In order for the plan to succeed, the second leader of the Fish Horse Star Civilization decided to sacrifice a branch and take a risk. The situation at the time was also very special. The Fish Horse Star Civilization was already surrounded by the Insect Emperor This-Life Body. Even if they did not take the risk, the branch of the Fish Horse Star Civilization had no hope of survival unless it was exposed in advance, which the second leader would never do.
The second leader of the Fish Horse Star Civilization hadn't anticipated that the Insect Emperor Secondary Body would bring the entire Fish Horse Star Civilization under its control. How this was achieved remains a mystery to the Fish Horse Star Civilization; they only have one hypothesis: perhaps a civilization possesses a collective Consciousness Field, and if it surrenders and willingly submits, the Insect Emperor Secondary Body can control the entire civilization.
The Insect Emperor Secondary Body cannot know the thoughts of every creature in the Fish Horse Star Civilization; it can only control their life and death from a consciousness perspective. In order to obtain more information about the Insect Emperor from the secondary symbiote, the Fish Horse Star Civilization civilization began to raise insect swarms. Some of these raised insect swarms were used by Fish Horse Star for research, while others became food for the Insect Emperor Secondary Body.
At the same time, the Fish Horse Star Civilization was also required by the Insect Emperor Secondary Body to eliminate various lower-level civilizations, and there was a quota to be filled. However, under the demands of the Great Star Region Civilization, the Fish Horse Star Civilization also knew that it could not forcibly destroy lower-level civilizations, but could only control other civilizations to carry out their activities. For example, the Wind Star Civilization, with just one Wind Star Civilization, turned tens of thousands of lower-level civilizations around it into food for the insects.
While enduring the oppression of the Insect Emperor Secondary Body, the Fish Horse Star Civilization continued its research until the emergence of humans. By chance, the Fish Horse Star Civilization discovered Li Shun's secret Fish Horse Star Civilization risked a surprise attack on Li Shun's base in the Second Spiral Arm. However, Li Shun luckily escaped, Fish Horse Star Civilization captured a large number of Li Shun's people.
By using humans to feed the insect swarm, the Fish Horse Star Civilization wanted to know the true secret of Li Shun's Consciousness Field and the purpose of Daozi. Secondly, the Fish Horse Star Civilization wanted to know the influence of this Consciousness Field on the Insect Emperor. Thirdly, it was also for revenge. In his prime, Daozi showed no mercy when he hunted down the Doomsday Civilization and the Knight Civilization.
Later, when Hu Yu and his human group appeared, the Fish Horse Star Civilization had a general idea of Daozi's plan and saw a glimmer of hope. In order to get rid of the control of the Insect Emperor Secondary Body, humans would definitely be a good help. So the Fish Horse Star Civilization constantly fought against humans, but did not completely eliminate Hu Yu. Besides being wary of Daozi, another purpose was to use humans to destroy the Insect Emperor Secondary Body and restore their own civilization to freedom.
As expected, humanity grew stronger step by step until one day, they invaded the base of the Fish Horse Star Civilization. The Second Leader had not organized an effective escape plan, and even if they tried, they couldn't escape. Their mission was complete, and the Second Leader knew that once the Insect Emperor Secondary Body was exposed, it would surely die, and the entire civilization would regain its freedom. The moment the Second Leader sensed the Insect Emperor Secondary Body being killed, he felt a great sense of relief. Everything was over, and he could finally rest. Thus, the captured Second Leader of the Fish Horse Star Civilization ended his own life.
Hu Yu was fairly clear about what happened afterward. The Nebula Consciousness Entity intercepted the research data of the Fish Horse Star Civilization and handed it over to the scientists of the Yun San Civilization for analysis. Li Shun also obtained some of the data. Later, the Far Watcher Civilization captured all the scientists of the Yun San Civilization. Hu Yu handed over all the research data to Academician Xiao for analysis, but time was limited, and without the time advantage of the Secondary Universe, and Academician Xiao had more important tasks, the data of the Fish Horse Star Civilization could not be effectively analyzed.
On the contrary, Li Shun used various means to decipher the data of the Fish Horse Star Civilization and improve it. As a result, Li Shun's research on consciousness reached the level of the Fish Horse Star Civilization in a short period of time. Moreover, thanks to his own advantages, although Li Shun's research was slightly inferior to that of the Fish Horse Star Civilization, the gap was already very small compared to the research time of the two civilizations.
Just as the Fish Horse Star Civilization had resolved the issue of perfectly controlling the Insect Emperor, Li Shun had already launched a powerful burst of consciousness energy at the Insect Emperor. Under the influence of this consciousness energy, the Insect Emperor was successfully controlled. If the Fish Horse Star Civilization's first attack had not failed, Li Shun would not have been able to accomplish this.
"Leadership, we succeeded! We succeeded!"
"Well done, Wei Kaiyuan! Our day of triumph is almost here! However, one Insect Emperor alone is not enough to accomplish our great mission. Let's begin our first important plan. I never imagined we would succeed so smoothly today."
"Yes, Chief."
The Insect Emperor was struck by two powerful energies of consciousness and became dazed. This was a method of consciousness attack and control specifically designed for the Insect Emperor Insect Emperor, developed by the Fish Horse Star Civilization through nearly two million years of direct research. If they hadn't wanted to use the Insect Emperor to further damage the Galactic Consciousness, the Fish Horse Star Civilization would have been confident of killing Insect Emperor long ago.
Now, the Insect Emperor has been intercepted by Li Shun. Under Li Shun's command, the Insect Emperor turns and attacks the black hole's protective layer. At the same time, the River Fleet, under the cover of the Insect swarm, also rushes to the vicinity of the protective layer. High-yield gravity bombs have been launched. With a series of earth-shattering explosions, the black hole's protective layer collapses instantly under the impact of countless Insect swarms and the fleet.
The Space Maze vanished, the energy pillar attack disappeared, and the already riddled fortress lost its gravitational constraint, being pulled into huge fragments in mid-air by the black hole's gravity. These fragments then began to fall towards the black hole, unleashing bursts of enormous energy.
"We! We've failed! Why? Why?! Billions of years of effort, all for naught!" The Fish Horse Star Civilization looked up to the sky and sighed, overwhelmed with grief.
"Chief, as long as we're alive, we can always fight again. We still have a chance to make a comeback. Chief, our people are safe and sound. Let's retreat and return to our original base. We will no longer participate in the affairs of the Milky Way for the time being."
"Knight, Mu Tang has failed."
"Let him come back. This child has had a tough time all these years."
"I've already sent a message, but I'm afraid Mu Tang won't listen; he's too stubborn."
"I will absolutely not give up now, Ci Ma. You lead the people back to port, and I will take over the fleet. Fish Horse Star Civilization cannot have, we will absolutely not let a clown like Li Shun have either."
"Chief, you mustn't! The two elder patriarchs have already given orders..."
"Enough said, I've made up my mind."
"Summit."
"Haha, the Fish Horse Star Civilization, is it? You want to seize the Black Hole Consciousness, is that right?"
"Who are you!"
"Who we are is not important; what matters is that we are here to help you."
