The Last Sentinel

"【Weiyang News】The Black Tower Guild announced that, in order to maintain the safety and order of public shipping lanes in the universe and to eliminate hidden space pirate gangs within these lanes, all dark matter channels in the Orion region of the Milky Way will be sealed off starting immediately, including the Grand Line, parts of the Centaur Line, parts of the Hercules Line, and parts of the Corona Borealis Line. The central area of ​​this exercise is the Orion Third Arm Heng System, part of the Dark Matter Grand Line. During the exercise, the entire region will be shielded from signals, the channels will be blocked, jumps will be suppressed, and stargates will be blocked. The details of the exercise are unknown."

"According to a well-informed source who wished to remain anonymous, this exercise is a routine defense drill and is not directed against any civilization, force, or individual. Its purpose is to enhance the security of the dark matter shipping lanes. The specific time of the exercise is yet to be determined, but the blockade will be lifted after the exercise. Relevant units are requested to adjust their navigation plans in advance, avoid the controlled area, and minimize the loss of benefits caused by the exercise."

News flew to various civilizations like snowflakes, and for a time, the Milky Way was unusually free of dissenting opinions, and there was an extraordinary unity and quiet.

All civilizations can see that, on the surface, the Black Tower Guild is not targeting any individual planetary force or civilization.

But in reality, isn't this all aimed at the carbon-based civilization's Red Wasteland secret realm?

The carbon-based civilization had just announced its return to the grand stage of galactic civilizations, intending to participate in galactic affairs and reveal the Sabitian's spoils, the Red Wasteland Trial Realm, to all civilizations.

Immediately afterward, the Black Tower Guild, led by the Gold-based Civilization, announced the blockade of the Orion Star Region, cutting off the Great Path of the Dark Matter World. It was as if they had the annihilation of the Carbon-based Civilization and the sealing of the Red Wasteland Secret Realm written all over their faces.

A direct and sharp conflict between carbon-based and gold-based civilizations is extremely rare in the Unending Era.

There are nine major life sequences in the Milky Way, but these nine life sequences are also ranked. Among them, carbon-based, gold-based, and silicon-based are undoubtedly the top three dominant life sequences!

The last event comparable to this one was when the leader of the Gold-based Civilization descended upon the Silicon-based Origin and forced the Silicon-based Civilization to sign a humiliating treaty, relinquishing the top position in the Milky Way's life sequence!

Will the Gold-based Civilization be able to seal the Red Wasteland Secret Realm in the same way as the Carbon-based Civilization this time?

Hard to say.

The Jinji Civilization is currently the dominant power, controlling the Black Tower and also the highest authority of the Xu Zu, the Elder Council.

The carbon-based civilization's combat record is verifiable; it ended the Sabitian race, and its combat power should not be underestimated.

At this very moment, countless ambitious individuals and busybodies within the Milky Way galaxy have awakened.

Whether it's a gold-based civilization defeating a carbon-based civilization, or a carbon-based civilization defeating a gold-based civilization, it's a good thing for other civilizations. As long as one side falls, other life forms can devour the fallen civilization and rise up quickly!

"Are these useless Sequence Lifeforms dreaming?"

"If the number one and number three in the world were to fight one-on-one, would you lowly martial arts nobodies have the chance to devour their corpses?"

"Bullshit!"

Hua Xiaobai couldn't help but sneer as she watched the various chaotic and confusing expert programs.

Whether it's a carbon-based civilization or a gold-based civilization, neither is easy to mess with. Even if they are enemies, they won't really fight to the last drop of blood, giving a third party an opportunity to take advantage.

There was no animosity between the Gold-based Civilization and the Carbon-based Civilization. They had never even met. At most, the Red Wasteland Secret Realm challenged the Black Tower Trial and stole some of the Black Tower's business, resulting in some conflicts of interest. They did not engage in a life-or-death struggle like the Sabit Star Fleet.

"Hana-kun, Mr. Daniel has arrived."

Hua Xiaobai smiled and said, "They've finally arrived. Please invite Mr. Daniel in."

A blond gentleman with slicked-back hair walked in. "We meet again, Hua Sang."

This man was none other than the golden-skinned nobleman who had previously conned the aristocratic elites alongside Hua Xiaobai.

Hua Xiaobai said, "We're all old friends, so let's skip the pleasantries and get straight to the point. The Jinji Civilization sent you to find me, it must be related to the Orion Channel blockade this time, right?"

"Yes," Daniel said. "To be honest, this time the Black Tower Guild blocked Orion not because the Black Tower Guild wanted to do it, but because we were forced to do it. Please don't resent us, Carbon-based Civilization. We all had no choice."

Hua Xiaobai waved his hand and said, "Stop talking about these pointless things. Let's get straight to the point. The Black Tower Guild sent you here to discuss specifics."

Daniel said, "The Black Tower Guild does not really want to be enemies with the Carbon-based Civilization. After all, the Carbon-based Civilization has made great contributions in defeating the invaders from Sabit Star. Therefore, this confrontation between the Black Tower Guild and the Carbon-based Civilization should be stopped at the point of no return, and it is unnecessary to fight to the death and give other life sequence civilizations a chance! In order to control the scale of this war conflict, we hope that both sides can abide by the following three points."

"First, neither side may deploy god-level experts, or rather, origin-level experts, which includes demigods, pseudo-gods, and other law-level experts."

"Secondly, the battle between the two sides is confined to the Grand Channel of the Dark Matter Universe and does not interfere with the visible universe."

"Thirdly, the highest level of war between the two sides is civilization level 2.0, and weapons of civilization level 2.0 and above are not allowed to be used."

Daniel spread his hands and said, "This is what I wanted to convey to you. I hope you can pass it on to the higher-ups of the carbon-based civilization behind you as soon as possible."

After saying that, Daniel turned to leave.

"Wait!" Hua Xiaobai said, sitting in a chair and smoking. "You've finished conveying your message, but I haven't said mine yet! Our carbon-based civilization also has some ideas about this war!"

Daniel turned around and said, "Please speak."

Hua Xiaobai said, "Carbon-based civilizations are not afraid of any challenge from any life form, whether it's a small-scale exercise or a battle for survival. We welcome all challenges, including the Black Tower's! However, in the tradition of carbon-based civilizations, war must come with bargaining chips; we cannot say that we won a war but got no spoils!"

"Our carbon-based civilization is a polite and cultured civilization. We have only one condition: if you lose this war, then our carbon-based civilization will control the Grand Line!"

Daniel narrowed his golden eyes and said, "What if we defeat them?"

Hua Xiaobai said, "If you lose, it's your game! You can consult the big shots behind you and ask them what kind of bargaining chips they want!"

Daniel closed his eyes for a moment, then opened them and said, "My backer has added a condition: if you lose, he hopes to relocate the Crimson Wasteland into the Black Tower and make it a part of the Black Tower."

"Bullshit!" Hua Xiaobai stomped her foot angrily. "Are the Grand Line and the Crimson Wasteland on the same level? We won, but we only got a Grand Line. You won, but you get our core trial grounds. This is completely unfair!"

Daniel added, "My backer knows you won't agree, so he's given you an extra bargaining chip. If you win, not only will the Grand Line be given to your carbon-based civilization, but the Black Tower is willing to share a desolate region of the universe with the Red Wasteland! You'd better inform your backer of this news and consult with the carbon-based leadership."

Hua Xiaobai's face was gloomy. "Wait, let me consult someone."

Time ticked by, and Hua Xiaobai opened his eyes and said, "My backer has agreed; this bet is settled!"

Daniel snapped his fingers. "How about we head over to Weiyang and draw up a treaty?"

Hua Xiaobai sneered, "A bet between gods, is the Weiyang Covenant even binding?"

Daniel laughed heartily, "That's right, it's a gamble between gods, and Wei Yang really has no power to interfere! As a friend, I personally give Hua-kun one last piece of advice: the invincible fleet on the Grand Line is invincible! You have no chance of winning!"

Hua Xiaobai's lips curled up. "The Sabite aliens said the same thing before, and then they disappeared."

"Well, we'll see!"

I hope you can always keep smiling!
