Concerning the impact.
After centuries of stalemate in the war, the Fate Wheel Star began to join the battle, and scattered Extraterrestrial Civilization warships used more bizarre technology, once again pushing the Federal Fleet into a continuous retreat.
Civilization battlefield.
Ella noticed something strange growing on the battlefield.
For example, a patrol fleet claimed to have received a distress signal, and when they followed the direction of the distress signal, they found nothing, only circling a certain area repeatedly.
There were also fleets that saw another fleet sailing in the distance; they sent out signals to request contact but received no reply.
By the time they flew over, that fleet had disappeared at some unknown time, leaving no trace to be found anywhere.
Ella was very cautious about these reports initially.
Perhaps the enemy was secretly infiltrating.
However, as more and more similar incidents occurred, Ella sensed that something was amiss.
Before Ella could take further action, on the battlefield, some Soldiers gained certain abilities; their bodies began to digitize, they could resurrect, they could level up…
Federal Military Intelligence Bureau, Military Camp Headquarters Sub-Bureau.
Dai Chengzhou had just received intelligence from within the Flying Civilization's civilization's home universe.
This was the result of many years of persistent exploration.
This information, viewed in isolation, was nothing significant, but combined with recent events, it made Dai Chengzhou deeply worried.
He immediately took the information to Ella's office.
"Commander, my hypothesis has been fully supported by evidence. Please carefully consider the relationship between the changes occurring on the battlefield and the Fate Wheel Star."
Dai Chengzhou sent the data to Ella.
Ella had actually received it earlier but hadn't read the report.
Dai Chengzhou had previously argued that the changes on the battlefield came from several Civilizations that had recently joined the battle.
And he had invested significant material resources into investigating this.
This data indicated no signs of real-world "datafication" or "gamification" within the enemy's ranks.
Currently, these phenomena were concentrated within the Federal Fleet's original territory, now the combat zone.
Ella had not supported Dai Chengzhou's view from the beginning, and Dai Chengzhou also did not believe Ella's view was correct; he had been searching for evidence, and this data was what he considered his "final evidence."
"Director Dai, you've been too focused on this particular information recently, neglecting the organization of other information."
"This is information from the Bhikkhu Stellar System; take a look."
Dai Chengzhou received the information Ella provided and directly loaded it into his sub-brain.
In an instant, he finished reading a report hundreds of thousands of words long.
The Bhikkhu Stellar System, located within the current Federal Fleet area, was not a battlefield and was not even close to the front lines.
There, a large-scale datafication outbreak occurred, with the digitized population reaching an unprecedented 28 billion.
In just a few decades, these digitized individuals gave birth to many 【Peak Experts】, who began to establish their own territories within the Federal Fleet.
The Federal Fleet dispatched a Fleet to suppress them, but the result was that over 3,000 warships were destroyed, while the enemy suffered no losses because those guys could resurrect infinitely!
"This is just the report from the Bhikkhu Stellar System; I have dozens more such documents here."
"The scale of the datafication invasion is too vast. Do you really think those guys from the Fate Wheel Star, who fled in fear from the Dimension War, possess such capabilities?"
Ella had been dedicating most of her energy to these sudden changes recently.
Compared to the external war, it now seemed that these internal occurrences were even more threatening.
More importantly, the evidence showed that on the front lines, people were still using datafication to "level up" by "killing monsters," becoming 【Peak Experts】.
They often possessed primitive combat power beyond that of "Gods" (excluding consciousness), and these 【Peak Experts】 could physically contend with warships and were immortal.
They even began to dominate local battlefields!
Was this a good thing?
The intelligence from the Bhikkhu Stellar System found that this was not a good thing at all.
"What a joke, what are these suddenly appearing Deities?"
Dai Chengzhou saw the end of the data.
Part of the data indicated that these digitized individuals obeyed the 【System】 and the 【Gods】.
These Gods were not the Gods created by Ella in the Main God Space but unknown Gods, who utilized a certain amount of faith and the divine power they displayed to control these digitized individuals.
"Commander, I retract what I said before; my work was not thorough enough."
"But we must stop the expansion of datafication."
"It will directly replace our existing government from within, and it will turn us into slaves of these so-called Deities!"
Dai Chengzhou was very pessimistic about the datafication problem.
He himself had collected a large amount of data, showing that digitized individuals often became very extreme and began to distrust Civilization, only trusting their own strength, becoming completely self-serving.
Because it first broke out on the front lines, Dai Chengzhou believed it was a weapon from the Fate Wheel Star.
But now, Ella had provided more comprehensive information, and Dai Chengzhou did not continue to stubbornly insist on his previous view. However, this situation was actually worse than what he had previously imagined.
Originally, it was just a war between Human Civilization and the Fate Wheel Star.
Now, a third party had joined the battle, and it had erupted within Human Civilization itself, which was simply adding insult to injury.
Ella understood Dai Chengzhou's concerns.
But she now felt somewhat powerless in this situation.
If there were no Civilization war, she might be able to solve the datafication problem.
But now, she had almost all her forces concentrated on the front lines, and the internal problems of the Federal Fleet simply could not be resolved. The situation in the Bhikkhu Stellar System had progressed to such an extent in just a few decades that it was too late to stop it.
What's more, Dai Chengzhou was only a sub-bureau chief; the intelligence agency was distributed throughout the entire Federal Fleet and other Star Countries.
The information they collected showed that the internal problems of the Federal Fleet were not limited to datafication; some others had not yet developed and were still in the dormant stage.
"We shouldn't focus too much on this matter; they either come from a higher dimension or from an Extraterrestrial Civilization."
"Our main enemy right now is still the Fate Wheel Star."
"Director Dai, the Eternal Reincarnation Star Kingdom's support Fleet on the Upper Flank recently suffered heavy losses, with nearly 2 million warships losing contact."
"I hope you can find out where the enemy Fleet came from, whether these 2 million warships have been destroyed, are trapped, or have lost contact due to other reasons."
The situation on the front lines had recently worsened.
The enemy Fleet's numbers were too vast, and all battle lines had been pushed back by over 20 light-years.
The Military Camp Headquarters had correspondingly retreated by 10 light-years, and if the front line was pushed further, Ella would adjust the front line again soon.
Compared to Dai Chengzhou, Ella had more to consider.
These Stellar Systems, now incorporated into the front line, led to large-scale population migration, impacting the Federal Fleet's interior and causing social unrest.
Ella also had to divert some energy to solve these problems.
"Yes!"
Dai Chengzhou directly gave up on his investigation into datafication.
He knew what was important.
Since this no longer belonged to the Civilization war, it was best to leave this matter to others who had more time.
"I was just about to report to you that, based on some clues, the Fate Wheel Star will send at least 10 million more warships to the Lower Flank or the Right Flank."
"These warships are already on their way and are expected to arrive at the battlefield within 60 years."
Dai Chengzhou himself had not forgotten his main duty; after all, he was responsible for collecting information across the entire battlefield.
"Do you think they will be on the Lower Flank or the Right Flank?" Ella asked.
The difference between these two areas was significant.
The impact of deploying 10 million warships would also be different.
"Probably the Lower Flank. The Right Flank is still steadily advancing, and the Fate Wheel Star has lost information on the Lower Flank for a long time. They want to see what exactly happened on the Lower Flank."
Dai Chengzhou pointed to the Pink Pastel Star System.
"This will be their key target."
"We can continue to make some moves around the Mirror Civilization."
"However, the Mirror Civilization has changed quite a bit recently…"
