Chapter 400: The Silent
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
The activities in the Exile Galaxy had entered a temporary state of stagnation. Li Wenyuan, who had been eavesdropping outside for so long, was about to leave the unmoving galaxy and participate in the events in this galaxy.
Although passive monitoring was not as efficient as active probing, it was sufficiently hidden.
Thanks to him, Li Wenyuan had indeed heard a lot of useful information and had a reasonable guess.
First of all, compared to the Silent and the Hunter, the civilization with lower technology was called the Exiled. This galaxy did exist as a cage, but it was also called the exile grounds.
He had a certain level of understanding of the history of the Exiled. At the same time, he noticed the similarities between the three civilizations in this galaxy.
To a certain extent, the civilizations gathered here were all Exterminators, not to mention the Silent. Although they seemed to have turned over a new leaf, it was an indisputable fact that they had destroyed countless civilizations.
In terms of dimensions, they might be the civilizations with the greatest killing sins among the three Exterminator Civilizations.
The Hunter was similar. In order to collect the energy for the mega ascension, this civilization did not hesitate to destroy galaxy after galaxy. During this process, countless civilizations and lifeforms would naturally perish.
As for the Exiled, according to Milky Way’s understanding, they were xenophobics formed because of the environment. They were also a group of Exterminators.
The three Exterminator Civilizations had coincidentally gathered together. Li Wenyuan felt that this was not a coincidence. He knew that there was a scribe’s plan behind this, and according to his understanding of the scribes, he suspected that this civilization was doing some kind of experiment.
It wasn’t a child’s experiment like the Great Separation that could be done by drawing lines, but a more profound experiment.
Therefore, in addition to listening to the situation in the galaxy, he was also trying his best to listen to the sound of distant places. Almost all of his free computing power was used to distinguish the huge cosmic noise, in order to try to find the sound of a possible scribe.
And now, he was even more cautious about opening the cage outside the Exile Galaxy. Especially after knowing that all of this was led by the scribe, he was almost certain that once there was a huge change in this cage, the scribe would immediately sense it and rush over.
The strength of the scribe was still a mystery. Without concrete information, he was unwilling to face the scribe head-on.
In the past, invading the Observation Terminal could be considered a small matter, but the interference of such an important experiment would probably put him in complete opposition to the scribe.
After some consideration, he felt that he had to establish a connection with one of the civilizations. Only through the fine coordinates given by the civilization inside could he directly cross the outer cage through warping and enter the galaxy without opening the cage.
He had not forgotten his purpose for coming to this galaxy. The Infinite Divine Armaments had said that humans had been here before. He was here to find traces of humans.
And the situation in this galaxy was so abnormal. It was completely different from the previous situation in the megacorp galaxy. If humans had left behind information, it must be very important information.
For this, he needed to enter this Exile Galaxy.
In the end, between the Silent and the Exiled civilizations, he chose the Silent.
There was no need to think about the Hunter. This civilization that was still committing extinction was not worth communicating with, not to mention that he had destroyed one of their Void Egg Hatchery.
And between the Exiled and the Silent, what made him make the choice was what the Silent was doing.
This was something he learned intermittently during the long surveillance. The Silent arrived at the exile grounds much later than the other two civilizations.
At that time, the cage there had already been activated, forming an isolation barrier that couldn’t be entered through normal methods. However, the Silent seemed to have an innate understanding of space-time barriers. Just like how they easily left the Curtain that enveloped the Milky Way, they also easily entered the exile grounds.
With their abilities, they could leave the exile grounds at any time. They wouldn’t be trapped here like the Hunter.
However, they remained in the exile grounds because they had yet to find anything special.
According to the information obtained from the surveillance, it seemed to be related to high-dimensional lifeforms like them.
They were not the only ones with high-dimensional lives. Just like the other two batches of World Breakers in the Milky Way that had been eliminated, there was more than one higher dimension. There was also more than one fixed batch of lives in the higher dimension.
The Silent seemed to be searching for that thing to uncover the secret of their higher dimension, but this wasn’t the reason why Li Wenyuan decided to contact them.
The real reason was that the Silent had already seen humans outside the Milky Way. Or rather, they were guided by humans to come and find this thing.
Li Wenyuan didn’t think that humans were a civilization that would casually give direct help to interstellar civilizations, especially when the target was a group of World Breakers who had committed great evil. It was very likely that the Silent was on the same path as him.
In the end, he secretly established communication with the Silent, and the delay in communication was resolved by his Pillar of Creation’s ability to change the law.
“—You said you’re a civilization that has received human help? We need evidence for that. It’s very simple. Just tell us something related to humans.”
Although the Silent was a little surprised at first, it wasn’t as vigilant as it thought.
Their diplomatic system had a unique reaction to the keyword human. As long as it was related to humans, they would not filter it out as rubbish information. After Li Wenyuan said the term Milky Way, he gained their trust.
“You guys actually know this… Looks like your relationship with them isn’t ordinary. Or rather, where did you guys come from?”
The diplomat of the Silent mentioned this guess unintentionally before continuing,
“However, we don’t care about your past. In fact, I think I’ve already guessed who you are. Don’t worry. Although we’ve done many evil deeds and committed heinous crimes, we still have a lot of respect for humans. We’ll agree to your request unconditionally. This is the price for our help.”
“Help in exchange for help. This is not bad. It can solve a lot of problems. In the past, our dimension did not have such things. This is what we learned here.” “Then tell me, what kind of help do you need? Let me mention this in advance. If you want to use us as fuel, then forgive us for refusing, except for this..”
