X-B125 starfield had recently been designated as a no-fly zone by the Joint Pursuers Alliance. All spaceships were prohibited from entering this starfield. Only researchers approved by the Alliance could go there to investigate. The reason was that there was a serious unknown cosmic anomaly here that might cause danger to those who entered by mistake.

The Alliance formed in the upper three spiral arms was very stable overall, and the member civilizations were very positive, but there would always be conspiracy theorists who were used to spreading rumors and causing trouble.

Some people thought that the Alliance was trying to cover it up. They must have discovered a huge benefit in this starfield and were unwilling to share it with everyone. That was why they announced that there was a serious abnormality here.

However, the Alliance had been established for a long time. The member civilizations were almost connected as one. This public opinion did not cause any waves before it subsided. Only a small number of explorers and space pirates still tried to enter that starfield.

As for the mastermind who caused this abnormal starfield, he was currently adjusting an extremely huge super megastructure. He did not know that the experiment he had once conducted had actually caused such a huge reaction from these civilizations.

He was Li Wenyuan. A few months ago, he had completed the Pillar of

Creation, which had been built for decades.

This super megastructure that spanned nearly 20 galaxies and was as long as 50 light-years at the furthest distance finally began to officially operate. Li Wenyuan heaved a sigh of relief.

In order to find a suitable galaxy group to build the Pillar of Creation, he spent

five years searching for the ideal galaxy.

The construction of the Pillar of Creation first required a stable celestial system. No multi-star system could do it, nor could it be a special celestial body like a Black Hole or a pulsar. This would interfere with the overall structure of the Pillar of Creation.

Secondly, these galaxies that were chosen to build bases could not have too intense relative movements before. For example, one galaxy was approaching the central Black Hole at a speed of a few hundred kilometers per second, while another galaxy was leaving at an even faster speed.

Although the main body of the connection structure of the Pillar of Creation was in the subspace, according to the correspondence between the sub-space and the real universe, this kind of interaction would also cause the connection to be damaged. It might have to undergo major maintenance every once in a while. This kind of variable that might cause the engine to shut down at a critical moment was completely unacceptable to Li Wenyuan.

After searching for a long time, he couldn’t find the ideal galaxy group. He had no choice but to use subspace engineering to get some stars and planets. After precise calculations and simulation experiments, he artificially constructed some celestial systems to serve as the base of the Pillar of Creation.

After a series of bumpy constructions, this huge interstellar space project finally came to an end. Even the size of the central processing unit could not be compared to this super megastructure.

This complete Pillar of Creation looked like a huge sea urchin from a macroscopic perspective. The stars in every galaxy were surrounded by several huge circular worlds. There were also several small rings at the north and south levels of the stars that gradually expanded outwards as if they were guiding the energy of the stars to a certain place.

There were no planets or asteroids that still existed in the structure of these celestial bodies. Even the gravity wells that were not in these galaxies but could return to the galaxy had been targeted to prevent the stability of the galaxy from being destroyed.

In the real universe, one could not see the connection between these galaxies. Those who did not know might think that this was a megastructure of the same type, not a megastructure.

However, if one were to place the scenery in the subspace into the real universe, one would discover that it was a cosmic sea urchin covered in spikes that radiated in all directions.

A large portion of this super megastructure was a functional structure. Even if it left the core, it could still be used independently. However, the effect on the universe’s laws would become very limited. This structure was also a characteristic of a megastructure. Even if it occupied a huge area, it would still be called a megastructure.

However, this level of megastructure also consumed an astronomical amount

of energy.

Those stars seemed to be providing energy for the Pillar of Creation, but in fact, they were only used to maintain the basic energy part of the megastructure.

Modifying the laws of the universe was not something that could be easily changed. It required a huge amount of energy.

If he wanted to activate the Pillar of Creation’s ability to modify the law, Li Wenyuan would need to burn all ten stars with the mass of the sun at once to obtain the energy to activate it once. Furthermore, he could only do the simplest modifications.

“It’S no wonder that the scribe needs to apply to activate their so-called

■creation’… No one can afford such a star-eater…”

There were indeed many stars in the universe, and some of them were of high mass. However, the Pillar of Creation was indeed a huge consumption of energy.

The focus was not on the number of stars, but on how to transport the huge energy sources over at once.

Speaking of which, it was quite interesting. The Pillar of Creation’s multi-layered circular world that revolved around stars in the galaxy was basically a type of battery circular world.

There were only high-energy condensers responsible for energy transmission and energy storage. Many things in this universe were changing, and the only energy was the eternal truth.

For this reason, Li Wenyuan had even stored many supermassive stars in the subspace in advance for the Pillar of Creation to burn.

“…How long has it been? I’ve almost forgotten this feeling of thinking about energy…”

He sighed and began to study how to use this megastructure to enter the cage galaxy.

Previously, he had experimented with the effects of the Pillar of Creation in the spiral galaxy he was in. The results were very satisfactory. The space of a starfield was instantly lengthened by 5,000 light-years, and this simple modification of the space dimension cost him 15 sun-mass stars.

This experiment ended very quickly. He no longer cared about that starfield. Little did he know that in the eyes of the other civilizations in the spiral galaxy, the red shift of that starfield had been extended by a large amount out of thin air. It was as if those galaxy had suddenly undergone a faster-than-light movement in a second. Moreover, this speed was quite fast, much faster than their hyperspace engine.

Therefore, that starfield was classified as a serious unknown cosmic anomaly. Countless scientists from the Alliance flocked to this place.

Of course, Li Wenyuan wouldn’t know about these things, but even if he knew, he wouldn’t care.

Currently, his focus was on the cage galaxy. After some thought, he activated the Pillar of Creation again and began to restore a small portion of the huge space-time distortion area to normal curvature.

The area that he had recovered was only the size of the section of a molecule, but its length went deep into the area and straight into the galaxy.

His goal was not to send the spaceship inside, but to observe the current situation in the cage galaxy through this “crack .

He still didn’t know the Hunter’s exact situation. It was best to get as much information as possible before making plans.

The space-time curvature of this rift quickly returned to normal. The photons could enter the interior normally, which meant that various waves could penetrate it.

However, Li Wenyuan immediately realized that the curvature of the rift began to develop towards its original situation as if it was gradually returning to its previous state.

For this reason, he had no choice but to continue activating the Pillar of Creation to maintain the continual opening of this rift passage.

In the end, the detection wave that first entered the cage galaxy brought back very interesting news.

There was a special life form that existed in this galaxy. It was a group of lifeforms that had been assimilated by this dimension but still maintained a certain higher dimension characteristic.

They had a unique high-dimensional weapon, the Matter Separator. It could directly distort the laws of physics to achieve the goal of destruction.

This weapon would release a special signal, and this signal was detected by Li Wenyuan.

He knew what it was. If it wasn’t another batch of World Breakers who had come to this universe, then he had met someone he knew.

Yes, they were the World Breakers who had left the Milky Way a long time ago. Or rather, they should be called the Silent..
