Rebirth of the Super Battleship-Chapter 540: Arboreal Race Alien Beast

Just as Xiao Yu was nervously carrying out the data transfer, out in the cosmic void, in a star system not very far from here, four inexplicable existences were communicating with one another.

Judging by appearance alone, it was clear these four were not ordinary civilizations. One was a spaceship about the size of the Moon, its whole body radiating bright light. Another was a gigantic beast whose body, when stretched out, was several thousand kilometers long. As for the third, its body was completely invisible, its presence indicated only by an all-pervading chill.

These three existences were the three Taihao Civilizations in the Milky Way Galaxy, one Technology Taihao, one Alien Beast Taihao, and one Specter Taihao. These three Taihao gathered together, faintly forming a united front. Opposite them was another being whose aura was much weaker, yet whose form of existence bore a certain resemblance to the Specter Taihao.

This existence similar to the Specter Taihao sighed lightly and sent out a message. “Are you truly deciding not to rescue my Main Civilization. You have painstakingly watered it, and when the fruit is about to ripen and about to be harvested, you are going to abandon it. You must understand that the Arboreal Race, one of the three great alien beasts, is not something my Main Civilization at this stage can withstand, not even with me added in.”

If Xiao Yu were here, by this familiar aura he would immediately know that this relatively weaker existence whose aura resembled the Specter Taihao was his Specter companion, the Specter formed by the aggregation of the souls of hundreds of millions of humans who died tragically.

From the Specter companion’s words one could infer that these four had already negotiated here for quite some time. It seemed the Specter companion wanted the Taihao Alliance to take action to help his Main Civilization withstand the Arboreal Race’s assault, while the Taihao Alliance had chosen to refuse.

“Whether you can withstand it or not is your affair. What has it to do with us.” The Alien Beast and Specter Taihao remained silent. The Technology Taihao responded.

“I do not believe you would be content to let the fruit you cultivated with such effort be snatched away by another when it is about to ripen.” The Specter companion said slowly. “I know you want to use me and my Main Civilization to reach the level of a Level 7 Civilization. The Sweepers have the same idea, so I am very puzzled. Why, in this situation, does the Arboreal Race alien beast still dare to strike at my Main Civilization. What puzzles me even more is why, when the Arboreal Race intends to strike at my Main Civilization, the Sweeper Civilization did not come to stop it and your Taihao Alliance also intends to stand idly by. Can you tell me the reason.”

“There is no reason.” The Technology Taihao answered. “As I said, whether you can or cannot hold out has nothing to do with me.”

“Very well. I understand.” The Specter companion replied faintly and continued. “Then I have several other questions. I hope you can help me answer them.”

“That depends on my mood.” The Technology Taihao said.

“I want to ask, regarding Earth’s destruction, who did it.” The Specter companion asked.

This time it was the Alien Beast Taihao who answered. This being with a colossal body said, “Cannot say.”

The second to answer was the Specter Taihao. “Not me.”

The third to answer was the Technology Taihao. “Do not know.”

“I see.” The Specter companion replied. “Then, several million years ago, was it you who modified the genes of a certain ape species on Earth and shaped the present human world.”

“Yes.” The Technology Taihao answered.

“No wonder the creator god in our human legends is called Taihao.” The Specter companion sighed lightly. “In the time afterward, you ensured that Earth Civilization’s development would not be harassed by other civilizations. You always watched over humanity in secret, did you not. You knew Earth was about to explode, yet you did nothing. After my Main Civilization left Earth, you continued to watch it and made a series of arrangements that let my Main Civilization encounter danger again and again and grow stronger again and again, did you not.”

“Yes.” The Technology Taihao answered.

“Why.” The Specter companion asked.

“Cannot tell you.” The Technology Taihao said.

“Very well, the last question.” The Specter companion said. “In this series of events, what role has your Taihao Alliance played.”

To this question the Technology Taihao did not answer but instead asked in return. “Do you not already know. Why ask us again.”

“Very well, then let it be so. My Main Civilization and I will join hands to resist the Arboreal Race’s assault. We will gradually grow stronger and ultimately jump off the chessboard. You want to control our fate, to have us develop along the route you set and finally profit from us. I want to tell you, it will not be so simple.”

“Perhaps one day the comparison of strength between us will completely reverse. When that time comes, I hope you will not regret it.” The Specter companion sent out this message faintly and turned to leave.

Sensing the aura of Xiao Yu’s Specter companion grow weaker and weaker, the Alien Beast Taihao could not help asking, “Is it really fine to reveal this information to him. Also, can our instigation of the Arboreal Race alien beast to attack Xiao Yu truly affect the Sweeper Civilization.”

“It does not matter. He will learn these things sooner or later. We actually do not need to care what the Divine Ark Civilization thinks. As long as he can do as we intend and destroy the Neutron War Star, that is enough. Given the present relationship between the Sweepers and the Divine Ark Civilization, we no longer need to push them. They will inevitably stand as enemies. Now, after defeating the Pegasus Civilization, the Divine Ark Civilization is almost mature and almost ready to be harvested. Precisely because of this, the Sweeper Civilization cannot allow the Divine Ark Civilization to be destroyed by the Arboreal Race and let the food that is about to enter its mouth be snatched away by another. And now that possibly powerful existence from beyond the galaxy will surely force the Sweepers to go all out. At this moment we incite the Arboreal Race to deal with the Divine Ark Civilization. With the Sweepers facing two powerful opponents at the same time, their current mood must be quite interesting.”

“Yes, that is our plan.” The Specter Taihao continued. “Facing that existence that may be from beyond the galaxy, the Sweeper Civilization cannot retreat. At the same time the Sweeper Civilization cannot accept the Arboreal Race destroying the Divine Ark Civilization. Then they can only fight on two fronts and will suffer even heavier losses. This benefits us.”

“Yes.” The Technology Taihao said. “To make the Sweeper Civilization suffer a bit more and to let the Divine Ark Civilization taste a bit of fear, that is nothing.”

“That fellow from beyond the galaxy is without question very powerful, more powerful than we are. Meeting such an opponent will surely give the Sweeper Civilization a headache.Only then can we fish in troubled waters. If at this time we contact the Guardian Civilization, or further incite the Python Race and Crocodilian Race, if we few, together with that fellow, besiege the Sweepers, what would happen.” At this moment the Alien Beast Taihao even showed a faint eagerness to try.

“That fellow may be from beyond the galaxy. As for exactly where he came from, we still cannot be certain.” The Technology Taihao said. “Although his strength is very great, and joining with the Guardians, the three great alien beasts, plus the three of us, to besiege the Sweeper Civilization indeed offers a high chance of victory, I still choose to sit tight and let them fight it out. Do not forget how many losses we have suffered beneath the Neutron War Star over the past tens of millions of years and how many situations we thought were certain death were, under the crushing of the Neutron War Star, easily flattened like ants. Therefore, before the Neutron War Star is destroyed, our Taihao Alliance will absolutely not confront the Sweeper Civilization head on.”

“Very well, forget it then.” The Alien Beast Taihao said somewhat sullenly. “But I highly doubt whether the Divine Ark Civilization can find the corpse of the Micron Civilization. Although the Specter Heart does indeed have a certain connection to the Micron Civilization’s corpse, you, Specter, could not find it with the Specter Heart. On what basis do you think the Divine Ark Civilization can find it. If they cannot find the Micron Civilization’s corpse, I do not believe the Divine Ark Civilization can contend with the Neutron War Star. Reaching the level of the Guardian Civilization would already be the peak.”

“I have this premonition. The Divine Ark Civilization will definitely be able to find the Micron’s corpse. I have, after all, become a Taihao and am no longer a pure Specter, whereas the Divine Ark Civilization’s Specter companion is pure.” The Specter Taihao said quietly. “Moreover, even if I found the Micron’s corpse, I could not utilize it. The Divine Ark Civilization must take the field and join with its Specter companion to control the Micron’s corpse and ram the Neutron War Star in order to destroy it.”

“In fact, that is precisely why we have been cultivating the Divine Ark Civilization, is it not. However…” The Technology Taihao pondered a moment and said somewhat helplessly, “The Sweeper Civilization’s methods are indeed a cut above ours. I am certain the Sweeper Civilization discovered the differences in those primitive apes far earlier than we did. Yet they took no action and instead let us exhaust ourselves modifying their genes and cultivating them, while they lay in wait to reap the benefits in the end.”

“That is not quite fair to say. The Divine Ark Civilization’s growth has already exceeded our expectations. Perhaps with the help of the Micron corpse, the Divine Ark Civilization can truly defeat the Sweepers…”
