What's wrong with this universe?

What can you do in ten thousand years?

It should be noted that the empire spent far more than ten thousand years on its journey.

While shocked, the imperial high command also felt a surge of joy.

Especially when they learned that human civilization came from the Milky Way and even brought the Empire's home planet with them, the Empire's high command's goodwill towards human civilization skyrocketed!

OK!

With such a potentially powerful civilization joining, the future of the Silicon Alliance looks promising!

Not to mention that this human civilization is actually from the same hometown in the true sense!

This is a cause for celebration for the entire clan!

Before the imperial high command could issue a celebratory order, a second broadcast of the tachyon arrived.

[...]

silence.

Thump...

A muffled sound echoed within the flagship and spread outwards.

That was the sound of an Imperial entity's tentacles slamming hard against the deck!

As several high-ranking imperial officials moved, the once calm fog began to churn, seemingly reflecting the anger in their hearts!

[Pastoral style!]

They actually dared to attack members of the Silicon Alliance!

Is this an attempt to fool the Silicon-based Alliance into thinking it has no one left?!

Thick, dark gray tentacles lashed rapidly in the air, while the cylindrical body rose and fell continuously in the mist.

[Damn it, send the order to change course immediately and prepare...]

Before the words had even finished, a third broadcast came whistling in.

[...]

Another silence followed.

[Members of the Silicon Alliance are rushing to the aid of the M87 galaxy?! Great! Great! That's exactly what we should do!]

What?! The neutral faction has also joined the fray?!

【this……】

In the thick fog, the imperial high command looked at each other in bewilderment.

The entire Laniakea Supercluster is in complete chaos!

If I'm not mistaken, the neutral faction is probably unaware of the specifics and was forced into the war.

However… now that the neutral faction has entered the fray, this war probably won't break out anytime soon. With the Sekel civilization involved, there's no need to worry about the safety of human civilization.

[Seconded.]

Should the fleet change course again? We haven't found a natural four-dimensional cavitation structure yet, and we don't know how the Cleaners civilization was so lucky.

【Why……】

[Let's vote: continue forward, or return to the Laniakea Supercluster.]

A few minutes later.

As the voting results were displayed in the mist, an electromagnetic communication signal echoed in the command center.

[Fleet, rest in place. Continue forward once your status is replenished!]

[The destination of this voyage: the Hollow of Boötes.]

...

The M87 galaxy.

Watching the wormhole fluctuations gradually dissipate in the holographic projection, Lü Yongchang swallowed hard, then raised his slightly trembling hand and sent a message of gratitude to the Saikel civilization.

During the exchange of information just now, he had already understood the reason for the retreat of the four-dimensional beings—human civilization almost became the fuse for a full-scale war in the Laniakea Supercluster!

Although the crisis has been temporarily averted, and the rural faction has sent a message to the neutral faction and the silicon-based alliance to clarify the "misunderstanding," Lü Yongchang still felt a chill run down his spine.

If a major war were to break out, given the combat capabilities demonstrated by the Seikor civilization, human civilization might not even know how it perished.

[Haha, don't worry, the pastoral faction wouldn't dare to provoke both the neutral faction and the cleaners at the same time.]

As the instigator who lit the fuse, the Sekor civilization casually sent out a tachyon message.

[By the way, the Tenth Empire has already sent a response.]

Upon seeing this line of text, Lü Yongchang immediately felt a surge of energy!

The Sekor civilization is out of the question; barring any unforeseen circumstances, it is likely the weakest of the eight-level civilizations in terms of combat strength.

But... the Tenth Empire is definitely not it!

New thigh!

"What did the Empire say?"

Lu Yongchang asked somewhat anxiously.

The Empire believes you have great potential and has issued a direct order to the Silicon Alliance to protect your safety.

However, the Imperial expeditionary fleet has not yet found the four-dimensional cavitation structure, so... the Empire is currently unable to return.

"Is that so..." Lu Yongchang pondered for a moment, "Then where is the Imperial Expeditionary Fleet now?"

[The Hercules Supercluster's next target is the Boötes Void.]

This message immediately sparked a noisy discussion within the Earth Command Center.

Lu Yongchang's face was also filled with shock.

The Hercules Supercluster... it's all the way to the Hercules-Neuropalatine Great Wall?!

As for the emptiness of Boötes...

It was an even more terrifying colossal cosmic structure.

A massive void with a diameter of 330 million light-years occupies a full 0.27% of the diameter of the observable universe!

The interior of the void contains almost no galaxies, making it a truly desolate zone!

Before human civilization could respond, the Sekor civilization sent another message.

[Long ago, the Cleaners civilization discovered a four-dimensional void near the Boötes Void, so it's understandable that the Empire wants to try its luck there.]

"What's the meaning?!"

Lü Yongchang's heart began to pound violently.

This sentence contains far too much information!

[Literal meaning.]

[Ten thousand years ago, the Cleaners civilization discovered a natural four-dimensional cavitation structure in the Boötes hollow region and waged a large-scale war against the Pastoralists.]

The Cleaners civilization, having achieved a pyrrhic victory, successfully obtained the four-dimensional vacuole.

Then... they deciphered detailed four-dimensional technology from the four-dimensional cavitation structure.

[It was from that time onward that the Cleaners' civilization officially surpassed the Pastoral Faction in strength.]

Everything went smoothly.

No wonder the Cleaners were so determined to find the two-dimensional fragments; no wonder they dared to unilaterally break the tripartite agreement!

...

[Complete evacuation from the Virgo Supercluster!]

The message from [Membrane] was filled with intense anger: [We absolutely cannot attract the attention of the neutral faction now!]

The Annihilation Plan must not be exposed!

Unlike the neutral territory of M87, the pastoral M87 branch is now facing an unprecedented crisis.

This kind of huge mess can't be cleared up with a simple misunderstanding.

They not only have to face questioning from the membrane, but also be "surrounded" by the cleaners and the neutral civilization that came from afar.

In order to implement the requirements of the [Membrane], the original pastoral M87 branch had no choice but to give up the readily available Ring Universe Accelerator node and withdraw from the Virgo Supercluster.

As for the combat squad that "caused trouble"... in order to quell the "anger" of the neutral faction and to prevent them from pursuing the matter further, they were also executed in public.

However, information about human civilization was directly presented to the [membrane].

The membrane also noticed this Level 7 civilization that emerged from a remote corner of the universe.

[Find an opportunity to wipe out human civilization as soon as possible!]

He gave instructions to all the pastoral members.
