Everyone was watching the planet's movements when suddenly, the silver planet moved. It began to move at high speed, its speed constantly increasing—ten thousand times, twenty thousand times, thirty thousand times the speed of light... When it accelerated to fifty thousand times the speed of light, it finally stopped. This move shocked all the civilizations present.
Fifty thousand times the speed of light is terrifying. Hu Yu knew that the Yun San Civilization was only a little over ten thousand times the speed of light. And the Silver Planet was still in three-dimensional space. If it were in the fourth dimension, the speed would be even more terrifying. No wonder the Snow Tribe didn't need a faster way of communication. Just this speed alone had already surpassed the speed of four-dimensional communication.
The silver planet circled back to its starting point. Then, its surface began to change again, and tens of thousands of dark holes appeared. The appearance of these holes frightened the Firefly Civilization present, who immediately jumped into the fourth dimension to prepare to escape. However, the planet did not attack, and the holes quickly returned to the silver surface. Only then did the Firefly Civilization send a small number of its warships back to the three-dimensional universe to continue observing.
"Big brother, we succeeded! We have control now." As the silver planet returned to the Conqueror' camp, Hu Yu heard Yan Xue's excited voice.
"You've scared the Firefly Civilization half to death, stop playing around."
"Yes, brother, I was just joking. I didn't expect them to be so cowardly."
"Hey, Rabbit, come here right now! Let's see how big your guts are. You've only just solved your basic needs and you're already getting cocky. Let's see how your Brother Xiong deals with you!"
"Ah!~~~" Yan Xue suddenly screamed. The silver planet was under strict control and could not transmit video signals. Hu Yu did not know what had happened either.
" Yan Xue, Yan Xue! What happened?"
" Rabbit, Rabbit, little chieftain, general, are you frightened by me?"
No matter how they called, there was no response. Hu Yu immediately became nervous. The Snow Tribe's affairs had happened countless billions of years ago, and Yan Xue was a clan leader who had undergone genetic modification. Who knew what unexpected things might happen?
After a while, a huge door appeared on the silver planet, and Yan Xue flew out of the door and rushed straight towards the Conqueror. Hu Yu breathed a sigh of relief, as long as Yan Xue was alright.
As soon as they entered the Conqueror, Yan Xue jumped onto Hu Yu's hand. Hu Yu could feel Yan Xue trembling incessantly. Not only was it trembling, but its white fur stood on end like a hedgehog, and its pupils were dilated, as if it were extremely frightened.
"Big... Big brother, it's... it's too scary, too scary!" Yan Xue said, trembling.
"What happened? Could there be other creatures inside?"
"Come on, little Rabbit, have some water and calm down. Weren't you just acting all high and mighty, calling us cowards? Look at you, you're like Rabbit with its fur standing on end, where's your dignity as the Snow Tribe chief?"
Yan Xue took the water Li Zhixiong handed her and gulped down several mouthfuls. Her breathing calmed down a little, and her bristling white fur subsided somewhat. However, she hadn't fully recovered from her shock. Hu Yu comforted Yan Xue, while Li Zhixiong couldn't stop smiling.
" Human Civilization, you have obtained what you have, and it is time for us to leave. If you wish to come to Sextans B in the future, please do so openly and honestly."
" The Firefly Civilization, we have another request."
"Please speak, but whether you agree or not depends on the situation."
" The Giant General Civilization has fled. I have already notified the main force to halt its advance. The Firmament Civilization and others have helped humanity, which can be considered as helping you in return. If the Giant General Civilization returns to Sextans A, they will certainly face retaliation from the Giant General Civilization. Therefore, I hope you will take over Sextans A."
"Our Firefly Civilization is not an aggressive civilization. We can simply take over your Human Civilization. We are perfectly fine staying in Sextans B. As for the Firmament Civilization and others, they can follow you to the Milky Way to escape the Giant General Civilization. They don't need our protection."
"Our Human Civilization is not an aggressive one, and Sextans A is too far from the Milky Way. Firefly Civilization, I hope we can become friends. It's a reasonable arrangement for you to maintain Sextans A and Sextans B. Let me tell you something else: more than two hundred years ago, we visited the NGC 3109 system. For some unknown reason, it had become a scorched wasteland. All civilizations were destroyed, and there wasn't a single living being left in the entire system."
"NGC3109? Are you serious?"
"This is the information we've gathered; you can verify it yourselves." Hu Yu sent all the information about NGC3109 to the Firefly Civilization: "I'm not afraid to tell you, the Milky Way is facing a catastrophe, which is why we traveled 4 million light-years to this place to search for technology left behind by ancient civilizations. Now, NGC3109 has also encountered problems, and this is no coincidence. You need to continuously strengthen yourselves to have any chance of escaping this disaster."
"Thank you, humans. Sextans A is under our control."
"I suggest you share some of your technology so we can progress together. The enemy is far stronger than we imagine. Firefly Civilization, if you encounter any unforeseen circumstances, you can come to us in the Milky Way. If you ever acquire the technology of the Giant General Civilization, please share it with the Firmament Civilization and others. I promised them. Goodbye, everyone."
"Goodbye, humanity." Although the Firmament Civilization and others did not obtain the technology tree, the Firefly Civilization seems quite good now, at least stronger than the Giant Warship Civilization. Even without the Giant General Civilization's technology tree, as long as it doesn't interfere with its development, it can still progress rapidly.
Just then, Academician Qin Yin discovered that the spatial power had returned to normal levels. The Conqueror immediately went into two dimensions and, together with the silver planet, headed towards the Milky Way.
The Silver Planet had already broadened the Firefly Civilization 'Firefly Civilization horizons, and now Hu Yu's move has once again refreshed their understanding. Civilizations that have grown up in these small star systems don't have much experience. The growth of a civilization requires friction and exchange. Only in this way can a civilization grow into a diverse one, with richer combat experience and a more comprehensive technological foundation.
" Human Civilization may indeed be a good friend. Although somewhat cunning, it is at least upright and has the demeanor of a strong person," the leader of the Firefly Civilization sighed.
" Firefly, it seems we'll be traveling between the two places," said the leader of the Aurora Civilization.
"The NGC3109 incident was too shocking. If humans hadn't informed us, we would still be in the dark. We really have to thank Human Civilization this time. Aurora, our technological development paths are different. I'll have the Science Department give you the technology tree later. I hope it will be helpful for you to advance to the Great Star Region Advanced Civilization as soon as possible."
"This... isn't that inappropriate?"
"There's nothing wrong with it. A catastrophe has occurred in the Milky Way, and NGC 3109 has been destroyed. As humans have said, this is no accident. There aren't many advanced civilizations like ours in small galaxies to begin with. If the two of us don't unite, we might not even have a chance to escape. Besides, we've supported each other since we were Stellar-Level Civilization. Are you really going to reject us now?"
"Alright, let's work together to protect these two star systems."
