Chapter 182: Reigniting the Fire Seed
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
“Yo! Good brother! How have you been recently?”
“Look who’s here. I just made you some energy drinks.”
“How many times have I told you that those drones need to be used in the deep sea? Wait, there’s a guest. 1’11 tell you when 1 get back… You’re the representative of the Pyro Alliance, right? I’ve been waiting for you for a long time.”
A representative of the Pyro Alliance, who had just arrived at the new headquarters of the Galaxy Community, was still familiarizing himself with the environment. He looked at the enthusiastic people around him in confusion, not knowing what was going on.
At this moment, he was holding a hot energy drink in his hand, with local products from various civilizations hanging on his waist. There was even a well-domesticated mollusk lying on his shoulder, rubbing his face affectionately.
Because the Galaxy Community had obtained the Interstellar Assembly given by the Administrator as its headquarters, the Milky Way Conference which had been stagnant before was once again restarted.
As a member of the Milky Way civilization, the Pyro Alliance was naturally involved.
However, the moment his spaceship docked and he got off the ship, he realized that the gazes of the people around him… was different!
As the Pyro Alliance’s rhetoric towards other civilizations was very intense, not many civilizations treated them kindly. They were either indifferent or turned their heads away in disgust.
But now, he saw kindness, friendliness, and even… flattery in these warm words.
“What happened?” Before he could figure out the situation, he was squeezed into the venue by the crowd and the meeting began inexplicably.
“Ahem, quiet down! Although there are still a few representatives who are not present, they can’t wait for too long. Now, 1 announce that the first summary meeting after the war will begin now!”
Accompanied by a sparse cheer, sheets of data appeared in front of every representative.
The function of the Interstellar Assembly was to have a group of people come for a meeting.
However, the technological level of the Colossus level venue was still not to be underestimated. At least, many civilizations that had never actually been there before had invited representatives to participate.
The Galaxy Community was very happy about this matter. As for what their goal was, it wasn’t under their attention.
As the data on the table flashed, there was a lengthy congratulatory message, congratulating Milky Way for surviving this crisis, and not many people were absent.
Secondly, he wanted to thank the few lost empires for their outstanding contributions to this crisis. Although he wasn’t sure if those lost empires were watching, he still had to go through the process.
Finally, he introduced everyone who was present and added many honorary titles to the representatives of several powerful civilizations.
No one liked this kind of formalism. Everyone understood it, but it became a necessary process.
Listening to all this nonsense, the Pyro Alliance’s representative grumbled inwardly, “Let’s raise a topic later. We have to prohibit this kind of unorthodox behavior.”
The long speech that was as noisy as hell finally ended. The contents of the table changed again and again, and soon, the sleepy representatives became serious.
The originally dull atmosphere turned solemn, and everyone’s expression was very solemn. Even the faceless representatives of the fungus civilization used an electronic screen in front of their faces to represent their current expressions with the word serious.
“This time, these civilizations have left us forever…Then, according to the statistics, the number is still rising.”
“It’s a pity that they won’t be able to see the day when the stars rise again with us. All we can do is remember them and continue moving forward…”
The community hall fell silent. No one spoke, and everyone began to mourn at the same time.
This was the only thing they could do for the dead as living beings. Mourning in silence was what they did at the moment. After the meeting, they would use their own customs to pay tribute to the dead.
The custom of the Pyro Alliance was space funerals. They would build a coffin spaceship just to carry the bodies of the dead and then sail to the unpredictable void of space.
As an interstellar civilization, even if they died, they would die in space. This was their motto.
They would also hold such rituals for the natives who had perished because they hoped to let these civilizations, who had perished before they could touch the stars, feel the warmth of the universe in this way.
The solemn atmosphere in the hall was restored after a while.
Behind the string of numbers were the corpses of countless devotees. It was because of their hard work that civilization still existed.
Expansions were part of the process of civilization, and remembering the past was the core method to maintain a straight path.
After the crisis, the cohesiveness of every civilization increased tremendously.
Their foundation was already very solid. Perhaps in the future, they would be able to see the moment when they shone.
“Then, let’s move on to the next step.”
The organizer in the center of the venue operated the instrument and opened the interface full of topics.
The solemn atmosphere also became relaxed. These civilization representatives understood that the real confrontation was about to begin.
“The first item is the issue that was interrupted due to the crisis – establish the Galaxy Council.”
The representative of the Pyro Alliance was not interested in this matter.
Their voting rights on this issue had long been sold to other civilizations at a suitable price. Now, he was wondering when to bring up the Space Amoeba Protection Act.
“In that case, the results of this discussion have already been decided.”
Upon hearing this, the Pyro Alliance’s representative found it a little strange.
“When did this happen? I remember that we’re still missing a seat, right? Did we miss a meeting?”
He asked the other representatives beside him in confusion, but he received an unfathomable expression, which made him even more puzzled.
It wasn’t until he heard the Pyro Alliance and the other representatives looking at him enthusiastically that he realized something. He then looked at the scene in the middle of the venue where the Galaxy Council’s name list was displayed.
Among them were the Star Alliance, the Conqueror Empire, and Servant Paradise. As for the Pyro Alliance, they were a little out of place.
“This… This isn’t right, is it?”
He didn’t know how the second to last civilization in the Milky Way Civilization’s Strength Ranking managed to get this position, but the expressions of certainty in the eyes of the people around him seemed to have explained something.
It wasn’t until he sputtered a lot of things like “I’m honored” and “thank you all” that he felt a little dizzy. He had no idea what was going on.
He really did not know that their actions, which they took for granted but were very bold in the eyes of other civilizations, had been approved by most civilizations.
The contribution of the Pyro Alliance in this crisis was obvious to all. If there was an evaluation, they could be called the great crisis fighters.
Perhaps the moment their leader gave an impassioned speech, contributed a habitable planet to accommodate the refugees and held the planetary bomb starter, the estrangement had disappeared.
What was in the Milky Way now was not a weak fire seed that was wavering, but a fire seed that had been reignited..
