A Colossus rushes in at the start

Chapter 227 These Civilizations Have a Bright Future

A momentous event is unfolding in the Vorsotis galaxy, one that will determine the future of all civilizations within the entire galaxy.

The Star Alliance, rebuilt by the Babel beehive, will become history. After signing an agreement with the overlord civilization, all satellite civilizations will have a vast universe where they can develop freely.

In that universe, satellite civilizations will enjoy absolute freedom in their development, free from interference from the dominant civilization, influence from other satellite civilizations, and restrictions imposed by the so-called Star Alliance rules and regulations.

They have the resources of an entire universe to develop, and they don't need to worry about powerful enemies from outside the universe.

For each satellite civilization, this is like a huge windfall, a massive event that could directly alter the course of civilization's development.

However, the sensation this event caused was only relative to the various satellite civilizations; for others, it was just a brief and uninteresting piece of news.

When Lu Shang learned from the mainframe Moston that all the satellite civilizations had agreed to sign the paper agreement, his reaction was very calm.

"Oh, I understand."

Listening to Moston's report, Lu Shang said casually, "This part of the process is not difficult. The behavior logic of life forms is to know how to seek benefits and avoid harms. The agreement given by the swarm only has benefits and no harms. Moreover, there is also the use of force to exert pressure. It is inevitable that all satellite civilizations will agree."

"The most difficult part is what follows, and we need to pay special attention to it."

Lu Shang's words helped Moston regain his composure.

"Let me explain, I'll take note of the key points."

As Moston spoke, his tentacles habitually pulled out a small notebook and a pen, looking like a 'good disciple preparing to take notes'.

Lu Shang stated frankly: "The next step is to accelerate the development of these satellite civilizations through time acceleration, and then the swarm will absorb the technology, ideas, or other things that can be used for the swarm's own progress from the development of these civilizations."

"However, in the long span of time after the acceleration, a civilization is capable of anything, including things that could threaten the swarm itself. Therefore, the surveillance of satellite civilizations cannot be relaxed in the slightest."

"Don't let your guard down just because the universe where satellite civilizations reside is the hive universe of a swarm of bees and a large number of microscopic organisms are inhabited among the particles in space."

At this point, Lu Shang paused, then added, "In addition, we must always be prepared with enough cosmic biomes to deal with any emergencies. Ten clusters should be grouped together, and each home universe containing satellite civilizations should have at least one cosmic biome permanently stationed there."

"Furthermore, there are the main brains responsible for managing these mother universes. They must be prepared to deal with emergencies at all times. In the long years of accelerated time, there will always be some unexpected emergencies. And with the acceleration of time, these emergencies will appear in a short period of time. The main brains that supervise these satellite civilizations must be able to handle these."

"Therefore, the selection of the mastermind must undergo rigorous testing under your control, Moston. Those who fail the test will be assigned to other mental tasks."

Lu Shang stopped speaking, while the swarm's mastermind, Moston, wrote down everything Lu Shang said with lightning speed, word for word.

After thinking carefully, Lu Shang, finding nothing else to add, said, "That's about it. Have you written it all down?"

Moston said, "I've noted it all down. I'll go and arrange things right away."

The mastermind, Moston, disconnected from the swarm, and Lu Shang, who had simply explained the situation, focused his main energy on the issues that needed his attention.

Some time ago, the inter-universe civilization Tucker Superintelligence, along with other member civilizations of the Cosmic Union, successively discovered a coordinate in the traces left behind by the Unity Civilization in the cosmic sea.

Both the Tucker Intelligence and the Cosmic Union intended to explore this coordinate. After the Babel Swarm agreed to participate, they began their respective preparations.

Exploring coordinates doesn't require any preparation, but dealing with unexpected situations does.

So far, the only certainty is that the Unity Civilization was destroyed by human intervention, and destroyed very quickly and efficiently, without even the ability to resist.

They have absolutely no information about who did this.

Given the strength of the unified civilization and the severe lack of information about the instigator, prior preparations before the exploration become extremely necessary.

With all parties ready, the Mindful Civilization, a member of the Cosmic Union, acts as the pioneers of exploration, opening a microscopic wormhole leading to the coordinates for the three parties.

At the other end of the wormhole is a terrestrial environment filled with gas.

……

As the heavy stone door slowly rose, propelled by the turning gears, a long-sealed stone chamber was illuminated by the light crystals held by the explorers.

The explorers held their breath, listening intently to the sounds within the stone chamber.

There was no heavy breathing or footsteps typical of monsters, no eerie creaking sound of the undead walking, and no howling sound unique to the dead; the stone chamber was utterly silent.

The explorers standing at the entrance of the stone chamber visibly breathed a sigh of relief. The leader silently waved to his companions behind him, signaling them to follow him into the stone chamber.

As the stone door slammed shut, the heavy, thick stone completely isolated the room from the outside world, making it difficult for even sound to escape. The explorers collapsed one by one, completely relaxed after surviving the ordeal, panting heavily.

"Thanks to Professor Mustang for finding such a secret room, I can no longer use my magic."

"Me too, I just had a head-on collision with that two-headed monster, and now my whole body aches."

"Professor Mustang, the dangers of the Ancient Temple far exceed our initial expectations. If this continues, our lives may be in danger. Should we go back first?"

The leader of the group of explorers, having regained some strength, stood up, leaning against the wall, and glared at his disciples who were shouting to go back, with a hint of dissatisfaction.

"Go back? Do you think we have the time to waste?"

"this……"

The disciple was speechless.

Mustang addressed his disciples, saying, "The seal on the Demon God is about to be broken. Once the Demon God breaks free, the entire continent of Lanvassa will be destroyed."

"We have no time to waste. We must find the ancient artifacts left behind by the ancient gods in the ancient temple before the demon god is completely freed from the seal, and use the ancient artifacts to reseal the demon god."

A disciple, looking utterly disheveled, his armor riddled with wounds and dents from blunt force trauma, said to his teacher, "But, Master Mustang, the Ancient Temple is so vast and its structure so intricate. We don't even know the locations of the ancient artifacts left behind by the ancient gods. How long will it take to find them all by searching aimlessly like this?"

"There are inscriptions on the stone walls along the way, and I've already deciphered some of them, as long as..."

As Mustang was saying this, his voice suddenly stopped, and his body fell straight down.

Pfft!
