Voyage of the Stars.

Chapter 1454 Radical Contracts Encourage Neutrality

As for the Star Guardian, he came to the Great Void with the original intention of having his companions help him open an opening in his shell, but after arriving at the Great Void, he never mentioned this request again.

For this reason, the humans, awakeners, and the Divine Civilization who had a good relationship with him specifically asked him this question, but the response was silence, followed by "I was wrong".

And then that was it, leaving several civilizations completely baffled.

Later I learned that this thing could evolve, but not in the traditional sense of a special life form like nebula life, but rather through technology.

The Star Guardian tells human civilization, the Divine Moment civilization, and the Awakener that after detecting warp speeds exceeding a thousand times the speed of light, a spatial portal within himself connects to his mainframe.

According to the Star Defender, it was a limiter that the Dayan Civilization should have prepared when it created him, but for some reason, it has never been connected to his own mainframe.

After the connection was established, the Star Guardian's warp speed was also enhanced. It also contained a wealth of technological knowledge and applications, all from the Dayan civilization. The Star Guardian had remained silent all these years, diligently researching and trying to understand these things.

The things inside were too complex; even the Star Guardians themselves didn't understand them. In short, over the years, the Star Guardians had become very silent, except for occasionally coming to ask about some cosmic-level scientific knowledge from human civilization, the Divine Moment civilization, and the Awakeners. Otherwise, they spent most of their time in silence.

He stopped sleeping.

It seems that after everyone has advanced to a cosmic-level civilization, the Star Guardians have also begun to seek progress, only their goal has shifted from breaking through the outer shell to finding the Dayan civilization.

Moreover, judging from his tone, the Star Guardian was determined to find the Dayan Civilization. What he wanted to do most now was to leave this place as soon as possible and urge the Starry Sky Expedition Organization to go deep into the universe to find the Dayan Civilization.

Therefore, he had no interest in the meeting convened by the Silver Heart Civilization. He merely showed his face, said "My opinion is the same as that of human civilization," and then left.

The nebula life form in the original Abyss Grand Expedition organization had a similar attitude, saying, "My opinion is the same as that of the Kroll civilization," and then withdrew its consciousness from the meeting system, logging off and disappearing to do who knows where.

Therefore, only thirteen technological civilizations actually participated in this conference.

At this point, the Silverheart Civilization stopped wasting time and, as soon as the secret meeting was announced, went straight to the point, outlining their plans and ideas.

"No, we disagree!" Before the leader of the Silverheart Civilization could finish speaking, the Abyss Civilization, having understood the meaning, jumped out to object: "How can you do this? We, the Abyss Civilization, agreed to merge not to come in and slaughter our fellow civilizations. Those civilizations have been with us for hundreds of millions of years. We've shared joys and sorrows, overcoming countless difficulties to get here. Now you want to wipe them all out with a single sentence like 'Vacuum Zero Energy is dangerous'? How can you bear to do it!"

The leader of the Silver Heart Civilization remained unmoved and even considerately looked after the Abyss Civilization. He said, "It is because I cannot bear to do it that I have asked you to destroy the civilization that originally belonged to our Galactic Great Voyage Organization. You can deal with the civilization that originally belonged to your Great Voyage Organization. They have no feelings for you, so you can surely bring yourself to do it!"

The leader of the Silverheart Civilization's statement is tantamount to acknowledging the Abyss Civilization's "even a tiger wouldn't eat its own cubs" philosophy, but he has proposed the concept of "exchanging children to eat."

At this moment, the leader of the Kroll civilization, seemingly having consulted with his team, stepped forward and stated, "We agree in principle that 'zero-point vacuum energy' is dangerous, but we disagree with harming our comrades."

The leader of the Kroll civilization discussed the dangers of doing so and threatened that if the Silver Heart civilization insisted on going its own way, he would have no choice but to withdraw from the organization and lead the civilization that originally belonged to the Abyss Grand Expedition to leave on its own.

The Abyss Civilization and the Kroll Civilization were in cahoots, and the Abyss Civilization immediately jumped out to support the Kroll Civilization. The Green Sea Civilization, formerly part of the Abyss Grand Expedition Organization, also supported its two former leaders and expressed its opposition.

The Doulei and Memoda civilizations also opposed it, because they feared that if the Galactic Heart civilization succeeded in doing so, they might one day be excluded from the list due to insufficient development potential.

The Daya civilization, on the other hand, seemed indifferent. In any case, their leader had already decided that whatever attitude humanity had, they would follow suit.

The Falcon Civilization expressed its support, probably because none of the 84 civilizations originally belonged to the Falcon Expeditionary Organization. The Aran Civilization also rationally expressed its agreement.

The Flying Feather Civilization and the Divine Mark Civilization share the same attitude; these two civilizations have had a relatively good relationship since the beginning of the Great Voyage.

Because there were too many opposing civilizations, the destruction plan orchestrated by the Galactic Heart civilization could not be carried out. However, the outcome of a meeting clearly could not change the Galactic Heart civilization's ideology, and they remained steadfast in their beliefs.

Finally, the Silverheart Civilization uttered a harsh warning: "Don't regret your actions today when you're wiped out in one fell swoop, just like the Observer Civilization."

From then on, the matter was temporarily shelved.

However, its influence did not disappear. After this incident, the Abyss Civilization, the Kroll Civilization, and the Green Sea Civilization joined forces to provide warp engines to those civilizations whose warp speed was not yet 1024 times the speed of light, with the aim of enabling them to catch up with the main force when leaving the Boötes Great Hollow.

Afterwards, they deliberately kept a great distance from the Silver Heart Civilization, probably because they felt that the Silver Heart Civilization was a dangerous entity.

However, they also knew what they could and could not say, and did not make the contents of the secret meeting public. Otherwise, the 84 civilizations would probably have split into three factions and started fighting before they even left the Great Hollow of Boötes.

The radical faction, represented by the Silver Heart Civilization, also known as the Vacuum Zero Energy "Contract Faction," the "Encouragement Faction," represented by the Abyss and Kroll Civilization, and the "Neutral Faction," represented by the Humans, Awakeners, and Divine Matrix Civilization.

However, the Falcon Civilization somehow miraculously came together with the Galactic Heart Civilization.

It can be said that after this meeting, the Harmonious Starry Sky Grand Expedition Organization, which had been established for less than 100,000 years, began to show signs of splitting up.

Perhaps because everyone's goal is to leave the Boötes Hollow, and they are still aligned in their objectives, and with cosmic catastrophes chasing after them, they are temporarily continuing to exist as a whole.

If things continue like this, the organization will run into problems sooner or later, or it will end up like those Level 7 civilizations of yesteryear, splitting into three factions.

History seems to be repeating itself.

Perhaps that's how those level seven civilizations started fighting back then.

However, times have changed. Back then, the space environment was not as urgent as it is now.

And so, amidst a strange atmosphere, 84 civilizations embarked on their journey once more, setting sail on their return journey through the dazzling galaxy.

As luck would have it, just as the 84 civilizations were beginning their return voyage, the Silver Heart Civilization suddenly detected a signal from behind. Upon closer inspection, they discovered that it was actually a fleet, or more precisely, a Level 6 civilization fleet.

The Level 6 civilization fleet that drifted in from behind was traveling at near-light speed, and it was most likely the civilization that had initially left the main force to conduct research on its own.

Sure enough, as the Galactic Heart Civilization probe continued to approach, it wasn't long before the various civilizations preparing to set sail saw the general outline of that fleet.

It's actually the fleet of the Blue Ocean Civilization!
