Voyage of the Stars.

Chapter 1402 Self Strategy
Faced with the Galactic Great Voyage Organization's tough stance, the second-type boundary breakers were also in a dilemma. They really didn't want to fight anymore because they couldn't win, but being constantly monitored by the other side's detectors was very unpleasant.

They felt they were negotiating, not surrendering, and therefore could not accept such terms.

The condition that "all personnel must evacuate from the Grand Line and any star systems directly connected to it by stargates" was seen as pushing the limits by the second type of boundary breakers. After all, they were just passing through; to demand that their entire clans relocate was unreasonable. The three major maritime organizations were merely passing through the Grand Line, not residing there.

"The second condition is just a matter of reputation ownership, which we can agree to. The third condition is a bit harsh, but it is reasonable. If it were us, we would also restrict the development of their warships, so I think we can agree to these two conditions."

In response to the four basic conditions proposed by human civilization, the second type of boundary breakers immediately began discussions after receiving the information.

Negotiations between different civilizations are usually like this. After all, they are a group, and it is impossible to make a decision in just a few words. Before announcing things to the outside world, a unified opinion must be reached internally.

"As for the first and fourth conditions, they're going too far. Do the String Piercers think we're really afraid of them? Well, even if we are, they can't wipe us all out. Well, they can't afford the time cost. So we must fight to the end, and we absolutely cannot give in to the first and fourth conditions!"

"Then what do you suggest? Keep fighting? Send your few remaining tribes to stop the String Piercers next time? Your tribes want to live a life of hiding and running, a life of being discovered and slaughtered by the String Piercers at any moment. We don't want that!"

The boundary breaker, who opposed the idea of ​​resisting to the end, directly countered the resistance, and then explained: "I think we can agree to their demands for two reasons: First, to be honest, none of us want to fight anymore, and we can't afford to continue fighting; no one can bear it. Second, our purpose in negotiating with the string players is peace, to let them pass. Once they've passed and entered the void, who cares about any treaty!"

This statement immediately sparked heated discussion.

The boundary breakers then realized that they had been trapped in a mental inertia.

That's a huge void; once you go in, you're doomed. There's absolutely no chance of getting out. Otherwise, they wouldn't have chosen to embrace dark matter.

Furthermore, of the three major voyage organizations, only the String Piercers are truly powerful. Once those civilizations enter the Great Void, this Stargate Network will once again belong to them.

As for the treaty, what treaty do we not know about?

Upon reflection, the group of boundary breakers suddenly felt enlightened.

Some ancient boundary breakers also had memories of the past resurface in their minds. They knew very well that once the main civilization entered the Great Void, those so-called detectors placed here to observe them would be useless, because due to the influence of quantum foam, the quantum communication technology of the technological civilization could not reach infinite distances.

Therefore, once inside a black hole, it is impossible to contact anything outside the hole.

My predecessor was like that. Some civilizations chose to gamble everything and enter the Great Void, while others chose to split their civilization into two parts, with one part going in and the other staying outside. I was the one that stayed outside.

But no matter how they went in, the end result was the same: no civilization came out alive. So many years have passed, and these ancient boundary breakers already knew that their predecessors' companions had long since died in the Great Void.

That is an abyss that devours civilization and destroys life, not hope.

The boundary breakers weren't stupid. After thinking it over, they realized that the conditions the three major voyage organizations had agreed to might just be verbal promises. Who would believe things like they would never come back for revenge after success, or that all grudges would be wiped clean?

But it doesn't matter. So many civilizations have gone in and never come out; they all died inside. There's no reason why it would take hundreds of Level 6 civilizations from your three major expeditionary organizations to succeed.

Some boundary breakers were indifferent, but others were thinking more deeply. They had already begun to plan ahead. They first agreed to the four conditions, then said, "Before their main flagship enters the Great Void, we also need to think of a way. We can't let them hold all the initiative." "How so?"

"Simple! Although they have absolutely no chance of succeeding, we still have to be prepared for the worst, right? So we have to be prepared for the worst and for them to come back successfully."

An ancient boundary-breaker sorted out his thoughts and continued, "I think we should do it this way. They want to enter the Great Void, right? We can agree to all four of their demands. It won't take long. Once their main civilization is inside, we'll quietly launch our operation. Any civilization that has a portion remaining outside the Great Void will be our target."

"Oh? You wiped them out?"

"Fool, our great dark matter life forms are peace-loving. Why do you keep talking about annihilating them? If the String Piercer heard you say that, he would slaughter your entire race."

"Uh, so what do you mean?"

"Hehe, do you remember how you became a great dark matter life form?"

"Oh, I understand, I understand!"

"Huh? What do you understand? Can you explain it more clearly?"

"You're so stupid, you won't admit it," the ancient boundary-breaker scoffed, then explained, "We can corrupt them—no, we can bring them the true path of light and hope."

"Wow, that's really brilliant!"

Now all the boundary breakers present understood. The ancient boundary breakers meant to turn all the civilizations left outside the Great Void into boundary breakers, so that even if another part of that civilization successfully entered the Great Void and came out, they wouldn't harm them.

After all, they can't very well attack their own kind!

Besides, our great dark matter life is not doing this to harm them, but to bring them a bright future, for the good of those civilizations left outside the void.

We find joy in helping others!
The views of this ancient boundary breaker gained widespread support, and gradually, a consensus was reached among the boundary breakers themselves.

From the perspective of the three major long-range expedition organizations, the Boundary Breakers compromised after receiving the threat of renewed war, agreeing to the four basic demands put forward by human civilization.

Conversely, the three major voyage organizations also pledged that they would not attack the boundary breakers under any circumstances in the future, provided that the boundary breakers abide by four basic requirements.

Both sides, with their own agendas, signed a peace treaty.

And so, this war, which had lasted for twenty million years by the Abyss and Blue Ocean Grand Voyage Organization, was ended by a single treaty.
