Chapter 49: The Mission of the Lost Empire
"Fifty years."
While the large Dunkarm tribe was discussing what this "fifty year" was, the same voice emerged within the Lost Empire of the "Watchers".
It seemed that some of them had also entered the "virtual realm" and heard the same voice.
"...My friend, are you sure we really want to do this? Judging from the information recorded on that psychic file, the existences inside the 'Void Realm' may not be 'gods'..." Someone is trying
Advise your friends.
"I understand." The person being advised stood up and looked calmly at the person who spoke before.
"We just need a belief to unite everyone's spiritual strength. God can exist or not. He is just a stepping stone on our way forward. If necessary, we can also change it." He is talking.
He is the high priest in "Watchmen" and also a leader.
Now he seems to have had some arguments with his friends, and now they are patiently persuading each other.
"Then you still..." The exhorter's voice was a little angry, and he couldn't understand why the high priest did this.
However, the high priest suddenly smiled and said in an erratic voice:
"We have stayed at this stage for too long and need to find a way to go further... Those Zeluo people have long completed the feat of becoming saints, but we still need to endure the suffering caused by the body... They can do it
Yeah, why can’t we do it?”
"After trading with those things in the 'Void Realm', the spiritual potential of all of us has made a qualitative leap. Why not continue to use the 'Void Realm'? As long as we reach another world before the end of time, then'
The virtual realm is just a place responsible for providing energy..."
The exhorter was silent for a while before continuing:
"...Our technology is enough to satisfy everyone's desires, and progress may not seem so important. We have been silent in this galaxy for so long, why do we still want to take risks and do such dangerous things? I don't understand
.”
The high priest shrugged, with a special expression on his face: "It is precisely because of this that I am the high priest; and you have become the target of our faith, our prophet, dear Zaklan."
After hearing these words, the exhorterer named Zaklan fell silent again, with a look of disappointment in his eyes.
"...So my status as a 'prophet' will be used as a 'great excuse' again? Just like it was before we fell?"
"Of course not, Prophet." The high priest said with a smile on his face, "You are the spokesperson of 'God', every word you say is an oracle, and all believers will fight for you. This is not an 'excuse'
.”
"...Then I'm leaving. After leaving this star field full of psychic energy, my lifespan will return to normal. I will find a place to spend the rest of my life. As for the external reasons, you can find any one. Maybe some time later
In a few decades, another prophet will be 'born'?"
"Oh... Prophet, if you leave like this, countless of your followers will feel lost?"
Zaklan shook his head and replied with a joyless expression: "I am just a machine used to issue tasks. As for believers? I have never had any believers, all I have is a group of poor people who believe in the wrong god."
After saying that, he left here without looking back.
The high priest's expression gradually returned to calm after Zaclan left, and the hall was filled with silence.
After a while, the people of "Watcher" learned the news that "the prophet left to find the "chosen people"", and then they fell into deep sorrow, as if they had lost a spiritual belief.
With the help of this emotion that infected people's hearts and the powerful help obtained from the 'Void Realm', the "Watcher" entered a brief period of tranquility.
Maybe not long after, they will announce their return to the world.
The earth rotates, and the screen shifts to the territory of "Mechanical Lost Empire".
The scientific research division that was currently studying the "Builders" brought Li Wenyuan a piece of news:
[The seventh analysis of the remains of those nanorobots found that we need to control a star gate from the 'Gate Builder' to continue the next step of research]
"The star gate of the 'Gate Builder'?" Looking at this message, Li Wenyuan began to browse through the notes in the star map, trying to see if any galaxy had what he needed.
The result was also normal, he did not find the relevant galaxy.
There are many places with star gates, but they are all built manually by interstellar civilizations themselves. Judging from the star map, no one has discovered a special star gate so far.
"It's a bit difficult now..." If there are specific coordinates, he can go directly there, but if he wants to find a special star gate that has not yet been discovered in this vast galaxy, he may find it until his death.
Less than.
But then, he remembered a piece of information he had learned not long ago.
That is to say, the Lost Empire is not completely cut off from the interstellar connection.
Some lost empires are very keen on issuing tasks to other young civilizations, and then giving generous rewards to these young civilizations who complete the tasks.
For example... "Observer".
Li Wenyuan once thought that the Lost Empire were all taciturn guys who would get into trouble whenever they disagreed and look at people through their nostrils.
But "Observer" seems to be a more familiar lost empire, and it is also the lost empire that has the most connections with other civilizations in the galaxy.
They issue a mission all year round: to collect strange creatures in the galaxy.
Young civilizations can collect a certain number of strange creatures and "observers" in exchange for rewards. Some civilizations even gave their own races to "observers" as "strange creatures" and successfully received a sum of money for the civilization.
Talk about a lot of resources.
Some of these civilizations became the favored civilizations of the "Observer" because they completed many tasks, and were directly given a small fleet of the Lost Empire fleet as a reward.
After this reward was exposed, it also attracted the jealousy of more civilizations, so "collecting strange creatures in the galaxy from time to time" has become a required course for every civilization.
Some civilizations have even formed special adventurer organizations to race against time with other civilizations.
After all, "Watchers" don't want duplicate strange creatures, they just want new strange creatures.
"Speaking of which, I seem to be in a lost empire now... It will be difficult for me to find the star gate of this 'Gate Builder' on my own, but if I leave it to other civilizations, maybe there will be progress soon..."
After roughly comparing the rewards of "Observer" and finding that they were basically no burden to him now, Li Wenyuan decided to "find some kind of special ancient star gate" as a task and release it to the entire galaxy until he found it.
As a result, those civilizations who were always paying attention to the news of the lost empire suddenly received a message from the "Guardian".
"Huh? Why is there a new one...!!!"
"Big deal! The Guardians have released missions! They seem to be the third Lost Empire to issue missions after the Observers and Farstriders!"
"Good thing! Instead of competing with those guys who are already very skilled at licking, we should hurry up and make something famous here at the 'Guardian'!"
"Look, what kind of mission is it?"
…
Other civilizations were enthusiastically discussing the new tasks issued by the Guardians, but only Corebo looked very sad.
"...I thought we were special...and sure enough it was because we didn't leave a deep impression on the guardians!" Braining wiped away his tears and called over the furry bear who looked incomprehensible.
"Come and discuss how we can quickly, perfectly and impressively complete the tasks issued by the 'Guardians'..."
Chapter completed!
