Chapter 403 The Fall of the Interstellar Empire (Part 1) (4K)

Nigel only said this one sentence.

“Every manager needs to be equipped with it; it is both our armor and our weapon.”

Out of tacit understanding, Li Ye did not pursue the matter further.

After consuming dozens of white dwarf stars, the wounds on Nezel's body began to regenerate at a visible rate, and her shattered armor became smooth as a mirror again, shimmering with a cold and perfect silver luster.

The aura of authority that belonged to the administrators and permeated the starry sea has been fully restored, even surpassing its former glory.

He slowly turned around, his massive body casting an awe-inspiring shadow against the backdrop of the nebula. A peaceful and clear thought entered Li Ye's mind.

"Thank you for your assistance, small yet resilient civilization. Your precision and efficiency deserve commendation."

With that, he gently waved his enormous hand, and two objects appeared out of thin air, hovering precisely in front of Li Ye.

A badge no bigger than the palm of your hand, yet containing an indescribably complex structure and a faint glow. A finely crafted mechanical device, seemingly composed of countless nested miniature gears and light wheels, radiating a ghostly blue light.

“This is the Administrator’s Badge,” Nizel explained. “It is my certification. With it, your civilization is qualified to undertake ‘interstellar affairs.’ This mechanical device is called the Realm Submersible, and it can open a short, stable passage between the real universe and the ‘inner universe.’”

Li Ye was overjoyed.

The Administrator Badge is essentially an official certification for administrators, and the interstellar affairs they undertake come with generous rewards, making it a kind of "iron rice bowl" for a civilization in the universe.

When his gaze fell upon the quietly rotating, eerie blue-glowing territorial underwater vehicle, his excitement subsided slightly, and his mood became complex and solemn.

Traveling through the universe?
What terrifying risks are hidden behind Nigel's nonchalant description!
This is less a thank-you gift and more a double-edged sword, or even a dangerous temptation.

Tomorrow's civilization will be able to explore the "other side" of the universe and experience more wonders never seen before.

"Be very careful," Nizel advised him as he left.

After completing their work, Tomorrow's Civilization returned to the Burnley system to continue construction.

As Li Ye picked up the manager's badge and looked around, a voice rang out again.

This time, it wasn't Nezel speaking, but a complete stranger.

"Thank you for your civilization's help to the administrator, and congratulations on gaining his approval."

“I am YQ-24, the officer of the Interstellar Security Council. I will be your contact person from now on.”

"Through the Administrator Badge, you can undertake various interstellar affairs from the Interstellar Council."

Li Ye came to his senses and realized that this Interstellar Council was probably the interstellar official body for the subordinate managers. He hadn't expected it to be so efficient.

After a moment's thought, he immediately spoke in his mind.

"Excuse me, what interstellar affairs can our civilization currently undertake?"

A few seconds later, several clear task summaries flowed directly into Li Ye's mind like a data stream.

[Current Civilization Credit Rating in Tomorrow's Civilization: D- (0%)]

[Interstellar Mission 1: Evaluate a primitive star system to determine its eligibility for membership in the interstellar community. Note: This mission requires assessing the technological level of all civilizations within the primitive star system.]

[Reward: 1 million Star Coins / Civilization Credit Rating will be upgraded to D- (15%) upon completion of the mission]

[Interstellar Mission 2: Assisting in the cleanup of long-standing environmental pollution in the Gaia system.]

[Reward: 5 million Star Coins / Civilization Credit Rating will be upgraded to D- (45%) upon completion of the mission]

[Interstellar Affairs III: Provide basic security patrols for ten standard years for the Aurora system, which is currently undergoing large-scale interstellar development. Note: This includes dealing with potential space pirate groups, interstellar smugglers, and illegal interstellar companies.]

[Reward: 1260 billion Star Credits / Permanent exemption from 5% trade tariffs in the Aurora System / Civilization credit rating will be upgraded to D- (70%) upon completion of the mission]

[Interstellar Mission 4: Travel to the Tate system, which is in severe turmoil, to maintain order, rescue refugees, and quell the war. This mission will last for 3 months. Note: This mission requires you to face powerful enemies and possess formidable military strength.]

[Reward: 70 billion Star Coins / Civilization credit rating will be upgraded to D- (55%) upon completion of the mission]

Li Ye quickly skimmed through the contents.

It's surprising that civilizations have credit ratings. Undoubtedly, the higher the credit rating, the more likely a civilization is to receive preferential treatment and resource allocation from the interstellar authorities.

After much thought, he felt that the best value for money was Interstellar Mission 4 – although Interstellar Mission 3 offered higher pay, it required ten years of work.

After Li Ye expressed the desire of Tomorrow Civilization to take over Interstellar Affairs IV, the other party fell silent.

"According to the records, your Tomorrow Civilization is in its very early stages, and your star system has only recently joined the interstellar family. I'm afraid we should forget about that level. May I ask what the technological level of your Tomorrow Civilization is?"

Light-speed travel, space jump, gene technology, microcosm, dimensional travel, space battle stars.
YQ-24 was visibly surprised after learning about these technologies from Li Ye.

"This level of technology is indeed capable of undertaking this interstellar mission."

His tone became more serious, even carrying a hint of barely perceptible respect.

“I must revise my previous understanding. The level of development of your civilization of tomorrow is far higher than the original assessment in the database.”

The Security Council official then began to introduce the Tete Galaxy.

This is an incredibly large galaxy.

The Tianyao civilization that ruled it was also a formidable force.

The Tianyao Civilization was a super civilization, meaning it did not absorb any other civilizations and completed the construction and interstellarization of the Tete Galaxy solely through its own civilization, eventually rising to become an interstellar empire.

If that were all, it wouldn't be so bad, but the strength of the Tianyao civilization was far more than that—thousands of years ago, it launched a great expedition.

The Great Expedition is arguably the most difficult feat to accomplish in the universe.

This means a civilization begins to expand into the universe, aiming to conquer countless galaxies.

Its conditions are also extremely demanding.

First, it has complete control over its native star system, with impeccable and unparalleled domestic affairs and people's livelihood development, possessing an absolutely stable internal political and social structure and a united collective will.

Secondly, the expeditionary fleet possesses exceptional logistical and energy supply capabilities, a massive population base, and a high level of population quality, enabling it to select and train hundreds of millions of qualified crew members, soldiers, scientists, engineers, and managers.

Third, cutting-edge military and war technology, and a massive space fleet large enough to sweep across multiple star systems.

Fourth, a completely consistent war command system.

If the Great Expedition succeeds, the rewards will be unimaginable.

First, conquering and controlling hundreds or thousands of star systems means gaining access to billions of stellar energy sources, countless planetary resources, unique cosmic artifacts, and unknown elemental isotopes. Civilization will be completely freed from any form of resource bottleneck.

Second, the ultimate leap in science and knowledge. This involves contacting and absorbing the technological advancements of countless unfamiliar civilizations, extracting their essence, and achieving a massive fusion and explosion of technology.

Third, the civilization's actual control extends from galaxies to a supercluster spanning hundreds of thousands of light-years. Fourth, the civilization itself becomes the de facto "legislator" of the universe. The rules and standards they establish (such as communication protocols, laws of navigation, and treaties for contact between civilizations) will become universal norms. Their values ​​and ideology will become mainstream.

Fifth, the name and history of this civilization will be forever engraved in the universe.

As Li Ye listened, he couldn't help but feel his heart surge with emotion.

The Great Expedition—what a magnificent feat!
One day of success, and you will be immortal!

As if guessing his thoughts, YQ-24 couldn't help but smile slightly.

"In fact, the Great Expedition is a goal that every civilization yearns to achieve."

The intriguing thing is that the administrators have consistently maintained a stance of neither supporting nor opposing the Great Expedition.

Perhaps, the rise of a cosmic empire makes it easier to maintain order.

“Since interstellar affairs have said this, then the Tianyao civilization must have failed in the end, right?” Li Ye said.

YQ-24 nodded.

"Yes."

At the start of the Great Expedition, the Tianyao Civilization launched attacks on 37 star systems.

Countless space fleets set off in a mighty procession toward the star system—this is just the beginning; the ultimate goal of the Tianyao civilization is to control 1000 star systems.

The 37 star systems quickly formed a defensive alliance and continued to recruit new allies, eventually reaching a membership of 725.

The flames of war instantly spread throughout the universe.

The wisdom and strategy of both sides' generals were fully displayed on the space battlefield. Their will transformed into an invisible giant hand, spanning billions of kilometers, using stars as chess pieces and galaxies as the chessboard, commanding thousands of troops in a magnificent clash.

Countless war heroes and renowned generals rose like stars, or fell tragically like shooting stars.

The number of miraculous battles and ingenious tactics is countless, and people still talk about them today.

This is no longer a war, but an era.

A magnificent cosmic epic woven from heroes and madmen, miracles and disasters, the coldest calculations and the most fervent sacrifices.

Every command issued, every engine overload, every warship's self-destruction—all are indispensable notes in this epic tale.

The flames of war burned for a thousand years before finally being extinguished.

The Tianyao civilization ultimately failed.

The benefits of a successful expedition are immeasurable.

Its failure was also extremely dismal.

The Tianyao civilization committed its most advanced ships, its most elite troops, and its vast resources to the expedition. The defeat in this millennium war meant that all the essence of this civilization had turned to dust in the universe.

The civilization's overall strength experienced a precipitous decline, with its technology, industry, and culture regressing dramatically. It fell from a once-admired super-civilization back to a weak state that it might not even be able to fully control its own star system.

The homeland is vulnerable, and powerful enemies surround us.

The surrounding civilizations that were once intimidated or suppressed by the Tianyao civilization, as well as the resisting civilizations that had sworn blood feuds in the war, began their counterattack and reckoning.

The failure of the Great Expedition led to the collapse of the civilization's beliefs, and the collective ideals that had supported the civilization for thousands of years were completely shattered.

Such a psychological blow can lead to irreparable internal divisions, self-doubt, and despair, plunging civilization into prolonged depression and confusion.

In the post-war Tianyao civilization, countless sanctions were imposed by the victors.

Militarily, the victors deployed a vast automated monitoring and defense network on the outskirts of the Tet system, completely controlling the system's transportation network. They also required the Tianyao civilization to retain only a very small number of unarmed patrol boats capable of maintaining order within the system, with their tonnage, firepower, and speed strictly limited.

Furthermore, they imposed a technological lock on the entire Tete Galaxy, effectively locking the Tianyao civilization's technological level into the space age.

Politically, the victors divided the vast Tete system into multiple trusteeships and conducted a historical reckoning, characterizing the "Great Expedition" as a sinful and erroneous act of aggression in the educational system and historical records of the Tianyao civilization, fundamentally destroying the cultural foundation for the reemergence of similar ambitions.

Economically, the Tete system is permanently excluded from the interstellar trade system, unable to obtain any external technology, markets, and resources, trapped in an eternal cycle of stagnation.

The victors firmly control the mining rights to all strategic resources within their star system, granting them only a quota sufficient to sustain basic survival, and preventing them from accumulating any wealth that can be used to rebuild the industrial system.

This completely stifled any possibility of the Tianyao civilization rising again, both inside and out.

"."

Upon hearing this, Li Ye couldn't help but sigh deeply.

This long sigh is an expression of awe for the immense power and astonishing ambition of a super civilization that once touched the pinnacle of the stars.

And a deep sense of regret for its eventual collapse and the turning of its towering buildings into dust.

YQ-24, the narrator, was also distracted.

Anyone who hears this history will be deeply moved.

After pondering for a long time, Li Ye raised a question.

"What are the characteristics of individuals within the Tianyao Civilization?"

He learned the answer from the other person.

Individuals in the Tianyao Civilization have reached the pinnacle of both physical and mental qualities.

In addition to developing the physical body to its ultimate potential, the Tianyao civilization also possesses another path of cultivation—the spiritual system.

They call this power "Radiance" or "Heart Light." It is not a simple superpower, but a profound, rigorous, mathematically precise science, a philosophy that communicates with the primordial energy of the universe.

Telekinesis, telepathy, mind theft, manipulation of will, and even communication in deep space.

Those who cultivate the spiritual system are called "Mind Powerers".

On the battlefield, psionicists can play a far greater role than conventional troops.

Since the defeat of the Tianyao Civilization, the victors have exterminated the Mind Power users and banned any citizen of the Tianyao Civilization from cultivating Mind Power.

YQ-24 also mentioned something that surprised Li Ye quite a bit.

In the Tianyao Civilization, it takes 15 years for an individual to grow from birth to adulthood.

In order to launch the Great Expedition, the high command of the Tianyao Civilization used genetic technology to modify the time to 3 months.
