Galaxy Domination Guide

The tragedies they had experienced did not end with their venture into space, rather they embarked on another kind of tragedy.

Dr. Bean, as the head of the project and the main possessor of the spaceship's technology, became the most powerful person on the ship. When the ship took off, many compromises were made, and the number of people aboard was much more than planned.

Dr. Bean's flight destination was a planet suspected to be habitable, Chadi Star, which was about 234 astronomical units away from Taoran Star. The spaceship did not carry much fuel; it mainly traveled at a constant speed in space, utilizing each encounter with planets to use their gravity to sling the spaceship forward, resulting in acceleration.

According to calculations, it would take 70 years for the spaceship to reach Chadi Star. For an ordinary person, wasting 70 years is extremely terrifying. For a young person like Hu, who was still young when they left, by the time they reached Chadi Star, they might have become a centenarian or even not survive that long.

Dr. Bean quickly made a decision. He selected the passengers he deemed "most valuable" and placed them in Life Support Containers, preserving their youth and saving their time. When the spaceship would arrive at Chadi Star, they would still be of their original age.

These so-called most valuable passengers were none other than the Taoran Star's elite, military bigwigs, business tycoons, and scientists. However, the spaceship could not operate without people, so Dr. Bean trained a group of people—many were young individuals like Hu, with certain knowledge and skills—and the rest were from the colonies.

Dr. Bean told the remaining crew that in order to save the spaceship's resources and preserve a seed of Taoran Star, he made such a decision, asserting that those who stayed were truly alive, while those who were frozen were as good as dead.

At first, Hu and his companions saw nothing wrong with this rationale. They lived alone on the spaceship, and the initial excitement quickly faded. The crew read books brought from Taoran Star, told stories to each other after finishing them, and it even escalated to no-holds-barred sexual free-for-alls among the male and female crew members. Hu watched as, in order to stave off boredom, the crew members continuously swapped partners for mating. He himself felt unimaginable, became even more reclusive, facing the pitch-black space, zoning out.

As time passed, some of the female crew members became pregnant, which added a bit of vitality to the spaceship. People started preparing for the birth of new life, although no one could discern who the fathers of the children were.

However, the children born in the cosmos began to die one after another. The crew believed this to be a terrifying epidemic, so they woke Dr. Bean.

Dr. Bean was incredibly angry to be woken for such a reason. He reprimanded the crew and then went back to sleep.

The situation continued to occur. People kept giving birth, but the infants continued to die. Several female crew members eventually couldn't stand it any longer and chose suicide.

Such an environment made the crew even more depressed, and their lives became continuously boring.

This monotonous existence persisted for thirty years!

As the crew aged, with some even prematurely dying, they began to realize the issue—those powerful individuals lying in the Life Support Pods were still living well, while they, the crew, were continuously wasting their lives, heading towards extinction.

The crew finally reached a breaking point and initiated a coup. Hu watched indifferently. He had always stayed put on the spaceship, tending to the crops that fed the people, and he was not fond of speaking.

The mutinous crew opened one life support container after another, dragging out the ageless people within, and killing them in the most brutal ways. Some were nailed alive to the walls of the spaceship, while others were thrown directly into space, suffocating in the freeze. Even more horrifying, some of the crew used the living as food.

Unable to bear witnessing such scenes any longer, he secretly shut down the entire life support device, and the thousands of people remaining in the life support device died at that moment. Doctor Dou was protected by him, but in the end, Doctor Dou still perished.

The nutrient solution life support technology he'd designed had a serious flaw. Although people appeared to not age, once they exited the life support device, their aging would accelerate within a single day, leading to their ultimate death.

This was the final madness aboard the spaceship. With Doctor Dou dead, the crew knew there was no salvation for them. Many chose to end their lives on the spot, and those who did not commit suicide slowly died after falling into despair. Thirty-four years after the spaceship left Taoran Star, everyone was dead except for him.

He wasn't frightened by this, as he had long ago discovered the wondrous aspects of the universe. He felt he was gaining an entirely new way to understand the universe and harness power, unaware that this power was called Star Energy.

He halted his aging, maintaining the appearance of a middle-aged man, and lived on this spaceship. He grew crops from Taoran Star in his bed, contemplating the universe's mysteries and carrying on this way.

Seventy years after the spaceship left Taoran Star, it ultimately failed to reach Chadi Star as Doctor Dou had anticipated. The navigator had miscalculated the redshift, veering severely off course, and the spaceship was now more than 15 astronomical units away from Chadi Star.

He was not disheartened by this, his life unchanged, until thirty years later, when the spaceship was entering a nebula, he encountered Bai Zhongqi and Zero's agent.

His story was a long one, which he told in almost excruciating detail, along with his feelings about many things. Bai Zhongqi could truly sense that, even though he had learned to face solitude, upon meeting someone capable of communication, he was still very willing to talk.

Even if it was through a form of mind communication.

Bai Zhongqi was somewhat shocked by his story. The universe he had experienced was already very cold, but hearing such a cold cosmic story still made him feel uneasy.

In such an environment, the concepts of good and evil may have lost their meaning, and even the significance of survival itself might have been diminished. It could also be that in such conditions, he became a Star Warrior.

At this moment, Zero addressed Bai Zhongqi directly through the Deep Sleep System, "Your Majesty, if I'm not mistaken, then this individual, Hu, should be a Star Warrior master."

Bai Zhongqi had actually already faintly guessed this possibility. Now under the Star Alliance, there were over one thousand five hundred Star Warriors, but only two, Nan Ma and Zero, could be considered Star Warrior masters. The emergence of a Star Warrior master was extremely difficult, yet in this remote corner of the universe, Bai Zhongqi had encountered a Star Warrior master like Hu.

The Chancellor hesitated. This was an unknown fellow, but his power was considerable. If he could be put to use by the Star Alliance, it would be very valuable indeed.
