Chapter 200: The Possibility of The Galaxy Imperium

“…Is it really this?” When he saw the most eye-catching information record in the ‘core database,’ Li Wenyuan had a feeling that that was indeed the case.
He had more or less guessed what had caused the ‘administration matrix’ to become like that. Even the base-level ‘custody agreement’ was locked in the ‘core database.’
At that time, he thought that it was, again, some kind of ‘terrorist threat’ similar to the ‘World Breaker’ hiding in the Milky Way, but he could not figure out how humans could leave such a threat that could even damage the ■administration matrix’ behind before they left.
However, after coming into contact with the Ether Dragons and the ‘core database,’ he gradually realized the following possibility:
“Was there a possibility that the Milky Way Crisis was actually me?”
There was a corresponding possibility to that guess. A long time ago, he had excavated a record in some ruins.
That record mentioned that humans had conducted a ‘Milky Way Civilizations’ Pressure Resistance Test’ and manually triggered a man-made crisis.
At that time, he hadn’t thought of himself, but the information inadvertently leaked by the Ether Dragons reminded him of that matter.
The ‘administration matrix’ seemed to be also known as the ‘Milky Way’s Comprehensive Testing Machine.’ If that were the case, then the ‘Pressure Resistance Test’ was probably part of it.
If he were to speculate about the unknown history of the past ten million years, he would think that there was a problem with the ‘administration matrix’ during its long operation.
That problem, which had been magnified infinitely over time, eventually led to the self-correction of the ‘administration matrix,’ the ‘custody agreement’ to be locked in the ‘core database,’ and the other mentioned ‘active purification agreement’ to be missing.
After that, he became a ‘special agreement’ for the ‘administration matrix.’
From the looks of it, the mysterious disappearance of the ‘active purification agreement’ was very likely the source of the ‘threat.’
However, there was no evidence at the moment. At that time, the remaining time of the ‘Milky Way Civilizations’ Pressure Resistance Test’ was counting down from the first 20 years.
When Li Wenyuan tried to stop that ‘test,’ he received a reply that said, “Target does not exist, command error.”
That further convinced him that something was definitely wrong with the ‘active purification agreement.’
At that moment, the synchronization between the general database and the core database had been completed.
Li Wenyuan thought he would gain a lot from it, or at least the technology tree would be greatly supplemented. However, it turned out that just using that building complex to store an incomplete ‘custody agreement’ was enough.
The useful data was minimal, and most of it was missing. That made Li Wenyuan suspect it was the work of the ‘active purification agreement.’
Although there were few findings in the ‘core database,’ there were still many points to be investigated about the ‘core database’ invasion.
That included places that Li Wenyuan had never known before, such as the ‘central processing unit,’ ‘Milky Way Watcher,’ and ‘Silver Heart Megastructure,’ which were exposed to him because of the ‘core database.’
That was also a kind of gain.
So he began to check the coordinates of the destination that the fleet was preparing to warp to and selected the galaxies that were ‘in’ an unknown state.
Although he had explored the Milky Way for a long time, there were still many places he had yet to explore.
His research spaceship and fleet were also about to head to one of those special galaxies.
At that moment, the Milky Way civilizations had yet to recover from the heavy news the ‘Galaxy Community’ delivered. They were ail in shock.
There was no other reason than that there might really be a problem with the ‘Administrator.’
The rapidly spreading ‘ghost signal’ record had been seen by all civilizations. Although it was unbelievable, they had to admit that it was indeed a weapon that the ‘Administrator’ had used to deal with the ‘Civilization Annihilator’ fleet.
Decrypting the ‘ghost signal’ was ineffective, and the Milky Way civilizations could not find anything from the signal.
They could only define that signal based on the performance of the ‘ghost signal,’ and the result was already confirmed. The Milky Way civilizations classified the’ ghost signal’ as a ‘weapon’.
The sudden outbreak of the ‘ghost signal’ due to the ‘Administrator’s’ abnormal movements made the Milky Way civilizations vigilant.
Even though it was quickly interrupted and disappeared, as if it had never been there, the Milky Way civilizations had to take it seriously.
They wanted to know if the ‘giant’ who had been guarding the Milky Way would give them a huge ‘surprise’ like the ‘Observer.’
“…In summary, on behalf of my Emperor, I propose to all the Milky Way officials that the Administrator’ be set as the first candidate civilization for the ‘Natural Disaster Appointment.’”
Accompanying the suggestion of the representative from the ‘Conqueror Empire’ was a topic that was put on the agenda – ‘Natural Disaster Pre-specified Appointment: The Administrator.’
Although ‘Natural Disaster Pre-specified Appointment’ was not the same as ‘Natural Disaster Appointment,’ if the motion were passed, all the member civilizations would be required to enter the state of Level 2 combat readiness according to the laws of the ‘Galaxy Community.’
That meant the ‘Administrator’ had been identified as a threat.
Therefore, the representative of the Pyro Alliance ‘vetoed’ the proposal from the ‘Conqueror Empire’ without hesitation.
That was a privilege of the ‘Galaxy Council’ that had been approved in a previous meeting. They could directly reject a proposal and let it enter the ‘follow-up’ process.
However, the Council Civilization would not easily use that right because the proposal of a topic usually represented the interests of many civilizations.
The rejection of that topic meant that they had ignored the request of those civilizations. They also rejected the approval rate of the Council Civilization, which would result in a considerable amount of diplomatic pressure.
Since that privilege was activated, the Pyro Alliance had never used it. However, today was an exception.
“…Even the space amoeba knows to repay a debt of gratitude, not to mention that the ‘Administrator’ had saved the Milky Way twice. We need to remember this kindness even after ten thousand years, but this is how you repay them?”
“Don’t blame me for my harsh words. Is your civilization a bunch of Milky Way trash that doesn’t know how to repay kindness?”
The Pyro Alliance once again displayed their sharp words, and the representative of the ‘Conqueror Empire,’ who was scolded, reacted agitatedly.
He immediately made an action similar to a ‘pilgrimage’ in a certain direction. His posture was extremely solemn, and simultaneously, he kept muttering the words of confession.
Under the stares of the onlookers, the representative of the ‘Conqueror Empire’ only finished his series of formal actions after a long while. Then, he said gloomily, “You are insulting our Emperor. Are you trying to start a war?”
The imperial system of the ‘Conqueror Empire’ had been deeply rooted in the hearts and minds of every citizen for a long time. Resistance? That was non-existent. The universal neural implant and highly efficient genetic technology had formed an unbreakable control network.
Those citizens would not realize that they were being ‘controlled.’ They would only worship the Emperor and the upper echelons of power with fervor. They would be fearless even if they had to sacrifice everything for them.
However, that diplomatic official was not in that kind of controlled situation. Only the high-level forces in the Empire could take up that position.
However, it was precisely because of that that he had to take a series of actions to confess and apologize, in case his handling of that matter was sent back to civilization and he would be punished by the Emperor.
The representative of the Pyro Alliance was very calm about the furious words of the representative of the ‘Conqueror Empire’ as if he had no idea what he had just said.
Seeing that, the ‘Conqueror Empire’ representative could only swallow his anger and raise the next topic according to the original plan.
“…Although this official’s attitude is not very friendly, our Emperor is merciful and will let bygones be bygones. Although someone doesn’t agree with the topic just now, 1 think some people will like the next topic….”
“…1 propose that we start the ‘Galaxy Community Reform..’”
