"... Human Empire, this is the first time a group of wanderers has encountered their exploration fleet. When I was very young, I learned from my father that this country that claimed to represent all mankind, a... a highly centralized monarchy empire, controlled by a so-called god king, and I can't imagine how the so-called immortal god king would rule under such tyranny. I have also been exposed to many human civilizations. Although they may not be friendly and civilized, there are also representatives of very progressive and civilized. I don't think the diverse development of human beings is a bad thing. Why do we have to force unify in one country?"
"And I saw some bad things from the eyes of those explorers, hatred, greed, and... fanaticism. They met me privately and promoted to me something like ‘human supremacy’ and ‘human beings are the best race in the galaxy, and excellent races should destroy and rule inferior races’ and so on. Oh my God, they were simply like a group of paranoid madmen, which made me creepy... And the imperial truth they preached made me even more confused. Although I admire this atheist spirit, the iron evidence of the fall of the spiritual race was placed there. The torn scar of the old home of the spiritual race was imprinted in the galaxy as evidence of a rampage of evil gods. This is all iron fact. Isn't this imperial truth telling lies with my eyes open?"
"The first requirement of science is to tell the facts. If even the facts placed in front of me can be ignored, the so-called truth is not scientific. This reminds me of a fairy tale my mother told me when she was a child. A man wanted to steal the bell from his neighbor's house, but was worried that the bell would make a sound and be heard by his neighbor, so he chose to cover his ears and steal... At least I think what the human emperor did is similar to this. Although as a leader, I can also understand his thoughts and original intentions of a kind lie. Subspace is indeed a dangerous and impermanent place, but countless historical lessons of mankind tell us that a country built on lies, no matter how indestructible it looks, will be self-defeating when the lies are revealed..."
"...I carefully asked my father about the human empire. My father told me that some things are not as simple as it seems. If humans do not unite, then the tragedy of Ulano will happen in many places. But I think unity does not mean being obedient to the people at the feet of an "emperor". There is no case of union between civilizations. Violence can only be a means and not a replacement for communication. I think my father is a little too dependent on violence. The impact of the tragedy in his hometown on him has been lingering. Moreover, he seems to have some contact with the empire. He has always explained that it is related to the relatives of our deceased mother. No matter what, we chose to expel those exploration fleets. I have reason to suspect that they have been engaged in some kind of espionage activities. They are spying on our intelligence..."
"... My father is critically ill, his life is about to end, and he is unwilling to undergo any life-extending surgery... I can't forget that moment, he held my hand tightly and told us that we don't need to be obsessed with revenge anymore. The pale Oak tyrant will soon usher in the judgment of it. He let us live a good life. I know that my half-brother is not there. My father must be sad. He is too rebellious, but what surprised me even more was that my father actually persuaded me to either lead the humans in the fleet to surrender to the empire, or persuade the wanderers to go to the more edge of the galaxy..."
"My father told me a lot, and seemed to want to tell me all the secrets in his heart before his death, including the hometown of our mother, and the existence like a monster, the sons of the human emperor, the so-called Primrose, he tried hard to tell me that the power of the human empire was absolutely irresistible, and the human emperor would not tolerate our existence. The Milky Way was about to burn, and no creature could be out of it... But I can't, I can't betray my duties, let alone those races that trust us. We are the most important battles for the wanderers now.
Race, if we leave, it is equivalent to sending them all under the butcher knife of the empire. When I was a child, I often ran to the gas gardens of the air shell tribe to play. They just smiled and created one bubble after another for me that could hold me up. After their mother star was destroyed by Oak, they just wanted to live. What mistakes did they make? Oriti's garden ship was the place where I first dated Seshsht. They just wanted to compile the most beautiful gardens and crafts. What mistakes did they make? The tribal discipline of the Alexei family, revenge and justice, this was what my father taught me..."
After reading this passage, Soshiyang remained silent. For some reason, he felt a little nervous...
Especially when he already knows the "end".
Sitting on the left, Villets gently placed his hands on his left hand and said softly:
"Why take it back and see it slowly..."
Soshiyang shook his head.
"If there are any important clues to be found, I have to go there again."
So he turned another page.
"... My father still couldn't hold on until he saw my child's birth. He kept muttering Ulano at the last moment, tears streaming down his eyes. This was the first time I saw him crying. I knew he regretted that he could never return to our hometown again. This made my heart stumble. I failed to realize my father's long-cherished wish and took him home... How long I want to kill that tyrant himself instead of handing it over to the ignorant human empire... My rebellious brother finally came back before my father left. He at least showed sadness. I don't want to blame him anymore. He also met two wives during the adventure outside. I know that he has this kind of personality, but it seems that he still loves them very much. My father saw at least a healthy grandson and granddaughter. He left us with a smile..."
"...After my father's funeral, my brother told me a lot, about the so-called empire, about the brutal transformation warriors, and the extinction and massacres, I cannot understand, if such a thing could represent humanity, then what would the future of humanity be like? A warlord from ancient Terra claimed that he was the Lord of mankind, so he was? Anyone who questioned would be massacred? So does his power come from the ideals he claimed, or his violence? His extinction killing of other human civilizations and races has already allowed me to see the truth about this empire, I
We will not join them. We are free people. Why do we put our necks in shackles? But my brother believes that the power of the wanderer cannot fight against this cruel and extinct regime. I admit this, but this does not affect my judgment. I will not leave. He can continue his travels because this is his lifestyle. I will also let the fleet avoid the tyrant's sight as much as possible. I want to protect my family and my settlements. Nothing is more important than living together in harmony. Seshshcht has been pregnant for a long time, and I will protect her."
"...The people who are in contact with my father have found me. They claim to be from the Eleventh Legion. I remember my younger brother introduced before that there were twenty such transformed people in the Empire, some of which were particularly bloodthirsty and cruel. However, the Eleventh Legion that was in contact with my father seemed different. My father seemed to have a deep friendship with their Primarch. On the one hand, they brought the Primarch's mourning, and on the other hand, they handed me some Primarch's voice information. It seemed that they wanted to continue their relationship with my father? I'm not sure I could trust them. After all, my father is the father, and I am me after all, but I have to see what the Primarch wants to say to me..."
Just when Soshyan couldn't wait to know what Xerxes and Dunan said, he found that there was no further information...
Dunan did not record the follow-up of these things.
