Wandering Meteor-Chapter 137 Celestial Body Society

Wandering Alliance’s observations revealed that the sudden appearance of the 500,000-kilometer planet was due to a biological civilization’s Cosmic Battleship colliding with the Space Protection Shield. And, as it so happened, unfortunately, those Cosmic Battleships belonged to the Light Synthesis Civilization.

At this moment, there were also members of the Light Synthesis Civilization on Earth, which, after thousands of years of integration within the Wandering Base, had already evolved into a hybrid mode between the Earth People and Light Synthesis People.

When the Light Synthesis People inside the Wandering Base discovered that the others were also part of their own civilization, they were extremely surprised.

Not because they were shocked to find creatures exactly like themselves in the Universe, as the origins and consequences of the Light Synthesis Civilization splitting in two were well documented, and well known by the Light Synthesis People on Earth.

In such times, they simply felt an immense array of emotions.

Fortunately, their forebears chose to form a life community with the Wandering Alliance.

If they had originally chosen to travel in a Cosmic Battleship, their fate would most likely have been the same as the other Light Synthesis People.

This isn’t to say that the other faction of Light Synthesis People was just unlucky; but tragically, for the Light Synthesis Civilization, there was always a high probability of such disasters occurring.

Even if they hadn’t hit the third-level civilization’s Space Protection Shield now, they would have eventually encountered other civilizations. Even if those other civilizations didn’t harbor any murderous intent, given the state of Light Synthesis Civilization’s Cosmic Battleships, the likelihood of safely finding an uninhabited habitable planet was incredibly slim.

Thus, the current situation was one of countless possibilities realized, both coincidental and inevitable.

Faced with this situation, the Wandering Alliance held a meeting to discuss whether to rescue the other faction of Light Synthesis People.

In the final voting stage, Lu Chen, the Wandering, and Earth Civilization all cast dissenting votes, which was expected. After all, waging war with a third-level civilization over people or matters unrelated to one’s own is undoubtedly very unwise, especially since the conflict in the giant nebula was escalating, making it an even less suitable time for war.

However, to Lu Chen’s surprise, Light Synthesis Civilization also voted against the rescue.

Initially, Lu Chen had thought that the Light Synthesis Civilization might show solidarity with their own kind and at least cast an affirmative vote.

Unexpectedly, the Light Synthesis Civilization was extraordinarily calm, clearly analyzing the pros and cons of such a decision under these circumstances.

There was another point that made the Wandering Alliance, led by Lu Chen, feel that the rescue was unfeasible.

That was because they were seven light-years away from that Planet Flying Device. The situation observed by Earth Civilization was years old, and by the time they made the arduous journey there, it’s possible that those Light Synthesis People would have been annihilated by that civilization.

Subsequent observations by the Wandering Alliance indeed confirmed this.

They observed the other civilization deploying warships that easily captured the Light Synthesis Civilization. They gathered all the Light Synthesis People, collecting data and conducting research on them.

When the genetic patterns of the Light Synthesis People were understood, that civilization cruelly used extractors to harvest their genetic chains—a method that was fatal to the Light Synthesis People. Therefore, none of the Light Synthesis People aboard the thirty warships survived; if they hadn’t died in the collision, they were killed by the Pirate Civilization.

In their final moments, these Light Synthesis People couldn’t help but think about the fate of those who had made different decisions from their faction.

They believed that those under the protection of the Constant Star would not be massacred by other civilizations like them.

To be honest, they did have some regrets now, but there were no cures for regret.

...

At this moment.

The vast Universe becomes increasingly turbulent.

The collision between the Galaxy Nebula and the Andromeda Nebula is becoming more abnormal; by now, the second spiral arm has been destroyed, followed by the third.

The probability of collision at the third spiral arm has increased to 0.9 percent, and the energy released is about twelve times that of the second spiral arm, approximately equivalent to the total energy released by 360,000 Supernova Explosions.

This multiplying star wind storm has also forced the nearby observing civilizations to retreat by ten light-years.

The Wandering Alliance has to retreat as well, for with the current size and mass of the Wandering Star System, it cannot yet compare to titans like the Galaxy Nebula and the Andromeda Nebula—it can only stay at heart.

However, within the Wandering Alliance, there are specialized scientific teams constantly observing and recording the detailed conditions of the giant nebula collision.

Constant Star Lu Chen occasionally communicates with this scientific team and therefore has learned some data.

According to the observations and statistics of the scientific team, just the collision at the outer three spiral arms of the two giant nebulae has already resulted in nearly ten million collisions.

Various combinations have occurred within these collisions, with the majority being between meteors and planets, the energy released is essentially equivalent to the total energy the Galaxy Nebula would release over a regular hundred years.

Although these millions of collisions may seem plentiful, in reality, they are but a drop in the ocean.

After all, there are over 400 billion stars within the Galaxy Nebula alone, and the Andromeda Nebula’s mass is twice that of the Galaxy Nebula, with a staggering number of stars up to one trillion. Moreover, keep in mind that this is only the number of stars, which also encompasses countless planets, asteroids, gas clusters, nebulas, and so on.

Aside from collision data, the scientific team also compiled statistics on the number of newly formed stars.

When Lu Chen learned of the number of newborn stars during this period, he couldn’t help but be shocked.

He hadn’t expected that over ten million stars would be born in this time frame, virtually leveling the rate of destruction with the rate of birth.

This has led both giant nebulae into a frenzy of star production.

This gave Lu Chen an illusion, as if these two giant nebulae were part of a Celestial Body Society, managing their death and birth rates well, maintaining a balance.

Of course, these data are only up to the present, and believe collisions will become more intense as time goes on.

Especially when the collision reaches the core areas where dense old stars fill the space, the probability of collision will spike significantly; as for the black holes at the centers of both giant nebulae, that is even more terrifying—nobody knows what phenomena will emerge during the process of their collision and integration.

This pursuit of knowledge is perhaps the main reason why many civilizations have come to observe, and it is not without precedent.

Thus, under the anticipatory gaze of numerous civilizations, the collision of the two giant nebulae continues methodically, without any surprises.

Once the third spiral arm is also gradually destroyed in the collision, the fourth arm begins its turn. When it’s time for the collision at the fourth spiral arm, the probability of celestial bodies colliding within it has risen to three percent, with the energy released roughly equal to the total energy of 700,000 Supernova Explosions, a truly terrifying scale!

However, after the fourth spiral arm has been destroyed in a major collision, it will not proceed to the fifth.

This is because giant nebulae are elliptical in shape, and spiral arms are not arranged in order but are distributed around like nebula tentacles. So after the destruction of the fourth spiral arm, the core areas of the Galaxy Nebula and the Andromeda Nebula will be exposed and begin their intersecting collisions.

This will gradually push this grand collision towards its climax!

As the time approaches this incredibly tense and critical moment, every civilization is observing the collision very closely, afraid of missing anything.
