The central galaxy of the universe, within the Eternal Star River.
A continent so vast that its total area exceeded more than half of the galaxy, stood at the center of the Eternal Star River, with countless small artificial suns shining above it.
Bringing light and heat to the continent below.
And changing with the passage of time, forming changes in seasons, temperature, and lush vegetation.
That's right, this center of the universe was not a planet.
But a vast continent.
This continent was named the Eternal Continent by the top civilization residing on it, the Eternal Empire. Of course, this Eternal Continent was not naturally formed.
It was created by the Eternal Empire after their civilization reached a certain level of advancement, feeling that a single habitable planet was too small to serve as the core and imperial capital of their civilization.
They artificially created this continent.
And it grew larger with the passage of time.
Gradually expanding to half the size of a galaxy.
Less than half an hour after the emergence of the gods, a summons was issued from the Immortal Imperial Palace at the heart of the Eternal Continent. Subsequently, the domain lords distributed across the Eternal Continent and the galactic marquises stationed in the surrounding major galaxies activated space teleportation devices, quickly arriving at the distant teleportation points of the Immortal Imperial Palace. After inspection, they entered the Immortal Imperial Palace through exclusive imperial palace gates to pay their respects.
Although their civilization's technology had long since reached the point of instantaneous travel from anywhere to anywhere, appearing directly in the Immortal Imperial Palace was also feasible. However, whether it was permissible was another matter entirely.
One could even ride a horse directly into an ancient imperial palace, but which ancient emperor would allow someone to ride a horse into the palace freely? No matter how urgent the matter, one had to dismount at the palace gate, go through layers of notification, before being allowed to enter and deliver a message.
The Eternal Empire and the Immortal Imperial Palace were the same.
No matter how advanced space technology was.
It had to yield to the supreme status of the rulers.
Furthermore, if anyone could freely enter the Immortal Imperial Palace through space teleportation, wouldn't it be easy for rebels or traitors to cause trouble?
Therefore, it was normal to require inspection and transit before entry.
After paying their respects according to etiquette, the domain lords and marquises were seated first, followed by the thirteen council elders of the Immortal Imperial Palace. Finally, the master of the Immortal Imperial Palace, the ruler of the Eternal Empire, known externally as the Eternal God-Emperor, Talos, appeared on the Immortal Divine Throne: Fengwen Novel Network
"Since a hundred years ago, there have been successive reports of anomalies in the stars of the respective star systems. However, because the anomalies were harmless and even brought some benefits, the relevant reports were never submitted. I only discovered these unreported reports after the birth of multi-stellar life forms and a review of past records.
Therefore, I am not summoning you here to thoroughly investigate this matter. After all, according to the rules I set, matters of this degree did not require reporting to me, so I will not pursue responsibility.
The sole purpose of summoning you here today is one thing.
That is to discuss how to deal with the suddenly born stellar life forms. According to the current detection data, although the energy levels of these stellar life forms after birth are slightly weaker than those of the major stars, they can still be comparable to one-tenth of the total energy of those stars.
You should be well aware of the vast difference between a high-energy object that cannot move, has no active attack capability, and no passive defense capability, and a high-energy object that can move freely and possesses both active attack and passive defense capabilities.
Even if their energy level difference is ten to one, the destructive power and influence they can exert are clearly greater for the high-energy object that can move freely and has both active and passive defense capabilities, or even more than ten times greater, and they are very difficult to deal with.
Based on current intelligence, almost all natural, undamaged stars within the Eternal Empire's domain have given birth to corresponding stellar life forms. If nothing unexpected happens, it is highly likely that all natural complete stars in the universe have given birth to stellar life forms. This is an extremely terrifying force!
Head-on combat, brute force, and the like.
The Eternal Empire may not be an opponent.
So now, I want you to investigate thoroughly. Conduct a comprehensive investigation into what these stellar life forms are, whether they have any connections with each other, if they form a unified force, what they want to achieve, and what their goals are. If necessary, you are permitted to conduct appropriate hunting and dissection research on some of these stellar life forms.
But do so discreetly and do not go too far.
It is not appropriate to completely fall out with them before their true nature is understood, unless they fracture amongst themselves and are confirmed not to unite against us."
Let alone technologically advanced civilizations, even deities generally find it difficult to achieve omniscience and omnipotence. Such states are invariably limited to a certain scope, such as within their own divine kingdom or the area covered by their faith.
Even so, to achieve omniscience and omnipotence.
One still needs to concentrate their attention and exert their full strength.
How much more so for a technological civilization.
At this moment, the Eternal God-Emperor of the Eternal Empire, while possessing considerable power through technology and an extremely long lifespan, not needing to fear death, was still a far cry from omniscience and omnipotence.
Moreover, although the Eternal Empire's dominion was vast, encompassing tens of thousands of galaxies, it was still very small compared to the entire universe. Ding Yun's (assuming Ding Yun is the creator)异界传教计划 (plan to spread the faith to other worlds) had not yet reached them, or if it had, it had only affected some low-level civilizations under their rule, which were not given much attention, let alone understood clearly.
Therefore, although he observed the birth of many stellar life forms within the stars, he remained completely ignorant of their specific origins, whether they had a unified command, or their actual capabilities.
Ordering his subordinates to investigate was a reasonable course of action.
As the Eternal God-Emperor's orders were issued, the council elders seated below him, as well as the other domain lords and marquises, quickly relayed the corresponding orders to their subordinates through the Immortal Star Network, urging them to investigate. Subsequently, relevant information from all parts of the Eternal Empire was rapidly transmitted, filtered, and organized by the main computer of the Immortal Imperial Palace, and presented to each individual.
In a short while, some superficial information was obtained, and deeper information was still being filtered and organized, and would soon be fully compiled.
The Eternal God-Emperor and the council elders, etc.
Were all watching attentively.
As they watched, they also brought up corresponding data from the database and reports from lower-level civilizations, confirming that some clues had existed earlier, but they had either not noticed or had not paid attention to them.
This led them to overlook that many problems had already shown early signs.
