Just when Topaz couldn't help but swallow, the scene on the light screen changed.

Seeing on the light screen, the Zaidiguo Society's archaeological team, according to the Emperor's guidance, went to several ruins to investigate.

Before long, the results of the investigation appeared on the light screen.

【"We found many artifacts in the ruins!"】

【"From the information we were able to piece together, scientists concluded that this is an alien species that calls itself the 'Vultaum Star Council'."】

【"They lived about 12 million years ago, looked like worms, were about 3-4 meters long, and mainly communicated with each other by vibrating parts of their bodies."】

【"But in the subsequent archaeology, we discovered many strange facts."】

【"First are the several huge circular ambers on the surface of Terra, which were formed by a series of antimatter explosions."】

【"At that time, Terra, which was still called 'Vultaumul', still had a large number of Vultaum living on it."】

【"And the location of the craters is exactly one of their largest residential stations at that time."】

【"Our scientists have ruled out the possibility of orbital bombardment, so we believe these explosions may have been caused by people on the ground at the time."】

.... 0

【"To be precise, we believe the explosions occurred inside these residential stations."】

Seeing the text on the light screen, the sentient beings across the universe couldn't help but feel a bit strange.

"Not orbital bombardment? Is it a civil war? Did the Vultaum break out in a civil war?"

"What kind of civil war is fought so ruthlessly, and even exploded inside the residential points."

"What exactly happened to the Vultaum?"

The sentient beings across the universe looked at the scene on the light screen with curiosity.

But the content that appeared on the light screen next made the sentient beings across the universe more and more confused.

【"We found the wreckage of a collapsed Vultaum space elevator near the equator."】

【"The counterweight part of the elevator was located outside the Vultaum synchronous orbit, as if someone had deliberately cut off the entire elevator at that part."】

【"Judging from the ruins, the huge cables fell into several major city centers near the equator."】

【"It is estimated that this accident caused at least millions of casualties."】

"This?! Is this a terrorist attack?? This is not a war at all, this is a massacre!"

"Did the Vultaum government just let this kind of large-scale terrorist attack happen??"

"Wait, look at the fossil remains of the Vultaum on the light screen, why don't they have any signs of running away?!"

The sentient beings across the universe looked at the scene on the light screen, and an incredible guess couldn't help but arise in their minds.

【"After a thorough scan of the underground of Terra, we discovered a large-scale man-made network system under the surface."】

【"Many tunnels have collapsed, and our scientists believe this is only a very small part of the Vultaum underground colony."】

【"The main entrance to the underground caves was deliberately destroyed, and the Vultaum cities and residents were all crushed underground by millions of tons of boulders."】

With the investigation of the Zaidiguo Society, more and more hair-raising deaths were presented before the eyes of the sentient beings of the universe.

The Vultaum seemed to have been massacred on a large scale, each time involving millions, or even tens of millions, or hundreds of millions of people.

But there were no signs of any other civilization taking action, and not even any signs of a civil war breaking out.

Someone in the universe finally couldn't help but say the guess in their heart.

"Vultaum, could it be that they committed suicide?" Force.

"Vultaum, could it be that they committed suicide?"

Watching the strange scenes on the light screen, someone in the universe couldn't help but raise this question.

The Vultaum on the light screen seemed to have experienced many inexplicable disasters.

Antimatter bombs exploding inside residential points,

Orbital space stations falling from orbit,

A large number of Vultaum buried in underground tunnels,

Each event caused the death of at least millions of Vultaum.

It would be fine if this kind of large-scale death happened once, but it happened frequently.

This made the sentient beings across the universe have doubts in their minds.

"Suicide? Millions of Vultaum committing suicide at the same time?"

"Sounds a bit incredible, but this seems to be the only reasonable inference."

"However, why on earth would the Vultaum commit mass suicide?"

"Could it be that they discovered some kind of truth..."

On the snowfield of Belobog, Firefly rested her chin on her hand and couldn't help but mutter.

The cold wind and snow scraped against her cheeks, making her pale face frozen red.

Some memories emerged from her mind.

She remembered the matter of the Glamoth Iron Cavalry back then.

In order to fight against the Swarm, the Republic of Glamoth violated the taboos of being human and used unique biotechnology to create the "310" Glamoth Iron Cavalry.

In order to control the Glamoth Iron Cavalry, the councilors of the Republic held their pale hands high and fabricated a magnificent civilization called the "Glamoth Empire".

In this dream released by the Empress to every Iron Cavalry,

the Glamoth Empire was a great civilization spanning tens of thousands of light-years, and the noble Empress sat on the throne, looking out at the galaxy.

She commanded the magnificent fleet, vowing to bring the fruits of civilization to all the wild borders, letting them experience the benevolence of the Empire and return to unification.

The Iron Cavalry was born for her, fought for her, died with glory, and was swallowed by the Swarm with glory.

But when the dream shattered, the Iron Cavalry suddenly discovered that the Empire they were loyal to had never existed.

The Empress, the Empire, the glory, the great civilization spanning tens of thousands of light-years, the magnificent fleet, and the benevolence of the Empire, none of them had ever existed.

The so-called Empress had never held real power; there were only the pale hands of the Republic councilors, and the former glory turned into the fearful and disgusted gazes of the Glamoth people.

When there was no glory and loyalty, the heavy iron armor became so fragile.

They gave everything for a non-existent Empire, but in the end...

They didn't know why they were born, didn't know why they fought, and didn't know why they died.

And so, many Glamoth Iron Cavalry also walked the path of self-destruction...

"Perhaps, the Vultaum also discovered some kind of secret..."

"... some kind of secret that caused everything they had to collapse."

Firefly muttered to herself.

Just at this moment, the scene on the light screen changed.

On the light screen, above that dead, silent planet, the stars were shining brightly.

And in the orbit of this planet, a broken, huge satellite was suspended.

The Zaidiguo Society's research ship slowly sailed into the interior of this satellite and began an investigation.

With the change of the scene on the light screen, people discovered that this huge satellite hanging in orbit was actually an extremely huge computer.

The design of this giant computer was extremely exquisite, with countless nodes hanging in its wreckage, making the sentient beings across the universe feel dizzy.

The Zaidiguo Society's researchers began to study these ruins, and information about this supercomputer was presented on the light screen.

"Hey, hey, hey, Screwllum, look at this thing."

Herta widened her eyes, looking at the supercomputer on the light screen.

The information of this computer was all presented before her eyes, allowing her to understand the Vultaum's design.

"Although it's only the size of a satellite, its computing power is even more powerful than your Planet Screwllum; how is that possible..." Herta couldn't help but mutter.

Screwllum's home planet, Planet Screwllum, was a huge computer on a planetary scale, with perforated tapes orbiting it, never stopping day or night.

The computing power possessed by Planet Screwllum was one of the most powerful in the universe.

Herta's Simulated Universe largely relied on the massive computing power provided by Planet Screwllum.

Only then could it fully simulate the feats of the Aeons.

However, this computer on the light screen, which was only the size of an artificial satellite,

had computing power that was not inferior to Planet Screwllum at all, and was even a line more powerful.

Just at this moment, the scene on the light screen moved.

Seeing that in the orbit of this planet, which was once the home planet of the Vultaum, it was filled with dense computing satellites.
