"...You have been digging for so long and you just found this thing?"

Li Wenyuan looked at the earth that had been dug around with a suspicious expression.

But Cowper and the professor nodded happily, holding the drawings in their hands and saying:

"Yes, we confirmed that this is indeed an ancient site, not a relic."

"Based on the restoration, we believe that this is actually some kind of monumental building. And analysis of the materials from these sites shows that most of this memorial building is composed of the remains of a kind of creature."

"..." Li Wenyuan didn't know how to answer the question for a while, because this "site" covers an astonishing area of ​​more than 600,000 square kilometers and can be easily seen with the naked eye from space.

And it was actually built with the remains of a certain creature. How old was this creature in its lifetime?

What was most difficult for him to understand was that a building covering such a huge area was actually used as a memorial?

"Also, we found an encrypted document from this ancient ruins and have uploaded it to the database."

Cowper informed the guardians of the last information unearthed from this ancient ruins, and then quickly headed to the next ruins to be excavated with the professor.

The excavation of this site is too plain, there are no thrilling mechanisms, and there are no magical and different phenomena. It has no characteristics except that it is large, and it is not interesting to dig at all.

For the two people who were already accustomed to excitement, it was simply the same thing and they couldn't wait to start new excavation work as soon as possible.

Li Wenyuan, who was just about to ask if he needed a vacation, saw their impatient looks and shook his head, focusing on the encrypted document.

The encryption of this document was not cumbersome. He easily read the contents and quickly discovered that it was introducing the origin of this memorial building.

[Year 25 of the Ascension Era]

[We have observed a giant space creature approaching the solar system]

[Due to its extremely bright body, we initially thought it was a coming star]

[However, based on the gravitational anomaly caused by it, we found that its actual size is approximately between Mars and the Earth, and will not be too large]

[Why can such a creature emit light that is more dazzling than a star? 】

[So before it came close to the solar gravity well, we sent people to conduct an all-round survey of it]

[This seems to be a space creature that feeds on stellar matter. Its higher body density and unknown internal organs allow it to parasitize on the surface of stars and directly grab stellar matter without any influence]

[It always converts stellar matter into brighter light and releases it outwards. We speculate that its behavior is to attract possible similar species]

[According to its habit of swallowing stellar matter, we named it "Star Eater"]

[This Star Eater came straight to the sun, so we killed it halfway to prevent it from having an impact on the solar system]

[And part of its remains were collected by us and built into such a memorial building to commemorate our first confirmation that the universe is not alone]

The introduction ended here, and Li Wenyuan understood that this huge building is really just a memorial building.

"But it can be regarded as understanding a little bit about mankind's past. 'Creatures that feed on stars'? It's quite interesting. So how many such curious cosmic creatures are there in this galaxy?"

"... Let's continue looking for human relics first. It would be nice if each relic could tell something about the past. Let me see if the next galaxy is... the Botu galaxy?"

…………

"——Botu Galaxy?" When Braining heard the name, he just raised his head and glanced at the men beside him, and once again changed back to his lazy look.

"I said I don't like listening to these useless things. I have already sent the last guy to look at the gate. Do I have to send you to mine to understand what it means to 'guess the boss's mind'?"

The subordinate was also frightened, but even so, he still tried his best to convey the message to the boss in front of him:

"The observatory has confirmed that the culprit that caused the star to extinguish was a 'Star Eater'. According to predictions, its next stop is the Botu Galaxy, and this galaxy... is near the Lost Empire of the 'Guardian'."

"..." After hearing the keyword, Braining straightened up immediately, changed his previous lazy look, and looked at this subordinate with a serious face.

"This is a major event worthy of attention. You did a good job! I announce that after today, the total time you need to work for the company for free will be shortened to 5 years to reward you for your bravery!"

The subordinate was immediately surprised and happy, and thanked Branin repeatedly for his cultivation.

Braining waved his hand to let him leave and paced back and forth in the entertainment room.

"...The observation station closest to the 'Guardian' right now is mine. Although other civilizations have established observation stations nearby, they have not been completed yet. This is an excellent publicity opportunity."

"The Lost Empire will not allow threats to exist around it. If the scene of the 'Guardians' destroying the Star-eating Insects can be broadcast exclusively, it will definitely boost the popularity of the company and promote the 'Guardians' at the same time."

"It's really a good thing to kill two birds with one stone! No, I have to contact the director immediately..."

As a result, a large amount of information interaction once again circulated from here.

Some civilizations were vaguely aware of something, and they accelerated the construction of observation stations, but they still lost the opportunity compared to the first-come-first-come-first-serve approach to the buildings near the water.

Almost the entire galaxy turned their attention to an inconspicuous galaxy called "Botu". Some nearby interstellar adventurers even went in and took a look around, selling the contents inside at a high price in time for the arrival of the Star Eater.

Earn the last sum before.

At the same time, the news that there is an indigenous civilization in this galaxy has been learned by all civilizations, but most civilizations do not care about this matter. They want to know how the "Guardians" eliminate the cosmic creatures that devour stars.

Except for one special civilization: the Alliance of Fire.

"These profit-seeking global corporations! They are so close, why don't they save the indigenous civilization? Even if it's just to transfer part of their population!"

"There is no need to be angry. There is no way those ruthless guys would do such a thankless thing. Our spaceship closest to the Botu Galaxy has already set off, and we hope to rescue them before the Star Eater arrives."

There was overwhelming criticism in the capital galaxy of the Fire Alliance, scolding Crebo for not saving his life and other civilizations' gloating about their misfortune. At the same time, they also asked civilizations closer to the Botu Galaxy to lend a helping hand.

They were once an indigenous civilization that retained the last spark of fire in a catastrophe, and it took them much longer than other civilizations to barely stand in the interstellar world.

Therefore, they are very keen on saving various indigenous civilizations. Of course, only the indigenous people.

The life and death of interstellar civilization is none of his business.

At the same time, because they are extremely radical in interstellar communication, any interstellar civilization that has an indigenous civilization in its territory will be scolded by them dozens of times. Therefore, almost all civilizations have a bad relationship with them, and a war is needed to solve the problem of values.

Already.

The Fire Alliance is still trying to use their weak influence to attract the attention of other civilizations, but the scientific research spacecraft controlled by the "Guardians" has quietly arrived inside the Botu galaxy and is gradually approaching a planet with life.
