Chapter 85 The Calm Before the Storm
Chapter 85 The calm before the storm
Old enemy, this is nothing unusual in the galaxy.
Civilization always wants to move forward, and having a destined opponent can well provide the people with motivation to move forward, whether it is economically, technologically or militarily.
The sense of superiority and self-confidence brought about by surpassing old enemies is also an important means to improve people's cohesion.
Therefore, civilizations in the galaxy will more or less have one or two old enemies, even if they are just "playing house" without any actual confrontation.
But there are also some civilizations that are true "rivals" to each other.
Once their war breaks out, there will probably be no second outcome other than the destruction of one party, like now...
In the Sky Temple, the most important planet of the "Watchers", tens of billions of believers are gathering here, looking at the sky with serious faces.
Although their home star is the "Throne of Heaven", in the hearts of these believers, the importance and holiness of the "Temple in the Sky" is obviously superior.
The vast majority of ascetics will never leave the "Sky Temple" even throughout their lives, but will devote themselves wholeheartedly to practice.
Compared with the people in other lost empires who are always indulged in a state of enjoyment, the people of "Watchers" still retain their physical work behavior.
It may be to exercise psychic powers, or it may be required by their teachings.
The "Watchers" with these hard-working believers seem to be the least "lost" lost empire.
As for why so many people gathered here, it was because their high priest had found the culprit who had defiled the holy land!
Each of them is passionate about this incident, and until now, they are about to be aroused to extreme emotions.
The high priest was still sitting in the temple and did not go to a high platform to announce the matter to the believers.
Their psychic energy is connected to each other, and he doesn't need to use this method to attract people's attention.
After pondering for a while, he suddenly tapped the scepter in his hand.
But he saw that the originally normal sky of the "Sky Temple" quickly turned pale purple, and the rich Zeluo gas surged in the clouds, looking just like the virtual planet that Li Wenyuan had seen before.
But this is just an appearance. The sacred sky temple will not be swallowed by the virtual realm. This seemingly huge change is just a means for the "Watcher" to peek into the past.
They had used a similar method to see the "Apocalypse" from ancient times, but it only lasted for a short moment, and the picture was extremely blurry.
But even so, they paid the "price of history" with the lives of many psychic masters.
But this time, the cohesion of all believers has been unprecedentedly high, and the huge spiritual power inspired by the spirit can allow them to see what happened not long ago without even deliberately mobilizing it.
The purple gas in the atmosphere kept rolling, but gradually became calm, and finally formed a mirror-like sky, reflecting every believer in the Sky Temple.
Then, the thin picture gradually appeared in the "mirror".
There is a gem-like planet standing in orbit. This is the "pure treasure" of the Holy Land. At this time, it has not become a poisonous planet.
An inconspicuous spaceship passed by in a hurry, and then left an atomic clock on top that looked like a large capsule.
Then the screen quickly flipped and came to the "Pure Treasure" not long ago. The explosion caused by the atomic clock completely destroyed the surface of the planet, leaving only a mess.
The scene ended here, and the mirror-like sky slowly changed back to its original state, but every believer fell into silence.
Some of them didn't know who the spaceship came from, but the elders were awakened to ancient memories, which were passed down through psychic links and eventually engraved into the hearts of all believers.
That is their ancient enemy, an ugly race that uses machines to taint their consciousness and body. And this time, they will rekindle this ancient hatred.
The entire "Sky Temple" planet fell into a strange silence, but sensing the increasingly violent mental fluctuations of the believers, the high priest smiled.
The more repressed it is, the more terrifying it is when it breaks out. After signing a contract with the existence in the virtual realm, he believed it was time to move this long-stagnant civilization to a higher position.
So the expansion of the "Watchers" was stopped. They just sent a message to the galactic masses: "They will take revenge on the Farstriders", and then they entered a calm state, just like before they expanded.
But will the ignited feud be so easily resolved?
Although the "Far Traveler" that was originally in a state of expansion did not respond, it also stopped expanding and seemed to be brewing something.
The criminal enterprise "Kul Federation" that had surrendered to the "Far Traveler" early on was in a state of extreme uneasiness. They realized that something might be about to happen, but they had no choice now.
The entire galaxy suddenly became peaceful, like the calm before the storm.
Except for the civilizations that were already fighting, the other civilizations all stopped testing each other.
Even if there are changes in the country, these civilizations try to free up their hands to carefully observe the situation in the galaxy.
The "Curator Interstellar City-State", whose main source of income is the sale of various kinds of knowledge, also fell through the cracks during this period.
Countless civilizations have asked about the history of the "Watchers" and "Farstriders", but their payment has only received a series of "we don't know".
On the contrary, another archaeological civilization that was keen to unearth past history and inspect various ancient ruins discovered some clues. However, they did not inform other civilizations, but began to plan a big plan to relocate the entire family.
They don't want to be involved in this galactic chaos.
In addition to these young civilizations, there is also a "Lost Empire" that is very concerned about the "Watchers" and "Farstriders".
"... Judging from the ancient battlefield discovered before, it is obvious that these two lost empires have quite a feud. The ancient feud seems to have been ignited... so there will be a war that affects the entire galaxy.
?”
Li Wenyuan looked at the old enemy announcement issued by "Watchman" with a headache, and felt heavy about "the calm before the storm".
He felt that his plan to explore the entire galaxy was going to be disrupted.
However, Gray Wind doesn't have much interest in this matter. The wars of other civilizations are the most boring thing to her.
But knowing that Li Wenyuan didn't want to participate in these messy things, she suddenly came up with a clever idea and said:
"Why don't you move into my 'Far Star Cluster'? As long as the star gate is closed, no matter how chaotic the outside world is, it has nothing to do with us! If you are inside, maybe it won't be so boring?"
"It won't go as far as this... I still hope to learn as much as possible about the history of these two lost empires during this period of time."
"Okay..." Gray Feng paused, but then he had an interesting thought:
"Why don't you also declare an 'ancient enemy'? As for the target... what about me? You see, two different robot lost empires have a sense of fate, right?"
"...You are such a clever little kid. It's really unfair to let you live in the 'Far Star Cluster'..." Li Wenyuan was a little dumbfounded, but he also knew that Gray Feng was just joking.
So time passed quietly. In the process of searching for human remains, Li Wenyuan often explored the history of lost empires.
But these lost empires have even forgotten their own origins, and trying to find information in the vast sea of stars is like looking for a needle in a haystack.
All the last clues ultimately point to human remains.
He can only pray that the lost history can be found in the ruins.
