The Destination of All Stars

The Galactic Federation is the home of mankind six thousand years after leaving the earth. Five thousand colonial planets are scattered across the galaxy, with trillions of people speaking the same language, enjoying the endless energy brought by nuclear fusion and the abundant materials produced by fully automated production. Here, no one will go hungry or cold, and no one will be unable to study because of poverty. The Federal General Hospital has 300,000 beds, the Federal Academy gathers the smartest minds in the galaxy, and the Secret Tower watches everything in the dark. This is a seemingly perfect era. But perfection is only superficial. The rift between the core planet and the peripheral planet has never healed. Those core worlds with early development and strong technology have the largest scientific research quotas and the best educational resources; while those mining planets located on the edge of the galaxy, although their lives are worry-free, are always striving for "development opportunities." Four hundred and seventy-two marginal planets, four hundred and seventy-two unwilling voices. Three major alien civilizations are surrounding the Milky Way. The silent Sera knows something but never speaks, the curious Monarch keeps testing the boundaries of human beings, and the weak Ilian struggles to survive in a desperate situation. Under the peace, there is an undercurrent. And a greater crisis is approaching - a black hole with an undetectable source is approaching from outside the Milky Way at a speed of two thousand kilometers per second. Three hundred years later, it will reach the center of the Milky Way, and all human-inhabited planets will be torn apart. Will the Union fall apart, or unite? No one knows the answer. But everyone must make a choice.
