The Wallfacer: Everyone wants to break through my wall.

The successful research on photonics enabled the integration to transition from 0 to 1; the remaining numbers after 1 are simply a natural progression.

After ten years, the consortium has finally improved the security of photonic conversion to 100%.

The people of the unified entity began a large-scale transformation, while the Jia civilization, for some inexplicable reason, collectively fell into a deep sleep, and then perished in their dreams.

The Hui civilization made no comment on this; they didn't even immediately realize that the Jia civilization had perished, as the war with the Black Tide had drawn most of their attention.

Later, when the Hui civilization noticed the demise of the Jia civilization, it didn't seem strange to them. After the war between the galactic hegemon-level civilizations began, a batch of civilizations died every year in the Milky Way. Even if the Jia civilization died in a strange way, it could be attributed to the Black Tide. Who knows what kind of attack methods the Black Tide used?

The photonicized conglomerate, using Planck-scale wormholes, began a massive escape beyond the Milky Way.

The atomic beings who pass through these temporary wormholes have no idea what lies on the other side. It's perfectly normal for them to crash into black holes as soon as they pass through a wormhole.

However, the Photon Man is made up of photon stacks, so losing a few photons is no big deal.

The unified entity thus silently and aimlessly expanded in the universe, often without even understanding where its own photon was in the universe.

Chapter 374 The Wallfacer of an Alien Civilization

Through the dream, after the photon conversion rate reached 100%, Lao Lai immediately contacted Jian Die.

"Jiandie, news has come from over there."

"Teacher, how can I cooperate with you?" Jian Die asked respectfully.

Old Lai said, "Let everyone sleep. If they're awake, they'll move around and panic. Once they're asleep, we can minimize the difficulty of the transition."

"Understood, I'll take care of it right away," Jian Die replied.

Awakening from his slumber, Kenjiro begins his mission to save civilization.

Over the years, through repeated coups and betrayals, he has ousted power holders from the ruling class and, through brainwashing, achieved dictatorial control over the entire civilization.

At his command, large quantities of sleep-inducing powder filled the atmosphere of every planet, and similar drug powder also filled the space city.

Many lizardmen collapsed in the drug powder and fell into a deep sleep, including those brainwashed people who were loyal to Jian Die. Although Jian Die had brainwashed them, he also regarded them as his compatriots and a part of civilization, and would not choose to abandon them.

Jian Die sat in the monitoring room, watching as all his fellow planets fell into a deep sleep.

He did not choose to fall asleep. He wanted to wait until everyone had fallen asleep and confirmed that no one had woken up before being photonified as the last person to fall asleep.

Just as Jian Die's tense expression relaxed, an unexpected event occurred. A loud sound rang out, and a piece of Jian Die's body was torn off, with a large amount of blood and flesh splattering into the air and landing on the ground.

Several lizardmen wearing gas masks were standing behind Jian Die.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be several brainwashers, and brainwashers in high positions at that!

"Damn it! How dare you betray me!" Jian Die cursed angrily, clutching the gaping wound in his body that he could no longer cover.

"Just as we suspected! You wanted to kill everyone! You madman!"

"A bloodthirsty tyrant like you is not worthy of anyone's loyalty!"

"Although we are loyal to you, we are also part of the larger group!"

Listening to the words of the brainwashers, Jian Die retorted angrily, "I did it to save them!"

"Hahaha, you said save me? Jian Die, do you know how absurd your words are? I can finally be sure now that you've completely gone mad! Or you've been brainwashed!"

After the door was opened by several brainwashers, the father-in-law of the man who had been brainwashed walked into the house.

At this moment, Jian Die finally understood why the brainwasher had betrayed him, and why at this particular time. It turned out that his father-in-law had been secretly manipulating everything.

"I'm not crazy. I know exactly what I'm doing. Everything I've done is for the greater good. Cough cough..." Jian Die was weak and breathless due to excessive blood loss.

Upon hearing Jian Die say these words, his father-in-law's anger level immediately spiked, and he rushed forward and punched Jian Die.

"So you killed my daughter for the sake of the Great Army? What did she do wrong? What crime did she commit? In what way did she hinder the Great Army? My daughter loved you so much, and you actually killed her!"

"That was to save her, cough, cough, cough, believe it or not, she's happy now, cough..."

He explained with difficulty that, relying on the promise Lin Feng had made, he had gone to great lengths to have his most cherished person atomized and incorporated into the unified entity first.

However, the consortium gave a condition at the time: the atomized people had to 'die'.

It's not just about the physiological death of the transmutant; the superimposed mother civilization must also acknowledge that the person is dead.

Because the Radiant Civilization is watching, it would be too risky to proceed with atomization in any other way, at least from the perspective of the Unified Body.

Therefore, Jian Die ruthlessly killed the person he loved most. During a coup, he deliberately forced her into a desperate situation and then personally eliminated her.

Jian Die never expected that her father-in-law would care so much about his daughter. In her wife's description, her father was a very cold person, cold to everyone. And after Jian Die killed her wife, her father-in-law continued to act coldly, as if the dead person was an animal on the roadside.

“He’s really gone mad. The Black Tide must have done something to his brain. He’s become the Black Tide’s puppet.” The brainwasher on the far side said, raising his weapon, preparing to deliver the final blow to Kenjiro.

However, his father-in-law, who was also his father-in-law, stopped him, insisting that he find out for himself.

"Go over there and confess your sins to her."

As he spoke, the elderly lizardman coldly picked up the kinetic weapon in his hand and pressed it against Jian Die's forehead at close range. This completely eliminated the possibility of him faking death after being shot. With half of his brain gone, he was definitely dead beyond any doubt.

“I did nothing wrong… I have never pledged allegiance to the Black Tide… I only believe in my teacher, cough…”

"u?"

The elderly lizardman paused, the tentacles of the weapon he was about to activate froze for a moment. He and U were close friends who respected each other, otherwise he would not have agreed to his daughter's marriage to Jian Die.

However, the elderly lizardman became indifferent again. Regardless of whether what Jian Die did was related to U, the fact that he killed his precious daughter was something that no one could persuade him to do. Jian Die had to die today!

Watching his father-in-law's tentacles tighten, he wearily closed his eyes and murmured, "Teacher, I'm useless. I haven't done a good job."

The next second, a piece of text appeared in the field of vision of the group of lizardmen.

It's alright.

Then, all the lizardmen's vision disappeared, and all they saw was a vast expanse of white.

"What's going on?! Jian Die, what did you do?!" one of the brainwashers asked in a panic.

With difficulty, Jian Die said, "Cavran, I know you hate me, cough, and I know that no matter how I explain now, you won't believe me... You, you'll see her again soon. Don't you hate me for killing her? Casti is waiting for you."

"I'll kill you, you beast, before that happens!"

The father-in-law, who had misunderstood the situation, lost sight and, in a fit of rage, the elderly lizardman fired wildly in all directions to avenge his daughter. Unfortunately, one of the brainwashed individuals was hit by a bullet.

"No, no! I don't want to die!" the brainwashed man cried out in despair.

No, you won't die, nobody will die, you will all be reborn, there's nothing to be afraid of.

"Who are you? Show yourself if you dare!"

The elderly lizardman fired pointlessly upwards in a fit of rage, venting his fury.

[This is u, long time no see, Kaflan. Casti said to stop making trouble.]

I know you definitely won't believe me, so I'll have her talk to you.

"Uh……"

Hearing the voice of his daughter, whom he hadn't seen for many years, in his ear, Kavlan was completely stunned.

Chapter 375 The Great Cosmic Era

After choosing the path of photonization, the unified entity lost control over some things, such as the scale of civilization.

Indeed, after photonization, wormhole travel has become commonplace, and many people actually generate a portion of the entangled photons that constitute their own state every day.

It's not that these photons disappeared into thin air, but rather that they fell into the Planck wormhole, which appeared and collapsed in an instant, and were transferred to a certain corner of the universe through the wormhole.

Fortunately, this problem is not insurmountable. As long as the photon beings can collect and create a sufficient amount of entangled photons every day, they can stably maintain their existence in a certain area.

By strictly adhering to the non-existent strategy and combining it with the Planck wormhole, the unified entity would be invincible on a large cosmic scale, at least no longer threatened by galactic overlord-level civilizations.

Three hundred years after the unified entity collectively completed photonization, the struggle between the Radiant Civilization and the Black Tide for control of the Milky Way gradually moved toward a stalemate.

The reason lies in two-dimensionalization. Once space is reduced to a lower dimension, it cannot be restored. It can only be reduced infinitely in the universe by using a dark domain to expand the two-dimensional space, or by using some other force field that can act on spacetime to encapsulate it, or by using spacetime tearing to tear the two-dimensional space out of the universe.

Because of the lack of recovery, the later the war in the Milky Way progressed, the more riddled the Milky Way became, with dark areas or three-dimensional fragments visible even from a light-year or two away.

The Black Tide gradually lost interest in a galaxy that had been reduced to two dimensions and was shrouded in a low-light-speed black zone.

Firstly, two-dimensional matter is more complicated to utilize than three-dimensional matter. Secondly, the dark zone reduces the speed of light and also reduces time, which means that mining these materials in the two-dimensional Milky Way will take longer than mining them in normal spacetime.

If the war continues in this manner, the Milky Way will become a zero-dimensional dead zone.

The Hui civilization is doing alright; at least it has achieved its strategic goal of preventing the Black Tide from plundering cosmic matter. The matter in the Milky Way that was reduced to zero can still return after restarting.

However, the Black Tide suffered a double loss. Despite investing so many strategic resources in the war, they failed to defeat the Radiant Civilization and ended up gaining nothing. On the contrary, due to their counterattack, a lot of matter was returned to the universe. Every attack was equivalent to returning matter, since energy cannot exist independently of a material carrier.

As the war progresses, it will come down to whether the Black Tide chooses to withdraw before the Milky Way becomes completely zero-dimensional, or whether the two civilizations fight to the death until the Milky Way is destroyed.

If we were to say which civilizations in the Milky Way suffered the most, it wouldn't be those that joined the Bright Civilization's side, but rather those that issued cosmic security statements through the Dark Domain in an attempt to preserve themselves.

Time has been slowed down in these civilizations. From the outside, it is obvious that the civilization that issued the declaration of universal safety poses no threat. Therefore, the declaration of universal safety can be called a 'universal safety declaration'.

Under normal circumstances, this method might be enough to barely survive in the Dark Forest, but right now the entire Milky Way has become a battlefield for advanced civilizations.

Those civilizations hiding in the Dark Domain could not escape, and were so insignificant that neither side in the war noticed them. Thus, their fate of destruction was sealed.

Having finally grasped the Dark Forest Law, I thought I could survive by relying on the declaration of universal safety, but in the end, I still couldn't avoid the destruction of civilization. This is the ultimate way to kill someone by destroying their spirit.

Of course, relying on the Deadline allows one to barely survive in this galactic war environment, but that way of existence is meaningless. Time is frozen within the Deadline, and for those within it, a light-speed attack is still a light-speed attack, resulting in instant death. However, from the outside perspective, a long time seems to have passed since the light-speed attack.

In short, the Milky Way is becoming increasingly uninhabitable, even for atomic beings. Blind spots are everywhere, disrupting quantum entanglement. Therefore, in the later stages of the galactic war, the Unified Body can only understand the changes in the battlefield situation through remote observation from outside the Milky Way.

More than 500 years have passed. The Black Tide gave up its plan to plunder the Milky Way's matter. The Radiant Civilization won and they all left, leaving the Milky Way riddled with holes.

In the foreseeable future, the dark regions that hinder two-dimensionalization will spread and pull the speed of light in space back to the normal speed of light value in spacetime. A huge number of two-dimensionalization regions will simultaneously two-dimensionalize the Milky Way from multiple regions. In about 20 million years, the Milky Way will become a two-dimensional galaxy in the universe.

As for the civilizations that entered the Milky Way and began to explore and develop over the past 20 million years, whether their fate was good or bad remains unknown.

On the unified entity's side, the political structure remains unchanged. The situation of the atomized society is exactly the same after photonification; it's a complete copy because this is the most stable approach. The lower classes want a stable social environment for survival and social interaction, while the upper classes want to follow the original work arrangements to avoid a lot of trouble such as handing over work and rearranging tasks.

Therefore, it was the popular choice, especially after learning about the situation in the Milky Way and witnessing the horrors of war between the dominant civilizations in the galaxy. The lower classes spontaneously learned to restrain themselves.

The problems of the Milky Way are no longer a problem for the unified entity, but new problems have emerged.

As the Unified Body continues to expand involuntarily to every corner of the universe via the Planck wormhole, no photonic being knows where the entangled photons that have passed through the wormhole have gone, nor can they provide any physical assistance to each other if they encounter any problems.

The creation of star maps is imperative. Not to mention providing mutual support among the Photon People, if the Photon People discover something extraordinary or an extremely dangerous area somewhere in the universe, the Unified Body should at least be aware of it.

Drawing a star map is simple and doesn't require complicated operations. Each photon manipulates its entangled photons scattered throughout the universe to observe the cosmic background from all angles. Then, this two-dimensional information is imported into the photon network, where specialized AI performs three-dimensional modeling on the massive amount of two-dimensional data, thereby obtaining a three-dimensional cosmic star map.

The main difficulty in doing this is that the amount of information obtained by photons is very limited.
