CHAPTER 545: CHAPTER 544: STRATEGIC PURPOSE?

History is like smoke, always blurring the observer’s vision, making history’s true appearance unpredictable.

Fortunately, after integrating the histories of both the Entropy Civilization and Degenerate Civilization, the Wandering Alliance, Black Hole Civilization, and Antimatter Civilization were able to discern that period of history clearly.

Nowadays, whether Entropy Civilization or Degenerate Civilization was right or wrong no longer matters. Civilizations like the Wandering Alliance don’t care about the moral debates between these two civilizations; they only care about who to cooperate with and how to cooperate.

Therefore, the leader of the Wandering Alliance, Black Hole Lu Chen, stepped forward to end the debate: "Alright, there’s no need to argue anymore, right and wrong are no longer important!"

"But don’t you want to know the truth?"

Almost simultaneously, the Entropy Civilization and the Degenerate Civilization sent out their messages.

Black Hole Lu Chen said, "Yes, we do want to know. But the moment we know the truth, the truth itself no longer matters. This is not the time to debate who is right and who is wrong. The Cosmic Crisis is looming near, what we really need to discuss is what decisions to make next?"

Suddenly enlightened, Degenerate Civilization agreed: "Right, exactly, you got us sidetracked! Entropy Civilization, what exactly are your intentions? You have been relentlessly tarnishing our image of Degenerate Civilization and also opposing our use of the Cosmic Cycle Theory as the foundation of our plan, are you still holding on to past ideologies, wanting us all to perish in the universe?"

"Do you think there are civilizations that don’t want to survive?" Entropy Civilization retorted.

Degenerate Civilization shrewdly said: "Other civilizations definitely will, but it’s hard to say about you, Entropy Civilization, as ideology isn’t easily changed!"

Entropy Civilization responded: "Ideology is closely related to knowledge and culture. We admit, influenced by the teachings of the Entropy Sect, there certainly are stubborn factions committed to preserving the order of the universe, but don’t you, Degenerate Civilization, understand why?"

"Not really!"

"Alright, let’s be clear then. Actually, it was because there was no known method to escape the universe back then, not that we didn’t want to. Therefore, without a specific method, we had no choice, and so did you, hence we had to maintain cosmic order, to prolong the lifespan of the universe, so we could survive longer and have more opportunities to explore ways to continue living! It was a method born out of no other choice, understand?"

The Cosmic Cycle Theory was only recently developed by the Black Hole Civilization; it truly didn’t exist before.

Degenerate Civilization said: "Let’s assume your reasons are valid for now, but now that the Cosmic Cycle Theory has been proposed, and we have seen the dawn of escaping the universe, why are you still discrediting us, the leaders of this matter, and also vehemently denouncing the correctness of the Cosmic Cycle Theory?"

"It’s absurd, have we discredited you? Aren’t we simply telling the truth?"

Entropy Civilization said: "Besides, where have we belittled the Cosmic Cycle Theory? We’re merely pointing out potential risks from a scientific perspective, what’s wrong with that? On the contrary, you’re vigorously promoting the Cosmic Cycle Theory, what exactly are your intentions?"

Degenerate Civilization said: "Because the Cosmic Cycle Theory is the only possibility at present, even if there are risks we must try it. Your comments and behaviors are, without a doubt, suppressing our spirit and determination. If you don’t have a better method, then your actions are simply unreasonable!"

Black Hole Lu Chen said: "Entropy Civilization, the wave backlash was created by you, do you have a better method than Cosmic Cycle Theory?"

Entropy Civilization said: "Of course we do, else do you really think we’re just here to show our faces? In fact, we also possess the method to stop the wave backlash, we wouldn’t corner ourselves. As long as the wave backlash stops, the universe will slowly return to its original state, and we can continue living without any risks. That’s much better than us risking sacrificing our entire civilization to experiment with the Cosmic Cycle Theory, isn’t it?"

"Nonsense, we’ve already obtained the principles of the wave backlash, there absolutely is no method to stop it!"

Antimatter Civilization robustly refuted, having forced Entropy Civilization back earlier in collaboration with Krypton Gold Civilization when they obtained the principles of the wave backlash.

Entropy Civilization said: "Heh, don’t forget, those principles were actively given to you by our Entropy Civilization, naturally, we reserved the most core and key parts. You wouldn’t be foolish enough to think, under no threat to our lives, we would willingly hand over our core scientific and technological knowledge, right?"

"..."

Antimatter Civilization, filled with resentment, said: "You bastards!"

Entropy Civilization said: "Thanks for the compliment!"

Black Hole Lu Chen said: "Since that is the case, then why did you create the wave backlash? And now that things have come to this point, why not stop the wave backlash immediately? Are you waiting for the New Year!?"

Entropy Civilization leisurely said: "Don’t rush, there’s plenty of time. We Entropy Civilization created the wave backlash certainly for our strategic purposes, as long as we achieve our strategic goals, we will naturally stop the wave backlash!"

Black Hole Lu Chen threatened: "I’m afraid you don’t get to decide, the crisis caused by this wave backlash has already been too great, whether you want to stop or not, you will have to. If you don’t stop, I believe the civilizations present would be very willing to force you to stop, so it’s better not to refuse a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit!"

Entropy Civilization said: "Of course we understand, we can’t stand alone against four, but do you think we dare to appear without any backup plan? If you dare to do anything to us, then we will destroy the method to stop the wave backlash ahead of time, at that point it might as well be that we all go down together, Entropy Civilization is not afraid!"

As the saying goes, the one who is barefoot is not afraid of the one wearing shoes, at this moment, Entropy Civilization is playing that role of being barefoot.

The scene also suddenly fell silent, each civilization had their own calculations, but everyone’s major goal was aligned, that is to survive.

After a moment, Black Hole Lu Chen said: "It seems... we have no choice but to listen to your strategic purposes now!"

Entropy Civilization said: "Actually, our strategic purpose is simple, the reason we created the wave backlash was firstly to eliminate those lower-level civilizations with entropy reduction in the universe, and secondly to locate the hidden Degenerate Civilization. Now that the lower-level civilizations no longer exist, and Degenerate Civilization has appeared, our strategic purpose has already been half achieved, as long as we can successfully eliminate Degenerate Civilization next, for survival, we will naturally stop the wave backlash."

"However, as you all know, being a level five civilization as well, it is not easy to eliminate another level five civilization. If we, the Entropy Civilization alone, try to eliminate the Degenerate Civilization, it could take a very long time, possibly even until after the destruction of the universe, which is definitely not something the rest of you here want to see. So, I hope everyone here can join forces to help us eliminate the Degenerate Civilization, and as thanks, we will stop the wave backlash, allowing everything in the universe to return to normal, giving everyone plenty of time to gradually experiment with the Cosmic Cycle Theory."
