Voyage of the Stars.

Chapter 1539 Conversation
The Great Voyage Organization comprises four civilizations. The human civilization, like the Awakener civilization, attempts to use its technological capabilities to determine whether the two are truly communicating, and then tries to listen to them.

The Silver Heart civilization also noticed some clues, but the Daya civilization remained calm and composed, because they knew they definitely couldn't detect anything.

As a god-level civilization, if we don't want them to hear, how can several civilizations easily hear us?

As for Yue Yuan, after entering the third-person driving mode, he did feel a slight flow of membrane information, just like other drivers, but he could not quite capture it.

Although everyone was still trying to listen and hadn't given up, they all knew it was difficult to hear what was going on. If they really wanted to know, they would probably have to wait until they finished talking and ask the Star Guardians.

However, even the Star Guardians themselves might not know.

Based on previous events and this latest development, it has been confirmed that the four civilizations—human civilization, the Awakeners, the Galactic Heart civilization, and the Daya civilization—can definitely convey some information through the Star Guardians, although the latter may genuinely be unaware of it.

The upgrade of the Star Guardians was most likely the work of the Dayan Civilization.

Therefore, the emergence of the Star Guardians might be influenced by the guidance of the Da Yan civilization. Thinking about it this way, everyone suddenly realized that they were still within the calculations of a god-level civilization, and perhaps all of this was part of the Da Yan civilization's plan.

When the Degenerate Civilization was encountered, the Star Guardians' decision to keep human civilization hidden in the microscopic world and not to come out might have been at the behest of the Great Evolution Civilization.

Thinking about this, the leaders of the civilization felt uneasy, but upon reflection, it seemed better than joining the Returners or the Restarters.

Now, the Star Defenders or the Great Evolution Civilization have also stepped forward, essentially making their intentions clear: to protect the four civilizations.

This can also be seen as a cover-up for Yue Yuan's previous attempts to exaggerate and create a false impression.

So what exactly is this god-like civilization in the universe doing?

Are they really saving the universe?

Or is there another explanation?
Perhaps only a god-level civilization would know, just as a level 6 civilization would not know that the one who destroyed the galaxy inside the KBC Great Void was the Returning Void, nor would it know that it perished in an experimental field of a god-level civilization.

Regardless, everyone hopes to know those secrets. From a basic value perspective, humanity still hopes that those god-like civilizations are truly saving the universe, which is why they and the Awakener went to great lengths to eavesdrop.

Unfortunately, they couldn't hear anything, but they could confirm that the two sides were indeed communicating.

What's the situation for you now?

In a place undetectable by the four civilizations, there was a clear flow of information, and the two sides seemed to have reached a partial agreement, and were now talking as if they were having a normal chat.

"We've reached the edge of the universe."

"The edge of the universe? Does such a thing really exist? Is it really possible to reach it?"

"From a macroscopic perspective, our universe is indeed finite and boundless. Logically speaking, if we keep going in one direction, we will eventually return to the starting point, just like the Möbius strip and the Klein bottle structure. But we can go to the end."

"What's there?"

"Vacuum decay!" "What?!?!"

"Didn't I make myself clear? Vacuum decay!"

"This"

"Wait, let's take a moment. You mean, at the farthest, most extreme distance of the expanding universe, or in other words, at infinity, where is the region of vacuum decay?"

"Yes, we have caught up with the first ray of light from the Big Bang, but ahead of that ray lies an endless expanse of nothingness. The expansion of our universe has long surpassed the speed of light; spacetime has already outpaced light, and it is still accelerating its expansion. We are trying to cross the edge of light to reach infinity."

"So you encountered the vacuum decay barrier?"

"Yes, we are looking for a way to bypass the vacuum decay region, but what makes us despair is that we have almost circled most of the universe, we have traveled more than halfway ahead of light, and we still cannot find even a crack. The more we explore, the more desperate we become."

"make it clear."

"Okay, I think we've made ourselves clear enough. Maybe it's because we've been away from the universe for too long, and our way of looking at and understanding things is different from yours. Let's put it this way: there are three things. One is certain, but we can't be sure about the other two."

"We're listening!"

"Okay, the first thing is that after we passed the first ray of light, the spacetime rules in that region are different from those in the larger universe. The warp drive rules have completely changed. It's not about the normal speed; it's that that region doesn't have the concept of the speed of light at all, because the concept of light hasn't reached there. So, it seems that the speed of light doesn't exist there. Our arrival seems to have brought the concept of light to that region. Do you understand what we mean?"

“I understand. What you mean is that even if you cross the end of light, it’s just an illusion. In reality, even if you yourselves don’t emit light, the warships and aircraft you carry will still have the sensation of light, because they are matter. Matter is related to light. But there is no light at all in front of the light there. So you didn’t surpass the first ray of light, but rather pushed the first ray of light forward.”

"Well, that's the second thing. We're not so sure, but we're definitely in the lead-up to the first ray of light right now, at least that's what we, as the people involved, think."

"Okay, so you're not just trying to tell us that warp speeds are impossible in space at the very tip of the first ray of light, are you?"

"Of course not. Those are just established basic rules. It's a world without light, but it's different from the 'no light' in the larger universe. It's not darkness, but rather physical rules without the participation of light. It's amazing, and we don't know how to explain it to you."

"Is this the third thing you mentioned?"

"Yes, we're not quite sure yet."

"How to say?"

"Yes, we are looking for a way to cross that vacuum decay region. At first, we wanted to find a gap in it and go around it, but as we explored further, we discovered a despairing fact: that vacuum decay region is not 'that region' at all, but a vast region that surrounds our entire universe. It is ahead of the first ray of light, and our entire ever-expanding universe is completely enveloped by it. This is obviously despairing news, and we hope it is not true."

Hopefully it's not true, but considering the accounts before and after the Great Evolution Civilization, the Rebooter thinks it's highly likely to be true.

The entire universe was enveloped in vacuum decay, which was truly hopeless. Even so, the Dayan civilization still tried to overcome it. However, it was vacuum decay, a vacuum decay in which there was absolutely no possibility of extracting energy. How could it be overcome?

Moreover, we don't even know how big that area is.

Moreover, if the vacuum decay region truly envelops the entire accelerating expanding universe, wouldn't that mean that measuring the universe is impossible?
