A Colossus rushes in at the start

Chapter 115 This swarm of bees is too proactive

An unknown and powerful civilization...

Galaxy-scale time acceleration regions...

Glowing galactic-scale supermassive objects in the universe...

After combining this information, Lu Shang felt a sudden chill run down his spine as he thought of something that made him shudder.

Quasars are a special type of celestial body in the universe.

Because they emit light and heat similar to stars in observation, humans directly named them "star-like objects," which were later shortened to "quasars."

However, although these celestial bodies emit incredibly intense light, they are not actually stars, because the energy they contain is so terrifyingly vast that a normal star could not possibly reach this scale and would have collapsed into a black hole long ago.

In fact, in human observational theories, quasars are generally considered to be supermassive black holes.

Although black holes do not emit light themselves, they possess powerful gravity. When they violently devour surrounding matter, the matter rubs and collides with each other as it falls rapidly toward the black hole, even crushing atomic nuclei, thus releasing enormous energy and making quasars the most dazzling celestial bodies in the universe.

This is a reasonable speculation, and Lu Shang has held this view in the past as well.

But now, Lu Shang no longer thinks that way.

There is a blind spot in human scientific theories.

This blind spot is the interaction between living organisms and the universe.

When speculating on cosmological models, scientists consciously ignore the physical impact of living organisms on the universe itself, treating it as a dynamic, inanimate object without subjective agency.

Imagine this: on Earth, humans can transform mountains and rivers with human effort; in the universe, it is only natural that they can also transform celestial bodies.

Similarly, other civilizations that existed before humanity would likely have done the same thing. The Star Alliance's Star Mines and the Babel Bee Swarm's current riverine farms are all examples of this.

So why, on a larger scale than the universe, would it be a dynamic, inanimate object without subjective agency?

Lu Shang felt an indescribable sense of chaos, like a fishbone stuck in his throat. If the universe can be changed by life, then what about the relationship between universes?

How terrifying!

Lu Shang couldn't help but mutter to himself, "The light cone has become the best fig leaf."

"Lu Shang, what choice should the swarm make in this matter?" Former Overlord Nanali asked Lu Shang.

When one civilization discovers another, it has only three choices.

The first option is to treat it as hostile and destroy it directly.

The second approach is to try communication, and if cooperation is possible, then cooperation should be pursued.

The third option is to ignore it, treating the other party as a roadside wildflower, weed, or stone.

From a rational perspective, it is indeed very risky to rashly push a powerful civilization to the opposite side without knowing the opponent's specific strength.

The war in the other universe is mainly because the swarm and that universe are separated by a cosmic barrier. Once the wormhole is broken, with the cosmic barrier separating them, neither can find the other.

But this time it's different. This civilization is in the main universe of the Babel swarm, and it's under the same physical rules, so understanding the technology of the swarm isn't a problem.

After careful consideration, Lu Shang decided, "Let's try to communicate."

Lu Shang then gave orders to the planetary creatures of the bee swarm.

"The entire swarm enters the microcosm, ready to enter a state of war at any time. Some planetary creatures use wormholes to make large-scale spatial traversals, entering areas that have not been marked on the swarm's star map. Then, the swarm's eggs are buried in some solid planets without being activated."

"This time, unlike the time in the other universe, the risks are many times greater."

……

In the boundless universe, a group of crystals finally ended their long intergalactic voyage and broke free from their faster-than-light state.

Just as Bahadur was about to command the crystal to enter this galaxy designated by the Great Lord, 1.2 billion light-years away from the Tower of Babel beehive, it suddenly received a message from the Great Lord.

Stop!

Without any resistance or hesitation, Bahadun obeyed its great master's command and immediately ordered the crystal group to cease its journey into the target star system.

However, obeying orders does not mean having no questions. Bahadun did not understand why his master would prevent him from entering the star system that had been planned to be invaded beforehand.

"Question... Why not enter the destination..." Bahadun asked using his psionic powers.

[It has already been occupied; this galaxy has its own master.]

The Void God provided an answer, revealing a psionic marker within Bahadur's psionic network.

This marker was not originally visible to Bahadur, who guessed that the Void God had connected its observational perspective to its psionic network.

That is the symbol of the Brahma people.

In the message from the Void God, Bahadun could vaguely sense a complex emotion.

This emotion was like hostility, yet it also seemed like goodwill, but this goodwill contained a hint of contempt. Bahaduner, who already had doubts, now had even more.

Are the Brahmins enemies or friends?

The great master prevented it from entering the galaxy. Was it because this enemy was incredibly powerful?

What exactly is the origin of this Brahma clan, and why does it evoke such strange emotions in their great master?

"Questions... Brahma... race?... civilization?... enemy?... "

Thinking about it, he asked the question; that's how simple Bachton's thinking was.

The Void God saw through Bahadun's question and answered it.

They originated from my hometown; they were once mortal enemies, but are now allies. We now share common interests.

Former mortal enemies? Now comrades-in-arms? Bahadun seemed to understand why the Void God had such complex emotions.

Leave here and go somewhere else.

The things we must do are not yet finished.

The Void God gave the crystal a new command, and it once again locked onto the coordinates of a galaxy in the void.

Despite still having some unanswered questions, Bahaduner prioritized carrying out the orders given by the Void God.

The crystals, in large quantities, entered a state of faster-than-light travel and disappeared without a trace from the vicinity of this galaxy.

……

no answer.

After making all the preparations, the Babel bees tried various communication methods, including gravitational waves, electromagnetic waves, and even creating giant character patterns outside the time acceleration zone, to express their willingness to communicate with the unknown civilization within the time acceleration zone.

However, after a year of effort, all of them sank without a trace.

The unknown civilization in the time-accelerated zone was like a mute, offering no response whatsoever.

Considering the time acceleration, the bee colony waited for a year, so the time acceleration zone must have experienced a period of time longer than a year.

However, there has been no response from the other party for such a long time.

Alternatively, the bee swarm might not even be qualified to communicate with them in the eyes of the other party.

Alternatively, there might be some other reason or justification that restricts this unknown civilization from communicating with the swarm.

The options now facing the bee colony have changed from communication to two paths: one is to ignore this time-accelerated zone as if it doesn't exist, and the other is to delve deeper and find out exactly what's going on.

After careful consideration, Lu Shang decided to choose the latter option, rushing into the time acceleration zone to see what was going on inside.

If the other party doesn't take the initiative, then the bee swarm should take the initiative!
