"We'll settle this score with the pastoral faction once our mother civilization successfully advances to level nine!"

...

1800 years later, the Earth's calendar.

With a familiar buzzing sound, Lü Yongchang slowly opened his eyes.

After several improvements and developments, hibernation technology has become increasingly sophisticated.

The original pale yellow hibernation fluid was replaced by a milky white mist, and the "cabin cough" phenomenon commonly seen in hibernators became a thing of the past.

After a brief moment of confusion, his eyes quickly regained their focus.

"Zero, have we arrived?"

A synthesized voice followed, and a holographic projection automatically appeared in front of him: "Yes, Professor."

"The fleet is about to arrive in the M87 system and is currently carrying out the first batch of awakening operations."

Lü Yongchang quickly got up from the hibernation pod and walked towards the porthole.

Outside the porthole, the M87 galaxy had become incredibly clear.

That was a gigantic galaxy several times larger than the Milky Way and the Andromeda Galaxy!

Unlike the Milky Way, which is a disk-shaped spiral galaxy, M87 is a giant elliptical galaxy.

It has almost no special shape.

To the naked eye, the M87 galaxy looks more like a giant cluster of light composed of countless stars.

The further in you go, the higher the density of stars, and the brighter the cluster of light becomes.

At the center of the M87 galaxy, there is a massive quasar structure with two high-energy plasma jets extending 4,900 light-years outward, constantly spewing out massive amounts of matter.
