"Alright, I'll take you in. You've only been in human society a few days and you've already gone astray," Hu Yu said with a smile.
Clearly, apart from the Ancestor, no one in the entire base knew anything about the fifth dimension. Moreover, when the Ancestor separated a sphere of light to create warships for humanity, he mentioned higher dimensions, indicating that the Ancestor knew something about higher dimensions, or even that he himself possessed higher dimensions.
However, after Zu gave a portion of the light sphere to humanity, he became much weaker and has shown no signs of recovery. If Zu were to intervene again now, it would only weaken him further. But there was no other way at the moment, so Hu Yu, along with several academicians and Chen Xue, came to the Slaughterer.
Since the Snow Tribe arrived in the Secondary Universe, Zu has never left the human base. With the protection of the Slaughterer, Zu is no longer afraid of that hidden opponent.
"General Hu Yu, it seems you have something important to discuss with me." Previously, the Ancestor addressed humans directly, but since the appearance of the Daozi, the Ancestor's way of addressing Hu Yu has become much more intimate.
"Elder Chief, I do indeed have a request." Hu Yu also changed his form of address. Since Yan Xue called him elder brother, according to human custom, Hu Yu also addressed the ancestor as elder chief, just like Yan Xue.
"The war is critical; General Hu Yu, please speak frankly."
"Mr. Chi Xue, we've come to inquire about five-dimensional technology," Academician Gao Zhengyang asked directly. Most of the later visitors addressed him by his original name, Chi Xue.
"You've probably got the wrong person. It's true that the Snow Tribe did possess five-dimensional technology, and even some six-dimensional technology, time technology, and rule technology back then. However, I'm not a researcher. I only know the names and functions of scientific research. As for the underlying mechanisms, I'm not even as knowledgeable as an ordinary member of the Snow Tribe."
"Old clan leader, you're so lazy, you don't learn anything at all." Chen Xue said with her big eyes wide open. The ancestor also doted on Chen Xue. She was the future technological pillar of the Snow Tribe and the hope for its rise. How could the ancestor not care about her? As a result, Chen Xue, like Yan Xue, was not afraid of the ancestor at all.
"Alas, you cannot understand the glory of the Snow Tribe back then. Countless clansmen, countless fleets, countless celestial bodies—everything belonged to the Snow Tribe. Managing such a massive undertaking was beyond my capacity, and with frequent wars, where would I find the time to study?"
"There's a saying in the general's civilization: time is like water in a sponge; if you squeeze, there's always some left. Old patriarch, you just aren't willing to squeeze harder."
"Haha, I'm just a dried-out sponge; no matter how much you squeeze, there's nothing left."
"Elder Chief, the orb of light you gave us last time contained a higher-dimensional space, but it was all chaotic. Could you give us a complete piece? I know this request is a bit unreasonable, but the war is extremely fierce right now, and the power of the Fish Horse Star Civilization has exceeded our expectations."
"This..." Zu fell into thought. It seemed that Zu still had a way to provide the complete five-dimensional space, but he seemed afraid of being hurt again.
"General Hu Yu, providing a complete five-dimensional space would cause me immense harm, equivalent to chopping a tree in half with several axe blows. Providing a sphere of light would be like peeling some bark and grabbing a handful of leaves from a tree. However, I am willing to give you the largest possible five-dimensional space to the best of my ability."
"Elder Chief, on behalf of all civilizations in the Milky Way, I thank you sincerely," Hu Yu said.
"No need. I'm not that noble for the sake of the entire galaxy's civilization. I only hope that you won't abandon Yan Xue and the Snow Tribe in the future. Just take them with you. Since I met the descendants of the Snow Tribe, I've thought a lot. The Snow Tribe has lost the potential and opportunity to rise again. If the Snow Tribe wants to continue, following humans is a good choice."
Hu Yu understood the underlying meaning. When Zu first met Yan Xue, he arrogantly proclaimed that the Snow Tribe would rise and dominate the Milky Way. However, after the old man appeared, Zu immediately became much more obedient. Hu Yu had also analyzed the situation. It was extremely difficult for the Snow Tribe to rise again. Currently, the Snow Tribe's scientific research capabilities, its members, and various technological systems were severely lacking. These things could not be accomplished in a short time. More importantly, the Snow Tribe would have to restore their genes to their original state, but that terrifying creature was something that all the current members of the Snow Tribe rejected.
"Elder Chief, humans are not treacherous and ungrateful. As long as I am here, the Snow Tribe will always be a friend of humans."
"Elder Chief, the General isn't that kind of person. If it weren't for the General risking his life to rescue us back then, we wouldn't be here today. You'd better hurry, hurry, hurry!"
"Haha, okay, I believe you. You guys get ready, and I'll get ready too. It will take me about ten years to complete a full five-dimensional space."
"Alright, thank you, Elder Chief."
After speaking, Zu transformed into a sphere of light once more. The sphere rapidly expanded within the massive Slaughterer warship, stopping only when it reached a size of one thousand meters. Then, the interior of this sphere underwent dramatic changes. No one knew what these changes were, but everyone knew that Zu was creating a complete five-dimensional space.
Ten years is too long for Hu Yu to wait. If he can get his hands on the fifth-dimensional space, conquering the Super Fortress of the Fish Horse Star Civilization is at least theoretically possible. Now he must make preparations in advance. Higher-dimensional space can exist in lower-dimensional space, but it is not very stable. He must use the fifth-dimensional space to send effective power into the interior of the Super Fortress within a limited time to achieve the greatest effect.
Hu Yu's biggest trump card right now is the Snow Tribe's 500 billion Slaughterer. Hu Yu has prepared to deploy these warships into battle several times, but in the end, Hu Yu held back. Currently, the forces on the surface are all from the Large Star Region. Whether it's the Galactic-Level Civilization that prompted the Yun San Civilization to form an alliance, or the Ancestor's rival, or even the Doomsday Civilization and Knight Civilization, which may or may not exist, none of these Galactic-Level Civilization have shown themselves.
Hu Yu had to think further ahead to avoid unforeseen changes. In the end, these Slaughterer might still be able to save Human Civilization. Hu Yu already knew that although the Slaughterer were a bit weak in attack, they had reached the mid-to-high level of the Galaxy-Level in terms of escape.
After much deliberation, Hu Yu decided to deploy the warships and Conqueror of the Blazing Sun Civilization. This time, Hu Yu did not reveal the information to other civilizations. The fifth dimension involves the most advanced technology in the entire galaxy and even the entire universe. Although the civilizations currently participating in the war are united against the Fish Horse Star Civilization, no one can predict what will happen in the future.
