Chapter 34: We Will Welcome the Arrival of Human Civilization

A thousand years.

Ella, of course, did not remain stagnant.

From the beginning, she had been on Proxima Centauri c, witnessing the changes in civilization.

Meanwhile, she was researching and learning. Ella had already mastered the Proxima Centauri civilization's dark matter technology and further deduced the theoretical model of high-energy dark matter.

Based on this model, they discovered high-energy dark matter, which is denser and has a diameter only one-seven-hundred-millionth that of an electron.

This high-energy dark matter is much harder to capture than antimatter and can almost only be found under conditions of extreme gravity.

Ella discovered this high-energy dark matter in the supermicroscopic black holes she created at the molecular level.

Since the Proxima Centauri civilization had already researched low-energy dark matter for thousands of years, they quickly understood and utilized high-energy dark matter after obtaining the technology.

However, Ella was in no rush to switch to antimatter energy, as the gap between the two was not significant enough to warrant a technological leap.

Ella already had a complete antimatter production chain, and her antimatter collection far surpassed the Proxima Centauri civilization's high-energy dark matter collection speed.

Over a thousand years, Ella improved the utilization rate of matter-antimatter annihilation energy from the original 11.47% to 34.85%.

They had already reached the energy level of a 1.7-level civilization.

And with the integration of technology from the Proxima Centauri civilization and the Hundred-Eyed Star's light civilization, their technological level had actually reached 1.9.

In contrast, the Proxima Centauri civilization's energy level had reached 1.9, but their technological level remained at 1.8, so their overall level was 1.9, still far from a 2-level civilization.

In the 924th year of the thousand-year period, Ella released another prophecy.

"Our civilization has long had the civilization's pass, and we have become a part of that civilization."

"In the near future, the messenger of civilization will arrive. He comes from the main civilization of the civilization federation—human civilization."

"He will preach the harmonious and benevolent ideas of the tower civilization—no enslavement, no interference, no oppression. In the civilization federation, every civilization, regardless of its level, has equal rights."

"All civilizations in the civilization federation can engage in free trade and technological exchange, working together for common development and progress."

This prophecy did not evoke as strong a reaction as the one a thousand years ago.

Some creatures even looked forward to the arrival of the civilization behind the tower.

Although the right-wing currently controlled the civilization, the line between the left and right wings was never clear-cut, and their political differences were primarily driven by self-interest.

The left-wing wasn't always conservative, and the right-wing wasn't always radical.

If the left and right wings were two extremes, there would be no concept of extreme left and extreme right.

Any large organization is multifaceted, not a binary entity.

Accept.

Accommodate!

This was the attitude of the entire Proxima Centauri civilization at this time.

Of course, the moment this prophecy was released, many creatures realized something—the so-called pass was the knowledge and technology within the tower.

This knowledge and technology was imbued with the culture of a civilization.

They had unknowingly become a part of this civilization federation.

These creatures, who realized this belatedly, felt a sense of creeping horror but didn't react strongly because the other civilization had used such means, indicating a high probability that it genuinely wanted to integrate with their civilization, not destroy it.

Of course, there were still creatures who advocated for killing the messenger of civilization, but they were the extreme right-wing.

These extreme right-wingers couldn't stir up much trouble within the civilization.

"Annie, are we really going to welcome a foreign civilization?"

The Proxima Centauri civilization had even adopted the human civilization's naming system for individual creatures.

They originally had no names, only simple identification through scents and numbers on the information network.

"Flaming, it's no longer a foreign civilization; our civilization is already filled with their traces."

"Our civilization and theirs have already merged seamlessly."

"The civilization from the tower has come to assimilate us."

"We should have realized this from the start. Two completely different civilizations cannot coexist. Even if we form a non-interfering federation, it's just a wishful thinking."

"Only by sharing the same culture, language, and writing system can things seem logical."

"You and I are both decision-makers of the civilization, and we should understand that we have no other choice but to welcome them now."

"Even if we destroy the other civilization, in the course of development, we will inevitably integrate with their civilization. Whether they assimilate us or we assimilate them, the result will be the same—we will become one."

Flaming still struggled, even though he had already made up his mind internally. He asked a question anyway.

"What about reproductive isolation?"

"Our species are different, which will prevent our integration."

Annie exhaled through her nose.

"Civilization's development has long transcended low-level desires. Individual creatures now value spiritual pursuits."

"The need for procreation is no longer there. If you want an offspring, you can simply cultivate a child with your own cells."

"The carrier of civilization is culture. We learned this later than that civilization."

Flaming's eyes drooped. He wasn't extreme right-wing; he was just more traditional, believing his race should be supreme and independent.

"Our civilization has reached this stage."

"Perhaps it's time to connect with other civilizations in the universe."

"Flaming, haven't you always emphasized the importance of civilization's diversity? Only through diversity can civilization develop to higher levels."

"By connecting with extraterrestrial civilizations, we will become more diverse."

"In this regard, at least there's a positive outcome."

Flaming nodded.

"But we can't let our guard down. We must not become slaves to other civilizations."

Upon hearing this, Annie became happy. She came from a right-wing family but had grown to lean more towards the left-wing as she matured.

Of course, there was no longer a left or right-wing.

"Then let's release the information together."

The prophecy came from the same account as the one a thousand years ago, and they understood that the other civilization had spread this information.

So, this prophecy was not really a prophecy.

The language used by the civilization's leadership was still somewhat euphemistic.

"In the future, we will officially connect with the civilization behind the tower and become part of the civilization federation."

"We will welcome the arrival of human civilization!"

The second game was still won by Yan Xia, waiting only for his awakening.
