Chapter 80: Until Death
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
“The dilapidated dock was repaired and adjusted again, and the once silent Titan Battleship assembly plant was back online. The entire galaxy was paying attention to the same question: When this once sleeping giant decides to restore his former glory, who will be the first one to futilely attempt to stop him?”
Gray Wind shook her head and read out the promotional slogan of the latest Galaxy blockbuster, “The Awakened Empire”. She seemed to like this description very much.
Speculative businessmen would not let go of such a big event that would affect the entire Milky Way. They worked overtime to produce similar blockbusters in their respective civilizations: A dormant ancient civilization once again announced their existence to the world, and the young civilizations united against a common enemy, forming the Milky Way Federation and waging a fierce war with the ancient civilization. The description was extremely epic.
The ending of the movie was naturally the repentance and sacrifice of the unfriendly civilization, the struggle of the friendly civilization, and the climax of the protagonist’s civilization turning the tide, sweeping the arrogant old antique into the trash heap of history.
Li Wenyuan didn’t know whether to laugh or cry at this, but he didn’t say anything. He just looked at the territory of the Watcher on the star map that was expanding.
Not long ago, the Watcher had issued a notice to the entire galaxy. They would revive their ancient authority, crush all those who oppose them, and find the criminal who had defiled the Holy Land.
However, for now, they had not met any opponents. The Milky Way was still very big, and it would take a long time for their borders to touch the first interstellar civilization.
…..
However, the vassal civilizations of the Watcher were different. They became active when their mother country decided to expand, and they felt like pawns.
The Watcher didn’t expect them to do anything, but they still felt that they should do something.
Although they did not have an “ancient hatred” or an “ancient enemy”, it was easy to find an excuse for war.
Thus, the Milky Way, which had not been calm for long, began to shake again.
“I hope this incident will stop soon.” Li Wenyuan sincerely hoped that the Milky Way would be peaceful, because he had many relics that he had yet to finish excavating. He also did not want the originally peaceful Milky Way to become chaotic.
If the war affected him, he might have no choice but to get involved. At that time, the efficiency of his excavation of the ruins would be greatly reduced.
However, not all civilizations in the Milky Way shared his hopes. There were many speculators and schemers.
Whether it was for revenge or for resources, all kinds of friction were stirred up, and the situation was gradually transforming into instability.
The sovereign kingdom of Seculus was an interstellar civilization that pursued a pro-foreign policy.
From the moment they looked at the starry sky, they firmly believed that the universe was not that cold. Even the expansion of the universe could not pull apart the hearts of every civilization.
Even though some people looked down on their naivety, it was undeniable that the enthusiasm of the sovereign of Seculus had indeed infected many civilizations.
Even an aggressor would ask himself from the bottom of his heart when he wanted to make a move on them: “Why would you do that? Is it just to satisfy your desire to expand and plunder?”
You could say that they had many friends, but you could also say that they had no friends at all.
A relationship maintained solely by passion was far less stable than a relationship maintained by interests, but at least the sovereign kingdom of Seculus was satisfied with the current situation.
They believed that as long as they continued to love forever, they would one day form a “Milky Way Family”.
“Leader! We found an ownerless pirate ship full of minerals at the border!” The leader of the sovereign kingdom of Seculus was still dealing with official matters when he heard the news from his assistant. He immediately revealed a happy expression.
“Is this the Milky Way repaying our kindness? We really lack this resource now. Hurry up and unload the minerals on it!”
He instructed his assistant, but after a while, a sad voice came from the other end.
“We just passed by a spaceship from the Keen Empire. They were clearly about to leave, but they suddenly turned back and said that the spaceship belonged to them… But we didn’t find any traces of the Keen Empire up there.”
When the leader heard the aggrieved voice, he was silent for a while before comforting him, “It’s okay. Since they said it’s theirs, then give it back to them. It’s good to make friends.”
“But…”
“Your work is quite hard. I’ll give you a paid leave. During this time, you can go to the resort planet to play for a while and have a good rest.”
The leader used a generous paid vacation to shut his assistant up, but before he left, the assistant still asked with confusion, “Leader, why do we always have to give in? Can’t we be tougher like the other civilizations?”
The leader was stunned for a moment before he replied,”.. If there is an absolute moral law in our society, it is to embrace the stars with a smile. The Milky Way is endless, and the birth of every civilization is unique. As long as we persevere, we will be understood by everyone sooner or later.”
His words were full of hope for the future. Even the assistant was infected by this emotion and said seriously,
“I understand. I will continue to walk down this path from now on!”
The assistant’s understanding made the leader feel deeply gratified, and this once again strengthened his path of spreading enthusiasm.
A few days later, the leader, who was still busy with official business, suddenly received an “abnormal notice” from the experts of the Ministry of Science.
“The signal of the resort galaxy has been cut off?” He frowned and quickly asked, “What’s going on?”
” Leader, it seems that someone has cut off the external communication there. The Defense Department has already sent a fleet to check.”
“Could it be pirates? If they are pirates, make sure the Defense Department does not attack them. Pirates usually ask for money. Give them as much as they want. It would be best if we could spend money to eliminate the disaster…”
Although the leader had told the experts this, he had a strange premonition that something terrible was about to happen.
After thinking about it, he felt that it was still not enough. He sent another message to the Defense Department, asking them to hurry over.
Then, he sat back at his desk. He could not calm down no matter what. The anxiety made him extremely uneasy. He looked at the communication device beside him every few seconds.
Suddenly, there was a sound from the communication device. The leader rushed over and answered the call instantly.
“Hello? How was it? Was it pirates? How much do they want?”
However, the sound on the other end was very noisy. There were occasional sharp whistles and explosions, and the background was filled with all kinds of crying and screaming.
He immediately realized that something was wrong. He looked at the message on his communicator and realized that it was from his assistant who was on leave.
“Hey, hey! Are you alright? What’s going on over there? What’s wrong with the resort planet?”
He asked a few questions in a row, but he never heard an answer. This made his bad feeling stronger and stronger.
After a long time, the assistant’s weak voice came, as if he was seriously injured and about to die.
“Leader, I see a light in the sky – a very, very bright light, almost reaching here… Should I embrace it too?”
This was the assistant’s last words. The next moment, there was only a series of buzzing sounds in the communication device. It was as if something had hit that place, causing the life on the other side to enter another world forever.
The leader’s pupils constricted, and he began to frantically call out to the resort galaxy, but all he received was static.
In the end, the communication was connected to the spaceship of the Defense Department. They arrived at the holiday star system and understood what had happened there.
“Leader, I need to tell you a piece of sad news… The holiday planet has been blown to smithereens. There are no signs of life…”
At this moment, the leader seemed to have lost all his strength and collapsed to the ground.
His movements even knocked over the ink on the desk.
The blood-like red liquid stained the documents on the table. The lines of words that represented “pro-foreigner” also became blurry, just like the leader’s heart that was gradually turning cold..
