Chapter 507: The Higher Civilization Has Arrived, Everyone Is Saved
"Is this already a star system within the Andromeda Galaxy?"
"It feels... not much different from the Galaxy."
Su Ping, sitting cross-legged on the Neutron Battle Star, slowly opened his eyes amidst the starry sky.
Looking at the sea of stars, he took a deep breath of air that did not exist.
Sensing the countless fluctuations in the surrounding starry sky, Su Ping felt some regret that there was no Spirit Qi here either.
This place is also a land devoid of Spirit Qi.
Hmm... this is fine too; in a place like this, those heaven-sent treasures ought to belong to me so that their true wonders can be fully utilized.
"The Andromeda Galaxy, as the star system closest to the Galaxy... is one of the largest star systems in this galaxy cluster."
"The total number of stars has broken the four-digit barrier, reaching as many as one trillion!"
"Calculated by the number of stars, its foundation is more than several times greater than that of the Galaxy."
"If I can successfully replicate my success in the Galaxy here, I, the Galaxy Emperor, might be able to rely on the qualitative change formed by quantitative change to break through the shackles of the great realm and become an Immortal directly, right?"
Thinking of this, Su Ping's mood suddenly brightened significantly.
As he expanded his Divine Sense, he immediately detected intelligent civilizations hiding in the shadows, spying on him.
Moreover, there were at least seven civilizations spying on him.
This made Su Ping somewhat delighted; he had not expected that just upon arriving at the edge of the spiral arm star region of the Andromeda Galaxy, he would be able to discover so many intelligent civilizations possessing the ability to observe outer space.
This civilization density is truly far ahead.
It is just unclear whether this is because the environment of the Andromeda Galaxy is too good and suitable for the birth of intelligent civilizations, or because among the ancient technological civilizations that stepped out of their home planets early, there appeared some altruistic, teacher-like mentor civilizations.
After the ancient civilization of the Galaxy, the Xie Tiao Zhe civilization, surrendered.
Su Ping learned that hundreds of thousands of years ago, a mentor civilization had appeared in the Galaxy.
That civilization loved nothing more than running to various star systems to find technologically backward indigenous civilizations, then teaching them to develop technology and form systems.
It was just that the results were not very good; the civilizations that had their growth forced did not help this mentor civilization gain any inspiration for a breakthrough.
In the end, this mentor civilization suffered internal strife, and eventually, the individual members of the civilization scattered, and gradually, the last individuals of the civilization disappeared into their wandering journey.
Su Ping did not feel surprised that he was being observed.
A neutron star as large as the Neutron Battle Star, even if it did nothing and just stayed in this starry sky.
The terrifying gravitational vortex it formed would be enough to make the observatories on nearby planets sound frantic alarms.
"Hmm?"
Su Ping suddenly noticed that in a star system not far away.
There was unexpectedly a strange malice looking toward him.
Divine light flashed in Su Ping's eyes.
In the blink of an eye, a pair of Dharma Eyes traversed time and space to see clearly the situation in the distant star system.
Su Ping was able to see that in this star system, which was about 1.5 times the size of the Solar System.
In the nebula at the edge of the star system, hundreds of millions of energy-based life forms were entrenched.
These energy life forms were very similar to the ghosts in human imagination.
Under Su Ping's Dharma Eyes, these energy life forms, invisible to the naked eye, had humanoid upper bodies and bizarrely shaped lower bodies.
The smallest individuals were about one meter tall.
The largest individuals, however, could be over ten thousand meters tall.
Their thinking was full of Chaos and brutality.
This made Su Ping involuntarily think of the Dark Disaster Chaos.
However, it was only similar; these energy life forms could not summon the Water Blue Star World version of the Chaos to descend.
This world lacked the conditions for the existence of the Dark Catastrophe.
So even though the scale of the opponents was huge and their mental power level had reached a very high realm.
Yet in Su Ping's eyes, they were full of flaws.
Not worth fearing!
Then Su Ping noticed that in the inner circle of this star system, on a planet close to the Star, there existed an intelligent civilization.
Judging from the traces on the surface, this intelligent civilization must have suffered the ravages of the energy life forms entrenched in the nebula.
Fortunately, they should have only been swept by a very small number of individuals.
That is to say, outer space and the surface were cleared once.
Beneath the surface, there was now a civilization that could be considered prosperous, and the surface had also regained traces of civilization.
It was just that the other party clearly remembered the previous lesson; their activities on the surface were very limited, and there were not even many devices from an electrical age civilization.
"Combined with the malice toward life forms and civilizations that I felt from those energy-based civilizations."
"Hmm... I can make a judgment: in this spiral arm star region of the Andromeda Galaxy, these energy life forms belong to the enemies of intelligent civilizations, right?"
"Is this the coincidental arrangement under the destiny of saving the world?"
"My birth is indeed a blessing for all living beings!"
Su Ping sighed with emotion, and with a wave of his right hand.
Six-winged structures made of energy emerged around the Neutron Battle Star.
Seen from afar, it was as if angel wings had appeared on both sides of this neutron star.
Coupled with the soft, warm white light that bloomed after the wings took shape.
It made this neutron star appear like a Light Angel descended from the Divine Realm.
After the Neutron Battle Star unfolded its six wings, the next moment it performed an ultra-fast space jump that astonished all the observing civilizations.
In an instant, it jumped to the edge of a star system.
This maneuver made the high-ranking officials of the Creator Civilization mothership, hiding behind the Sun, extremely nervous.
Because they could clearly observe that the star system the other party jumped to was the very star system they were currently in.
This caused many high-ranking officials of the Creator Civilization mothership to begin suspecting whether they had been discovered by the other party.
At the same time, the Creator Civilization was also extremely wary of the civilization behind this Neutron Battle Star.
Whether it was the modification of a neutron star or the energy wings on both sides of the neutron star.
Or that space movement which seemingly possessed the characteristics of warp engine Space Technology, yet was achieved with an ease that the Creator Civilization could never replicate.
All of this forced the high-ranking officials of the Creator Civilization to realize with dismay that the technological superiority they had always prided themselves on no longer existed!
The Zack Civilization, also located within this star system, saw the space-jumping Neutron Battle Star through their observatory as well.
Naturally, they were even more terrified.
From the instantaneous movement of the neutron star to the energy wings on its sides.
Even if the experts of the Zack Civilization were unwilling to believe it, they had to admit that this suddenly appearing neutron star must be a warship of some super-advanced civilization.
Furthermore, the other party clearly already possessed advanced energy utilization technology and space jump technology.
This was the most powerful technological civilization they had ever encountered.
According to previous speculations.
A super-advanced technological civilization that has mastered such technology is already a Galaxy-level Technological Civilization capable of running rampant throughout the galaxy.
Even that civilization which conducts gravitational broadcasts should be far inferior.
Just as they nervously began to speculate on why the other party had suddenly approached.
Both the Creator Civilization and the Zack Civilization simultaneously observed a disturbance in the nebula at the edge of the star system.
Because they had been dealing with ghosts for a long time, their research into them was quite profound.
Both civilizations immediately detected that a massive number of ghost individuals were present in the nebula.
And among them were King-level Individuals capable of destroying a civilization with a single strike.
The experts of the Zack Civilization trembled as they looked at the data coming from the nebula, cold sweat pouring down their bodies.
"These ghosts, they were actually entrenched so close to our home planet!"
"It is fortunate that our ancestors were wise and decisively chose to cut off their own limbs to survive!"
"And it is fortunate that the leader strongly rejected the development faction's proposals for large-scale exploitation; otherwise, if these ghosts had sensed that our planet still harbored a sentient civilization, we would have had no place to be buried!"
The Zack Civilization discovered the unusual movements of the ghosts and felt extremely fortunate.
As for the Creator Civilization, they were already accustomed to this.
As long as those ghosts entered a dormant state, with the detection level of the Creator Civilization, they could barely see any traces of the other party's existence.
This was also one of the reasons why the Creator Civilization could not make up its mind to exterminate the ghosts.
They could not guarantee that they could clear out the ghosts in a certain area one hundred percent.
Seeing that the ghosts seemed to have been stimulated and were surging toward that Neutron Battle Star outside the star system.
The high-ranking officials of the Creator Civilization had a realization; it seemed the other party's space jump this time was for these ghosts.
So, the civilization behind this neutron star had detected the dormant ghost clusters at that previous location?
As expected, higher civilizations have no weaknesses.
Are they also in an absolute dominant position in detection technology?
Realizing this, the high-ranking officials of the Creator Civilization felt somewhat dejected.
However, observation still had to continue.
They widened their eyes, staring fixedly at the large screen projected in the virtual war room.
There, the Smart Brain intelligently outlined the ghosts, which were invisible to the naked eye, in red.
One could see hundreds of millions of ghost individuals forming a tsunami-like offensive, rushing toward the distant neutron star.
These ghosts were very fast, and the ten-thousand-meter-level individuals among them were several times faster than the Bodhi individuals.
This speed exceeded the maximum cruising speed of all Interstellar Warships of the Creator Civilization.
There was no help for it; normal sentient civilizations need to follow the laws of physics, and after reaching a certain speed, the cost of continuing to increase speed becomes higher and higher, eventually becoming not worth the loss.
But energy-based life forms do not have such constraints.
And because of this, the great scientists of the civilization had already realized that one of the most important technological sectors on the advancement path of their ancient civilization was energy technology!
It was just that realizing it was one thing, while wanting to research and successfully master it was another.
Seeing a ghost tide of this scale.
A high-ranking official of the Creator Civilization curiously asked the captain:
"Captain Gula, can our civilization withstand such a ghost tide attack?"
Captain Gula was slightly shaken upon hearing this, hesitated for a moment, and shook his head:
"No, at least the main fleet of our civilization when we came here could not do it."
"The ghosts are not only extremely fast, but more importantly, they can ignore most of our attacks."
"The few weapons that can be effective also have very low cost-effectiveness."
"On the contrary, regarding our defensive capabilities, only a few Black Technology shields can be effective."
"The Ultra-hard Alloy of the ship itself and the Ultra-low Temperature Particle Shield... are all ineffective against these ghosts."
"Under such a ghost tide, if the commander of the main fleet were me."
Captain Gula thought for a moment, then told the truth:
"I would have the fleet scatter and then each flee for their lives; however many can run, that's how many there are."
Hearing these words from Captain Gula.
The expressions of the high-ranking officials of the Creator Civilization were all unsightly.
Faint white mist began to rise from each of the octopus-like heads.
Captain Gula also turned his attention toward the battlefield.
Watching the Neutron Star with its six wings unfurled, deep down, Captain Gula actually hoped that the other party would also be humbled before the energy-based lifeforms.
This would at least prove that the technological gap between them and the Creator Civilization was not as exaggerated as imagined.
That was what Captain Gula was truly hoping for.
Unfortunately, the gods did not respond to his expectations.
At the edge of the Star system, the ghosts, provoked by the Divine Sense intentionally released by Su Ping, surged out of the nebula region in unison.
They formed a menacing, tide-like swarm, rushing over at one-tenth to three-tenths the speed of light.
And on Su Ping's side, facing such an offensive.
He chose to unfold the Sun Moon Star Chart, causing the Neutron Battle Star to emit a faint starlight.
Then, in the next instant, these starlights condensed onto the blooming six wings, transforming into hundreds of millions of pale blue beams.
Whoosh—they shot out from the six wings, instantly piercing through the tide composed of ghosts.
Most ghost individuals under a thousand meters screamed and turned into thousands of light spots the moment they were pierced by the beams.
Those over a thousand meters withstood the attack, but their speed and agility were greatly reduced as a result.
This also made the civilizations watching from the sidelines widen their eyes in shock.
And they all mistook those beams for some kind of energy weapon.
They secretly felt that, as expected, to counter energy-based lifeforms, one must use energy-based weapons to be effective.
The civilization behind this Neutron Star was truly a high-level civilization capable of eliminating this nether disaster!
Seeing this scene, the Zack Civilization had already begun having their experts consider how to broadcast their gratitude and their sincerity in being willing to submit and act as their lackeys later.
As for the civilizations in other Star systems outside the Zack Civilization.
Well... it was not that they would not be shocked.
It was just that those civilizations that noticed the anomaly here would have to wait for light to carry the information over before they could know from their observation equipment that such a powerful high-level civilization had appeared here.
Such a high-level civilization had arrived.
The intelligent civilizations in their spiral arm star region would be saved!
Meanwhile, on the side of the Zack Civilization.
They were surprised to discover that after the Neutron Star launched two beam strikes, clearly weakening the speed and scale of the ghosts.
It did not continue to launch attacks to wipe out the opponent in one go.
Instead, with a flap of its six wings, it also initiated high-speed movement, and with a whoosh, it charged over while piloting the Neutron Star.
Seeing this, some experts, relying on past experience, were just about to say that the opposing commander was foolish!
When they saw that the ghosts, which should have been invincible, could not even enter within a hundred kilometers of the Neutron Battle Star's perimeter.
They seemed to have encountered an invisible barrier there and could not break through no matter what.
On the contrary, inside that Neutron Star, some light seemed to flash.
Every time it flashed, one could see many ghosts turn into streaks of light and be swallowed up.
While the Zack Civilization was shocked.
The high-level members of the Creator Civilization were even more dumbfounded.
Because their observation equipment was more advanced.
And because of this, they saw clearly that the one who accomplished all this was actually an individual intelligent lifeform standing on the surface of the Neutron Star!
