A Colossus rushes in at the start

Chapter 156 The Swarm Mastermind is Too Suspicious

Rabbi denied it, saying, "He doesn't know anything about the bee colony."

Lu Shang retorted, "Are you sure?"

The rabbi replied, "Yes, he has no way of knowing everything about the swarm; prophecy is the domain of God."

Since the bee colony brought in microscopic organisms comparable to neutrinos into the microcosm farm, the bee colony has essentially gained a God-like monitoring device, monitoring and recording all the information in the entire microcosm farm.

If needed, the swarm can even capture material information from a specific time period and meticulously replicate another identical microcosm farm by piling up particles one by one.

The rabbi reviewed all the information about Brahma and found no way or possibility of obtaining information about the bee colony.

Without a causal link, obtaining swarm information in this situation would be illogical.

After thinking about it, since this psionic creature called Di Fantian couldn't pose any threat to the bee swarm, Lu Shang didn't take it too seriously.

Lu Shang still remembered the reason he contacted the rabbi this time.

"Then let's talk about something serious," Lu Shang said.

"Based on your understanding of psychic energy, I would like to ask you to determine whether there is any connection between the demise of the Unity Civilization and psychic energy itself?"

The sudden demise of the Guiyi Civilization was a heavy burden on Lu Shang's heart.

After communicating with the member civilizations of the Cosmic Union, he became increasingly convinced that the destruction was caused by the psionic technology tree that the Bee had swapped with.

Lu Shang couldn't understand why the psionic technology tree would lead to self-destruction.

The rabbi asked curiously, "Why would you think that?"

From the rabbi's perspective, he didn't see any connection between the demise of the Unity Civilization and psionic energy.

In its perception, psionic energy is safe and harmless, after all, the bee colony has been using psionic energy for so many years.

If the swarms can abuse psionic energy so much and nothing happens to them, how could the Unity Civilization possibly have perished because of psionic energy?

Lu Shang sighed and said, "The day before the Guiyi Civilization perished, it took the psionic technology tree from the Hive, and the very next day it accelerated time by ten million years and perished. I ask you, why don't I think that way?"

Before encountering the swarm, the Unity Civilization thrived. After encountering the swarm, the Unity Civilization continued to thrive. However, the day after the swarm replaced the psionic technology tree, the Unity Civilization was gone.

If it's said that it has nothing to do with the psionic technology tree that was swapped with the bees...

Isn't the timing of this event a bit too coincidental?

It was this "coincidence" that made Lu Shang very suspicious that something happened during the process of the Guiyi Civilization researching and absorbing the psionic technology tree, which led to the eventual self-destruction of the entire civilization.

Rabbi said, "But psionic energy is harmless. The swarm has been using it for a long time. Unless the psionic individual itself shows a willingness to harm, it is unlikely to cause the destruction of a civilization."

The changes in psionic energy depend entirely on the user's will; rather than being a biological ability, psionic energy is more like a tool.

If the Oneness Civilization truly perished because of psychic energy, in the rabbis' view, it's only possible that the entire Oneness Civilization wanted to commit suicide, so it used psychic energy as a tool for suicide.

Rabbi's reasoning was precisely what puzzled Lu Shang; he couldn't understand how the Unity Civilization could perish because of psionic energy.

Lu Shang said, "That's what I can't understand. The swarm has been researching psionic energy for so long, and we haven't seen any risk that could lead to the destruction of a civilization. So why did the Unity Civilization perish?"

The rabbi thought for a moment and made a very bold guess.

"Could it be that those survivors left over from the G universe have discovered some new way of using psychic energy, allowing them to trace their origins and return for revenge?"

Lu Shang shook his head habitually: "If they want revenge, they should retaliate against the Swarm first, not the Unity Civilization. The Swarm has a greater grudge against them. At most, the Unity Civilization attacked their universe, but the Swarm wiped out their entire universe in one fell swoop."

Rabbi's conjecture is completely untenable. If it really was the work of survivors from the G universe, the swarm would definitely not have escaped unscathed and would certainly have been implicated as well.

Moreover, in terms of hatred, survivors of the G universe are more likely to prioritize attacking the swarm.

The Unity Civilization only invaded the G Universe, while the Swarm was the culprit that destroyed the entire G Universe.

Instead of seeking revenge on the culprit, they went to seek revenge on an enemy with whom they didn't have as much hatred. That doesn't make much sense logically.

It can't be that they're picking on the weak, can it?

This makes no sense at all. The difference in strength between the Swarm and the Unity Civilization is not that great. What the Swarm can do, the Unity Civilization can also do without the aid of psionic energy.

If the G Universe hadn't applied its strategies and tactics correctly back then, knowing to recklessly open wormholes to connect with other universes and provoke hatred from the civilizations of the Cosmic Union, the G Universe would have been overthrown by the civilizations of the Cosmic Union long ago.

As he spoke, Lu Shang added, "Besides, how did they know that the Guiyi Civilization had just acquired the Swarm's psionic technology tree?"

If we rule out attacks, then there's only one possible outcome.

The rabbi asked uncertainly, "So, the only outcome is self-destruction?"

Lu Shang replied without denying it: "The judgment of each member civilization of the Cosmic Union is also self-destruction, but according to this logic, it can only be self-destruction in terms of psionic energy."

Although the judgment of the Cosmic Union may also be wrong, the probability is very low.

With so many advanced civilizations, they can't all be blind.

After racking his brains for a long time, the rabbi replied helplessly, "I cannot imagine that psychic energy could lead to the self-destruction of a civilization. As far as I know, psychic energy is harmless."

"Alright, I'll go ask the other mainframes."

With that, Lu Shang disconnected from Rabi's swarm connection and began communicating with the other mainframes.

……

The universe is not all spherical. In the cosmic ocean beyond the universe, some are like squares, some like pieces of paper, and some are indescribably shaped.

"Great immortality, your faithful servant has found you a place to eat."

A pale blue plasma, in front of a large vortex in the universe, releases wisps of weak electromagnetic waves.

After a period of time, the vortex responded with extremely strong high-frequency electromagnetic wave information.

"Where?"

"There, you see, is a newborn universe where you can have a feast."

As he spoke, a field tentacle of the pale blue plasma pointed out a direction. This direction was not three-dimensional, but superdimensional, capable of directly indicating a direction in the cosmic ocean.

Extending in this direction, there exists a newly formed universe that is still in its infancy.

The vortex replied with great satisfaction.

"well done."

"Tell the other servants that when I am eating, nothing else should disturb me. After I have eaten from two more universes, I will be reborn and freed from my old body."

The powerful high-frequency electromagnetic waves, carrying information, continuously washed over the pale blue plasma at its edge.

This caused the plasma to flicker and sway like a candle in the wind, its light changing intermittently.

However, the pale blue plasma didn't seem to care about any of this. Upon hearing the reply from the vortex, it excitedly responded.

"Yes! Great immortality! For our shared rebirth and continuation, rest assured, we, your servants, will clear all obstacles from your path!"
