The Advancing Civilization was more than thirty hours slower than the Flying Civilization.
As soon as Ska Shang entered this world, it felt its own dark matterization.
"It's actually a dark matter world..."
"Does Human Civilization possess this technology?"
Its initial thought was the same as Blayke's.
But upon observing this world and discovering its size, it instantly dismissed that conjecture.
"This wasn't created by Human Civilization."
As a small Civilization, it was very clear that nothing here was scaled down.
In other words, this world itself was naturally this massive.
But how could that be?
Such a colossal world shouldn't exist.
Star Cities several astronomical units in size might exist, relying on antimatter or Negative Energy to counteract the effects of gravity.
An Unknown Civilization could certainly achieve this.
However.
This world had already exceeded traditional notions of size.
A casual scan in any direction revealed dimensions of at least several hundred astronomical units.
How could an Unknown Civilization possibly create such a vast world?
No!
Even the top Civilizations couldn't.
So, is this a Civilization ruin discovered by Human Civilization?
That's also impossible!
The Flying Civilization knew the history of the entire Milky Way.
Interstellar Civilizations began to emerge in the Milky Way approximately 300 million years ago.
The Flying Civilization itself has a history of nearly 20 million years, and the information it collected while in the galactic center included 300 million years of Milky Way Civilization history.
At least Ska Shang had not seen any records of such a Civilization existing in the Milky Way.
Let alone the ruins left by such a Civilization.
Even earlier?
That's even more impossible.
No matter what a powerful Civilization does, even if it just passes by and farts, it will leave various traces.
Moreover, a Civilization capable of building such a massive dark matter world couldn't possibly leave only a dark matter...
While contemplating, Ska Shang continuously searched through the information stored in its mind.
And it actually found something.
"As expected, it's not Human Civilization..."
"But a seed."
"A seed actually exists in a place like this!"
Ska Shang's heart fluctuated wildly.
"Seed" is a very specialized term; its inherent meaning cannot be encompassed by language alone. In the Advancing Civilization, it is a standalone term, and a very long one, requiring 23 syllables to express.
This thing came from a terrifying era.
Or rather, this thing once created a terrifying era in the Milky Way.
The entire galactic center went mad because of it.
The Milky Way is not among the oldest galaxies.
Naturally, the Civilizations born in the Milky Way are not among the oldest either.
The true age of the universe, according to the cold dark matter model and observational records, is approximately 13.8 billion years.
In any Civilization, there will also be some non-mainstream models that challenge this; in the Advancing Civilization, there are other theories stating that the universe is over 50 billion years old, or even hundreds of billions of years old.
But no matter what, the birth of the Milky Way and the Milky Way Civilizations came relatively late.
This also led to more powerful Civilizations existing in other, older galaxies.
These powerful Civilizations are not selfless.
According to records.
The seed came from a black hole.
It was directly teleported into the largest black hole within the Milky Way, passing through a wormhole inside the black hole to reach the galactic center.
Then, the seed began to grow continuously.
Its nourishment was very simple.
It was Civilization itself.
It copied the original Civilization, parasitic on the original Civilization to grow, and once fully mature, it would replace the original Civilization.
A top Civilization in the galactic center was once destroyed because of this.
Afterward, other top Civilizations discovered the existence of the seed, besieged it, and expended a huge price to completely clear it out.
According to the Galaxy Core Civilization's conjecture.
The seed might come from an incredibly powerful Civilization that wants to rule the entire universe and expand its territory, so it deploys seeds to all galaxies throughout the universe.
Allowing the seeds to replace the original Civilizations in those galaxies.
After all.
Even those powerful Civilizations are still limited by the speed of light.
The only way to move over long distances is through wormholes.
But wormholes are actually unstable and require other methods to stabilize them.
wormholes themselves are also not large enough; weak Civilizations can move through wormholes, but for powerful Civilizations, a single warship might be measured in astronomical units. How could this pass through a wormhole?
Moreover, wormholes themselves have a limited carrying capacity.
According to speculation, a 3rd level Civilization's warship might each possess black hole-level energy.
What would happen if a black hole passed through a wormhole?
Furthermore, for a super Civilization, the other side of a wormhole is also unknown.
If that Stellar System has a 3rd level Civilization, and the warship passing through the wormhole has a very low energy level, then it's not going to war, but directly sending itself to be slaughtered.
Therefore, many super Civilizations have not controlled the entire universe despite hundreds of millions or even billions of years of development advantage.
These are all conjectures about the universe from the Milky Way Civilization, to explain the existence of the "Seed."
The veracity of these conjectures remains to be verified, but the terror of the seed itself is real.
The Civilization behind the seed is also called the "Copy Civilization," a 3rd level or even 4th level super Civilization from an unknown distance.
"There's actually a seed here!"
"Dimension War, truly anything can emerge."
"Human Civilization must be trying to use this seed to eliminate us."
"Fortunately, it only copied Human Civilization; if it were in the galactic center, it would be terrible."
Ska Shang attempted to transmit information outwards, but this space was completely sealed, with no opportunity to send messages out.
"It seems I can only destroy this seed myself."
It flew forward with its warship.
Soon, it saw the Flying Civilization.
It transmitted a message.
"There's likely a Human Civilization setup outside."
"We must destroy everything here before we can leave."
"The seed will grow stronger over time; we can't give it time to develop. We must act quickly."
