"Now it seems that the scholar's words are as unreliable as the words of the scientist who introduced the White Star Civilization Fleet into the Star Gate. How could the Constant Era be so long in the end?" Nian Xinghe smiled and continued, "But at any rate

He was at least half right, which allowed the fleet leader at the time to make a crucial decision."

After experiencing countless sufferings, everyone in the White Star Civilization became pessimists, and under the influence of this pessimism, the White Star Civilization made an unprecedented and important decision.

Taking the overall survival of civilization as the first goal, any policy that can achieve this goal will be implemented unconditionally.

This decision will take effect forever until civilization completely escapes this predicament.

When this decision was first implemented, there were not many changes within the White Star civilization, because the Constant Era was still very long at that time, and the civilization had enough time to develop.

But gradually, changes occurred.

Supplies became increasingly scarce, and in the end even a bit of interstellar dust could not be found, so we had to go to the deep space of chaos to salvage it.

A material rationing system was established.

The Constant Era gradually became short-lived, and after the great purges of the Chaos Era, there was less and less time left for the development of civilization.

The establishment of a citizen life time planning schedule system.

Other civilizations are gradually forced to breathe by the increasingly harsh living environment. The population is getting smaller and smaller, and the total number of civilizations is beginning to decrease. Therefore, the total number of survivors is correspondingly reduced. Even if you are an overlord, you can

The number of survivor slots held also began to decrease.

The population control plan was established and the norms of civilized war were established.

Finally, some civilization couldn't hold on and chose to follow a path similar to the White Star Civilization.

The environment is getting worse and worse, and civilization has become polarized.

Some civilizations began to follow the path taken by the White Star Civilization, gradually abandoning civilization and sensibility and moving towards absolute rationality. They gradually adapted to the increasingly bad universe and gradually became stronger.

Some civilizations are unwilling to break the bottom line in order to survive, and choose to lie down completely, no longer develop the population, and maintain the population of the civilization at a minimum.

As long as my population is small enough, I can successfully survive the Era of Chaos with only a guaranteed number of survivors.

Hearing this, Qin Ling interrupted Nian Xinghe's narration: "From this point on, drastic changes are going to happen, right?"

Nian Xinghe took a serious look at Qin Ling and said slowly: "So you really understood the foreshadowing I left before."

"Did you think I just said it casually?" Qin Ling rolled his eyes.

"I think I'm hiding it quite cryptically." Nian Xinghe said helplessly, "It seems like I'm really not good at telling stories."

"Your hints are obviously too cheeky." Qin Ling spread his hands, "If I really can't tell, then I didn't listen carefully. I guess what you are going to say next is a deep space nightmare, right?"

"Yes, deep space nightmare." Nian Xinghe affirmed.

In fact, there was no such natural disaster as the Deep Space Nightmare at the beginning.

Ever since civilization's attitude toward this terrible world became polarized, in the middle of a certain Era, the deep space nightmare quietly appeared without warning.

In just one instance, more than 90% of the civilizations that refused to develop were wiped out.

The first deep space nightmare, from the current perspective, is actually very mild. Its symptoms are very mild, and it will take a long time to develop to the point of no return.

How long is it?

This is enough time for the White Star Civilization to discover a way to fight against the deep space nightmare.

Spiritual fusion barrier is the easiest and feasible way to achieve. Not only the White Star Civilization, but also many more powerful civilizations have discovered the secret of this on their own.

Although we have found a way to fight against the deep space nightmare, the damage caused by that deep space nightmare is inevitable.

At this critical moment for the survival of civilization, almost all civilizations that have established a thinking barrier system have broken the last bottom line of human beings at about the same time.

Treat "people" completely as parts, and mass-produce such "parts" through industrial production lines.

In the White Star Civilization, this system is called the population customization system.

As for those civilizations that survived and refused to develop...

The White Star Civilization and the Star Spirit Civilization, combined with many powerful civilizations, jointly built a spiritual protection device for them, semi-forcibly protecting them through the deep space nightmare.

After this, the only remaining civilization that refused to develop completely disappeared.

Either they will re-enter the old path of other civilizations under the threat of complete death, or... they will become extinct.

The environment in the small universe is getting worse and worse.

But the dark order has been established, and since then, there has been no large-scale civilization extinction event.

"But there will still be civilizations that become extinct, right?" Qin Ling looked at Nian Xinghe, "The original deep space nightmare must be different from the current deep space nightmare."

Nian Xinghe sighed: "That is after the basic rules are completed, the details of the rules are filled in."

Challenges to the rules of the universe still exist.

Some civilizations are trying to find loopholes in the rules. After determining that the key to fighting the deep space nightmare is population, they have a careful idea.

Some civilizations try to enslave other civilizations and use the populations of other civilizations to fight against the deep space nightmare, while their own people only retain a small elite population. In this way, they can easily obtain enough survivors to survive the era of chaos.

Some civilizations try to divide their tribesmen into different levels. The lower-level population will not be regarded as tribesmen, so that when they finally face the era of chaos, they can abandon these low-level populations without any pressure. In this way, they will not have much chance of survival.

There is pressure on candidate quota.

Some civilizations try to brainwash their tribesmen and let them sacrifice themselves voluntarily when the era of chaos comes. This can greatly reduce the pressure on the number of survivors.

And civilization...

These civilizations eventually became part of the warning and were presented as classic cases to everyone who did not understand the nightmare of deep space.

The White Star Civilization is very lucky. They were the first civilization to embrace the cruelest rules. They never tried to challenge the rules, so they have survived.

"The White Star Civilization is an ancient civilization. We have witnessed a lot, so we understand better what we are fighting against." Nian Xinghe said in a low tone, "Now you understand why I said that war cannot disappear, right?"

Qin Ling sighed: "The person behind the scenes hopes to see everything happening now. All actions that may change everything will only lead to new 'patches' to correct the possible consequences of this action..."

"Exactly."
