“Shocking! Has the legendary lost empire appeared again? The specialist’s explanation is here!”
“You should remember the two or three things that the lost empire has to say!” “Is this the dawn of idealism? Or is it the twilight of artificial intelligence?”
Such a large amount of news instantly occupied the interstellar forums of every civilization. Other than those civilizations that were more closed off, almost all the galactic citizens in the Milky Way knew about this matter:
The Watcher had returned.
Or rather, this Watcher was no longer the Watcher in the past. They were now called the Guardian of the Holy Land.
In name, their duty was the same as the previous Watcher, to protect the Holy Land from invasion.
However, after a period of observation, the current Guardian of the Holy Land had already carried out its duty of protecting the Holy Land to the extreme.
They had built an interstellar fortress around every galaxy near the Holy Land, surrounding it tightly.
At the same time, they banned all interactions at the border. Any attempt to enter the Holy Land would be regarded as a threat and expelled.
They had also completely sealed off their borders and did not welcome anyone into their galaxy, even those civilizations that had a good relationship with them.
To a certain extent, they were more like the Silent. They put an end to all diplomacy and only immersed themselves in their own world.
“There seems to be a lot of commotion in the Milky Way recently… First, there’s the strange movement of the Administrator, then there’s the discovery of the Silver Heart Passage. The megastructure, which is suspected to be the ruin of an ancient civilization that created the Administrator, now even the Watcher, which was originally dead, has changed its name and re-established itself in the Milky Way?”
Some sharp-minded people realized that the Milky Way did not seem to be peaceful recently. One big event after another was revealed from various hidden corners.
This had happened before, but it often meant that a turbulent era was coming.
“Guardian of the Holy Land… It’s hard to say how different they are from the former Watcher. Will the situation in the Milky Way change again?”
“Of course!” The people who communicated on the Internet were never shy about revealing their inner thoughts.
“Don’t forget that along with the Guardian of the Holy Land, there’s also a new unknown faction called the Great Khan!”
“The lost empire is not interested in the trivial matters of the Milky Way, but the Great Khan is obviously not the lost empire. This is undoubtedly the biggest impact on the Milky Way!”
Some people believed that the Great Khan would cause an impact on the entire Milky Way and might even become a crisis for ordinary civilizations like them.
However, if there were submissive views, there would naturally be opposing views.
‘”Great Khan? 1 heard that they were once the Raiders Civilization that extorted and begged everywhere in interstellar space. How can such trash be worthy of competing with us?”
“That’s true. Does anyone think that pirates can become the enemy of civilization? Are you kidding me?”
As a result, a series of news about the Great Khan quickly became the center of the online debate.
According to the current rumors, the Great Khan had yet to appear, and an unknown number of Khan candidates were vying for the position.
Unlike the idle netizens, the upper echelons of the civilization paid more attention to this matter.
They would view any possible threat with caution, and they would know far more than ordinary people.
They had already confirmed that two Khans were fighting for the position of the last Great Khan, and they even knew that one of them had an extremely special identity—the Prophet’s Chosen One.
This information was spread by idealistic civilizations. In order to obtain this information, the upper echelons of these civilizations had even reactivated their infiltration system after a long time, finally learning some secrets.
And the Prophet’s Chosen One was their biggest concern.
“How can there be such a lucky person in the world? As the Prophet’s Chosen One, that unknown Khan can obtain the loyalty of the pilgrimage fleet from the Guardian of the Holy Land every once in a while?”
In the Galaxy Community, someone found this very unbelievable. He was none other than Hawkeye Khan, who represented the Duncan Revival Race in interstellar space.
What he thought was the most unlikely had happened. His competitor had actually become some Prophet’s Chosen One just by casually strolling around.
The lost civilization fleet of the Guardian of the Holy Land was what he had been pursuing all his life. This was because he had once been stimulated by the powerful fleet of the Administrator. He had overcome thousands of difficulties and dangers to reach this step.
He also thought that he was the child of destiny. After all, being able to sit in the position of Khan at such an age was enough to prove his means and luck.
However, Lone Wolf’s arrival shattered all of this. Now that Lone Wolf had the Guardian of the Holy Land’s hidden backing, his chances of failure in the Great Khan’s Trial were infinitely reduced.
After all, anyone with a discerning eye could tell which had more potential, the endless stream of the lost empire fleet or the common goods of the Milky Way.
“This matter is indeed worth discussing. We can set the direction of the Milky Way’s energy market as an important focus.”
“The battleships of the lost empire are not so easy to control. If that Khan wants to stock up the battleships to make the Milky Way submit one day in the future, the supply of energy is an impossible place to go around.”
“Whether he chose to buy energy in secret or to rely on himself, this commotion will not be small. We can track down the corresponding clues.”
The one who spoke was the representative of the Seculus Vengeance Crusade. They had a lot of say in this matter.
This was because they had once received a fleet as a reward from the Administrator, they had put in a lot of effort to maintain these lost dynasty battleships. They knew very well what flaws the battleships of the lost empire under their control had.
Therefore, the process of dealing with the Great Khan temporarily came to an end. According to the information they knew so far, the Great Khan was still far away from the entire Milky Way. They could put the importance of this matter behind them.
“What I’m about to say is more important… I think many people have already received the news in advance.”
A representative in charge of speaking stood in the middle of the Galaxy Community venue and said, “Our exploration in the Silver Heart Megastructure went very smoothly. So far, every civilization should have more or less gained something.”
“Originally, I thought that this would be the new era of the Milky Way. We could use those lost technologies to help us reach the peak.”
“However, we are not as united as we thought.”
The representative looked around before continuing, “According to our reliable information, someone has a bad idea about the Silent and the Civilization Annihilator’s lost heritage and has even taken action.”
“I think it’s time to talk openly. The Milky Way doesn’t need these vermin.”
The representative’s words immediately caused an uproar in the entire venue.
As for Hawkeye Khan, who had been personally present to observe the reactions of the representatives of the various civilizations, he also looked surprised on the surface, but in fact, he was already panicking in his heart.
“That’s not right? It’s not time yet, and I haven’t arranged for anyone to take action. Could it be that I’ve been discovered?”
Hawkeye Khan only saw that the representative who attracted everyone’s attention looked at the rows of other people and finally fixed his gaze on him the representative behind him.
“Stop pretending to be innocent. Pyro Alliance, your crimes are unforgivable!”
At this moment, the Pyro Alliance representative who was mentioned revealed a baffled expression..
