Chapter 628: The

From the budding of the first life on the planet, to the birth of consciousness in the first wise man, creating a self, standing in the wilderness, looking up at the starry sky.

While sighing at the vastness of the starry sky and lamenting the limitations of life, they would also bow their heads and ask themselves:

Who created me?

Am I unique in this universe?

Before me, were there more ancient existences?

Generations of wise men would all do this, questioning the heavens, bowing to the thick earth, pondering over and over again.

This is a question that only the gods, who have witnessed the birth of the universe and seen stars extinguish and planets cool, could answer.

Now, through the archives of "SCP-4138."

The Foundation has proposed an answer to all civilizations that no one had imagined:

Hundreds of millions of years ago, on a planet called Earth, a species known as "dinosaurs" accidentally possessed intelligence and eventually established a glorious civilization.

They expanded toward the universe, continuously establishing new colonies.

At the same time, they also encountered other civilizations in the galaxy, and a protracted war broke out.

The "Pioneer" civilization created "Fenrir" to clear all civilizations in the galaxy, and "Vidar" to protect life on Earth from "Fenrir's" attack.

After completing all preparations, the "Pioneer" civilization activated "Fenrir" first, wiping the entire civilization from the galaxy.

Only then did "Vidar" begin to exert its power, allowing the possibility of civilization to sprout again.

After another long period of time, human civilization once again stood on this land, and like their ancient ancestors, cast their gaze toward the vast star sea.

"090"

This time, without the existence of other interstellar civilizations, human colonial expansion went smoothly.

Until they encountered something unknown again, which could be some kind of divinity, or it could be the "Fifth Starfish."

More likely, it stemmed from the tearing within human civilization—a protracted civil war broke out.

The Foundation and other forces applied certain technologies to keep the cradle of human civilization from the flames of war and completely hid it from the star map.

And the human civilizations scattered across the galaxy completely forgot their origins and rebuilt their respective civilizations.

After another long period of time, "Fenrir" was restricted and preserved by the Foundation through some special method.

Countless lucky civilizations were able to avoid catastrophe, and eventually, after development, rushed out of the clouds and became one of the many galactic civilizations.

The Foundation's hypothesis is nothing if not grand, every word powerful, unfolding a vast scroll that has spanned hundreds of millions of years before all living beings.

Whether it is a corporate executive in "Pier Point," an interstellar criminal imprisoned in "Penacony," or the people of the Xianzhou about to face "SCP-4138-Fenrir," seeing the Foundation's bold speculation on history.

All inexplicably felt that an untraceable figure, an ancient fossil buried deep in the strata, was looking at the current universe through the Foundation's countless light screens.

When such a scroll carrying hundreds of millions of years of racial strife and civilizational change slowly unfolded, even many Emanators could not help but feel suffocated.

On the pier, "Tingyun's" gaze was dull, her expression slightly dazed.

At this moment, she suddenly felt that this ancient civilization named "Pioneer" by the Foundation was the true practitioner of the Path of "Destruction."

But unlike Nanook's "Destruction," the "Destruction" of the "Pioneer" civilization was full of hope, full of blessings for future generations.

Even if they were tired of the strife at that time, even if they chose self-destruction, they would still cherish the possibilities of civilization, and cherish a young civilization that might have no blood relationship with them.

After a brief daze, "Tingyun" suddenly recalled the alarm that had just sounded throughout the "Luo Fu" Xianzhou.

They were sailing toward "SCP-4138-Fenrir"!

It was not that she hadn't thought about controlling "SCP-4138-Fenrir" and bringing it under her command for her own use.

But on second thought, that would be tantamount to directly confronting the Foundation, confronting the Foundation's massive fleet, and even more so, directly confronting the Foundation's gods and supreme divinities.

As various thoughts flashed, "Tingyun" finally gave up the idea that could have plunged her into an irredeemable situation and continued to play her role.

She immediately revealed a charming smile, waiting for the opportunity to arrive, preparing for the next step of the plan.

……

At this very moment, all the people belonging to the human race seemed to see through the curtain of history and see the "Pioneers" they had never met.

Watching them nod slightly at themselves.

Watching them continue to move toward the end of time.

And before their figures were about to dissipate completely, a heartfelt sentence seemed to ring in everyone's ears:

"We are tired of endless war. This is not the future we expected. It is time to end all of this... So, young Earth race, this starry sky is entrusted to you."

……

"I have to say, the Foundation's researchers are really daring to think, being able to connect these seemingly unrelated parts and weave such a vast and majestic epic."

"Weave? I advise you to choose your words carefully."

"This hypothesis is bold, but it has a certain rationality. Compared to us who know nothing about the 'Pioneer' civilization... the Foundation undoubtedly has a greater say in this regard."

"I personally tend to believe the Foundation... This is the only theory currently capable of connecting the entire history of galactic development."

"No, more importantly, besides this theory, the only other thing that can explain why there are so many human civilizations in the galaxy is the even less evidenced 'Aquarius Origin Theory'."

"Whatever, I just think the Foundation is right! Since ancient times, the galaxy has been our human territory."

"Yeah, all human civilizations should unite on this, elect the Foundation as the permanent member of the council, the Administrator as the supreme speaker, and then humanity will dominate the galaxy!"

"Stop, stop! I said stop! Don't make such dangerous remarks anymore!"

……

But for those civilizations in the galaxy that do not belong to the human race.

This archive from the Foundation does not seem so friendly.

"Damn 'Pioneers'! Damn humans!"

"Since the 'Pioneer' civilization wiped out countless possible civilizations, as the actual successor to the 'Pioneers,' shouldn't the Foundation give us some compensation?"

"Don't dream about it. Now, besides those ancient human forces that have developed alongside the Foundation, who else can confront them head-on?"

"The 'Pioneer' civilization took the entire galactic civilization down with it... They didn't choose which race the future galaxy would belong to; humans just happened to be their successors."

"Both hate and envy!"

……

Meanwhile.

"Luo Fu" Xianzhou, the pier where the "Astral Express" is docked.

The pier is very quiet, except for the slight sound of machinery running automatically on the road occasionally.

The only movement that can be heard here is the sound of Bai Xuan and the others' shoe soles making contact with the ground as they walk. ===== CHAPTER 630 =====
