Chapter 311: The Broken Galaxy Guardian

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

The news of the mysterious alien civilization invading the Imperium quickly spread in the upper three spiral arms.

The Skywalker Empire was the only civilization in this world. They had the same programming and signal station, so there was always a way to spread the news.

Li Wenyuan also did not block the transmission of these signals. What the people of the Skywalker Empire thought had nothing to do with him. He was only here to collect the necessary data.

His fleet could be seen in the most prosperous galaxy of the Empire. As for the galaxies with large amounts of data, he paid special attention to them.

He first hacked into the data center of the Empire’s mother planet and learned that the civilization that ruled the upper three spiral arms was called the Skywalker Empire.

However, just as he was about to look up the history of this civilization, he found that the relevant information was empty, with only some incomplete data.

Not only that but the science and technology that were extremely important to the development of a civilization had also disappeared. It was as if they had never existed.

“That’s impossible. Without some things, it’s impossible to become an interstellar civilization…”

He didn’t believe that the Empire didn’t have such technology. Therefore, he continued to search in detail and finally found the damaged data in a place called the repair room on the planet. Most of the data could not be recovered.

After a series of analyses, Li Wenyuan understood what was going on.

Not long ago, a powerful figure named Duke Stone spilled tea on the computers in the core data city.

Who would have thought that these computers weren’t waterproof? As a result, a large-scale short-circuit instantly caused the entire core data city to be filled with smoke. Soon, an unprecedented fire broke out.

Logically speaking, a computer couldn’t cause a large-scale short-circuit in such a core area. The equipment used to store data should also be made of non-flammable materials, and the fire protection system would kill it in the cradle the moment Mars appeared.

However, no matter how complete the blueprint was, it couldn’t beat the complicated human heart.

The former core data city had undergone a large-scale relocation to make way for the ever-expanding palace. It was now moved to a new location.

The most famous and experienced engineers in the empire were responsible for the planning. The budget used was also the highest, comparable to the construction of a new palace.

However, the engineer felt that it wouldn’t be a big deal for him to eat a little of such a large sum of money.

As a result, the money that was already insufficient became lesser after being distributed layer by layer.

Everyone thought that they would only take a little, and no one would notice. This resulted in the completion of the core data city being only one-tenth of the estimated cost.

However, this was the interstellar era after all. Even if it was built with inferior materials, it still had good capabilities. Moreover, there was no one in this data center, which allowed the core data city to be safe for a long time.

It was until a noble who was originally frivolous poured away the unpleasant tea without any self-awareness, which led to the disaster.

After all, who would have thought that an interstellar civilization that had existed for millions of years would not have waterproof equipment?

“Fortunately, they were the only civilization in the upper three spiral arms. Otherwise, they would have been killed long ago in a place like the Milky Way… It’s better to say that it’s because their foundation is good that they haven’t been destroyed after being fossilized for so long…”

Li Wenyuan was a little speechless. He did not expect that the information he was looking for would be burned away by the fire.

If that was the case, he might have to spend some effort and use some other methods to find the content he needed.

However, just as he was about to do so, he suddenly found some clues from the new information that had been released after the fire. It was a news article that publicized Duke Stone’s memorial to the ancient battlefield.”

“Ancient battlefield? The name of this place sounds like a story, and the main character is a person who has appeared many times – Duke Stone. In addition, this time is also interesting. It just so happens that I’m coming over from the wormhole…”

After confirming the information, Li Wenyuan decided to take a look at the ancient battlefield galaxy. As for the location, he would get it from Duke Stone.

“Coincidentally, I remember that the Duke’s carriage is at the exit of the wormhole. They probably haven’t left yet.”

Similar to his decision, there were also people in the Imperium who wanted to go to the ancient battlefield, but their purpose was to save the country.

These people were all dignitaries of the Imperium and knew the secrets of ancient times. They knew what exactly was on the ancient battlefield.

After realizing that the invader Li Wenyuan did not seem to be interested in exterminating them, these people’s thoughts became active. They wanted to use the ancient battlefield to show off again.

At the first moment, they drove toward the ancient battlefield with ease.

Not long after, Li Wenyuan also warped there and coincidentally bumped into the Empire’s aristocrat spaceship that was seeking to save the country.

“It isn’t an Observation Terminal?”

The moment he arrived, Li Wenyuan didn’t care about the spaceship. Instead, he was checking if a string of mysterious light beams had also arrived here to determine the function of the prediction interface.

However, he didn’t detect it. Either the prediction interface was wrong, or this wasn’t the Observation Terminal. He was more inclined to the latter.

“If it wasn’t for the Observation Terminal… That would be… The Chronicler?”

Li Wenyuan didn’t pay attention to the Empire’s dignitary spaceship. Instead, he flew directly toward the only planet in the galaxy that was still preserved.

The surface of the planet was so damaged that he couldn’t even tell that it was an Al Planet at first. However, because he had come into contact with the Variant Terminal in the lower three spiral arms before, he confirmed that it was the Variant Terminal after scanning it layer by layer.

In other words, this dilapidated Al Planet was probably the Galaxy Empire, the Chronicler, which had once triggered the prosperity of the civilization here.

However, it was impossible to maintain the most basic signal broadcast here. Until he approached the control center, Li Wenyuan could not detect any signal.

It was only when he got close to the control center that he read a string of information that was almost unreadable.

As the string of information was being read, the drones that were approaching the control center slowed down as if they were afraid of disturbing the old man and causing his decaying body to collapse.

Li Wenyuan gradually fell silent. Although he was a human, his current state was that of artificial intelligence. After seeing this machine that had been working for countless years, it was inevitable that his heart would feel heavy. But the next moment, a spaceship descended from the sky and plowed a long ditch on the ground before stopping in front of the control center.

A person also hurried down from the spaceship. It was a dignitary of a certain empire.

He rushed to the control center before Li Wenyuan and began to wantonly accuse Li Wenyuan of the atrocities committed by the foreign invader and asked the control center to help them.

“We know that you definitely have a way! Didn’t you help Duke Stone last time? This time, it must be!”

“For the survival of our civilization, you will do it, right? Even if it means sacrificing everything, just like… A million years ago….”
