Chapter 305: Heavenly Chasm
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
The Grand Theater Galaxy was the galaxy with the most interstellar space routes in the Skywalker Empire.
Every planet here was a huge three-dimensional projection device. The tourists here only had one purpose: to watch the image.
There were still many such Grand Theater Galaxies in the Empire, and they had not changed even after the storms.
This was the place that the citizens of the Imperium yearned for. Only here could they obtain a great sense of satisfaction, both physically and mentally, as if they had taken a spiritual drug.
Today, because the new blockbuster was about to be released, the Grand Theater Galaxy across the Imperium was also crowded. A lot of civilizations from different starfields had gathered in those places, looking forward to the tragedy that they would witness this time.
A family of three had also come. The father was a famous philanthropist in the empire, the mother was a celebrity singer, and the child had just entered elementary school in the Imperium.
“Darling, do you know the main lead of this movie?”
“Of course 1 know. It’s the Ancient River People, right? He vaguely remembered that this was the suspense left behind by the ending of the last movie. A destroyed civilization had entrusted itself to another civilization… Tsk tsk, how touching.”
The child listened to his parents talking to each other in a language he could not understand, but his eyes were curiously staring at everything outside the porthole, filled with fantasies about this universe.
Not long after, the spaceship that had arrived at the Grand Theater Galaxy received a signal that the show was about to begin. The audience who were still chatting fell silent at the same time, holding their breaths as they waited for the start of the movie.
Accompanied by similar “10, 9, 8…” The planets of the galaxy were also arranged in the correct positions, and the projection equipment that covered almost all the planets began to work normally.
Faint fluorescent light seemed to fill the entire galaxy at this moment. The spaceship within the range of the fluorescent light seemed to be in an illusion. The entire universe changed, becoming the galaxy where the Ancient River People were.
[The story starts a long time ago…]
The emotional opening speech was directly poured into the ears of every audience member, and it also made them understand that the movie had begun.
Now, it was time for the previous recap segment, which reminded the audience of the plot of the last movie.
In the storyline, a fleeing civilization conquered the home of another civilization to survive and enslaved the lifeforms there.
The entire movie’s theme was resistance and struggle. It told the story of how the enslaved destroyed the slave owners step by step and finally regained power.
At the end of the movie, the image was fixed on an Ancient River person who was looking at the starry sky.
Almost everyone knew that this meant that they would be the main characters of the next movie, and that was why the current movie was highly anticipated.
As the movie officially began, the plot progressed, and the audience gradually became restless from the initial silence. Everyone was expressing their opinions on everything in the movie.
“Ha, the dragon slayer will eventually become a dragon! Look, the Ancient River People began to harbor malicious intentions towards the surrounding civilizations, using their crappy attack techniques to attack other civilizations.”
“Once bitten, twice shy… Couldn’t they think that the universe wasn’t that dark?”
These spectators all had their own opinions, but most of them condemned the Ancient River People and felt contempt for their malicious behavior.
As for the celebrity singer, she did not hide the disgust on her face. She complained to her philanthropist husband beside her, “An ugly civilization and a bunch of ugly people. That homeless alien civilization is so pitiful. They’re not even willing to give up a piece of land and even destroyed that alien civilization…”
“Forget about that. After inheriting the legacy of that civilization, their ugly faces were even more exposed. Other civilizations did not provoke them, but they did not hesitate to carry out the attack?”
“Have they forgotten their painful past? If they did not trust other civilizations, there would never be a day of peace!”
After the philanthropist heard this, he followed his wife’s words and continued, “You’re right, my dear. That is indeed an ugly civilization. Only destruction is their most deserving ending.”
The child did not understand what his parents were saying at all. He just stared at the immersive movie scene and thought,
“If they didn’t have a planet to live on, why didn’t they live on the circular world? There’s clearly a lot of lands there that can’t be used up…”
As time passed, the plot of the movie gradually progressed to its climax.
The Ancient River People in the movie had been molded into an evil civilization that was greedy, unkind, and selfish in various scenes, which was a huge contrast to the image in the previous movie.
This gave the audience a sense of novelty and anticipation. All of them hoped that this civilization would get the ending they deserved.
Soon, they felt that the ending was coming!
A mysterious alien civilization suddenly appeared here and destroyed all the defense forces of the Ancient River People like crushing an ant.
A large number of UFOs flew over the planet of the Ancient River People, and it looked like they were about to destroy this civilization that had committed many crimes.
However, just as the audience was looking forward to the ending that they had been waiting for, something that surprised him happened.
The mysterious civilization didn’t do anything after that. After defeating the Ancient River People, they only stayed for a short while before disappearing into the distance. The outcome was unknown.
This instantly ignited the dissatisfaction of the audience.
“F*ck, I want a refund! Is this ending worthy of us?!”
The person in charge of the screening was also confused and reported this matter to his superiors.
After the news reached the person with the highest position, he went to another colleague in charge of this matter and asked what was going on.
The other person was shocked that he had started. It was clearly not time yet.
In the end, after a round of mutual notification, they understood that the civilization responsible for destroying the Ancient River People was still on its way. What appeared in the movie was actually a Variant civilization.
The workers in charge of the Grand Theater Galaxy mistook this civilization for the ending of a movie and directly put it on the screen, which led to such an outcome.
But soon, they realized that the mysterious Variant civilization did not seem to be from that place. The reason was that it could perform superluminal travel without leaving a trace.
Not long after, they knew what was going on because the higher-ups of the dynasty had issued a martial law order.
[From now on, no one is allowed to approach the Heavenly Chasm without permission! Violators will be killed!]
[In addition, the large-scale mobilization of the Imperium’s fleet today is a normal military action. Any rumors are prohibited!]
The sudden dark cloud of war loomed over the Imperium, confusing every citizen of the Imperium. What exactly made the Imperium cause such a huge commotion?
Meanwhile, the civilization that had alarmed the Skywalker Empire was gradually discovering the secret of the galaxy with the activity of a large number of spaceships and the placement of sentry formations.
It was a quarantine zone, a vast area without any planets.
Like the Heavenly Chasm, it divided the entire Spiral Galaxy Alpha into the upper three spiral arms and the lower three spiral arms.
All the galaxies in the lower three spiral arms were not connected by hyperspace channels. They were in the darkest environment.
As for the upper three spiral arms, even if he couldn’t see anything in the universe, Li Wenyuan had a feeling that there was a hyperspace there..
