The Firefly Civilization seemed to have also discovered the special nature of the silver planet, and all its fleets began to advance towards it with full force. Moreover, they also discovered the Conqueror ' objective and began attacking the Conqueror and the Dreadnought. Faced with the ferocious Firefly Civilization fleet, plus the Aurora Civilization constantly adding insult to injury, the Conqueror had no choice but to change course and temporarily avoid the brunt of the attack.

The fleet of the Giant General Civilization quickly dwindled to less than ten trillion ships. At this point, the Giant General Civilization finally abandoned the Silver Planet and launched a full-scale breakout from the Aurora Civilization's side. Although the Aurora Civilization's fleet had a numerical advantage, it was still unable to stop the Giant General Civilization from escaping. Soon, the Giant General Civilization disappeared into the vast fourth dimension.

The silver planet naturally fell into the hands of the Firefly Civilization. Hu Yu slammed his fist on the table; all his efforts had been in vain, benefiting the Firefly Civilization.

The war in the fourth dimension has ceased. Everyone took stock of their fleets and returned to the three-dimensional universe. After this battle, the total number of fleets of the three native Great Star Region Civilization in Sextans A is less than 5 trillion. Although the Firefly Civilization fleet did not consider losses when attacking, it still has as many as 50 trillion thanks to its numerical advantage and dense firepower. The Aurora Civilization's fleet also has 15 trillion left.

Now, the local civilizations can only meekly await the attitude of these outsiders. They both hope that these outsiders will stay and do not want them to stay, because the Giant General Civilization has not been completely wiped out. Once the Firefly Civilization leaves, the Giant General Civilization is very likely to make a comeback, and the fate of these rebels will be predictable.

However, if the Firefly Civilization survives, it is very likely to become another Giant General Civilization, and they will still have no chance to turn the tide. In fact, if the Firefly Civilization wanted to wipe them out now, it would be a piece of cake.

However, the Firefly Civilization had no intention of staying. After organizing their fleet, they prepared to leave with the silver planet. But in front of their fleet, a combined fleet of 1.5 trillion Conqueror and Dreadnought blocked their way. These warships represented all of Hu Yu's current combat power.

"What are you trying to do, you shameful deceivers!"

" Firefly Civilization, we are Human Civilization from the Milky Way. We did not mean to deceive you, but we urgently need combat power, and our main force has only just set sail for some reason. Therefore, we had no choice but to bring you into the battlefield." Hu Yu said, half-truthfully.

"Are you from the Milky Way civilization?"

"That's right. We've traveled over 4 million light-years to get here, not to make enemies of this civilization, but to reclaim what's ours."

"This silver planet?"

"Yes."

"It seems this silver planet is very important to you, that you've even mobilized a large force." Hu Yu immediately realized he had misspoke. He had originally intended to use the large force to intimidate the Firefly Civilization, but unexpectedly, the Firefly Civilization had indirectly confirmed the importance of the silver planet.

"Indeed, there is technology from a Large Star Region Top-Level Civilization contained here. However, it's useless to you even if you obtain it. Only we know how to activate it. The Giant General Civilization has spent countless years trying to crack it but failed. Therefore, I suggest you return it to us. In return, you will have a reliable friend in the Milky Way."

"Hmph, the manufacturing process of this silver planet alone surpasses that of the Great Star Region Civilization. The force of our attack just now couldn't even damage it. If I'm not mistaken, this is definitely the technology of Galactic-Level Civilization. Otherwise, you wouldn't be taking it so seriously and have mobilized such a large force."

" Firefly Civilization, we only want to take back what belongs to us, we don't want to start a full-scale war!" Hu Yu said veiledly, but he didn't know if this threat would be effective. If the Firefly Civilization insisted on its own way and abandoned the territory of Sextans B with its planet, Hu Yu would have no way to stop it.

The spatial power of Sextans A has not yet returned to normal, and the Conqueror cannot be two-dimensionalized. If the Firefly Civilization wants to escape, the Conqueror will not be able to catch up. After all, the Firefly Civilization is a genuine Great Star Region Advanced Civilization, which is definitely not comparable to Great Star Region Intermediate Civilization like Hu Yu's, who barely reached that level through shady means.

" Human Civilization, you don't need to threaten us. Even if your large force comes, you can't do anything to us. This universe is too vast. We can even take the entire Sextans B and leave the Local Group. However, we know that since this thing is a product of Galactic-Level Civilization, even if we obtain it, we can't decipher it. By the time we have the ability to decipher it, it will have lost its meaning. I can return it to you."

"In that case, I can only express my gratitude. The previous promise remains valid. If you wish to visit the Milky Way in the future, we humans will certainly provide you with the warmest hospitality."

"Don't be too happy yet. I said I'd give it to you, but you have to prove it belongs to you. Otherwise, I can consider you plunderers as well."

"Alright, then please release the planet."

" Yan Xue, is that alright?"

"Don't worry, brother, there won't be any problems."

The enormous silver planet, as large as Jupiter, was moved from the Firefly Civilization from its fleet to the open airspace where the two sides were facing off. Yan Xue floated out from the Conqueror and flew straight toward the massive planet.

The Yan Xue moved very quickly, soon becoming a tiny dot before disappearing completely. Its slender form could only be seen in the observation equipment, appearing extremely small compared to the enormous planet.

Soon, Yan Xue reached the planet's surface. Hu Yu saw from the magnified hologram that Yan Xue had reached one of the planet's magnetic poles. Yan Xue stood at the very center of the magnetic pole. After a few seconds, the planet's magnetic pole, like melting ice, changed from a solid to a liquid state, Yan Xue's feet sank into it.

Time passed second by second, and Yan Xue sank little by little, as if sinking into a quagmire, until she completely merged into the silver planet and disappeared. The silver planet once again regained its hard surface.

Hu Yu guessed that this decryption method must be related to the Snow Tribe's genetic sequence. Otherwise, the Snow Tribe's second chieftain would not have separated the genetic sequence from this planet. The genetic sequence is relatively easy to hide, and even if it is discovered, it is not important. Obviously, those genetic sequences are incomplete, and only true Snow Tribe can possess the complete genetic sequence.

Moreover, Yan Xue must possess a secret known only to the clan leader, which is necessary to open the planet. This multiple layer of security means that none of the links can be missing, which is why the Giant General Civilization's possession of this planet for countless years has been useless.
