Shuer's tone was very calm, but the words were terrible. Since he came to this world, Shuer talked about related topics several times, and the shadow-seekers had been mentally prepared. However, when he heard this sentence, everyone's hearts still trembled heavily.

Everyone hopes that Sul is joking, but everyone is already familiar with Sul, until he will never talk nonsense on such issues. It seems that Pavatiga's prospects are not optimistic. No wonder Sul would rather take great risks than bring everyone to this world.

"Mr. Ryan, please continue." Shuer made a serious gesture to Ryan, "I'll talk about other things when you come to an end here."

"Ha, you can guess what happened next." Ryan said with a wry smile. "After the expedition failed and the expeditionary force was almost wiped out, our government finally understood that the opponent was not something we could fight against. It was only a matter of time before our home was swallowed by the source of disaster. However, waiting for death was by no means a habit of our Brown Star civilization. The planetary system's population could not make them die in vain. So, while constantly sending expedition troops to try to delay the expansion of the source of disaster, the entire Brown Star civilization was completely mobilized, concentrating all its forces, and starting to build giant spacecraft."

"Building a spacecraft of this city-level scale is still difficult for the Brown Star civilization. After all, one ship requires a lot of resources and occupies most of the industrial facilities, which is difficult to implement under normal circumstances. Fortunately, under the deadly threat, different parties and ethnic groups have united, and the entire civilization circle has been completely integrated. Everyone has abandoned unnecessary needs and desires, and let everything make way for the giant spacecraft."

"We spent three hundred years building two thousand city warships to carry out the exile operation. More should be built as planned. In theory, four thousand can barely meet the demand. Unfortunately, it is too late and the crisis is nearly twenty light years away. Although the edge of the source of disaster has not expanded to our Ginski, those invisible shadows have begun to appear on the edge of Ginski, causing many warriors to lose their lives inexplicably."

"Everyone knows that there is no time to prepare anymore and must leave immediately, otherwise everyone will be buried with their hometown. At the last moment of the record, everyone showed amazing unity, and many people took the initiative to give the opportunity to board the ship to more important candidates. Scholars, artists, skilled technicians, and young elites from all walks of life were gathered together to send them to the spaceship and left their hometown at the last moment. It is said that when the fleet left Gastrodia, almost everyone saw it. The overwhelming shadows surged onto the colonial planets in the galaxy. Then, the huge darkness swallowed the entire constellation, stars, planets, satellites, everything in Gastrodia. Without even sound, it was assimilated by the darkness and turned into nothingness."

"This is the most painful memory of that generation. They recorded this history and asked every generation of exiles to remember it firmly and never forget this terrifying disaster." Ryan smiled self-deprecatingly and shook his head and said, "In fact, it is impossible to forget it. Even if you really forget it, just look back and look at the scene behind it, and you will remember everything."

"After leaving home, the leaders of the fleet did initially intend to escape to a distant corner of the universe and rebuild our civilization, but the cruel facts gave us a heavy blow. Haha, this is simply delusion, because the source of disaster has not let us go."

"The source of disaster has been expanding, the scope of devouring is getting wider and wider, and the expansion is also getting faster and faster. In the first period, the speed of our spacecraft could indeed leave the source of disaster far away. After fifty years of sailing at full speed, the detector could no longer detect the mark reading of the source of disaster. Everyone naively believed that we had escaped from the disaster and could settle down again. In the days at that time, the fleet was bustling like a festival. After all, the exiles had not been so happy for decades."

"Fortunately, the leaders of the fleet were not lost. They maintained the most basic caution and did not launch a new landing plan. Instead, they chose to let everyone stay on the spaceship and wait and see the situation for the time being. Fortunately, their decision, because a month later, the reading of the sign of the source of disaster appeared again, and it caught up again. If the fleet had landed before, it would probably not have time to get everyone and equipment to board the ship again."

"So, the fleet immediately re-opened and began a long road of exile, and never stopped for a long time. As the source of disaster expanded faster and faster, the fleet could no longer shake it. No, to be precise, the distance between the two sides was even getting closer, and it would be caught up and killed by it at some point."

"Fortunately, our civilization has not been on the spot. Even when we are on the spacecraft, we are constantly studying deep-space navigation technology. All scientific research forces are almost concentrated on this point and have made many breakthrough progress. As a result, the current strange scene is formed. We are constantly updating technology and increasing the speed of the spacecraft. The expansion speed of the source of disaster is also accelerating. We dare not stop, it will not stop, the two sides are racing in the universe, and the battle situation remains subtle and stalemate."

"Before our generation of exiles gradually grew up, everyone finally realized the desperate fact that there is no hope in our path to exile. We finally understood that the expansion of the source of disaster will not end at all. It is devouring our universe in large chunks. We can escape now, but there is likely one day when we have no way to escape and can only let ourselves be swallowed by the source of disaster."

"That's why you ask me if there is a boundary in the void?" Shur said thoughtfully, "Indeed, as long as there is a boundary in the void, you will be caught up sooner or later."

"Yes, this is what we want to know." Ryan said in a stern voice. "In the era of the Brown Star civilization, scholars have been saying that the universe has no beginning and no end, boundlessness, and is an infinite space. Now we hope that their theory is correct, but everyone knows in their hearts that there is no concept of truly boundlessness in the world. No matter how vast the universe is, it will have an end. Even if we cannot understand the concept of end of the universe, it actually exists after all, which means that our escape is just a stagnant."

"It was an extremely dark day. Some people lost hope and chose to die silently. Some people gave up on themselves and numb themselves with medicine. Some people even went completely crazy and tried to destroy the spaceships and let everyone on the ship die together with them. Oh, you may not know that two thousand spaceships lost nearly one hundred in that ten years."

"Hmm?" Shul raised his eyebrows, "Is the spacecraft destroyed?"

"No, it will not be destroyed, but the power systems of those spacecraft were damaged and their speed dropped sharply." Ryan smiled dismally. "After they fell behind, we never received any news from them again, and we were unwilling to think about their fate."

The shadow-seekers were silent. In this pursuit of life and death, there was obviously only one result of slowing down, and there was no possibility of luck.

"So, the sleeping plan will be started." Shure gently tapped his thigh and said thinking, "It's not possible to start it. Sleeping can indeed prevent too many accidents. However, if you choose the watchman in this way, aren't you worried that the watchman will also be affected by despair, so what is uncontrollable to do?"

"So afraid, so the watchman must choose those who are willing to contribute to civilization, and only have the second level of authority." Ryan explained. "The first level of authority is jointly controlled by all watchmen of the Joint Fleet. The central computer of the spacecraft will evaluate the mental state of the watchman at any time. Once the spirit of the Watchman has entered the dangerous range, it will submit a report to the Joint Fleet. The Joint Fleet will jointly determine whether this person can continue to remain in office. Fortunately, I have reviewed the records. In the past thousand years, no watchman has been impeached, which shows that everyone's feelings for civilization are still difficult to give up."

"This is our story." Ryan looked back at the direction of the brown star again. Although he could not see anything across the outer wall, he sighed deeply. "For more than a thousand years, we have never left the threat of the source of disaster, nor have we found hope. We knew that when you appeared, we thought your world was our hope. No matter what price we had to pay, we would accept it as long as we escape from this nightmare, but, alas, it was also a waste in the end. I do not doubt your reason for rejecting us, because what you said makes sense, and it is indeed a delusion to enter another universe."

"I'm sorry." Shul could feel the deep sorrow and regret from Ryan and Nina, not despair. Their feelings have exceeded the scope of despair, leaving only the sorrow full of powerlessness. Even people like Shul were inevitably infected by their emotions and said slightly depressed, "We really can't help. To be honest, if possible, I really want to bring Delia back, but we can't even do such a simple thing."

"Mr. Shuer, you don't need to be sorry. It's not your fault." The two old men began to comfort the shadow chasers, "At least the spark of our civilization is still there. As long as people are still alive, there is still hope. Compared to the civilization you mentioned just now, we are still lucky."

"Ha, indeed, this kind of escape life is probably not that safe." Shuer shook his head and said, "The people in the dream mentioned that in the decades, several floating cities have lost contact. They said they were captured by mechanical bodies, but I don't think it's that simple."

"Oh, you guessed it right. Although we have been maintaining the normal operation of the spacecraft, accidents are always inevitable. Every once in a while, one or two spacecrafts cannot continue sailing. If you are lucky, you will find problems during our rest period and you can transfer the passengers on the spacecraft to other spacecraft in time. But if you are not lucky and have problems on the way to escape, you can only watch them disappear into the depths of the universe." Ryan sighed, "So we envy your world, you can live a stable life and don't need to escape all day long like us."
