Chapter 54: The Great Cleanup! A Civilization That Escaped the Strike!
This impact lasted for a long time, until the entire star system was impacted again and again.
Without the gravitational pull of the star, the planets' movements became chaotic.
It's estimated that soon, they will all deviate from their previous orbits, collide with each other, and be destroyed.
After a long while, a small channel appeared again.
"Detect the status of the target star system!"
"Yes!"
"Detected that the star has been destroyed... numerous planets have been impacted, their surfaces are in ruins!"
"Check if there are still traces of civilization! And if any planets evaded the strike!"
"Yes!"
"Accessing dark matter information... all planets no longer show any traces of civilization... all celestial bodies have been impacted to varying degrees... no planets evaded the strike!"
"Inference... civilization has been wiped out!"
"Very good, close the wormhole channel! Start selecting the next target!"
Inside the command room, a group of people cheered excitedly. This strike was very successful, just as anticipated in theory.
This light-particle weapon is highly efficient and economical.
"Grand Priest, how is it? The effect is quite good, isn't it!"
Zhuo Yuanming also showed a satisfied smile: "Indeed, it's good. This way, we can implement batch strikes, greatly shortening the time required.
But we must not neglect our own Technology development. Only with continuous progress in Technology can we be the implementers of strikes, and not the ones being struck!"
"That is natural. Under the glory of my Lord, no civilization can surpass our evolutionary pace! Let him be strong; a gentle breeze brushes the mountain peak!"
Everyone said solemnly.
God-Given Year 225, during these years, the Human Race continuously carried out light-particle strike operations, destroying no less than a hundred thousand stars.
This is a terrifying number; the number of living beings destroyed under such strikes alone is more than hundreds of millions.
This is also the darkness of the universe; the weak do not even know what happened before they die, perishing in their dreams like mayflies.
Within five years, Zhuo Yuanming and others also did not discover any civilization capable of resisting light-particle strikes. Basically, once a strike was confirmed, it already sealed that civilization's fate.
In addition, the Human Race naturally knew that within these five years, it was enough for nearby civilizations to capture information about the disappearance of those stars.
At this time, in different parts of this star system.
"What's going on? Recently, I've captured information about many stars suddenly dying..."
The Star Lord's brows furrowed. There were many other star systems within five light-years of his star system.
But without exception, all these stars perished one after another within five years.
Calculated by time, this was five years ago, meaning that five years ago, all the star systems near him were destroyed.
"So many instances, it can't be accidental. Then it must be man-made... This is not good..."
The Star Lord's eyes narrowed slightly, his face full of worry.
A civilization capable of destroying many star systems would certainly be one he couldn't contend with.
"I hope they haven't discovered me. However, my civilization is now at Level 1.5. If I hurry a bit more, I can advance to a Level 2 civilization. I wonder what the test for a Level 2 civilization is."
The Star Lord mused.
If it was merely a method of striking stars, with his current strength, he could naturally resist it, so there was no need to worry too much.
Suddenly, a channel quietly opened within his star system.
A ray of extreme light burst forth, and the channel closed with it. Everything happened in an instant.
By the time he reacted, that beam of light was already about to strike the star.
"Oh no! It's my turn!"
The Star Lord was shocked. What he worried about came true! He only had the means to counter strikes, but he didn't want to face them!
"Damn it! I can only communicate with the sacrificial rules!"
Forced into a corner, he could only sacrifice a part of his strength to allow the rules to obliterate that light-particle strike, otherwise there wouldn't be enough time to intercept it.
"Buzz—!"
Terrifying rule power descended. At a certain cost, the terrifying rule power directly erased that beam of light from this universe.
And his own strength rapidly plummeted. Originally, he was at the peak of a Level 3 Star Lord, but instantly fell to the point of just entering Level 3 Star Lord.
"Damn it! Hundreds of years of my arduous cultivation!"
He was furious. All of it was accumulated through time and a large number of creation points, and it turned into nothing in a few breaths. How could he not be angry?
At this moment, still in his anger, he had not yet realized the seriousness of the situation.
If he abandoned his civilization and escaped this universe, he would have a chance to start over, but... there are no 'ifs' in life... After a long while, a channel quietly opened again.
"Confirm target status!"
"Yes! Target has... wait! The target is unharmed!"
One person habitually intended to say the target was destroyed, but suddenly realized something was wrong and exclaimed in alarm.
This exclamation also attracted the attention of others.
So everyone looked sideways at the monitoring screen. That azure blue glowing star was still burning slowly, with no trace of having been struck.
"Hehe... interesting..."
Zhuo Yuanming sneered. Such a result merely confirmed the existence of a relatively high-level civilization within this star system.
"Grand Priest, what should we do now?"
Everyone asked, but they weren't worried; rather, they were excited. It had been a long time since they had sparred with other civilizations, and they were a bit eager, possessing advanced Technology but nowhere to unleash it.
"Let's go play with that civilization... Send out a Water Drop, first ascertain their civilization level. If the opponent is at a Level 2 civilization, then we will temporarily postpone targeting them and settle the score when our Technology breaks through to another level.
If the opponent is below a Level 2 civilization... then everyone... this is a rare opportunity for practice!"
Zhuo Yuanming said.
"Yes!"
"Water Drop activated! Mission—detect traces of civilization, ascertain the opponent's civilization level!"
"Whoosh!"
The Water Drop passed through the wormhole, instantly arriving in this star system. At one-tenth the speed of light, the Water Drop continuously traversed within the star system, beginning to detect all planets in its path.
Finally, perseverance paid off. At a distance of 150 million kilometers from this star, the Water Drop detected traces of civilization.
"Civilization traces discovered!"
"Continue with detection!"
The Water Drop didn't conceal itself, directly rushing towards that planet. Such a movement was naturally discovered by the Star Lord of this star system.
"What is this?"
Looking at the object constantly approaching him, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he suddenly realized something was wrong: "Oh no! It's the opponent's detection object!"
He quickly attacked, attempting to destroy the Water Drop detector.
But with the absolute hardness of the Water Drop detector's surface, how could a Level 3 Star Lord possibly destroy it?
It directly ignored his attacks and openly rushed into his world.
"Damn it! What exactly is this thing! Why can't it be destroyed!"
He didn't dare to delay and immediately gave chase, attempting to intercept it.
Inside the Earth Star command room.
"Start collecting material information!"
"Material information collecting..."
"Mobilize dark matter to analyze its civilization's developmental history!"
"Dark matter analyzing..."
Everyone continuously operated, and a large amount of data began to flash by, but under the Celestial Computer's immense computing power, it was quickly processed completely.
