Chapter 361: The End of the Journey

Many creatures...many civilizations have begun new actions.

They began trying to make contact.

Contact...other civilizations.

Many civilizations in the void think they are very lonely. They often imagine what kind of biological civilizations there are in the void and try to contact those civilizations.

In fact, this is also true in the collector's pipeline.

The creatures here also have this idea. Although many civilizations have seen nearby civilizations, they generally only think that nearby civilizations are similar to themselves. There must be all kinds of magical civilizations in the void.

Of course, they are just imaginations. The biggest goal of the civilization in the pipeline is to leave the pipeline. They have been trying to fly into the void using various methods.

Now, many civilizations intend to bypass this step and directly contact the civilizations in the void.

Since they can't launch any aircraft, they mainly study various methods of transmitting signals.

They had previously studied sending signals to the outside world, but they couldn't even communicate with isolated civilizations.

But now many civilizations seem to have suddenly "woken up" and have developed some special ways of sending signals.

This method is similar to space signal. Simply put, it transmits the signal through some small spaces.

In this way, signals can be transmitted over great distances into the void.

There are some civilizations that keep trying to transmit information to the outside world. At first, they actually don’t know whether this will be useful, because the only tests they can do are within their own territories.

However, some civilizations received external responses after trying to send out messages.

These responses came from the depths of the distant void. Although the civilizations that received the responses were completely unable to understand these messages at first, they continued to try to analyze them, and finally they even succeeded in understanding the content of these foreign messages.

In fact, these external contents are very simple, and the other party is also wondering whether these messages are sent by some civilization, so the response is just some inquiries.

Then, the civilizations of both sides slowly... came into contact.

They are all trying to parse each other's information, understand each other's language, everything about each other.

In this way, many civilizations in the pipelines established contact with various civilizations in the void.

But the main reason they were able to understand each other so quickly was because of... a miraculous creature.

It seemed to do something special, such as 'translating' the information between both parties, but in fact the particle creature...did not directly observe what it did, but the particle creature thought so.

The civilization in the pipeline and the civilization in the void gradually came to know each other's situations through continuous information transmission, which made the civilization in the pipeline feel very...surprised about the outside world.

After all, there is a big difference between the environment in the pipe and the void outside.

And the civilization outside is also very strange. I wonder if the civilization in this pipe is real.

But no matter what, they still maintained communication, and both sides had great interest in each other.

Although the civilization inside the pipeline cannot leave, the civilization outside may be able to find the pipeline.

The civilization inside the pipeline can also observe the starry sky outside...so they can roughly describe the location of the pipeline.

Most civilizations are not capable of finding conduits, and generally speaking the civilizations they contact do not have the ability to travel long distances.

But there are a few civilizations that have the ability to find pipelines, and they try to investigate the traces of pipelines in the void.

A few civilizations successfully discovered the pipeline, and then... they were destroyed.

The collector did not ignore what happened to it.

In fact, it also deliberately approaches some civilizations that can discover where it is and then destroys them.

But it is not like before, seeking to destroy and collect all civilizations. It will not specifically look for those civilizations that are unable to find it.

Next, the civilization inside the Collector's pipeline has been in contact with the outside world, and the Collector is approaching the stronger civilizations inside. They are all civilizations that have the ability to detect the Collector's location, and the Collector is constantly destroying them.

The particle creatures discovered at this time that collectors often encountered some strange civilizations.

Civilizations that have the ability to search for the location of the Collector are all very powerful civilizations. Of course, the civilization mentioned here does not only refer to a group of developing individual creatures, but also various other special creatures, including creatures that can travel through virtual space like buses, creatures like dream creatures that can only exist under special "rules", and microbial storms that will devour everything, etc.

What is special is that no matter how strange the biological civilization is, they can contact the civilization in the pipeline and understand each other.

The Collector encountered many different biological civilizations, and destroyed many of them.

But slowly, the particle creature felt that the collector was also showing signs of... tiredness.

In any case, every contact was a brutal war... The most brutal one was when the particle creatures saw the collector's entire body split in half, and most of the civilization inside was destroyed.

Although it eventually merged back into its original form, the particle creatures discovered that the collector's behavior was slowly changing.

It began to stop actively contacting those civilizations.

But even if collectors don't go looking for them, they will go looking for collectors.

Then, various tragic wars continued to occur.

When observing granular organisms, it gives it a feeling that the collector has changed from actively searching to being passively searched.

Of course, the whole process is very long. From the connection between the civilization in the pipeline and the outside, to the communication and encounter, it will take at least hundreds of Ersh years.

In short, the civilization in the pipeline always has a way to contact the outside world, and the collectors don't seem to have any prohibitions on this.

Finally, in a war, the Collector destroyed a civilization that looked like a nebula.

They are like nebulae, covering a huge area like fog.

After the war with this civilization ended, the Collector's own civilization... was completely destroyed.

In almost all encounters, the enemy's first target is the civilization on the collector, not the collector itself.

These civilizations are like collectors' skins, and are most likely to attract firepower, but this is the first time that all civilizations have been destroyed.

The Collector could easily have recreated civilization, but it didn't.

After that it ended its journey.
