"It's blocked."
Behind the Flying Civilization.
Within the micro-spacetime.
Countless Qiluo Clan members were observing.
The Qiluo Clan was initially named "Butterfly Dragon Clan" by Human Civilization, and later the Qiluo Clan themselves translated it into Human Civilization's language as "Qiluo Clan."
However, the Qiluo Clan's true original name should have been "Xiyu Tribe," but they had already separated from the original "Colorful Feather Tribe" or "Feather Tribe," so they naturally refused to use their original tribal name.
Although the three tribes within the Feather Tribe would refer to each other by their original names, now, the Qiluo Clan itself identifies as "Qiluo," which also perfectly aligns with their magnificent, silk-like wings.
Human Civilization had never understood the true nature of the Flying Civilization.
Especially the King's Land.
This is the true core of the Flying Civilization.
The King's Land exists in the microscopic world, and also in the ultra-microscopic world.
It can be understood as this:
The King's Land's carrier itself is in the microscopic world, while the true Qiluo Clan of the King's Land all live in the ultra-microscopic world.
Individuals do not need such precise things, but Civilization itself needs many precise things, which caused the King's Land and the King's Land's life to separate into two different worlds.
If one studies it carefully, one will discover that:
The entire King's Land is roughly a 1-micrometer ring.
And at the center of the ring is a colossal entity.
A giant Qiluo Clan member covered in white pipes and possessing colorful wings—that is the King of all Qiluo Clan members.
When Geng Lishi brought Yan Xia to contact it, he said, "It is extremely small, yet infinitely vast!"
Yan Xia did not grasp the meaning of this statement at the time.
But in fact, this was not just a casual remark by Geng Lishi; it was precisely the King's true appearance.
It is actually slightly smaller than the surrounding ring, with a height of only about 0.7 micrometers.
Indeed, beside it, there is a planet orbiting it, as if it were a Star.
This planet is even smaller, only 1 nanometer, just slightly larger than a typical atom.
However, if weighed, it would be discovered that this planet is a true planet, with a mass of approximately 19 quintillion tons, about one-third the weight of Earth.
Logically, the Schwarzschild radius of this planet should be 2.82 millimeters, but its current size is already far below its Schwarzschild radius.
The same applies to the ring and the King itself.
Their existence is all below the Schwarzschild radius.
All of this is unreasonable in the microscopic world, but if one delves into the ultra-microscopic world, it all becomes reasonable.
Above the King's Land, curled dimension structures of ultra-microscopic worlds envelop countless substances, forming matter clusters.
And these Qiluo Clan members, living in the ultra-microscopic world, are also inside these matter clusters.
There are many ways for an object to break through the Schwarzschild radius, such as changing quantum effects at the Planck scale.
Or changing the state of the matter itself, such as forming exotic matter.
Or even directly modifying the laws of physics.
The civilization's home universe can do this, but the physical laws modified by the civilization's home universe are not too strong; their influence on the microscopic world is weaker than on the macroscopic world, and even weaker when delving into the ultra-microscopic world.
Another method is the involvement of extra dimensions, which can counteract gravitational effects.
The Flying Civilization's research on dimensions is not strong, but that is in reference to true generalized dimensions.
In terms of research on curled dimensions in the ultra-microscopic world, the Flying Civilization still has some say.
By utilizing these curled dimensions, the Flying Civilization can maintain the original mass of matter while shrinking it to very small scales.
Over 80% of the Flying Civilization's life resides in the King's Land.
They know the future of their Civilization.
They are also very concerned about this war.
"It's blocked even with the Advancing Civilization participating?"
"Is Human Civilization that strong?"
"What are those guys on the front lines even doing? They're still blocked despite having a huge advantage."
"It seems impossible to conquer Human Civilization; we should just leave the Milky Way directly."
The reaction of each individual to this situation varied.
Ordinary Qiluo Clan members just echoed what others said.
Meanwhile, the true upper-level Qiluo Clan members were gathered together, discussing solutions.
The Flying Civilization was determined to conquer Human Civilization.
They were willing to pay some price for it.
Not only were there huge losses on the front line, but getting the Advancing Civilization to act also involved significant concessions in some key areas.
Yet now, Human Civilization still blocked this offensive, which greatly surprised the Flying Civilization.
"Although it's impossible for them to hold out for too long, a slow start leads to slow progress. To truly conquer Human Civilization, it will probably take at least 100 Bhiluo time more than the initial model predicted."
The speaker was a "Venerable Elder" of the Flying Civilization, which can be understood as a role similar to an elder.
The Flying Civilization has more than one Venerable Elder, and their power is equivalent to that of council members in a typical parliamentary system, except that above the council members, there is a King who holds absolute power.
100 Bhiluo is 311 years.
This is nothing in terms of cosmic warfare.
But that would only be for a conventional war.
Now, this war is not conventional.
The Flying Civilization does not actually have much time.
"100 Bhiluo, that's too long; it will come."
Another Venerable Elder's voice revealed a hint of fear.
As if that "it" was some kind of monster.
Indeed, when "it" was mentioned, all the Venerable Elders fell silent.
"We must start moving. If it catches up, we won't be able to leave the Milky Way."
One Venerable Elder was unwilling.
"Are we really going to give up on Human Civilization?"
"That is the easiest power for us to control."
"We have already invested too much in this."
Their colorful wings flapped, and every Venerable Elder's heart was restless.
"Of course, we cannot give up; we are just moving a step ahead."
"To truly leave the Milky Way, it will take at least another 20 Shen." (Approximately 28,000 years)
"To completely leave the area where Human Civilization is located, it will take at least 5 Shen."
Human Civilization's Star region is too vast.
The Flying Civilization had another reason for engaging Human Civilization.
Human Civilization was in the way!
To withdraw from the Milky Way, the shortest straight-line distance happened to pass through a part of Human Civilization.
"But if the time is too long, the losses will be too great, and I believe you all know this."
A Civilization in motion finds it difficult to produce energy.
It is inherently in a state of "deficit."
If it gets involved in a war, it might not only fail to progress but also regress.
Especially within an alliance, a single Civilization's regression would make it very weak, and after leaving the Milky Way, there would certainly be many other Civilizations outside of the galaxy eyeing them, where weakness could become fatal.
This is also why the Flying Civilization initially chose not to fight while moving.
"Then let more Civilizations participate."
"The Advancing Civilization might get angry!"
"Let them be angry; Human Civilization must be conquered."
