A Colossus rushes in at the start

Chapter 211 This Civilization's Psionic Awakening

The Vorsotis Galaxy is the origin of the Babel Tower bee swarm, and is considered the most well-known part of the universe among bee-like organisms.

Therefore, the investigation into the Lupu civilization yielded results in just a few days.

The Lupu civilization, due to its culture, history, and ethnicity, did not have the concept of a nation-state, but rather a social framework composed of a family-based political system.

It can also be understood that a family in the Lupu civilization was equivalent to a country, with the collateral branches of the family being the lower class and the direct branches being the upper class of the powerful and wealthy. Even the smallest family had tens of millions of people.

The theory of bloodline was quite prevalent in the Lupu people's society. This was beneficial for the upper class to rule the lower class. When each lower class rebelled against the upper class and seized power, they would spare no effort to promote and prove that their bloodline was direct. However, for various reasons, they were mistakenly regarded as collateral bloodlines.

The Lupu civilization has many such families. On each administrative planet, there are always many such large families in a complex and intertwined manner. Their entire civilization is a family-based democratic society composed of families as the basic social units.

Of course, these are not the main points. The main point is what happened to the people of Lupu fifteen years ago.

Starting fifteen years ago, various families of the Lupu civilization began to discover that their family members were awakening psychic powers.

Yes, the awakening was not bestowed by anyone, but rather these Lupu people woke up one day to the astonishment of discovering that they could use psychic powers.

Although it doesn't even reach the level of a bee colony's first-level psionic energy, being extremely weak, it does indeed possess psionic energy.

This change naturally attracted great attention from the decision-makers of the Lupu civilization. After all, with the Babel Bees setting an example of using psionic energy to crush the Star Alliance and various other universes, if they could unlock the mysteries of psionic energy, perhaps the Lupu people could also conquer the stars like the Babel Bees.

Thus, all the major families within the entire Lupu civilization, without even holding a meeting to discuss it, tacitly pretended not to know about it and secretly carried out their research on psychic energy.

Unfortunately, like many civilizations before it, the Lupu civilization's research on psychic energy was completely useless. Researchers were unable to find any connection between psychic beings of different levels.

After much research, they could only attribute the psionic problem to genes.

Because of these genes, they possess such spiritual power. As for why these genes manifest spiritual power, they simply cannot understand it.

The Lupu people were hopeless and couldn't figure anything out, but their psychic energy voluntarily "gifted" them changes.

As time went on, the Lupu civilization gradually discovered that the number of psychic awakened individuals within their civilization was surging.

The psychic individuals who had awakened were experiencing an increase in their psychic power, but the effect of this increase varied from person to person. For example, Lani, the eldest daughter of the Baslock family, was one of those who experienced a significant increase, reaching the level of level ten psychic power.

Throwing people into space would allow for faster-than-light travel without the aid of space vehicles.

This change surprised and delighted the people of Lupu, but it also made them even more hesitant to reveal the matter.

If the Babel bees found out, the entire Lupu civilization might be captured and used as experimental subjects.

In fact, the collective concealment by the Lupu people was completely useless. The swarm had been setting up a microscopic biological surveillance network in the Fusotis Galaxy, but it was not as tight as the Civilized Farm. After all, the Civilized Farm accelerated time, but the Fusotis Galaxy did not, so the surveillance was naturally not as strong.

The small number of microscopic organisms monitoring the Lupu civilization were simply assumed to be part of the Lupu people's psychic research, and the emergence of a group of psychic creatures was quite normal. The bee swarm had already researched psychic energy to level 90 or higher, while the Lupu people, whose highest level of psychic energy was only level 10, were not worth paying attention to.

And so the matter was simply overlooked by the bee colony.

Just as the Lupu people were secretly rejoicing as they watched their spiritual power grow stronger every day, more and more Lupu people began to have the same dream.

This dream is related to the extinct Guiyi civilization.

When the Lupu people fell asleep, they found themselves in another strange world.

Because it is a space that people enter every time they fall asleep, the Lupu people call it the "Dream World".

The dream world is a bizarre and fantastical world with its own set of independent physical rules, where thoughts and energy can have equal effects.

For example, breaking a large rock.

The explosives inside the cannon barrel detonate, releasing energy and giving the cannonball kinetic energy, which can then shatter large rocks.

An ordinary person with little strength can shatter a large rock by constantly strengthening their personal will and wielding a punch that would otherwise be insufficient to break it.

Because of these bizarre phenomena, many Lupu people initially took the dream world as a dream. However, the reality was far beyond their expectations. The injuries they sustained in the dream world did not disappear when they woke up, and if a Lupu person died in the dream world, that person would truly die.

Later, the Lupu people, who had honed their personal will in the dream world for a period of time, were surprised to find that they could open a wormhole to other universes in the dream world solely through their personal will.

The first wormhole opened by the Lupus was the one connecting to the spacetime of their own universe. After confirming that the Dream World was a real universe, they never opened wormholes again, because they did not want the Babel Swarm to know about the existence of the Dream World, nor did they want to share it with other civilizations. They hoped to possess it exclusively and then use the Dream World as an opportunity to develop a powerful civilization comparable to, or even surpassing, the Babel Swarm.

What followed was basically a story about the Lupus people's exploration of the dream world.

Why did so many evil gods emerge in the dream world because of evil thoughts? Why did the dream world contain not only evil gods but also the true god of the Lupu people's religious beliefs because of religious beliefs? Why did the dream world transform from order to chaos because the collective thoughts of the Lupu people were too complex? Let's ignore these for now.

The Lupus discovered some stable and unchanging areas in the dream world that would not change due to individual will, meaning that will and energy are no longer equivalent.

These places were called anchor points by the Lupus, and colonies were then established at these anchor points.

As the Lupu people explored the anchor points, they gradually discovered that these anchor points themselves were not actually stable. What stabilized these areas were the buildings left behind by the unified civilization.

This discovery shocked all the Lupu people who knew about it.

Through the information channel of the Babel Hive, the Star Alliance knew some things about the Cosmic Union.

Among these were reports of the destruction of the Unity Civilization. The things left behind by such a vanished civilization are of immeasurable value.

The opportunity for a great leap forward in civilization as a whole was just around the corner, and the collective enthusiasm of the Lupu people was ignited. They worked even harder to explore the buildings left behind by the unified civilization in these dream worlds.

However, as the exploration deepened, disagreements began to emerge among the Lupu people.

Based on information gleaned from the buildings, some Lupu people suspect that the destroyed Guiyi Civilization attempted to resurrect itself using the Lupu people.

In layman's terms, it's like being resurrected in another's body.

The Lupu people will eventually become increasingly similar to the unified civilization in terms of thought, body, social structure, culture, and other factors, until they become completely identical.

That's why the spiritual energy of the Lupu people has been inexplicably increasing.

However, another group of Lupu people believe that this is the legacy left behind by the Guiyi Civilization after its demise, and that they, the Lupu people, are lucky to have been chosen by the Guiyi Civilization and will ultimately become its inheritors.

At first, the two factions were just arguing, urging each other to put civilization itself first.

As a result, when civilization was placed first in the discussion, the debate became more intense, and the contradictions became more profound.

In the end, both factions completely gave up trying to persuade the other to agree with them, and both planned to go their own way, which was the fuse that ignited the conflict.

The Lupu people oppose further exploration of the anchor point architecture—What? You want to explore further?! Isn't the survival of civilization more important than such vague development and progress? No! Absolutely not! For the survival of the Lupu civilization, we cannot allow you ambitious people to run amok like this. We must tell the Babel beehive! Let the great sovereign civilization come to save us, the Lupu people!

The Lupu people who support further exploration of the anchor point architecture—what?! A leap forward in civilization is just around the corner, and not only do you not support it, but you also tell the Tower of Babel swarm, handing over this opportunity for civilization's leap?! You traitors to civilization, lackeys of the sovereign, we thought too highly of you! You must die, you must die today, not one of you will be spared!

This led to the situation that the bee swarm at the Tower of Babel later witnessed...
