"Your civilization underwent the first trial and sadly failed. The Faya Civilization crushed your home star, but their original intention wasn’t to destroy the civilization they had sown. Rather, they aimed to expose the harshness of the cosmic environment and initiate a redemption equation."
"Redemption?" Yang Ming asked. "How can redemption be achieved?"
"It is what you referred to as a ’make-up exam.’"
The Patroller laughed,
"The flow of time within the civilization greenhouse is arbitrarily controlled by the Faya Civilization. As long as they maintain the conservation of matter and energy in the area, it won’t impact the Pan-Galaxy material world too much.
"When a lower-level civilization is destroyed in the greenhouse, they adjust the time, allowing that lower-level civilization to return to a state ready for assessment.
"Your home star still exists, but your consciousness is no longer there, and your nurturer won’t remember your existence as a life form.
"From my observations, your consciousness seems to have been randomly selected — this selection ensures the fairness of the civilization trial — and then sent to a certain temporal point of the main civilization of the Milky Way.
"In this redemption system, you are known as a Pioneer. The redemption system allows you to use necessary means to help your home star’s civilization better pass the trial and join the main civilization of the Milky Way, thus supplementing and nourishing the Galaxy’s main civilization.
"Now, you should start changing the database of ’Abyss’ — oh no, I should say, a few of you Pioneers have already started changing the database of ’Abyss.’
"I must remind you that the make-up exam might not necessarily be in thirty years’ time, but when your home star appears, it will definitely be at the initial opening time of ’Abyss.’
"As long as certain conditions are met, the make-up examination could start at any time.
"The first assessment took place with civilizations individually, but under the redemption system, usually, three to five lower-level civilizations participate together in an assessment, still using the method of ’Abyss’."
Yang Ming furrowed his brow in thought.
The Patroller provided detailed intelligence, which made him feel this trip was worthwhile.
The Earth civilization failed its first trial and was directly destroyed by the Faya Civilization, but it was only a warning. The purpose of the Faya Civilization was to continuously add human lower-level civilizations to the Milky Way’s main body, promoting the development of the Galaxy’s main civilization.
Now the second trial was underway, and he was part of this trial, representing Earth to the Milky Way.
"Is my mission to inform my home star about the real existence of the Milky Way?"
"Normally, Pioneers cannot play a major role. You are a mechanism within the redemption system to transmit information to your home star, as you are aware of your homeworld and have sufficient time to understand the Galactic civilization," the Patroller said smilingly. "Don’t feel pressured by this; the first trial was deliberately kept secret by the Faya Civilization regarding the consequences of the lower civilizations’ failures."
Yang Ming twitched his lips.
This high-dimensional civilization was too...
Dog, an Earth species.
The Patroller said softly,
"You should not be discouraged by this. Only when reaching a level 1.5 civilization within the greenhouse is there a fifty percent chance of passing the first trial. Most civilizations that touch the greenhouse wall are between levels 0.9 and 1.2, and ninety percent of the lower civilizations fail in the first trial.
"However, once reaching a level 0.9 civilization in the second trial, there’s a sixty percent chance of passing the assessment with high probability.
"Of course, if you fail to pass the assessment this time, it will be true destruction... The Faya Civilization is very proud. Although they are still just starting out compared to our host civilization, they inherently do not allow the continued existence of failures."
Yang Ming was quite puzzled, "But my home civilization is only at level 0.75!"
The Patroller reacted with surprise, "Did you deliberately touch the greenhouse wall? Don’t overlook the small difference of 0.1. Without reaching level 0.9, it’s almost impossible to pass the second assessment."
Yang Ming blinked; something suddenly dawned on him.
A certain country’s traveler program!
That thing has already flown out over twenty billion kilometers, which is precisely 0.0023 light-years, just fitting the minimum diameter of the greenhouse wall.
Yang Ming opened his mouth, feeling somewhat parched.
"What does the second assessment test involve?"
"The Faya’s game," said the Patroller methodically.
"It still uses data from the Pan-Galaxy to create virtual worlds. Three to five civilizations that have activated the redemption system will have their time flow speeds adjusted, thereby being sent to the same starting point, the same starting line, and all entering the virtual world simultaneously.
"Civilizations form alliances and continually battle to earn some points for rankings. After a certain point, the lowest-ranked one or two lower civilizations will be directly eliminated.
"An irreparable spacetime destruction."
