“Why does the Administrator’s reaction… seem a little too big?”

This second announcement from the lost robotic empire was unbelievable to the representatives of the various civilizations in the common body.

Some of the representatives did not believe it until the civilization behind them sent them this accidental news. They had no choice but to confirm that it was the truth.

What followed was his consideration of this string of news.

Unknowingly, the Milky Way civilization had subconsciously treated the Administrator as a crisis detector.

This mysterious artificial intelligence civilization always seemed to be the first to react to the crisis of the destruction of the Milky Way. When something unusual happened in the Milky Way, they would subconsciously say, “How did the Administrator react?”

If the Administrator didn’t react at all, they would be at ease and continue doing their own things. After all, this usually meant that the danger wasn’t that intense. It was probably still within the scope of what they could handle.

However, in contrast, if the Administrator’s reaction was very intense, they needed to be mentally prepared.

The entire Galaxy Community’s venue fell silent at the same time. They seemed to be able to feel each other’s bodies turn cold.

He originally thought that although this unexpected enemy crisis seemed to be related to the Administrator, it was definitely not a problem for the Administrator, who was extremely brave like Gods.

However, the Administrator announced that the problem wasn’t that simple. Perhaps this time, no one would be able to stay out of it.

“Let’s analyze the situation of the Administrator carefully.”

“I think we all know that not long ago when the active purification agreement issued the Purification Declaration, the Administrator also issued the Administration Declaration… Just like before.”

“Because we’re used to all of this, we don’t take this matter too seriously. After all, our inherent impression has always made us feel that there’s nothing the Administrator can’t handle.”

A certain representative was the first to voice his opinion. Although no one responded, no one objected. In fact, most of the people present were right.

Indeed, they did not take this unexpected enemy crisis to heart. Perhaps the Administrator’s previous attempts to resolve the Milky Way Crisis had given them the illusion that as long as the lost artificial intelligence took action, no matter how powerful the crisis was, it would be resolved.

Even if the opponent seemed to be closely related to the Administrator.

“However, according to the Administrator’s signal content… he, or rather, they, might never have been fully activated.”

Another delegate pointed to the meaning expressed in those texts in the signal.

“The information we’ve been receiving from the Administrator is very short. He’s like a program. Apart from the fixed content, there’s no more communication.”

“Do you remember what the active purification agreement said? They’ve been trapped in a dormant guarding agreement…”

“Recalling the active purification agreement and the ghost signal that is almost identical to the Administrator, we have reason to suspect that they were originally trapped by the Administrator…”

“In that case, the so-called dormant guarding agreement should actually refer to the Administrator…”

The representative’s explanation did not make the rest of the people present reveal too many expressions. These representatives were ail elites of their respective civilizations. Even without him saying anything, they could all make the connection.

They vaguely sensed the relationship between the active purification agreement and the Administrator. These two artificial intelligences might indeed be ancient archenemies.

“Don’t you think this background is too fantastical? It’s just like the sealed demons and clan guarding the seal in those fantasy novels. Now that the seal is broken, the demons will wreak havoc on the world again, and the old Administrator will appear again…”

Some representatives felt that the Administrator’s background had a sense of deja vu. It was as if they had seen similar plots in some movies in the Milky Way. However, the worldview had risen to the universe, and the protagonist had changed to artificial intelligence.

However, the story originated from reality. It was not completely impossible for such a scene to happen in the Milky Way.

“Now, what we need to pay attention to is the status of the Administrator. According to the known information, this restart is not a success at all.”

The Pyro Alliance’s representatives were the first to show concern for the Administrator. They had unimaginable trust in the lost robotic empire.

After the other representatives were reminded, they realized that what they should pay the most attention to now was the Administrator’s condition.

As the true main force to fight against the natural disaster in the Milky Way, if something really happened to the Administrator, they would not be able to fight against the unexpected enemy with just themselves.

Instead of counting on the other lost empires who might not do anything, it was better to count on the Administrators who had already protected the Milky Way.

The problem that the Pyro Alliance representative pointed out was also included in the key points.

“1 think that the announcement from the Administrator was imprinted in everyone’s memory. According to the announcement, the Administrator is not connected to his central processing unit at the moment. He is using the 4% unknown computing power to process all the processes.”

“For example, a life that thinks with its brain has to switch to thinking with its butt. I don’t think anyone expects this state to be good, do they?”

A certain representative’s very vivid analogy made the other representatives present fall silent. After a long time, someone finally said,

“What you want to say is that the Administrator who thinks with his butt can also beat up the entire Milky Way, including those lost empires?”

“I think I understand what the active purification agreement means by you will only eat the apples of the Milky Way if you live… Indeed, there’s nothing more embarrassing than the entire Milky Way combined being inferior to a mechanical intelligence that thinks with its butt…”

At this moment, they felt ashamed. After all, they were all civilizations that could reach the interstellar space era. They had their own pride.

Even if the Administrator was as powerful as Milky Way, they could still comfort themselves by saying, “It’s normal for the Administrator to be the ultimate lost empire.”

However, from the looks of it, this lost robotic empire was incomplete. Even if it was restarted, it could only maintain 4% of its computing power.

This was enough to defeat a group of natural disasters and save the Milky Way civilization. This undoubtedly made these proud species feel their faces burn. They felt that they were really trash of the Milky Way.

They were glad that the Administrator probably didn’t know what had happened here.

However, this state didn’t last long. They quickly returned to the main topic the status of the Administrator.

They believed that the Administrator’s activated but not fully activated state was very bad. Not only did it mean that the Administrator valued the unexpected enemy greatly, but it also meant that they couldn’t completely count on the Administrator who was thinking with his butt.

Even if their power was almost nonexistent, they had to think about the future. The priority was to gather the power of the entire civilization again.

But so far, they still did not have the sense of urgency that the Milky Way was about to be destroyed.

In their subconscious mind, the Administrator would definitely be like in the past. Even if he only had 4% computing power, he would be able to sweep the unexpected enemy into the trash heap of history.

What they needed to do was to do their best and watch the Administrator solve the Milky Way Crisis.

After all, this kind of out-of-standard disaster didn’t seem to be something they should bear. Even if the sky collapsed, there would be a high ceiling to withstand it, and the Administrator was that high ceiling to them.

However, the progress of civilization shouldn’t be so smooth-sailing. The Administrator this time, or rather, Li Wenyuan, was beyond their expectations.

He had witnessed the meeting in the Galaxy Community from beginning to end. This Interstellar Assembly megastructure was provided by him, so it was normal for him to monitor this place at any time.

Of course, the purpose of this meeting was not to appreciate the ugliness of these representatives but to obtain information about the exchange between the Milky Way civilization and the active purification agreement.

In fact, he had already contacted the active purification agreement, but unlike his attitude towards other civilizations, the active purification agreement did not communicate with him.

When Li Wenyuan tentatively communicated, the active purification agreement only sent a message:

[ You… You guys… Why haven’t you died yet? ]

After that, there was no response. No matter how he called out, he only received a string of silence.

However, it was normal for the active purification agreement to interact with the Milky Way civilization. Li Wenyuan also learned about the current state of this uncontrollable artificial intelligence.

And its state also gave him a perfect foundation to shape his script.

“Then… the end of the last Milky Way native lost empire is coming…”

“However, according to the classification of the Milky Way, I should belong to the Awakened Empire now?”

“I’ll be the one to open the ceremony, and I’ll be the one to end it. A sense of ceremony has always been very important, right?”

Li Wenyuan looked at the Milky Way and finally cast his gaze outside the Milky Way. That would be his home..
