" The Sextans is 4 million light-years away from the Milky Way. Even traveling from the fourth dimension, it's a considerable distance, and it would take at least two hundred years to reach it."
"It's going to take this long?"
"Yes, the space around the Milky Way is isolated from the space around other galaxies in the fourth dimension, with Land of Lost millions of light-years away. To traverse this distance, one can only move within the three-dimensional universe."
"How so?"
"I'm not sure about that. When we found out, it was already like this. But it's a good thing, otherwise the Andromeda Civilization could have silently swept through the Milky Way at any time. It's because of this lost space that we have a certain warning time when the Andromeda Civilization comes. However, you can still extract energy from there, as long as you don't go inside."
"Thank you for informing me, Chief Yun San."
"General Hu Yu, General Hu Yu!" Bi Cha ran over.
"General Bi Cha, what's wrong? Not going fishing with your leader?"
"Alas, General, the leader heard that you are going on an expedition to Sextans and specifically asked me to send a fleet over. Although our fleet is not large, it can still be of some help. Information about Sextans is unclear, so having more warships is always good. Control of these one trillion Dreadnought is now entirely entrusted to you, General."
"Alright, I won't stand on ceremony. General Bi Cha, time is of the essence, I'll thank you in person when I return. Chief Yun San, I'll leave things here to you."
"General Hu Yu, please rest assured."
Eight trillion Conqueror, one trillion Dreadnought, and nine trillion warships assembled in the starry sky and, under Hu Yu's personal leadership, sailed majestically toward the distant Sextans.
The Sextans that Yan Xue went to is actually Sextans A, an irregular dwarf galaxy 4 million light-years from Earth, with a diameter of only 5,000 light-years, much smaller than the Milky Way.
Four million light-years away, seemingly at the other end of the distant universe, if observed with the naked eye in the undisturbed outer space of the Milky Way, one could only see a small, flickering dot—that was the light emitted by the Sextans four million years ago.
Hu Yu, along with Li Zhixiong and Academician Qin Yin, had been traveling day and night to Sextans. Originally, Hu Yu wanted Academician Zeng to come, but Academician Zeng was unable to leave. Therefore, the scientific and technological team led by Academician Qin Yin replaced Academician Zeng. For operations in remote areas, a scientific and technological team was necessary to assist the fleet and provide the necessary scientific and technological support.
Academician Qin Yin is also a top academician of the fleet, and a beautiful and versatile female academician. Her scientific literacy is in no way inferior to that of Academician Zeng and others. Academician Qin Yin is in full charge of the fleet's weapons. Hu Yu is a traditional person. Qin Yin has never had the opportunity to go out on a mission with Hu Yu. Going out on a mission is relatively dangerous. Hu Yu's deep-rooted traditional male chauvinism always comes to the fore, and he can't bear to see women suffer.
"General, we are about to enter the Lost Zone. We need to prepare to enter the three-dimensional universe," Academician Qin Yin reminded us.
"Okay, let's do it."
Ahead lies the Lost Zone, a million light-years away, from which travel is impossible in the fourth dimension. The only option is to rely on a conventional power engine to traverse this vast distance at 8,000 times the speed of light.
" Yan Xue, hang in there!" Hu Yu thought to himself with a hint of hope.
After 125 years, the Conqueror Fleet finally passed through the Lost Zone and re-entered the Fourth Dimension, speeding towards Sextans. At this Sextans Sextans.
A trillion giant ships of different shapes are chasing a fleet of less than a hundred billion ships. The one being hunted is the Snow Tribe fleet led by Yan Xue. The other warships are from Great Star Region Advanced Civilization of Sextans A and three low-level civilizations in the Large Star Region. In addition, some Small Star Sector Civilization have also joined the encirclement.
Yan Xue's fleet was extremely fast, but its attack power was insufficient. Yan Xue led the fleet to break through the encirclement of the four Great Star Region Civilization, and also destroyed some warships of the Small Star Sector Civilization in the process, before finding a place to hide.
However, the enemy fleet was simply too large, and the Sextans was extremely small. Yan Xue was repeatedly found and forced to flee. Originally, Yan Xue's fleet could have escaped the Sextans at its speed, but Yan Xue seemed to have something she couldn't let go of, and she continued to entangle herself with the native civilization inside the Sextans.
The enemy was clearly experienced in combat. What appeared to be a routine pursuit was in fact an invisible encirclement that had been formed, and Yan Xue, the young clan leader with no combat experience, had unknowingly been surrounded.
As time went by, the encirclement of the native civilization shrank smaller and smaller, and Yan Xue was surrounded. Faced with the enemy's relentless advance, Yan Xue had given up on escaping and quietly waited for the enemy to slowly surround her. However, the native civilization still seemed to be somewhat wary of Yan Xue, and now that Yan Xue was not moving, they did not dare to get too close.
" Giant General Civilization, don't push me!" Yan Xue, who was surrounded, shouted angrily.
The Giant General Civilization is the Great Star Region Advanced Civilization that led the encirclement of the Yan Xue Fleet. It is also the top civilization in the entire Sextans. The King of Sextans is quite prosperous, having Great Star Region Advanced Civilization and three intermediate and early-stage civilizations in such a dwarf star system.
" Snow Star Civilization, outsiders. You came here billions of years ago, when we were still just Stellar-Level Civilization."
"We have been here, but we only occupied a very small area and never killed any civilized creature here."
"Enough with the nonsense, Snow Star Civilization. Hand over the password, or this will be your graveyard."
"Don't even think about it. You are not qualified to possess anything from my Snow Star Civilization."
"Kill!"
With a command from the Giant General Civilization, all the warships unleashed their fury simultaneously, causing dimensions to plummet, space to shatter, and matter and antimatter to annihilate, instantly charging towards the Yan Xue Fleet within the encirclement.
Yan Xue's fleet had assembled tightly, each warship releasing powerful energy. This energy collided with the surging attacks, shattering space once again and forming a ring of spatial rifts. Yan Xue, with billions against trillions, actually managed to hold them off. The native civilization continued its attacks, but no matter how they attacked, they could not reach Yan Xue's fleet.
Not only were three-dimensional attacks ineffective, but Yan Xue seemed to have sealed off the fourth dimension from the third dimension, preventing the native civilization's fleet from directly descending into the middle of Yan Xue's fleet to launch an attack.
"Don't stop. They've blocked the fourth dimension and can't replenish their energy. We'll win as soon as we deplete their energy." The Giant General Civilization immediately saw Yan Xue's weakness.
"Chief, we can't hold out much longer," said another Rabbit beside Yan Xue.
" Chen Xue, are you scared?"
"Don't be afraid. Following the clan leader, I see hope."
"Hang in there, hang in there for as long as you can. If you run out of energy, dismantle the fleet."
"Chieftain, is there any point in insisting on this?"
" Chen Xue, do you know why I won't leave? It's not just because the Giant General Civilization has our technology, but also the remains of countless of our ancestors."
