I Am The Swarm

Perhaps there wasn’t any conspiracy at all; it could simply be a gift from a higher civilization to a lower one.

After discovering a planet capable of nurturing life, they left a spaceship on its moon. When the inhabitants of the planet evolved to develop civilization, and eventually reached space to explore their satellite, they would discover the ship.

The technology on the spaceship would help this fledgling civilization advance into the cosmos at a much faster pace.

Could such civilizations really exist in the universe? Perhaps. Luo Wen couldn’t comprehend the ideology of higher civilizations—that was something beyond his current understanding.

Now, as one of the immortals, Luo Wen thought that perhaps tens of thousands of years later, when the Swarm had grown to become a top-tier force in the universe, he might have the leisure to do something similar.

Then, another thought struck him: tens of thousands of years ago, a higher civilization might have visited the Genesis Planet. Although he had been in hibernation at the time, the planet had been nurturing life.

Following this logic of “gift-giving,” could there be a “gift” on the Red Moon or Yellow Moon as well?

Luo Wen quickly dismissed the idea. The twin moons had long been the Swarm’s initial footholds in space exploration and had been developed for many years. The fungal carpet now covered every inch of their surfaces. If there were any unknown objects, they would have been discovered long ago.

Still, to be certain, Luo Wen directed the Swarm to begin a search on the twin moons. Simultaneously, the Swarm expanded its search to other terrestrial planets in the Genesis Star System.
