700 million light-years away.

Shepherd's Hollow, Silver Empire.

The Eight Elders of the Empire gathered again in that simple room at this moment.

"Three, what's wrong?"

"That's right, the once-in-a-century regular meeting isn't just over, what's the matter?"

As soon as the people arrived, another old man asked.

There was a hint of dissatisfaction in his voice.

As the highest ruling level of the Silver Light Empire, the eight of them are usually very busy, and except for the regular meeting once in a hundred years, they generally do not gather together the rest of the time.

After all, it is an empire spanning hundreds of millions of light years, plus a thousand years later, there will be a battle for the four thrones of the universe, which of them is not busy preparing?

"Ladies and gentlemen, there is naturally a very important matter in initiating the special convening clause, and this matter will even affect the success or failure of our battle for the throne after a thousand years."

Three didn't care about the dissatisfaction of the others, and quickly spoke.

At this moment, the expressions of the other seven people suddenly became serious.

As long as it involves the battle for the throne, there is absolutely no trivial matter!

"Three, tell me more, what's going on?"

"Okay, do you remember that we had a third-class legion sent to the edge of the universe before, and several of its reconnaissance teams that arrived early were dealt devastating blows?"

"Of course I remember, didn't we already have a conclusion about that before?"

The old man, known as Seven, frowned slightly.

Is that the big thing you're talking about, or is it the big thing that can affect the battle for cyber?

Seeing Seven's displeasure, Two didn't explain anything, but under one of his thoughts, the scene of the whole room suddenly changed.

It became a known and detectable star map of the universe.

The star map then begins to zoom in and shift its center toward the edge of the universe.

Soon, a certain group of galaxies at the edge of the universe was magnified.

There is a very conspicuous red dot in it, and on the edge of this red dot, there is a mark.

The words written above, translated into human language, are...

Level 1 Anomalous Lifeforms!

Suddenly, everyone's faces changed.

"Two, are you sure you're not mistaken?"

"OK, it's been confirmed many times, no problem!"

"The first level of anomalous lifeforms... No, we have to act now, or if we are discovered by several other empires, things will be in trouble! ”

At this time, Seven couldn't sit still anymore and said directly and loudly.

"Seven, don't worry, other empires shouldn't be able to find it, after all, this area is in the rear of our empire, and the rest of the empires want to go there unless they cross our empire."

"Moreover, not to mention that it is 700 million light-years away from us, even 100 million light-years is impossible to detect, and the reason why we can find it is because there are seeds that we have sown more than 1,000 light-years away from the target."

Hearing this, No. 7 also nodded and quieted down.

That's right, even a ninth-order technological civilization can't detect an exact individual hundreds of millions of light-years apart.

Generally speaking, the ability to complete accurate detection in one or two thousand light-years is already the limit.

Therefore, there is no need to worry about several other ninth-order civilizations discovering and coming to scramble.

"That's okay, I propose to recycle it immediately, and then start cultivating secretly!"

"Seconded, this is a first-level special lifeform, as long as enough resources are invested, enough for it to evolve into a holy beast within a thousand years, at that time..."

"That's right, originally three of our four thrones have no suspense, after all, those three ninth-order civilizations all have holy beast-level super combat power, and the rest of the other ninth-order civilizations can only fight each other to grab the last throne, but if we have holy beast-level combat power, the last throne will not need to be robbed, it will definitely be obtained by us."

"Yes, the three super civilizations will become the four super civilizations from now on."

......

There was no objection to Seven's proposal.

On the contrary, they were all extremely excited at the moment.

In this universe, there are a total of seventeen ninth-order civilizations, but among these seventeen ninth-order civilizations, three are special, and they are also called super civilizations by other civilizations.

That's because ...

Although they are also ninth-order civilizations, these three civilizations are too powerful, and each of them can easily extinguish the ability of any ordinary ninth-order civilization forever.

Of course, it's not that there is much gap in science and technology, even if there is, it won't be too big, and it won't make such a huge disparity in strength.

What really caused such a result is what the Seventh-Horn said...

Holy Beast-level combat power.

What is Holy Beast Combat Power?

To put it simply, it is a super individual of the ninth-order biological civilization.

As I said before, at the same level, biological civilization will be much stronger than technological civilization.

However, the disadvantage of biological civilization is that the more powerful it is, the more difficult it is to reproduce.

Therefore, after most biological civilizations evolve to the seventh or eighth order, the number of ethnic groups will become smaller and smaller due to the difficulty of reproduction, until they finally destroy themselves.

This is what allows technological civilization to control the entire universe.

Of course, there are exceptions.

When a biological civilization reaches the eighth order, it is almost impossible to reproduce offspring.

At this time, there are only two outcomes.

The first, like most biological civilizations, slowly consumes all individuals and eventually becomes extinct.

In the second type, there is a certain individual in it, before running out of life, it has completed another evolution and becomes a ninth-order biological civilization individual, thus obtaining an almost endless life.

The ninth-order biological civilization is very strong, very strong.

Even just a single individual can stumble on several ordinary ninth-order civilizations.

It's like a natural disaster.

However, they also have a weakness, and this weakness is...

The number is too small!

At present, there are only one of the three ninth-order biological civilizations that exist.

After all, it was too difficult to evolve from an eighth-order creature to a ninth-order creature, and the success rate was even so low that it was almost impossible.

And over billions of years, the entire universe has given birth to a total of three individuals, known as holy beasts.

Quantity...

It's their biggest weakness.

That's right, the holy beast is very strong, and it can even fight several ninth-order civilizations on its own.

However, all the ninth-order civilizations united and paying some price, it was still possible to kill the holy beast.

And the Holy Beast that can evolve into a ninth-order individual is definitely extremely intelligent in its wisdom.

In order to prevent this from happening, they have all chosen to cooperate with technological civilizations.

Become an offering like an offering.

A ninth-order technological civilization provides the resources it needs to make offerings.

In return, this ninth-order biological civilization individual will become the totem holy beast of this ninth-order technological civilization.

Today, this is how the three major super civilizations in the universe came about.

At the same time, there is a secret that even if it is a ninth-order civilization, only some civilizations know.

That's...

So far, the three sacred beasts born in the universe are not ordinary biological civilizations, but an existence called a special life form.

And this peculiar...

It's still hierarchical.

The current three holy beasts are the seventh-level special lifeform, the sixth-level special lifeform, and the fourth-level special lifeform.

So, the civilization, knowing this, immediately came to a conclusion.

Ordinary creatures and civilizations are already at their limit when they evolve to the eighth order, and it is simply impossible to continue to evolve to the ninth order.

Only some special life forms born by chance in a certain ethnic group have this possibility.

At the same time, the higher the level of the Alien Lifeform, the greater the likelihood of this.

And so far, the strongest special level that has appeared is the fourth-level special lifeform among the three holy beasts.

The most important thing is that, according to this theory, if a first-order specific life form appears, as long as the resources invested are sufficient, it will almost inevitably evolve into a ninth-order biological civilization individual.

That's why the Eight Elders are so excited at this moment.

After all...

It has never existed in the universe, and it has always existed only in theory...

Level 1 Anomalous Lifeforms!

Once it completes the ninth-order evolution, it will inevitably be the most powerful of the holy beasts!
