[Shocking! A super civilization hidden in the 4th Star Zone!]

…

[Are the Adjudicators monitoring us?]

…

In the database of the base on Kata, Gu Fan was reading the media news from the Galaxy Community through the external network worriedly.

Undoubtedly, news about the death of the Great Khan and the Adjudicator had been pushed to an unprecedented height under the competitive reporting of several large companies.

Even the video of the battle had been edited by the media and priced at 10,000 star coins. It was sold to curious netizens who wanted to see the true appearance of the “adjudicator”.

In an instant, more and more eyewitness reports about the adjudicators were published. Although most of them were unrelated content, this made Gu Fan even more worried about the current situation.

He did not expect that his first operation would expose his tracks…

However, he was not afraid of what would happen to the members of the Galaxy Community. According to the recent investigation results, these guys were clearly not a threat to him.

Even the Amarian Empire, which had inherited the heritage of mankind, had been specially investigated by him in detail when he was free.

Due to the decay of its internal religion and noble system, such a huge empire had actually stagnated in the field of science and technology for a full 300 years. Even now, it was only relying on the legacy left behind by humans in the past to maintain its bloated size.

In other words, according to the results of the civilization evaluation, this civilization called Amarian could not really affect him in the short term. They might even disintegrate on their own.

What really worried Gu Fan were the existences known as the lost empires. Through continuous observation of them recently, Gu Fan realized that these civilizations were very likely to belong to the same era as humans.

For example, the special civilization that the community called the Guardians of the Holy Land had most likely inherited their technology from the ancient Saints, the former enemies of mankind.

Similar to the ancient saints of the past, the citizens of the Guardians of the Holy Land were also gifted with spiritual energy. However, due to the effects of spiritual energy depletion, the citizens of the Sacred Grounds had announced the closure of their sovereign borders hundreds of years ago and began a painful cultivation that lasted until now in an attempt to free their citizens from the negative effects of spiritual energy depletion.

Through the recent clues about these ancient civilizations and the traces in history, Gu Fan gradually obtained a shocking truth.

Ever since the Wither Disease eradicated the human empire a thousand years ago, a disaster known as the Great Depletion had occurred in the Milky Way, just like what Wilm had described in Soma No. 4.

The great depletion caused the spiritual energy in the Milky Way to almost disappear without a trace for a period of time. Therefore, a large number of species that relied heavily on spiritual energy suffered a devastating blow almost overnight.

Just like the human empire that had disappeared, because of the sudden appearance of the Great Depletion, humanity’s former enemies, the Star God and the Saints, gradually walked off the stage of history.

In just a few hundred years, the forces in the entire Milky Way had completed a large-scale change, as if something was deliberately manipulating everything behind the scenes.

…

…

Just as Gu Fan was about to search for more information about the adjudicators on the Internet, a search record suddenly popped up in the search column and caught his attention.

[Mission 2042, Clearance Of The Eighth Level]

“?”

This was a search record from the database of the base. The time of the search was this morning.

Looking at such a strange search information, Gu Fan did not know where to start complaining.

Could someone else have entered this place?

But the problem was, other than himself and Xue Feng, how could anyone else have access to the core area?

Could it be Xue Feng? But why?

With doubts in his heart, Gu Fan took the opportunity to check the search records of the past month in the database room. The strange thing was that the records inside were cleaner than expected, as if they had been deliberately cleaned.

In the end, after using his authority as a manager, Gu Fan found the deleted access records and a new file that should not have appeared in the system program.

When he clicked on the file called [Important Information], a total of 105,000 comic books and a collection of video games including one called Call of Duty appeared on the screen.

“En?”

Looking at the electronic book documents that were sorted and stored separately according to the theme and reading progress, Gu Fan fell into even greater confusion.

At this moment, the sealed door outside the database was slowly opened, and Xue Feng walked in unhurriedly.

“Research ship No. 8 has some new discoveries to report to you. They said…”

However, before Xue Feng could say anything, she saw the comics and novel documents on the screen in front of Gu Fan. She was a little surprised.

For Gu Fan, this was the first time he had seen such an expression on Xue Feng’s face. For this reason, he could vaguely guess the owner of these records and documents.

However, before he could say anything, the screen that was still lit up suddenly went out. Obviously, Xue Feng had taken the initiative to cut off the power of the database. For a moment, the atmosphere in the venue seemed to become a little awkward.

In the dark environment, Gu Fan stared at the pair of wine-red eyes. He really did not know what to say. This moment where he unintentionally exposed someone else’s secret was really difficult to deal with.

However, what was surprising was that Xue Feng was so interested in these things. This situation was more or less beyond Gu Fan’s imagination.

…

…

At the same time, in the Northern Star Region of the 6th Star Region, a huge colonial spaceship called the Wailing Cryer was transporting their passengers to a beautiful planet that was like paradise.

After a long period of observation, this young race was overjoyed to discover that there was actually an ownerless planet that was suitable for habitation within a galactic distance of their home planet.

The near-perfect climate and abundant resources on the planet excited the scientists of this young race just as the colonial spacecraft arrived on that planet.

The excited scholars even held a public press conference on their home planet with the support of the planetary government. In the conference, the excited officials shouted in excited voices.

“We will use this place as the starting point to conquer the universe!”

“From today onwards, this Planet Gaia will be the proof of our race’s prosperity!”

“We want everyone to understand that our great nation is invincible!”

“A new era for us is about to begin!”

However, what they did not know was that when the colonists stepped onto the planet and immediately began to use industrial equipment to sweep through the local resources and ruins, their fate and the fate of their race had already begun to end.

The very next day, as the young leader was about to start the day’s work, his secretary gave him surprising news.

A civilization that claimed to be the Guardians of the Holy Land had inexplicably declared war on them, but their declaration of war only contained a short sentence.

“Let’s be frank!!!”
