Voyage of the Stars.

Chapter 1420 Luck or Misfortune
The long-distance voyages were extremely time-consuming, and while the three major voyage organizations were heading towards the abyss, many other things were happening in other parts of the universe.

In the boundless universe, a massive fleet traversed the void and docked beside a vast galaxy. This galaxy was enormous, a spiral system with a diameter of four hundred thousand light-years.

Its stars twinkle and nebulae are everywhere, and looking out feels like entering another starry world.

A closer look reveals that the ships in the massive fleet that arrived here are not built in the same style. It is clearly not a single fleet of a single civilization. If one could directly overhear their conversations, it would be easy to identify that this is a large-scale expeditionary organization composed of 399 level-six civilizations, plus three special life forms.

One is a Gaia life form, another is a nebula life form, and yet another, from the outside, is actually a bright, shining planet—more precisely, a star-like planet that emits light and changes its brightness. Its life activities are within its interior, and its thought processes are powered by positrons. Clearly, its life form is similar to that of the remnants of the Milky Way at that time.

He is actually another survivor, a first-generation celestial life form left over from the ancient universe. Such life forms are extremely rare. The three major expeditionary organizations, Galaxy, Abyss, and Blue Ocean, have never encountered such a special life form along their journey, but this incredibly lucky expeditionary organization has.

Not only did they encounter them, but they also successfully recruited them into their team, embarking on a long voyage together.

The reason is simple: within this great voyage organization, some civilizations told the stories of the survivors to this special life form.

Clearly, these civilizations originated from the Milky Way galaxy, and they are aware of some of its historical events, such as the Remnants being killed by the electronic warships, and how human civilization, after defeating the electronic warships, embarked on a long voyage with other galactic leaders.

They have a rather unpretentious name: the Tiannai Grand Expeditionary Organization, a grand expeditionary organization jointly initiated by the Tianquan Civilization and the Nair Civilization, which sets off from the Milky Way.

What's amazing is that the Celestial Dog Civilization and the Nier Civilization in the Tiannai Grand Expeditionary Organization don't have any distinctive technologies. The former only has advantages in computer technology, and can be said to have mastered photon computers. The latter has almost no art of war, and the entire civilization has very little combat ability. However, they somehow obtained a seventh-level civilization artifact.

It was a creation of the Observer civilization, hence the Niel civilization called it the Eye of Observation. Its function was very simple, only scanning and detection. But this one thing saved the entire Great Voyage Organization from annihilation multiple times.

Because its scanning and detection capabilities are so strong and its range is so wide, basically whenever there is a war, other civilizations are completely transparent to the Tiannai Great Voyage Organization.

Therefore, even without unique technology, the Tiannai Great Voyage Organization can defeat most enemies. Moreover, thanks to the Eye of Observation, they have avoided many cosmic catastrophe zones during their voyages. It can be said that they have basically never been harmed by cosmic disasters.

When faced with slightly tougher opponents, the Tiannai Great Voyage Organization is capable of putting up a fight, because not only do they have a large number of civilizations, but they also have three special life forms.

The reason why the Celestial Dog Civilization was able to maintain its leadership position was because one of the three special life forms was their loyal partner, Adli, who had evolved into a true Gaia life form. Although he would occasionally go crazy, it was no longer a big deal.

The reason Adli is so friendly with the kobolds is entirely due to the influence of human civilization.

In fact, the kobolds' voyage didn't take long; they left the Milky Way only 2.45 million years after human civilization. From a cosmic perspective, it was practically instantaneous.

But the results were quite different.

The Celestial Dog Civilization and the Niel Civilization did indeed successfully reach the Andromeda Galaxy. They also discovered the cause of the damaged Andromeda Galaxy, knowing it was due to war. However, they were fortunate not to find any guiding information left by humans.

This allowed them to successfully avert the Stargate disaster.

Left with no other choice, they had to travel to a satellite galaxy of the Andromeda Galaxy as a springboard to continue their warp-speed voyage.

Such actions have led them astray from the path of human civilization.

Whether it was luck or bad luck, the Celestial Dog Civilization and the Niel Civilization could no longer find any trace of the Galactic Great Expeditionary Organization after leaving the Andromeda Galaxy. They even wondered if they had taken the wrong path, but even if they had, they couldn't turn back.

So they had no choice but to grit their teeth and continue. Fortunately, the Celestial Dog Civilization remembered what the human civilization had told them: the final destination of the Great Voyage was the Great Hollow of Boötes. So they wandered around, making their own way towards the Great Hollow of Boötes.

Perhaps because they were on a different path from human civilization, they never crossed a stargate. But they also turned misfortune into fortune, or rather, they were incredibly lucky, as they found the ruins of the Observer civilization in a certain star system, and the Niel civilization even successfully obtained the core artifact within the ruins, which later became the Eye of Observation they used.

Thus, thanks to the powerful observation and scanning capabilities of the Eye of Observation, as well as the formidable combat strength of the three special life forms within the organization, they managed to navigate their journey with relative ease, albeit with some setbacks. In fact, judging from the difficulties they encountered, their journey was even smoother than that of the Galactic Great Voyage Organization.

However, their inability to discover even a single stargate severely hampered their voyage. But from another perspective, their slow pace also led them to encounter more civilizations along the way.

As luck would have it, the existence of the Eye of Observation allowed the Tiannai Civilization to accurately assess the formidable combat power of the Great Voyage Organization, a technologically advanced civilization, and maintain the initiative in information gathering. They encountered many seemingly insurmountable enemies, yet managed to escape.

However, going around in circles was ultimately too time-consuming. In addition, they did not have a civilization like the Divine Moment Civilization, nor could they find the route to the dark matter islands hidden in the starry sky. As a result, they successfully missed the time to enter the Boötes Great Void, because in the second half of their great voyage, when they were about to reach the edge of the Boötes Great Void.

The Eye of Observation told them that there was no way forward; the vast void ahead was filled with catastrophic zones, and it was constantly expanding.

The Eye of Observation saved them once again, but they had no choice but to abandon their journey to the Great Hollow of Boötes and instead turn around to head towards a nearby Great Hollow.
