The pastoral school.
As the subtle fluctuations in spacetime slowly dissipated, the figures of [Time] and [Silk] reappeared in the vast universe.
At this point, they had already arrived at the so-called "aggregation region" through the wormhole—a sparsely populated area of stars located 10,000 light-years away from the central black hole of the Andromeda Galaxy.
"[Time], are we really going to leave them like this on the edge of the galaxy without any problems?"
As soon as they left the wormhole, Silk asked Time, "What if they informed the Cleaners of our presence...?"
The gray, spherical structure floated slowly, and [Shi] denied it without hesitation: "Impossible!"
"You know the nature of the silicon ray; it would never do something so strenuous and unrewarding!"
"not to mention……"
"Based on our information, the relationship between the cleaners and the neutrals is not very good right now."
[Silk] After a period of silence, the twisting of the silk thread became increasingly complex.
"You should know that I'm not worried about silicon rays."
"I'm worried about the level 7 civilization behind it."
"The Enroget civilization?" [Time]'s tone became hesitant. "That shouldn't be possible, right? It's also a member of the Silicon-based Alliance. Under the supervision of the Silicon Ray, it has no reason to do such a thing."
"I don't know why, but I always feel that the style of the Enroget civilization's warships looks a bit familiar."
【Silk】 dropped another bombshell: "I feel like I've seen them in the Milky Way before."
This time, [Shi] fell completely silent.
The fate of the Milky Way has become an unspeakable scar in their hearts.
Not only did the painting die, but even the two-dimensional fragments fell into the hands of the Cleaner civilization!
That's absolutely shameful!
Reminded by [Silk], [Time] began to recall those painful memories in her mind.
Suddenly, as if it had thought of something, the fluctuation amplitude of the gray shadow structure increased significantly.
"You mean... that Level 4 civilization that was reduced to two-dimensional form by two-dimensional fragments?!"
"Yes."
[Silk] gave an affirmative answer: "If I remember correctly... their name seems to be Human Civilization."
"If you put it that way... the warships do have some similarities in style."
"But, this must be a coincidence, right?"
The gray shadow structure fluctuated violently, clearly showing the surprise and doubt in [Shi's] heart.
"How much time has passed?"
[Shi] questioned, "From a Level 4 civilization to a Level 7 civilization, how... how is that possible?!"
[Silk] immediately fell into deep thought.
That seems to be the case.
In less than ten thousand years, they have developed from a Type IV civilization to a Type VII civilization, and even traveled from the Milky Way to the Andromeda Galaxy...
Even the ancient Level III artificial intelligence didn't develop at such a rapid pace!
Even so, it still whispered, "Just to be on the safe side, you should still take a look."
Shi felt quite helpless about the demands of [silk].
Browsing through timelines is no easy task.
With a major battle imminent, it did not want to expend too much of its own energy.
But Silk's speculation was like a thorn deeply embedded in its heart.
then……
After a brief silence, it turned its gaze to the winding timeline that flowed like a long, rolling river.
...
Four-dimensional space, plus one-dimensional time, constitutes five-dimensional spacetime.
[Time] sways its body, easily traversing the five-dimensional spacetime.
Time, in the eyes of [时], is a winding river that only flows forward.
This boundless river has no known source or destination.
From the perspective of time, the upstream of this river is definite.
But the lower reaches of the river are constantly changing—countless tributaries spread out, and each branch has the potential to become the main trunk of the river.
It cannot see any of the tributaries clearly; it can only sense their existence through intuition.
All four-dimensional beings are like it—they can only browse through timelines that have already occurred.
However, compared to three-dimensional life, this is already a qualitative leap forward!
Three-dimensional beings living in three-dimensional space are not even able to perceive the existence of that extra dimension of time.
It continuously extracts zero-point energy from the vacuum of the universe, searching for the traces of the Enroget civilization in this endless river of time.
This is an incredibly strenuous task.
No four-dimensional being would willingly do such a thankless and arduous job unless absolutely necessary.
Found it!
Having just come into contact with the Enroget civilization, [Time] quickly found the corresponding point of light in the river of time.
The light spots are colorful, like a grain of sand shimmering with neon colors.
It cautiously approached, carefully examining the grain of sand that contained boundless energy.
The power of time is terrifying.
The River of Time is extremely dangerous—to date, all four-dimensional beings that have rashly come into contact with it have died under the power of time.
It examined the grain of sand carefully.
The gravel was very small, which means that the Enroget civilization did not exist for a long time.
[Shi] Suddenly a bad premonition arose in his heart, and his expression immediately became serious.
It extended its tentacles and gently touched the grain of sand that shimmered with seven colors from a distance.
Pure energy from Zero Point Energy gently stirred the sand, and a scene appeared before [Time].
[Time] He struggled to move the "progress bar".
