Chapter 321 A Space Fleet Arriving from a Distant Galaxy (4K)

The Tomorrow Alliance then sailed into the heart of Star City.

The Tomorrow's land, sea, and air combat forces, along with mobile suits, remained on high alert throughout the entire operation.

Although communication with the spirits is generally friendly, necessary precautions should still be taken.

Countless spirits peered out of their buildings along the way, curiously watching the procession that had come from afar.

Neox invited Li Ye and the others to enter the Star City Palace, but Li Ye politely declined.

He would naturally not rashly step into an unknown place when he was on someone else's civilized territory.

“If you don’t mind, why don’t you let your King come aboard the Tomorrow?” he said.

After a moment's thought, Neox agreed.

Half an hour later, King Veroma, the ruler of Star City, officially appeared and stepped onto the deck of the Tomorrow.

This ethereal being was also wrapped in strips of cloth, and was far more classical and dignified than Neox and the others.

Li Ye was initially puzzled as to how the Void Spirit Civilization could produce strips of cloth, but upon closer inspection, he understood.

Like the pickaxe, the cloth strips are also formed by the spirits manipulating their own energy.

"Greetings, human civilization that has traveled from afar." King Viloma spoke slowly, his words carrying a heavy sense of authority and solemnity, each syllable containing supreme power, as if it had been distilled from the long river of time.

The two sides then began their exchange.

Looking at the Void King before him, and then at the countless Void beings in Star City, a member of the research team couldn't help but feel a sense of longing.

Unlike humans, the life of spirits is eternal; they have lived for a very, very long time.

"If I may be so bold as to ask, King Veroma," he couldn't help but interject, "how long has the history of the ethereal civilization been?"

Curiosity also appeared in the eyes of Rino and Veronica, who were talking.

In fact, they are quite interested in this as well.

King Viloma's answer stunned everyone.

"The history of the Void Spirit Civilization is only thirty or forty years," he said calmly. "I am currently only 23 years old, while Neox, who brought you here, is 8 years old."

"How is this possible?" the member who had asked the question earlier exclaimed in astonishment. "Don't you ethereal beings possess eternal lifespans? Why is your civilization's history so short?"

“The ethereal beings do indeed possess eternal life,” King Vilomar said in a deep voice. “But they too will perish.”

The Void civilization was born on the planet Aetheria, and was also destroyed by this very planet.

This destruction did not stem from war or internal strife, but rather from the irreconcilable extreme environment of the gas giant itself, which gradually eroded the foundations upon which civilization depended for survival.

In our solar system, there is a star that is close to Etheria.

Whenever it enters an active period, super flares that last for a century are generated on its surface, continuously bombarding the planet Aetheria.

At that time, the thick plasma corona layer will be destroyed and torn apart, and the magnetic field shield will be weakened by more than 90%.

Without the barrier of the plasma corona, the high-energy ion stream emitted by the superflare will travel unimpeded, completely penetrating the entire atmosphere of the planet from the inside out.

The extreme magnetic disturbance it brings will cause the energy structure of the spirits to completely collapse, ultimately leading to their death.

"If that's the case, why didn't the Voidling civilization cross the plasma corona to escape Aetheria before the stellar flare erupted?" a member of the research team couldn't help but ask.

King Viloma slowly shook his head.

As pure energy life forms, the ethereal beings can traverse the turbulent atmosphere of Aetheria, but they are unable to break through the outermost plasma corona layer.

After all, the magnetic field present in the plasma corona layer is too strong, which would directly cause their bodies to collapse.

The group exchanged glances, deeply moved.

This is a double whammy for the ethereal civilization.

The presence of the plasma corona prevents them from reaching space and escaping.

The only time the plasma corona will dissipate is during a stellar superflare.

"So, you are the latest generation of the ethereal civilization?" Veronica asked.

King Viloma nodded.

"Yes."

More than a thousand years ago, that star erupted with a super flare, destroying the then-existing ethereal civilization.

As the star returned to silence, the previously broken and dissipated plasma corona began to slowly recover, eventually giving birth to a new generation of ethereal civilization, namely the generation of King Veroma.

The new generation of ethereal civilization has only been developing for a century.

After listening to King Vilomar's description, Li Ye looked at the ethereal ruler, seemingly wanting to say something but holding back.

“You seem to have some questions; please feel free to speak them,” said King Viloma.

After a moment of contemplation, Li Ye slowly voiced his doubts.

Although he is only 23 years old, the demeanor and mannerisms of King Viloma during the conversation made him seem like a wise old man who had emerged from the long river of history.

Not only him, but everyone else felt the same way.

King Viloma smiled slightly and offered an explanation.

"Although I am only 23 years old, I have inherited the wisdom and memories left behind by countless generations of the ethereal civilization."

When a star erupts with a superflare, every generation of ethereal civilizations makes the same choice: to store their memories, knowledge, and wisdom.

The first method is to compress it into a solid helium crystal, which the newly formed ethereal beings can understand and inherit through superfluid energy permeation.

The second method cleverly utilizes the solid methane within floating icebergs. The Voidwalkers use energy to precisely bombard the solid methane, carving radioactive carbon patterns containing information into it. Newly formed Voidwalkers can then locate these patterns through their radioactive radiation and obtain everything by reading the carbon patterns.

The third method utilizes the unique properties of iridescent clouds to convert information into light and weave a regular aurora pulsation spectrum.

The basic language is constructed using arrangements and combinations of different colors, and details are recorded with a flashing frequency accurate to the attosecond level. The aurora color changes, brightness fluctuations, and spatial distribution in each spectrum have a series of corresponding information.

This is a precious gift that each generation of dying ethereal civilizations leaves to the next generation of new ethereal civilizations.

The first thing the newly born spirits did was to scavenge the valuable knowledge, memories, and wisdom left behind by their predecessors.

Unlike humans, the thoughts and memories of spirits do not age and decay over time; once recorded, they remain vivid in one's memory.

King Viloma gently patted his head.

"Now, my mind has inherited the gifts and legacy of countless generations of ethereal beings. The memories, knowledge, and wisdom of each ethereal being are all crystal clear, and it would take hundreds of thousands of years to recount them all."

Everyone nodded repeatedly, their eyes showing unprecedented astonishment.

"I never expected that the generations of Void Spirits would have such a method. In a sense, isn't this the inheritance of Void Spirit civilization?" Veronica murmured to herself.

To everyone's surprise, King Viloma had another request.

The current ethereal civilization is not a unified whole; it comprises more than a dozen ethereal kings of varying sizes.

These ethereal kingdoms wage war against each other, with constant conflict.

Just then, the Alliance arrived from afar, so King Veroma asked them for their help.

"This... please allow me to think it over carefully," Li Ye replied hesitantly.

Although his communication with the Voidlings was very smooth and harmonious, and he also obtained a lot of key information about the planet Aetheria from them.

However, Li Ye dared not rashly intervene in the conflict of an alien civilization.

Especially in the form of war.

King Viloma appeared very patient, allowing Li Ye to think carefully before giving his reply.

Just as he was pondering this, something unexpected disrupted his rhythm.

The new intelligence report mentioned that the space fleet from a distant star system had actually arrived in outer space near the planet Aetheria.

This was observed by the spirits.

Although they cannot cross the plasma corona, the Voidlings have a unique way of observing the universe.

That is to transform the aurora borealis of iridescent clouds into a natural interstellar telescope.

First, the spirits use energy to create a precise electromagnetic field that distorts the aurora into a concave mirror shape, allowing focused starlight to pass through weak points in the corona and create a quantum tunneling effect, thus forming a clearly visible projection of the starry sky in front of them.

Through an "interstellar telescope" created by a phantom, Li Ye could now clearly see the scenery of outer space.

Beneath the boundless curtain of deep space, this interstellar fleet floats in solemn formation amidst eternal darkness.

The flagship stands majestically at the center of the array, its streamlined, silver-white hull stretching for over a hundred kilometers. The quantum communication array towering on its back resembles a dazzling crown, constantly radiating ethereal blue energy ripples into the surrounding space.

Twelve battleships spread out in a fan shape, their sharply defined black armor densely covered with particle cannon arrays. Though silent at this moment, those deep muzzles seemed to harbor destructive power capable of tearing apart asteroids. Further away, more than thirty destroyers formed a swarm-like protective network, the pale purple trails of their ion engines tracing intricate light paths in the vacuum.

Countless supply ships and engineering vessels also shuttled around the main fleet.

As he watched, a bead of sweat slid down his cheek.

Whether it was fortunate or unfortunate, this interstellar fleet happened to be heading towards the atmospheric planet that the Alliance of Tomorrow was exploring.

Judging from the size of the fleet and the numerous unidentifiable weapons it deployed, its combat power was clearly extraordinary.

The worst part is that Li Ye has absolutely no way of knowing whether it's well-intentioned or malicious.

Not only Li Ye, Zhou Xingfang, Yong Yangzheng, and Veronica, but also others looked solemn.

Compared to the Alliance of Tomorrow, the Voidlings of Star City, led by King Veroma, seemed much more relaxed. They were having fun and enjoying themselves.

"Your Majesty, I must remind you. A space fleet of this caliber may very well possess high-tech weapons capable of destroying energy life forms like you," Li Ye couldn't help but warn.

King Viloma, on the other hand, appeared much more indifferent.

“I have countless memories of the deaths of past spirits in my mind, and whenever I touch them, I feel their pain and fear as if I were there myself,” he replied. “But now, I have become accustomed to death.”

However, to Li Ye's surprise, a voice suddenly rang in his mind.

"Hello, human civilization in the solar system."

After a brief moment of shock, Li Ye gradually came to his senses.

The voice likely originated from the creatures of that space fleet; they had established a direct mental link through some high-tech means to facilitate communication and exchange.

After a quick thought, Li Ye asked two questions.

"What kind of civilization are you? And why have you come to the solar system?"

The voice gave an answer.

"We are an investor civilization from the distant Tyran system. Our main purpose in arriving in the solar system via space jump is to conduct interstellar trade."

"Do interstellar trade?" Li Ye asked in surprise.

"Yes. We are a civilization that specializes in traveling between galaxies and trading with civilizations within them," the other party replied. "Please don't worry, we have no malicious intent. Furthermore, our transactions always adhere to the principles of fairness and impartiality, and we have never engaged in forced buying or selling."

Li Ye naturally did not believe him.

He now gripped the recall device tightly, ready to activate it and immediately retreat back to his home island should he sense anything amiss.

However, given the level of technology they've demonstrated, they'll probably catch up to Weilan Star in no time.

If the Tomorrow Alliance wants to conceal their whereabouts, they will probably have to hide in the Elemental Dimension.

The other party continued to speak politely.

"We have just arrived in the solar system. If it would be convenient for you to come aboard our ship so that we can communicate and learn more about this star system?"

“Absolutely not.” Li Ye refused decisively.

The other party did not give up, but instead changed their approach.

"In that case, may I visit your vehicle for a chat? Don't worry, I won't be carrying any weapons."

After a moment of contemplation, Li Ye agreed.

He was also very curious about what kind of vehicle the other party would use to traverse this dangerous plasma corona to get here.

The next second, a figure appeared directly on the deck in front of him.

From its appearance, this "investor" looks quite like a baby elephant without a nose, except that its nose has been replaced by several detachable whiskers.

Its skin is made of translucent stardust, with a faint dark gold hue throughout, and fine cosmic dust patterns flowing across its surface, giving it a soft glow.

"So it was through teleportation?" Li Ye thought to himself.

This precise point-to-point teleportation technology has surpassed Level 5 mobile city technology.

Upon arriving at the deck of the Tomorrow, the investor manipulated a tentacle near his nose, magically opening up the space around him, and took out a soft cushion, which he then sat comfortably on.

Then, he looked around at the Tomorrow in front of him, a look of surprise appearing in his eyes.

"Wow, this vehicle that combines combat, migration, and survival is truly amazing. May I ask what it's called, sir?"

Li Ye replied calmly.

"Mobile City"
