Chapter 209 Alliance Date

be honest.

From the time he met Milo until now, Gu Wei has gained a basic understanding of the captain's personality:

He speaks in a very casual and sometimes shameless manner, but most of the time he only shows his tone of voice and rarely makes exaggerated facial expressions.

Of course.

This might be related to his square face with silver hair, which gives him a more marketable appearance.
But at this moment.

Milo's usually composed face was filled with shock. His silver-gray eyebrows were raised high, almost disappearing into the hair on his forehead, and his eyes were wide open, with even his pupils trembling slightly.

Gu Wei had never seen Milo with this expression before. Even when the Machine Soul Cult was mentioned, Milo had never lost his composure like this.

It is clear.

For Milo, who is used to seeing all sorts of things, to show such an expression, the origins of the organization behind Melendorth are probably even more astonishing than he imagined.

"."

A good while passed.

Milo suddenly took a deep breath and raised his hand to wipe his face.

When he looked up again, his expression had returned to about 70-80% calm, but there was still a lingering shock in his eyes: "Sorry, I lost my composure a bit."

“It’s a small matter, I can understand,” Jin said, unusually refraining from her sarcastic remarks when faced with the somewhat agitated Milo. “After all, the other side is the Alliance. Anyone else might have already fled with their spaceship by now.”

Milo's expression softened slightly upon hearing this, but his other hand still clenched into a fist.

"Um, well..." Seeing that the atmosphere was getting a little awkward, Gu Wei raised his hand, half changing the subject and half out of curiosity: "Jin, what exactly is this Alliance Date thing?"

If Gu Wei remembers correctly.

After traversing to the Star Sea, he first came into contact with the Machine Soul Cult, then encountered alien life forms that could appear through polarization rifts, the overlooking presence of the upper levels of the ancient tower, and the descending entities that caused trouble as soon as they appeared.

Then I heard about the tides on the battlefield, and the Eraser who escaped from the seal of the Fisherman's Wrath, whose origins are still unknown.
These things are already a mess enough, how come this Alliance now appears?

"The Alliance, huh? They're a bunch of complete lunatics, even more insane than the Machine Soul Cult."

Seeing Gu Wei's curious expression, Milo took the initiative to explain: "Although the Machine Soul Cult is classified as heretical, they are strictly speaking also looking for a path for the development of mechs, and have achieved a lot of results in addition to the concept of Machine Soul."

"Some of those achievements have been applied and popularized in the field of modern mecha design. Although everyone criticizes them, they are not without merit."

Gu Wei nodded in understanding.

It's like a cockroach in a rented apartment who likes Exusiai—most of the time it's disliked, but it can make some contributions in the medical field—for example, Kangfuxin Liquid.

Milo paused, a hint of hesitation flashing in his eyes, but quickly continued, "And the Alliance... their goal is only one thing, which is to overthrow the entire Starsea Civilization."

Gu Wei was instantly filled with question marks: "??????"

What the hell?

Overthrowing interstellar civilization? Isn't that a bit too abstract?
Then Gu Wei's mind raced, and a possibility came to mind: "Captain, could they have also been infected by the tides?"

The term "tide" refers to a phenomenon caused by the descendant entities—because they originate from the upper levels of the tower, each time they interact with alien life forms, they output a large number of negative entropy wave packets.

These wave packets will counteract the StarNet defense mechanism inherent in the Starsea, triggering an ultra-high-level vacuum renormalization. The degrees of freedom of the life forms on the upper levels of the tower will collapse into fractional-dimensional excitons, ultimately forming a spontaneous 'tide' flowing into the known domain.

During its surging process, this tide will pull and merge celestial bodies such as interstellar medium, planets, stars or asteroids to form a carrier, and under the composition of fractional-dimensional excitons, it will form a kind of life containing the consciousness of a very small number of alien races.

This is the so-called 'battlefield' that Milo mentioned long ago.

Up to now.

The negative entropy wave packets accumulated by the thirteen known descendants have already occupied more than one-tenth of the observable universe.

Therefore, if anyone gets any strange or unusual ideas from these wave packets...
It doesn't seem so hard to understand?
Getting carried away is very common; many readers had experienced it before Gu Wei's transmigration.

However, to Gu Wei's surprise...

Faced with Gu Wei's reasonably plausible guess, Milo actually shook his head: "No, according to the known intelligence, all members of the Alliance are conscious natural persons."

Gu Wei: "???"

He opened his mouth subconsciously, as if he instinctively wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything.

“Surprising, isn’t it? But it is,” Milo sighed again, his voice low and heavy, as if every word carried a heavy weight: “The exact time when the Covenant was born cannot be verified, and the identity of its organizers is unknown. The only certainty is their purpose—to fall into the ‘Old Testament’ and welcome the ‘New Testament’.”

Gu Wei frowned: "The Old Testament? The New Testament? What are those?"

The definitions of the Old and New Testaments on Earth are quite clear, and are related to Western Christianity:
Their canon is divided into the Old Testament and the New Testament according to time, with the dividing line roughly being the birth of Jesus.

However, this definition is limited to Earth; it clearly has a different meaning in the cosmos.

The result was once again beyond Gu Wei's expectations.
Milo shook his head again: "I don't know."

Gu Wei remained utterly bewildered: "?????????"

“This is actually one of the unsolved mysteries of the Star Sea,” Jin picked up where Milo left off. “Although there are countless speculations, no one still knows what the New and Old Testaments of the Alliance Agreement actually refer to.”

"Even the New Testament and Old Testament statements are just snippets of information revealed by members of the Covenant before their deaths during several major events."

Gu Wei was even more puzzled upon hearing this: "Um, since the Alliance is being so mysterious, why did the captain react after hearing it?"

"It's simple. Just because there's not much information circulating doesn't mean they're really noobs," Jin shrugged and explained. "The Alliance's reputation isn't something they earned by shouting around like those chatterboxes in some groups who're always complaining. Their record is quite impressive—do you know about their battle that made them famous?"

Gu Wei shook his head.

“That incident happened 500,000 years ago, and it was also the first major move of the Alliance,” Jin said expressionlessly to Gu Wei, pointing out, “You should know what happened at this point in time.”

Five hundred thousand years ago?
Gu Wei frowned slightly, but soon he remembered something:
"Was the first appearance of the Star Sea Civilization 500,000 years ago manifested in the world?"
