Chapter 2708

It took three million and ninety thousand years, and the expedition of the Tai Shang Da Ri Xian Chao formally ended.

They had trekked to the land of the Virgo Star, step by step arriving at the Hall of the Lyre Council, filled with ruined walls and broken walls, and from the hands of the last Lyre Chancellor they received the object symbolizing chancellorial authority—a rust-stained pipe organ.

"That woman..."

"Lyra, it seems, began with her?"

Yuan asked.

These descendants of the immortal sects, in the depth of their exploration of material technology, far surpassed the immortal sects, and the turning point of prosperity for this civilization branch was this woman, named Ge.

She combined musical art with the exploration of cosmic rules, putting Lyra on a completely new path.

This is similar to the figure of the Great Sun Ancestral Master.

And also, about three hundred billion years ago, a Lyran civilization chancellor.

Lyran material civilization was extremely prosperous.

But unfortunately, within a civilization, there should not be two civilization designations, two chancellors, two armies—this is the source of all turmoil.

"Yuan," "Exactly as you said, Ge's status in our civilization is the same as yours... and as yours in the history books."

Zhang Mo whispered.

From now on, he is no longer the Chancellor of Lyra's Song, no longer Mo, but Zhang Mo.

"Me in the history books?"

"This is not the real me, but a deified me."

Yuan gave a self-deprecating laugh: "The real me is just an ordinary person, far inferior to Ge, far inferior to Ding—on the cosmic scale, I am nothing but a grain of sand."

Zhang Mo remained silent.

He had undergone many genetic bodily modification surgeries, and now he has entered the dying phase, his lifespan short, not caring much about life and death; the reason he succeeded the final chancellor was to seek a future for the Lyran people after the war.

His surname is Zhang.

——From the materials found in the Lyran waste paper heap, it appears that Chancellor Yuan also surnamed Zhang; reasonable political inference suggests he might be Yuan's genetic descendant.

"Rest assured."

"Lyran citizens will live better in the future than they do now." Yuan sighed, saying: "The current trend of division will gradually be healed, citizens holding separatist views will be harshly struck, at most within a million years, the entire immortal sect will return to unity, there will no longer be this brief detour branch of Lyra, and the civil war among citizens will end."

"Brothers may have disagreements, argue fiercely, fight a few times, reach consensus, and still be family."

"You're right, aren't you?"

"Central Main Brain?"

Yuan slowly raised his head, gazing at a shattered tower piercing the skyline.

This is a tower that pierces the heavens, delving into dark matter and subspace layers, with network conduits radiating outward from the tower in all directions, connecting wormholes and star systems—this is the Lyran civilization's faster-than-light interstellar leap method.

A civilization centered on the Lyran Central Main Brain.

In the Virgo Star battle, the Lyran people's most determined resistance occurred here, where hundreds of millions of gene-modified powered armor warriors died, vast stacks of black hole array cannons densely packed like hedgehogs, layer upon layer of subspace barriers spread throughout, turning this place almost into a death trap.

The entire Virgo Star was nearly shattered.

At this moment, as Yuan spoke, signal lights lit up on the shattered majestic tower, the Lyran Central Main Brain reactivated, scanning Yuan repeatedly—this was a hostile scan, with nearly all remaining orbital guns attempting to lock onto this spot.

The Lyran Central Main Brain's database contained no information about Yuan.

Only a segment of information from the history books existed—a deified story, not a real person. "Lyran Central Main Brain!"

"In the face of life and death, all Lyran citizens believe the immortal sect and the Lyran people share a common origin—we are one people, we are one body; therefore, all citizens have reached the agreement to merge the Lyran Central Spirit Computer!"

"Please execute!"

Zhang Mo produced a document, his voice low and solemn.

The Lyran Central Main Brain fell into a crash.

For a long time.

For a very long time.

Until the wind howled bleakly, the heavens and earth grew desolate, an entire autumn passed, yet it still did not recover from the crash.

Around them, the immortal sect's fleet was moving, preparing to execute the destruction plan.

"... Executing."

"... Restarting..."

"... Farewell..." The Lyran Central Main Brain's signal lights flashed urgently, amidst the humming mechanical sound came faint traces of sorrowful emotion, as it underwent a complete restart.

After an unknown duration, the Lyran Central Main Brain completed its restart.

"Welcome your arrival at Virgo Star, Your Excellency Chancellor."

"Following the will of all citizens, the Great Schism Era has ended; henceforth there will only be the immortal sect. Lyra is a mistaken path we have walked, and henceforth we must remain vigilant and eradicate this separatist tendency that harms civilization."

The voice of the restarted Lyran Central Main Brain carried humming and mechanical tones, completely different from the Lyran Central Spirit Computer.

In fact, the will of the Central Spirit Computer existing within the immortal sect's fleet had already descended upon the Lyran Central Main Brain, merging with its program; the name Lyran Central Main Brain will henceforth be erased, and only the Lyran branch of the Central Spirit Computer will remain here.

From now on, the pattern of one civilization with two super-intelligent cores will disappear.

"Transmit Lyran civilization's scientific and historical data rearward."

"Henceforth we will strive together for the benefit and happiness of all citizens—this is the mission entrusted to us by the citizens."

Yuan gave a slight nod.

Undoubtedly, in material technology, the Lyran civilization far surpasses the immortal sect's material civilization.

This war utterly shattered Lyran separatist tendencies, allowing civilization to reunite once more—this undoubtedly caused the immortal sect's material technology to surge wildly. Through mutual learning, the immortal sect's immortal-path technology will likewise improve due to the existence of material technology.

This is the variable that Tai Shang Da Ri Gu Huang has long pondered.

Tai Shang Da Ri Tian Shu.

"Variable..."

"The variable has arrived..."

Jiang Ding muttered to himself.

The data volume, as vast as cosmic tides, of the Tianqin civilization's information transmission entered the Central Array Spirit Computer of the solar system, and was then downloaded, analyzed by the immortal soul of Tai Shang Da Ri Gu Huang, involving the photon barrier, black hole array cannon, subspace, the musical expansion of the Kaliope-Einstein field equations, different vibrational modes of cosmic strings, and the replacement of Maxwell's equations with musical electromagnetic equations...

One item after another of the flourishing, developed technology of the Tianqin civilization was read by Tai Shang Da Ri Gu Huang.

These entirely new material technologies were completely different from any inheritance of the Shi Dao Wen Ming civilization; they constituted a brand-new scientific system that instantly brought Tai Shang Da Ri Gu Huang a multitude of inspirations and possibilities, so that there was no longer the dull feeling of a stagnant pool where every variable had to be slowly ground down and accumulated.

"Your Excellency, the Regent of the Great Sun,"

"The Tianqin separatist tendency still exists, which is the seed of the Tianqin civilization; historically, the Tianqin civilization excelled at repeated revival and restart, with its highest technological achievement lying in the Civilization Seed Project. The Tianqin Central Core, upon restart, thoroughly deleted all data concerning the civilization seed and the restart process." "The Citizens' Assembly of the Immortal Sect inquires your opinion on this matter, your viewpoint."

The Central Array Spirit Computer inquired.

"My opinion..."

"Is to promote this matter, not to endanger these seeds, for they are our civilization's future and possibility; do not harm them. If absolutely unavoidable, as long as the civilization exists, that is sufficient—the name does not matter."

Jiang Ding did not hesitate, immediately stating his viewpoint.
