Chapter 396: Meeting the Void Again

Go back?

For the first active communication, the Silent Empire wanted them to give up this place that was obviously full of abnormalities and might even be their hope of rising. This was completely incomprehensible to the Exiled.

However, it was also at this moment that almost all the higher-ups and scientists here subconsciously let the secretion of emotional hormones enter a dormant state. At the same time, the two brains in their bodies began to operate at full speed. All kinds of substances with calming effects were transported to their brains in the process, allowing them to maintain a rational mind to think about all of this.

They felt that it was definitely not crazy for such a civilization to come specially to warn them not to do this.

Based on their past experiences, the Silent Empire had no interest in them at all. In fact, according to their observations, the Silent Empire seemed to have no desires at all. It seemed that they were only here to disgust the Hunter.

This matter was definitely a little special. This Wound Galaxy definitely had some secrets that they didn’t know about.

Therefore, they seemed to have a mental network at this moment. After manually controlling the secretion of hormones in the body, their consciousness gradually became synchronized, allowing them to roughly understand each other’s thoughts without discussing them.

One of the higher-ups stepped forward and took the initiative to communicate with the Silent Empire. He also asked the question that they were most concerned about.

“Why can’t we study it? Give us a reason.”

At this moment, the Silent Empire seemed to have returned to its silent state and did not communicate with them for a long time.

However, these Exiled wouldn’t lose their patience because of this. The sedatives that were constantly taking effect in their bodies made them unprecedentedly rational. Before they obtained an answer, they wouldn’t be agitated.

After a long time, the battleship of the Silent Empire said,

[Because these subspace rifts are related to the void. This place shouldn’t be like this. We think… your research might attract the void. This is a very dangerous thing.]

The other party’s answer was rather brief, as if he wasn’t willing to elaborate on such matters. However, the Exiled were still unwilling to give up and vowed to give an explanation.

Their request was actually very reasonable. After all, the other party’s explanation sounded too much like a riddle to them. Other than the new term void, there was nothing else. If some irrational people came, they would probably think that the Silent Empire was playing with him.

The Silent Empire seemed to be conflicted for a long time. The energy battleship flashed as if it was thinking. In the end, it said something.

[How should I put it… We haven’t spoken like this in a long time. It’s a little troublesome to describe it in your words…]

[You can simply understand void as a kind of cosmic threat, just like… the Hunter?]

[No, it’s more serious because the void has no consciousness. He will only assimilate everything in this universe to them.]

[And their most obvious characteristic is the void. There is nothing, and even time doesn’t exist. There really has to be a void.]

[To be honest, we’re not too sure where these subspace rifts lead to. We can only rely on our experience and instincts to determine that it’s not an ordinary sub-space. It might not even be a sub-space at all…]

[This is not what you call a wound. According to our guess, this is very likely to be the nest of the Void Cloud.]

[I just don’t know why those Void Clouds disappeared, as if someone had cleaned them up in advance. At the same time, no more Void Clouds were born.]

The words of the Silent Empire were completely incomprehensible to the Exiled. Although they knew that the void seemed to be a natural disaster in the universe, they could not imagine the specific manifestation of such a thing and why they attracted the void.

The battleships of the Silent Empire were silent for a while. It had been a long time since they talked so much.

[It’s also difficult for us to explain clearly. That’s something recorded by the plane we once invaded… No, the plane we once communicated with.]

[The civilization there is threatened by a kind of victim of the void and is inevitably falling towards the void until it completely disappears, leaving only the memory of a third party.]

[Because this is too terrifying, we left that place in a hurry. We didn’t dare to stay any longer, afraid that we would be entangled by this void and be destroyed.]

[As for the evidence… We tried to go back to that plane to check and found that it had completely disappeared. There was no trace left. Even the barrier between planes no longer existed…]

[Now that I think about it… The void is actually like a physical natural disaster? It can’t stop it, nor can it predict when it will arrive. Instead, it will appear silently and take everything away…]

The Exiled heard some special words from the battleship of the Silent Empire, but their focus was not on this but on the void itself.

Although the description of the Silent Empire was hard to understand, they still felt lucky.

They did not think that the other party was lying to them. The fear in the signal language could be felt even through the translation machine.

If the void was so dangerous, it was best not to study it. No one knew if these things would invade this place because of something. If they really invaded this place, they would be the first to suffer.

As they rejoiced, they also recalled the civilization that had brought them here. Then, they could not help but feel angry.

The technological level of that civilization was clearly much higher than theirs. The other party must have some understanding of this place to be able to point them here so clearly.

If that was the case, then the true function of this galaxy’s cage that they originally thought was used to seal the Hunter was debatable.

In the end, they listened to the Silent Empire’s suggestion and gave up on the plan.

After that, the battleship of the Silent Empire seemed to recall something and asked curiously,

[We found out about this from your communication signal… Don’t blame us for deciphering it because the encryption of your signal is really not good. We already know the content just by receiving it. There’s no need to decipher it at all…]

[In the past, we thought that you only treated this place as a natural barrier, so we didn’t come to warn you. We didn’t expect you to suddenly make up your mind to study this place… Is there a reason?]

In response to the Silent Empire’s question, the Exiled considered for a while and finally decided to reveal some secrets about them to their ally who had been fighting side by side for a while.

“…This begins with our origin. You should know that our civilization’s name is the Exiled. This is not a translation problem, but our name is indeed this.”

“We are a group of people who were exiled here. In order to repay our past sins, we started from scratch in this galaxy and activated the cage generator that civilization gave us at a suitable time to trap a certain group of people here.”

“And the reason why we’re interested in the Wound is because that civilization has long given us guidance. They told us that we can find a way to rise here.”

“As for that civilization, they call themselves scribes..”
