After saying all this, the two continued discussing the situation with the Zerg. Bai Yuwei said: "The Black Sea Civilization originally controlled over three thousand star systems, and for thousands of years, eighty percent have been occupied by the Zerg." "That’s incredibly tough!" He Xingzhou sighed. Just one Zerg in the Solar System was difficult to deal with, nearly sending their civilization to the brink of extinction several times. Yet, the Zerg had already occupied over two thousand star systems in their territory. Upon mentioning this, Bai Yuwei was filled with emotions as she said, "During my parents’ time, the Black Sea Civilization was prosperous and reached Level 4 Civilization, becoming one of the three main civilizations of the Star Trading Group." "Back then, everyone believed we could become stronger and expand our territory to the star clusters!" "Then the Zerg appeared within our territory. At first, only a few remote star systems were occupied. We thought we could handle it, but the reality was much harsher than we imagined!" "The Zerg evolved too quickly. From Planet Giant Beasts to Planet Dominators, Planet Devourers, and eventually even Constant Star Giant Beasts and Starry Sky Giant Beasts emerged!" The Constant Star Giant Beast is the next evolutionary stage of the Complete Planet Devourer; it can devour constant star energy and mass, enough to sweep across Second-level Civilizations! After a Constant Star Giant Beast devours a star, it can grow into a Starry Sky Giant Beast. Star Domain-level Battleships from Level 3 Civilizations are mere toys before them, and even Galaxy-level Battleships from Level 4 Civilizations may not be their match. "In the first few hundred years, we relied on the weapons’ advantage from Level 4 Civilization to maintain the upper hand. But hundreds of years later, our losses grew increasingly severe. The Zerg seemed unkillable, like cockroaches that reappeared no matter how many times we eliminated them, exhausting us. Ultimately, the Zerg Disaster erupted fully within our territory." "After thousands of years of fighting, our territory kept shrinking, and internal conflicts within the civilization grew, forcing us to huddle into a corner." "After my mother’s death, the Civilization Council believed we couldn’t resist the Zerg. So, they proposed the branch civilization plan, which are the four branch civilizations you see. You know the rest that follows." He Xingzhou remained silent for a long time and then asked, "How exactly did these Zerg appear? Even for Blue Star Civilization, they suddenly appeared in the Solar System. Is it because of their own spread, or did someone deliberately do this?" Bai Yuwei analyzed: "Our Iceberg Investigation Association has been investigating for thousands of years. Initially, we also believed it was the Zerg’s own spread. Later, some clues made us change our minds; it might be the handiwork of other civilizations." "We once paid a heavy price to kill a Starry Sky Giant Beast. Inside its Life Core, we found some information. There were photon information clusters that didn’t belong to the beast, disturbing its thoughts." "Are you suggesting that someone can control the Zerg?" He Xingzhou asked. "We’re not sure because that technology surpasses our civilization level," Bai Yuwei said. "But someone must be trying to control the Zerg. It’s the strongest biochemical weapon in the universe!" He Xingzhou also understood; the Zerg are so powerful that even if the Order Alliance orders a ban on using the Zerg as weapons, it couldn’t stop ambitious people from using them to achieve their goals. "If there’s truly a mastermind behind this, they’re certainly observing us," He Xingzhou said. "It must be a massive conspiracy!" Bai Yuwei shuddered thinking deeply, but such an existence isn’t something they can find through imagination and speculation. "Let’s talk about the imminent issue," Bai Yuwei reined in her thoughts and said, "Once the Black Sea Civilization splits, the forces currently resisting the Zerg will retreat." "The Zerg will inevitably spread to Blue Star Civilization and Maoshi Star Civilization’s territories!" "What a burden!" He Xingzhou said helplessly. Blue Star Civilization has resisted the Zerg for so long, yet they still must face them. "These aren’t ordinary Zerg," Bai Yuwei reminded, "Among them are Constant Star Giant Beasts and Starry Sky Giant Beasts." "Constant Star Giant Beasts destroy planets with ease, and Starry Sky Giant Beasts possess the capability to destroy an entire star system." He Xingzhou felt the weight. Black Sea Civilization, the Zerg, Maoshi Star Civilization, plus the Star Trading Group, Orion Royal Court, and the Zerg’s mastermind behind it all— With so many forces intertwined, the result can only be war! He Xingzhou could only say, "I understand. If you encounter a crisis, you must contact me." "Mmm!" Bai Yuwei nodded gently. ... The most update n0vels are published on novel(ꜰ)ire.net He Xingzhou exited the Virtual Universe, still pondering the matter. According to Bai Yuwei’s description, the collapse of the Black Sea Civilization is imminent. By then, both the Zerg and Maoshi Star Civilization will take action. Relying solely on Level 4 Warp Battleships is probably not enough to solve the problem. "Warp weapons—if they can’t achieve Level 3 Civilization, it’s of no use." He Xingzhou thought, considering how to quickly enhance the Blue Star Civilization’s power. There was only one option: to manufacture the ultimate weapon in the star system! "Building the Constant Star Furnace can unlock the ultimate weapon in the star system!" The Quantum Light Computer had long informed He Xingzhou of this, but he hadn’t had the energy to focus on it. "If that’s the case, then start with the Constant Star Furnace." He Xingzhou went to the interstellar construction conference to communicate with the interstellar architects from alien civilizations. The exploration of Sirius A took two years and eight months, and modifying and perfecting the Constant Star Furnace’s blueprints took another full two years. Then, they began construction. After hundreds of years of development, the Blue Star Civilization already had a sufficiently professional interstellar construction team. Space Robots that can withstand constant star temperatures performed construction on the star’s surface, while humans could operate in Space Battle Armor. The number of their construction ships reached over ten billion! The energy needed for construction was collected directly from the star. Various resources came from the different star systems of the Blue Star Civilization, as well as trades with other civilizations of the Star Trading Group. The construction speed was maximized. Black Sea Civilization, a certain Star Domain. "The swarm is coming!" Outside the Star Domain, fleets gathered. In space, countless Zergs were flying toward them. "Attack, attack, don’t let them approach the star system!" Warships had already fired weapons, various Antimatter Weapons, and Warp Weapons. Warp Weapons surpassed light speed, targeting specific Zerg units for attack. Some Zergs’ Energy Shields were breached and destroyed by the weapons. But more Zergs charged at the space defense line, some of which could even perform warp-speed flight! A Level 7 Warp Warship was attacking, picking up energy fluctuations on its sensors. Immediately, a giant beast emerged from the warp bubble. While its size was merely that of a Dwarf Planet, its mass was comparable to a planet! "Delicious!" The beast opened its mouth and swallowed the warp warship in one bite. The Antimatter Weapons underwent annihilation reactions in its maw, but it didn’t mind at all. "Children, go in and slaughter them. This star will be our feast!" More beasts tore through the space defense line and began their massacre. "We can’t hold them off. The number of Constant Star Giant Beasts exceeds a hundred!" "There may be Starry Sky Giant Beasts!" "The defense line has been breached!" "The star system has fallen!" The fleet’s collapse was unimaginably quick; in less than a month, the star system completely fell under Zerg control. This star system was an important defense position for the Black Sea Civilization! It was only a hundred light years from the main area of the Black Sea Civilization! The entire Black Sea Civilization was shaken, and the Civilization Council urgently convened a meeting. Five elders gathered once more, with Bai Yuwei in attendance. "Everyone is aware of the situation!" Great Elder Bai Jia said in a heavy voice, "The Zerg have already breached our defense line, and are merely a hundred light years away. At their rate of expansion, they could reach our heartland and primary star system within a century!" "We must respond to this issue! Otherwise, talk of civilization extinction isn’t just alarmist rhetoric!"
