If we compare the entire universe to a piece of cheese.
The densely packed stars, such as galaxy clusters, are the cheese, while the voids are the "holes."
Full of holes.
Different civilizations have different names for this area. In the Kasha Civilization, itās called the "Void," an extreme void where thereās nothing, and no train can traverse this region, not even his.
There isnāt even a resource supply point on the way.
Although the energy consumption of his trainās advancement is reduced by two 99.9%, equating to almost no energy consumption, it still relies on absorbing the core energy flowing in the universe while traveling. Core energy leaks from planets, but this area has no planets at all, so where would the core energy leak from?
Forget the Supermodel Effect.
Even if the Supermodel Effect appears, it would still stall halfway, stuck there.
Moreover, there isnāt a single fixed star inside, not a trace of luminous material. If hell truly exists in this world, it surely resides between the "Cosmic Void," an absolute forbidden zone of the universe, untrodden by anyone, unexplored by anyone.
Itās also the most desolate area in the universe.
In most cases, this area is completely useless, only increasing humansā recognition of the diversity of the universe. He knew this information when he left Water Blue Star to enter the Kasha Civilization Federation, but he never thought about it since itās essentially useless.
Butā
"..."
Chen Mang squinted slightly. Trying to have a light beam attack pass unobstructed for tens of thousands of light-years in a "galaxy cluster" or densely star-populated area is somewhat demanding.
Just like the few beams of light when he had just left the Blue Star.
By now, it should have traveled nearly 2 light-years.
Maybe it has already hit some dead star and dissipated into the universe.
But if it were in the... "Cosmic Void."
Then it would be unimpeded!
All green lights!
Easily advancing for tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of light-years. When the beam he launched reaches the other side of the southern "Cosmic Void" after hundreds of millions of years, the explosive power would be enough to shake the entire universe!
Thinking of this, his face turned slightly unsightly.
Because he did want to throw one over there for fun.
Although he might never witness that scene, he still wanted to toss one over.
And if he could think this way, surely others could too.
Humans are born with a desire to destroy.
Itās in their nature.
For example, as a child, always fascinated by lighting things up with a lighter, pouring water over ant nests, the urge to jump from the edge of rooftops, or wanting to smash beautiful porcelain.
Humans naturally love destruction, destroying themselves, destroying beautiful things, destroying everything visible.
The train civilization certainly isnāt exclusive to this area.
Maybe on the other side of the Cosmic Void, thereās also a train civilization, and someone has upgraded the "Akanon Main Cannon" to Level 200 or maybe launched one millions or even billions of years ago towards the Cosmic Void. It will arrive someday.
No one can truly say for sure.
Who could resist?
With the "Akanon Main Cannon" and "Cosmic Void" being such a perfect match, who could refuse to launch one!
"..."
After pondering for a long while, Chen Mang figured that if there were a civilization on the other side of the Cosmic Void, they surely would have launched one over, but it would take an incredibly long time to arrive.
No,
He had to send one over too.
To avoid being at a disadvantage.
In the universe, assuming unfamiliar civilizations as enemies brings far greater benefits than assuming theyāre friends. Similarly, assuming a civilization as a friend also poses significant risks.
He didnāt prefer broadcasting "hello world" to all civilizations in the universe; he liked something more practical.
Heās past the age of wanting to make friends.
Once decided, he took action.
Chen Mang didnāt pause.
He immediately pushed the trainās speed to the limit. After searching through the official wormholes in the 27th galaxy for a while, he found a strategic wormhole leading south. Currently, his identity as a "Free Army" member grants him free access to strategic wormholes.
Of course, this wormhole is a one-way trip.
But...
That doesnāt matter.
...
Two hours later,
The Constant Star Train had already reached the southernmost point. Many trains were emerging from the wormholes behind him, using it as a transit point to launch attacks on the Insect Race Civilization from the flanks, splitting their forces.
All are Free Army.
Unaffected by anyoneās control, as long as you cause trouble within the Insect Race Civilizationās territory, you can do whatever you want.
But similarly, there is no logistic support.
Everything is self-sustained.
Itās equivalent to preparing your armor before participating in the war.
And the Constant Star Train slowly detached itself from the group, heading alone into the vast universe towards the edge of that area, pushing the Fixed Star Trainās speed to its limits, and finally reaching the fringe of the "Cosmic Void" after over forty hours.
"..."
Inside the train compartment,
Chen Mang looked forward, eyes faintly filled with shock. Although he had already known the general data of the Cosmic Void and seen many astronomical images, the true experience of facing it firsthand was still unparalleled in shock.
Thereās no light ahead.
No luminous objects.
Pitch black.
Ultimate void.
Looking at it feels like falling into an abyss, and staring too long can even make one feel their body losing balance, a sense of descent. This feeling is extremely unique, rarely experienced in a lifetime by most.
