It had been a month since the battle where the army of biological civilizations suddenly invaded the Federation's territory.
Today, Lin Yu followed the cosmic currents and finally returned to the Federation.
There was no need to mention how unbearable this month was. There was no food to eat, no water to drink, and no one to talk to.
Even at Lin Yu's current level, it was fine to not eat, drink, or sleep for a few months, but …
To Lin Yu, eating and drinking was not because he was hungry or thirsty, but because he liked to taste delicious food!
As for those biological civilizations.
A month ago, after Ipnos was captured and sent to the Tucson Supercluster through the black passage, the army of biological civilizations had stopped attacking.
They were really …
They did not dare!
After all, all biological civilizations knew that Ipnos was Garen's second-in-command, and also Garen's sworn brother, and the last surviving sworn brother.
If something happened to Ipnos, Garen would probably go crazy.
At that time, not to mention the Alliance, even their own biological civilizations and even the entire universe would be in trouble.
Therefore, after learning that Ipnos had been captured by the Federation, all the races did not dare to move. They even monitored each other to ensure that no one was hot-headed enough to provoke the Federation.
They could only retreat back to the Labal Supercluster and immediately report the matter to Garen.
On this day, Garen did not pass through the black passage, nor did he pass through the cosmic currents. He directly blasted a hole in the universe's barrier and came directly to where Lin Fan was.
After all, it was already in the form of a black cavity creature and could easily survive in the black cavity space.
Therefore, to Garen, there was no need for the black passage or anything.
Want to go somewhere in the universe?
This was very simple. First, blast a hole in the universe's barrier and enter the black cavity, then roam along the Azure Dragon Universe until he reached the corresponding position, then smash the barrier again and finally enter.
In this way, the Federation could not provide an effective warning at all, and there was no way to stop it.
They could only watch Garen descend and then send the news to the headquarters according to Garen's instructions.
In the end …
Lin Fan decided to come here personally to meet Garen and have a chat.
This was the first time Lin Fan met Garen face to face.
To be honest, when facing Garen, even Lin Fan felt a heavy sense of oppression.
If it were Artemis or Tarovis, they would probably be trembling under Garen's pressure and would not be able to continue the conversation.
"Lin Fan, right? I've heard about you from Lin Hong and Lin Aotian. Tell me, what are your conditions?"
"I've also heard about you from them. The condition is very simple. I need a large amount of dark energy crystals!"
He nodded. Since Garen wanted to be straightforward, he naturally had no objections.
In fact, Lin Fan himself was very annoyed that he couldn't describe the overall way of talking.
"I don't have a lot of these things. I only have four dark energy sources from the Sun River Empire, and 40 of them per year!"
"Then what's with the Sun River Empire's huge dark energy reserve? Don't tell me it has nothing to do with you!"
"Of course it has something to do with me. Although I don't have many dark energy crystals, we have the Black Cavity Crystal, a special crystal that is almost completely composed of Black Cavity Particles. As for how the Sun River Empire turned the Black Cavity Crystal into dark energy crystals, I don't know, and I don't need to know!"
Garen didn't hide anything. At his height, he disdained to hide and lie.
That arrogant look on his face seemed to be saying, "That's right.
Even if I tell you, what can you do?
However, after Lin Fan got the answer, he was happy.
A special crystal that was almost completely composed of Black Cavity Particles?
If there really was such a thing, the Black Cavity Particles contained in it would probably be hundreds of times more than the dark energy crystals, right?
Or rather, compared to the dark energy crystals, this thing was more suitable for him and Lin Yu to use.
As for Garen saying that he didn't know how the Sun River Empire turned the Black Cavity Crystal into dark energy crystals, this was quite normal.
After all, biological civilizations didn't have technology. All abilities were obtained through evolution.
To put it more simply, the advancement of technological civilizations relied on technological progress, while biological civilizations relied on their own evolution.
Therefore, without any technological means, they naturally couldn't extract the Black Cavity Particles and create dark energy crystals with dark energy.
"How many Black Cavity Crystals can you give me?"
"I can't give it to you, only Ipnos can!"
"What do you mean?"
"It's very simple. I don't have the ability to obtain the Black Cavity Crystal. Only Ipnos with the space attribute can. I can let it stay with you and let you mine the Black Cavity Crystal for a year!"
Garen still didn't hide anything and didn't bother to lie.
"In that case, let Ipnos stay here and mine the Black Cavity Crystal for us for a year. When the year is over, I'll let it go, how about that?"
"One year … Okay, but I also have a condition …"
-----
No one knew what Lin Fan and Garen talked about in the end that day, only one thing was known …
Now Ipnos had become a tool of the Federation!
At first, it was unwilling.
But when Garen gave it an order through the Spiritual Network, even if it had any complaints, Ipnos had to comply.
Therefore, the second-in-command of a biological civilization had completely become an absentee worker, an interstellar absentee worker!
Ten months later …
After Lin Fan had a sufficient supply of Black Cavity Crystals, he had been trying to break through and enter the new and unknown territory.
However, even so, it took him a full ten months to finally complete the transformation of all the forms of energy in his body. During this process, even his source of life had undergone some changes.
Of course, this was not a bad change. On the contrary, it was a very beneficial change, allowing him to transform the forms of energy faster and faster.
Standing in the starry sky, just like Ipnos, Lin Fan directly tore open the void with his hand.
However, unlike Ipnos, the opening that Lin Fan tore open did not lead to a mining area located in the Black Cavity Fault. Instead, it was more like Garen, directly opening a hole in the barrier of the universe.
This was already the last step, and it was also the most dangerous step.
Completely exposing himself to the Black Cavity Space, using the special environment of the Black Cavity Space to stimulate himself to complete the final stage of transformation, until the level of life was once again …
Transition!
