Voyage of the Stars.

Chapter 1493 Planting a Seed

In particular, the rather wicked Galactic Heart civilization told them that only civilizations with unique technological features could become cosmic-level civilizations. This statement struck the entire high command of the Four-Handed Serpent civilization like a thunderbolt. Fortunately, the Awakener civilization clarified this statement, which helped them recover from their euphoria.

It must be said that the Awakener is quite good to lower-level civilizations. It reminds them to extract their consciousness from the Dream Lyra and tells them that ordinary level six civilizations can also advance, thus restoring some of their fighting spirit.

Yes, it's just a little bit of fighting spirit.

Since learning of the existence of their unique technology and that they were merely an ordinary Level 6 civilization in the eyes of four cosmic-level civilizations, the Four-Handed Serpent civilization has been plagued by self-doubt, questioning the superiority of their race, and engaging in self-examination and reflection.

Civilizations that once traversed the galaxies and overcame countless star systems now find that their achievements are nothing but a joke in the eyes of truly powerful civilizations.

They were originally proud of this, and even thought that such a record would make the four major cosmic civilizations look at them with more respect. They never expected that they were actually so incompetent.

The stark contrast plunged the Four-Handed Serpent civilization into a period of depression, much like someone from a remote area who consistently ranked first in their school every year, only to transfer to a school in Jiangsu and find themselves consistently ranking last in their class.

Frustration and a sense of defeat rushed to my head.

Fortunately, the Four-Handed Serpent civilization did not continue to sink, otherwise it would have been looked down upon by human civilization.

Yes, the Silverheart Civilization doesn't really care about a declining civilization, and the Awakener Civilization would even welcome them if they didn't need to replenish their members right now. The Daya Civilization has even less interest in them.

"Great Awakener, when do you and your companions plan to set sail?" After recognizing reality, the leader of the Four-Handed Serpent Civilization inquired again.

"Soon. We'll wait for the String Piercers to finish their flagship, and then we'll set off. It will probably take tens of thousands of years. If you're in a hurry, you can go back first. Of course, if you don't trust us, you can continue onward," the Awakener Huan said calmly.

"Of course we believe it." The leader of the Four-Handed Serpent Civilization asked with some doubt, "The Dream Lyre isn't finished yet?"

The group of four-armed snakes were shocked to hear that the Dream Lyre was still not finished, feeling that the gap between their technology and that of the String Piper who had never paid much attention to them was like an insurmountable chasm.

Some of the four-handed snakes even thought that if a flagship that was not even finished could entangle them so deeply, wouldn't their entire civilization be wiped out in a single thought once it was completed?

Is that truly the power that technological civilization should possess? Or is it divine intervention?
Just as the four-armed serpents were about to fall into self-doubt again, the representative of the Daya civilization, who was permanently stationed on the public channel, proudly responded: "The Dream Lyra is of course already built. Now the great String Plucker is building its supporting facilities. It is a string-based computer that has reached the limit of finite computing power. It is a super invincible computer that uses the opening and closing strings of the universe as the basic information transmission unit and the 'five aggregates resonance' of superstrings as the core calculation. Only such a computer can perfectly unleash the true combat power of the Dream Lyra!"

String-based computer?
Using strings as the basic unit?
What is the five aggregates resonance of superstring theory?
With just a few words, the representatives of the Daya civilization allowed the scientists of the Four-Handed Serpent to experience a world full of unknown knowledge.

This also made the higher-ups of the Four-Handed Serpent Civilization realize that the String Player should be the strongest being among these four cosmic-level civilizations, as could be heard from the admiring tone of the Daya Civilization representative.

So they are the most powerful beings! No wonder they possess godlike technology!

We were the ones who got attached to appearances!

With this in mind, the leadership of the Four-Handed Serpent Civilization felt much better. At the same time, when they looked at the location of the human civilization fleet, their eyes were filled with awe.

The String Plucker, who plucks the strings of the universe, manipulates all things, and composes the symphony of the universe! This is the description of the String Plucker that the Four-Handed Serpent Civilization summarized from the news it heard from the Daya Civilization, the Silver Heart Civilization, and the Awakener Civilization during this period. It is also their imagination of human civilization.

More than twenty Level 6 civilizations under the leadership of the Four-Handed Serpent Civilization followed their lead. Since the Four-Handed Serpent Civilization did not leave, those civilizations also stayed.

In this way, time passes day by day.

In order to facilitate the departure of the four cosmic-level civilizations from the vast Laniakea Supercluster, the Four-Handed Serpent civilization took advantage of the time while the string-based computer was being built to begin integrating its organization.

They gathered all twenty-odd Level 6 civilizations under their command together and then divided them into four parts, so that the four cosmic-level civilizations could use warp bubbles to carry them away.

The Laniakea Supercluster is no longer habitable; even cosmic-level civilizations are leaving. I'm lucky to have encountered a savior; otherwise, I would have surely perished.

The Four-Handed Serpent Civilization, recognizing reality, made no attempt to be ambiguous and went all out to arrange things according to the requirements of the four cosmic-level civilizations.

At the same time, they are also preparing for a long period of hibernation and will obtain supplies from the four major cosmic civilizations before setting sail.

The reason for supplying the Four-Handed Serpent Civilization and its subordinate civilizations is that the Galactic Heart Civilization does not intend to dock in any star system after setting sail. For safety reasons, they plan to continue sailing in the void until they reach a suitable location, and then abandon the Four-Handed Serpent Civilization and other civilizations.

It doesn't mean abandoning them, but rather leaving them in a vast, empty environment, letting them slowly explore the path to becoming a cosmic civilization on their own.

This was a concession made by the Silverheart Civilization at the suggestion of the Awakener, Illusion.

In reality, if the Galactic Heart civilization had encountered this group of Level 6 civilizations on its own, they most likely wouldn't have taken them away from the Laniakea Supercluster.

The fact that the Four-Handed Serpent Civilization had been taken away was already established, and the Silverheart Civilization was not bothered by it. However, they still adhered to their usual style and revealed a piece of information to the Four-Handed Serpent Civilization.

They secretly told the Four-Handed Serpent civilization a couple of secrets: first, that before the Big Bang, advancing to a cosmic-level civilization did not require a long voyage to the interior of the Great Void; and second, that advancing through the Great Void was a test for a Level 6 civilization by some entity in the universe, and only those who could complete the long voyage were qualified for advancement, and that only one cosmic-level civilization was allowed to be born in a single Great Void.

Clearly, the first message is true, while the second message is only partially true.

The purpose of the Silverheart Civilization in saying this was simple and clear: to plant a seed in the hearts of the Four-Handed Serpents, and when that seed sprouts, there will likely be a bloodbath.

If such a seed is planted in their hearts, it's one thing if the Four-Handed Serpent Civilization's expedition fails completely, but if it does succeed, the Four-Handed Serpent Civilization will surely annihilate all other civilizations.

Humans, the Daya civilization, the Awakeners, and the Star Guardians were all aware of the Galactic Heart civilization's underhanded actions, but they all tacitly approved of them.

The lessons of the Great Voyage to the Stars are still fresh in our minds. Since we have conveyed goodwill to the Four-Handed Serpent Civilization, we certainly don't want them to join the Ruins Returners organization, which even we ourselves haven't joined.

Of course, all of this is based on the premise that the Four-Handed Serpent Civilization can prove itself in the future. If they fail even after being taken to the Great Hollow, it only means that they are not worthy.
