Deep Space Wandering Fleet-Chapter 621 - 617 Cosmic Governance

The Amoeba Civilization’s giant insect continued to say, "... We affectionately refer to their actions as exerting a great deal of effort to clone their own population! But if they wanted to clone a population, why bother going through all the trouble? Just clone directly, there’s no need to painstakingly cultivate here, so their philosophy is said to be quite a failure."

"The Simov Civilization left, and it also took away the various sub-civilizations it had cloned."

"We still don’t know where the Simov Civilization has run off to; perhaps they changed their way of thinking during long-term practice... If your civilization has any clues about this, please inform us, and we will pay a certain amount of Amoeba Points for this."

"... Some scientific remnants left by the Simov Civilization remain in the Milky Way, to be found by some lucky civilizations."

"Perhaps some among you have also received the graces of the Simov Civilization..."

Zhang Yuan and his companions looked at each other, his heart filled with envy as he sighed, "There are indeed civilizations in the universe much luckier than humans!"

Humans, after all, had not been so fortunate to stumble upon relics of such an advanced civilization.

As the governors of the Milky Way, the Simov Civilization must have been the most powerful civilization in the galaxy at the time; any low-level civilization that picked up even a bit of their legacy would benefit for life. Although a long, long time had passed, Zhang Yuan did not believe that the technology within was outdated.

"... The second generation of governors were known as the Tabi Civilization."

Zhang Yuan’s heart stirred, and he listened carefully to the news being disseminated by the Amoeba giant insect.

"In fact, the Tabi Civilization is not a single civilization, but an exceptionally powerful civilization faction, whose influence spread throughout the entire Virgo Cluster!"

"There are endless low-level civilizations in the universe, and for various innate and acquired reasons, they can never leave their own planet."

"The Tabi civilization, however, is willing to provide indirect assistance to certain very primitive civilizations."

"Or perhaps, your own civilization has once received the help of the Tabi Civilization."

"During this period, the Milky Way achieved a high degree of prosperity. Some civilizations that originally could not venture out from their planets also ventured out into the stars. Our Amoeba Faction was invited to organize interstellar trading markets in various regions during this time, promoting the prosperity of the Milky Way."

"But with high prosperity also came a plethora of contradictions and conflicts."

"Especially the sharp ideological conflicts between Level 5 Civilizations, unable to compromise with one another."

"You may have heard of the war between Deep Red Industrial Union and Green Star Civilization that lasted for hundreds of thousands of years, ending with the annihilation of one civilization by another; this is a true portrayal of that era."

"Why did such a thing happen? Because some civilizations that practice Cosmic Governance inherently conflict with each other; one faction wants to transform the universe in one way, while another faction wants to define the universe in another way, and naturally, contradictions occur."

"The Tabi Civilization, in order to give way for these subsequent civilizations, left the Milky Way two million years ago, and its last follower also left the Milky Way one hundred and fifty thousand years ago."

"Over such a lengthy period, countless civilizations have become mediocre with the passage of time, gradually being eliminated. From then on, the influence of the Tabi Civilization gradually faded."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Yuan took a deep breath, and a mystery was finally solved.

That is, the "Enlightener Civilization" that once helped a multitude of civilizations must have been part of the Tabi Civilization, and might have once given a small helping hand to humans on Earth.

However, this information had long scattered into the distant past and was no longer possible to retrieve.

Even the civilization that had once helped the Horror Upright Apes might not care much about that fact.

"...The Tabi Civilization’s last great creation is this very Dyson Sphere! With this Dyson Sphere, countless civilizations that have just developed basic astronomical observation capabilities will be able to discover it and then realize the existence of powerful civilizations in the Universe. What will they do, I wonder? It’s truly an interesting thing!"

After pausing for a while, the giant insect continued, "The third Governor of the Milky Way was the Amoeba Civilization, which is us. Essentially, we’re just collaborators of the Tabi Civilization, not proper Governors, and we’re not practitioners of Cosmic Governance."

"After the Tabi Civilization withdrew, the Amoeba Faction’s interstellar trading market became the most powerful political force in the Milky Way, consolidating the situation in the galaxy to a certain extent."

"With our belief in the multicivilization concept, we are willing to act as a stabilizer for peace here. Besides, this Dyson Sphere is not yet fully constructed, and we need to fulfill the promises we made."

"However, time passed for far too long... We suddenly realized that all the civilizations amassing near the trading markets had become Sinking Civilizations."

"This place is too safe, too comfortable, the civilizations have no drive to develop, just gathering around the trading markets..."

"Firstly, let me state that we are not qualified Governors. We don’t care whether the Universe is full of wars or peace, nor whether more interesting civilizations are born. We are not an exceedingly intelligent species; we crave interesting thoughts and novel concepts from other civilizations, but unfortunately, Sinking Civilizations cannot bring these..."

"Therefore, we will leave this lifeless expanse of space..."

"The next Governor will be the Alef Civilization. This is a branch of the Noah Faction, and its philosophy is a singular culture, not the multicivilization previously advocated."

"The Noah Faction is part of the Hephaestus Faction, advocating a singular culture, and its main civilization is in the distant Fornax Arc..."

"The failure of multicivilization theory will inevitably lead to the rise of singular culture. You may disagree with the new Governor, you may resist, but the only certainty is that the weak do not have the power to oppose."

The giant insect announced finally, "All AmiBa Interstellar Trading Markets in the Milky Way will be withdrawn within sixteen hundred years, and all Amoeba Faction Trading Fleets will completely withdraw within sixty thousand years. Of course, within these sixty thousand years, your AmiBa Points in hand will remain valid and will not become worthless..."

"Inside this Dyson Sphere, we have left Superluminal Communication devices. Any civilization can spend points at any time to buy the technology they want... To compensate for our departure, all technology of Fourth-level Civilizations will be discounted by 20%, and technology of Level 5 Civilizations, by 10%!"

"To us, survival or reproduction doesn’t mean much, but we can understand how you are feeling at this moment."

"Goodbye, friends of the Milky Way! We hope this clearance sale brings you some gains!"

After this statement, there was no further sound. The light and shadow gradually dissipated, and the giant insect became blurred, as if the entire space was shifting to another place.

Subsequently, a colossal spaceship appeared above the plaza, spraying colorful ion flames.

This was a standard celebration ceremony in interstellar etiquette.

However, just a few seconds later, the entire venue trembled, nobody cared about the so-called celebration. The news was too shocking!

All the aliens were discussing something. Since there was no atmosphere here to conduct sound, they couldn’t hear each other, but Zhang Yuan felt the ground vibrating slightly.

His pupils contracted slightly, overcome with shock after shock.

"Singular culture" – what did that truly mean? The Amoeba Civilization had not given a real explanation.

But taken literally, it meant the idea of a single culture. To replace multicivilization with a singular culture, to replace inferior cultures with a superior one.
