Chapter 79: Undercurrents Surging

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

The slight commotion in the galaxy of the Ancient Heavens was the beginning of everything.

...

This galaxy was the mother galaxy of the Watcher, and there were two extremely habitable Gaia planets inside: the Heavenly Throne and the Temple of the Sky. Most of the Watcher’s population lived here.

It was also one of the Holy Lands of many idealistic civilizations, but the Watcher themselves did not agree with such a statement. The only holy lands they recognized were the Emerald Tomb, the Walled Garden, and the Pure Treasure.

However, this didn’t affect many people from the idealist civilization from coming to this star system for a pilgrimage.

The first civilization to know about the unusual movements of the Watchers was their vassal civilization.

Similar to the Voyager, they would occasionally improve the native civilizations, teach the natives, and guide the natives to walk the path of ideals.

The vassal civilizations, which were originally calm, had long realized the abnormality of their mother nation and immediately entered a state of tension.

…..

They discovered that the signal communication within the territory of the Watcher had become extremely complicated. More and more spaceships began to move within the galaxy.

Even though they did not receive any news from the mother nation, this dangerous anomaly still aroused their vigilance.

A period of time passed. Other than the vassal civilizations, more and more galactic civilizations also noticed the unusual movements of the Watcher.

A large number of ancient fleets began to enter and leave the border galaxies, and extremely advanced reconnaissance ships began to visit those ancient and destroyed planets.

Due to the heavy atmosphere, almost no civilization dared to pass through the border of the Watcher. They all tried their best to stay away from them.

“Manager, the Watcher has restored the data link of the investigative beacon and reactivated those abandoned reconnaissance stations…”

Beside Blenning, a subordinate was reporting the information they had obtained in a low voice.

The Lost Empire’s abnormal movements had become the hottest topic of discussion in the Milky Way. Although Craybow did not have a trading station near the Watcher, they were also very concerned about this matter.

After all, no matter how one looked at it, the Watcher seems to intend to return to the big chessboard of the Milky Way.

“Alright, you can leave first.” Blenning suddenly interrupted his subordinate’s narration. There was no emotion in his eyes. No one could tell what he thought about this matter.

The subordinate didn’t ask any more questions and left the room with his body lowered.

After he left, Blenning turned on a projection device and saw a holographic image from his boss.

“Blenning, I don’t think I need to tell you more about the recent hot topics in the Milky Way. The Watcher’s every move proves that they want to participate in this galactic opera.”

“Although we don’t know what the other lost empires will think of this, we still need to be prepared.”

“You’ll be in charge of the Administrator. Try your best to get familiar with them. If you need anything, you can request for approval from the headquarters. It’s enough as long as you can gain some favor from them…”

“We haven’t been established in this galaxy for long enough. Anything involving the Lost Empires must be treated with caution. There can’t be any mistakes… At the same time, pay attention to the Administrator’s recent situation. It would be best if you can find out their attitude towards the Watcher.”

Listening to his superior’s serious words, Blenning’s heart gradually became heavy.

They were Megacorp, an interstellar company that prioritized profits and was committed to selling their products to all parts of the Milky Way.

If it was a war between ordinary civilizations, they would definitely be quite happy. It was not like they had never profited from war before.

However, if it was a war involving the Lost Empires, they could only try their best to avoid becoming one of the many specks of dust in history.

The only thing he could be glad about was that Craybow’s headquarters was quite far from the Watcher.

Even if the Watcher started war, it would take a long time for them to be affected.

After reading the information on the holographic projection, Blenning fell into a short silence.

He could hear the pessimism in his superior’s words, but he soon felt a sense of excitement.

Danger and opportunity coexisted. He had once escaped the threat of the killer bee colony and became a famous figure in the company.

Although he was only the person in charge of a small trading land, his other identity was the person in charge of the lost robotic empire. This was enough to make him an existence above tens of thousands of people. People in the same level of trading enclave had to obey his orders.

This time, the abnormal movements of the Watcher seemed to be evidence of the opening of an epic era. Then, can a small fry like him have a chance to become a member of it?

There were many other galactic civilizations who shared his thoughts.

With the Turbulence Empire as the leader, the few monarch-based civilizations began to discuss the plan to sign a joint defense agreement. They had been above the masses for too long and were not willing to be under the command of others, even if the other party was the Lost Empire.

The Mingbow Science and Technology Dictatorship and a few neighbouring civilizations were still in an alliance. They had just divided up the legacy of the Pegchitti race.

Having enjoyed such benefits, they had long set their sights on the Pyro Alliance. However, since the Iron Heart Exterminators was still eyeing them from the rear, they maintained a friendly attitude on the surface.

And the unusual movements of the Watchers strengthened their determination to maintain the alliance.

Furthermore, the idealist civilizations were not completely ecstatic about this.

On the contrary, other than the vassal civilizations of the Watcher, most of the idealistic civilizations were worried.

Although they revered the Watcher, it didn’t mean that they liked to lose their autonomy and become a part of others.

Every civilization that could survive the cruel natural selection and embrace the universe in the long process of development would not want their pride to be reduced to the glory of others.

Among them, the Duncan Race was the fiercest. After they had made great achievements in the void realm, they were showered with gifts.

Many unsolvable scientific problems had been miraculously solved, and their resources and output were rising rapidly.

As a result, the thoughts of peacefulness and equality that had been popular in the country were rapidly changing.

As psionic users were divided into strong and weak, classifying social status according to psionic talent had even become the norm in the Duncan Race.

The equality of the past was gone. Even if the people did not realize this, authoritarism had already been deeply rooted in their hearts.

The Duncan Race, whose business was thriving, was not willing to see their grand ambitions destroyed by the Watcher. Amid the undercurrents, they had even made deals with some of the old interstellar civilizations.

Most of the unusual movements of ordinary civilizations were similar, but the vassal civilizations of the Voyager were very different.

Unlike other civilizations, they had long known that the clock bomb that had blown up the Holy Land planet had been set off by their mother nation. The unusual movements of the Watcher had long been within their expectations.

Moreover, from the information leaked by some of the Voyager scientists who came to teach, their mother nation might have had a bad relationship with the Watcher a long time ago.

Although the long period of time seemed to have diluted this hatred, they knew that the fanaticism brought by revenge would sooner or later spread to this galaxy again.

Although they did not want war, they had made ample preparations for war a long time ago because they would have no choice as a vassal civilization.

The stars rotated, and as the sun and moon alternated. The gaze landed on the lost robotic empire, which was located in a corner.

It seemed that the Administrator had no interest in the upcoming events in the Milky Way. They still maintained a large number of research spaceships flying around the Milky Way.

However, Li Wenyuan, who had made the latest discovery in the ruins, frowned and kept thinking about something.

A string of encrypted information was unearthed from a relic on Earth. After being deciphered, the text fragment left behind was as follows:

[No. N027: First Pressure Resistance Test]

[After countless simulations in the virtual world, we finally decided to trigger a controlled crisis in the real Milky Way to test whether the civilization formed under our spoon-feeding inspiration can resist the upcoming threat.]

[Test result: Failed]

[Most of them have regressed to the aboriginal era, or even lower. Only a small portion can maintain their incomplete state and still have the ability to travel through interstellar space.]

[This won’t do… Is it true that a civilization that is too rapid cannot form a stable state of civilization?]

[Then, we can only do our best next time.]

This message was very short, but the content made Li Wenyuan’s heart feel unprecedentedly heavy.

He felt that he had already gotten a glimpse of the history of the lost empires in the galaxy, but he was more concerned about the threat that was repeatedly mentioned.

“How much longer is there? Can we solve it with our current abilities?”

He had such a question, and then looked at the Milky Way Star Map.

The color blocks that represented the territories of many civilizations filled the monotonous colors here.

“I hope the Milky Way won’t have too much internal friction….”
