Chapter 290: The Void Realm Reboot Plan
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Li Wenyuan always felt that humans seemed to have some kind of metaphysical toxic health, and the civilizations that they thought highly of did not end up well.
After saving all the useful data in the Observation Terminal into the database, he did what he was supposed to do.
It was a coincidence that the Observation Terminal and the so-called Fallen One’s Gods were in the same place, but the coincidence was probably not that simple.
Li Wenyuan guessed that the Ascendant civilization must have known about the functions and usage of the Observation Terminal. That was why the Ascendants who woke up from the cold chose to come here.
Such a place that monitored the entire galaxy would be a key location for their great cause of revival. The only thing that did not puzzle him was how the survivors managed to use the Observation Terminal.
Even he needed the help of the central processing unit to fully extract and analyze the data compressed by the Observation Terminal How did the orphans of the Ascendant civilization do it?
Hence, the meticulous scanning began again. He believed that the prediction interface was pointing to this place, and it was not difficult to completely scan a planet.
As he expected, he detected a life signal in a hidden place on the planet.
There was only one.
The drone didn’t make any sound when it was flying, but the hidden signal obviously found her.
Therefore, she did not continue hiding. Instead, she walked out of a complex metal ruin.
With the help of the drone’s detector, Li Wenyuan confirmed that this was a species of Ascendant. It was not a terrifying creature that looked like it had been skinned, but an ancient Ascendant.
Her expression was calm, as if she had already foreseen the arrival of this day. Therefore, she opened her arms and faced the sky, as if she was waiting for the arrival of destruction.
“She doesn’t look very smart. What is she doing?”
Gray Wind had followed Li Wenyuan to the Observation Terminal. She certainly wouldn’t miss such an interesting place. Naturally, she also noticed this strange Ascendant and expressed her full curiosity about her inexplicable behavior.
“She probably mistook us for intruders? After all, she seems to be the one who planned the initial attack…”
Li Wenyuan replied and let a drone fly down. The equipment on it directly projected the words of the Ascendant civilization in front of the Ascendant.
[ Void Realm Reboot Plan ]
The content projected in the language of their civilization made the Ascendant’s expression change. He said in disbelief, “This is…This is a plan that only the great priests know about. My telepathy tells me that there are no more priests in this galaxy…Who exactly is the person who has been called from the top?”
The other party didn’t attack right away but instead used keywords in an attempt to communicate. This made this Ascendant’s heart filled with doubts, but at the same time, it made her less nervous.
Because from the looks of it, the other party did not seem to want to hurt her.
As for Li Wenyuan, after experiencing the series of events in the brain in a vat and obtaining the technology of the prediction interface it was difficult for him to harbor any ill feelings towards the civilization of the Ascendants.
Even if they were the culprits behind the tragedy of the galaxy, the civilization was still trying to make up for it. Even if most of the civilization had gone mad, there were still those who tried to preserve the tinder.
At present, he did not know why this so-called God instigated the Fallen Ones to attack him, but he guessed that it was most likely related to the Void Realm Reboot Plan.
This was also the attempt to restart the civilization process plan that the brain in a vat mentioned. Just from the name, one could tell what the essence of this plan was.
After hearing the Ascendant’s question, Li Wenyuan let the drone continue to project the text.
[ A traveler passing by here used the identification code: the Administrator ]
He had inherited his name from the Milky Way as always, even though he no longer seemed to need to perform the duties of the Administrator.
“Ad… Administrator…” This Ascendant carefully savored the name, as though she was still trying to understand the meaning of Administrator.
After a while, she said again, “All of you… Aren’t you a mechanical invader?”
She already had an answer in her heart. After saying this, she continued,
“Alright, I was being presumptuous. The moment you were willing to communicate with me, you had already proved my mistake…”
“I no longer have a name. Perhaps ‘The Last Ascendant’ is the most suitable name for someone like me.”
“The fact that all of you are aware of this vanished plan might be one of the prophecies. I’m sorry for attacking you. If there’s anything 1 can do for you, please let me know. I’ll do my best.”
As she spoke, her eyes dimmed.
“After all… This is the only thing 1 can do.”
Li Wenyuan was a little curious about what this last Ascendant said. From her tone, it seemed that she was the only one left in this batch of hibernating people.
She didn’t hide this matter and said directly, “There were a total of 1.2 million people hibernating with me. At that time, there were nearly ten billion Ascendants.
“But when we woke up, the number had been halved. Although all the frozen were successfully unfrozen, the galaxy was left with only a group of bloodthirsty fallen people.”
“We have sadly discovered that we are no match for the Fallen Ones, who have evolved from life and death. Therefore, we can only hide in the dark and use our remaining spiritual insights to hint at them killing each other…”
“But this is too inefficient. We need to move in fear and carefully find a hiding place to avoid being discovered…”
“In the end, following the guidance of the memories we inherited from the ancient priests, we arrived here, this planet filled with mechanical aura.”
“The priest warned the civilization to use this planetary machine with caution because it could lead to extinction. However, we had no other choice but to use this machine that radiated across the galaxy to give hints to all the Fallen Ones.”
“However, our weak technological reserves are completely unable to use it. We discovered that what we lack the most is computing power…”
“It is obviously impossible to study related technology from scratch, so we adopted the most extreme method, a psionic ritual.”
At this point, her expression did not change much. Combined with her situation of being alone, Li Wenyuan had already roughly guessed what this method was.
“The rest of them have erased their self-awareness and become empty shells. All of the souls were added to my body, allowing me to barely be able to use this planetary machine by myself.”
“This process is irreversible. Therefore, the current me is the last Ascendant.”
“I carry the souls of 1.2 million people and the expectations of a trillion people. However, 1 can only reach this step… In my dreams, I would instigate the Fallen One to kill each other and reduce their numbers as much as possible.”
“I was the one who led them to attack you. I hope you can kill them all so that there will be no living thing in this galaxy.”
“In that case, we can at least return this place to its original state…”
The last Ascendant’s voice did not carry any emotion, but there was hope in her last sentence. She did hope that the Administrator would be able to clean up this galaxy.
After all, it was their sin, and they hoped to get rid of it without leaving a trace.
It was a last resort, because the void realm had already been shattered, and the high concentration of psionic power would cause intense hallucinations that could even scare single-celled organisms to death.
The most likely consequence of doing so was to turn this place into a dead galaxy.
And this was obviously the opposite of humanity’s hope of having more companions in the future.
The road ahead might be very dangerous, and the more companions he had, the better. Everything that the Ascendant had tried to save had already proved that their souls were not filthy.
Because of this, Li Wenyuan once again projected the Void Realm Reboot Plan in front of the last Ascendant.
“Do you want to help me? However, that is impossible, as it requires a deep understanding of sub-space, as well as extraordinary psionic research.”
“Moreover, there is one important thing that this place lacks. That is the recycling ability of the void realm…”
“We’re guessing that some kind of life form born in the void realm can do this, but we’ve never seen such an existence before. This is something that only exists in our theories…”
The more Li Wenyuan listened, the more he felt that he seemed to fulfill all these conditions.
Subspace technology aside, he was familiar with it. Even if he wasn’t familiar with Presolin, he would be familiar with it.
He had also studied psionic powers. To be more precise, humans had studied them. The average idealistic lost empire might not have as much research as them.
As for the last lifeform born from the void realm, if he hadn’t mentioned it this time, he would have almost forgotten that he really had it.
He slapped his nonexistent thigh with his consciousness and looked at the ring that was still motionless in the sub-space through the Tiangang Battleship.
This big ring that he had caught during the destruction of the Watcher’s lost empire came in handy.
Far away in the Milky Way void realm, the End of Reincarnation also trembled inexplicably. The huge ring-shaped body that had just been rebuilt collapsed into the Czero nebula again and surged back into the depths of the void realm..
