I REALLY DIDN'T MEAN TO BE THE SAVIOUR OF THE WORLD

Chapter 927: Chapter 563: The Truth of Higher-order Civilization_1

Over the years, Willian and Glen have extracted quite a bit of important information from the star core of Methuselah Star.

Willian’s conjecture was very shocking and unconventional.

He believed that there was an inevitable connection between the Methuselah Star Core and the dome sealing the Solar System.

He even boldly speculated about the higher-order civilization behind the Compound-Eyed Observer.

Now Willian is sharing his conjecture with others.

The then-president of the Methuselah Science Academy, Brandon Bell, Willian, Sergey, and Glen were rapidly communicating in a virtual space that resembled a sea of clouds.

Using the latest Potts Brainwave Oscillation Technology, the four established a thought connection.

The so-called thought connection was not telepathy as described in fantasy novels, nor was it the complete memory extraction that Star once used on Harrison Clark. Instead, it was a new, efficient method of capturing real-time human thoughts in quantum network oscillations, quickly reconstructing and restoring sound and images, and directly projecting them into another person’s thoughts using neural links.

This technology was invented by a top artificial intelligence and medical scholar named Potts Tevlen in 2487.

However, this technology has an inherent flaw: it requires high levels of intelligence and concentration from the user. A moment’s distraction can lead to a disconnect and even mental breakdown.

Fortunately, all four present were experts in attention management.

Their communication ran smoothly, with a large amount of information being rapidly transmitted through the channels established by their minds.

Unbeknownst to the four, a pair of eyes was quietly watching them from above, taking in every bit of their exchanged information.

Harrison Clark had infiltrated the virtual energy space through the quantum information channel connected to Brandon Bell’s network and quietly obtained the information flow using his highest authority in Potts Brainwave Oscillation Technology.

Star was fully synced with him.

“Do you think Willian’s reasoning is correct?”

Star asked quietly.

Harrison Clark shook his head, “I’m not sure. He skipped too many key stages in his argument, and he has also become a part of the Intuition School.”

Star: “Even you can’t be certain, so it seems likely that his theory could be false.”

Harrison Clark continued to shake his head, “Not necessarily.”

“But isn’t he being too bold and reckless? You are the one who has dealt with the Compound-Eyed Observers the most, and even you haven’t made any rash conclusions about the higher-order civilization. So, who is he to point fingers at? He also said something about… ”

In Willian’s conjecture, he made a bold assumption about the existence of higher-order civilizations.

He believed that higher-order civilizations were actually remnants from the previous universal era.

In the prior universal era, the higher-order civilization of unknown form ruled over the entire cosmic space where matter existed within the observable boundaries.

However, their rule over the universe ended with the death of the previous universe.

It could be that the consciousness of the higher-order civilization was too strong, leaving behind powerful thought waves in the cosmic space, or perhaps they created a stable subspace before their demise, saving their thoughts and heritage in this subspace.

Ultimately, the higher-order civilization extended their existence into the new universal era.

However, due to the vast differences in rules between the new and old universes, the higher-order civilization could not maintain their survival for an extended period of time.

Just as fish can survive in water but not oil.

Although water and oil are both liquids, they are fundamentally different.

Willian boldly asserted that the higher-order civilization was hiding in their subspace.

The core protective shield that maintained the stability of the higher-order civilization’s subspace was, in fact, the dome with which humans have dealt countless times.

The same thing that caused catastrophe to humans when used in the Solar System has become a lifesaving straw for the higher-order civilization as they preserved their sparks in the end times.

Obviously, the once true cosmic rulers were not willing to just bow out of the historical stage.

On the one hand, they were studying the new universe, trying to change the universe’s rules to adapt to themselves, or to adjust themselves to fit the universe.

At the same time, they never relaxed their covert surveillance and suppression of the “indigenous civilizations” in the new universe, preventing new hegemonic-level civilizations from emerging that would completely take away their chance to rise from the ashes.

Willian even boldly predicted that the Compound-Eyed Observer civilization, which dominated the Virgo Cluster, was undoubtedly just one of the higher-order civilization’s subordinate “Sword-wielding Civilizations.”

The so-called “Sword-wielding” referred to the Sword of Damocles hanging above the heads of all potential civilizations.

Once a potential civilization showed the possibility of breaking the ceiling, this extermination sword would fall from its fragile mane and land on their heads.

There were many “Sword-wielding Civilizations” like the Compound-Eyed Observers in the vast universe.

In fact, the Compound-Eyed Observer was just an inconspicuous character among them.

There should be at least several, if not dozens of Fourth-class Civilizations in the universe.

However, all of these Fourth-class Civilizations are most likely “Sword-wielders.”

They might be aware of it, or perhaps their thought patterns had been infiltrated and altered quietly.

Their technological level and understanding of the universe should have already reached a bottleneck, firmly stuck in place.

The reason is simple, higher-order civilizations would never allow an “out-of-control” fourth-class civilization to emerge.

According to Willian’s theory, the remaining fourth-class civilizations must be enslaved.

Willian said, “Indeed, we have only seen the situation in a single stellar system within the Milky Way Galaxy, but based on our understanding of the Compound-Eyed Observer, we can accurately infer the civilizational structure and atmosphere within the entire Virgo Cluster. Furthermore, we can also infer the civilizational atmosphere within the Laniakea Supercluster and even expand the range to an even larger scale.”

“From a purely probabilistic standpoint, if there are other more powerful civilizations above the Compound-Eyed Observer, would the chances be greater that their behavior is similar to that of the Observer? Would there be a line drawn by someone else above the Observer, not to surpass the limit of a tier 3 civilization? Is the enslavement and domestication of lower civilizations by the Compound-Eyed Observer a reflection of someone else’s style? Or perhaps, a program written into their genes?”

“Assuming all of my hypotheses are valid, then the Ant Nest Theory proposed by the philosophers would have universal applicability throughout the entire universe.”

“Why do high-order civilizations pose such a terrifying threat to low-order civilizations? Why do the behaviors of advanced civilizations, whether intentional or unintentional, ultimately lead to the destruction of lower civilizations?”

“The universe is so vast that even a tier 3 civilization still has infinite space to explore and almost inexhaustible dark energy. The resources consumed by low-order civilizations from their birth to their natural demise are not even comparable to the daily consumption of a single ship of a high-order civilization.”

“Despite the lack of direct competition, why are high-order civilizations like the Compound-Eyed Observer relentless in their pursuit of civilizations that haven’t even reached the first class? Humanity can be explained by our immense potential, but what about those species with far less potential than us that also couldn’t escape their fate? Why is this?”

“I have another piece of evidence. Humanity is probably the first emerging civilization in the history of the universe to possess fourth-class technology without having left our stellar system. Theoretically, our understanding of the universe should have reached the bottom level in some aspects, but before Sergey discovered virtual energy, we still knew nothing about the nature of the Dome, which is utterly illogical!”

“So, the real answer is simple — higher-order civilizations from the previous cosmic generation are controlling the universe. Above our heads are the Compound-Eyed Observers, as well as many other fourth-class civilizations we have yet to come into contact with, and even those completely uninformed tier 3, 2, and even 1 civilizations that are capable of inflicting harm on other civilizations. All of them follow this cruel course of action, whether knowingly or unknowingly.”

“Every civilization with interstellar flight capabilities currently alive in the entire universe, whether active or passive, has become the executor of the lower civilizations! Although the remnants of previous generations could not change the rules of the universe, they made the cosmic environment for our civilization extremely harsh! They are controlling the entire observable universe!”

In some sense, Willian completed Harrison Clark’s Ant Nest Theory.

But he also painted an incredibly dark backdrop for the entire universe.

Harrison Clark pondered for a long time and said, “Actually, even if Willian guessed correctly, it doesn’t really matter. Because we have already become a fourth-class civilization in just 500 years. Regardless of the fate of other civilizations, at least we Earthlings have never been completely controlled.”

“We have now completely surpassed the limits set by the higher-order civilizations. We have already stepped onto the stage, and no one can pull us back down. The current situation is nothing more than a war between the new universe represented by humanity and the old universe represented by the higher-order civilizations.”

“Additionally, Willian’s conjecture is not entirely his own speculation. His worldview, values, and knowledge system are all based on the knowledge I have passed down. In a sense, he has helped me complete the summary.”

Star: “So what should we do now?”

Harrison Clark smiled brilliantly, “Of course, we should be full of expectations for the future! Let’s see what humanity can achieve this time!”

He indeed smiled very happily.

Ever since transforming himself into a quantum intelligence and settling in the Cetus UV Star Black Hole, Harrison Clark had been calm for a long time.

He rarely experienced emotional ups and downs about anything.

He always silently observed everything with an incredibly calm gaze, always in hibernation, waiting…

But he wasn’t entirely sure what he was waiting for deep down.

Was it Nora Camp a thousand years later?

The daughter who never managed to be born?

Or the possible resurrection and loss in the year 3019?

Or perhaps, witnessing firsthand the surprises the stubborn ones like Willian and Sergey could bring in this real timeline.

Now he has found one of the crucial answers.

His originally cooled “heart” gradually began to throb again.

He was thrilled by the brilliant ideas of countless geniuses in this era.

He had imagined countless times how the nail-house duo of Sergey and Willian would shine when they gained access to 31st-century knowledge reserves.

Now Harrison Clark saw it for himself.

The stubborn ones did not let him down.

Rainer left behind a large-scale interstellar logistics network, a median value of rules from different cosmic generations, close communication between humans across the Dome, and conjectures about the truth of higher-order civilizations…

Each of these changes brought him and humanity a brand-new future.

In 2596.

Humankind finally created an incredibly large device capable of converting new cosmic energy into virtual energy and storing it in a small physical storage space.

The core of this device was the Shadow Black Hole.

At the same time, the relay warp Stargate, directly connecting the Shadow Black Hole to the Solar System, was announced as completed.

A large number of virtual energy batteries will be produced from the Shadow Black Hole and transported to the Solar System within a year by spaceships traveling through the warp Stargate. Then, through transformation transmitters, they will directly penetrate the Solar Dome, be captured by the receivers orbiting the outer Kuiper Asteroid Belt, and ultimately be converted into usable energy.

In 2599.

The Solar Fast Development System had changed its nature and turned into an extremely solid defensive shield, compressed within Mercury’s orbit.

The life of the Sun was nearing its endpoint.
