Chapter 2203: Eternal Skyfire_2

Five hundred years have passed.

Following the sages and great sages (Ian and Aldo’s titles in later generations, similar to Zhou and Confucius), one philosopher king and sage after another led the Humans forward, and the technology of the Sacred Terra Federation developed in a slow but stable trend.

The technology carried within Terra is truly vast and powerful; even a slightly faster step can induce unimaginable social upheaval and conflict. Therefore, rather than war and rapid development, the Federation prefers peace and stable slow progress.

During this time, a major event occurred.

In the year 575 of the Federal Calendar, the [Cradle opened].

In the five hundred and eightieth year after the Pioneer Sage Ian Silverpeak left Terra, Humans finally broke out of the Cradle and reached the vast universe beyond.

The glorious and splendid Star Sea, the bright and dazzling Milky Way, without any End, and devoid of any darkness. For some unknown reason, and originating from an unknown point, the universe had already restored itself, and the Cradle detected this, thus spontaneously shattered.

In this endless starlight, even the once bright [Star of Guidance], was but an inconspicuous one among the endless stars.

After that, Humans entered a new era of cosmic grand development. Humans left the Terra Starfield, colonized and expanded on extraterrestrial planets, exploring brand new realms; in just over a hundred years, the footprints of Humans spread across nearly a thousand planets, among which there were more than thirty habitable planets.

However, as the realm of Humans continually expanded, its power also continuously grew, the Sacred Terra Federation inevitably began to conflict with ’enemies’.

The so-called enemies are [other Cradle civilizations].

The number of Cradles in the universe is not small; after the Cradles shattered, other Cradle civilizations that started expanding continuously also began to spread their footprints across the Milky Way and the universe.

Unlike the Sacred Terra Federation, these Cradle civilizations, although due to various reasons (mostly just didn’t have enough time, and too much chaos internally preventing the start of the Perpetual Motion Machine) haven’t built a ’Ring World’, their civilizations are well integrated, and the civilization’s Spark was effectively utilized, hence their power is extremely strong.

These civilizations with strength beyond Human expectations should have been bearing ’goodwill’, since after all, everyone is an ’offspring of the Star God’. But for unknown reasons, the existence of the Star God, along with the presence of the End began to fade away from the ends of causality; even civilizations without ’Immortality’ couldn’t even remember these two concepts, and all universe civilizations except for each race within their respective Cradle slightly recognized each other, had a very cold attitude towards ’other Cradle civilizations’.

Furthermore, throughout the universe, there was a mysterious force invading and attacking, causing civilizations to distrust each other and grow indifferent.

For Humans, encountering these extraterrestrial civilizations was like the past when the Tara Confederation encountered other Terra nations.

After a brief alertness, some time of communication and conflict...

The cosmic war began.

It was a war too tragic for words, like streams of light as rain filling the universe, illuminating the stars, with numerous warships and the explosions of space Armor Suits even creating a ’Warship Graveyard’ in the core star systems capable of deflecting the orbits of planets.

Enormous war Death Stars distorted space-time, and the passage of Planet-Destroyer Battleships targeting enemy civilization planets left only dust.

Humans were defeated. And the enemies also claimed a costly victory.

And during the war, the enemies discovered in astonishment that Humans were actually a civilization of a single race— the excessively tragic war caused the enemies to become uncontrollably fearful of Humans, believing Humans must have wiped out all other civilizations within their Cradle to grow strong with the power of one race to such a degree, and that Humans had given them a free hand because Humans ultimately weren’t the true possessors of the Spark Technology.

For universal justice, for those ’other civilizations’ tragically killed by Humans, they were determined to conduct a complete ’purification’ of Humans down to a single genetic information.

Not accepting surrender, not allowing escape, all enemies must be eliminated, even if it means pursuing to the universe’s end.

Federal Calendar, year 716.

Humans are facing a thorough extinction crisis.

But, it was also in this year.

In the ancient and outdated Terra Star System that had long been forgotten by the Sacred Terra Federation with its possession of Thousand Stars.

Some ancient things were awakened.

[Does this world actually still remember me?]

In the deepest part of the Domain of Void, on the silver-white throne, the white-haired, violet-eyed young man slowly raised his head, looking at the black-haired old man before him with a gaze that had seen through everything.

In his eyes, the elderly before him appeared entirely different, the old man surrounded by twisted blazing flames, the shadows of seventy-two pillars of Demon Gods turned into Totems, constantly revolving around him.

This was over six hundred years after Humans chose to abandon the path of Silver Peak Sage, when most of the permissions of Synthesis Intelligence were sealed with the baseless charge of ’suspected rebellion’, he also chose to seal himself, coldly witnessed this civilization that betrayed the brother he had watched step by step onto their chosen path.

Why did my brother love them so much? The violet-eyed young man mused thusly. The brother burned his life to lead this easily perishable and changeable mundane group forward, transforming the entire world in just eighteen years; had Humans adhered to that path, how could subsequent rebellions occur, how could they be overtaken or even surpassed by other civilizations without a Pioneer after over five hundred years of development?
