"Do not act rashly. Trust me, with a single thought, I can kill every single creature present."
What do you want to do?
"I'm here to remind you that humanity has already made a move against the Yun San Civilization."
"You don't need to tell me, we already know." Indeed, the entire galaxy knows now, there's no need for the Dark Shadow to repeat it.
"They only knew that the Yun San Civilization had betrayed the Milky Way, but they didn't know that the Yun San Civilization had accomplices."
"What do you mean?"
"Don't worry, everything Yun San Civilization has done is arranged by me. In other words, Yun San is carrying out my orders, so I am naturally fully aware of what you have done."
"You are the terrifying power that Yun San mentioned?"
"I believe Yun San only knows me, and there are no others."
What do you want?
" The Yun San Civilization has now been forced into that Lost Zone by humanity and several other civilizations, and I need a new partner. How about it, are you interested?"
"Cooperate with you? The Yun San Civilization escape into the Lost Zone and still survive. If we are discovered, we'll probably face annihilation. But everything is negotiable. As long as there are enough benefits, cooperation isn't a problem. We're already on this pirate ship. Even if I don't cooperate, you'll probably find a way to expose what we've done."
"Clever. To show my sincerity, I can tell you some secrets. Yun San knows these secrets, but he certainly hasn't shared them with you, or rather, he's only told you bits and pieces. I originated from the Eagle Nebula; I am Nebula Consciousness, or rather, a nebula being. I possess a powerful Consciousness Field; no conscious being is my match. However, since I don't have much of a physical form, what I can do is very limited, so I need a helper."
"You're also a consciousness entity? Like the Insect Emperor?"
"The differences aren't significant, and those aren't the main points. Did you know that the supermassive black hole at the center of the Milky Way also has its own consciousness?"
"What? This is impossible?"
"Nothing is impossible. Zhou Dao is a manifestation of the Black Hole Consciousness. What I need to do is replace the consciousness of the black hole at the center of the Milky Way. However, this is extremely difficult. For some reason, our galaxy's black hole has always been in a weakened state. If it were in a normal state, I wouldn't even dare to have this idea. But even in a weakened state, it's not something I can fight against. I've been waiting for an opportunity all these years. Now, the Fish Horse Star Civilization is doing the same thing. I can use the Fish Horse Star Civilization as a tool to fulfill my long-cherished wish."
"You still haven't said what we'll get in return."
"The galactic black hole is not just a conscious entity, but also a super information storage device. It has consciousness and memory; everything that happens in the galaxy will be recorded without discrimination, including the rise of each civilization, the path of technological development, and even the research process of civilized beings. I believe that these things should be extremely useful to you. The Milky Way has existed for over ten billion years; the value of this treasure trove is immeasurable. However, these things are meaningless to me, so after success, they will all be yours."
But I don't trust you.
You had no choice.
"Okay, what do you need us to do?"
"I sent Yun San to kill Hu Yu before, but I don't know if he succeeded. Humanity hasn't gone into chaos yet. I can't wait any longer. Has Zhou Dao contacted you? Find a way to kill Zhou Dao."
"Kill Zhou Dao? You overestimate us. If Zhou Dao truly is the Black Hole Consciousness, how could we possibly handle him?"
"Nothing is impossible. To kill a consciousness entity, you only need to be stronger than its consciousness. As for Zhou Dao, he is no longer entirely a consciousness entity. Moreover, the Galactic Consciousness is currently very weak. As long as his physical body is destroyed, it will cause him serious damage. Of course, it is impossible to kill him in one go; this action needs to be repeated multiple times."
"Not even one kill? If Zhou Dao retaliates, we simply cannot withstand it."
"Don't worry, I'll assist you during the operation. As long as you kill his physical body, I can kill him on a consciousness level."
"Okay, I'll think of something."
"Take this. You can contact me anytime with this." The Dark Shadow handed the Demon Scorpion leader a stone-like object.
Dark Shadow departed, the Demon Scorpion Leader smiled mysteriously. Perhaps this Dark Shadow was the hidden force in the galaxy that the old man had been searching for. However, it was still uncertain, as the old man had gone to Sextans and had not yet returned. Of course, the shadowy Dark Shadow could not know any of this. The Demon Scorpion Leader pondered how to capture and kill the Dark Shadow.
For countless years, the Demon Scorpion Civilization has been secretly researching technologies at the level of consciousness. This was a task assigned by the Daozi. However, the Demon Scorpion Civilization has never shown these technologies to the outside world. The Demon Scorpion Civilization's research on Consciousness Field is not only about attack, but also involves repairing the Black Hole Consciousness. This is a hidden trump card of the Demon Scorpion Civilization.
The task of eliminating the mechanical beings is relatively simple. Although the number of mechanical beings is huge, their speed is no match for that of warships. As long as the Consciousness Field detection instrument is activated, the location of the mechanical beings is as obvious as a candle in the dark, leaving them nowhere to escape. In addition, the mechanical beings have now lost their command and have become a disorganized mess, each trying to escape for their own lives.
In a short time, the fleet annihilated all the mechanical beings, leaving none behind. The Mechanical Lord's tens of thousands of years of effort were so easily wiped out by Hu Yu in a short period of time.
At this moment, the Mechanical Lord was unaware that his hard work had been reduced to endless fragments. If he knew, one wonders what his expression would be.
In the Secondary Universe.
"Academician, is it finished?" Hu Yu asked Academician Xiao.
"Hmm, all memories have been read. This leader of Yun San is truly extraordinary. He has one set of rules in public and another in private, and he does it almost flawlessly."
" Yun San, why is this happening? We've known each other for billions of years, seeking refuge together, growing together. I considered you a brother from another race, so why did you betray us and treat us so cruelly?"
"The victor is king, the loser is villain. I have nothing to say. You have already read our memories and know the answer, so why ask me?" After saying this, the leader of Yun San closed his eyes and said no more.
"General, look, what is this?" Academician Xiao said, pointing to the Dark Shadow next to Yun San's leader in the memory reconstruction scene.
"This is?"
"Even the Yun San leader isn't entirely clear about the existence of this thing. He only knows that it's a consciousness entity, and that its existence Yun San Civilization. I believe that everything the Yun San Civilization has done is instigated by this Dark Shadow figure. Of course, the Yun San leader is also acting voluntarily. Even without the Dark Shadow figure, the Yun San leader isn't a good person."
