Elder Konpeito had probably never considered the possibility of dispersing his people.
He might have thought about similar possibilities in the past, but he was more afraid of the chance that the Candy House's coordinates would be exposed.
Every time there was even the slightest possibility of this, he would take his family and flee immediately.
But this time, the other party had still followed the vine to find the melon, finding their location through the coordinates of a higher dimension.
And this time, the human was different from the previous Welt Yang, from the previous Herrscher of Reason. This time, the human was someone Elder Konpeito couldn't understand, and even his temperament was exceptionally... out of place and strange.
But Elder Konpeito couldn't put his finger on what this strange feeling was. Most of his attention was shocked by Noldrei's promise.
"But, if you humans are discovered by the Sky People's scout stars, your civilization will also be destroyed. Even so, is it okay to expose yourselves?"
Elder Konpeito seemed to have seen too many of these destructive scenes. He truthfully stated his worries.
"I remember I once discussed the same thing with the First Herrscher among you humans. He didn't come up with a good solution at the time either."
The "Sky People" Elder Konpeito spoke of used meteorites and other things as camouflage scouts.
Then, when they found a suitable target, they would report back to their home planet, and then a large force would be arranged to come and harvest the civilization.
In short, it was a three-step process of discovery, colonization, and destruction.
This made Noldrei very confused. He asked, "Are the 'Sky People' a higher-level civilization?"
Elder Konpeito pondered for a moment and said, "We are not sure, but looking at their technological achievements... yes."
Noldrei asked with a puzzled look, "Since their technology is so advanced, why do they still need to plunder low-level civilizations? It's like you need neutron star-level energy, and then they see a planet full of primitive people planting rice, and they excitedly report to headquarters that there is a lot of rice here. Then they arrange a large force to consume huge amounts of energy to cross over, just to plunder the rice on that planet. Those 'Sky People' can't be trying to write off their internal bad debts, can they?"
"If I were to plunder, I would most likely plunder the local intelligent life. Then I would arrange a better life for you and use lower-level energy to nurture your wisdom for my own use. There's no need to arrange a large force to come and eliminate you."
"The energy consumed to eliminate you would be more than the energy plundered from you. Unless, the purpose of these guys is not to plunder at all, but simply for the final destruction."
This question was a bit beyond Elder Konpeito's scope. He had never carefully considered the root cause of the "Sky People's" actions, nor had he considered what such a powerful civilization would want to plunder.
Just the so-called energy from a large number of asymmetrical warp jumps would be enough for these "Sky People" to create a better planet.
The reason of plundering for profit simply couldn't be put on the table.
"And, exploiting human wisdom doesn't make sense either... At that level of civilization, I can completely control the reproduction of my own civilization's population and create more new life that meets the needs of my civilization."
"Why would I plunder the population of other places? Even if they were slaves, they wouldn't be as excellent as the slaves we create ourselves."
Noldrei's face was filled with confusion. He suspected that there was something seriously wrong with this universe.
In his era, humanity's production capacity surpassed everything, and there was no need for plunder. There was even a trend of diversified energy sources. Even if they wasted it by blowing up star systems, it was still inexhaustible.
In such a state of energy freedom, how could a high-level civilization engage in plunder?
'Could it be that the aliens here are actually idiots?'
Noldrei fell into deep thought and began to doubt the IQ of the universe's people in this world.
The feeling it gave him was as scalp-numbing as a legendary cosmic civilization still using gold as a hard currency.
The energy of the Sea of Quanta was like this, and the energy of the Imaginary Tree was also like this. They were both inexhaustible.
'What would I plunder from ants? Could it be for my civilization's children's biology class? To show them the life of an ant dynasty and conduct cosmic civilization exploration teaching?'
'That's completely unnecessary. Similar memories can be directly copied. Why use such a time-wasting live-class method?'
Unable to figure it out, Noldrei decided to give up thinking about the Sky People of this world.
Maybe these "Sky People" were really just crazy and wanted to destroy so-called civilizations for the sake of it?
Elder Konpeito also fell into deep thought. He was also thinking about the questions Noldrei had asked.
Noldrei's reasons were very convincing and completely in line with the needs of human civilization.
Finally, Elder Konpeito came to a chilling reason and asked, "Is it possible that those 'Sky People,' just like human children, are just playing around for fun?"
Don't say it, Noldrei thought Elder Konpeito's reason was quite plausible. At least it could be speculated that the "Sky People" also had a need for "pleasure through means such as dismantling and destruction."
"Forget it, maybe aliens have other needs..."
Noldrei no longer considered the reasons for the so-called Sky People's actions.
"Elder Konpeito, do you want to consider it with your people? Forming a new symbiotic civilization with us. We will form a new human civilization, and you can carefully consider the future direction of your civilization. I believe that your joining will definitely bring us more and more useful changes."
Noldrei knew the operating principles of the Cocoon of Finality well. Similarly, he could also integrate more civilizations into the Earth civilization through means such as mergers.
This way, the achievements of other civilizations would be judged by the Cocoon of Finality as the achievements of human civilization, and the Cocoon of Finality could then explode with more useful things.
Maybe the Cocoon of Finality could really create a high-dimensional Herrscher? But Noldrei estimated that it didn't have this ability. It would most likely be stuck at its own ability limit.
With the precedent of the Previous Era, Noldrei would always convert the results exploded by the Cocoon of Finality into the organizational power of the civilization in the shortest possible time.
For example, he would often use the Previous Era's Herrscher of Corruption, Higokumaru, to "farm gold coins," and from time to time, he would arrange for Higokumaru to create a more intelligent AI system.
Now, Higokumaru often complains to the internal organization of Academy City about the Board Chairman's exploitation of her.
And the Candy House civilization in front of him was the same. Noldrei was very much looking forward to these people being able to create more new civilization powers that could be absorbed by the Cocoon of Finality.
