Chapter 91: Chapter 91 Invasion War

Under the threat of annihilation, each civilization releases sincere goodwill in order to survive.

Earth Civilization indeed felt the sincerity of the Sea Spirit Civilization, offering their second-level civilization core Annihilation Technology as a bargaining condition, clearly showing their desire to flee the Galaxy Nebula and avoid the crisis of the giant nebula.

However, Earth Civilization did not readily agree to the demands of the Sea Spirit Civilization.

After all, the coexistence of two civilizations is not as simple as 1+1, there are many considerations, and Earth Civilization needed to carefully deliberate before reaching a decision, hence they promised to respond in three days.

Subsequently, some important figures of Earth Civilization held a discussion meeting.

It should be noted that during Earth’s years of wandering in the Universe, the composition of Earth Civilization had undergone significant changes, with control over the Planet Engines equating to control over discourse, so over a considerably long period of time, the several Underground Cities that actually controlled the Planet Engines broke away from the constraints between nations and represented Earth Civilization as independent councilors, transitioning from a national union system (United Nations) to a city co-op system.

Globally, there are over ten thousand Planet Engines, actually controlled by one thousand and one Underground Cities.

Representatives of these one thousand and one Underground Cities held a video conference to discuss, and after intense discussions reviewing every possible detail, Earth Civilization ultimately decided to refuse the conditions of the Sea Spirit Civilization.

It’s not that Earth Civilization did not want to obtain Annihilation Technology, if they could trade it for an upgrade in the core propulsion technology of the Planet Engines, they would be happy to do so, but that would be under the condition that the cost was not too great; currently, Sea Spirit Civilization demands Earth as a rental to escape the Galaxy Nebula.

At first glance, it doesn’t seem like much of a risk.

However, the hidden consequences are far too many.

For starters, the population of Sea Spirit Civilization is over forty billion, over forty times the current population of Earth Civilization, and such a massive number cannot be accommodated simply by the ocean area of Earth, and would definitely cause huge impacts and destruction to Earth Ocean’s ecological environment.

Secondly, without sufficient understanding of Sea Spirit Civilization, rashly allowing a population that exceeds Earth Civilization’s by over forty times into Earth undoubtfully welcomes trouble inside, even if Sea Spirit Civilization behaves during the escape, what about after escaping the Galaxy Nebula?

Once the crisis is over, the next issue would be a struggle for living space.

At that time, Earth Civilization might have to compete with Sea Spirit Civilization over the ownership of Earth.

Moreover, with a population of forty billion, and as a second-level civilization with more advanced weapon and energy technologies than Earth Civilization, even if Earth Civilization catches up with Sea Spirit Civilization with the help of their data, facing such a huge difference in population, the situation of Earth Civilization remains extremely perilous.

Furthermore, Earth’s resources are not unlimited but finite.

Since entering the era of wandering, Earth’s surface is no longer suitable for living or growing food, most human food is produced in factories and from capturing marine life, if Sea Spirit Civilization is allowed into Earth to occupy the oceans, it would mean handing over such a vast resource to Sea Spirit Civilization. With their huge population, the species in Earth Ocean might not even be enough for their consumption, leading to even more scarcity of food for humans, which might even cause conflicts.

Not to mention besides resources, there are definitely cultural and habitual differences between the two civilizations.

If conflicts arise between the two civilizations during the escape process and the conflict becomes uncontrollable, the ultimate outcome might either be mutual destruction or a pyrrhic victory that barely survives under extremely harsh conditions.

Therefore, after considering all possibilities, Earth Civilization ultimately made the decision to refuse.

......

When Sea Spirit Civilization received the refusal from Earth Civilization.

At first, they couldn’t believe it, then shock, and finally anger ensued!

Sea Spirit Civilization, as a grand second-level civilization with far superior technological strength than Earth Civilization, had lowered themselves in order to escape the Galaxy Nebula, showing their sincerity, yet Earth Civilization refused, which was essentially an insult to Sea Spirit Civilization!

Consequently, the emotions among the radical faction in Sea Spirit Society surged, inciting a wave in Sea Spirit Society to conquer the Wandering Planet!

Influenced by public opinion, and with no other options, Sea Spirit Civilization then approved a decision to launch an aggressive attack.

After all, peaceful methods had been tried, and now there truly was only the option to initiate military conflict left, even if it would cause damage, but that was still far better than hoping to escape the Galaxy Nebula in a cosmic spaceship.

Otherwise, if they let the Wandering Planet leave the Sea Spirit Star System, that opportunity would be missed forever.

After the decision was approved, the radical faction in Sea Spirit Civilization took charge of leading the air force troops to strategically strike Earth Civilization and occupy Earth.

In order to occupy Earth in the swiftest manner, Sea Spirit Civilization dispatched ten elite cosmic fleets formed over the years, each fleet consisting of thirty thousand soldiers equipped with the most advanced weapons of Sea Spirit Civilization, and majestically set out from the Space Port.

At the same time.

Earth Civilization, through astronomical telescopes, also observed the movements of Sea Spirit Civilization.

Earth Civilization was not surprised; they had already considered the high possibility of an invasion war by Sea Spirit Civilization before making that decision.

However, they didn’t have many choices, only to unite all the forces of Earth Civilization to resist the invasion of Sea Spirit Civilization after the refusal.

Fortunately, being the indigenous life forms of Earth, they had a better understanding of Earth, and considering that the opposing side were marine beings who must enter the water to survive.

With these geographical advantages, Earth Civilization held a certain edge.

It was precisely because of this that Earth Civilization believed they might be able to withstand the attack of Sea Spirit Civilization; without Earth as a natural geographical advantage, they would never be able to contend with a second-level civilization.

Immediately, Earth Civilization also made a decision, ordering the air force that had been on standby to strike.

Their first line of defense was set up outside the space station; they had to stop Sea Spirit Civilization’s fleet outside the space station, otherwise the painstakingly constructed space station would be destroyed.

The eleven cosmic battleships were lined up in a row, guarding outside the space station.

Although Earth Civilization was only a First-level Civilization, having wandered in the Wandering Universe for many years, they were well aware of the myriad dangers in space, so they continuously cultivated their own cosmic fleet with massive resources.

In the era of the Wandering Universe, even if they disbanded the army, they needed to maintain the air force, which was the result of many years of experience.

Thus, both civilizations were ready to erupt, and a war about survival and race was about to commence!
