3763: C3763 At This Moment

C3763 At This Moment

In the blink of an eye, two hundred years passed.

The last outpost of Universe of Eight Kings was completed.

Because of the distance between these outposts and the fact that many of the facilities were not complete, it was difficult to communicate between the outposts. Basically, each of these outposts was an individual entity and did not interact with other outposts.

There was only a single caravan authorized by Defense Department, going back and forth between the outposts, but a caravan was unable to provide such a large number of outposts, thus, due to lack of resources, some outposts were stopped in their tracks and even became abandoned, and the construction and maintenance of these outposts also consumed a large amount of money, which was easily wasted. Defense Department could not accept this, and began to authorize some commoner caravans to allow them to pass through.

And the farther away one was from the post, the more merchant groups would be authorized, and the less qualified one would be to receive the authorization.

Amongst them, there was an inconspicuous outpost.

This outpost only contained a few thousand living creatures, all of which had migrated here when the outpost was built. Amongst these living creatures, there were only a very small number of Divine Kings and most of them were still in the Divine Essence Stage Realm.

This outpost was built on an unstable planet, so the thousands of creatures that came here were still at the stage of pioneering and stabilizing the laws of the stars. Merchants came here three times a year, and normally, a few travelling merchants would occasionally arrive and deliver some supplies.

Not long ago, a damaged ship had arrived at the outpost. This ship had gone through an unknown amount of time, but most of it had already been corroded by the people who had patrolled around the outpost. After searching the ship, they didn't find any living creatures or corpses, so they split the ship up and used it as a raw material.

This was not a big deal. In the void near the vast universe, there would often be some wreckage, especially when the Universe of Eight Kings established a few thousand outposts. In this void, there would also be some abandoned materials from outposts or wrecked merchant ships.

The captain of the sentry post had only made a very simple record of the location and kept some of the remains of the boat in the warehouse. If anyone came to investigate this matter, they would be able to find out the source of the ship.

In the records, the officer wrote that the ship was made of metal crystals, and that it looked quite good. Through the decomposition of the ship, it obtained twelve tons of usable crystals, as well as two tons of various metals, and several hundred pounds of other materials, but there was only one material which could not be confirmed as being of any attribute or value. It was also a material which the officer had never seen before, which was very normal, sir wrote, this material also looked like a kind of crystal, it was pure black, there were more than five hundred pieces, the largest was smaller than a goose egg, its shape was irregular and its weight was very light, and inside the crystal contained a substance similar to solidified liquid, but it was not certain what it was.

This crystal was useless, so it was discarded. Amongst the small pieces of debris that the officer collected, there was also one.

After recording this, the officer went back to other things.

Twenty days later.

Inside the warehouse, the black crystal slowly melted into liquid.

"..."

The borders of the World of Meaning, the Universe of Infinity, after two hundred years of domination by the First Empire, had officially replaced the Main Pavilion of Infinity, becoming the new hegemon of the universe.

In the past two centuries, the First Empire had built a massive capital.

Various large and small forces had merged into the First Empire, and many had submitted to it.

For example, some powers had an alliance with the First Empire. Some powers were subordinate to their subjects, and the First Empire had the right to speak on all matters under their administration. Some forces were basically independent, but they still paid tribute to the First Empire.

The First Empire currently occupied more than twenty percent of the Universe of Infinity, and their expansion speed was extremely fast. They expanded unhindered, constantly stirring up the current situation, planned to trigger small-scale wars, and then, they would intervene in the war to increase their own influence, earn benefits, or use force and diplomacy to annex the territories of other forces.

Because the collapse of the Main Pavilion of Infinity had resulted in a large amount of vacuum in the Universe of Infinity, vacuum in power, vacuum in territory, vacuum in trade, vacuum in prestige, vacuum in influence, vacuum in order, and so on. Because these matters were previously handled by the Universe of Infinity, after the fall of the Universe of Infinity, many powers had their own thoughts.

After defeating the Universe of Infinity, the shack first filled the void of prestige. Everyone needed to see what the shack was up to, and following that, the shack once again began to establish the first empire, stirring up the current situation and gaining more and more influence.

In addition to all of these, two hundred years ago, the First Empire laid down thousands of great roads to the north, south, east and west, and hundreds of thousands of relay stations, cleared hundreds of millions of miles of wasteland into fertile farmland, built over twenty thousand flying ark for transportation and trade, fostered a kind of Seven Horn Dragonhorse to become the most popular mount in the world, set up a dozen cities and towns, and issued an extremely sound code of law. In these two hundred years, many of the wars initiated by the First Empire were all based on codes.

In these two hundred years, the First Empire has already established its own rule.

But for Sky Challenging Giant and Gu Xin'ao, this was not enough.

What they wanted to do was to unify the entire Universe of Infinity.

Conference of Worlds had already contacted them, and within a thousand years, they would be sending out another team. However, this team wouldn't have too many people, and would probably only have around a dozen or so people, and would also be made up of young elites of Celestial King Universe and Calculative Universe. The other team would be carrying several thousand Memory Fragment, which were used for communication, and would need to attempt to establish a method to transmit information directly from World of Meaning to Celestial King Universe.

The Celestial King Universe, one had to use all their strength to absorb knowledge and understand World of Meaning.

And after that, even more teams would arrive at Universe of Infinity.1

In order to completely transform Universe of Infinity into a suitable outpost, Sky Challenging Giant and Gu Xin'ao decided to unify the entire Universe of Infinity within a thousand years.

But at the same time, they had to prepare their defenses.

Even though World of Meaning were so busy that they did not have to worry about Universe of Infinity, and even before, World of Meaning rarely cared about Universe of Infinity, they still could not be careless.

Therefore, the First Empire must do their best to conceal itself as a power that would rise to power locally, and the members of the First Expedition must also have a complete identity, and blend into the life of the Universe of Infinity.
