A Colossus rushes in at the start

Chapter 153 This swarm of bees only wants to move forward.

The Unity Civilization is dead; the discoverer was a swarm's mastermind.

Originally, the swarm's mastermind was ordered by Lu Shang to go to one of the Guiyi Civilization's settlements and conduct cultural communication between the civilizations.

The purpose of doing this is, of course, that Lu Shang hopes to use this method to help the bee colony expand its knowledge and discover things that have never been discovered before or have been overlooked.

After all, even Lu Shang himself couldn't guarantee that he hadn't overlooked anything during the thinking process and that he could comprehensively guide the bee colony to grow and thrive.

However, when the planetary beings that the mastermind directed to make contact arrived at a time-accelerated region of the Oneness Civilization, they were not greeted by the Oneness Civilization.

At first, the mainframe thought that the Unity Civilization had forgotten about their relationship with the Swarm, or that something had happened internally that had delayed their diplomatic affairs with the Swarm.

Therefore, they kept trying to establish contact with the unified civilization, but to no avail.

When the mainframe had no other choice, it simply ordered the planetary beings to open a wormhole and enter a time-accelerated zone of the Unity Civilization.

What we saw was a scene of ruins within the time-accelerated area, just like the galaxy-level time-accelerated area that the swarm had first discovered...

Mastermind Moston said, "In other words, you don't have direct evidence that the Unity Civilization has perished."

The mastermind, acting as the discoverer, retorted: "No, everything within the time-accelerated region is the evidence."

"If the Unity Civilization has no problems, and the problem only arises within their time-accelerated region, then the Unity Civilization will inevitably contact the Swarm, because they know that the Swarm will come to visit them."

"And even now, the swarm has been unable to make contact with the Guiyi Civilization."

The mastermind explained its reasoning, and Kasha, Nunnally, and the other masterminds agreed with the other party's judgment.

However, another faction, led by Moston and Grana, believed that the Unity Civilization would not perish so easily. After all, it was not much weaker than the Swarm and possessed many technologies that the Swarm had not mastered.

If it weren't for the extraterrestrial observation technology provided by the Guiyi Civilization, even creating extraterrestrial life forms capable of moving freely in the universe would be a challenge for the bee swarm.

Such a powerful civilization, even if it really faces destruction, wouldn't it leave behind some seeds of civilization for itself?

That's impossible, isn't it?

That's what Moston, Grana, and their ideas were.

Lu Shang ended the mainbrains' debate; he had a more direct way to confirm whether the Unity Civilization was still alive.

"Stop this pointless discussion."

"To confirm whether the unified civilization still exists, it's very simple, just ask the Cosmic Union."

Upon hearing Lu Shang's words, the debate within the swarm network ceased.

Lu Shang informed the Cosmic Union about the time acceleration region under the jurisdiction of the Guiyi Civilization, and the member civilizations of the Cosmic Union immediately launched an investigation upon learning of it.

Ultimately, the information Lu Shang received was consistent with the judgment deduced by the mastermind, who was the discoverer.

The unified civilization perished.

It was a complete and utter annihilation, an annihilation that left no seed of civilization behind.

If the swarm's own judgment might be wrong, then the fact that so many member civilizations in the cosmic alliance make the same judgment means it's practically infallible.

"It seems it really is destroyed." Lu Shang sighed with mixed feelings.

There was both regret and an unspeakable unease. The Unity Civilization was no weaker than the Swarm Creatures. In the previous G Universe War, it was a civilization of the same level that could fight alongside the Swarm.

Such a powerful civilization was destroyed suddenly and silently.

It feels like waking up to find your neighbor, whom you were chatting and laughing with yesterday, suddenly dead in your own home.

This is terrible!

Nanali asked, "What caused the destruction?"

Lu Shang said, "The Cosmic Union just found out too, and they are investigating as well."

"However, judging from the initial traces detected, it is highly likely that it self-destructed."

Self-destruction; the previous order maintainer also perished through self-destruction.

The swarm of bees then remembered that after being attacked by an alien civilization, the various member civilizations of the cosmic alliance lost their desire to learn about the unknown, and their civilization development stagnated.

Civilization progresses against the current; if you don't advance, you fall behind.

The previous Order Keeper failed to solve its own problems and instead perished. It is highly likely that the Unity Civilization is repeating the experience of the previous Order Keeper.

"Self-destruction... Could it be that one day, the bee colony will also..." Moston worried.

Because the Unity Civilization is at a similar level to the Swarm, the Masterminds can easily connect the Unity Civilization to the Swarm itself.

Could it be that one day, for some unknown reason, the bee colony will eventually perish?

Nunnally interrupted Moston's hesitant remarks with displeasure, "The swarm won't. The swarm can keep moving forward. As long as it moves fast enough, death can't catch up with it."

Lu Shang didn't want to continue this topic with the mainframes, because no matter how much they discussed it, there would be no result.

He then asked the rabbi, "How's the microcosm farm going?"

Rabbi, who had been in charge of the psionic breeding program, reported to Lu Shang after hearing his inquiry: "It's already under construction, and it will be operational in a few days."

Lu Shang nodded: "Very good, this can't be delayed."

Deep down, Lu Shang shared the same idea as Nanali: he believed that technology could determine everything, and as long as the swarm continued to advance, it would one day overcome even death.

At that time, they will be truly immortal!

If eternity truly exists, then the bee colony must become that eternal existence!

Rabbi hesitated for a moment, then said to Lu Shang, "Recently, I've come up with a completely new farming model. I hope to conduct an experiment to verify its effectiveness."

"If this model succeeds, then the bee colony will no longer need to repeatedly destroy the psionic creatures in the breeding area, and the psionic creatures will continue to improve their psionic level."

Upon hearing this, Lu Shang immediately became interested.

"Oh?"

Lu Shang asked, "Is the risk high?"

The rabbi replied, "Theoretically, it's not a big deal, but to prevent any accidents, the necessary force is still needed."

It reported this to Lu Shang in order to request a batch of armed forces to guard against unknown risks; otherwise, Rabi could have completed the experiment himself.

Lu Shang approved, "Then you can command a group of galaxy-sized planetary creatures. The process doesn't matter; the swarm only needs the result."

Forward, forward, forward!

Advance by any means necessary!

You can't turn back, you can't stop, there's an abyss behind you!

It's a regression of civilization, an approach of destruction!
