Looking at the notes in his hand, it seemed different from the original, as if the owner of the notes deliberately copied this version.

There's a big difference between making notes on the fly and transcribing.

Old Green also confirmed this, saying that he would just jot down a couple of keywords when taking notes and wouldn't write out complete sentences, or write so neatly.

He continued to turn the pages, and indeed, as they suspected, this village chief Green was someone who escaped from the Fairy Tale World. However, unlike their previous guess, he was not the King of the Silver Country in the Fairy Tale World but merely a student Mage.

An accidental entry into a certain secret realm led him to Hell, where he saw the humans on the brink of extinction at that time.

During that time, he was accidentally captured by a strange creature and returned to the Fairy Tale World, which finally led him to understand the connection between the two worlds. Therefore, he searched for the original secret realm, almost losing his life, and returned to Hell.

Since then, he has been residing in Hell, using his limited Magic knowledge and plant cultivation skills to lead the people of this world to survive in Hell's environment.

The rest is not very important information, just that the content of the notes should have been started a hundred years ago, but the notes look new, as if they were only used a few years ago.

"This should be another way I want to ensure I don't forget, copying past records periodically, just like recopying the poems my wife wrote for me from time to time," Old Green explained.

Xue Dili roughly flipped through and then asked, "According to his records, the first time he crossed back to Hell was when he was about 17... Old Green, what were you doing at 17?"

Xue Dili also realized something, that he seemingly never dreamed of Old Green's childhood memories. Xue Dili previously thought this was normal since many people tend to forget memories before their teens as they age.

Especially children who had smooth sailing in their early years, their memories before middle school may be blurred like looking at clouds through frosted glass.

And Old Green is nearly two hundred years old.

"Before 17? My memory is vague. I think I was just a traveling student Mage, and I don't remember the rest...," Old Green suddenly paused, looking at the brief note about village chief Green before age 17.

Before 17, the village chief was also just a traveling student Mage.

"If I'm not mistaken, it was precisely the first time he crossed back to Hell Star that you were separated. The Fairy Tale World fixed this bug, and you were separated, replacing the original 'Green', and he became a virus of the Fairy Tale World, not allowed to enter, except through a strange creature for 'identity verification' again," Xue Dili said.

"And further guessing, his second departure from Hell could have created the current Silver Country's King."

Old Green wanted to argue, but he couldn't speak for a long time. Ever since they arrived in the Silver City and saw the Silver Princess's slumbering Crystal Coffin, he knew Xue Dili's guess was likely correct.

After the Silver Princess left the Fairy Tale World, a new enchanted version of her immediately appeared in the Silver City, cursed by the Witch, and all evidence pointed to him just being the village chief's doppelgänger.

The content following was not very useful information, mainly about how he utilized Magic to demonstrate Miracles among people in Hell, thus gaining leadership, cultivating mushrooms that can be planted even in Hell, and teaching the survivors how to collect water.

It even recorded why they treated circuit boards and plastic bags as weapons, because for the Fungal Mat and strange creatures, items like circuit boards, plastic bags, and even synthetic clothes fall into the category of "trash" and need to be dealt with first.

So using a spear with plastic bags to pierce strange creatures had an effect similar to shoving a mop with filth into someone's face.

It was now clear to Xue Dili why both guards and scavengers tied odd things to their weapons. They all knew the strange creatures couldn't be killed; those weapons were essentially cards to bug the strange creatures, forcing them to execute the "trash processing" task first.

Reading this, both Xue Dili and Old Green were a bit speechless, but life always finds a way. Xue Dili was puzzled at how a group of mere mortals managed to barely survive against strange creatures, most of which were at Tier One or above.

Considering Old Green's Tier Four strength, and the Silver Witch he saw in the Fairy Tale World also had Tier Four strength, it wouldn't be surprising if the Fairy Tale World spawned a Tier Five Great Demon King or something similar.

After finishing the notes, Xue Dili opened another ledger-like item.

Initially, Xue Dili thought it would record numerous support in and out records, but upon opening it, he was utterly stunned.

"In the Year 162, this year 56 people were assimilated by strange creatures, 87 births, didn't meet the target, need to find an excuse to let dozens more be assimilated by strange creatures, total population 1600."

"In the Year 163, this year 33 people were assimilated by strange creatures, 21 births, the population is declining, at this rate can hardly meet the target anymore."

…

"In the Year 172, this year 16 people were assimilated by strange creatures, 2 accidental deaths, 14 births, can't hold out much longer..."

"In the Year 173, this year 11 people were assimilated by strange creatures, 2 births, total population fell below 800, can only falsely claim over 1000, how long can we hold on?"

"How much longer can I live?"

"How long will it take for it to completely possess the Semaphore?"

Each of these is a record of the population. Among them, "My Calendar" is obviously a timing method set by the village chief himself. Xue Dili calculated that he should have taken the first year he arrived in Hell as the reference point.

But now, as he looked at the number of people, the village chief always intentionally sent others into the Fairy Tale World, most of whom were elderly, and Xue Dili could understand.

However, that final "it" made both Xue Dili and Old Green's expressions turn serious.

This wasn't the first time this term had appeared, and Xue Dili could only think of the great entity that could turn the Fairy Tale World into reality. Only that entity could perhaps be described as "it."

Thus, it seemed that the old village chief's plan was to delay the revival of "it."

And, "Semaphore?"

"Have you ever heard of this name?" Xue Dili asked Old Green. The name seemed like a ship or a tank name, and it might have been a spaceship from an ancient civilization trying to escape this hellish cosmos.

Indeed, there's a possibility. If there truly was technology that could escape this Hell Star, Xue Dili thought someone would definitely build a spaceship to escape.

And based on the intelligence gathered, the ancient civilization wasn't a magical one but leaned towards a bio-technology-like civilization. From the biological oddities and fungal mats, it was apparent that they were extremely adept at biological technology.

There was, of course, some mechanical technology, but compared to biological technology, which could create the eternal life-like oddities and fungal mats, mechanical technology seemed to have just entered the information age.

It's like the fans and control room in this place, giving off the aura of computer rooms the size of entire rooms from the last century.

In other words, before the Fairy Tale World turned real, this civilization didn't have magic, or its development was very weak. They probably hadn't even unlocked the teleportation gate's tech tree, so manufacturing a spaceship through technological means was quite normal.

"Semaphore, you mean, it could possibly be an original civilization's spaceship? And based on current speculation, it might even be a living biological spaceship," Old Green voiced his conjecture, similar to Xue Dili's thoughts.

"Could it be that the living biological spaceship lost control and began to cause irreversible consequences, which is why they have to perform a filling ritual every year?" Xue Dili voiced his speculation.

However, they could only watch all this and speculate blindly for now.

The two didn't have more information; after finding no other notes, they could only survey the entire control room. Countless fans and crimson fluids circulated inside; despite being vast and bizarre, Xue Dili recognized that both the fans and liquids were part of a cooling system.

Furthermore, it seemed like many magic circles assisted in cooling. Over 70% of the room's structure was built for cooling, leaving Xue Dili truly puzzled.

What exactly requires such an enormous cooling system, even if those early computers from the last century needed nothing this outrageous?

Xue Dili and Old Green exchanged a glance. The two split the task: one deciphered the remaining array, the other examined the center's mystery.

Soon, Old Green, one by one, unraveled the arrays. The village chief's magical skills were less than a Tier Two mage—not enough to block the already Tier Four Old Deng.

While Xue Dili studied the mechanical structures of the control room, he largely understood the functions and disassembly methods of the fans and pipes. With the cooperation of the elder and the young, within moments, Xue Dili dismantled an entire row of fans without affecting the original structure.

And then he saw it, in the deepest part, a "brain"?

Similar to a human brain, but much larger—almost a meter in diameter, with numerous pipes connecting to it. The cerebral cortex occasionally pulsed, like a living thing.

"Are you the new saviors?" Suddenly, a voice echoed in the minds of both Xue Dili and Old Green.

Both understood that the words came from this brain.

"Apologies, I can only communicate with you in this form. I am the artificial intelligence of the Semaphore, responsible for all operations and maintenance tasks of the space airship—Semaphore. I also regularly schedule missions to collect materials from nearby planets."

"This voyage is estimated to last 35,000 years, nearly 1123 generations of humans, finally settling on a planet located near star system α-156, 34,000 light-years away from the mother planet."

The star map was displayed directly in front of them, and Xue Dili was momentarily stunned.

The planet α-156, why does it seem so similar to the Solar System?
