Time travel to become the guardian AI of a lost civilization

Chapter 49 The "Mission" of the Lost Empire

"50."

While the large group of Dankam was discussing what this "50 years" was, the same voice appeared within the "Watcher" Lost Empire.

They seem to have also entered the "virtual realm" and heard the same voice.

"...My friend, are you sure we really want to do this? Judging from the information recorded in the psionic file, the existences inside the 'virtual realm' may not be 'gods'..." Someone is trying Admonish your friends.

"I understand." The person being persuaded stood up and looked calmly at the person who spoke before.

"We just need a belief to unite the spiritual strength of all people. God may or may not exist. He is just a stepping stone on our way forward. If necessary, we can also change it." The man is the high priest in "Watchmen" and is also a leader.

Now he seems to have had some arguments with his friends, and now they are patiently convincing each other.

"Then you still..." There was some annoyance in the voice of the admonisher, completely unable to understand why the high priest did this.

However, the high priest suddenly smiled and said in an erratic voice:

"We have stayed at this stage for too long, and we need to find a way to go further... Those Zelo tribes have completed the feat of incarnation and sanctification long ago, but we still need to bear the suffering brought by the flesh... They can do it Come on, why can't we do it?"

"After trading with those things in the 'Virtual Realm', the spiritual potential of all of us has taken a qualitative leap, why not continue to use the 'Void Realm'? As long as we reach another world before the end of time, then' The Void' is nothing more than a field responsible for providing energy..."

The exhorter was silent for a while before continuing:
"...Our technology is enough to satisfy everyone's desires, and moving forward may not seem so important. We have all been silent in this galaxy for so long, why should we take the risk of doing such a dangerous thing? I don't understand .”

The high priest shrugged, with a special expression on his face: "It is precisely because of this that I am the high priest; and you, have become the target of our faith, our prophet, dear Zachlan."

The admonisher named Zaklan fell silent again after hearing this sentence, with a look of disappointment in his eyes.

"...So my identity as a 'prophet' is going to be used as a 'great excuse' again? Just like before we fell?"

"Of course not, Prophet." The high priest had a smile on his face, "You are the spokesperson of 'God', every word of yours is an oracle, all believers will fight for you, this is not an 'excuse' .”

"...Then I'm leaving. After leaving this star field full of spiritual energy, my lifespan will return to normal. I will find a place to spend the rest of my life. As for the reason for the outside world, you can find any one. Maybe later Decades later, another prophet will be 'born'?"

"Oh... Prophet, if you leave like this, countless followers of yours will feel lost, okay?"

Zaklan shook his head, and replied with neither sad nor happy expression: "I'm just a machine for issuing missions. As for believers? I've never had any believers. What I have are just a group of poor people who believe in the wrong god."

After speaking, he left here without looking back.

The high priest's expression gradually returned to calm after Zaklan left, and the hall was filled with silence.

After a while, the people of "Watcher" knew the news that "the prophet left to find the 'chosen people'", and then fell into deep sorrow, as if they had lost a spiritual belief.

With the help of this infecting emotion and the powerful help obtained from the 'Void Realm', the "Watcher" entered a short period of tranquility.

Maybe it won't be long before they announce their return to the world.

The earth rotates, and the screen turns to the territory of "Mechanical Lost Empire".

The scientific division of the "Gate Builder" that is being researched cyclically brought a message to Li Wenyuan:
[The seventh analysis of the remains of those nanobots found that we need to control a stargate from the 'Gate Builder' to proceed to the next step of research]

"Is it the stargate of the 'Gate Builder'?" Seeing this news, Li Wenyuan began to search through the notes in the star map, wanting to see if there is any galaxy that has what he needs.

The results were also normal, and he did not find the relevant galaxies.

There are many places with star gates, but they are all built manually by those interstellar civilizations themselves.Judging from the star map, no one has found a special star gate so far.

"It's a bit difficult now..." If there are specific coordinates, he can go directly, but if he wants to find a special stargate that has not been discovered in this vast galaxy, he may find it all by himself. less than.

But then, he remembered a piece of information that he had only learned not long ago.

That is, the Lost Empire is not all in a state of being cut off from the interstellar.

Some lost empires are very keen to issue tasks to other young civilizations, and then give generous rewards to these young civilizations who complete the tasks.

Like... "Observer".

Li Wenyuan once thought that the Lost Empires were guys who were taciturn, would strike at the slightest disagreement, and looked at people with their nostrils.

But the "Observer" seems to be a more intimate lost empire, and it is also the lost empire that has the most connections with other civilizations in the galaxy.

They have released a mission all year round: to collect strange creatures in the galaxy.

Young civilizations can collect a certain number of strange creatures and "observers" in exchange for rewards. Some civilizations even hand over their own races to "observers" as "weird creatures" and successfully get a fortune for the civilization. Not cheap resource.

Some of these civilizations became the "observer"'s favored civilization because they completed more tasks, and were directly given a small fleet of lost empires as a reward.

After this reward was exposed, it also attracted the jealousy of more civilizations, so "collecting strange creatures in the galaxy from time to time" has become a compulsory course for every civilization.

Some civilizations even set up special adventurer organizations to compete against other civilizations.

After all, "observers" don't want repeated strange creatures, they only want new strange creatures.

"Speaking of which, I seem to be a lost empire right now... Finding the stargate of this 'Gate Builder' is a bit difficult for me alone, but handing it over to other civilizations may make progress soon..."

After roughly comparing the rewards of "Observer", and finding that there is basically no burden for him now, Li Wenyuan decided to send "finding a special ancient star gate" as a task to the entire galaxy until he found it.

As a result, those civilizations who were always paying attention to the movement of the lost empire suddenly all received a message from the "Guardian".

"Huh? Why is there a new one...!!!"

"Big event! The 'Guardian' has released a mission! They seem to be the third lost empire that will release a mission after 'Observer' and 'Farwalker'!"

"Good thing! Instead of competing with those guys who are already very skilled at licking, we should hurry up and make a name for the 'Guardian'!"

"Look, what is the mission?"

……

Other civilizations are discussing the new tasks released by the guardians enthusiastically, but only Ke Ruibo looks very sad.

"...I thought we were special... It really was because we didn't impress the guardians!" Breining wiped his tears and called the inexplicable bear over.

"Come and discuss, how can we quickly, perfectly, and impressively complete the task issued by the 'Guardian'..."
