Rival, this is nothing unusual in the galaxy.

Civilization always wants to move upward, and having a destined opponent is a good way to provide the people with the impetus to move forward, whether economically, technologically, or militarily.

And the sense of superiority and self-confidence brought about by surpassing old enemies is also an important means to improve the cohesion of the people.

Therefore, the civilizations in the galaxy will more or less have one or two rivals, even if they are just "playing house", and there is no actual confrontation.

But there are also civilizations that are real "rivals" to each other.

Once their war breaks out, there will probably be no second outcome other than the demise of one side, such as now......

Tens of billions of devotees are gathering on the most important planet of the Watchmen, the Sky Temple, looking at the sky with serious faces.

Although their home planet is the "Celestial Constellation", in the minds of these believers, the importance and sacredness of the "Sky Temple" is significantly more important.

The vast majority of ascetics will never leave the "Sky Temple" even in their lifetime, but will devote themselves to their practice.

In contrast to the people of other lost empires, who were always indulging in pleasures, the people of the "watchmen" still retained their own labor practices.

It may be to exercise psionic powers, or it may be that their doctrine requires it.

The "watchmen" with these hard-working believers seem to be the least "lost" lost empire.

As for why so many people are gathered here, it is because their high priest has found the culprit who defiled the Holy Land!

Each of them was indignant at this and was about to be provoked into extreme emotions until now.

And the high priest was still sitting in the temple, and he didn't go to some place like a high platform to announce it to the believers.

Their psionic energy connected to each other, and he didn't need to use this means to attract attention.

After a moment of deliberation, he suddenly tapped the scepter in his hand.

However, he saw that the originally normal sky of the "Sky Temple" quickly turned pale purple, and the rich Zelo gas was surging in the clouds, looking like the virtual planet that Li Wenyuan had seen before.

But this is only a façade, the sacred Sky Temple will not be swallowed up by the Void, and this seemingly massive change is only a means for the "watchmen" to peek into the past.

They had seen the Ancient Apocalypse in a similar way, but only for a brief moment, and the picture was extremely blurry.

But even so, they paid the "price of history" for the lives of many psionic masters.

But this time, the cohesion of all the believers was higher than ever, and the huge amount of spiritual power that was induced by the spirit did not even need to be deliberately mobilized to allow them to see what had happened not long ago.

The purple gas in the atmosphere continued to tumble, but gradually calmed down, and finally formed a mirror-like sky, reflecting every believer in the Sky Temple.

Subsequently, the faint picture gradually emerged in the "mirror".

There is a jewel-like planet standing in orbit, the "purest treasure" of the Holy Land, which has not yet become a highly toxic planet.

An inconspicuous ship hurried by, swaggering to leave behind what looked like a large capsule-like atomic clock.

Then the screen quickly flips to the "Pure Jewel" not long ago, when the explosion caused by the atomic clock completely destroys the surface of the planet, leaving only a mess.

At this point, the mirror-like sky slowly changed back to its original state, but every believer fell silent.

Some of them didn't know who the ship came from, but the elders were awakened to ancient memories and passed on through psionic links, which were finally engraved into the hearts of all believers.

It was their ancient nemesis, an ugly race that had defiled consciousness and flesh with machinery. And this time, they will reignite this ancient hatred.

There was an eerie silence in the entire "Sky Temple" planet, but sensing the increasingly violent mental fluctuations of the believers, the High Priest smiled.

The more depressed it is, the more terrifying it is when it erupts. After making a pact with the beings in the Shroud, he decided it was time to take the long-stagnant civilization to a higher level.

The expansion of the Wardens was halted, and they simply sent a message to the Galactic public: "They will take revenge on the Far Travelers", and then there was a lull, just as they had before the expansion.

But will the enmity so easily be extinguished?

Although the "Far Traveler", which was originally in a state of expansion, did not respond, it also stopped expanding, and seemed to be brewing something.

The Chur Federation, a criminal enterprise that had taken refuge in the "Far Travelers" early on, was in a state of extreme unease, realizing that something might be happening, but now they had no choice.

The whole galaxy suddenly became peaceful, as it had been before the storm.

Except for the civilizations that have already started fighting, the rest of the civilizations have invariably stopped testing each other.

Even if there is an abnormality in the country, these civilizations have tried to free up their hands to carefully observe the situation in the galaxy.

And the "curator interstellar city-state", whose main means of income is the sale of various knowledge, has also been broken through the threshold during this time.

Countless civilizations have asked about the history of the "Watchmen" and the "Far Travelers", but their payment has only received a series of "We Don't Know".

On the contrary, another archaeological civilization that was keen to excavate the past history and investigate various ancient ruins found any clues, but they did not inform other civilizations, but began to plan a grand plan to relocate their clans.

They don't want to be drawn into this galactic chaos.

In addition to these young civilizations, there is also a "Lost Empire" that is very concerned about the "Watchmen" and the "Far Travelers".

“…… Judging from the ancient battlefield discovered before, it is obvious that these two lost empires have a lot of trouble. The old feud looks like it's been ignited...... So when the time comes, there will be a galaxy-wide war? ”

Li Wenyuan looked at the old enemy announcement issued by the "watchman" with great headaches, and felt heavy about the "calm before the storm".

He felt that his plans to explore the galaxy were about to be disrupted.

However, Grey Wind didn't have much interest in this matter, and the wars of other civilizations were the most boring thing for her.

But knowing that Li Wenyuan didn't want to participate in these messes, she suddenly came up with a ghost idea and said:

"Why don't you move into my 'distant cluster'? As long as the stargate is closed, it has nothing to do with us no matter how chaotic the fight outside is! If you were in there, maybe it wouldn't be so boring? ”

"Not so far...... I'm counting on learning as much as I can about the history of these two lost empires during this time. ”

"Okay......" Grey Wind froze, but then there was an interesting thought:

"Why don't you declare an 'Ancient Nemesis' too? Target...... How am I? You see, two different robots lost the empire, a very fatalistic feeling, right? ”

“…… You're such a clever little ghost, it's really a shame to let you live in the 'Distant Star Cluster'......" Li Wenyuan couldn't laugh or cry, but he also knew that Gray Wind was just talking and playing.

And so the time passed quietly. In the process of searching for human relics, Li Wenyuan has not been less than exploring the history of the lost empires.

But these lost empires have forgotten their origins, and trying to find information in the vast sea of stars is tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack.

The final clue of all this eventually points to the remains of humanity.

He could only pray that he would find the lost history in the ruins.
