Zhu Zhengwei was stunned, listening to the beginning.

This voice, a declaration issued by one of the highest civilizations in the universe, opening a huge cosmic freedom mic?

So arrogant?

Aren't they afraid of other civilizations besieging and attacking them?

Is the other party giving a speech on the grand stage of the universe, issuing some external declaration?

No!

It can't be such a coincidence, just in time for an epoch of speeches.

Zhu Zhengwei suddenly realized something.

It's not that they are speaking; it's probably a "recording replay" signal tower, with this civilization continuously broadcasting these words throughout the universe.

Zhu Zhengwei's expression became serious as he continued to listen.

[First of all, here is the conclusion of our civilization.]

[The universe is a tragic graveyard.]

[We are all its gravekeepers.]

[Even for our strongest Bo'er people, within the first 5 billion years of the universe's birth, we had already explored 99% of the cosmic rules, yet we could only linger in our Yinma Star System, awaiting our own death.]

[Therefore, as our dreams collapsed, internal turmoil began to appear within our civilization because rapid development triggered an imbalance. Hence, we established this declaration, continuously replaying it, transmitting it throughout the entire universe... By the time you hear this declaration, we might have been extinct for countless billions of years.]

Zhu Zhengwei paused.

Five billion years?

It's absurd.

The Earth is only 4.6 billion years old.

So this cosmic super civilization sending the telegram is older than the Earth?

Moreover, calculating the time ratio, the approximate age of the universe is 12 billion years, meaning this signal was sent 7 billion years ago...

Now, the fate of that civilization is unknown.

Their civilization reached the cosmic limit, leaving no hope, no progress; listening to them, it seems some kind of turmoil and change were occurring internally.

Zhu Zhengwei organized this terrifying information continuously, listening to the civilization will from 7 billion years ago, feeling a bizarre and strange sensation.

He continued to listen to the universe declaration.

[First of all, no matter the form of life in the universe, it must originate in a solar system, having enough energy and light for life to thrive and civilization to be nurtured.]

[And once a civilization is born, it will face dilemmas as the speed of light is 300,000 kilometers per second, a planetary civilization, 99.9% of the time, won't step out of its solar system, only to be born and destroyed within it.]

...

Zhu Zhengwei felt a slight sense of wonder.

Indeed, that's true.

He had once read a report suggesting that humanity might never leave the solar system within a lifetime.

Because even if human technology were to explode, instantly reaching the highest speed in the universe—speed of light, it would still take 2 light-years to leave the solar system.

How dreadful is that?

Traveling at the speed of light's limit, it still takes a full 2 years to get out of the solar system!

Not to mention even more remote distances?

The solar system is merely a starting point.

The speed of distance will be the greatest hindrance to civilization.

However, if a civilization reaches the level of having spatial technology, then distance probably isn't an obstacle, is it?

Just like in front of him, he easily left the solar system.

That was his thought process, and he continued to listen.

[Even with spatial tech development, the spatial speed limit is 2 light-years per second, and that only plunges us into a bigger stream, trapping any civilization life in the sluggish clay of space, unable to move forward, guarding the homeland.]

Space also has a speed limit?

Like the speed of light's limit?

Zhu Zhengwei was slightly surprised.

This was extremely important information.

Currently, his Magnetic Civilization technology has reached only 0.4 light-years per second.

And the further and faster the speed becomes, the more difficult it is to increase further...

A geometric growth factor.

The Magnetic Civilization estimated it took them 300 years to reach 0.4 light-year per second, and another 300 years would be needed to reach 0.42 light-year per second...

It can be seen that this civilization issuing the declaration reached a spatial speed limit, leading the Magnetic Civilization by numerous levels.

He continued to listen.

[We spent 3 billion years, 5386 generations, finally emerging out of our Bo'er Star System cluster, during which we could only encounter three low-level planetary civilizations.]

[We watched limitless more distant galaxy worlds and chose to stop at the stardust sea, knowing that continuing this futile exploration of endless ruins is pointless.]

[Listen, all descendants, the universe is cruel, the universe is tragic... All civilizations can only guard their own graves, their own civilization tomb, awaiting death.]

[This is reality.]

[This is the eulogy of our dream's death.]

Zhu Zhengwei listened to this massive information and fell into silence, understanding the other's meaning.

Space jump is fast.

But even having reached the speed limit of space, it's nothing but a flea on a massive desert from the universe's perspective, bouncing up and down.

How far can you, a flea, jump in an entire lifetime?

And you said, this civilization sending signals, trash, must not have reached the limit.

But is there a power greater than spatial?

Almost impossible.

You must know, this most powerful civilization explored cosmic technology for countless billions of years, claiming to have deciphered 99% of the cosmic rules, calling themselves the strongest civilization, indicating they have the confidence, believing they have reached the critical limit.

They are already the maxed-out civilization in the universe!

But maxed-out, it's just that!

How tragic the world is.

The truth of the universe is so cruel and yet extremely reasonable.

It is but a graveyard, with no celestial universe, where various civilizations wage wars and travel...

Those are merely laughable dreams!

They only occur in science fiction novels, fairytale stories happening in dreams.

Because even mastering supertechnology of space traversal, it remains tough to reach afar.

Zhu Zhengwei sighed.

It seems, no matter how strong a cosmic civilization is, it's nothing but a speck of dust before the universe!

"Indeed, expecting aliens and cosmic civilizations is still unrealistic... This real universe is too lonely, too hollow, full of solitude, while my All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds' Four-dimensional Cosmos is rich and colorful."

"I can easily narrow the scale between civilizations, letting My World flourish with civilization exchanges."

And the only thing Zhu Zhengwei found surprising was that this civilization mentioned spatial speed technology, consciousness wavelength technology but did not mention the 'world of dreams'... Could it be that they also do not know about this aspect?

Do they not understand that the dreams of creatures can converge into a high-dimensional spiritual world?

Or is it that he is a special individual?

Zhu Zhengwei continued to listen and was surprised to find the declaration had already ended, completely concluded.

"This will from seventy billion years ago is truly thought-provoking."

Suddenly, Zhu Zhengwei, seeing from a small perspective, recalled a certain conversation from an era ago.

His conversation with Shiguang Zhengzheng Emperor.

The motto of that powerful man striving for development times:

[I always believe that the despair of mortals mostly comes from their own incompetence.]

[But the despair of the strong mostly comes from the powerlessness of the era.]

[Having built the Elephant Road and Hundred-Stone City, that hero-like man didn't lose to that despicable person, but rather to the entire era, for he could have been stronger, but fate did not allow it, gods did not allow it, he was locked by the entire world! How could a god be killed in sleep by an ordinary woman? He could have been stronger!]

Aren't these words also true for the present?

These civilizations could have been stronger, but they lost to the entire era.

They could have been stronger.

But the cosmic upper limit was too low, locking them by the entire world, locked by rules, only to stand humorously on this sad era's peak, leaving a distant era's will from billions of years ago.

Simultaneously, Zhu Zhengwei recalled his response at that time.

He said to the Shiguang Zhengzheng Emperor: "Perhaps it is so. The despair of mortals, maybe they are like that... This realistic universe is too lonely, too empty, full of desolation, yet my All Heavens and Myriad Realms."

The Shiguang Zhengzheng Emperor said: "Then he must bear the hope of the entire land. He must carry the dreams of all heroes, and he must be very lonely indeed."

Zhu Zhengwei sighed.

Perhaps, in this real universe, the Bo'er Civilization here is the Immortal.

This hero, at the edge of the universe's civilization, left their last ripple in the cosmos. And it's just this echoing, tragic Bo'er Universe Declaration throughout the universe.
