Chapter 158 Post-War Galaxy
“…Purpose and deceit, greed and desire, this is the most common thing in the galaxy.”
"After all, there are only a few great causes, 'Apocalypse', if you see this scene, will you regret what you did?"
Witnessing the end of the last lost empire that existed in the Milky Way before he came, Li Wenyuan remembered the words he had heard from the "far traveler".
All Lost Empires seem to be working for a "Great Cause", but as they say, "Purpose and Deceit, Greed and Lust" is the most common thing.
How can a "great cause" full of these elements succeed?
Although the "Civilization Destroyers" are sanctimonious, their "great cause" is full of indifference, deceit, and arrogance.
For the desire to "complete a great cause", they did not hesitate to drag the entire galaxy to carry out an experiment that will never be redone.
Succeeded, and they were indeed "great" enough, but what if they failed?
Without understanding the situation, they explained a logical closed loop on their own, and believed in it, but they didn't know that they were wrong from the beginning, which was the reason for their defeat.
No matter how glamorous they were, the current "civilization destroyer" is just a loser in history.
Everything about them will soon disappear under the mighty power of time, leaving no trace. And "civilization destroyer" will also become synonymous with the past.
"...Then, this 'galactic crisis' is over..."
The "Civilization Destroyers" chose collective suicide at the last moment, which kept the few Gaia planets transformed by them intact.
According to the news from "Pressolin", "Cordyceps disease" has also been suppressed by them in a galaxy, and there is no possibility of spreading.
The queen of "Pressolin" told him very excitedly that they discovered that the Cordyceps fungus could make the dead body grow again, and they planned to name that galaxy "Farmland" and use it as a food-producing galaxy.
Li Wenyuan did not object to this, but only told her to take preventive measures to prevent the Cordyceps fungus from spreading again.
The wanderers in the refuge area also returned to their civilization in an orderly manner. Although the galaxy after the crisis seemed a bit dilapidated, everyone was full of hope and motivation, and worked hard to restore the former grand occasion.
They brought what they saw and heard in the territory of the lost empire, and also brought speculations about the relationship between the remaining lost empires from the Galactic civilization.
It was the first time for these people to really enter the territory of the "Coordinator", and found that it seemed to be in an extremely distant isolated star cluster.
At the same time, they also confirmed the relationship between the "Guardian" and the "Coordinator". At least judging from the robot individuals with identical appearance and almost the same architectural style, they even doubted whether the two lost empires were the same civilization. of two forms.
The "hatchery" of "Pressolin" was as enthusiastic as ever, and generously presented a magical gift of "air-dried Cordyceps marinated aged space whale meat", and called it "Galaxy Delicacy".
But for those people who feel sick at the sight of fungi, they declined this gift, which made "Pressolin" feel sorry.
People who returned from the territory of the newly born "far traveler" brought back some kind of advanced robot adjutant, which seems to be of great help to scientists, and has been put into research and development.
Although reconstruction is an urgent matter, future development is also under planning. This kind of advanced robot adjutant can improve the scientific research efficiency of scientists, and the future can be expected.
"...It's almost time to go back, the galactic civilizations have performed very well this time, and they are promising..."
Li Wenyuan sighed, and then ordered the fleet to return to the country, while he controlled a scientific research spacecraft to the "refuge" around the world.
Although the name and sounding functions are very similar to his own "sanctuary" ring world, this place actually holds the civilizations controlled by the "civilization destroyer".
The "Civilization Annihilators" also lived up to their new name, and the moment they committed suicide, they "destroyed" these civilizations.
However, these civilizations have already been destroyed long ago. The spores used by the "Civilization Destroyer" to control the people of these civilizations destroyed the host's consciousness the moment they parasitized, leaving only a living "empty shell".
In order to "embrace reality" and achieve the goal of breaking away from the "virtual world", they also let these living "empty shells" meet death with them.
Li Wenyuan wanted to see if there were other living people in this "shelter", but he didn't expect to meet a group of unexpected people here.
"Those are..." His consciousness moved slightly, and then he checked the Galaxy Battle Report all the time.
Those who came here were a group of guys who disappeared inexplicably a long time ago. At that time, Li Wenyuan was stopped by them to ask for money, so they called them "beggars".
And judging from their organizational scale and degree of order, they seem to have grown to the point of "civilization", which is completely different from the previous situation of only begging for food.
Yes, they were the "Comparal Marauders" at that time, a group of bad guys who were similar to space pirates but lived a life of beggars.
But now they seem to have undergone a major change. They have also discovered Li Wenyuan's arrival, but they are obviously much more humble than a certain extinct arrogance awakened empire.
They were the first to send out the signal that they were not in danger and stayed away from the Ring World.
After that, they continued to convey the communication to Li Wenyuan:
"Hello, dear 'Guardian', we are the interstellar warriors under the command of 'Khan'."
"We know that you know everything, but we still need to explain our actions. We are not desecrating the corpses, but are here to save the survivors who are controlled by the 'civilization destroyer'."
"The high-level people of these civilizations are not stupid. They know that it is very dangerous to hand over the life of civilization to another civilization, so some of them have adopted a special 'fire' plan."
"They have signed a contract with the existence in the virtual world - the 'Wave of Life'. This contract can guarantee that some of their citizens have extremely tenacious vitality, at the cost of the vitality of other citizens will be weakened."
"With this kind of contract, these people survived the spore parasite, and successfully deceived the "civilization destroyer", and did not die along with it."
"But because no one pays the price, those who survive will die soon, and we are here for this."
Speaking, these interstellar warriors also delivered a large number of real-time video files.
Li Wenyuan also saw that countless dying people were taken out of the mountain of corpses, inserted with infusion tubes, kept their vitality from being exhausted, and then hurriedly transported to the spaceship.
In order to dispel doubts, these soldiers did not stop their explanations.
"Our 'Khan' is an extremely powerful psychic. He discovered some loopholes in the virtual contract and found a way to save these lives."
"We signed a contract with another existence in the virtual world, and used a method similar to tearing down the east wall to make up for the west wall to offset the influence of the 'thread of life'."
"Although it is very difficult, this is the only way we have found. As long as the contract ends, these lives can be revived..."
"This is a trial belonging to our great "Khan". If you agree, can you not interfere with the trial?"
"We swear on our honor and our lives, even if we die, these lives will never be harmed!"
And Li Wenyuan also saw their method: to give his own flesh to these weaklings. As outrageous as it may seem, it miraculously revives the dying.
Regarding this, Li Wenyuan did not stop them.
Although he can try to go to the Void Realm to communicate with the "Wave of Life" to break the contract, but by then these people will be cold, not to mention he may not be able to find them.
After scanning the "refuge" ring world, he left here after finding nothing unusual.
He has some interest in these people who claim to be under the command of "Khan", but now "Khan" seems to have not been born in the interstellar, and is still in the "trial".
These "rehabilitated" people seem to be a force that cannot be ignored. Perhaps the galactic civilizations need to pay more attention to it.
But to him they were still "kindergarten kids," part of a "galactic civilization."
After he left, the interstellar fighters under the command of the "Khan" began to step up to rescue the survivors, and batches of spaceships came and went here until all the survivors were accepted.
There are many corpses here, but these warriors did not let them die in the wilderness, but held a simple funeral for them, commemorating all the lives that died in this galaxy crisis.
It wasn't until some time later that the Ignition Alliance's spaceship came here in a hurry, and was surprised to find that someone had already appeased the dead souls here in advance.
They tried to find this civilization in the galaxy, but found no trace, and no civilization claimed responsibility for this kind of incident, which greatly helped the diplomatic reputation.
In the end, the Tinder Alliance reported their findings in a giant building—the Interstellar Assembly, which is where the headquarters of the rebuilt "Galactic Community" is located.
And the galaxy has opened a new chapter.
Countless dancers have already left the stage, but new dancers will continue to appear on stage, maintaining the never ending curtain of the Galaxy stage.
