Chapter 69: The Lost History

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

The exploration of the fourth circular world was surprisingly simple. Other than causing a huge explosion, the civilization that attempted to ascend did not leave anything difficult to deal with.

...

At least, it was better than the third circular world. After the control center was rebuilt and the ecosystem returned to normal, the fourth circular world would be a perfect circular world.

Although he had obtained a circular world, Li Wenyuan was only feeling mixed emotions.

If the fourth circular world was already in such a state, what would be of the other similar creations left behind by humans?

Humans would definitely not build just one circular world. If the natives in other circular worlds that other humans took in were equally adventurous, then when Li Wenyuan went over to retrieve the other circular worlds, he would probably receive circular worlds that had been blown up.

“I hope the other worlds are occupied by well-behaved natives…” Li Wenyuan could only forcefully comfort himself and begin repairing the third circular world, which was hardest to salvage.

“But speaking of which, did the psionic natives here sign a contract with the ‘End of Reincarnation’, which ultimately caused their civilization to self-destruct?” Li Wenyuan recalled the explanation of the native chosen one he had taken in previously. Although the chosen one’s civilization had been destroyed by the End of Reincarnation, they had received great help before their destruction.

…..

According to the story, the help given was a gift from the End of Reincarnation before it collected interest.

However, when the settlement happened, the End of Reincarnation would collect interest proportionate to how much it had given out.

If even the population of a native civilization could form a “Distorted Consciousness” that was considerably strong, then what if the population several eras later increased by dozens or even hundreds of times?

“Could it be that someone from the idealistic civilization in the Milky Way has also signed a contract with the End of Reincarnation?” The more Li Wenyuan thought about it, the more he felt that it was possible.

The pursuit of progress was something every civilization would do. The “End of Reincarnation” could obviously bring about progress within a certain period of time.

The contractor might not know what the consequences would be, or they might know but think that they have a way to solve it, just like this native civilization.

However, if someone really signed the contract, then the civilizations of the Milky Way might have to be prepared to face more powerful “Distorted Consciousnesses” and even more terrifying void realm lifeforms.

After thinking for a while, Li Wenyuan decided to issue a notice to the Milky Way to clarify the possible dangers of the “End of Reincarnation”. At least, he had to make the civilizations who wanted to sign the contract carefully consider.

Li Wenyuan did not expect the idealistic civilizations to listen to him, but sometimes, a little doubt was enough to make them give up on such highly risky behavior.

Therefore, all the interstellar civilizations in the Milky Way received a message from the “Administrator” not long after.

“‘The End of Reincarnation’? That thing sounds magical. Which stupid God is predicting the ending of the Milky Way?”

In the trade station of Craybow, Blenning was listening to his subordinates’ reports while casually criticizing the unscientific thing.

Blenning was a staunch materialist. Although the existence of psionic energy and the void realm had been proven, he was still not optimistic about it, let alone about the “End of Reincarnation”, which sounded too mysterious.

When Blenning’s subordinate heard Blenning’s words, he held his words in for a long time before saying resentfully, “This… This news was sent by the “Administrator”. He broadcasted this matter to the entire Milky Way. As for whether it’s true or not, it hasn’t been proven yet…”

Blenning, who was still very undisciplined before, suddenly straightened up with a serious face. He nodded and praised, “A great discovery. They are worried about our future! Quick, pass on my order. Change the advertising screen here to this message and broadcast it on repeat for a month!”

Blenning’s expression was very serious, as if he had really seen the moment when the “End of Reincarnation” descended.

“But that’s not what you said just now…” Although Blenning’s subordinate expressed displeasure in his heart, he still fawned over Blenning on the surface, nodding and bowing as he received Blenning’s order.

After the subordinate left, Blenning regained his usual calm look and began to tap the table with his fingers.

“A threat from the void realm? How many more threats like this are there in the Milky Way, or even beyond the Milky Way? As expected, strength is still needed…”

The idealistic civilizations also received the message from the “Administrator”.

Most civilizations had mixed feelings toward the message. After all, although the content was very terrifying, the message only made sense if one encountered the “End of Reincarnation” in the void realm.

In fact, most of them did not even know that there was something in the void realm that could sign contracts. They were still in the initial stage of using the void realm.

However, a certain civilization that had made some achievements in the void realm reacted differently.

“The Administrator’ sent news that there is a terrifying thing in the void realm. It looks like it’s very likely the existence that signed a contract with us. How about we discuss it?”

An elder of the Duncan Race projected the message from the ‘Administrator’ on the conference table for everyone to see.

However, everyone had already seen the message, and their choice was almost overwhelmingly the same.

“Regardless of whether it’s true or false, we’ve already signed a contract. This information is meaningless.” An elder shook his head and abstained.

“It’s part and parcel of development to face difficulties and overcome them,” another elder said. “Even if it really brings destruction, 1 think we can find a solution before that happens.”

After saying that, he voted in favor, indicating that he believed that they should continue what they had been doing.

“I agree with Elder Lingmiao. If destruction is unavoidable, then continuing forward is the best choice.” Another elder voted in agreement.

As the process accelerated, more and more people voted in favor. Although some people chose to abstain, there were no objections.

The last person to vote was a very young elder. He gained attention after the Great Awakening movement.

Psionic energy seemed to favor the young elder, for it did not take long for him to take the position of the youngest elder.

Sweeping his gaze across the people in the conference room, the young elder said in a clear voice, “To be honest, I don’t understand why we need to mobilize so many people for such a piece of information that we don’t know if it’s true or not. Why are we giving the ‘Administrator’ such credibility? Is it just because he is from the lost empire? Even if he’s from the lost empire, it should be the Watcher who announces the information, not a bunch of androids who can’t enter the void realm.”

The elders looked at each other, not understanding why the young elder said such words. It was just a vote that could be done in a few minutes. Wouldn’t it be a waste of everyone’s time to talk about the issue at such length?

“Elder Lingzhi,” one of the elders could not help but remind him. “Voting is just a formality that has been going on since before we entered interstellar space.

Any matter that involves the entire civilization requires voting. In fact, all of us know what the outcome will be, but we still need to ensure abidance by the rules.”

“So why are we giving the information such credibility? Do we have to treat every piece of information from the lost empire seriously? Aren’t they a bunch of old fogeys? In time, they will also be defeated by us!” the young elder still expressed his deep dissatisfaction.

In the end, the great elder of the Duncan Race sighed and said, “The lost empire has its glorious history. You can think that they are now unambitious and powerless, but you can’t underestimate or even insult them just because of their current state.”

“Sometimes, their dejectedness is not owing to their wallowing in self-pity. Instead, it’s because they have lost too much in the process of fighting against the enemies of the Milky Way, so much so that when they came back to their senses, they had already forgotten who they are. Perhaps we can indeed defeat them in the future. But we still need to respect them, whether as opponents or as former world protectors.”

Those words that contained some kind of profound meaning shocked everyone present. An elder could not help but ask, “Great Elder, where did you…”

However, the great elder did not explain. He only shook his head and announced the end of the voting ceremony, allowing everyone to return to their respective duties.

As for Li Wenyuan, after repairing the control center and reestablishing the connection of the four circular worlds, he obtained information that the humans had left behind..
