Chapter 200: Chapter 199: Star Realm Ball Guardian and Entropy Tree

The Star Realm Ball is a very special place.

Apart from being resource-rich, it also holds a very important strategic position.

That’s because the Star Realm Ball is a barrier zone between the Cosmic Sky Region and the Star Zone, not only greatly preventing civilizations of the Sky Region from entering the Star Zone but also avoiding the entropy systems of the Sky Region from affecting the entropy systems of the Star Zone.

After all, the energy matter in the Sky Region is scarce, and its overall heat temperature is lower than that of the Star Zone. If it weren’t for the existence and barrier of the Star Realm Ball, the heat energy of the Star Zone would have dissipated into the Sky Region long ago. This would exacerbate the entropy increase of the Star Zone entropy systems, thereby accelerating the extinction of the Star Zone and its internal civilizations.

It can be said that the Star Realm Ball is seen as the thermal belt of the Star Zone, just as a thermos would be fitted with insulating material or set with a vacuum layer to prevent heat from dissipating too quickly. The principle is the same, with only different situations being faced and different detailed strategies being adopted.

Therefore, in order to slow down the extinction rate of the Star Zone and to guard its resources, a few advanced alliances came together and decided to establish a Star Realm Ball Guardian.

One is to prevent people from arbitrarily mining and destroying the environment of the Star Realm Ball, and the other is to prevent civilizations from outside the Sky Region from entering the Star Zone, thereby affecting the environment and entropy systems of the Star Zone.

It can be imagined that if one becomes the Star Realm Ball Guardian, then the status, power, and benefits are definitely very significant.

And at the time when the Earth Core Civilization, Eternal Life Civilization, Square Clan Civilization, and Shell Clan Civilization were discussing the establishment of the Star Realm Ball Guardian, they fought fiercely, both openly and covertly, for this position, causing much bloodshed.

In the end, the Earth Core Civilization came out on top and secured the position of the Star Realm Ball Guardian.

This means that from now on, the entire Star Zone under the Earth Core Civilization’s position is within the control of the Earth Core Civilization.

Because the Star Realm Ball spans a vast area, as much as over 300 billion light-years, it’s not something that several level-three civilizations can control. Hence, these civilizations only guard their own portions, with other civilizations setting up similar guardians or protective alliances in other areas.

This is somewhat akin to the territorial waters or airspace of a country, only that the spatial range of the Star Zone is much larger, equivalent to a cosmic version of a territorial domain.

As for the benefits the Earth Core Civilization gained from becoming the Star Realm Ball Guardian, there is no need to delve into further, as it can be surmised.

However, it should be noted that the internal story behind the Earth Core Civilization’s annihilation of the Pirate Civilization’s Mother Star was because it coincided with the contest for the position of the Star Realm Ball Guardian. The Earth Core Civilization acted very aggressively to secure a greater advantage, cleaning up the Star Stealers (meaning battleships or civilizations that steal resources from the Star Zone or Star Realm Ball) within the Star Zone, and also carried out targeted extermination strikes outward, eradicating neighboring advanced civilizations around the Star Zone to eliminate any possible future concerns and to demonstrate a resolute commitment to guarding the Star Realm Ball.

It was with this ruthless and aggressive move,

That the Earth Core Civilization eventually secured the position of the Star Realm Ball Guardian.

The Pirate Civilization and many other unnamed civilizations became the sacrifices of the power struggles. Although at the time, a part of the Pirate Civilization scattered seeds that escaped to the Small Magellanic Cloud, that former encounter completely changed the Pirate Civilization’s thinking and style, which led to their subsequent defeat in the skirmishes with the Wandering Alliance and eventual annihilation.

As for the dozens of squads sent out by the Pirate Civilization, most of them encountered various mishaps in the Universe.

The squad that was dispatched to the Small Magellanic Cloud to scout information about the Earth Core Civilization was also discovered by the Earth Core Civilization, who was preparing to return, and was easily eliminated.

Nowadays, the entire Pirate Civilization is left with only one squad — the Seagull Squad.

At this moment, the pirates of the Seagull Squad had already realized that they were the last remaining flame of civilization. Hence, after deliberation, they decided to alter the original reconnaissance mission of the Seagull Squad and shifted their top priority to the continuation and restoration of Pirate Civilization. To avoid certain dangers, they actively flew towards desolate regions, preparing to find an inhabitable planet in these areas to procreate and redevelop the Pirate Civilization.

An interesting yet tragic scene occurred in this process.

That is, in order to quickly produce a larger population, the men and women of the Seagull Squad agreed to cross and reproduce with each other to give birth to offspring of different bloodlines as much as possible so that future generations could also breed with each other.

One could say that this strategy was the only option in a desperate situation. However, as citizens of a Level 3 civilization, the pirate individuals found this method ideologically difficult to accept. Yet, individual thought has no choice in the face of an overwhelming crisis, especially since the ultimate charter had always been at the core of Pirate Civilization’s education.

So after repeated discussions and hesitations, most of the people on the Seagull Squad were forced to give up their sense of self and become tools for breeding to continue the flame of civilization. As for the small minority of pirates who disagreed with this method, they were killed by the crime of dissent by the majority of pirates.

Alas, the cruelty of fate is often beyond imagination.

While the Seagull Squad was escaping to desolate lands in search of an inhabitable planet, they unexpectedly encountered a gigantic tree capable of flying through the Universe.

Perhaps more accurately, it should be called the Entropy Tree.

This Entropy Tree was a new life form that emerged from an accidental fusion when the Little Entropy Beast engulfed the Cannibal Tree. It was a hybrid of biomechanical life, merging the Cannibal Tree’s individual consciousness with the Entropy Beast Core system, resulting in a completely new entity unlike the Cannibal Tree or the Entropy Beast.

This entity came to be known as the Entropy Tree.

The Entropy Tree combined the devouring instincts of the Cannibal Tree and the Entropy Beast, becoming even more voracious, and with the support of the unifying force technology, it was an existence that spared neither gods nor Buddhas.

This time, when the Entropy Tree encountered the Seagull Squad of the Pirate Civilization, it launched a Tree Needle at superluminal speed towards the Seagull Squad. Due to the support of the unifying force core, not only was the Entropy Tree’s speed swift, but its structure had also changed, covered with a layer of neutron skin.

Therefore, when the Seagull Squad fired Energy Weapons in retaliation, they were deflected by the thick Tree Needle. The Tree Needle then accurately penetrated the Cosmic Battleship of the Seagull Squad, breaking down the ship and all life within into Basic particles. These were then absorbed through the Tree Needle into the Entropy Tree, becoming nourishment for its growth.

The last flame of Pirate Civilization was completely extinguished in this way.

Although Pirate Civilization had narrowly escaped several disasters, it ultimately could not avoid its fate.

Looking at the fate of Pirate Civilization, it is clear that destiny offers no remedy for mistakes or injustice. Life forms shrouded under fate must rely on themselves, or else they will end up extinct like Pirate Civilization.

...

Back to the main point.

When the Earth Core Civilization, serving as the Star Realm Ball Guardian, discovered that their Star Realm Ball had been altered, they were immensely enraged.

Especially when they found out that the main culprit was none other than the Wandering Alliance, which had once annihilated three Planet Battleships of Earth Core Civilization, their fury was doubled with utter indignation.

Thus, the Earth Core Civilization immediately dispatched the nearest Parasitic Civilization from the Earth Core Alliance to intercept, while the main Starship Group of Earth Core Civilization also rushed at full speed to the scene of the incident.

This time, with the brazen approach of the Wandering Alliance and their intrusion into the Star Zone, Earth Core Civilization was determined to ensure the Wandering Alliance’s extinction!
