu Yu was responsible for cultivating, it wasn't subordinate to humanity. They had their own freedom, and Hu Yu couldn't control them. As long as they didn't cause trouble, he would let them be.
Two hundred years after the defense line was established, a Heavenly Peak Civilization warship appeared near Earth, and the Erguan descended once again.
"General Hu Yu, on behalf of the Great Star Region Advanced Civilization of the Galactic Alliance, I invite you to enter the Alliance Space."
" Alliance Space, what are you doing?"
"That's certainly a good thing."
Hu Yu pondered for a moment, then boarded the Heavenly Peak Civilization warship. After the warship had been traveling in the fourth dimension for a while, the area ahead suddenly became blurred. The warship passed through it and entered a three-dimensional space. Stars twinkled ahead, and planets were densely packed like a string of beads. Warships were neatly parked, and engineering spaceships shuttled back and forth, creating a busy and prosperous scene.
"Is this the Alliance Space?"
"Yes, this place is home to Great Star Region Advanced Civilization and dozens of Small Star Sector Civilization. Due to the time advantage here, we are able to build more warships to fight the Zerg swarm."
"Which airspace is the Alliance Space in? How come I've never discovered it before?"
" The Alliance Space is not in the Milky Way."
"Not in the Milky Way?"
"Yes, we're currently about a million light-years from the Milky Way, in the opposite direction from the Andromeda Galaxy. But who knows, we might move it again someday. This is a broken black hole. We speculate that this black hole was originally the owner of a galaxy, but it lost in a war with the Milky Way's black hole. The black hole itself became part of the Milky Way's black hole, but the space within the black hole was unexpectedly preserved. Of course, if this is true, it must have happened at least tens of billions of years ago."
"I see."
"This is just one possibility. The formation of galaxies was quite chaotic at the beginning. Little Black merged into large black holes, and large black holes became giant black holes. We speculate that the space inside this black hole was preserved due to the flow of time, or perhaps something else happened during the merging of black holes. All of this is now impossible to verify."
Hu Yu knew that normal space existed inside black holes. Luo Zhigao had accidentally entered the space inside a black hole, causing a timeline deviation, and he hadn't returned yet. If two black holes collided, the spaces inside the black holes might not merge due to their different timelines, or, as Erguan said, other things might have happened during the merging process, causing a deviation in their merging.
"We've established a stable space tunnel here, so the round trip is very short. Now, come with me to the planet of the Yun San Civilization; all five leaders are waiting for you."
"Wait for me? Wait for me for what?"
"You'll see when we get there, haha." Erguan's chubby face trembled, revealing a happy expression.
Soon, the Tian Feng warship stopped on a planet with an extremely beautiful environment. Hu Yu boarded a shuttle and landed on the ground. Guided by a robot, Hu Yu arrived at a building with a simple yet grand decoration. Five creatures with very different appearances were already sitting around inside.
Hu Yu knew that these five beings were the leaders of five Great Star Region Advanced Civilization, including the Demon Scorpion Civilization, which had exchanged insults with Hu Yu, and the Dark Moon Civilization or Rock Star Civilization, which had secretly arranged for Small Star Sector Civilization to attack the Star Ring Alliance. The Demon Scorpion Civilization might have also been involved, but Hu Yu could only choose to forget about this mess; there was no point in bringing it up now.
Aside from the short, stout creature, Hu Yu Hu Yu seeing all the other civilized beings for the first time. Which of these beings was the mastermind behind the Fish Horse Star Civilization? Hu Yu observed them discreetly, though such observation would be futile.
Seeing Hu Yu's puzzled expression, the short, stout Heavenly Peak Civilization said with a grin, "Come on, General Hu Yu, take a guess. Don't say anything, I don't need to guess; you already know on the way here."
"Alright." Hu Yu had seen his share of grand occasions, and although these five civilized beings stood at the top of the galaxy, Hu Yu was not at all restrained.
"The leader of the Demon Scorpion Civilization," Hu Yu said, pointing to a creature with a long, lizard-like tail, two legs, six arms, and a height of three meters, whose appearance resembled a terrifying lizardman.
"Wrong," said the creature that Hu Yu had singled out.
"I'm not mistaken. I see unruliness, sharpness, and arrogance in you—this is precisely the character of the Demon Scorpion Civilization."
"Hmm, not bad, Demon Scorpion, stop causing trouble, General Hu Yu, please continue," said the short, stout man.
"The leader of the Yun San Civilization." Hu Yu pointed to another creature and said. This creature was very ordinary, a little over a meter tall. From behind, it looked somewhat human, except for some differences in facial structure and a pair of bull-horn-like things on its head.
Why am I Yun San Civilization?
"Because of the quiet, peaceful, and dignified atmosphere, as if everything is under control, that's the impression I've had of you, Head of State, over the years."
"You guessed right, there are two more. General Hu Yu, you've never dealt with them before, let's see if you can guess who they are?" the leader of the Yun San Civilization said with a smile.
"This is the leader of the Dark Moon Civilization." Hu Yu pointed to a creature with huge butterfly-like wings on its back, whose body was smaller than its wings. Its entire body resembled a creature from the Crystal Civilization, like a round, multi-tentacle jellyfish.
"What's the explanation? General Hu Yu, you've never even met him, how do you know? Did you just guess?" the leader of Heavenly Peak Civilization asked.
"Although I have never had any dealings with the Dark Moon Civilization Dark Moon Civilization, I have seen their warships."
"The warships are all unmanned."
"Yes, but the Dark Moon Civilization's warships are the most beautiful warships from our human aesthetic perspective. I think the beings who could build such beautiful warships must also conform to human aesthetic standards. As for the remaining two, this one undoubtedly conforms more to our human aesthetic standards. Leader of the Rock Star Civilization, I meant no offense, please forgive me."
"Haha, General Hu Yu is indeed amazing. Don't worry, every civilization has different aesthetic standards. None of you are beautiful in my eyes, hahahaha." A square creature with an unusually large head, but whose body was covered with hard shells, and which had four arms and two legs, said.
"Alright, let's get back to the main topic. General Hu Yu, the reason I've invited you here is to inform you that your Human Civilization has made a tremendous contribution this time. Although your strength is still somewhat lacking, you are qualified to join the core of the Galactic Alliance and participate in important decisions that will determine the future of the galaxy. I hope you will not refuse; this is both an honor and a responsibility," said the leader of the Yun San Civilization.
"Yes, we humans will certainly shoulder our responsibilities, but the insects still exist, like a time bomb that could explode at any moment. Isn't there any way to completely eradicate the insect swarm?"
