Light Speed ​​War

Chapter 303: Ten Thousand Years Without a Trace

The vibration of the ring startled Zhou Yuan awake. He knew it was already eight o'clock in the morning, but it was still pitch black inside the cave.

Zhou Yuan opened his ring, illuminating the simple cave dwelling. He quickly dressed, then looked at Kalis. Kalis was still fast asleep, her breathing even, her long, cascading hair obscuring her face. Zhou Yuan hesitated, wondering whether to wake Kalis, say hello, and leave. However, he thought that Kalis possessed the Imperial Invisibility Ring, and he could call her again after some time.

Thinking this, Zhou Yuan tidied himself up a bit, and then, using the light from the hand ring and relying on his memory from last night, he wandered around the long cave. About eight minutes later, he saw some light ahead, which was the only exit of the cave, located halfway up the cliff.

Zhou Yuan quickly bent down and walked out of the cave, then soared into the sky, reaching the top of the cliff where the golden walls of the Pantheon stood before him. Zhou Yuan switched his ring and called out to Nana, whose holographic form appeared.

Good morning, Master.

"Nana, good morning, teleport me to the flagship."

"Yes, Master."

Zhou Yuan quickly arrived at the flagship command center, where Nana was already respectfully waiting for him.

"Nana, order the fleets of the four void star systems to begin the extermination of advanced civilizations. Activate the super-body droplet, optimize the travel path, and exterminate the advanced civilizations in this universe that are traveling faster than light or faster than light."

"Yes, Master."

Nana activated a holographic screen, and as the screen scrolled, Zhou Yuan knew that his command had been issued.

"Master, what should we do with the Empire's second base in this galaxy?"

"Relocate the second base of this galaxy to the vicinity of the super-droplet galactic base."

"clear."

Zhou Yuan started fiddling with his ring and called out to Kalis. A moment later, Kalis appeared, looking sleepy, and covered herself with a sheet.

"Carliss, I had to leave early. I saw you were still fast asleep, so I didn't wake you."

Are you going to the void of space?

Yes. I'm sorry I'll be leaving you for a while.

When will you be back?

"According to the new Earth time, it will take a maximum of seven months."

"Okay, I'll wait for you." Carlisle's eyes were filled with reluctance, and there seemed to be a tear in the corner of her eye.

“Kalis, there are Imperial warships hidden in your sun, and these warships will protect you.”

"After you leave, can I still contact you using this?" Carlisle pointed to the glittering gold ring on her left hand.

"Yes, that's possible. I will deploy hyperspace communication base stations along the route."

"Okay, I'll wait for you to come back."

"Carlisle, wait for me."

"I'm waiting for you."

After saying that, Kalis made a kissing gesture towards Zhou Yuan, and Zhou Yuan leaned in to kiss her too. Kalis waved to Zhou Yuan and then cut off her ring. Zhou Yuan stood there blankly, lost in thought.

Zhou Yuan instructed Nana to begin preparations, such as building a hyperspace communication base station inside the new Earth's sun. After all preparations were complete, the super-body droplet began accelerating into hyperspace.

Under the attack of the Empire's powerful interstellar and starlight fleets, the Kovartga civilization, the closest faster-than-light intelligent civilization to New Earth, located in the Perseus Supercluster, was completely destroyed by the Imperial fleet. The Imperial fleet used several intelligent black hole weapons, followed by interstellar catapults to hyperspace strike the remaining forces of the Kovartga civilization. The Kovartga civilization was the first advanced civilization to be wiped out by the Imperial fleet in this extermination operation.

After the super-body droplet's rapid hyperspace travel and the Imperial Fleet's annihilation of the sixth advanced civilization, the eight star system fleets that had previously left the Eridanus, Boötes, and Capricorn cosmic voids successively wiped out several advanced civilizations. Even the four star system fleets led by Chu Yuzhou completely wiped out the Star Alliance forces. Then, the four star system fleets led by Chu Yuzhou continued to build the "Star System Bridge".

During the process of hyperspace travel and the annihilation of advanced civilizations, the number of super-body droplet hypercube galaxies is also constantly increasing. The newly added galaxies are naturally taken from this universe. Of course, these galaxies must have a black hole at their center and no advanced civilization. If there is an intelligent civilization, it has been wiped out by the Imperial Fleet.

In this three-dimensional universe, the Earth Empire's fleets of over sixty star systems are wreaking havoc and annihilating intelligent civilizations that travel faster than or at the speed of light throughout the entire universe.

Carlis video-calls Zhou Yuan almost every two weeks, telling him about the gods and their activities among ordinary humans. A month after Zhou Yuan left, Carlis said she started vomiting and felt nauseous. Three months later, Carlis told Zhou Yuan that the weather on the mountaintop had turned cold, but she could clearly feel her belly getting bigger, and she was somewhat panicked.

Zhou Yuan told Kalis that she was pregnant and not to panic. Kalis calmed down and was overjoyed. Zhou Yuan said he wanted to return to the Pantheon, but Kalis refused, telling him to finish everything before coming back. So Zhou Yuan continued his conquest to exterminate this intelligent civilization that was traveling at the speed of light in the universe.

It took the Imperial fleet approximately four months to annihilate all advanced intelligent civilizations in the universe that could travel faster than light or at the speed of light.

The Imperial Star Fleet, scattered throughout space, began to merge with the Superbody Droplet, which then quickly reached the vicinity of the Canes Venatici Cosmic Void.

The magnificent four "galactic bridges" had already been built by the four galactic fleets led by Chu Yuzhou. The four galaxies, Tianxing 6, 10, 15 and 19, set off from four directions, embarking on hyperspace travel along their respective "galactic bridges" and heading towards the "isolated galaxy" in the center of the Canes Venatici cosmic void.

The super-body droplet remained at the edge of the void in the Canes Venatici cosmos, closely monitoring the movements of the four star fleets with its super-distance telescope.

Tianxing-6 quickly reached the vicinity of an "isolated galaxy." The supermassive black hole at the center of Tianxing-6 was aligned with the "isolated galaxy." A fleet of starlight from a star cluster separated from Tianxing-6 and flew towards the triple-helix fiber filament vortex at the center of this "isolated galaxy."

On the flagship of the Superbody Waterdrop Galaxy Base, Zhou Yuan saw on the holographic spherical screen that three vortexes were surging and rotating. Each pair of the three spirals was connected at one point, forming a "connected stroke" whole. Each spiral was like a "mosquito coil" swirling around, and each spiral line was fibrous bundle.

As the Starlight Fleet continued to approach the triple-spiral vortex, it suddenly began to spin rapidly, the distance between the spirals widening as the vortex turned into a bottomless abyss. The Starlight Fleet was pulled into the vortex by an irresistible force, and then it could no longer be observed even through the Heavenly Eye.

After the Star Fleet disappeared, the Tri-Helix Vortex returned to normal.

Zhou Yuan ordered the four star system fleets and the neighboring star system to form the "Sky-Sniping Arrow" formation to attack the triple-helix vortex "Island Star System".

The "Sniper Arrows" of the four galaxies and their neighboring galaxies quickly activated and adjusted their positions. Tianxing 6 and the "Sniper Arrows" of the three neighboring galaxies emitted wave after wave of gamma-ray bursts, which directly hit the triple helix vortex.

This time, the "Sniper Arrow" shot seemed to have "angered" the "Island Galaxy". The triple helix vortex of more than fifty "Island Galaxy" in the cosmic void suddenly opened rapidly, and the fibrous bundle-like spiral lines became "thicker" and "thicker".

The four galaxies of Tianxing-6 and many galaxies near the "Island Galaxy" began to collide with the triple helix vortex of those galaxies. The four "galaxy bridges" contracted like rubber bands, and each galaxy in the "galaxy bridges" was forcefully pulled towards the "Island Galaxy".

Chu Yuzhou of Tianxing No. 6 naturally remembered Zhou Yuan's teachings. Seeing that things were not going well, he ordered Tianxing No. 6 to use hyperspace travel to rush towards the "shore" of the cosmic void. However, the power displayed by the triple helix vortex hole was too great. The speed at which the "galaxy bridge" was pulled towards the "isolated island galaxy" was faster than the speed of light, even faster than the speed of Tianxing No. 6's hyperspace travel.

Zhou Yuan naturally sensed something was wrong. Remembering the tag "Zhou Yuan and his four wives," in order to save Chu Yuzhou, Zhou Yuan made the ruthless decision to order the super-body droplet to board the "last train" of the "galactic bridge" and travel through hyperspace to rescue Chu Yuzhou and Tianxing No. 6.

The galaxies of the four "galactic bridges" had long since strayed from the "shore" of the cosmic void, all falling into the triple-helix vortex pits. Tianxing VI was rescued by the super-droplet, which began its return to the "shore," but the "galactic bridges" had been destroyed. The super-droplet crashed into normal space not far from the "shore." All of the more than a thousand galaxies of the four "galactic bridges" were swallowed by those "isolated island galaxies," and even the few galaxies at the tail of the super-droplet were destroyed.

Nana's calculations revealed that, perhaps coincidentally, the super-droplet would need to travel at the speed of light for ten thousand years to accelerate back into hyperspace and reach the "shore" of the cosmic void. Ten thousand light-years is a mere blink of an eye for hyperspace travel; however, with no star systems nearby to utilize, the super-droplet could only travel at the speed of light in normal space. Zhou Yuan attempted to contact Kalis using various devices, including his ring, but received no response. Zhou Yuan somewhat regretted not utilizing the star systems at the edge of the cosmic void. Deploying force field generators in these systems would halve the time required for another hyperspace journey.

Zhou Yuan had no choice but to order the scanning and storage of the consciousness of all human beings, including the Superbody Droplet's star system fleets and imperial fleets. Then, everyone would enter deep hibernation. During this period of deep hibernation, Nana and the intelligent robots would be in charge of all affairs of the Earth Empire.

After scanning, uploading, and storing his consciousness, Zhou Yuan also entered a deep hibernation pod. Although he could choose not to hibernate, he was unwilling to stay awake alone for ten thousand years.

Ten thousand years from now, the humans of the new Earth should be able to travel across galaxies, right?

Kalis, who will you be ten thousand years from now?

My Carlisle, my child, it's all my fault.

In Zhou Yuan's flagship command center, a holographic screen displayed that the hibernation pod automatically closed after Zhou Yuan's body was rapidly frozen.

Before this holographic screen stood a holographic virtual entity radiating a milky-white halo. "Master, why did you wait ten thousand years before I woke you?" "Master, when you wake up, I will give you a big surprise."

Suddenly, the sound of a zither filled the flagship command room. On the huge holographic screen, a full moon hung in the sky, and bonfires blazed everywhere. A handsome and dashing man, full of ambition, held a huqin (a two-stringed bowed instrument) in his left hand and was playing it with his right. Nana, accompanied by Zhou Yuan's zither music, sang, "A hearty laugh echoes across the vast sea, the tides surge on both shores..."
