Hearing S2K mention the Maxim civilization again, at this moment Li Chen felt for the first time that this civilization must be taken seriously.

Inevitably, his mood became heavy by three points.

Because the Massim civilization already knew this secret.

They are also working hard to collect the 'key' of District 9!

It's just that their opponent is an iron-blooded civilization as powerful as them, so they haven't succeeded for many years.

Once let them successfully obtain the "key".

It is very likely that the Massim civilization is the first fifth-level civilization born in the Milky Way!

This is not just a huge disaster for S2K.

For other civilizations, it must be an inescapable nightmare!

At this point, Li Chen and Noah finally fully understood what these so-called "secret books" are.

I finally know why S2K tries to find them.

At the same time, he clearly realized the seriousness of the problem.

According to the explanation of S2K just now.

He said that the one trillion top scientists of the Massim civilization, after a long period of analysis, judgment and calculation.

with a horrible result.

That is, once any civilization advances to become a fifth-level civilization.

Then the energy of the entire galaxy will be automatically plundered by them.

At that time, all the fourth-level civilizations will be directly destroyed, or "reset" by the newly born fifth-level civilization!

Because they need unimaginable energy to start the dimension exploration.

Or further develop your own civilization level.

Therefore, this process does not depend on the will of any civilization.

In addition to becoming a fifth-level civilization that is equivalent to them, no fourth-level civilization can prevent this kind of thing from happening...

"According to what you said, each star region actually has a key that opens the door to the fifth-level civilization."

"And there are multiple star regions in each spiral arm of the Milky Way, which means that other fourth-level civilizations may also grow into fifth-level civilizations..."

"It seems that our time is very tight. We must prevent all this from happening before other civilizations grow to the fifth level civilization, otherwise we will be the ones who are unlucky!"

Li Chen's expression became much more solemn than before at this moment.

Originally thought that the unification of the tenth district was an awesome achievement.

Now it seems that it is nothing more than that.

Even a civilization that becomes the pinnacle of the fourth level will still be mortally threatened.

And once that threat comes, you don't even have time to resist or even react...

[Host, I am more worried about other fourth-level civilizations becoming fifth-level civilizations, I am more worried about...]

At this moment, Noah's voice sounded.

His expression became a little frightened, as if he had seen a ghost.

"Are you wondering who left these 'secret codes', which are the 'key fragments' that open the door to the fifth-level civilization, right?"

Li Chen asked back.

In fact, he thought of this question himself.

At this time, my heart was full of doubts and deep fear.

[Yes, host. 】

[Since those who left these 'key fragments' can do this, does it mean that all of this is designed? 】

[I think my computing power is not enough, the host... my head hurts! 】

【I think the data is about to collapse...】

Noah showed a painful expression while talking.

Li Chen frowned slightly.

At this time, S2K made a move, and he patted Noah's projection on the shoulder lightly.

"Don't think too deeply about it."

"You can't find a specific answer, we can only make limited guesses."

"Whether all of this is designed, or there is some kind of existence that we can't see, feel, or perceive..."

"In short, they left this 'key fragment' and designed this rule, which means that every civilization is given an equal opportunity."

"Whoever can step into the fifth-level civilization, who can touch a higher-level existence, and become a higher-level existence, all of these are random, which is the so-called 'luck'."

"When you understand all this, you will know that our computing power is actually nothing more than that. 'Fate' has always existed, and it has been doomed from the nanosecond when everything was born..."

What S2K said made Noah feel a lot better instantly.

He showed an expression of fear and gratitude, and took a deep look at S2K.

[It's really scary to think carefully...]

Noah shook his head in amazement.

Li Chen also tried to analyze it in depth just now.

He only felt that his head was buzzing, but it wasn't because of the so-called "insufficient computing power", but he felt strongly that there seemed to be some kind of cosmic law-like power restraining them.

That kind of law-like power prevents them from thinking more deeply.

It's as if there is some kind of "thinking barrier" that you can hardly detect yourself.

This terrible barrier of thinking restricts the thinking of every living body.

It makes them unable to "see" the larger world beyond the barrier...

"In short, we don't have to worry about these things now, we will be at ease when it comes."

"Fate arranged for us to understand these truths, and now it is our turn to accept the gift of fate and assume corresponding responsibilities!"

"There are a total of six star fields in the tenth district, which means that there are six 'key fragments'. We have already obtained the "Puliter's Secret Code" and "Earth Secret Code", and there are still four other civilization's secret codes!"

"Do you two have any clues?"

Li Chen put aside all distracting thoughts in his mind.

Looking at Noah and S2K respectively, they asked.

Noah shook his head, while S2K nodded.

"Master, don't worry."

"My hundred-year plan is not a waste of time!"

"During this long period of time, I have already figured out the location of the secret books of each star field, and included them in the collection plan."

"The good news is that the secret codes of Gaia civilization, Prome civilization, Valoran civilization and Noah civilization are all kept in the palaces of their respective civilizations."

"And received the strictest protection."

"It is basically impossible for ordinary people to approach and seize them."

S2K's answer made Li Chen laugh playfully.

"Do you think I, your master, is an ordinary person?"

"Master, you are certainly not an ordinary person."

"Let's go, S2K!"

"Follow us back to the star refuge! From now on, I guarantee that no one will dare to trouble you!"

"It doesn't matter what the iron-blooded civilization is, or the Maxim civilization!"

"Let's beat them together! Towards the fifth-level civilization!"

Li Chen is in a very happy mood now.

I feel grateful for my insistence on recruiting S2K on a whim.

He warmly put his arms around each other's shoulders, and strode with Noah towards the spaceship docked not far away.
