Astral Ants

At supply point No. 1704, the fleets that were scattered across the starry sky for reconnaissance returned one after another and uploaded the collected observation data.

Following the army was the Baiwei Chamber of Commerce’s interstellar fortress.

The intelligent computer system 'Lao Luoli' integrates the data brought back by the reconnaissance fleet, summarizes and calculates, creates a complete star map, and marks important star navigation positioning coordinates.

In the fortress's command cabin, Hong Tao was always paying attention to the changes in the star map.

"President of Hearts, that's not right!"

Finally, a spider realized that something was wrong and came over. "According to convention, every time President Bai Wei and the others return, they will send us a location message even if they are 100 million light years away. Then they will wait on the road for us to join them."

"According to the time, the location information should have been sent back long ago..."

"The possibility of an accident is almost zero." Hong Tao calmly shook her antennae and said, "Wait and see."

The wait was two hundred years.

The scattered reconnaissance fleets returned in full force, but still failed to receive the positioning information sent back by Bai Wei and her group.

——Something happened?

Hongtao issued an order, leaving three reconnaissance ships at the supply point 1704 to provide support, and the main fleet set off at full speed.

After a long voyage full of tension and anxiety, one day, almost all the reconnaissance ships simultaneously sensed the familiar gravitational fluctuations: positioning information.

——The information came from 500 million kilometers ahead, which is the location of the mission exploration.

Then there is another prompt message:

——Crystal throne?
——Suspected to be the Kast elemental civilization!
...

...

Bai Wei and her group of insects are much more curious about the Kast elemental civilization than the White Tower civilization.

The White Tower Civilization is a life form that is highly similar to the Divine Tree Civilization, except that their life forms and survival methods are different.

The Kast Elemental Civilization is different. It was evolved from the divine power overflowing from a special ancient artifact. It is a unique civilization in the entire universe.

Bai Wei drove the Shadow reconnaissance ship straight forward 1000 million light years.

The observation distance is shortened to 3800 million light-years.

Peanut teleported out of the cabin, activated the sunburn ability, accurately locked the position of the galaxy, collected light information, and gathered it to form a holographic projection.

The picture is much clearer.

After ten million years of evolution, the entire galaxy has become generally stable.

Zooming in on the image and slowly switching perspectives to search, a star system was soon discovered.

A transformed white star emitting pure white light, in a fixed orbit of about 1 million kilometers, with 22 black and white crystalline planets orbiting around it.

“There are fewer planets.”

"Secondary source star system?"

"Peanut, switch perspective!"

The image is deflected at faster-than-light speed.

Peanut used his intelligent brain to its fullest potential. The picture suddenly paused, locked onto a star system, and quickly zoomed in.

Another star system shining with white light.

In orbits of the same altitude, 14 black and white crystalline planets orbit around it.

First-level source star system?

Without any prompting, Peanut continued to switch perspectives, using his intelligent brain to help filter information, and soon stopped at a galaxy.

This galaxy is much larger, has brighter stars, and is orbited by as many as 41 planets.

There is no doubt that it is a third-level source star system with a high concentration of Force.

Bai Wei said: "After more than 10 million years of development, the Kast Elemental Civilization has developed all the first, second, and third level source points in the star system."

Bai Wei asked: "Where is the zero-level source point?"

"Let me look for it!"

Peanut continued his search.

Soon, the picture froze on a star system with a faint white glow, around which there were only seven black and white crystalline planets orbiting.

It is undoubtedly the zero-level source.

The Kast Elemental Civilization also developed and utilized the zero-level source point.

Bai Wei concluded: "After more than 10 million years of development, the Kestian Elemental Civilization has completed the comprehensive development and utilization of the entire galaxy."

The grass dragon raised its claws and asked in doubt, "Are you sure this is the Kester Elemental Civilization?"

Yudou said, "I can't see clearly. I'm not sure."

Bai Wei asked, "Peanut, try to get closer."

Peanut tried to get closer, but the picture quickly became blurry.

"No. 3800 million light years is still too far. If you want to see the interior of a planet clearly, you have to be within 100 million light years, which is the limit of Sunburn's ability."

Peanut added: "My Sunburn ability has reached the ultimate level."

"I know……"

Bai Wei's eyes flashed, and she said, "Then you lock onto a third-level source point and continue to observe. Find their starship? Track and observe, and determine the speed of their starship first!"

Peanut said: "That doesn't work either. The starship target is too small and can't be seen clearly at this distance."

"hiss--"

Bai Wei: "Then let's..."

Fei Yang quickly reminded: "President Bai Wei, the starship's endurance is less than 1000 million light years."

"I know……"

Bai Wei looked back and said, "Hong Tao and the others must have received the positioning information and prompt information, and are now on their way to catch up. Let's go forward. There may be a source of supplies in the interstellar dust cloud ahead. Let's go there and wait to join the main fleet."

"President Bai Wei is smart!"

"President Bai Wei is wise!"

"Follow the command of President Bai Wei!"

"..."

The insects agreed.

The starship quickly arrived at the target location.

Scanning and detection have revealed that there is a planet that was formed not long ago and is in a hot molten state deep in the interstellar dust cloud.

Gliding at sub-light speed, taking a closer look, and searching the vicinity, I was surprised to find a zero-level source point with a Force concentration of 0.4.

The starship hovered and overlapped with the source point, absorbing the force and quickly completed the replenishment.

"..."

"When will the red hearts arrive?"

"Sixty thousand years from now?"

"We're going to wait here for 60,000 years?"

"seems like it."

“Isn’t this a waste of life?”

“It’s a bit wasteful.”

"That's not as good as..."

"Let's go a little further."

"I can see it."

"Yu Teng, please remember to keep your location information."

Led by Bai Wei, the other insects reached an agreement in a few words. Without any nonsense, the starship continued to sail forward.

...

...

A dark, empty star region with a radius of 5 light years and almost no large-scale material clusters.

A little red light flickers.

A red dwarf star was formed under abnormal circumstances. Sparse meteorites are slowly orbiting around it at a distance of 4 million kilometers, pulled by gravity.

Judging from tens of millions of years of experience in interstellar navigation, this kind of place is most likely to derive a source point.

The Shadow reconnaissance ship leaped over and traveled at sub-light speed.

With the flashing white light, a group of 10 insects including Baiwei, Caolong, Yudou, Qingtao, Nandi, Zhuban, Feiyang, Feipeng, Yuteng and Huasheng were teleported out of the cabin and lined up in a line on the left and right sides of the starship, with an interval of 30 billion kilometers.

Centered on the star system, investigate and search.

This time, it seemed that they didn't have the same good luck as before. Two hundred years later, when everyone was seriously doubting their judgment and hesitating whether to change the place to look for it, Nan Di suddenly exerted his soul-fixing ability and sent a group message:
"Found it! The first-level source!"

Successfully found the supply source again!

And this place is only 1800 million light-years away from the target galaxy.

After a brief discussion, we decided to move forward.

...

After a long voyage, the Shadow reconnaissance ship came within a distance of 1000 million light years.

An open airspace was selected and the starship hovered.

The insects were teleported out of the cabin.

Peanut skillfully activated the Sunburn ability, collecting light information from the surrounding airspace and forming a giant three-dimensional screen with a length of three kilometers.

On the light curtain, a three-arm galaxy slowly emerged.

Officially named 'Keister-1 System'.

The sight distance is rapidly shortened, and then shortened again.
Peanut accurately locked onto a third-level source star system that had 44 black and white crystal-textured planets built on it.

The undulating mountains on the planet are faintly visible.

There are also dark "abysses" that are suspected to be intentionally created "basins".

One of the planets has a white star ring with faint colorful light refraction. When you zoom in and take a closer look, you can see that it is indeed just a star ring made up of countless tiny crystalline "meteorites", not a star port, and no starship is found docked.

If you look carefully, you will find that this is the only planet with a ring in the entire galaxy. It is obviously a symbol of special status, a gathering place for the top leaders of civilization, and an important place of civilization such as political, economic, and military center.

Peanut locked the screen on this galaxy, and all the bugs focused their attention on the planets with star rings in the galaxy and continued to observe them.

Ten years, twenty years, thirty years...

It's strange, there are no starships approaching.

One hundred years, two hundred years... It was so strange, as if a still picture. During the long two hundred years, there was no movement at all, and not even a single starship was observed entering or leaving the galaxy.

Absolutely not normal!

"Peanut, is there something wrong with your sunburn ability?"

"There is nothing wrong with my ability..."

"Could it be that the enemy's starship has extremely advanced stealth capabilities and cannot be observed through optical information at all?"

"Impossible. When a starship jumps and tears apart space, there will definitely be an explosion of energy and light. If there is no defense, there should also be corresponding spatial fluctuations transmitted."

"I haven't detected any corresponding spatial fluctuations either~"

"Is this third-level source star system too important, and has it deployed sophisticated defense and anti-reconnaissance equipment?"

"Correct!"

"Let's try a zero-level or first-level source star system?"

"Change one!"

Peanut thought about it and felt it made sense. The picture turned and quickly locked onto a first-level source point.

The insects patiently observed for another three hundred years...

Still no findings.

"It's weird!"

Bai Wei lost her patience.

"To develop and operate a star system, there must be the flow of resources and life forms. If there is flow, there must be starships sailing. It is too abnormal to see starship activities. Let's think about it. What is going on?"

"Derris!"

Bai Wei called out the name.

"..."

The fish vine, which had been dormant and concentrating on comprehending the laws, was awakened and looked around in confusion.

Bai Wei asked, "Yu Teng, what do you think?"

Yuto: "..."

Yu Teng asked back, "Haven't you discovered it yet?"

Bai Wei said unhappily: "No!"

Yu Teng pondered and asked, "Peanut, if we observe from this distance, if the star spiders of our Shenshu civilization are traveling back and forth through the star web, you should not be able to see them clearly, or even not at all, right?"

"!!!"

"Yes!"

The insects immediately understood what Derris meant.

Zhuban suddenly realized, "The Kast Elemental Civilization originated from the Crystal Throne, an ancient artifact! They are unique life forms derived from the power of the True God and cannot be understood by conventional civilization."

"Do they have subspace navigation technology similar to that of the Star Spiders and Star Web? This possibility cannot be ruled out."

Yu Teng said leisurely: "If the Divine Tree Civilization can master it, then other civilizations can certainly do the same."

"Derby, have you thought of this a long time ago?"

"Didn't you tell me earlier?"

"Dervine, you stupid spider, why didn't you tell us earlier? You've wasted five hundred years of our time!"

"What's next?"

"Wait for Hongtao and the others to come over and join us, then get closer for reconnaissance?"

"Keep going forward. We must be careful and not alert the enemy... What can we do if Hong Tao and the others come over? We can only send one or two scout ships and approach carefully."

"Then, let's..."

"Why don't we take a closer look?"

"It's the same if we go back and find Hongtao and reunite with them."

"Makes sense!"

"..."

The Shadow reconnaissance ship set off again.

...

Sailing in a curve, the distance to the "Keister 100 Galaxy" was shortened to million light years, where there happened to be a discrete cluster of interstellar matter, an excellent natural shelter.

The scout ship leapt in, approaching at sublight speed...

"Alert! Alert! Alert..."

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack! Enemy attack..."

A fierce alarm suddenly sounded from the Shadow reconnaissance ship.

The insects that were waiting to go out of the cabin to check were instantly alerted and activated the teleportation portal one after another.

Peanut has the sharpest combat intuition, and with a quick glance, he immediately spotted the clue.

"Not good! The mass of matter ahead is probably a hidden post! The enemy has discovered us, and something is coming at us at an incredible speed!"

"run?"

"Why are you running?"

"Prepare for battle!"

"What's coming?"

"It should be a Kast elemental body that has spatial talent and is proficient in spatial abilities!"

"It seems to have the ability to travel at sub-light speeds!"

"Don't panic! There aren't many, maybe just one?"

"One? Kill it!"

"Yu Teng, wait for the other party to come over and seal off the space."

"Oh……"

The space in front of Bai Wei distorted, and she first took the Shadow reconnaissance ship into the Shanglu world.

The insects kept a certain distance from each other, with Peanut at the front. Three insects formed a triangle formation, protecting the fish vine in the center.

suddenly,

Peanut slightly turned sideways, raised his paw, and a purple-gold lightning flashed from the tip of his toes.

——A mutated version of vacuum fission purple thunder!

The lightning containing super-strong light capabilities split and split again, like a giant lightning tree, instantly covering a large area of ​​starry sky in front and tearing the space apart.

Amid the stunned gazes of the insects, a somewhat familiar figure fell out in a panic...

Its entire body is made of translucent white crystal, and it is over 133 meters tall, with two feet and two arms. There are slender tentacles extending from its head. At the tip of the tentacles are sharp blades condensed from pure spatial divine power...

artist!
Longbai often controls the essence of the water-based innate gods to transform himself into an artist, and the insects can recognize him at a glance.

only……

An artist with elemental body type Kester? His body has expanded 10 times?
Yu Teng’s speculation was correct, it was indeed using the ability of subspace navigation!

The white crystal-textured 'artist' was forced out of the subspace by Peanut's ability, and was also shocked by the strength of Peanut's ability...

It just noticed some strange spatial fluctuations here and came to check the situation...

Alien civilization, alien warriors? Such strong alien warriors!
The white crystal 'artist' was stunned for a moment, and then tried to escape into the subspace again...

Peanut opened his mouth and a stream of cold air blew out.

Ice silence!

The cold air spread instantly, and the large area of ​​air ahead seemed to be frozen.

"Derris! Quick! Stop being in a daze!"

Zhuban shook his mental power and scolded.

"only one."

"Don't kill me!"

"Caught alive!"

"President Bai Wei, the soul-calming ability!"

Kusaurus and Yuzu shouted while shaking their mental powers.

"Oh……"

"it is good……"

Yu Teng came back to his senses, and the divine power in his body surged and spread.

Orderly space and time!

The space within a radius of 300 million kilometers solidified instantly, blocking all space-crossing type abilities and restraining almost all space type abilities.

Bai Wei's eight spider eyes flashed scarlet light rapidly, and the ninth pupil on her forehead opened, as black as ink.

The artist, made of white crystal, waved tentacles above his head and attempted to attack.

The moment the ninth pupil locked onto it, the movements froze, and the front paw that had just been raised froze, motionless.

Golden light and shadow shone, and invisible spatial force passed by.

The two front legs were cut off first, and the pulling of spatial force disappeared.

The next moment, the two upright hind legs disappeared.

The tentacles on his head broke one after another...

Peanut, Qingtao, Caolong, Yudou, Nandi, Zhuban, Feiyang, and Feipeng moved at the speed of light and moved their claws together, instantly dismembering the 'white crystal texture artist', leaving only a bald head and upper body.

The divine power crisscrossed and bound and suppressed it.

The ninth pupil on Bai Wei's forehead circulates divine power: Tree and Flower Heart Realm

Quickly read the other party's spiritual consciousness and search for important information.

Don't dare to stay.

After three years,
Bai Wei withdrew her ability, opened her mouth, and let out a sharp roar of mental power and thought, which shattered the opponent's soul into pieces.

Peanut's eyes and claws were swift, a flash of golden light appeared, and then he used a light purification ability to completely erase all traces of the shattered soul.

"Something serious has happened to the White Tower Civilization! Bring the body back! Let Chief Longbai use the Samsara World to read the complete information."

Bai Wei's eyes narrowed slightly, the space was turbulent, and the Shadow Reconnaissance Ship emerged, waving its claws and calling out, "There is danger! Evacuate quickly!" (End of this chapter)
