Our great nation of China traverses the multiverse.

The pitch-black universe returned to silence.

But in this silence

Just now, a wandering civilization died silently within its borders.

Until a very, very long time later,

As fellow members of the Star Covenant, probes from another civilization searched for any movement and came looking for them.

When they arrive,

They simply erected a monument in memory of the Argonautical civilization.

That's all they can do.

Because this is a chaotic realm.

The unlucky and weak deserve only death!

……

Safe Zone, amidst shattered stars,

Following Stroe's information, Fang Jing and Zhou Yuan visited more than a dozen civilizations.

The two then returned with somber expressions.

"how is the situation?"

Seeing the expressions on their faces, Wu Tong's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly asked what was wrong.

"Zhou and I visited a thousand intelligent beings on the verge of death in the shattered stars. The situation is very bad. Thirty percent of them have experienced the same situation as Skastrobabera. Here is the list."

Fang Jing took a deep breath and handed the list to Wu Tong.

Thirty percent!

This number is already quite large!

"Let me see!"

Stroe leaned closer, glanced at the list, and then flapped his wings sharply!

Don't misunderstand,

He wasn't trying to run away; it's just that Stroe likes to do that when he's excited.

It's roughly the same principle as a human gasping for breath and their pupils suddenly contracting.

"what have you found?"

Wu Tong turned his head to look at Stroe, and his lips twitched.

Goodness, when this guy gets excited, he can't hide it at all.

“If it were just Barbera, things would be a bit complicated, but now that there are so many examples, I can already deduce some things!”

Stro calmed himself down and said somewhat solemnly:

"These 30% of people who experienced abnormalities have one thing in common: most of them purchased consciousness energy conversion technology from the Alliance!"

"?!"

Heard this news,

Wu Tong suddenly looked up, his eyes fixed on Stroe, and hurriedly asked:

"Is there a problem with the energy conversion technology sold by the alliance?"

"No, it's not that the Alliance's energy conversion technology is faulty. The version that the Alliance is selling is one that a wandering civilization found in a shattered star field. Even the Arnoff civilization uses this version."

Stroe corrected Wu Tong's mistake.

However, he had some doubts:

"You didn't observe this phenomenon in the Arnoff civilization?"

"No, there is no such strange fluctuation in their consciousness."

Wu Tong shook his head firmly.

"Perhaps there are other contributing factors, such as..."

This is where Stroe's knowledge is lacking.

From his perspective after spending so much time in Shattered Star, this is the only difference between these three layers of intelligent beings and the other seven layers.

But then the Arnoff civilization emerged.

Alyost,

Your civilization is fucking awful!

"Perhaps it's... a portal!"

At this moment, Fang Jing at the door was intermittently displaying his "superior intelligence" to its maximum.

He realized something: the difference between the Arnoff civilization and these three civilizations!

Spatial portal!

Chapter 723 Hearing the Dao in the Morning, One Can Live Without Dying

"A spatial portal?"

Stroe raised an eyebrow and murmured to himself:

"After getting the machine, that guy Alyost bought the energy conversion technology on the black market and then left."

"After that, they never returned here, nor did they ever go to the Alliance."

"If there's any difference, it's definitely in passing through a spatial portal, but... what can a spatial portal do?"

"!"

After listening to Fang Jing's and Stroe's analyses,

Wu Tong understood!

It's all about the portal!

If it's a real portal or a wormhole, then there's no problem.

But is this portal from the Alliance even normal?

This is an express highway built in subspace!

The portal itself is flawed!

"Good heavens, one thing leads to another, one layer leads to another. That bastard from the Alliance, he's got some serious tricks up his sleeve!"

Until this point,

Wu Tongcai finally understood what the alliance was doing.

That makes sense now!

Leaving aside the question of how the subspace came about,

Light is transmitted through subspace, and this is not just to save energy!

Combined with energy conversion technology,

After those intelligent beings died, their consciousness actually... corroded their bodies!

How many intelligent beings die on a shattered planet every day?

Stroe's answer was...

160 million!

And in the entire area governed by the alliance, the number of intelligent beings that die every day is as high as tens of billions!

Some civilizations were wiped out in large swaths!

Some civilizations are expanding exponentially every day!

One generation died.

Another batch has grown up!

"I can't even imagine where these corrosive things have gone!"

Wu Tong simply dared not think about it further.

Think carefully!

Does the league even know what it's doing?

Do they want to find the source of the corrosive entities, or do they want to cultivate a large number of corrosive entities and kill themselves?

"Those markings... the Alliance will definitely use them to find out where the transformed corrupted entities went!"

Fang Jing remembered those markings.

From this perspective,
