Chapter 339 Reasons for Imprisonment (4K)
To everyone's surprise, despite the 500G gravity in the cell, Cyk showed no signs of being overwhelmed and remained completely calm and unaffected.

Perhaps sensing their mood, Sai Ke spoke calmly.

"Gravity cells are nothing to me."

“Cryogenic cells, vacuum cells, antimatter cells, super-density gaseous cells. I’ve experienced all of these cells during my tens of thousands of years of imprisonment.”

"The only thing that made me feel a little uncomfortable was the gravity cell."

Upon hearing this, everyone's eyes showed surprise.

However, judging from the fact that the beast seemed completely unaffected in the gravity cell, what it said was probably true.

Li Ye immediately communicated with Sai Ke.

This was a rare opportunity, and he wanted to learn more about the universe from the other party.

While exchanging words, Sek's gaze fell upon the Tomorrow, where he was located.

"What kind of vehicle is this? It's really novel. It seems to be a product unique to your human civilization?" he asked.

“This is a mobile city,” Li Ye replied.

He then gave a brief introduction.

As he looked at the mobile city and the troop deployment, a hint of curiosity appeared in his eyes.

"It seems that your human civilization has not grasped the theory of unification?" he asked.

"Huh?" Li Ye was taken aback.

The so-called grand unified theory is a theoretical framework in theoretical physics that attempts to unify the four fundamental forces of nature.

These are gravity, electromagnetism, the strong nuclear force, and the weak nuclear force.

If humanity successfully constructs and verifies a unified theory, it will trigger a series of disruptive technological revolutions.

Examples include ultimate energy technology, spacetime manipulation, matter recombination, and the life science revolution.

After regaining his senses, a look of astonishment flashed in Li Ye's eyes.

Could it be that the strange beast before us knows and has mastered the theory of unification?
This is simply unbelievable; how could a strange beast possess such a powerful level of learning and knowledge?

Having roughly guessed his thoughts, Sai Ke couldn't help but chuckle.

"In the universe, many alien beast species have developed into civilizations. Countless precious knowledge and technologies have been passed down from generation to generation within these alien beast civilizations, and my civilization is no exception," he said casually. "To be honest, I possess complete theoretical and technological knowledge of a unified world."

Li Ye seemed somewhat skeptical.

To this end, he specifically sent Novie to communicate with Syke and discuss the techniques and knowledge related to the theory of unification.

A few minutes later, Novie got the results.

"The theories, formulas, and concepts proposed by this beast are all beyond my current technical level, Master," she replied.

After all, Novi is currently only a level 4 city AI, and its technology is limited.

"So, it's possible that he really has mastered the technology of the Great Unification Theory?" Li Ye asked hesitantly.

"Based on my estimation, there is a 93% chance that the beast's account is true."

Li Ye couldn't help but take a deep breath.

If we could master a unified technology, humanity would be able to overcome countless technological hurdles.

And right now, all of this is readily available.

"Let's not beat around the bush. I think you have something to ask of us, don't you?" he said softly. "Tell me, what exactly do you want us to do?"

Sek smiled slightly.

“Let me out of the cell,” he replied. “The system of this stellar prison is completely in chaos. Although your city’s AI is technologically backward, it should be able to gain control of this cell from the control room on the first floor. As long as I regain my freedom, I can pass on all the technologies of the Unified Theory to you.”

Li Ye did not answer, but instead narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Judging from the size and level of this stellar prison, the prisoners held here must all be extremely guilty," he said slowly. "So, what crime did you commit to be imprisoned here, Mr. Beast?"

Upon hearing this, a hint of sadness appeared on Seke's face.

"Well, it's a long story," he sighed, and that's how he began to speak.

Cyke is a high-level alien beast that already possesses the ability to travel through space.

Tens of thousands of years ago, he happened to pass by a small star system and discovered a weak alien civilization.

The technological level of this alien civilization is similar to that of modern Earth.

The problem is that because the home planet of the alien civilization is located in the center of the galaxy, it is frequently visited and plundered by space pirates, alien civilizations, and strange beasts.

This civilization therefore lived a life of great struggle and suffering.

After learning about the situation, Sai Ke felt compassion.

The proverb says that it is better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish. He felt that instead of protecting this civilization, he should teach them science and technology.

So he began to teach the theory of unification.

For the next few hundred years, Cyke continued to travel through the universe as usual.

Until one day, a massive space fleet came knocking on his door, announcing that he had committed a serious crime.

It was only then that Sek learned that after acquiring the theory of unification, that alien civilization made rapid progress, instantly becoming the hegemon of its star system and launching external wars that affected multiple civilizations within the system.

The universe has always been governed by rules.

One of the most important rules is that it is forbidden to impart advanced scientific and technological knowledge and theories to lower-level civilizations.

As a result, Cyk was captured by the space fleet and imprisoned in this stellar prison in the solar system, where he remained for tens of thousands of years.

“Looking back now, I was really careless,” Sek sighed. “It was well-intentioned, but I never expected it to cause such a huge mistake.”

"So this is the crime?" Rino couldn't help but ponder.

It does have some credibility.

Solax had previously mentioned this point in his discussions with investor Wenming.

Unauthorized transmission of advanced scientific and technological knowledge and theories to lower-level civilizations is indeed a huge crime, even if your initial intentions were good.

Sek simply stated.

"Right now, I really want freedom."

"If you let me out, I will teach you the complete theory of the Great Unity."

"Don't worry, I am of no importance to this stellar prison."

Just as Li Ye was about to speak, Novi suddenly spoke up.

“Master, using the information code of this cell, I checked the imprisonment information of this beast in the prison database. Unfortunately, he lied.”

Upon hearing this, Sai Ke stopped speaking, while Li Ye's face showed a meaningful expression.

"Is that so? Then why don't you tell us his real crimes?"

From Novi, everyone learned the real reason why Sek was imprisoned.

He is an extremely cruel and cunning beast.

This strange beast usually travels between star systems, searching for planets where low-level civilizations exist.

To him, these low-level civilizations were like newly sprouted, hopeful buds on a planet.

What he likes to do most is to pluck out these new shoots.

This high-level beast has a variety of attack methods.

For example, creating high-frequency vibrations in continental plates could trigger a chain of mega-earthquakes. Or, completely destroying a planet's atmosphere would allow cosmic radiation to fall onto the surface without any obstruction.

For example, it could drill into the planet's core, siphon off its energy, and then return to the surface to heat the seawater, creating overpressure steam and triggering global torrential rains. This would gradually form a global high-pressure steamer, roasting any civilization on the planet. During this process, the entire ocean would also be completely evaporated into salt foam.

Another example is guiding a comet to collide with a planet.

Everyone was stunned when they heard this.

This is truly unimaginable behavior.

What unsettled them most was that Novi also reminded them that Cyk's size and strength were only in the lower-middle range among the alien beasts.

“According to the prison records, this beast destroyed a total of 179 low-level civilizations, which is why it was captured and imprisoned in this stellar prison,” she said. “And it was also sentenced to life imprisonment.”

Li Ye couldn't help but shake his head slightly.

Therefore, it seems that the universe is indeed a dark forest.

He turned to look at Sek in the prison and couldn't help but narrow his eyes slightly.

“This beast, I must say, you’ve really done a lot of evil,” he said.

When his true colors were exposed, Sek showed no shame whatsoever; instead, he chuckled dismissively.

"So what?"

"Chaos, disorder, cruelty, and the survival of the fittest are the true nature of this universe."

"Those supreme beings who seek to maintain cosmic order are utterly foolish."

"A supreme being?" Li Ye asked softly, "And what is that?"

Upon hearing this, a look of fear flashed across Sai Ke's face, and he shook his head repeatedly.

He quickly regained his composure.

"I did kill 179 low-level civilizations, but so what?" he said calmly. "As a civilization, you humans should be thinking about acquiring knowledge and technology from me that will allow your civilization to develop rapidly, instead of condemning and denouncing my crimes."

A hint of surprise appeared in Li Ye's eyes.

The saying goes, "Every man for himself," and this applies even in the universe.

There is some truth to the claim about this strange beast.

In the universe, what every civilization should care about most is its own strength and development.

Morality and order are secondary compared to this.

Sek chose to press his advantage.

“Other lower-level civilizations would naturally crave such an opportunity,” he said. “Your human civilization has developed technologies like mobile cities, so you naturally understand the value of the Grand Unification Theory. What are you still hesitating about?”

After a moment's thought, Li Ye gave his answer.

"Our alliance will release you tomorrow."

"Great, then."

“Wait, I haven’t finished yet,” he said calmly. “First, you must impart the complete theory of the Grand Unification to us. Only after we have confirmed it will we begin to rescue you. Moreover, the opening time of the prison will be set 5 years from now.”

After regaining his senses, Seke was immediately enraged.

"Damn bastard, are you kidding me?"

Li Ye gently shook his head.

He really wanted a unified theory.

But he also needs to ensure his own safety.

After all, the alien beast in front of us is far too dangerous. If we release it now, it could trigger a series of catastrophes in the solar system and even endanger the planet Weilan.

In 5 years, humanity will have fully mastered the theory of unification and be able to deal with this strange beast.

"boom!"

Sek slammed his fist into the transparent wall in front of him.

The beast's enormous eyes were now so wide they looked like they were about to pop out of their sockets.

"Only if you release me will I give you the theory of unification," he said, enunciating each word clearly. "Otherwise, there's no point in discussing anything further."

"Oh, if there's nothing to talk about, then there's nothing to talk about." Li Ye shrugged.

Sek was so angry that he laughed instead.

"Who do you humans think you are, daring to bargain with me?" he said. "I've seen countless lowly and weak races like you in the universe, practically as insignificant as ants."

Li Ye did not get angry, but interpreted it as the impotent rage of a prisoner.

Seeing his nonchalant attitude, Sek became even angrier.

The Tomorrow Alliance departs here and moves on.

Soon, in a cell, they found another prisoner.

Judging from its appearance, the prisoner resembles a slime creature that is thousands of meters tall.

It has no fixed form and is constantly changing its shape.

Upon closer inspection, its body appears to be composed of faintly visible fibers. These fibers endlessly wriggle, recombine, weave, and disassemble, forming countless bizarre geometric structures.

At the intersection of countless fibers, there was a bright spot.

When Li Ye's gaze fell on the spot of light, he immediately felt a terrifying sense of being sucked in, as if all the chaos, noise, and meaningless details in his vision were forcibly drawn away and swallowed up, leaving only absolute emptiness and purity.

After regaining his senses, he couldn't help but take a step back in fear.

This creature is so bizarre!

Upon closer inspection, he realized it was a gravity cell—the most intense of all the cells.

"Novie, get information about the prisoners in this cell and find out what this thing is."

A few minutes later, Novi came to a conclusion.

“Master, this is an entropy-reversing creature.”

"What did you say?"

Li Ye was stunned.

In the scientific community on Earth, many hypotheses have mentioned anti-entropy life forms.

These are life forms that emerge as the universe gradually reduces entropy during its long process of dying and sliding towards heat death.

Li Ye had searched for related content online out of curiosity back then, never expecting to see it with his own eyes today.

Li Ye looked at the gravity prison in front of him again.

This entropy-reversing creature was being pierced by twelve artificial gravity beams in the cell at the same time, like a deformed specimen nailed to the void.

Its surface constantly grows an ordered lattice structure, only to be shattered by some invisible force in the next second—this cycle makes every inch of its flesh and blood repeat the eternal torment of birth and decay.

“This is the entropy-increasing field device in the gravity cell,” Novi explained.

Li Ye took a deep breath.

He wasn't a scientist, and his scientific knowledge was limited. But he knew one thing for sure: the further away from this creature, the better.

"They even imprison anti-entropy creatures here. This stellar prison is really something else," he thought to himself.
