"Based on the battles over the years, I've discovered something. The Sextans civilization has long suffered under the Sextans. General, look at the warships lost over the years; almost all of them belong to the other three Great Star Region Civilization. Apart from the ones we destroyed at the beginning, the Giant General Civilization's fleet was later entirely composed of Great Star Region Civilization. And this time, to lure us into attacking, countless civilizations were directly turned into their pawns."

"You want to sow discord among the Sextans? Although there are contradictions within Sextans, we are, after all, outsiders, and they may not necessarily cooperate with us."

"Civilizations are all selfish. As long as we show sincerity, it's not necessarily impossible. Then we won't be outsiders anymore, but collaborators assisting the three Great Star Region Civilization liberating Sextans. In that case, we won't be targeted by the rules."

"Let's try it. Our fleet size is very limited now, two-dimensionalization is unusable, and we can't take down the Giant General Civilization."

"This is just the first step; next, we need to find two more helpers."

" General Li, we've lost contact with the base. It will take hundreds of years to travel back and forth."

"No, no, no, we won't go to the Milky Way to find help; we'll go to Sextans B and NGC 3109."

"We're in an unfamiliar place, who would be willing to help us?"

"I have a brilliant plan, haha, Academician Qin Yin, just you wait and see."

Three small spaceships detached from the fleet and entered the fourth dimension, heading towards the center of Sextans. Sextans is a unified star system, unlike the Milky Way where civilizations are randomly distributed. The distribution of civilizations in Sextans is very orderly, with advanced civilizations inside and low-level civilizations outside. Only when a low-level civilization develops into an advanced civilization is it qualified to enter the interior.

All civilizations are confined to the areas designated by the Giant General Civilization Giant General Civilization. While this appears to maintain peace within the galaxy, it actually reduces friction between civilizations, significantly decreasing the chances of an advanced civilization emerging and thus ensuring the Sextans Civilization's dominance.

The Firmament Civilization, one of the three Great Star Region Civilization, has only recently entered the Large Star Region Intermediate Stage. This battle against the outsiders has caused the Firmament Civilization Civilization's leaders great distress. The 40 trillion warships they had painstakingly accumulated have now dwindled to just over 8 trillion. Under the pressure from the Giant General Civilization, they cannot afford not to take action.

The technology of the outsiders was all swallowed up by the Giant General Civilization. The Giant General Civilization didn't even make an empty promise. The Firmament Civilization also knew that, given the Giant General Civilization's temperament, they would never share their technology with them, not even a tiny bit. They had finally grown up under the oppression of the Giant General Civilization. If the Giant General Civilization hadn't known their own weakness and hadn't enjoyed their superior attitude, these lower-level civilizations would probably never have had a chance to rise to prominence.

A small spaceship appeared unnoticed in the territory of the Firmament Civilization, hidden within the flames of a star. Hu Yu knew that the Giant General Civilization must have secretly deployed a large number of monitoring devices in the territories of these civilizations to monitor the development of the entire Sextans civilization.

The small spaceship waited patiently until an ordinary engineering spaceship from a Firmament Civilization passed by the star. The small spaceship then quietly launched a palm-sized robot that flew closely alongside the engineering spaceship, while simultaneously transmitting a signal to the engineering spaceship's commander through direct contact.

The commander was extremely surprised, but quickly regained his composure. As the engineering ship returned, the commander quietly opened the hatch a crack, and the small spaceship darted into the massive engineering ship. A humanoid robot emerged from the small spaceship. This technology had been used during the time of the Wind Star Civilization and was already quite mature.

After several secret transfers, the robot was brought before the leader of the Firmament Civilization. Through the robot's perspective, everyone saw a very decadent creature.

"Azure Sky Leader, I am the Civilization Liaison Officer. We are the Human Civilization from the Milky Way."

" The Milky Way? Indeed, only a galaxy as large as the Milky Way could give birth to a civilization like yours. Liaison Officer, I know why you've come, but we lack the strength to resist the Giant General Civilization. Besides, who knows if we've driven away one wolf only to welcome a tiger?"

"Sir, we come in peace. The civilizations of the Milky Way are not creatures that delight in killing. The Snow Star Civilization has resided in the Sextans for billions of years; have we ever slaughtered your Sextans civilization? Even if our Human Civilization destroys the Sextans, have we ever slaughtered a lesser civilization?"

"Not at the moment."

"We only want to take what originally belonged to us, not to be enemies with this civilization. If possible, I would prefer that we become friends. Celestial Leader, you should take the opportunity to visit the Milky Way. In our galaxy, advanced civilizations cannot interfere with or hinder the progress of lower civilizations. Advanced civilizations also live in harmony with each other and are very united. If it weren't for dealing with a powerful civilization from another star system, we wouldn't even have needed to come to Sextans to take away the technology that originally belonged to the Snow Star Civilization."

"And a powerful civilization that's causing trouble for the entire Milky Way?"

"Of course. It's not that the larger the galaxy, the stronger it is. It's just a matter of probability. If Sextans hadn't been oppressed by the Giant General Civilization, you might have already far surpassed your current level of development. Do you think what I'm saying makes sense? I've learned a bit about it. Your Firmament Civilization grew into Great Star Region Civilization in a million years, and that was under the oppression of the Giant General Civilization. Even in our Milky Way, that kind of potential is top-tier."

"That's true. Our Firmament Civilization beings are far more intelligent than the Giant General Civilization beings. The Giant General Civilization only had the advantage of time."

"To make a long story short, Sky Chief, we need your help. You are familiar with the Giant General Civilization, so find a way to locate their base coordinates. Leave the rest to us. In return, the Giant General Civilization will share its entire technology tree with you. What do you think of this deal?"

It seems I have no reason to object.

"Sir, whether you object or not will not affect the fate of the Giant General Civilization. We will only need to spend a few hundred more years mobilizing our fleet from the Milky Way. By then, when trillions of troops from the Milky Way arrive, the fate of Sextans A will probably be beyond our control."

"Okay, I agree. The only condition is that I help you find the coordinates of the Giant General Civilization, right?"
