The eight elders of the empire were once again gathered in that simple room.
"No. 3, what happened?"
"That's right, the regular meeting once in a hundred years just happened, so why not?"
As soon as everyone arrived, another old man asked.
There was a hint of dissatisfaction in his voice.
As the highest governing body of the Silver Light Empire, the eight of them are usually very busy. Except for the regular meeting once every hundred years, they generally do not gather together the rest of the time.
After all, it is an empire that spans hundreds of millions of light years, and in a thousand years there will be a battle for the four thrones of the universe. Who among them is not busy preparing?
"Everyone, activating the special summons clause is naturally very important, and this matter will even affect the success or failure of our battle for the throne a thousand years later."
No. 3 didn't care about other people's dissatisfaction and quickly spoke.
At this moment, the expressions of the other seven people suddenly became serious.
As long as it involves the battle for the throne, there is absolutely no small matter!
"No. 3, tell me in detail, what exactly is going on?"
"Okay, do you still remember that we had a third-class army sent to the edge of the universe, and several of its early-arriving reconnaissance teams were destroyed and suffered devastating blows?"
"Of course I remember, didn't we already have a conclusion on that matter before?"
The old man named No. 7 frowned slightly.
Is this the big thing you're talking about, or is it something that could affect the battle for the Internet?
Seeing that No. 7 was displeased, No. 2 did not explain anything, but with a thought, the scene in the entire room suddenly changed.
Becomes a star map of the known and detectable universe.
Subsequently, this star map began to enlarge and shift the center position toward the edge of the universe.
Soon, a certain galaxy group at the edge of the universe was magnified.
There is a very conspicuous red dot in it, and there are markings on the side of this red dot.
The words written above, translated into human language, would be...
The first level of special life form!
Suddenly, everyone's expressions changed.
"No. 2, are you sure you got it right?"
"OK, I have confirmed it many times, there is no problem!"
"The first-level special life form... No, we must act immediately, otherwise once discovered by several other empires, things will be in trouble!"
At this time, No. 7 could no longer sit still and said loudly.
"No. 7, don't worry. Other empires should not be able to discover it. After all, this area is in the rear of our empire. If other empires want to go there, they will have to cross our empire."
"Moreover, not to mention that it is 700 million light years away from us, even if it is 100 million light years away, it is impossible to detect it. And the reason why we can detect it is because we have sown seeds more than a thousand light years away from the target.
of seeds.”
Hearing this, No. 7 also nodded and became quiet.
That's right, even a ninth-level technological civilization cannot detect precise individuals hundreds of millions of light years apart.
Generally speaking, being able to complete accurate detection within one or two thousand light years is already the limit.
Therefore, there is no need to worry about several other ninth-order civilizations discovering it and coming to fight for it.
"Okay, I propose to recycle it immediately and then start cultivating it secretly!"
"Second, this is the first level of special life form. As long as enough resources are invested, it will be enough to evolve into a holy beast within a thousand years. At that time..."
"Yes, originally, there was no suspense about three of our four thrones. After all, those three ninth-level civilizations all possess holy beast-level super combat power. The other ninth-level civilizations can only fight each other to grab the last throne.
But if we have holy beast-level combat power, there is no need to snatch the last throne, we will definitely get it."
"Yes, the three super civilizations will become four super civilizations from now on."
...
No one objected to No. 7's proposal.
On the contrary, they were all extremely excited at the moment.
In this universe, there are a total of seventeen ninth-level civilizations, but among these seventeen ninth-level civilizations, three are special, and they are also called super civilizations by other civilizations.
The reason why this happens is because...
Although they are also ninth-level civilizations, these three civilizations are so powerful that each of them can easily destroy the ability of any ordinary ninth-level civilization forever.
Of course, this does not mean that there is a big gap between everyone in terms of technology. Even if there is, it will not be too big, let alone such a disparity in strength.
What really caused this result was what No. 7 said...
Holy beast level combat power.
What is holy beast level combat power?
Simply put, it is a super individual of the ninth-level biological civilization.
As I said before, at the same level, biological civilization will be much stronger than technological civilization.
However, the disadvantage of biological civilization is that the more powerful it is, the more difficult it is to reproduce.
Therefore, after most biological civilizations evolve to the seventh or eighth level, due to difficulty in reproduction, the number of populations will become smaller and smaller, until they eventually self-destruct.
This allowed technological civilization to control the entire universe.
Of course, there will be exceptions.
When a biological civilization reaches the eighth level, it is almost impossible to reproduce offspring.
At this time, there are only two results.
The first type, like most biological civilizations, all individuals slowly exhaust their lifespan and eventually become extinct.
In the second type, there is a certain individual that has completed another evolution before exhausting its lifespan, becoming a ninth-level biological civilization individual, thus gaining an almost endless life.
The ninth-level biological civilization is individually very strong, very strong.
Even a single individual can defeat several ordinary ninth-level civilizations.
It's like a natural disaster.
However, they also have weaknesses, and this weakness is...
The quantity is too small!!
There is only one of the three ninth-level biological civilizations that currently exist.
After all, it is too difficult to evolve from an eighth-level biological individual to a ninth-level creature, and the success rate is so low that it is almost impossible.
Over billions of years, a total of three individuals called holy beasts were born in the entire universe.
quantity...
That's their biggest weakness.
Yes, the holy beast is very strong, and can even defeat several ninth-level civilizations on its own.
However, if all ninth-level civilizations unite together and pay some price, they can still kill the holy beast.
And the wisdom of a holy beast that can evolve into a ninth-level individual is absolutely extremely intelligent.
In order to prevent this from happening, they have chosen to cooperate with technological civilization.
Become an existence similar to worship.
A certain ninth-level technological civilization will provide the resources it needs and support it.
In return, this ninth-level biological civilization individual will become the totem sacred beast of this ninth-level technological civilization.
This is how the three major super civilizations in the universe came to be today.
At the same time, there is a secret that only some civilizations, even in the ninth level civilization, know.
That is...
So far, these three holy beasts born in the universe are not ordinary biological civilization individuals, but a kind of existence called a special life form.
And this special...
It's still graded.
The current three holy beasts are the seventh-level special life form, the sixth-level special life form, and the fourth-level special life form.
Therefore, the civilization that knew this situation immediately came to a conclusion.
The evolution of ordinary biological civilization individuals to the eighth level has reached its limit, and it is simply impossible to continue to evolve to the ninth level.
Only some special life forms born by chance in a certain ethnic group have this possibility.
At the same time, the higher the level of the special life form, the greater the possibility.
And so far, the strongest special level that has ever appeared is the fourth-level special life form among the three holy beasts.
The most important thing is that according to this theory, if a first-level special life form appears, then as long as enough resources are invested, it will almost certainly evolve into a ninth-level biological civilization individual.
That's why the eighth elder is so excited at this moment.
after all...
That has never appeared in the universe, and has always existed only in theory...
The first level of special life form!
Once it completes the ninth level of evolution, it will definitely become the most powerful among the holy beasts!
