Rebirth of the Super Battleship

Chapter 785: Parting Once Again

At this moment, two thousand years had already passed since Xiao Yu arrived at the Ursa Major II Dwarf Galaxy. It was also at this time that Xiao Yu made up his mind, starting from now, he would begin preparations, and in one hundred years, he would officially charge toward a Level 7 Civilization.

The key to whether one could enter a Level 7 Civilization lay in whether one could master the space energy formula. It could be said that for a Level 6 peak civilization, if it mastered the space energy formula, then in future development, as long as no accident occurred, it would certainly be able to become a Level 7 Civilization. Without mastering the space energy formula, even if a Level 6 peak civilization struggled for one million years, it would still be a Level 6 Civilization. The difference between the two was fundamental.

There was one method to explore the space energy formula. With Xiao Yu’s current technological strength, Xiao Yu was already able to use this method.

This method was to build a supermassive particle collider and, with the formidable technological strength of a Level 6 Civilization, accelerate a beam of microscopic particles to infinitely close to the speed of light, reaching nearly 99.99999999… of light speed, with hundreds of millions of nines after the decimal point. At such a speed, matter would directly react with space. The space that the particle passed through would be directly melted into energy. By observing a series of data, Xiao Yu would be able to find the space energy formula.

This was the only path to entering a Level 7 Civilization. Xiao Yu knew that even within the Milky Way Galaxy, there were not a few existences that had obtained the qualifications to carry out this experiment, that is, to charge toward a Level 7 Civilization. At least three Taihaos had attempted such experiments. It was precisely because the experiments failed that they became a Taihao Civilization.

It was also possible that conducting this experiment would draw the invigilator’s attention, and the invigilator used its abilities to transform them into a Taihao Civilization, blocking their hope of becoming a Level 7 Civilization.

Other than that, Xiao Yu still could not determine whether charging toward a Level 7 Civilization had a third outcome. At present, it was known that charging toward a Level 7 Civilization had two consequences: one, success; two, becoming the Taihao Civilization. Then was there a third ending, where the attempt failed but the civilization did not change and did not suffer losses, and a fourth ending, where the civilization was destroyed?

Xiao Yu could not confirm any of this.

This meant enormous risk. Xiao Yu did not know what accidents this experiment might bring, but Xiao Yu knew that as long as he did not attempt it, he would never be able to master the space energy formula, and would forever be held down by the Sweepers Civilization.

“Let me see what kind of existence the invigilator really is, and when I try to break through to a Level 7 Civilization, what methods the invigilator will use to influence me…” Xiao Yu murmured, making up his mind.One hundred years passed quickly. With Xiao Yu’s current construction capability, one hundred years was enough to build a super particle collider of such a massive scale.

During these one hundred years, Xiao Yu completely stopped all other construction tasks. He did not build spaceships, did not remodel planets, did not conduct scientific research, but instead put all his energy into building the super particle collider.

At this moment, the super particle collider already existed within Xiao Yu’s small universe. The super particle collider’s width was several hundred kilometers, and its length was nearly 0.1 light years, which was roughly one trillion kilometers long. It was like a ribbon, quietly suspended within Xiao Yu’s small universe.

The final preparatory work had been completed. As long as it was placed into the main universe and fitted with the corresponding energy supply devices, it would be able, within its internal space, to accelerate particle beams to a terrifying speed, to the point that matter could directly react with space.

The super particle collider was not essentially different from the particle colliders Xiao Yu had possessed before. Their function was the same: accelerating particles. The difference was only that the technological content of the two was worlds apart.

“Preparations are complete. It’s time for the most critical step.” Xiao Yu thought silently.

“Leader, I am Xiao Yu.” At this time, for the first time in more than two thousand years, Xiao Yu sent a communication request to the leader of the Pegasus Civilization. “I have some matters to discuss with you.”

“Xiao Yu? Long time no see. What is it?” The leader of the Pegasus Civilization responded extremely quickly. “I’m holding an important meeting. When I heard my assistant say you sent a communication request, I immediately suspended the meeting.”

“Thank you for valuing my matters so much.” Xiao Yu fell silent for a moment, then said, “I’ve decided. Soon, I will officially charge toward a Level 7 Civilization.”

The leader of the Pegasus Civilization also fell silent. Also as a Level 6 peak civilization, although their technological level could not compare to Xiao Yu’s, he could still understand how momentous this matter was.

A Level 6 Civilization and a Level 7 Civilization were completely different forms of existence. A Level 6 Civilization could only be trapped within a galaxy, could only use clever tricks, and expend enormous manpower, material resources, and time to barely manage intergalactic voyages, while a Level 7 Civilization could roam freely across the entire universe, because space itself was a Level 7 Civilization’s source of energy, and space was everywhere.

“Have you prepared? Prepared… to bear the consequences of failure?” the leader of the Pegasus Civilization said. “Sorry, my friend. I don’t think you will fail. It’s just that as leaders, our thinking always tends toward analyzing the worst possibilities.”

“I’m prepared.” Xiao Yu said, then asked, “Have you touched the Level 7 barrier yet?”

“Not yet, but it should be soon.” the leader of the Pegasus Civilization said.

“I’ll scout the path for you first. If I can master the space energy formula, I don’t mind telling it to you. But at this moment, I have something to ask of you.” Xiao Yu said.

“My loyal comrade-in-arms, say what you need. As long as we can do it, we absolutely won’t refuse.” the leader of the Pegasus Civilization said sincerely.

“It’s not really a big matter…” Xiao Yu sighed and said, “Charging toward a Level 7 Civilization is a major event. It’s very likely to draw the attention of the invigilator hidden in the unseen. To prevent accidents, or to avoid affecting you, I will not do this within the Ursa Major Dwarf Galaxy. This place is about seventy thousand light years from the Small Magellanic Cloud. I will travel far to the Small Magellanic Cloud before beginning this experiment.”

Xiao Yu had also considered conducting this experiment in the void rather than within any galaxy, but after thinking it over, he gave up. Because if an accident happened in the void, Xiao Yu would not be able to obtain sufficient material replenishment.

“I don’t advise you to do this.” the leader of the Pegasus Civilization said. “Up to now, we’ve never heard charging toward a Level 7 Civilization affecting other civilizations in the same galaxy. When the three Taihao Civilizations in the Milky Way Galaxy charged toward Level 7, no civilization in the Milky Way Galaxy was affected. You should stay here. During your attempt to charge toward a Level 7 Civilization, if anything unexpected happens, we can provide assistance.”

“No need.” Xiao Yu said. “I’ve already decided. What I want to ask of you is this, while I’m away, help me take care of my kin, and the Arrow Beast race. Set the time as one thousand years. If after one thousand years I still haven’t returned, then you… you should tell the Arrow Beasts that I’m dead, let them decide their own future path, and at the same time carry out genetic modification on my kin’s body, allowing her to integrate into your civilization.”

“Please rest assured. I will complete these two matters for you. As long as our civilization exists for even one day, your kin and the Arrow Beast race will not be harmed. This is our civilization’s vow.” the leader of the Pegasus Civilization said solemnly. “I am waiting for the day you return in triumph.”

“Thank you.” Xiao Yu replied lightly, and controlled his phantom to appear once again on Mars.

“Aya, Lorna, come here. I have some things to tell you.” Xiao Yu beckoned. Zhang Shengya, who was riding on an animal that looked like an elephant, and Lorna, who had transformed into a human-like appearance, came together to Xiao Yu.

“I have some things I need to do, so I have to leave here. To avoid unnecessary trouble, I don’t plan to take you with me. I will separate the entire Solar System from my small universe and entrust you to the Pegasus Civilization’s care. Wait for me here in peace. After one thousand years, I will become a Level 7 Civilization and return here again.”

“Just wait for me here.” As Xiao Yu spoke, he slowly shut down the display of his phantom and controlled the small spaceship to slowly leave. Below, Lorna and Zhang Shengya were shouting something loudly. Xiao Yu heard it, but he did not respond. In the end, Lorna simply grabbed Zhang Shengya and flew up.

“Lorna, go back. Aya can’t survive directly in outer space.” Xiao Yu sighed. “I’ll be fine. I’ll come back in one thousand years. You just wait here in peace.”

“You have to come back. I’ll wait for you here, my only kin, my big brother, you must come back.” At this moment, through the communications equipment, Xiao Yu once again received Zhang Shengya’s voice, which seemed somewhat choked.

Under Xiao Yu’s operation, the entire Solar System was separated out of the small universe. The Pegasus Civilization already had its own small universe. They would take the Solar System back into their small universe and provide comprehensive protection. After everything was finished, Xiao Yu controlled the small universe towing spaceship and entered curvature flight.

“Level 7 Civilization… I will definitely succeed. I will definitely become a Level 7 Civilization.” Xiao Yu thought silently. He took a deep look at the tiny, dim Ursa Major II Dwarf Galaxy, left here, and headed toward the Small Magellanic Cloud seventy thousand light years away.
