Chapter 409: Ren Milu

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

Nebulas were common environments in the universe, and there were differences in size. The smaller ones might only be the size of an ordinary star system, while the larger ones could encompass hundreds or thousands of star systems.

Due to the concentration of interstellar space matter in the nebula being too large compared to the vacuum universe, it could block the transmission of various waves. Ordinary detection methods would not work in such a place.

For some early interstellar civilizations, the nebula was a natural secret base. As the detection waves outside could not reach the depths of the nebula, these interstellar civilizations could hide many important facilities inside. They could even transform the planets in these places into secret bases in hopes of catching them off guard one day.

However, this could only be used against early interstellar civilizations that did not have many detection methods. To the interstellar civilizations in the middle and late stages, the nebula was just a beautiful cosmic landscape on a space scale. They had many methods to detect the interior of the nebula.

Li Wenyuan’s spaceship arrived at the Storm Origin Galaxy. This galaxy was located in a nebula that the Exiled called the Great Storm, and the Storm Origin happened to be in the core area of this nebula.

In the records of the Exiled, a considerable number of supernova explosions had occurred in the Great Storm nebula during recorded observations. The matter thrown out by the star explosions became the main component of the nebula.

As for Storm Origin, it was the Exiled’s first supernova explosion in the Great Storm nebula after careful testing.

Furthermore, the Exiled believed that the supernova explosion of Storm Origin had caused an unknown chain reaction, causing the other stars to explode. This unknown chain reaction had always been a mystery among the Exiled. However, even so, the Exiled still chose this place as the final section of the Hell Defense Line. The reason was that after the supernova explosion ended, the celestial body environment here was already quite stable. It was very suitable for building space fortresses, and the nebula could more or less play a defensive role.

At this moment, the space fortress of the Exiled detected the signal that the Silent spaceship had appeared here. Instantly, all the sensor monitors were aimed at the glowing spaceship.

Li Wenyuan’s spaceship still maintained the Silent spaceship’s disguise. Even the signal was the same. This time, he didn’t continue to use the invisible technology provided by the Silent because he felt that it was no longer necessary.

The garrison of the Exiled here paid considerable attention to the uninvited arrival of this ally. After all, they were not truly allies, and there was no agreement for them to form an alliance. It was all thanks to a kind of coordination that they had been able to live in harmony until now.

However, without a clear order from their superiors, they could only maintain the highest level of vigilance and pay attention to each other’s every move.

Li Wenyuan ignored the other party’s vigilance. After entering the edge of the galaxy and confirming that the detector could cover the entire galaxy, he did not move and quickly scanned the information in the galaxy.

It wasn’t until more and more spaceships of the Exiled began to approach the Storm Origin Galaxy that Li Wenyuan stopped scanning because he found the anomaly here.

“I see…This is actually the origin of the scribe? At the same time, it’s the origin

of the Extractor?”

In the thick interstellar space dust and some stagnant celestial bodies, Li Wenyuan found the corpse of a bacteria.

These bacteria corpses did not decay in space. Instead, they magically maintained their pre-death state and showed the characteristics of thermophilic in their analysis.

This coincided with the Infinite Divine Armaments’ description of their Creator. The Extractor was indeed a group of thermophilic bacteria.

Perhaps this alone couldn’t confirm that these bacteria corpses were Extractors, but Li Wenyuan found more evidence on some asteroids.

Those asteroids seemed to be the surface of rocks that had been peeled off by huge material jets after the supernova explosion. These rocks had been captured by other planets during their flight. The smaller ones had become part of the planetary rings, while the larger ones had become free comets. It was obvious that the Exiled didn’t conduct a detailed scan of these things. The Hell Defense Line was so long, so it was impossible for them to spend more effort on such matters. The general scan of nothing dangerous came to an end. At most, they would be concerned about places that were obviously abnormal like the Wound.

Nebulas were not uncommon. To them, they were not an anomaly that they needed to pay attention to.

But on these asteroids, Li Wenyuan found something related to the Extractor and even the Scribe.

Related to the Extractor were some alloys embedded in the interior of the asteroids. This alloy was impossible to appear under natural conditions. At the same time, there were characters engraved on this alloy. It could be determined that it was a man-made product.

After comparing the characters, Li Wenyuan confirmed that they were the characters used by the Infinite Divine Armaments. From this, he determined that these alloy fragments were related to the Extractor.

The contents of those characters were: Friendly Relations Monument.

This alloy seemed to have originally belonged to a monument, but it had been torn apart by material jets in the supernova explosion and embedded in the rock.

Li Wenyuan had found many such monument fragments. There were more than 3,000 pieces of various sizes. Even after piecing them together, there were still many missing pieces, but he could still deduce the content of the monument words.

That was probably when the Extractor was still active. This group of thermophilic bacteria was born in the space around this star and began to absorb a large amount of the star’s heat.

In the process, they encountered a civilization called Ren Milu and communicated with it to a certain extent.

Originally, Li Wenyuan was still thinking about what this civilization with a strange pronunciation was about, but the following introduction made him realize that Ren Milu was actually the Creator of the contingency agreement. These monument words mentioned that Ren Milu was trying to create a unique artificial intelligence. For this reason, they were constantly searching for races with special thinking patterns in the universe, such as various hive consciousnesses.

On the other hand, bacteria clusters like Extractor had similar collective consciousness patterns, but they were different. Their individual bacteria could not produce consciousness, but after the bacteria number reached a certain number, collective consciousness could be born through incomprehensible chemical reactions.

Ren Milu was very interested in the Extractor’s way of thinking. After obtaining the Extractor’s approval, they began researching them and subsequently established a very intimate relationship.

The Infinite Divine Armaments were also created at that time. The Extractor provided the requirements, and Ren Milu was in charge of construction. Finally, he gave it to the Extractor for free as a thank-you gift for the research. This monument was erected on a planet in the Storm Origin Galaxy with the gift of the Infinite Divine Armaments.

The contents of the monument ended here. Although there were not many parts related to Ren Milu, it was enough for Li Wenyuan to think that this civilization was the civilization that had created the contingency agreement.

Not to mention how many civilizations could be in the same era as the Extractor, just the requirement of trying to create an artificial intelligence pointed to the Creator of the contingency agreement. The civilization strength that could design the Infinite Divine Armaments was definitely not ordinary. Unfortunately, most of the things related to the Extractor here had turned into dust in the universe with time and supernova explosions. Li Wenyuan guessed that the abnormal supernova explosion in the Great Storm nebula might also be related to the Extractor.

Although this group of thermophilic bacteria would absorb stellar energy and cause the stars to be unstable, they would definitely prevent the stars from erupting in advance while they were still alive. This could be considered as stabilizing the star state.

After they committed suicide, this unstable and stable state also collapsed, creating a series of chain supernova explosions.

However, apart from the content related to the Extractor, Li Wenyuan also discovered something related to the Scribe.

They were also alloy fragments embedded in the asteroids. At first, he thought of them as relics of civilization fragments of the Extractor.

However, after some simple measurements, Li Wenyuan confirmed that the era of these fragments was too late compared to the Extractor. They were from a completely different era.

As more and more fragments were found, Li Wenyuan gradually pieced together the content on it. It was a Doomsday Prophecy Monument..
