Chapter 344: Chapter 227: No Need for Skill, All Multiplication Zones

The Star Alliance’s archaeological excavation of the Dead Spirits Empire had been going on for several centuries.

Advanced technologies acquired through the excavations fascinated countless scientists, who researched obsessively and gradually influenced the entire society.

Many human planets near the ruins of the Dead Spirits Empire even regarded the Imperial culture as the trend of a new era.

Therefore, the Star Alliance’s understanding of the Dead Spirits Empire deepened further.

History, technology, culture, art…

Most citizens of the Star Alliance knew that there was a Dead Spirits Empire that once dominated this galaxy.

Its technological level far surpassed that of the current Star Alliance society.

So when the Dead Spirits Empire awakened from its slumber and waged war on the Star Alliance civilization to reclaim everything,

even Star Alliance children were filled with pessimism about this battle—

The Star Alliance’s most advanced technology was basically learned from the Dead Spirits Empire, and it had not yet been fully mastered.

How could this war be fought?

So the Star Alliance Commander, with a sense of certain death, led the fleet to intercept the massive army of undead.

The Star Alliance had deployed super long-range weapons of annihilation several light-years away in the galaxy.

If they could successfully delay the undead fleet and prevent the enemy from entering a state of space warp, the weapons could be activated to directly bombard this piece of the sky.

Use the entire fleet to set off a grand display of fireworks!

As for the one-sided slaughter of the frontal fleet by the Dead Spirits Structures…

It was meant to be a slaughter for them.

How could one make the enemy fall into a trap without making some sacrifices?

However, what the Star Alliance Commander hadn’t expected was this.

As soon as the battle began, suddenly a mysterious steam mecha appeared, single-handedly destroying the army of Dead Spirits Structures at the front in a short time—

It was like during World War II, while a suicide squad was charging forward, planning to blow themselves up with the enemy using explosives.

Suddenly, a tribal savage sprung out from the bushes, wielding a bone spear and stabbing a swath of enemies to death, single-handedly…

The entire battlefield fell silent.

Even the pilots of the warp ships who had just escaped from death and been saved by the steam mecha from the Dead Spirits Structures stared at the fading image of the steam mecha.

Their sense of abstraction and bewilderment far outweighed their shock and joy.

“Huh?”

The Star Alliance Commander was dumbfounded, rapidly cycling through countless pieces of information in his mind.

After a moment of brainstorming, he came to a conclusion.

[Reinforcements from the Third Civilization]

The universe is indeed vast.

Even at its height, the territory ruled by the Dead Spirits Empire was like a speck of dust compared to the entire cosmos.

Besides the undead and the Star Alliance, there must be other civilizations within the Asterism.

This powerful steam mecha, belonging neither to the Star Alliance nor to the undead, could only be from a third-party civilization.

This mysterious civilization did not wish to see the Star Alliance destroyed, so they sent this weapon to interfere in the war…

Upon realizing this, the Commander was ecstatic.

A single steam mecha from the Third Civilization had crushed the entire Dead Spirits Structure army.

Its technological level was clearly far beyond that of the Dead Spirits Empire.

With the help of such a civilization, wouldn’t defeating the Dead Spirits Empire be a breeze for the Star Alliance?!

There was finally hope!

Just then, a ripple spread out, swiftly crossing the vast distances, sweeping across the stars.

The Star Alliance’s communication equipment was also modified based on undead technology.

After the fleet received this ripple, it quickly transformed into consciousness and language, flowing into the Commander’s mind.

“Mecha pilot?”

The Commander was slightly taken aback.

What did that mean?

Was this the designation of the steam mecha?

Had the Dead Spirits Empire had contact with the Third Civilization in the past?

As the Commander was puzzled,

inside the steam mecha’s cockpit, Jiang Chen was equally surprised.

“You’ve seen a mecha pilot?”

According to the backstory provided by the Abyss Rune, the [Dead Spirits Empire] should be part of the [Native Dimension Calamity].

It essentially differed from [Infinite Purgatory], typically lacking the power to invade other world civilizations but expanding within its own dimension, obstructing the development of local human civilization.

Under these circumstances,

the fleet from the Dead Spirits Empire actually possessed knowledge of “mecha pilots”?

Another ripple came, filled with bone-deep hatred.

“Of course, we’ve seen them.”

“If it weren’t for you mecha pilots, we wouldn’t have embraced death and fallen into eternal slumber.”

“Fortunately, death has made us much stronger and granted us eternity!”

“In the past, we were able to defeat and exterminate you. Now, it is no different.”

Just a few words allowed Jiang Chen to guess the history of the past.

The predecessor of the Dead Spirits Empire might not have been a human empire, but some kind of abyssal alien race.

They encountered the human civilization of the past and launched an attack, which triggered the support of the abyss mecha pilots.

The abyss mecha pilots preserved the Seed of Civilization and left behind the Abyss Rune, guiding the human civilization of this universe to embark on the path of the mecha pilot.

Unfortunately, because the abyssal aliens embraced death and transformed into the Dead Spirits Empire,

the human civilization of this universe ultimately failed and vanished, and the mecha pilot legacy was thus severed.

But before they were completely defeated, they also inflicted heavy damage on the Dead Spirits Empire, forcing it to fall into slumber—

And moreover, they retained a backup plan, leaving the last Seed of Humanity on a certain planet.

After eons,

humans once again proliferated and stepped out of their mother planet.

Yet, they encountered traces of the Dead Spirits Empire in the stars, awakening it from its slumber.
