In the empty extragalvanic space, a small spaceship is constantly flying in the form of space jumps.

The distance of each jump is around 100,000 light years, and sometimes when encountering areas where the space itself is folded, the jump distance will rise, even reaching hundreds of thousands of light years.

In such a situation, the Skylark will leave a river system behind each jump, sometimes jumping right into a river system, only to leave the river system behind again with the next jump.

It never stays in a river system for long.

In the shadows, there are some river systems with sufficiently powerful civilizations, and the god-level civilizations during this period will be aware of the existence of the Skylark in an instant.

But then the Skylark disappeared, so that these civilizations have no way to start and no way to investigate, after all, the universe is too big, even human beings, there is no way to spread their name to all corners, after all, there are still many civilizations that do not know the existence of human beings.

Under this speed, the Skylark gradually approached the boundary of the universe.

It's just that 40 billion light-years is too far away after all, and the universe is still expanding.

With the expansion of the universe, the closer you get to the edge of the universe, the wider the open space between the river systems.

The distance between each river system will also be.

As we get closer to the edge of the universe, the distance between the river systems has widened to the point where it takes at least 100,000 light-years.

Further distances even require hundreds of thousands of light-years.

And the interior of each river system has become a little looser.

This is also because of the expansion of the universe, which makes the galaxies in the river system farther away from each other.

For example, the solar system in the Milky Way used to be only 4.3 light-years away from the nearest Proxima Centauri, but here near the edge of the universe, galaxies at similar locations in the galaxy need at least a dozen light-years or even dozens of light-years from each other.

This is a good thing for civilization, but it is also a bad thing.

The good thing is that the farther away galaxies are from each other, making it harder to travel to nearby galaxies, and new civilizations will be less disturbed by civilizations in neighboring galaxies.

The bad thing is that it is more difficult for civilization to carry out interstellar navigation, so that after the civilization develops to a certain extent, it will be more difficult to develop upward, because it is difficult to reach the nearby galaxy, obtain sufficient resources, and it is difficult to communicate and develop with the neighboring civilization.

In 11592, after nearly 20 years of sailing, the Skylark finally crossed a distance of 40 billion light-years and began to approach the edge of the universe.

The sailing distance this time was unprecedentedly far for Lin Xu and his party.

And as we get closer to the edge of the universe, we see more and more relics of civilization along the way.

This is the place where the universe first expanded, and it is also the area where civilization was born at the earliest, so it is normal to have a large number of civilization relics.

However, what is abnormal is that as we get closer and closer to the edge of the universe, many of these destroyed civilization ruins have found signs suspected to be related to humans, and they look as if they have been destroyed by humans.

It would be fine if it was just one or two, but along the way, Lin Xu and his party saw countless similar civilizations that had been destroyed by humans.

As a result, Lin Xu has not stayed on the earth recently, but has been stationed on the Skylark, just to confirm whether there are traces of human beings on it when discovering the ruins of new civilizations, and whether they have been destroyed by humans.

And where Lin Xu is, Nan Zhu and Mu Xiyue are naturally there.

Even Lu Yao, who was brushing questions in the library, was attracted and followed along.

It is a pity that so far no reason has been found why humanity would want to destroy these civilizations, or even more like no reason.

This made Lin Xu full of puzzlement.

"Lord Lin Xu, a new ruin has been found ahead, which is suspected to have been destroyed by nanobots." The Skylark broke away from the jump passage and prepared to open the next jump, and the South Candle reported the latest discoveries in the area.

"What level of civilization?" Lin Xu asked.

"Suspected god-level civilization." Nan Candle replied as he checked the Skylark's scouting signals.

"Wait a minute, god-level civilization?" Lin Xu immediately spoke.

Suddenly, the spatial jump channel had been opened again, intending to make another jump, and the Skylark, which had left this river system, stopped.

While maintaining the spatial jump passage in front of him, he waited for Lin Xu's next order.

"Yes, it is suspected of being a god-level civilization." Nan Candle confirmed.

So Lin Xu groaned.

The destruction he encountered before was basically a high-level civilization, and Lin Xu also checked it several times, but he didn't find any problems, or he didn't find the reason why these civilizations caused the destruction of the human race.

This is the first time that a god-level civilization has been destroyed by humans.

Moreover, it is getting closer and closer to the edge of the universe, Lin Xu instinctively feels that these civilizations were destroyed by human beings, and they should have something to do with the edge of the universe, otherwise human beings would not do this.

"Change course, let's go check it out." Lin Xu decided.

"Understood, change course and head to the nearest ruin." The voice of the Luminous Wonder on duty sounded in the Skylark.

In the next moment, the spatial transition channel in front of the Skylark changed the position of the upcoming jump, not another river system 100,000 light-years away, but the location of the anomaly detected by hyperspace radar thousands of light-years away.

Immediately, the Skylark entered the spatial jump channel, and when it reappeared, it had already come to a completely ruined river system.

That's right, it's the Ruined River System.

Half of the river system, which is in sight, has been completely beaten into ruins.

Countless billions of stars have been destroyed, and the ruins of planets far more than the number of stars are scattered all over the small half of the river system, tens of thousands of light-years.

This is a real ruined river system, it is the first time that Lin Xu has walked so far from the solar system to the edge of the universe.

"This range is too big, how many god-level civilizations were at war with humans in the first place?" Nan Zhu leaned on the porthole and looked at the boundless ruins, his eyes full of incredulity.

"Judging from the residual energy reaction, as well as the equipment fragments on the battlefield, the opponent should only have one god-level civilization." Lin Xu replied.

"Only one god-level civilization? Can you fight like this with humans? Nan Candle was puzzled.

Not only Nan Zhu was puzzled, but the rest of the people were also puzzled, only Alyssa had a different opinion.

"You underestimate the god-level civilization too much, is it so easy to destroy the Kramar people before, which makes you have the illusion that the god-level civilization is easy to bully?" Alyssa spoke.

"Isn't it?" Nan Zhu wondered.

"You think god-level civilization is easy to deal with, because the humans after the ascension are too strong, and they can easily crush the Kramars, so that the Kramars can't even resist."

"But the humans who fought against this god-level civilization here back then haven't ascended yet! Although the human race back then should have easily destroyed this god-level civilization, it was obvious that they did not have the ability to control the scale of the war to a certain extent, or that god-level civilization could still be dying. Therefore, their dying struggle will spread to the entire river system on a large scale, which is inevitable. Alyssa explained.

"The explanation is simple and easy to understand, understood." Nan Candle gave Arisa a thumbs up in the face.

Alyssa immediately turned her head away, showing disdain, but in fact, everyone could see that she was just tsundere.

"By the way, a normal battle between two god-level civilizations is very easy to destroy several river systems, and the scale of the war is even more protracted, maybe it can last for tens of thousands of years, or even hundreds of thousands of years. Therefore, it is already inconceivable to completely wipe out a god-level civilization in a short period of time without destroying only half of the river system. Alyssa thought for a moment and added.

"I understand, but what did this god-level civilization do back then to make the human race directly exterminate? And those advanced civilizations that I encountered along the way, and even some civilizations that didn't leave the planet, were also wiped out by humans, what is going on? Nan Zhu was still puzzled.

"Yes, killing civilizations at will is not the style of human beings, is it what those civilizations have done?" Lu Yao also wondered.

"But what kind of civilization that hasn't left the planet yet, what can it do that people and gods are angry about, so that human beings can simply wipe it out?" Alyssa was puzzled.

This time, even Alyssa couldn't solve the doubts.

Several people looked at Lin Xu together, but unfortunately Lin Xu was also confused.

So in the next moment, the space outside the Skylark opened, and a large number of autonomous mechanical aggregates poured out from Lin Xu's personal space, heading towards the battlefield that destroyed half of the river system and hundreds of millions of stars.

Lots of stellar fragments, planetary fragments, are scattered in every corner of the battlefield.

It is also mixed with a large number of nanobots, fragments of autonomic mechanical aggregates, and fragments of war machines of god-level civilizations that are more than a hundred times more than a thousand times larger.

Even after so many years, the weapon fragments left over from the god-level civilization on the battlefield are still as clean as new, and it can be seen from here that the technical level of this god-level civilization is worthy of the level of god-level civilization.

Any fragment here, falling into the hands of a higher civilization, is estimated to become a priceless treasure, enough for that advanced civilization to study for tens of thousands of years.

And here it is everywhere, in every corner of tens of thousands of light years.

Lin Xu released a large number of autonomous mechanical aggregates, but in the range of tens of thousands of light years, the number of these autonomous mechanical aggregates was extremely rare.

Lin Xu, who once thought that he had enough self-discipline mechanical aggregates, suddenly found that he was still too naïve.

So he decided that the factories on Earth could not be stopped, and that they had to continue to produce more autonomous mechanical aggregates.

Countless autonomous mechanical aggregates directly opened the spatial transition channel, jumping to every corner of the tens of thousands of light-years ruins, and conducted reconnaissance and analysis of the entire battlefield.

In the end, it was determined that this god-level civilization was indeed destroyed by humans, and before this god-level civilization was destroyed, it seemed that it was unwilling to detonate many ultimate weapons, although it did not cause much harm to humans, but it led to the destruction of hundreds of millions of stars in this star field.

But the reason why human beings destroyed this god-level civilization was not investigated after all.

The autonomic mechanical aggregate released nanobots and searched all the storage systems on the remnants of these god-level civilizations, and only found some information about the god-level civilization itself, such as the home planet of this god-level civilization and the most elite colonial planet, which was also destroyed along with the destruction of hundreds of millions of stars.

However, the reason for the evil relationship between god-level civilization and human beings has not been found.

Even the autonomous mechanical aggregate controlled the remaining nanobots on the battlefield, and wanted to extract the combat information of the year from these nanobots.

It's a pity that what I found was only part of the images of the fierce battles on the battlefield during the battle, and there was no content related to the reasons for the battle at all.

In the end, even Lin Xu could only temporarily withdraw the self-discipline mechanical polymer, because if he searched for a needle in a haystack, there would be no results.

However, just as the autonomic mechanical aggregates were withdrawn, some of them suddenly detected a signal that they were still running on the battlefield.

It's just that the communication method of this signal is a bit backward, and it doesn't seem to belong to the god-level civilization that has been destroyed.

"Let's take a look." In any case, this is a breakthrough, Lin Xu commanded with a lift of spirits.

A large number of autonomic mechanical aggregates returned, but some of them headed for the location where the signal was given.

Eventually, on the edge of the tens of thousands of light-years range, a handful of spaceships were spotted cautiously exploring the ruins of the battlefield.

Judging from the results of the distant reconnaissance of the autonomous mechanical aggregate, the civilization level to which these spaceships belong should be considered very powerful among the massive civilizations in the universe.

In fact, more than 90% of the massive civilizations in the universe are civilizations that are still trapped in the planet, and only a small number of them can get out of the planet and become recognized interstellar civilizations, even if they are only low-level civilizations in the universe, but after all, they are also interstellar civilizations.

And the civilization in front of us has obviously crossed the threshold of a lower civilization and reached the level of a higher civilization.

Because the spaceship of this civilization is obviously equipped with a curvature engine.

Although this curvature engine should only be two to three times the speed of light according to the detection of autonomous mechanical aggregates, it is also a proper advanced interstellar civilization.

It's just that compared to the human and god-level civilizations on both sides of the battlefield ruins, such a high-level civilization will seem very weak, but in fact, in the universe, such a high-level civilization is beyond the reach of many low-level civilizations.

Boom, a spaceship that was exploring the edge of the ruins accidentally touched an antimatter bomb that had not yet been detonated by a god-level civilization, and in an instant, several spaceships equipped with curvature engines dissipated into the universe with the explosion.

This caused a wave of confusion in the rear fleet, but after calming down, the rear fleet continued to send ships to continue exploring the ruins.

Because compared to these losses, the allure of the technology in the ruins, which is far beyond their imagination, is too great.

"Commander, we've lost thirteen ships in a row, and such losses are more than we can bear."

"But the rest of our ships are already filled with the special metals in the ruins, and we've even obtained relatively functional fragments of the ruins, which far outweighs the losses."

"However, the officers and men are almost unable to bear such losses, and the people in the fleet are panicking, and no one wants their spaceship to be the next explorer."

"I can't afford this loss for the sake of the Empire, are they still soldiers of the Empire?"

The Commander, who was high up in the sky, his eyes were full of fanaticism, and he was almost able to get the weapon that was still in good condition, and if he could bring it back, he would surely be rewarded by His Majesty the Emperor.

In comparison, the loss of some ships, and some of the personnel, is completely acceptable.

As for the complaints of the soldiers, he did not take them to heart at all.

It's nothing more than some inferior people who are afraid of death, and for an imperial nobleman like him, how could he ever care about the life and death of civilian soldiers.

The nanobots that infiltrated the spacecraft quietly observed all of this and relayed the signal to the Skylark, which was 10,000 light-years away, on the other side of the battlefield ruins.

"It's Chinese!" Nan Zhu was surprised that Chinese was also spoken here.

"It's Chinese." Mu Xiyue was sure that she did speak Chinese, which was not surprising.

"With their curvature navigation technology, the home planet where civilization is located should not be far away, look for it." Lin Xu ordered.

However, at two or three times the speed of light, according to the general law, the distance of the parent star should not exceed 100 light-years.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for the Autonomic Mechanical Aggregate to find the home planet of the fleet.

A galaxy fifty light-years away from the edge of the ruins.

In addition, there are two other galaxies in the 30 and 60 light-years that have intelligent life reactions, but according to the calculations of the autonomic mechanical aggregates, those two galaxies should only be colonies.

The galaxy, which is only fifty light-years away, not only has a large number of intelligent life, but even has the reaction of the curvature compression production line unique to the curvature engine factory, and this galaxy is also far more prosperous than the other two galaxies, and each planet is very mature.

"Do you think this civilization will know anything?" Lin Xu was a little hesitant, whether to waste time to take a look.

Because normally speaking, although this civilization can be regarded as a high-level civilization, it is obviously not qualified to be involved in the affairs between humans and god-level civilizations, so even if it is to investigate, it is estimated that it will be a waste of time, and there will be no results.

"Forget it, this civilization is too weak, they may not even have heard of humans, and how do they know why humans want to destroy so many civilizations." South candles are not recommended.

"I don't think it makes much sense either." Lu Yao also said.

But soon, after the nanobots transmitted back by the autonomic mechanical aggregate invaded the system hosts of those curvature spaceships, the information obtained made several people immediately change their attention.

There is nothing special to pay attention to in the intelligence, and the records are basically some routes, as well as some basic information about the civilization.

But above the message called the Emperor's Decree, the first one at the top reads.

"The day of the return of mankind, the time of the destruction of the universe!"

"Damn, I guessed wrong, they know humans!" Nan Zhu immediately burst into foul language.

"No, they don't know, maybe only their emperor knows." Lu Yao shook his head and said.

"There is no information about human beings in the server, only this is in the emperor's order, maybe the soldiers don't know, but the higher-ups know." Nan Zhu touched his chin and guessed.

"What the hell is going on, just grab it and ask it clearly." Lin Xu decided more simply.

PS: Ask for a monthly pass, ask for a recommended ticket.
