The second more obvious faction is the enlightener faction. They believe that the intelligent life in the universe can be educated, and the universe should not be as mediocre and cold as it is now.

They are good at using a series of gentle means to secretly inspire the potential of low-level civilizations themselves.

Since this route is not easy to follow, the only one that has been discovered is the enlightener civilization.

Zhang Yuan cannot determine for the time being, what kind of ending will this lonely civilization come to? Is there any follower, or is disheartened and left the Milky Way...

Under normal circumstances, a kind person is easily replaced by bad people. By the same token, a fraternal civilization is likely to be stepped on by a more selfish civilization in fierce competition, which is also a naked reality.

Game theory is common in small human society and in large universes. It is even more difficult to get rid of the prisoner's dilemma.

The third faction is the most dangerous faction, which is the religious civilization in the traditional sense.

Assimilation is a compulsory force, which inevitably means a certain degree of exclusivity. Once two different religious cultures meet, they will be able to decide a victory or defeat, and it is impossible to live in peace.

"Yes, this type of civilization has something in common with certain religions. If it is not exclusive, culture will easily deteriorate and differentiate into other cultures. They must adhere to the only truth. For example, the vassal of the Alev civilization insists on the only sect leader civilization. They firmly believe that only by following the sect leader can they bring them wealth, strength and... eternal life!"

Even the civilizations that have been discovered so far are all low-level civilizations that have not walked out of the starry sky.

But who knows what happened next?

Maybe some interstellar civilizations have also been assimilated? But this matter has not been turned to humans, and humans don’t know about it.

Zhao Qingfeng analyzed: "For interstellar civilizations like ours, low-level civilizations that have not yet stepped out of the planet are as weak as ants. It will not take much effort to forcibly assimilate them. Some simple science is tantamount to magic for indigenous civilizations."

"But for higher-level civilizations, we humans and third-level civilizations are as weak as ants, and can assimilate us at will... This is the most worrying point."

"Even if we don't want to, oh, if we really face that dilemma, we will definitely not want to... The other party can also use military coercive forces to erase all adults and only retain children. Then educate and publicize the children."

"If we are assimilated, as long as we have a generation of time, our thoughts will not be like this now. Our next generation will become a fanatical worshiper of the Alev civilization. The former Earth civilization is just a group of heresy in the eyes of the next generation, and there will be no sense of identity!"

"I even think that assimilating civilizations like ours is more meaningful! It is more valuable than assimilating a hundred low-level indigenous people."

This guess is creepy. It seems like there is a biting coldness that passes from the tailbone to every cell in the body!

There are so many gluttonous beasts hidden in the vast starry sky. What they want is not your **, but your thoughts and... souls!

The universe is 13.8 billion years old, and there are so many possibilities that have been brewed. Such a giant beast may be far more than one. The game in the dark is more intense than imagined. Just a little wave that floats on the surface is enough to make people feel frightened.

Zhang Yuan frowned, "It's so peaceful. If you don't know this, you will be at ease. If you know this, you will feel very urgent. No wonder these information is in a state of confidentiality. If you don't deliberately search for it, you will not be able to get it."

Zhao Qingfeng nodded in agreement: "Yes, smart life can be regarded as a precious resource in the universe, at least more precious than helium-3 or even antimatter!"

Zhang Yuan thought for a while and said, "But, for a while, there is no need for us to worry too much and mess up our progress."

It is actually not wise to blindly expand military strength because of this matter. The development of civilization has its own laws, and artificial reversal of this law will only cause losses in development potential.

The Alev civilization is at least a level four civilization. In the face of the level four civilization, the third-level civilization that does not even have curvature technology is not enough. If you really encounter it, no matter how many troops there are, it will be useless and you can't escape it.

But if you encounter not Alev civilization, but a third-level civilization or a second-level civilization, the current military strength is just right and will not interfere with your own development.

“…The current strength of human beings is far from enough to participate in such a thing.”

"The time when the Milky Way exists is almost the same as the universe. Since the years have been quiet for such a long time, it is not a theoretical problem to last for hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of years."

What humans need to do is to take advantage of this period to develop themselves quickly, including obtaining more information in this regard. Having curvature navigation technology as soon as possible and climbing to the level of level 4 civilization is the correct solution. As long as there is curvature navigation and the Milky Way is so vast, there is still no problem to escape.

Zhang Yuan felt that the current leader’s choice is quite wise, and nothing can mess up his own position.

He whispered: "There should be an internal reason why humans survive to this day... I have a few ideas. Let's call this type of civilization a religious civilization, and it will definitely not be liked by other interstellar civilizations... It may even break out due to different ideas! Of course, such interstellar wars are not something we can participate in for the time being."

"For example, let's say the enlightener civilization. If I were the enlightener, I worked hard to educate a civilization, and gave these indigenous civilizations in the primitive state an environment that could develop so that they would not get stuck. As a result, a religious civilization came later and assimilated them. Then wouldn't my hard work be in vain?"

"I will educate you all the way, and you will assimilate you all the way? What will I think? Who are you, and I will go against me?!" Zhang Yuan made a gesture of cutting meat with a knife.

Zhao Qingfeng couldn't help laughing: "It makes sense, but it still takes the difference in strength between the two sides to be obvious. If the enlightener civilization is far stronger than the Alev civilization, of course, it would be a slap to the other party. But what if the two sides are equal, or even the other way around?"

"The Alev civilization may not be the core of the entire Noah faction? Just like the pyramid scheme network, the Alev civilization may also be the one who will take action?"

Zhang Yuanyouyou said: "So... this matter is indeed very important. Even the third-level civilization, the Badits don't know it, hey."

"According to the information of the Badit civilization, a super war of at least level 6 civilizations occurred in the Milky Way millions of years ago! It is actually hard for us to imagine the true anger of these high-level civilizations."

Of course, these are all just guesses.

But Zhang Yuan did not doubt that high-level civilizations would take action due to reasons such as "ideology".

The higher the civilization, from the ideological level and civilization self-confidence, will become more pure. There is no doubt that civilization like the enlightener will probably help the lower civilization become a beautiful culture of its own.

They believe that this culture represents their own justice. Now that someone has destroyed this culture, that is the real big contradiction.

On the other hand, the significant expansion of the Alev civilization will inevitably trigger the rebound of other interstellar civilizations. As long as you have a little brain, you can know that if no other civilizations stop the balance, this type of civilization will sooner or later spread to the entire Milky Way.
