A Colossus rushes in at the start

Chapter 49 The swarm of bees was restless

In Lu Shang's plan, the swarm only needs to spread out the second-generation scouts to complete the construction of an intelligence network for the entire galaxy, and then it can end this protracted interstellar war that began in the era of the Old Overlord.

In other words, reaching the finish line of victory does not require him to perform any complicated operations; he can simply wait for a while.

Coincidentally, the Star Alliance had the same idea.

They are currently short of time and are relying on the planet to build a giant wormhole generation device. Once it is completed, they will be able to reverse their disadvantage.

They can win as long as they stall for time!

Because both sides had the same idea, the intensity of the interstellar war that had lasted for so many years in the galaxy actually decreased quite a bit.

During this period, the two sides mainly engaged in political negotiations. The swarm wanted to use this method to sow discord and divide the Star River Alliance, thereby reducing the difficulty of a full-scale attack after the Star River Alliance's intelligence network was built. The Star River Alliance, on the other hand, wanted to use political wrangling to buy time as much as possible.

……

In the dimly lit dwelling, the flickering flames of the fireplace cast an imposing shadow of Lu Shang.

Lu Shang lay in the rocking chair with his eyes closed, as if he were asleep.

In the microscopic world invisible to the naked eye, every molecule in Lu Shang's body is controlled by an invisible force, stimulating cell division, accelerating metabolism, artificially eliminating cells with low division capacity, and adjusting endocrine function...

After a series of adjustments, except for his memories, Lu Shang's body was microscopically adjusted back to the state it was in when he first woke up.

Indeed, Lu Shang accomplished what countless human emperors had dreamed of.

Immortality!

How many emperors were poisoned to death by heavy metal elixirs in their quest for immortality?

How many emperors have spent fortunes in the pursuit of immortality, hoping to extend their lifespan even by a tiny bit?

I never expected that Lu Shang would achieve this so easily!

By relying on psychic energy, he allowed his psychic brain to control every molecule in his body, eliminating dead and declining cells, stimulating healthy cells to divide and produce new cells to fill the gaps, thus directly solving the problem of lifespan.

Are human genes short-lived?

It's okay, we can just continue!

When Lu Shang opened his eyes, he breathed a sigh of relief, got up to take a shower, and washed away the impurities that had been expelled from his body through his pores.

After taking a shower, Lu Shang was drying his hair with a towel when he received a piece of intelligence from a second-generation scout.

That was a fleet, roughly twice the size of a standard Alliance fleet. Lu Shang was familiar with the markings on each ship in this fleet; he had seen them in the inherited memories of his swarm.

"Oh? Another familiar race?" Lu Shang paused in his act of wiping his hair.

The Amon Empire, like the Babel Bee Swarm and Bahadun, is a subordinate race under the Void God.

Unlike the Swarm and Bahadun, the development path of the Amon Empire is very similar to that of the Star Alliance. It also focuses on industry, then builds warships, and then assembles a huge fleet to conquer the stars.

However, it is not entirely the same as the Star Alliance. The Amon Empire does not engage in scientific research, nor does it have professions such as scientists. Overall, it is very belligerent and always likes to cause destruction and create big explosions.

It seems that their technology is ingrained in their genes, so no matter how many people die, as long as there are still people alive, the technology of the Amon Empire will not be interrupted.

But precisely because there are no scientists, it seems that scientific research has almost stagnated, at least according to the inherited memories of bee colonies.

As for how the Yamon Empire developed to the point of entering the starry sky, Lu Shang didn't know, and the Beehive had no relevant records.

Lu Shang pondered the situation for a moment, then ordered, "Have the scouts keep watch, but don't act rashly. We'll consider how to deal with them after the war between the Swarm and the Star River Alliance is over."

The Amon Empire has little use for the current swarms of bees; they rely on a type of level-ten psionic animal domesticated within their spaceships to achieve trans-light-year travel.

If it's a swarm of bees that has used a level 12 psionic brain, it's still somewhat useful.

Because these level 10 psionic beasts are smaller than Behemoths, they can fit more psionic brains in a unit of space, so the psionic brains of the former are stronger than those of the latter.

But now that the entire swarm has been upgraded to level 12 psionic power, a level 10 psionic brain is no longer of much use.

Shortly after dealing with this matter, new messages came through the swarm network.

"Lu Shang, good news! The negotiations between the swarm and the Dias Empire have made progress!" Nanali, the former ruler who was assigned to negotiate with the Dias Empire, excitedly told Lu Shang the news.

Lu Shang was taken aback upon hearing this, and asked in confirmation, "Is it about freezing reincarnation?"

"Um!"

After receiving Nanali's affirmative reply, Lu Shang couldn't sit still any longer. He immediately replied, "Organize the relevant information and send it to me right away."

The freezing of reincarnation, which sealed the Void God, is a terrifying technology that cannot be ignored.

From the very beginning of the conflict with the Star River Alliance, Lu Shang had been on guard against the enemy using this technology on the bee swarm.

It's unclear why, but even with the destruction of planets and the surrender of its members, the Star Alliance doesn't seem particularly interested in using this technology.

Unfortunately, Lu Shang never had a chance to figure it out. The relevant information was tightly blocked. Even the intelligence network spread among the various member forces of the Star River Alliance could not obtain any information. It was practically a taboo.

Now, the swarm has finally reached an agreement with the Diaz Empire.

"Okay! Wait a moment!"

Lu Shang sat on the sofa, trying to calm his agitated emotions, and accepted the relevant information that Nanali had prepared.

After a while, Lu Shang finished digesting the information, frowned, stood up from the sofa, and paced back and forth.

"It really is just as I thought. What I feared most has come to pass..." Lu Shang muttered to himself with a grim expression.

The technology of freezing reincarnation is not complicated. Its principle is to use the singularity to create a closed spacetime that is different from the current universe rules.

In other words, it can also be called a microcosm.

The Star River Alliance eliminated the time dimension in the closed-loop spacetime that sealed the Void God by adjusting the parameters of the initial singularity. This resulted in the closed-loop spacetime that imprisoned the Void God having no time.

No matter how strong the Void God's spiritual power is, it's useless. Without time, there will be no more changes. It's like being frozen in a spacetime, so the Star River Alliance calls it the Frozen Cycle.

Lu Shang wasn't too afraid of this technology; it was just time freezing, it wouldn't kill anyone, and it required a very high energy level.

In order to seal the Void God, the Star Alliance deliberately spread the news that the center of the galaxy was building an ultimate weapon targeting the Void God and his subordinate races, forcing the Void God to lead a large number of his subordinate races to attack the center of the galaxy.

The Star Alliance, having already made all the necessary arrangements, seized the opportunity to use the energy of the massive jet at the center of the galaxy to create a closed spacetime loop, thus sealing and freezing the Void God within the cycle of reincarnation.

However, the technologies associated with this technology made Lu Shang uneasy.

For example, what if the Star Alliance creates a spacetime with a lower energy level than the existing universe in order to defeat the swarm?

Imagine an infinitely expanding spacetime bubble. All matter that falls into the bubble will be deconstructed and then reassembled into a material structure that conforms to the rules of the spacetime bubble. Apart from black holes, even neutron stars will disintegrate.

That's terrifying!

The Star River Alliance had considered similar technologies, but they simply didn't want to research them. They stopped researching this area after sealing the Void God, according to information obtained from the Dias Empire. Apparently, it was because it violated cosmic morality or something. Anyway, Lu Shang didn't quite understand the aliens' logic.

However, this does not preclude the possibility that the Star Alliance might do something if it goes mad.

For example, some people shout, "A universe without an alliance has no reason to exist."

"No, taking chances isn't my style. I have to make some preparations in advance to prevent the Star River Alliance from causing trouble," Lu Shang said resolutely.

Immediately afterwards, Lu Shang contacted the former ruler, Nanali.

"Nanali, as a member of the Star River Alliance, the Diaz Empire must have more than this much information. Find a way to get them to hand over the rest of the information about freezing reincarnation."

"We've also established contact with several other factions; they must have considerable connections as well. This intelligence is crucial for the Hive; we must obtain it!"
