Chapter 149 "The Merciful" Decision
“…the ‘Apocalypse’ came here when the galaxy was undeveloped, and inspired all things.”
"A civilized world was born, and loneliness and death are no longer the main theme of the galaxy."
“The universe is expanding day by day, but the distance between us is getting closer. From that day on, what connects us is not the cold distance, but every corner of the world.”
“Over the long years in the past, we have gradually understood the idea of the ‘Apocalypse’ and are committed to it.”
"It can be said that the 'Apocalypse' created us today, and the 'Observer' you know is the successor civilization that continues the path of the 'Apocalypse'."
"..."
A group of people are walking in the sightseeing corridor, the leader is telling the story of their past with enthusiasm, while the followers behind are listening to the voice of the person in front without panting.
There is a green shade under the promenade, and the huge grassland forest seems to be invisible at a glance. Only the looming "pillars" in the sky can indicate the location of this place.
Here is the "refuge" ring world, and the "pillar" on the other side is another ring world.
Although they are connected to each other, the long distance makes them visually look like a giant pillar hidden in the clouds.
The group of people who are sightseeing in the floating corridor is a "sightseeing group" composed of an observer of a "benevolent shelter" and other civilized dignitaries.
The observer of the "Benevolent Shelter" does not know whether it is for showing off or for other purposes, asking these protected civilizations to inspect the environment of this ring world together.
The sheltered civilizations under the fence could not resist this incident, and finally sent important figures in their civilizations to accompany the observer of the lost empire.
Then they stopped talking all the way. The observer seemed to be very talkative, and the topic was switched very quickly.
One minute I was still talking about a habit of cherishing animals, and the next minute I started to tell ancient stories that I don’t know the truth of.
Besides, his memory doesn't seem to be very good. This group of civilized politicians has heard this story about the mysterious "Apocalypse" no less than ten times, but this observer still enjoys it.
"...It's 'Apocalypse' again, and what kind of enlightenment...Are you also talking like the dead 'Watcher'?"
Someone slandered in his heart, but this thought only passed by in a flash, and then the slanderer sounded the alarm in his heart, and silently let the prosthetic organs in his body synthesize a sedative for himself.
He is regretting that he has been in the political world for so many years, but he still makes such a stupid mistake.
Consciously controlling your inner thoughts is the first lesson before going to work, at least make sure that the thoughts in your mind remain neutral.
If you can get along in a dominant position, it's okay to be more casual.
But the lost empire he faced had unfathomable technology, and there was something magical like "spiritual energy" in this galaxy.
Always slandering in the heart will sooner or later make people catch the loopholes, and every diplomatic envoy will try his best to prevent bad thoughts from appearing in his heart.
And he may have not engaged in this job again for a long time, making such a low-level mistake.
So the politician lowered his head even more, not daring to look directly at the observer of the "benevolent shelter".
But unlike his errant diplomat, the dignitaries of other patronized civilizations have been pondering the stories told by the "benevolent hosts."
Although this incident itself sounds very magical, it is impossible not to pay attention to the words spoken by the Lost Empire.
And those stories related to the "Apocalypse" have been quietly passed on to the civilization behind them through their respective devices.
"...'Apocalypse', it sounds like it is true. Is this an older civilization that was born before the lost empire?"
"The lost empire is so terrifying, so what kind of strength will they have in this ancient country that seems to have laid the foundation for the birth of the galaxy civilization?"
"It's unbelievable, does this kind of civilization really exist in the universe?"
There is more than one person who holds such an idea, or in fact, most people don't quite believe the story told by the observer of the "benevolent shelter".
This kind of situation is usually a great achievement in mythology. So far, no one has thought that this kind of achievement can be achieved by only one civilization.
All in all, these sheltered civilizations have a skeptical attitude, and recorded these stories about the "Apocalypse" in the top-secret files inside the civilization.
After the crisis of "Cordyceps disease" is resolved, they will personally search for the truth in the galaxy. Only when they see the relevant traces with their own eyes, will they believe the content of the story.
However, at this time they still need to accompany the observer, and wait for the good news of the "cordyceps disease" under the shelter of the "benevolent shelter".
During the break in the middle, after breaking away from the breathless observers of the Lost Empire, these dignitaries took advantage of this precious opportunity to check the new information of the galaxy today.
The timeliness of information will bring errors. Everyone who wants to achieve something must not miss hot spots, even these diplomatic envoys. It has become their muscle to pay attention to the big and small things in the galaxy whenever they have free time. instinct.
So they were all quickly screened by a unique message, which was the "Declaration of War on 'Cordyceps Disease'" issued by the "Hive Lost Empire".
Of course, "Presolin" actually only said three sentences, and they still don't know what process is required to "declare war".
This "declaration of war" was "forged" by a group of good people who added more oil and vinegar, and wrote thousands of words with eloquence.
Although most people knew it was a fake, they couldn't hold back their literary talents. They described an epic war in the declaration of war, which was sought after.
Even "Presolin" themselves don't know that they have such a "history of grievances" with "Cordyceps disease".
However, this kind of literary creation is not of much interest to these dignitaries of protected civilizations. They are more concerned about the impact behind this incident.
"...The unexpected lost empire has launched a counterattack. Will the frightening 'cordyceps disease' continue to be so difficult to deal with?"
"Presolin" showed a crushing effect in eradicating "Cordyceps disease". These hideous but very peaceful creatures are like natural enemies to the Cordyceps fleet with worrying biological quality.
According to the known Galaxy records, "Presolin" has an astonishing battle damage ratio of 1:10,000 to "Cordyceps disease".
The loss of 1 was not due to "cordyceps disease", but the "Pressolin" soldier swallowed too much fungus, accidentally choked on it, and was evacuated from the battlefield as a "wounded person".
In fact, they suffered zero battle losses in the face of "Cordyceps disease", and even the "mythical creatures" of Cordyceps were powerless against them.
The "Cordyceps disease" that is raging in the Milky Way at this time has a tendency to retreat. If "Presolin" and other civilizations can clean up a little bit, maybe this is the last "Cordyceps disease".
None of these politicians spoke out, and they were all thinking about the impact of this incident in their hearts.
They will choose to accept the asylum of the "benevolent shelter", naturally because they are afraid of the horror of "cordyceps disease".
Of course, there is still the idea of being able to quickly gain a foothold in the dilapidated galaxy in the future and quickly promote to the first echelon.
If other galactic civilizations are dying in the "cordyceps disease", then their "fire seeds" may become the leaders of the new round.
But the premise of realizing this future is that they are really "fire seeds". If the "cordyceps disease" is solved in this way, then their civilizations that "made the most suitable choice at the right time" will not be liquidated. , but its diplomatic weight will undoubtedly be greatly weakened.
The general history of the galaxy "The Record of Floating and Sinking in the Star Sea" records the battle between the two camps that took place in the Milky Way a long time ago.
The reason for this war was the friction and hatred between the galactic civilizations. Although it did not have the "ancient feud" like the lost empire, it still triggered a galactic war.
Among them were the victors of the previous war, which had high hopes. However, after the war started, this civilization surprisingly surrendered in just a few months.
Although the camp to which this civilization belongs finally won the Galactic War, and the civilization that "surrendered at the speed of light" returned to the country, but the "ridicule" of this civilization has never stopped, and even many later civilizations remember over this matter.
So after this civilization lost the right to speak in diplomacy, it didn't get any benefits in the post-war resource allocation, and soon became a subordinate of another powerful civilization because of its diplomatic weakness.
This matter may have gradually faded in the galaxy, but as long as there is an opportunity, it will be remembered again. At that time, civilizations like them that have not fought against "cordyceps disease" will lose all diplomatic dominance, at least for thousands of years It will become the "joke" of the galaxy for a long time.
“…But no matter what, the outcome of this matter has nothing to do with us. The moment we choose to accept asylum, we can only wait for the decision of the ‘benevolent shelter’.”
After a period of thinking, these politicians recalled their own situation and stopped thinking about it too much.
If they didn’t accept asylum, it’s fine. Since they have accepted asylum, speculative behavior must not be allowed. Which lost empire would make people come and go whenever they want?
They only hope that the "benevolent hosts" will let them go "mercifully" as their name suggests, so that they can take advantage of the aftermath of the "cordyceps disease" to get a share of the last pie.
