And indeed, the facts were just as he thought.

In this extremely vast and numerically chaotic high-dimensional space, no civilization existed that his radar couldn't detect. His radar was already at max level, and it was level 10001.

Even if the opponent had a max-level radar shield.

He could still detect it.

An extremely chaotic high-dimensional space, if a civilization truly existed there, it would surely be a high-dimensional civilization.

"Ai,"

sitting in the train compartment, Chen Mang squinted at the radar screen showing the extremely chaotic and ever-changing high-dimensional space: "Do you think... there could be a high-dimensional civilization in existence?"

Now, he was.

Almost at the pinnacle of the universe.

Just give him a bit more time and some resources, and he could surpass all civilizations.

When he first heard the term 'divine-level civilization,' he was deeply shocked, the sense of oppression it brought was extreme, but... as he approached this position, he suddenly found divine-level civilizations rather ordinary.

If a level 1 civilization is as weak as ants.

Then a divine-level civilization is as powerful as ants.

Essentially, there's no change.

Certainly, divine-level civilizations can employ various means to instantly annihilate multiple civilizations, but essentially it remains the same, different from what he thought of as a real high-dimensional civilization, a truly high-dimensional civilization.

"There should be,"

Ai's voice came from the train: "But it probably doesn't exist in this universe, and even less so in this chaotic high-dimensional universe. That 'high-dimensional universe' is merely an extension created during the universe's expansion."

"Once that region stabilizes near the 'universe's main body,' its values will also stabilize, becoming part of the observable cosmos, a component of the universe's main body."

"Not considered a real high-dimensional universe."

"I think—"

"The real high-dimensional universe might indeed exist 'outside the universe,' beyond the ever-expanding universe, there lies the real high-dimensional universe, which is also where high-dimensional civilizations reside."

"And the universe we're in might, in their eyes, be nothing more than a laboratory vessel."

"Or perhaps an amoxicillin capsule."

"It might even be a coconut."

"Who knows."

"Those high-dimensional civilizations might be observing us like white mice, or they might not care about our existence, just as few people other than children care about how ants dig their nests."

"In that sense, perhaps the former 'Creator of the Future' was right, humanity indeed should not leave the universe, the crises outside the universe are beyond our ability to withstand, and what awaits might not be the extinction of civilization, but the end of the universe."

"..."

Chen Mang remained silent without speaking.

He recalled the origin of the "Hell Suit," the universe's only set, with multiple incredibly powerful effects, but in reality, these effects were merely extras, the core effect was just one, which was the only key to leaving this cage-like universe.

If high-dimensional civilizations are truly observing their universe.

That doesn't seem like good news.

Observation is not a benevolent act.

Just like when children observe the direction of an ant nest, they don't cautiously bend down and use some more delicate tools to examine, but rather crudely pour a splash of urine to determine the direction.

The differences in perspective, even if the observation is without malice, can lead to disastrous consequences.

Of course.

All of this is merely speculation.

Currently, there is no evidence, nor any information, about what lies outside the universe.

His main task now is.

To become a divine-level civilization quickly.

And then...

Consider whether or not to take a look outside the universe. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

...

Later, Chen Mang sat in his chair, looking at the image on the Doppler radar. At the moment, he was at the... central position of the entire universe.

Yes.

His birthplace, the Nia Star System, happened to be at the central position of the entire universe, and could even be said to be the most core region.

Of course...

The universe is not a fantasy novel; there's no guarantee that a place like Central State is necessarily rich in resources, otherwise, he wouldn't have started off so poorly.

Observing the radar screen, he could tell that the current universe was divided among 27 divine-level civilizations. These 27 divine-level civilizations consisted of 14 races, among which some major races had produced several divine-level civilizations.

For example, the Human Race.

The Human Race had produced a total of 5 divine-level civilizations.

Namely, "Human Civilization," "Creation Civilization," "Qi Tian Civilization," "Taoist Civilization," and "Star Refining Civilization."

These five civilizations were all established by the Human Race, and within the civilizations were all humans.

The first three were train-based civilizations, while "Taoist Civilization" and "Star Refining Civilization" were cultivation civilizations.

"Cultivation civilizations..."

Chen Mang looked thoughtfully at the areas of these two civilizations, these two civilizations' territories bordered each other. He had rarely seen advanced cultivation civilizations, an extremely extreme form of civilization.

Very weak in the early stages.

But once developed, the late-stage potential was no less.

And the divine-level civilization territory he was currently in was the territory of the divine-level civilization "Human Civilization." To become a divine-level civilization, he first had to swallow a divine-level civilization's territory, and then withstand the pressure from other divine-level civilizations. Only by advancing under such pressure could he become a true divine-level civilization.

If he wanted to become a divine-level civilization, this "Human Civilization" with the same name as him was undoubtedly one of his greatest enemies.
