A Colossus rushes in at the start

Chapter 138 Freshly Baked Cosmic Creatures

Lu Shang has temporarily abandoned his plan to attack the G universe.

Since the last time they dealt with that spider-like unidentified object outside the universe, the difficulty of the swarm attacking the G universe has increased significantly.

Whenever the swarm carves out a region in the G universe as an occupied territory, those light orbs that call themselves the Divine Guardians will quickly appear nearby, followed by changes in the spacetime structure, causing the wormholes carved out by the swarm to collapse.

The small universes that served as the springboard for the attack were discovered by the enemies of the G universe after the invasion of the light orb. Soon after, these small universes whose coordinates were discovered will face attacks from a large number of unidentified objects from outside the universe.

The swarm isn't necessarily against a direct confrontation, but Lu Shang plans to digest the good stuff he's gained from the G universe first.

Like captured clusters of light, their psionic brains, the swarm has not yet replicated them.

For example, the concept of cosmic life forms, such as bee swarms, still needs further refinement.

Furthermore, after acquiring extraterrestrial observation technology, the bee swarm is finally able to stop being blind and can directly observe the situation outside the main universe.

Lu Shang had not forgotten what the ultimate goal of the bee swarm was.

That is survival; for survival, bee colonies will stop at nothing.

In order to avoid the danger of extinction, bee colonies must constantly expand their detection capabilities, enabling them to see further and know more, so that they can take precautions as early as possible when danger strikes.

……

In the vast universe, Lu Shang, using the visual organs of the bee swarm, observes the cosmic background.

The universe viewed from the perspective of swarms of bees is quite peculiar. Aurora-like bands are visible everywhere in the universe, which is completely different from the universe as seen from a human perspective.

All this is because the swarm of bees connected to Lu Shang's vision can see a wider spectrum than humans.

Therefore, the universe presents a different picture.

In fact, if Lu Shang wanted to, he could gain the ability to see a wider spectrum without relying on other bee colony creatures, but Lu Shang himself was very resistant to having his body artificially modified.

That way, he would always feel like he was no longer himself.

While appreciating the cosmic wonders from this unique perspective, Lu Shang unknowingly received reports from other bee-like creatures in the bee colony network.

"Everything is ready," the planetary creature said.

Lu Shang nodded and ordered, "Then let's begin. I can't wait."

"OK."

In the vast universe, in the empty region between galaxies, a group of planetary beings gathered and used psychic energy to warp spacetime, transforming a piece of spacetime in the main universe into a closed microcosm.

These planetary beings entered this microcosm and were evenly distributed in every corner of it.

With Lu Shang's command, these planetary beings simultaneously unleashed their spiritual energy, activating the entire microcosm.

It moved at superluminal speed along the outer wall of the main universe with great agility, sometimes stopping abruptly, sometimes moving at extremely high speeds outside the universe, and even dancing gracefully along the outer wall of the main universe at Lu Shang's request.

After various tests, the latest colony biology of the Babel Tower bee colony has been freshly released!

Cosmic beings!

To put it simply, these beings are essentially a group of planetary beings trapped within a small universe, allowing these planetary beings to completely control the small universe through psychic energy, making the small universe function as if it were alive.

In other words, a microcosm of planetary life.

Planetary life forms are also giant, united organisms formed by a large number of individual bee-like organisms, while cosmic life forms are a further integration of these giant, united organisms.

……

The first batch of cosmic creatures created by the swarm received orders from Lu Shang to spread out of the universe and, while exploring, draw star maps of the universe for the swarm.

Beyond the universe, these cosmic beings, whose bodies are made of microcosms, spread out like fireworks. Every so often, they emit a large number of ultra-microscopic microcosms. These microcosms change when they collide with objects outside the universe, thus outlining the landscape outside the universe.

After some exploration, the Babel bee swarm discovered many universes.

However, these universes are not the G universe or the alternate universe that the swarm had previously invaded.

The method of identification is very easy. Just confirm the physical laws and spacetime structure inside these universes, and you can easily identify whether these universes are the G universe or other universes that the swarm once invaded.

Besides the universe, there are many other strange and wonderful things.

In a sense, these things are also part of the universe, and it is impossible for anything other than the universe to exist outside of it.

After the swarm locked onto several targets and opened microscopic wormholes to explore their interiors, it was confirmed that structurally, they were no different from the universe in the general sense.

But they are both cosmic entities and living beings, or perhaps mobile vehicles.

Clearly, the swarm is not the only civilization that has considered transforming the universe into a body or a controllable vehicle. In fact, long before the Babel swarm was created, a large number of civilizations had already thought of doing so.

In the universe, no matter how fast you are, there are always things faster than you, and no matter how slow you are, there are always things slower than you, not to mention the countless other universes beyond our own.

A civilization of this scale, even if only one in a trillion could do this, would be enough to make the outside world extremely lively.

Besides these, there are some very special things—natural cosmic life.

The structure of the universe is incredibly diverse. Some rules are 1+1=3, some are 1+1=A, and some are simply a bunch of random codes. With the thinking of Lu Shang and bee swarm, it is impossible to understand what kind of laws those are.

In such an endless universe, a group of naturally born cosmic life forms will be born.

The civilizations and races living within these naturally occurring cosmic life forms are extremely tragic, because they too must follow their mother universe and experience its birth, aging, sickness, and death.

Only when these cosmic life forms are ready to reproduce will the civilization within them have a chance to continue, as they will transfer the seeds of civilization into the young cosmic life forms.

It's unclear whether there are any limitations, but it seems that the civilizations and races within these cosmic life forms cannot separate themselves from their parent universe.

Among the more than 13,700 samples observed by the bee colony, there was not a single case where an internal civilization abandoned the cosmic life that served as the mother universe, searched for lifeless universes on its own, and developed independently.

Just as Lu Shang was preparing to let the swarm of cosmic creatures explore a wider area beyond the universe, the Guiyi Civilization came looking for them.

"Are you asking us to help find life again?" Lu Shang asked enthusiastically.

Thanks to the extraterrestrial observation technology provided by the Unity Civilization, the Babel Tower swarm experienced a technological explosion, even creating extraterrestrial life forms capable of moving freely outside the universe.

To put it in a more pragmatic way, the Unity Civilization was practically a huge financial backer!

The Unity Civilization said, "No, I am representing the Cosmic Union to seek an alliance with your Babel Tower Swarm."

Lu Shang was taken aback, then frowned. The other meaning of fulfilling the offensive and defensive alliance was that there was another universe preparing to invade the main universe where the swarm was located.

The Unity Civilization explained, "You invaded Universe G before, and now they're preparing to invade us in return."

After a moment's thought, Lu Shang asked, "What is the Cosmic Union's attitude? Do they want us to be the main force?"

Guiyi Civilization said, "Don't think too much about it. The war with the G Universe is inevitable sooner or later. They have been plotting to destroy our universe. Whether you invade the G Universe or not, the result will be the same."

"Outside the universe, there is no place for reason; absolute power is absolute correctness."
