Xiao Yu confird that he had seen this star before. After inputting the various paraters of this star into his vast database, with just a slight comparison, all data regarding this star imdiately surfaced.
“May I go take a look at the third planet near this star?” Xiao Yu asked.
“Of course.” the reception personnel said. “By chance, we discovered these pitiful intelligent beings of a low-level civilization. At the ti, they were being troubled by cosmic rays, and epidemics were rampant within their civilization, yet they had no way to deal with it at all. So without alarming them, we moved their entire stellar system into the building and used another kind of radiation to repair their damaged genes. They are very healthy now.”
This robot of Xiao Yu’s boarded a small spacecraft together with the reception personnel and quietly arrived at the third planet of this star. The reception personnel continued, “According to the laws generally followed within our civilization, except under necessary circumstances, we are not allowed to interfere in any civilization below Level 3. But since you have made this request, we can naturally satisfy it. This is a set of personal life-support equipnt. It can support you in living comfortably on this planet. If you need to leave, just call for us, and we will co pick you up.”
“Thank you for your help.” the robot said under Xiao Yu’s control. It put on the personal life-support equipnt provided by the Architectural Civilization, left the spacecraft, and quietly arrived on the surface of the planet.
Xiao Yu activated the concealnt system equipped on this robot, and so it completely vanished under the sunlight. Xiao Yu controlled it as it strolled into the city, his heart full of emotion.
Everything here was very familiar to Xiao Yu, including the sowhat disorderly streets, the surging crowds, all kinds of buildings… The people here all had the appearance of Earth humans, and even their gene sequences were identical. Because all of this had been created by Xiao Yu himself, using Zhang Shengya’s genes as the template.
“Aya, are you still on this planet? Lorna, what about you?” Xiao Yu thought silently.
This star, these planets, these countless people, and these countless buildings had all been created by Xiao Yu back then for Zhang Shengya.
Back then, Xiao Yu created such a world for Zhang Shengya, and then left the Milky Way Galaxy. After that, a series of events took place. Great upheaval struck the Milky Way Galaxy, all intelligent beings of every civilization disappeared, and Xiao Yu also left the Milky Way-Androda Galaxy Group and ca to this distant Maffei Galaxy Group. No matter what, Xiao Yu could never have imagined that here, he would once again see this star, these planets, and once again see this world he had created.
The technological level on this planet had not advanced by much. They still maintained the technological level they had when Xiao Yu created them. Now, tens of thousands of years had passed since that ti, and aside from the humans living here having changed generation after generation, it seed as if nothing else had changed here.
Xiao Yu did not know the reason for this situation. Perhaps Zhang Shengya had used so thod to restrict the developnt of technology here, or perhaps for so other reason this civilization had taken another path. Who could say clearly?
Walking through this bustling city, feeling the heavy traffic and the streams of people all around, Xiao Yu’s heart was full of emotion. It was already dusk, yet there was no sign of this place quieting down. Instead, it had beco even noisier. This robot of Xiao Yu’s had already activated its concealnt system, so no one could see Xiao Yu.
“What exactly happened here during these tens of thousands of years?” Xiao Yu thought silently. “From the Milky Way Galaxy to the Maffei One Galaxy, the distance between them is tens of millions of light years. Who was it that moved this stellar system here?”
It seed that the reception personnel had sensed Xiao Yu’s interest in this planet, because their voice ca through the communication equipnt to this robot. “Encountering this stellar system was rely an accident. They do not seem to be native residents of the Maffei One Galaxy. They seem to have co from another galaxy. As for who moved them here, we do not know. It was precisely because of the change of galaxy, after arriving in a different environnt and being exposed to new radiation, that such a serious epidemic broke out within their civilization. If we had not discovered them in ti, this planet should already have beco a dead planet.”
“Thank you for your kindness.” Xiao Yu said. “The residents of this planet have certain connections to . Thank you for saving them. Let them live peacefully under your protection. I believe you will take good care of them.”
Xiao Yu did not say more, nor did he explain what kind of connection it was. The reception personnel therefore did not ask any further.
Xiao Yu continued walking, all the way to the center of the city. There stood a huge complex of buildings resembling an ancient imperial palace, and Xiao Yu silently entered it. Perhaps within this palace there was so diligent monarch, perhaps there was also a vast imperial harem, or perhaps there were certain pitiful won using their ridiculous sches to struggle endlessly there. There might be loyal ministers, or there might be treacherous ministers, and perhaps there were countless stories of sorrow and joy being acted out here. But Xiao Yu had no interest in any of it.
Xiao Yu ca to the archive storage area of this empire. These were so rooms in a corner of the palace, where thick books were stored. In them could be found all the records of this civilization from the ti it first gained writing up to the present.
Through a special technology, this robot of Xiao Yu’s extracted all the information recorded in all the books here within a few seconds, then transmitted that information back to his mind. Then in less than one ten-thousandth of a second afterward, the complete history of this civilization had already passed once through Xiao Yu’s mind.
Within it, Xiao Yu found traces of Zhang Shengya’s existence. The history books recorded that she was an unparalleled woman who seed to have descended from the heavens. Like a bright lamp, she illuminated the direction in which the entire empire advanced. She possessed an ageless face and abilities like those of an immortal. People all said that she was a fairy from the heavens who had descended into the mortal world.
She had watched over this empire for several thousand years. One ruler after another was born and then grew old, and every ruler had to receive her authorization before they could legally ascend the throne. Under her care, the empire grew healthier and healthier, and the people lived in peace and contentnt…
The history books said that those were the brightest several thousand years in the empire’s history.
But one day, other gods from the heavens descended and took her away together with the maidservants by her side who likewise possessed agelessness, riding in enormous flying craft. After that, disaster descended upon this land.
“Enormous flying craft… those were probably the spaceships of the Divine Ark Civilization and the Pegasus Civilization. Perhaps by that ti, the Divine Ark Civilization and the Pegasus Civilization had already sensed that great changes were about to occur in the Milky Way Galaxy, so they took her away in advance to protect her.” Xiao Yu thought silently.
The history books recorded that one night after she left, all the stars in the sky suddenly disappeared. Moreover, the sky would often take on either an azure blue or a blood-red color, as if the heavens themselves were bleeding. This situation lasted for several years. After those several years passed, the stars reappeared, but they were already completely different from before.
What reappeared was a completely unfamiliar starry sky. Only a very few stars were still the familiar ones, these stars were the other planets in this stellar system, Xiao Yu thought. As for all the other stars, people did not recognize any of them. People relied on the movent of the stars in the sky to guide agriculture, and this caused a period of chaos that took several years before they barely adapted.
People wore gloomy expressions all day long. Beginning with the monarch, the entire imperial family began kneeling and praying before the palace where she had once lived, praying that she would return once again to the land she had once protected. People generally believed that it was because their own behavior had disappointed her that she had left and no longer protected this land.
“With her here, disaster does not dare descend upon us. Once she is gone, disaster will co.” That was what people thought.
And the facts seed to be just as people thought. Within several decades after the stars reappeared in the night sky, a strange epidemic quietly began to spread among the population. Those who contracted it would have their whole bodies ulcerate and sprout cysts, and in the end they would vomit blood and die. The empire’s dical system was helpless in the face of this illness. It did not seem to be an infectious disease. Cases could appear in any group of people. The empire’s population therefore began to steadily decline. People could do absolutely nothing about this disease. The only thing they could do was pray endlessly, praying that she would return once again.
“This is obviously a disease caused by exposure to cosmic radiation. Clearly, these intelligent beings born in the Milky Way Galaxy had no way of adapting to the environnt of the Maffei One Galaxy.” Xiao Yu thought silently.
Perhaps the prayers had worked, because on one certain day this epidemic suddenly vanished again. Those who were sick began to recover their health, and among those who had not been sick, not a single one contracted the disease ever again. One sowhat worrying thing was that all the stars in the sky disappeared once again, except for the few most familiar ones.
“This was when the Architectural Civilization discovered them and moved them, together with this entire stellar system, into the building.” Xiao Yu thought.
There were no more valuable records after this point. All the rest was simply the developntal history of the empire, and Xiao Yu had no interest in such things.
