228: Chapter 217 Parallel Passages

The four parallel channels in the Galactic Core Region of the Milky Way Galaxy.

Since their establishment, countless spaceships have been passing through here every day without interruption.

Those heading to the Main Universe are naturally the "lucky ones" selected by lottery in the Kindling Project.

They will be sent to the parallel world on the other side of the channel, unlike their compatriots.

Who will perish along with this Milky Way Galaxy in the great cosmic catastrophe in a year and a half.

Because there are over 300 million civilizations in the Milky Way Galaxy, including native ones and those that fled here.

Therefore, the living beings on every spaceship are from various different civilizations.

They chatted idly on the ship.

"Fortunately, the Great Deity Xingyang came to our universe. Actually, decades ago, when I watched that Evil God Chu Zhangyang devouring this universe at a speed we couldn't comprehend, I knew we were finished."

"I had completely lost heart, just waiting for everything to be destroyed."

"But I didn't expect that with the help of the god, I would actually be able to run to another universe and continue to survive."

A creature with three tentacles on its head said with great emotion: "Of course, it's surviving with the mission of continuing our civilization."

"But compared to my compatriots, I feel I am incredibly lucky."

"Our civilization has already sent out a group of people before."

"I will form a family with one of the females among them!"

"All of this is arranged by the upper echelons of our civilization, but coincidentally, that female is exactly the type I like!"

Many different kinds of creatures nearby listened to its enthusiastic talk.

It's just that due to racial segregation, they couldn't imagine what a female with three tentacles on its head would look like.

The creature shed tears as it spoke. It wiped its eyes and continued: "Actually, I have lived a mediocre life for half my life."

"Ever since I learned about the terror of the Zhangyang Civilization, I completely gave up and became a piece of trash that everyone detested!"

"Yet, someone as pathetic as me was miraculously selected."

"And I even got to bring home a beauty!"

"I looked at that female's profile. You know, in normal times, a female like her wouldn't even look at me!"

"But now, for the continuation of our civilization, she has to follow the arrangements from above and build a family and have children with me!"

"But I..." the creature began to choke up.

The tentacles on its head swayed slightly due to excitement: "But I... I would rather continue being a piece of trash, continue being detested by everyone, and continue being alone until I die."

"I just Hope that this doomsday is fake, and all of this is a terrible nightmare."

"I Hope this universe is fine, without disaster and without destruction!"

The other creatures could only gently pat its shoulder, comforting it as it cried incessantly.

"Don't be sad. We are also people selected in the Kindling Project, and we can deeply feel your pain."

"Yes, as those who survived, our hearts don't feel any better than our compatriots who are left here facing death!"

"But the continuation of civilization is necessary. We must live well in that universe."

"We must have children and let them pass down the history of our civilization in that universe forever."

Listening to everyone's comfort, the tentacled man's mood calmed down a little.

It calmed down and turned its gaze to the outside of the porthole.

But looking at the densely packed spaceships outside, it suddenly showed a puzzled expression: "That's not right. We are all passenger ships for the Kindling Project, right?"

Everyone nodded.

A helpful one even explained: "The parallel channels were opened specifically for the Kindling Project."

"Although the channels have increased from the initial one to the current four."

"But isn't the number of people in the Kindling Project also four times what it was before?"

"To send the creatures selected from hundreds of millions of civilizations to that universe in just a few short years, naturally, a large number of passenger ships are traveling through that channel every moment."

"So, even though we are still 80 million kilometers away from the channel, the ships waiting in line to enter the channel are already packed densely!"

The tentacled creature listened to the other creature's explanation, and its confusion did not decrease at all.

It stared intently out the porthole and asked curiously: "I had heard about the long queues of spaceships."

"But it should be passenger ships queuing up. And they should be ships of various styles from different civilizations."

"But looking at it, the densely packed ships outside are actually warships with similar specifications and shapes!"

Everyone then followed its gaze to look over.

After seeing the scene outside, everyone opened their mouths wide, wondering to themselves what was going on with this massive fleet.

Could it be that there weren't enough passenger ships, and they were specially recruited from some civilization?

At this time, in the control center not far from the four channels.

Baliwei also discovered this situation, and he immediately reported it to his wife and superior, Luo Ningning.

The couple had been staying in the control center for the past few years, responsible for the operation of the four channels.

Luo Ningning was furious after hearing the report: "Liwei, are you seeing things? How could a massive army come here!"

"Did you go drinking all night with that blockhead Le Gang again?"

"Such a big man and you don't know how to do anything!"

"There are so many things to do in the control center, and I'm so busy every day that I can't even eat, yet you are drinking and doing nothing all day!"

Listening to his wife's scolding, Baliwei felt aggrieved and had nowhere to voice it.

The 3.6-meter-tall giant said with grievance, like a child who had made a mistake: "I really didn't see wrong, although the number of ships passing through here every day is huge."

"But they are all kinds of miscellaneous ships from various civilizations."

"So, those tens of thousands of warships with almost the same style are very conspicuous when mixed in."

"I am a soldier, after all, so I can naturally tell at a glance."

Seeing her husband's extremely sincere explanation was logical and well-founded.

Luo Ningning then became serious.

She quickly ordered her subordinates to pull up the real-time video footage of the vast queue.

Then she narrowed her eyes and observed carefully.

Actually, there was no need to search too deliberately.

After all, the tens of thousands of warships at the end of the line were quite conspicuous.

Luo Ningning looked hesitant, and after pondering for a moment, she began to review today's dispatch list.

It did not show that any civilization would be using an army to transport personnel for the "Kindling Project" today.

Besides, it was such a massive fleet of warships.

After some more checking, her subordinates immediately found the relevant information.

"These are the warships of the Milky Way Galaxy's native civilization, Alliance Member!"

"I don't know what their purpose is, coming here with such a large-scale army all of a sudden."

"And looking at the style of these warships, it seems that all the elite warships of the entire civilization have come!"

Hearing this, Luo Ningning instantly realized the seriousness of the problem.

She immediately reported the abnormal situation here to the "divine might".

And also uploaded the holographic images of that strange fleet of warships.

Not long after, Tu Kulei sent a request for video communication.

The high-ranking officials of the entire parallel channel control center immediately gathered at the communication equipment.

Waiting for the instructions of the Missionary Officer.

In the holographic image, half of Tu Kulei's face was very gloomy.

He said hatefully, word by word: "These are the warships that the Alliance Member civilization is using to seize the parallel channels!"

"They obviously don't want to wait here until the end of the universe, so they have staked everything on a single throw and dispatched all their troops here!"

"Preparing to seize the parallel channels and then go to our Main Universe!"

Baliwei replied with a serious face: "That won't do! We definitely cannot let them pass!"

"But can a single civilization mobilize such a huge fleet of warships?"

"We just counted roughly, and there are as many as 70,000!"

Tu Kulei explained patiently: "The Alliance Member civilization is inherently a strong native civilization of the Milky Way Galaxy!"

"In our universe, Alliance Member joined the Silver Core Alliance very early on!"

"But in this universe, due to the lack of constraints from the alliance, their civilization has developed into a warlord-like civilization of armed expansion."

"Everyone is a soldier, and children start practicing in space not long after they are born, so the number of warships is naturally extremely large."

"They even once had colonies outside the Milky Way Galaxy."

"But after the extraterrestrial colonies were destroyed by the false god Chu Zhangyang, in order to deal with that impossible-to-defeat false god, the entire civilization has been sparing no effort to build warships and upgrade weapons for so many years!"

"Therefore, with the blessing of various factors, their total number of warships has reached a terrifying 100,000!"

Luo Ningning realized the problem at once, and she shouted anxiously: "100,000!"

"But what we see, mixed in at the end of the passing queue, is only 70,000."

"Do they still have 30,000 as an ambush force!"

Tu Kulei on the other side of the holographic image shook his head: "No, those 30,000 are already fighting us!"

Everyone in the entire control center was stunned when they heard this.

It turned out that the Alliance Member civilization was already at war with the Xingyang Civilization.

It seems that their plan to seize the parallel channels had been premeditated for a long time.

"Then why didn't I receive any combat orders! Who is fighting them!"

Le Gang, whose body flowed with the blood of battle, asked with a hint of unwillingness.

If possible, he really didn't want to miss every opportunity for battle.

Tu Kulei nodded and said slowly: "Don't worry, there will be a time for you to appear!"

"Those 30,000 are their feint troops, and Xiliu and Yu Lan are already fighting those 30,000."

"They even dragged in two allies!"

Hearing this, Luo Ningning asked worriedly: "Then... can Xiliu and the others handle it?"

Tu Kulei nodded: "According to the real-time news from the battlefield, the most dangerous time has passed."

"At first, those three civilizations had the upper hand, but the main force of our Main Universe's Silver Core Civilization has also gone over."

"Now the situation is tilting in our favor."

"So you don't need to worry about the situation there; what you need to worry about is the 70,000 Alliance Member warships in front of you!"

Le Gang's restless heart could no longer be contained, and he roared excitedly: "Missionary Officer, don't worry, leave this to us."

Luo Ningning looked at him with eyes like looking at an idiot, her small lips moving quickly: "Are you okay?"

"How many troops do we have in our control center? How can we block 70,000 warships!"

"Relying on your hot blood, you blockhead?"

Le Gang scratched his head embarrassedly; he obviously hadn't thought that far ahead.

He just felt that after watching the coming and going of spaceships here for so many years, this time he could finally truly move his body.

His friend Baliwei was obviously much calmer.

He stared at Tu Kulei in the holographic image and asked: "Is Xiliu's Symbiotic Armor Special Forces still fighting elsewhere?"

"Even if all of our Xingyang Civilization's hundreds of warships are mobilized, I'm afraid they won't be able to handle those 70,000 Alliance Member warships, right?"

"Looking at the stance of the other side, this time they are really going to fight us to the death."

"So, Lord Missionary Officer, we should still have reinforcements on the way, right?"

Tu Kulei showed an approving smile: "Yes, there must be reinforcements."

"Otherwise, with the few people we have at the parallel channel, how could we possibly deal with those vast warships!"

Everyone in the command center breathed a sigh of relief, and their hanging hearts finally settled down.

But Luo Ningning still cautiously added: "There is one more thing we must pay attention to."

"Those 70,000 warships are mixed in at the end of the queue waiting to enter the channel."

"They are obviously doing this on purpose."

"In a sense, they have already taken those Kindling Project ships as hostages!"

"Because, our weapons of mass destruction cannot be used."

"It is very easy to accidentally injure those passenger ships transporting Kindling Project personnel!"

"Hmm!" Tu Kulei said while thinking: "We have also considered the situation you mentioned."

"However, the reinforcements sent this time should be able to solve this problem!"

Le Gang gritted his teeth and said: "I originally thought that Alliance Member's desperate struggle before the extinction of their civilization could be considered a courageous civilization!"

"But seeing that they deliberately used innocent civilians as human shields."

"Just for this, I will never let them pass here no matter what!"

Tu Kulei corrected him with a serious face: "No matter what the situation is, they must not be allowed to pass through the parallel channel!"

"If they succeed, other civilizations will naturally follow suit!"

"But we all know that the parallel channel is already running at full capacity and there is absolutely no margin left!"

"At that time, those civilizations will definitely create terrible disasters in order to seize the channel!"

"So, you go and investigate first, and subsequent reinforcements will arrive to assist you soon!"

Tu Kulei ended the communication after speaking.

The people in the control center immediately turned their eyes to Luo Ningning.

Luo Ningning thought for a moment and said: "Le Gang and Baliwei, go to the enemy fleet to collect intelligence first!"

"All combat units stand by!"

"The rest of you continue with your work."

"Great Deity Xingyang above, we pious believers have nothing to fear!"

After listening to Luo Ningning's instructions, everyone immediately dispersed and went to attend to their own business.
