Chapter 188: The Administrator

“The humans had yet to return, but their spaceship had appeared here. You, or you two, should be related to humans, right?”
“It’s unbelievable. 1 thought that no one else in this galaxy would know about humans other than me. It turns out that I’ve finally found someone I can communicate with!”
This Ether Dragon seemed to be very lonely. It was rare for her to meet an existence who also knew about humans. The talkative her instantly began to confide in others.
Li Wenyuan wanted to say that there were quite a lot of people in this Milky Way who knew about humans. At least all the lost empires were inextricably linked to the fleeing of the Enlightened Ones.
However, this Ether Dragon clearly did not know about these things. For some reason, she had been staying in this galaxy that looked a little special and did not have any specific performance. She was in a state of staying at home.
She was still talking non-stop, as if she had been looking for someone to say these words to for a long time.
“To be honest, I thought that humans had returned, but they never appear alone. Every time they appear, they come in groups.”
“So I’m sure you’re not a human, but since you can use a spaceship unique to humans, you must be very close to them, right? Perhaps you’re their successor?”
“But whether you know about this or not, 1 have to get it out now! I’ve been holding it in for a long time!”
The Ether Dragon was in high spirits, and even the signal it sent over was not very stable. One had to guess to understand the meaning of the entire signal.
Li Wenyuan also keenly discovered that the Ether Dragon was no longer using the universal signal of the Milky Way. Instead, it was using a special signal unique to humans that only he could understand.
He had only received such a signal in the ruins related to humans. The overly complicated encryption method made it impossible to crack this thing without some human means.
However, this Ether Dragon was able to skillfully use this signal. Her relationship with humans might be extraordinary.
The era she lived in was probably the time when human activities were the most frequent.
“You know what? Humans are really scary! For an old senior like me, who had experienced the Big Bang, they just beat me up without giving me any face!”
“At that time, although I was not as strong as I am now, I was still an existence that could easily cross the void space and arrive at this Milky Way. In the end, two of my wings were broken on the spot, and it took me a long time to grow them back!”
The Ether Dragon’s signal was filled with all sorts of emotional epithets. It sounded like she was speaking as a human.
It sounded very emotional and its way of thinking was very strange, but Li Wenyuan felt a sense of familiarity.
This wasn’t a complaint, but the feeling of exposing one’s dark history to friends as a topic of conversation after a long separation.
It seemed that Ether Dragon had not met someone like Li Wenyuan who could talk about a thing or two in a long time. She was also very excited when talking about this dark history.
As for the humans being scary which she mentioned, Li Wenyuan agreed. There was nothing more terrifying than humans in this galaxy.
Immediately after, the Ether Dragon spoke of her subsequent encounters.
“I was beaten up very miserably, but I was finally awakened from that muddleheaded state of madness.”
“It’s not quite right to say that I was beaten up, because I was about to be beaten to death, and I didn’t even have the ability to resist. This thing was forcefully installed on me before I regained consciousness.”
As it spoke, the Ether Dragons shook its huge head, and even the huge bow swayed.
Hence, Li Wenyuan looked at the big bow that was completely different from the entire Ether Dragon. Then, he gradually understood what it was.
[ Dimensional Adaption (Ether Dragon Modification) ]
[ Introduction: When we first encountered the Ether Dragon, she was a monster without any reason. She would attack any existence that approached her. This didn’t seem to match her background, so we found out the reason. It turned out that as she stayed in this universe for more and more time, her intelligence gradually deteriorated and dissipated with the weakening of her body, and she even became a beast that relied on her instincts to survive. Destroying this special life form that might be the last in the universe is too much of a pity. We have decided to cure her. ]
[ Special Remarks: This device can ensure that the Ether Dragon will not continue to weaken, but the dissipation of original intelligence is irreversible. We can only use this device to assist her in simulating intelligence with human thinking. Experts had tried to use a genetic method to put the Ether Dragon’s consciousness into an artificial body and turn it into a dragon mother, but this was eventually stopped. As for why this device looks like a bow, you need to ask an expert. ]
He was observing the strange giant bow, and the Ether Dragon had also mentioned the thing on her head.
“Although it looks abstract, this thing has indeed protected me…”
“In my remaining memories, 1 can see that I’ve gradually become a mindless beast… It’s as if I’ve been forcefully modified by something. Everything about me is distorted. Even now, I can clearly recall the terrifying feeling of my consciousness being in chaos.”
“I know that 1 might have already died once. Reviving my thoughts might not necessarily be my original thoughts, but I’m still very grateful to humans. It’s not because they’re powerful, but because I was indeed helped.”
“I want to do something for them, but I’m too weak. 1 can only be raised here like a pet…”
When she talked about her experience, the Ether Dragon was very calm. She had no objections to her identity as a pet, and she was sincerely grateful to the humans.
Perhaps this was the effect of the human way of thinking. At least the virtue of gratitude was passed down in her bloodline.
After saying those words, the Ether Dragon spoke of its purpose for staying here. At the same time, it made Li Wenyuan suppress the thought of praising humans in his heart.
“And so, I was transformed into a female dragon. I was the one who suggested it because 1 wanted humans to see our race grow stronger.”
“I’ve already laid a few eggs on the planet of this galaxy, but for some reason, there hasn’t been any movement for a long time.”
“In order to protect the egg, 1 can only stay in this galaxy. I didn’t even have the time to say goodbye when the humans left…”
Her signal was a little sad. It seemed that she really cared about this matter.
Li Wenyuan did not know what to say. It was very normal for creatures like the Ether Dragons, which were born before the Big Bang, to be genderless.
However, humans had actually modified it into a female and even allowed her to lay eggs to give birth to offspring. To a certain extent, it was already powerful enough.
In the end, the Ether Dragons grieved for a while before asking a question.
“Speaking of which… I’ve been talking to myself for so long, but I haven’t had the time to ask who you are.”
“We’re fated to meet. When the little dragon hatches, I’ll give you one, okay?”
“Even this kind of hospitality etiquette has been passed down?” Although Li Wenyuan was secretly complaining about the Ether Dragon’s passion, he still passed on his Administrator title.
At this moment, he was considering whether he should bring the Ether Dragon and her eggs back. After all, the Milky Way was still quite dangerous. It might be a good choice for him to take care of this human insider left behind from ancient times.
However, he did not expect that the Ether Dragon, who had received the message, to directly reply, “The Administrator? It sounds a little similar to the administration matrix. Isn’t that the humans’ Milky Way’s Comprehensive Testing Machine? Are you guys related?”
This unexpected information caused the entire galaxy to fall silent..
