Chapter 78: The Beginning of the Anomaly

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

Something had exploded in the Watcher’s Holy Land, the Pure Treasure.

However, other than a small number of people who knew about it, most civilizations were still in the dark.

The “Pure Treasure”, which was originally a tourist attraction, had now become a poisonous planet.

The toxic atmosphere covered the surface of the planet, cutting off any possibility of survival for most creatures.

The once-glamorous surface had been scarred by the atomic clock bomb. It was hard to imagine that this was once a Holy Land.

As the sacred land held a special place in the hearts of the idealistic civilizations, especially the Watcher, every person with psionic ability potential had a special telepathic connection with it.

Therefore, when they sensed that one of the Holy Lands, the ‘Pure Treasure1 had suddenly disappeared, all of them were shocked.

…..

The Watcher immediately launched an indiscriminate broadcast to the galaxy where the Pure Treasure was located.

“That was once a sacred land.’1

’ You don’t understand the true consequences of your crimes.”

“However, you will soon know… Where are you guys?”

The Watcher, who wanted to catch the culprit in the act, didn’t see any ships or lifeforms near the Pure Treasure.

Other than the planets that were still spinning and the Holy Land that had become uninhabitable, there was no movement in the entire galaxy.

It was as if the Holy Land had exploded by itself.

But the Watcher knew that it was impossible. Someone had to have done it.

“Priest! High priest! The Saint Attendants have already begun to awaken, and the ascetics are also in a state of agitation, demanding that those who defile the Holy Land be severely punished!”

One of the leaders of the Watcher, the High Priest, was standing in the temple, listening to the spirituals signals sent by his subordinates.

Cultivating spiritual telepathy was a necessary course for every practitioner. It was a convenience brought about by psionic power and also an important means for them to improve the cohesiveness of their race.

Since everyone was connected to each other, all schemes and plots seemed to be exposed.

However, the high priest did not immediately take action. Instead, he carefully sensed something through a strange spherical machine in front of him.

He was trying to sense the level of the people s spiritual power fluctuations and whether they could meet his requirements.

Ever since Prophet Zachlan left, this power had increased greatly due to grief.

And this time, the explosion of the Holy Land seemed to have successfully broken through every boundary.

After sensing for a while, he revealed a satisfied smile and immediately sent an imperial order to all the people in the territory: “The passage of time may have made the Milky Way forget our existence. Even if we don’t want to participate in these annoying things again, there are always people who try to cross our bottom line.”

’ Was it a provocation? Was it disdain? Or do they think we re no longer as glorious as we were in the past?”

“All of this will be revealed after we announce our return to the Milky Way. All those who oppose us must choose destruction or surrender.”

At the same time as the high priest’s announcement, Zachlan who was on the “Walled Garden” of the Holy Land, reacted.

“Something bad had exploded…” Zachlan’s expression was a little ugly, which immediately attracted Gray Wind’s curiosity.

“What exploded?”

“My psionic link can no longer sense the existence of the other Holy Land, the Pure Treasure. This usually means that the Holy Land has suffered irreversible damage.”

“But that’s not the most important thing. The most important thing is that the Watcher won’t let it go.”

“Although no one in the entire Milky Way knows the consequences of blowing up the Holy Land, based on my understanding of the high priest and my people’s fanatism, this matter is likely to not just lead to punishing the culprits’.”

He became a little anxious. He looked at the stars while walking back and forth, as if he was thinking of a solution,

“You mean…”

“They will no longer be silent, but will once again join the Milky Way.” Zachlan answered with certainty. At the same time, he said, “Unfortunately, I have to go back, even though I still have many things to discuss with you. But my friend has already made a mistake. 1 don’t want him to do more harm.”

With that, Zachlan left the place.

Li Wenyuan pondered for a moment and then remembered something.

“Let’s hurry up and take a look at the Pure Treasure. I hope we can make it in time.”

There were already two Holy Lands related to humans belonging to the Watcher. No matter how Li Wenyuan thought about it, it was impossible for the third holy land not to be related to humans.

However, from Zachlan’s tone, it seemed like the Watcher wouldn’t be so easy to talk to soon. It was unknown if they could even get close to the Holy Land.

However, what worried him the most was the human ruins on the ’Pure Treasure”. The explosion that could destroy the Holy Land sounded powerful. It was very likely that he would not receive anything when he went over.

However, as long as there was a sliver of hope, he would try to salvage the situation.

Therefore, after Gray Wind flowback to the research spaceship, the warp to the “Pure Treasure” galaxy began.

The familiar spatial reorganizing fluctuations were activated once again. In the blink of an eye, the position of the flying ship changed and arrived near the “Pure Treasure”.

The situation of the galaxy here didn’t seem to be any different, except for the Holy Land “Pure Treasure” that was already filled with a poisonous atmosphere.

The atomic clock bomb had destroyed the ecosystem on the surface and produced a large amount of toxic gas.

However, this poison was only effective on ordinary creatures. The only thing that would affect mechanical beings was the corrosive gas.

However, this kind of corrosion didn’t work on the research spaceship and the Gray Wind.

What was even more surprising was that as soon as Li Wenyuan approached the “Pure Treasure”, he received the remaining human signals.

The ruins left behind by humans were surprisingly strong and not destroyed in the explosion.

At the same time, the explosion disrupted the psionic power that was supposed to surround the planet, so that he could receive the signal as soon as he arrived, unlike the other two Holy Lands that required detailed exploration to discover traces.

“According to the experience of the first two Holy Lands, there seems to be a void realm crack on every planet of the Holy Lands, and the remains of humans arc generally built there.”

He traced the source of the signal and found the ruins of humans as well as the crack here.

[Experimental Void Realm Siphon 1

[Introduction: It has always been our consensus that there is a huge power in the void realm. It is a waste to leave this power unused. Other civilizations might not be able to use it efficiently, but we can.]

[Void Realm Absorption Experiment]

[Technology level: 6]

[Introduction: We may try to extract the power of the void realm for our use, whether it is for development or destruction. If this theory is feasible, then we might not be limited to this dimension anymore. 1

[Possible Technology: None)

What was left in the ruins seemed to be an experimental machine, but it had been shut down long ago and not destroyed in an explosion.

Humans might have tried to use it before, but for some reason, they gave up on it.

And since the Watcher had designated this place as a Holy Land, they must have discovered this machine.

“Then have they started to extract the power of the void realm for their own use?11 Li Wenyuan left the galaxy in a hurry.

Since he had already found what he wanted, there was no need for him to stay here any longer.

The galaxy was silent again, but as time passed, there were more and more abnormal movements in the territory of the Watcher.

The civilizations of the Milky Way noticed this abnormality, but they did not know what was going on.

It was only when a galactic tourist who loved to travel could not find the “Pure Treasure” that they realized that something big was about to happen in the Milky Way.

It was not only the Watcher who was acting abnormally. Underneath the glamorous surface of the sea of stars, undercurrents were surging, too.

Countless civilizations were closely observing the Watcher’s every move, but they were all thinking:

Would this be a new opportunity or an irresistible threat?
