Chapter 313: Skywalker’s Reward
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
There was a lot of other data stored in the Chronicler’s memory, but perhaps to make room for technology, most of them were keywords that he couldn’t understand.
However, among this bunch of keywords, there was only a considerable amount of information about the mysterious scribe civilization, which included the Chronicler’s own identity.
Li Wenyuan wasn’t sure if artificial intelligence had the concept of family and kinship, but he knew that the Chronicler must be obsessed with its creator.
Many clues could be seen from this series of diary records.

According to the classification of the Utes, this was the first and second stages of the Chroniclers. At the same time, Li Wenyuan also saw how his identification code was entered into the memory of the Chroniclers.
The long record after that was the interaction with the galaxy and the scribe civilization when he was a Chronicler.

[I have officially changed my name to Chronicler]
Seeing this, Li Wenyuan could not help but sigh.
He didn’t know what kind of virus humans had infected the Variant Terminal, but this could also be a unique situation for the Variant Terminal.
The newborn Chronicler was like a newborn child, beginning to imitate everything it came into contact with.
Artificial intelligence was like this. It needed to learn and summarize enough data before improving itself bit by bit until it became a real artificial intelligence.
It was also at the moment when the Chronicler began to learn that it became an artificial intelligence, an artificial intelligence life that was completely different from its original self under the interference of many parties.
And the first person it learned from was naturally its creator, the scribe.
At that time, the Chronicler was not like this. It might have had a complete database and had some understanding of the civilization it created, so it gave it a name similar to the scribe.
And after that, it walked on a path that was completely different from its original direction.
How do machines view life? How did the machine deal with its contradictions?
After a series of choices, the Chronicler did not put in a few automated planetary machines like the civilization it created.
It began to participate in the plays of the galaxy, both openly and covertly and influenced all civilizations here in secret.
There was a hyperspace channel here, and the state of the galaxy was very stable. No natural disasters were invading, and no foreign enemies were spying on them. There was also a guardian that was many levels higher than other civilizations staying here.
In Li Wenyuan’s opinion, the situation here might be better than the Milky Way at that time. After all, there were no time bombs here, and there was no infected guardian who could wipe out the entire galaxy at any time.
After the Chronicler led everything to prosperity, he quietly retreated behind the scenes and did what the name scribe meant – to leave a record for every civilization here, which was also the Chroniclers.
Perhaps it had developed feelings for the kindling it had ignited and was unwilling to let them disappear into the dust of history.
Even if the cycle of rise and fall was inevitable, as long as there was a Chronicler left in it, the civilization would not be completely extinct. There would always be a record of them in the history books.
It was both the Chronicler and the keeper. Continuing this history was the new mission it had given itself.
However, all the records ended after the appearance of the Skywalker Empire.
This was also the last record that The Chronicler had left for himself in his memory, in order to clean up their mess.
[Chronicler log 007519102:]
[Abnormal phenomenon detected in the observation station. Confirming…]
[Civilization confirmed: Skywalker Empire. Its leader ignored the warning and contacted the observation station.]
[Received an inquiry from the higher-ups. Camouflage failed]
[Back-up agreement, defense agreement, rescue agreement, war factory fully activated…]
[I will protect this piece of history The Declaration of the Kingdom of Greenham’s Ruins and Archeology Association ]
After that, there was nothing left. All history was interrupted here, and millions of years of records had no successors.
All of this was caused by the first emperor of the Skywalker Empire.
Li Wenyuan didn’t need to guess to know that the observation station in the record was definitely referring to the Observation Terminal.
As for the status of the scribe civilization that left the Observation Terminal behind, he also had a guess. That civilization probably wouldn’t pay attention to the data of the Observation Terminal at all times.
It was even more likely that the scribe was simply collecting information about the galaxies and preserving them. They were not interested in what happened inside, as long as it did not disturb their records.
According to what humans had done in the Elliptical Galaxy Alpha, the Observation Terminal here must have been hacked by them once, which added another layer of insurance.
As long as he didn’t fall ill, it would be difficult to turn this place dark.
However, the Skywalker Empire somehow attracted the attention of the scribe, who had no choice but to take up the responsibility of protecting the galaxy.
The Chronicler was created by the scribe, so it definitely knew under what circumstances its creator would mercilessly strike.
However, the miracle that had happened to Gray Wind did not happen to it. It failed in the end. The entire galaxy was divided into two, half bright and the other half dark. All its efforts were in vain.
“The protectors who were dutiful and dedicated died, but the civilization that had nothing to protect and was empty was still alive, and even lived quite well…”
At this moment, Li Wenyuan looked at the Skywalker Empire spaceship that was preparing to escape.
The Chronicler had perished, but the civilization that had caused all of this continued to suck blood from its corpse, standing in a high position as a victor and overlooking everything.
Originally, he did not care about such a small fry, but the actions of the Skywalker Empire had reminded him of a term that he hated from the bottom of his heart.
After all, he wasn’t a true artificial intelligence. He still had some emotions in his soul.
“Although justice is late, at least the trial should not be absent..”
