Chapter 98: Battle of Heaven (2)

But soon, these passionate civilizations announced that they would sever all ties with the Stone Man Civilization, and proposed to launch a joint strike against it.
The reason for this was quickly spread throughout the Milky Way: It was because this Stone Man Civilization was a little stupid.
Perhaps it was not stupidity, but a strong self-confidence, conceit, and desire to expand that maintained their civilization exchange.
They were very similar to the mysophobia Pegchitti that once rampaged in the Milky Way, but they were not the same.
The most obvious point was that the Pegchitti would at least have an assessment of their own strength. If the enemy was too strong, they would not take the initiative to provoke them. They would only be satisfied with their words.
However, this Stone Man Civilization was forever fearless. The most shocking move they made was to declare war on more than 20 civilizations at the same time, including the lost empire of the Silent.
This kind of absolute self-confidence had even become a legend in the Milky Way. There was a world record that no one could surpass in the Galaxy World Record: The interstellar country that declared war on most civilizations.
The only reason they were still alive was that the civilizations were looking forward to what they could do next.
It turned out that this Stone Man Civilization did not disappoint.
“To be honest, you guys can actually have a better choice. I think it’s not bad if you don’t join any side…” The messenger began to earnestly persuade the Stone Man leader in front of him.
As a messenger, he felt that he was someone who had seen the big storms. He could understand the caution of the young civilization. Not joining any side was something he had long expected.
However, this unexpected choice made him feel that this galaxy was really colorful and that he had lived for so many years in vain.
“There’s no need to say anymore! I told you to kneel down and I’ll let you!” The Stone Man still looked confident. Seeing this, the emissary could only sigh and prepare to report the situation back to the Watcher’s territory.
Before he left, he saw the spaceship of the Voyager arrive. It was still the preparation period for the war. Even if they did not like each other as old enemies, they would not attack here.
However, when he brushed shoulders with the messenger of the Voyager, the messenger of the Watcher couldn’t help but laugh out loud. He could already predict the expression of the nominal avatar.
Therefore, it didn’t take long for the Milky Way civilization to know that a Stone Man Civilization had chosen an unexpected choice.
“As expected of them!” Blenning couldn’t help but praise the trading station of Craybow.
Their war with the killer bee colony had temporarily come to an end because of the emissary of the lost empire. Even the bees that liked to devour biological matter seemed to understand that the situation in the Milky Way was not right. They began to stop in time and did not stand out.
As the trading station where Blenning was located was close to the Administrator, no bees dared to come and harass him.
However, when he heard about the choice of the Stone Man Civilization, he still felt that it was both unexpected and reasonable.
As megacorp, they had naturally tried to do business with this group of Stone Men who did not know the immensity of heaven and earth.
The outcome was self-evident. Even Craybow itself had become one of the targets of the Stone Men. However, before they could make a move, this group of Stone Men was beaten until only their mother planet was left. They did not have the time to seize any resources.
However, after the praise, what followed was the worry about the future.
“This group of Stone Men should be the last batch. From the looks of it, all the young civilizations in the Milky Way seem to have received invitations from the Watcher and the Voyager to participate in the war.”
“Even the lost empire would need a few pawns to witness the end of their feud?”
“What would the outcome of this war be? Was there a winner? Or was it a mutual injury? Can we gain anything?”
Blenning looked at the star map that seemed to be getting darker and darker. He kept sighing and finally looked at the lost robotic empire in the corner of the map. He said to himself with envy,
“The lost empire is still the best. They didn’t have to do anything and just sat there watching the Milky Way storm. If only we had such strength…”
Li Wenyuan, who was still busy exploring the ruins, didn’t expect that someone would look at him like this. It had been a long time since he had sent out the mission to find the object in the picture, but he hadn’t found anything yet.
All traces of this suspected threat seemed to have been cleaned up from the Milky Way, and there were almost no clues related to it.
However, the group of ancient Voyagers he had placed in the Beacon of Infinity circular world were developing at a speed that he could not understand.
The efficiency that the mechanical bodies brought them was indeed unparalleled. While they were restoring their former homes without sleep or rest, they were also constantly assembling new companions.
They didn’t need to reproduce normally like living creatures. The only complexity in the process of increasing the number of siblings was the structure of their mental network, which determined their souls.
Even though their population was still far from that of normal interstellar civilizations, their high productivity had allowed them to build a high-level fleet that looked exactly the same as that of the Voyager, but with a more primitive beauty.
The memories of knowledge were still in their minds. In time, perhaps not so long, they would replace the current Voyager and become the real Awakened Empire.
“An old grudge?” One of the leaders of the ancient Voyagers had already realized what was about to happen in the Milky Way, but this hatred had now faded. After being betrayed by their compatriots, they only wanted to pursue the footsteps of the Enlightened Ones.
However, their new compatriots were still curious about the past. Even if it had become part of their memories, they still wanted to hear the stories of ancient times.
“That was in the past. At that time, the Milky Way was showing signs of prosperity under the great cause of the Enlightened Ones.”
“We claim to be the most orthodox successors of the Enlightened Ones. We even imitated the title of Enlightened Ones, giving ourselves a name.”
“But at that time, there was another group of people in the Milky Way who claimed to be the successors of the Enlightened Ones. Fortunately, they also called themselves the XX Ones. We were still very young, so we naturally did not allow such behavior.”
“Thus, a great war broke out. Each of us wanted to use a war that would end all wars to protect the Milky Way Paradise left behind by the Enlightened Ones.”
“I’m guessing that they’ve already forgotten the reason. They only know that they’re old enemies. However, we still have a unique way of naming this kind of war, and that is…”
“That is the Battle of Heaven.” According to the information extracted from the memory of the ancient Voyager, Li Wenyuan explained to Gray Wind what was going to happen in the Milky Way.
In the star map, the color blocks representing the territories of the Watcher and the Voyager had quietly turned red. The hatred between the two ancient civilizations was also ignited..
