Chapter 333: Hope of Recovery

“I should have realized it long ago… Since there are creatures like the Ether Dragons that can withstand the Big Bang, perhaps there are civilizations that can do the same thing.”

“I just didn’t expect the civilization of the last era to really exist. What was the state of the last universe?”

The state of the Firechaser gradually corrupted with the passage of time reminded Li Wenyuan of the Ether Dragon. At the same time, he realized that this civilization might have also experienced the Big Bang.

However, in the Big Bang theory, the beginning of the universe was a singular point with infinite density and temperature. In this state, time and space did not exist. It was still a mystery how the Ether Dragons and the Firechaser existed in this state.

However, one thing was confirmed in this experience. Life from the last era could not adapt to the current universe.

Li Wenyuan didn’t know what the rules of the previous universe were like, but there were definitely many aspects that were inconsistent with the current one.

Life could adapt to the environment, but the foundation of the universe was added to many of these lifeforms. Lifeform organisms would not adapt to this environment. They would only have life-threatening problems because they were not acclimatized to the environment.

At the very least, they had one thing in common now. They would lose their intelligence.

Be it the Ether Dragons or the Firechaser, they had all experienced the loss of wisdom. The difference was that the Ether Dragon finally met humans and temporarily solved this problem. The Firechaser did not, and they had not been able to solve this problem themselves.

“In that case, the Ether Dragon’s Dimensional Adaptor can also be used on the Firechaser?”

He thought of the big bows tied to the Ether Dragon and her eggs. Although the style was strange, it did save the Ether Dragon.

Even though her original intelligence had completely disappeared, her reawakened consciousness could still maintain a certain level of memory of the past.

Realizing that there might be a way to restore the Firechaser’s intelligence, Li Wenyuan immediately transmitted the special technology of Dimensional Adaption to the Lightchaser.

Assuming that he could save the Firechaser, he might be able to learn about what happened in the last era of this civilization and understand the reason for the destruction of that universe.

“From the looks of it, the archive seems to be a building from the last era, or even longer?”

There seemed to be a conclusion about the existence of the archive. The timeline left behind by the Firechaser was probably not long after the Big Bang. Obviously, it was impossible for a sophisticated building like the archive to be born at this stage.

The only explanation for these buildings, which were suspected to have existed in the galaxy before many civilizations, was that they actually came from the previous era and had been preserved through some method.

Perhaps the civilization of that era was unwilling to let everything disappear with the collapse of the universe and wanted to leave behind some legacy through this method.

“If that’s the case, could the data that is extremely similar to the style of humans but can’t be decrypted using the methods of humans now be left behind by humans from the last era?”

Li Wenyuan felt that he knew a major secret. Humans also existed in the previous era and tried to leave their records in the archive.

Even if the universe was different and the rules were different, the style of humans would not change. It could be confirmed at a glance.

Unfortunately, perhaps because the rules of the universe had changed, the data shattered and broke. The remaining parts were difficult to crack. It was basically certain that most of the data had been lost.

“Then, do the humans now know that another group of humans used to exist?” Li Wenyuan thought about this question, but in the end, he couldn’t be sure of the answer.

In the Milky Way’s archives, the current humans also left their records in the archives.

There were not many useful parts. It could only be said that there were almost none. The biggest part was a series of Lost Property Records. This made Li Wenyuan even suspect that they were just recording things in the file library as an ordinary database.

Only the curtain theory and the subspace engineering technology extracted from the Miniature Galaxy were considered direct gains.

“…But I’ve also done a date test on those buildings. The upper limit is no more than 20 million years. Compared to the age of the universe, this is too young…”

What stopped this theory now was that the archives buildings were no older than 20 million years under Li Wenyuan’s measurement. It seemed to be inconsistent with the ancientness of the last era.

However, Li Wenyuan felt that this matter was not far from his guess. As long as he found a technology that could preserve these things across eras, he would be able to confirm it.

“…I only hope that the Firechaser can recover their intelligence with the help of Dimensional Adaption. It would be a pity if their history is lost just like that. Everything from the previous era is enough to be called a treasure…”

Although he had such expectations, his attitude towards this matter was not very optimistic.

In the historical records of the Lightchaser, the Firechaser had shown that they had lost their intelligence a long time ago. That era was similar to when humans were still in the Milky Way, at least ten million years ago.

Before the battle royale began, Lightchaser and many other civilizations were busy building the Cradle Galaxy’s hyperspace channel. They were even working on building this faster-than-light channel before their technological development was complete.

The current technology tree of the Lightchaser Civilization was actually extremely different from their initial time. It took them a long time to adapt to the cosmic battle royale. The same was true for other civilizations.

There were too many things that had been lost in the battle royale. Time was of the essence, so they could not stop and develop quietly. Therefore, even after 10 million years, their technology did not seem to be very advanced.

They had never interacted much with the Firechaser, but they were certain that the Firechaser had already sealed themselves before the battle royale began. They rarely interacted with the outside world.

The only time in the history of the Lightchaser Civilization that they had come into contact with the Firechaser was when they had just entered space. They had been warned by the Firechaser to stay away from the border.

Although they were expelled, Firechaser had given them an archaeologically precise technology while warning them. Even today, Lightchaser was still using this technology.

It was also because of this that they were able to find the archive in the vast galaxy and extract lost data from it to strengthen themselves.

In order to commemorate the help of the Firechaser, they changed the name of their civilization to the Lightchaser, hoping to pass on the torch of civilization like the lost empire.

However, in the following period of time, the Lightchaser Civilization did look for the Firechaser again, but this time, the Firechaser did not even give warnings. They were in a completely silent state. All creatures or ships that invaded their borders would be destroyed.

And this time was already 10 million years ago.. After 10 million years, could the Firechaser, who had long lost its intelligence, really regain its intelligence?
