Wandering Meteor-Chapter 181 - 180: The Roar of the Quasar

"You have some nerve, daring to snatch what rightfully belongs to me!"

At this moment, the Quasar was filled with rage. As it sent out its mental message, it directly used Gravity Increment to lock on to the Wandering Star System, intending to drag the Wandering Star System into its Accretion Disk.

Originally, the White Star Alliance was almost prey in the mouth of the Quasar. Unexpectedly, the Wandering Star System dared to snatch away its meal halfway, which was tantamount to a provocation. As one of the most terrifying celestial bodies in the Universe and a Celestial Civilization, the Quasar was naturally not going to let the Wandering Star System go and immediately initiated an attack without a word of negotiation.

Buzz!

At this moment, in the center of the Wandering Star System, the Constant Star Lu Chen felt a strong gravitational force locking onto himself, as well as several major celestial bodies within the Wandering Star System. As the gravitational forces of both parties entwined, the massive body of the Constant Star gently began to vibrate.

"The Gravity Strength... indeed exceeds three hundred thousand, nearly reaching six hundred thousand. If the Quasar continues to devour matter, it won’t take long to surpass the six hundred thousand mark, that is, twice the speed of light. Thankfully, the Quasar’s mass has not yet reached this magnitude, no need for excessive entanglement!"

The moment he felt the gravity, Constant Star Lu Chen quickly assessed the basic situation.

Given the urgency of the situation, without much time for discussion, Lu Chen made a decisive decision to use Space Acceleration to escape the Quasar, continuing to fly towards the Cosmic Center.

After all, the Constant Star White Star had already been drained, there was no need to waste more time here.

Although they, the Wandering Star System, do not fear the Quasar, resolving the Quasar wouldn’t be an easy task, and there really is no need to waste time on a risky war that would require a great deal of effort.

As a life commonality with a not so low Civilization Level, any decision they make would, of course, prioritize benefits, and even in times of danger, minimizing losses would be prioritized. free𝑤ebnovel.com

The Constant Star Lu Chen, being an orb that had lived countless years, was very clear about this.

The decision made by Lu Chen was also based on the best judgment from the information available from both sides.

Right now, although the Gravity Strength of the Quasar was frightening, it had yet to reach six hundred thousand, the strength needed to forcibly absorb those traveling at twice the speed of light.

So as long as they moved at full speed, the Quasar could do nothing to them.

Indeed, this was the case. When Constant Star Lu Chen used Gravity Warping Space Acceleration, he easily broke free from the Quasar’s gravitational restraint and flew towards the Cosmic Center at an invisible high speed. Only the light emitted by Constant Star Lu Chen as it left the Wandering Star System was swiftly left behind by the twice-speed-of-light Wandering Star System, forming a slender and magnificent tail of light behind it.

"Damn it!"

When the gravitational lock was broken, the Quasar could do nothing but watch the light tail left by the Wandering Star System and roar in anger.

Unfortunately, the Quasar’s mass was so great at this moment, and its speed was not fast, that it simply could not catch up with the Wandering Star System moving at twice the speed of light, and could only give up the pursuit.

Additionally, another reason was the direction of their movements.

The Wandering Star System was heading towards the Cosmic Center, while the Quasar was heading towards the edge of the Universe, forcing the Quasar to be resigned.

"I will remember your life commonality. Do not cross paths with me again, or it will be the end of you!" When the Quasar decided to give up, it did not forget to send out a strong warning message, seemingly to proclaim its existence.

For Constant Star Lu Chen, he didn’t take the Quasar’s warning message to heart, after all, it was hard to say what the future held.

Besides, he had instructed the scientific team at the Wandering Base to record the features of the Quasar so they would be immediately aware if they encountered it again.

Furthermore, countless scientific teams had been observing the Quasar from the start, collecting other data about it. After all, the Quasar is one of the most dangerous celestial bodies in the Universe and is closely related to the most mysterious Black Holes. Such a close observation would help them study Black Holes and understand the Universe.

"Big brother, that Quasar is really arrogant, we must give it a good thrashing one day!" said Wandering after they had put some distance between themselves and the Quasar. Although Wandering had a planetary mass of 980, it was still insignificant in front of the Quasar.

Not to mention Wandering, even Constant Star Lu Chen, or the entire Wandering Star System, would be no match for the Quasar, whose mass was at least several million times their combined mass. This showed just how long and far their path of growth still was.

Green Star said, "This is the nature of the Universe; it has always been survival of the fittest. If we want to reach the Cosmic Center safely and smoothly, we must take every opportunity along the way to grow ourselves!"

Lu Chen said, "Green Star is right. Though I used to hope that after our Civilization Level improved, the world would become better and fairer, it was ultimately just my delusion. As long as different races and life forms exist in the Universe, there will inevitably be conflict, and the result of conflict is the survival of the strongest and the downfall of the weakest."

Lu Chen continued, "Even if every Advanced Civilization could understand each other, differences in standpoint and ideology would still force them into opposition, escalating the conflict between them. Moreover, under the law of entropy increase, the Universe will ultimately head towards destruction. With limited resources and time, even if civilizations do not wage war, they will always threaten each other. If they wish to survive longer, or even find the ultimate path to survival, eliminating other civilizations is the only way out."

"Alas, the laws of entropy increase and Entropy Reduction Law are truly the nightmares of the Universe, as well as the nightmares of every civilization within it!" Wandering lamented.

Green Star said, "It feels a bit like the ’raising gu’ you have told me about, as if a pair of mysterious hands are setting the rules, intensifying the struggle and slaughter of each civilization, with the last survivor being the sole victor!"

"Green Star, having lived so long, do you think such an entity could exist?" Wandering asked curiously.

Green Star replied, "I was just speaking impulsively; I don’t know the true nature of the Universe. If we want to find out, we’ll have to go to the Cosmic Center and unravel the origins of the Universe."

Lu Chen said, "The journey to the Cosmic Center is long, and we can’t rush it. For now, let’s strive to take every opportunity to grow ourselves as much as possible!"

With that said, Lu Chen immediately inquired with the scientific team inside the Wandering Base about the distribution of matter along their upcoming route.

According to the observations of the scientific team, they were nearly six hundred thousand light-years away from the Cosmic Star Region. Along this long route, other than a beautiful Ring Nebula located a hundred thousand light-years away, most of the material distributed near their planned route consisted of scattered matter or wandering celestial bodies.

As for their former home, the Galaxy Nebula (now the Xianhe Nebula), it was already far behind them, growing more distant by the day. Only at night could the light from the Xianhe Nebula be seen in the southern hemisphere, shining like a grand cluster of bright stars.

Whenever they missed their homeland, they would cast a glance at the shadow of their home.

It was just like a wanderer compelled to venture out, his heart forever tied to his homeland.
