Chapter 93 Battle of Heaven

  The news that the former "Prophet" Zaklan was delisted caused a shock in idealistic civilization.

  Although this notice was issued by the "Watcher", many true believers still feel incredible.

  They ignored all the accusations of guilt about Zaklan, and were determined to follow Zaklan who had left.

  Although the number of this group of people is small, they will become a considerable force when superimposed.

   No one knows where Zaklan himself went. Some people speculate that he felt chilled by the chaotic galaxy and chose to live in seclusion; others speculate that he predicted the coming of the crisis and decided to find a solution to the threat.

   But no matter how you say it, Zaklan's departure is a fact. Even if someone tried to find it, they still found nothing in the end.

And this very important matter for idealistic civilization did not cause much disturbance in materialistic civilization, but a few students who took "Zaklan" as their graduation thesis topic were unlucky and had to temporarily change their research direction .

   What is more popular in materialistic civilization now is the big discussion about the ruthless man who transferred his consciousness into a mechanical body.

  After all, the act of completely abandoning the body sounds too outrageous, even those who have replaced more than 80% of their bodies with prosthetic bodies cannot imagine such a situation.

  Some people think that this is definitely a great way to adapt to the advancement of civilization, but some people think that the efficiency improvement brought about by the use of prosthetic bodies and robots is enough, and there is no need to choose this dangerous method that has a huge impact on philosophical issues.

  The discussion on this matter has a faint tendency to become the number one hot topic under the "Awakened Empire".

   "...But having said that, have you noticed that no lost empire seems to have used such a method?"

   "...Indeed, if you think about it this way, even the 'far traveler' still uses a prosthetic body..."

   "Does this mean that this path is not feasible?"

  “…It’s hard to say, but we need to make our own way. Standing on the shoulders of giants is good, but it may also make us never escape the influence of others…”

   Several young people expressed their views on the Internet, but in addition to these normal discussions, there are also some conspiracy theories that are quietly growing.

  People always like to diverge their thinking, and use guesswork to create an event chain that they believe in.

  The most popular conspiracy theory is that this is a spy sent by the omnic civilization, the purpose is to make them all use mechanical bodies, and then use a powerful virus to control everyone.

   As for how many people who are afraid of machines will be convinced by this statement, it is temporarily unknown.

  Time passed again, and while the civilizations were working hard to improve themselves in the calm before the storm, there were finally some changes in the two lost empires that had expanded and fell into silence.

  First of all, their vassal civilization first initiated the declaration of war.

   It may be a coincidence that both Warden and Farstrider have exactly five vassal civs. The "Farstriders" started with four, but the number has grown to five after absorbing the criminal enterprise "Kool Federation".

This small-scale war between the vassals actually presented a strange sense of ritual, as if it had been agreed in advance, strong against strong, weak against weak, everyone's opponents seemed to be the kind that happened to be comparable .

   While the civilizations were still watching these evenly matched wars and not knowing what they were going to do, both the "Watcher" and the "Farwalker" had their own news.

  They sent an emissary to each young civilization, rather than through the usual methods such as signal broadcasting, which seemed extremely formal.

  These envoys directly and clearly stated the ancient feud between them, and promised to reward those who joined them and severely punish those who opposed them.

  Even though the rewards are very attractive, most of the civilizations are sober. Their choice is not to join any party, and they have no interest in the feud between the two lost empires.

   And a few civilizations thought that the opportunity had come, and each chose to join their preferred side, trying to get a share of the grievances between ancient civilizations.

  Even if the victors can get extremely generous rewards, they may soar to the sky, but the price of failure is something they cannot afford.

  So the moment they joined, they were fully prepared for war.

   In addition, there is a civilization that has made a completely different choice from everyone.

   "You will all fall at our feet!"

  When the messenger of the "Watcher" came to this civilization, what he heard was a choice he had never considered.

  He even thought that his translator had made a mistake, so he specially replaced several new translators to confirm what the "stone man" in front of him meant.

   "Uh... you mean, you won't join either side?" The emissary tried to understand the choice of this civilization, but the "stone man" emphasized again:

   "No! What we mean is that you will all be defeated by us!"

   This time, the messenger was absolutely sure that the translator was correct, and this civilization chose to declare war on the two lost empires.

   This person who made an unexpected choice came from a stony civilization, that is, a silicon-based life.

  Civilizations of this life form are indeed rare in the galaxy, so many civilizations were full of curiosity and enthusiasm for them at first.

  But soon these enthusiastic civilizations announced that they would sever ties with this "Stone Man Civilization" and proposed joint sanctions against it.

   And the reason quickly spread in the galaxy: it is because this "stone man civilization" is a bit stupid.

   It may not be said to be stupid, but a strong self-confidence, arrogance, and desire to expand are maintaining their civilized exchanges.

  They are very similar to the racial cleanliness "Pecchiti" who once ravaged the galaxy, but they are not the same.

  The most obvious point is that "Pecchiti" will at least have an assessment of his own strength. If the enemy is too strong, they will not take the initiative to provoke them, and just have a little addiction to lip service.

  However, this "Stone Man Civilization" is always fearless. The most amazing move they have ever made is to declare war on more than twenty civilizations at the same time, including even the "Silent One" lost empire.

   This kind of absolute self-confidence has even become a legend in the galaxy. "Star Sea World Records" has engraved a world record for it that no one can surpass: the interstellar country that has declared war on the most civilizations at the same time.

  The only reason they're still alive is because the civilizations are expecting some more fun from them.

   Facts have proved that this "stone man civilization" did not live up to expectations.

   "... To be honest, you can actually have a better choice. I think it would be pretty good if you don't join any party..." The messenger actually began to persuade the leader of the stone man in front of him.

  As an envoy, he felt that he was someone who had seen big winds and waves. He could understand the prudence of young civilizations, and he had expected not to join any party.

  But now this unexpected choice makes him feel that this galaxy is really colorful, and he has lived for so many years.

   "Don't say too much! I will make you bow down!" The stone man still looked confident. Seeing this, the envoy could only sigh constantly, ready to truthfully report the situation back to the "Watcher" territory.

  Before leaving, he saw the spaceship of "Farwalker" also coming here. It is still the preparation period for the war. Even if they dislike each other as old enemies, they will not attack here.

However, when he passed by the "Watcher" envoy, the "Watcher" envoy couldn't help laughing, he could already foresee what expression this titular person would have later .

  So it didn't take long for the galaxy civilization to know that there was a "stone man civilization" who chose an unexpected choice.

   "...It's their fault!" Inside Cribb's trading station, Breining couldn't help admiring.

The war between them and the "killing bee swarm" came to an end temporarily due to the arrival of the Lost Empire. Even this group of bee swarms who like to devour biomass crazily seem to understand that something is wrong with the situation in the galaxy and start to stop in time. Make a head bird.

   And because the trading post where Brainin was located was close to the "Guardian", no bee swarm dared to come over to harass him.

  However, when he heard the choice of the "Stone Man Civilization", he still had a feeling that it was both unexpected and reasonable.

  As a "Huanyu Enterprise", they have naturally tried to do business with this group of ignorant stone men.

  The ending is self-evident, Kribo himself was regarded as one of the objects of war by these stone men. It's just that before they had time to make a move, the group of stone men were beaten to the point where there was only one home planet left, and no resources were seized in time.

  But after the admiration, there is worry about the future.

   "...This group of stone men should be the last batch. Looking at it now, it seems that all the young civilizations in the galaxy have received invitations from the 'Watchers' and 'Farwalkers' to join the war."

   "Even the Lost Empire needs some pawns to witness the end of their feud?"

  “…What will be the outcome of this war? Will there be winners and losers? Or will both lose? Can we gain anything?”

  Brenning looked at the star map that seemed to be getting darker and darker, sighed constantly, and finally looked at the "Mechanical Lost Empire" in the corner of the map, and said to himself with some envy:

  "...It's better to lose the empire. You don't have to do anything, just sit and watch the galaxy surging. If only we had such strength..."

   Li Wenyuan, who was still hurrying to explore the ruins, did not expect that someone would look at him like this. It has been a long time since he sent out the task of "finding pictures and objects", but there is no harvest yet.

   All relevant traces of this suspected "threat" seem to have been cleaned up from the galaxy, and almost no clues related to it can be found.

  However, the group of "Ancient Travelers" who he placed in the "Infinite Lighthouse" ring world are developing at a speed that he can't even understand.

  The efficiency brought to them by the mechanical body is indeed unparalleled. While they are restlessly restoring their former homeland, they are also constantly assembling new companions.

  They don’t need to reproduce normally like creatures. The only complicated point in the process of increasing the number of siblings is the construction of the thinking network, which is what determines their “soul”.

Even though their population is still far behind the normal interstellar civilization, their high production efficiency has allowed them to form an advanced fleet, which looks exactly the same as the "far traveler", but has a more Quaint aesthetic.

  The memory of knowledge is still in their minds. In time, maybe not so long, they will replace the current "far traveler" and become a real awakened empire.

   "A feud?" A leader of the Ancient Farwalkers was aware of what was about to happen in the galaxy, but the hatred has now faded. After being betrayed by their compatriots, they just wanted to follow in the footsteps of the "Apocalypse".

   But their newborn compatriots are still curious about the history of the past, even if those have become part of their "memory", they still want to hear the stories of ancient times.

   "That was a thing in the past. At that time, the galaxy showed signs of prosperity under the great cause of the 'Apocalypse'."

   "We claim to be the most orthodox successors of the 'Apocalypse', and even imitated the name of the 'Apocalypse' to give ourselves a name."

"But at that time, there was another group of people in the galaxy who claimed to be the successors of the 'Apocalypse', and coincidentally also called themselves the 'XX'. We are still very young, and we naturally do not allow such arrogance. "

   "So the Great War broke out, and each of us wanted to use a war to end all wars to maintain the 'galactic paradise' left by the 'Apocalypse'."

   "I guess they may have forgotten the reason now, they only know that they are old enemies. But we still have a unique way of naming this kind of war, that is—"

   "—That is the 'Battle of Heaven'." Li Wenyuan explained to Gray Wind what was about to happen in the Milky Way according to the information extracted from the memory of the "Ancient Far Traveler".

  In the star map at this time, the color blocks representing the territory of "Watcher" and "Farwalker" have quietly turned red. The hatred between the two ancient civilizations was officially ignited.
