What was a high-dimensional battleship?
According to Miao, their so-called high-dimensional battleship wasn't a battleship in the traditional sense. Instead, it was an alternate dimension that existed in a high-dimensional space.
Lifeforms would travel through this alternate dimension. The entire process was to arrive at the high-dimensional battleship from any point in the universe, and then from the high-dimensional battleship to any point in the universe.
Of course, the prerequisite was that one had sufficient energy and specific universe coordinates. As existences that existed in the higher dimensions, they were basically indestructible and hard to destroy. The existence of such battleships could be said to have completely subverted the war model of most civilizations.
In the past battles, each planetary system and even each planet would require large-scale fleets and armies to protect them. It was because no matter how powerful the creatures or weapons were, they wouldn't be able to cross the Milky Way and come to any planet to fight.
Even subspace flight would have to abide by the gravitational constraints of many planetary systems. Moreover, even if subspace flight surpassed the speed of light, it was still too slow when compared to the distance at the scale of the universe.
It would only take one second for a high-dimensional battleship to travel from one end of the Milky Way to the other. It shortened the distance between the universes, shortening the space of the battlefield.
At the very beginning, the various civilizations treated the high-dimensional battleships as the most outstanding bombers. They would use the high-dimensional battleships to launch all sorts of kinetic energy missiles, high temperature missiles, electromagnetic missiles, biochemical weapons, and other weapons onto their opponents' planets. In the fleet.
At the beginning, this was very effective. The high-dimensional battleships created a state where their opponents could only take a beating and not retaliate.
However, if there were two civilizations that also possessed high-dimensional battleships, they would bombard each other. Intelligence battles became the most important thing. Where was the other party's command center, where were their leaders and upper echelons, and where were their armory?
At this moment, the various secret service units and spying weapons received more and more attention.
A portion of civilizations started to value the strength of individuals in order to achieve progress in spying and local conflicts.
This situation only underwent a qualitative change in a blitz battle. A powerful battle team, under the leadership of an invincible expert, made use of the high-dimensional battleships to invade several tens of planets within a few hours, defeating an entire civilization to the point where they were unable to recover from the setback.
This was the first time that extraordinary life forms had so completely changed the direction of a war, and it wasn't just a battle.
The outcome of this battle astonished countless people and also gave them great inspiration.
What determined the final outcome wasn't the quantity but the quality.
No matter how great their numbers were, when faced with the high mobility of the high-dimensional battleships, as long as they were unable to fend off the other party's trump card, they could only watch as their planets were burned into glass one after another.
For sufficiently powerful individuals, it would be useless even if they knew the coordinates. Ordinary attacks would be ineffective. Moreover, the other party could leave using a high-dimensional battleship at any moment. What was worse was that the other party could hide in any corner and wait for an attack.
This was undoubtedly a very terrifying thing.
Therefore, at the beginning of the chaotic battle, the high-dimensional battleships started to be abused even more. Countless terrifying experts from various civilizations went on a rampage in the starry sky, placing their wills above the heads of countless lives.
In the past, although they were powerful, their influence was limited due to the distance between the stars. They were far from being as useful as space battleships that could cover the sky and cover the sun.
However, right now, a civilization was facing off against another civilization, and both sides had high-dimensional battleships. If one civilization did not have the ability to go up against the other party's strongest expert, then it was inevitable that they would lose this war.
Gradually, the worship of individual strength reached an extreme, causing many civilizations to expend most of their resources to strengthen their individual combat strength.
Of course, the universe was vast and there were many civilizations. The situation was different in every place.
Some had the strongest experts ruling over the entire civilization, controlling high-dimensional battleships and depleting all the resources to serve themselves.
Some civilizations had the same average strength. They still had the political structure of the past, but they had expended a lot of resources to create the strongest super weapon. For example, a super robot would be the ultimate weapon.
There were also some civilizations that had powerful individual battle prowess but did not have high-dimensional battleships. They might be recruited by other civilizations that had high-dimensional battleships, forming a loose alliance.
There were also some super civilizations that were extremely wary of individual experts. They would either use means to control them or split up the high-dimensional battleships and super individuals, making it so that those individuals would not have any authority to control the high-dimensional battleships.
Regardless of whether it was the high-dimensional battleships or super individuals, they were both great killing weapons that could change history. They were also two things that could restrain and balance each other. Therefore, different civilizations would have different ways to deal with them.
As time passed by, it was hard to say how many years had passed. After countless civilizations were destroyed and countless star systems headed toward death, most civilizations gradually changed their battle methods.
Since the outcome of a battle would depend on the situation of the battle between the strongest trump cards, then why not stop the war and change it to a duel? After all, if the war were to continue, due to the existence of the high-dimensional battleships, the destruction would be too great.
There would be no need to spend several decades or even several centuries to kill each other. Instead, they would arrange for the strongest trump cards from both sides to have a duel, and the victor would be the victor of the war.
Of course, since the birth of this rule, it had been tested time and time again, and it had been modified countless times.
Until now, a massive organization that spanned across over 100 star systems and had over a million members — the Supreme Parliament — had become the protector and enforcer of this duel agreement.
The outcome of the war would be decided by the victory of the experts. The Star River Deities and Demons Ranking, which tallied up the battle prowess of the various great civilizations' powerful individuals, was also born.
The experts who were able to stand out among the several million races and get onto this ranking were naturally unparalleled.
The top 10,000 people on the Star River Deities and Demons Ranking would be able to get a seat as a member of the Supreme Parliament.
The top 100 people on the Star River Deities and Demons Ranking would become permanent members of the Supreme Parliament.
Without a doubt, these 100 people stood at the pinnacle of the entire universe, even surpassing the concept of gods and demons. Their every thought and will would span across countless galaxies, affecting the lives of hundreds, thousands, or even several tens of thousands of civilizations.
"The Star River Deities and Demons Ranking …" This concept slowly flashed past in Zuo Qingcang's mind. Just hearing about the background of the Supreme Parliament was enough to let him understand how heavy the weight of this ranking was.
Moreover, the people who were able to get into the top five of this ranking would be unimaginably strong.
"How is this ranking arranged? Is there a battle every year? "Zuo Qingcang asked.
