Within this miniature river system, there are incomparably large fleets moored.

These fleets are centered around a stellar fortress, each surrounded by a hundred or so super warbodies, and a full 10,000 standard dreadnought divisions.

Fleets of this size are moored around the miniature river system, based on stars.

In other words, there are as many fleets as there are small star systems around this miniature river system.

Li Qing crossed this circle and did not know how many micro-river systems entered the interior of the micro-river system, and every two or three billion kilometers or so, he would enter another orbital ring system, and in this orbital ring, there would be another small star system at certain intervals.

But the innermost star system does not have a garrison, but a large number of mothballed facilities.

Such as warehouses.

All kinds of super docks.

Ancient creations of all kinds.

Some super-giant structures that he had never seen before, the miracle of the Star Sea, and so on.

He has even discovered ring-shaped worlds in some large star systems about tens of billions of kilometers away from the most central gravitational source, as well as some super-habitable worlds with diameters of more than a million kilometers.

But that's not the point, the point is that in the very center of the galaxy, there is a strange structure that shrouds the central supermassive black hole.

It is a supermassive framework built outside the horizon of a supermassive black hole, and the frame envelops the entire supermassive black hole in it, with dozens of huge structures extending into the black hole's horizon to continuously extract energy and matter from the black hole.

In each of the ten directions of the superframe, a superstructure with a gauge measured in astronomical units extends out from each of the superframes.

The extracted energy converges upwards along the edge of the megastructure and directly into the superstructure, which is measured in astronomical units.

From the outside, it seemed like this, and he didn't know what it was like inside, but Li Qing watched from a distance and could feel a fluctuation coming from there that made his heart palpitate.

This is most likely the ultimate weapon of the Death-Dreading civilization, and it has not yet been activated.

Just as Li Qing was about to get closer, he suddenly remembered the loud voice that had not appeared for a long time in his ears:

"Don't get close within a radius of 10 billion kilometers in the center of the galaxy! Don't enter the Rim World, don't enter the Giant! ”

Li Qing spread his hands and stopped.

By now, he has basically finished reading everything that can be seen with the naked eye, and Li Qing has basically understood the strength of the existing face of the feared dead.

This strength is not outrageous, and it is estimated that a dozen or so small galaxy garrisons can easily sweep all civilizations in the galaxy, including all advanced civilizations.

But the more he learned, the less he dared to easily inherit the legacy of the civilization of the Feared Dead.

With such a huge strength, they have obviously awakened, but they still obediently stay in this isolated dark star domain and dare not show their heads, and they don't even dare to send some reconnaissance ships out, which shows how deep their fear of the old enemy they once were.

This shows that even if they have such strength, they think that they can't be the opponent of that old enemy at all.

With such an outrageous gap in strength, it is estimated that it will not be able to hold out for a hundred years in the face of the blow of that unknown old enemy.

If so, there is little point in him inheriting the legacy of the Fear of the Dead.

He needed a force that could hold out until he had completely digested the civilization of the Negatives, and if he couldn't, it wouldn't make much sense.

"It's a pity!"

Li Qing shook his head and sighed lightly, turning around rather disappointed, preparing to leave the galaxy.

But as soon as he turned around, a voice sounded in his ears:

"Young race, I can feel the disappointment in your heart, can you tell me why?"

Li Qing paused, was silent for a while, and said:

"I'm disappointed that the Dreadnought Dynasty isn't as strong as I thought."

The voice also paused, probably a little surprised by this answer.

There was silence for a long time, and the voice sounded again:

"Then what kind of strength do you think is as strong as you think?"

"It doesn't really matter how strong I imagine you are, what matters is that you are too far from your former enemies, if the Fear of the Dead reappears, how long can you hold out under the blows of your enemies?"

The voice was silent again.

This time the silence lasted longer, so long that Li Qing was impatient to start teleporting.

Open the hyperspace network, look at the teleportation star map, and touch your finger to a galaxy around this miniature river system on the network that has not been seen before.

But he was surprised to find that he did not have enough authority to enter this galaxy.

"Hidden power?"

Then he clicked a few more in a row, and found a large area of star fields around the central miniature river system, some of which could be entered, and many of which were not allowed to enter.

"But what's the point?"

Li Qing shook his head and did not continue shopping.

No matter what hidden power the Fear of the Dead had, it didn't mean anything to him, and as long as it wasn't an opponent who was once an old enemy, it didn't mean anything to him, and he certainly wouldn't inherit it.

He wants a force that can protect him, not a force that needs to protect himself.

He has no shortage of technology.

At that moment, the voice sounded in his ears again:

"The truth is that we are not their opponents yet, but any civilization has its rise and fall, and when they decline or fall, that is when we rise."

Li Qing shook his head when he heard this and said:

"So you're going to stay here for thousands of years, billions of years."

This time the voice did not answer, which should be the default.

"It's a pity."

Li Qing didn't say anything more, just shook his head.

Because he has nothing to say.

This kind of predicament can only be broken unless the fearer suddenly obtains the powerful creation of a god-level civilization, or if his own technology suddenly makes a breakthrough and steps from the seventh order to the eighth order god-level civilization.

Other than that, there is no other way to break the game.

"Well, then, it's time to get out of here."

Li Qing looked up and looked around, his mind communicating with the hyperspace network, teleporting to a galaxy at the very edge of the dark star field.

Soon after, the teleportation ended, appearing in the most marginal galaxy of the Dark Star Field, which was also the edge of the galaxy that had entered before, and the mysterious voice came from his ears:

"You're leaving?"

"According to the safety regulations, you can't leave and you can't leave."

Li Qing raised his head and a smile appeared on his face:

"What if I could leave?"

"No."

Before he finished speaking, the space around Li Qing began to distort, and then Fang Yuan's unknown number of billions of kilometers of void also began to distort, and the dazzling light suddenly exploded around him, which was a strong reaction of the power of the universe in his palm and the sealing power of the Death-Dreaders in this starry sky.

"God-level civilization creation?"

The moment the voice disappeared, the space where Li Qing was located exploded, and the indescribable force distorted the space, shaking the large area of space around him to form a substantial spatial fold.

But he had already vanished, and in an instant, he passed through the layers of seals and appeared in another starry sky.

Looking back at the dark star field where the Fear of the Dead lived in seclusion, it was pitch black and there was nothing.

No!

In the next second, a little point of light suddenly appeared in the pitch darkness, and then quickly expanded to form a familiar face.

Li Qing subconsciously prepared to leave, but heard the familiar voice sound:

"Wait a minute!"

Li Qing looked at the metal face vigilantly:

"I've come out, and you can't help me."

"Honorable Ancient Inheritor, maybe we can make a deal."

Li Qing's eyes moved slightly, and he shook his head and said:

"If you want me to inherit the Dreadnosaur civilization, forget it."

"No, you don't need to inherit the civilization of the Feared of the Dead, and I'm sure you don't look down on it."

"I may have guessed your intentions, you may need a force that can shelter your own growth, I can provide it, you only need to make a commitment!"

Li Qing knew what the Death-Fearing Man had guessed, not necessarily as he had imagined, but strictly speaking, there was no difference.

He pondered for a moment and said:

"Tell me about it."

The voice quickly responded:

"Before we evacuated the galaxy, we hid some remaining assets and powers in some isolated star fields around the galaxy that did not have hyperspace channels, and any of them could easily resist what you call a higher civilization."

"I'll tell you these coordinates, if you can successfully mine a galaxy that still exists, our agreement will be reached, and if not, the agreement will be invalid."

Li Qing thought for a moment and said his scruples:

"I know there are tentacles of your old enemies in the galaxy, and if I use the ships you once left behind, will I attract their blows?"

The voice immediately denied:

"There are many hidden powers like this, not only in the galaxy, but also in other river systems that we have conquered, and many of them have already been found by other civilizations by chance, if you dig one, you will definitely attract their attention and observation."

"But just observe, as long as you don't carry on our legacy."

"And what commitment do you need?"

When asked about this, Li Qingqing agreed.

It was not much risk to obtain a force strong enough to withstand any higher civilization, which was actually exactly what he thought.

"I need, if you have a chance to advance to the civilization of the gods in the future, come back and help us once in our fateful showdown with our old enemy."

This promise was still expected by Li Qing, he carefully thought about the problems that this promise might encounter, and said:

"In principle, I can agree, but you must not awaken until 100,000 years later, and before that, if I feel that my strength is insufficient, I will not make a move."

"It's nature."

"Then the agreement is established, and in addition, I need a complete map of your galaxy, including the location of a supergate that could potentially teleport to extragalactic galaxies."

"Yes!"

Soon a small chip flew in front of Li Qing, he reached out to take it, and after careful inspection, it began to load.

There was no problem with the star map, and after it was expanded, it directly covered his current star map, and Li Qing immediately found that his star map already included the entire Milky Way, as well as a large number of extragalactic galaxies around the Milky Way.

This includes hundreds of satellite dwarf galaxies in the Milky Way, as well as hundreds of galaxies similar to the Milky Way that the Dreadnosaurs once occupied.

However, Li Qing found that there was no information about the former enemy of the Feared Death in this star chart, and he immediately asked, and the voice replied:

"It's best not to know that name until you've grown up, and sometimes it's not a good thing to know more."

Li Qing shrugged his shoulders and didn't ask.

There is no vow, just a promise.

Then, Li Qing began to return.

Soon after his figure disappeared, a layer of invisible light slowly appeared in the void, a strange face appeared on the invisible light film, and a voice seemed to be talking to itself:

"Can you determine which one it is?"

Then another voice replied:

"Not sure, never seen before."

"Whichever one it is, just be sure that it's a creature of God."

Then a third voice sounded:

"Hopefully he'll grow up."

"It's hard."

"It's hard, but it's a hope, isn't it?"

"Yes!"

The sound faded away, and soon the invisible film of light disappeared with it, and the starry sky was calm again.

Half a year later, Li Qing returned to Yingxian Spiral Arm.

In the past three years, there has been no major incident in the United Empire of Mankind.

In addition to the fact that the Imperial Expeditionary Force has begun to build an outpost on the border of the Eighth Star Field, the Essar Star Field, preparing to conquer several star fields further north of the Perseus Spiral Arm.

According to reliable sources, with the United Empire of Humanity defeating the alliance of Bruwan, the arch-rival of 10,000 years, and completing the unification of the five star fields, the Sirith Star Empire located in the northern end of the Immortal Spiral Arm in the Garinoin Star Domain and the Celestial Pillar Star Domain of the Ferrosa Consortium have put aside their hatred, stopped the war that has lasted for many years, and have a tendency to unite against the United Empire of Mankind.

In addition, the Aisha civilization located in the Isar Star Domain has defeated more than a dozen large and small civilizations in that star field, completed the actual occupation of one-third of the territory of the Isar Star Field, and completed the claim on the Isar Star Field.

This means that the Aisha civilization has not given up on this star field and has decided to fight against the United Human Empire here.

In this regard, Ye Cangqiong, the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Empire, had already gone to the Fionoo Suzerainty, ready to test the attitude of the Suzerainty towards the civil war between the two vassals.

Regarding this matter, Li Qing only instructed the expeditionary force to build the outpost first, and increase the scale of the outpost to prepare for the future expedition.

Originally, they had planned to conquer the Immortal Spiral Arm, not to mention that now that Li Qing had obtained the Star Map of the Feared Death, he already knew that the place where the ancient star gate occupied by the Aisha civilization in the Immortal Spiral Arm Asar Star Field led to was not a spiral arm of the Milky Way, but an extragalactic galaxy.

To be precise, it is a large, dwarf river system located nearly a million light-years away in the Milky Way.

This dwarf galaxy is on top of the Dreadnode chart, a disk galaxy not much different from the Milky Way, but only about 20,000 light-years in diameter.

In other words, the direction to which the Aisha civilization fled through this ancient gate was another river system, and now their headquarters is not in the galaxy.

That's interesting.

No matter how well the Aisha civilization is mixed up in that dwarf galaxy now, Li Qing is ready to fight this dwarf galaxy.

Once he has found a system that the Dreads of the Dead have left behind, and has obtained a fleet that is not inferior to any of the higher civilizations, he can attack that dwarf system.

If we can, we can move human civilization there in the future.
