CHAPTER 821: CHAPTER 502: STAR GATE RUINS

Exploration Team?

Ji Xinghuo heard the first half of Quigang’s sentence and was initially a little intrigued.

But upon hearing that it could increase the chance of advancing to Shepherd Star Saint by 30%, at least, his heart immediately calmed down.

The Elemental Magnetic Array, such a top-tier star array of the Dynasty, is so difficult to meet the conditions, even in the ideal state, can only increase the probability by 5%. What kind of harvest could increase the chance by 30%?

The greater the reward, the greater the risk!

Everyone understands this principle. Quigang is not the kind of unreliable person; he must have thought it through thoroughly.

Ji Xinghuo’s shadow clone showed no emotion on its face, "I need to know more information."

Quigang raised his hand, with his palm facing Ji Xinghuo.

The body of the Silicon Giant grew crystal-like armor, and his palm was also in a hard crystal form, flashing quickly like a screen.

Weak light formed words, flashing briefly.

"Pre-Ancient Civil Star Gate Ruins."

Ji Xinghuo saw the contents clearly and was shocked.

Pre-Ancient Civilizations refer to the era before the True Dragon Dynasty, which has ruled this territory for over a million years. Before that, there were many civilizations, including those stronger than the True Dragon Dynasty.

Although these civilizations have long disappeared in the river of time, many relics remain.

After the extinction of the Pre-Ancient Civilizations, the Star Gates were also closed.

By locating some relics, reopening the Star Gates to enter the Milky Way, it might be possible to find the vast wealth left by the Pre-Ancient Civilizations.

Of course, this is also very dangerous.

Generally speaking, any relic surviving over a million years would most likely have powerful strength guarding the star-connected planet, such as intelligent machine legions, space fortresses, planetary defense systems, etc.

There are also some enigmatic things, even the Shepherd Star Saint, with a single misstep, could risk their life.

But luck may run out and the guarding strength might have collapsed.

Once you enter the Star Gate, you might find something valuable.

Ji Xinghuo pondered, a wisp of black smoke formed words in front of him, asking: "Which Pre-Ancient Civilization?"

In the True Dragon Territory, there were many Pre-Ancient Civilizations, with over ten having left written records. Three of them once ruled the entire territory, and one Pre-Ancient Civilization, at its peak, had a territory exceeding that of the True Dragon Dynasty, spanning three Star Zones.

"Blue Empire." Quigang’s palm showed the answer.

Ji Xinghuo thought to himself, that was indeed the case.

The Blue Empire was that Pre-Ancient Civilization that once spanned three Star Zones and perished more than three million years ago.

This was the most powerful civilization to arise in the history of the True Dragon Territory.

The reason it was called the "Blue Empire" was because its mother star was the Blue Star, a planet with a uniquely splendid sky color. The reverence for this color became the foundation of the Blue Empire.

Unlike the True Dragon Dynasty, the Blue Empire’s foundation was in the Milky Way Galaxy, they were an interstellar civilization.

The Star Realm was merely a bridge for interstellar navigation to the Blue Empire.

This laid the seeds for the civilization’s demise.

The Blue Empire was keen on planetary terraforming and colonization. Up to now, many alien species in the True Dragon Territory owe their birth to the planetary modification plans from millions of years ago, with fragments of "Blue Star people" in the genes of some races.

Though the Blue Empire had long perished, their influence did not disappear, it has been preserved in another form to this day.

Thus, the ruins of the Blue Empire’s civilization are the most numerous.

Among the relics excavated by the True Dragon Dynasty, more than half relate to the Blue Empire.

But they are also the most dangerous.

The technology of the Blue Star people was very advanced, especially artificial intelligence and mechanical creations, with few civilizations across the Milky Way capable of comparison, far surpassing today’s True Dragon Dynasty, comparable to the Star Alliance and the Eternal Empire.

Yet, such a powerful interstellar empire virtually vanished overnight.

Their territory in the Star Realm was occupied, all Star Gates destroyed, and the thousands of planets they ruled lost contact, becoming isolated islands in the Milky Way Galaxy, eventually individually picked off by a terrible enemy.

As for who the enemy was, no one knows to this day.

Some say it was a hostile civilization beyond the domain, others say it was an unrivaled being above the Eighth Rank, and some even suggest it was the Star God!

After destroying the Blue Empire, this enemy left no trace and disappeared.

The True Dragon Territory entered a long period of fragmentation.

Over two million years, several civilizations rose, unified the territory, only to quickly decline again.

Until a million years ago, the True Dragon Dynasty unified the territory and founded a country.

The True Dragon people learned from the Blue Empire’s lessons, using the Star Realm as their foundation, their civilization developed with a focus on individual evolution and paid little attention to the Galaxy planets.

As a Star Realm nation, the True Dragon Dynasty’s management of the Galaxy planets and alien species was very loose, with far less control than the Blue Empire, but the civilization’s vitality was stronger, ruling far longer than any previous civilization, continuing to this day.

However, the territory of the True Dragon Dynasty was also limited to their domain, incapable of expanding outwards and spanning Star Zones.

Both civilizations had their advantages and shortcomings.

Historical knowledge flashed through Ji Xinghuo’s mind, if it were the Blue Empire’s Star Gate ruins, the harvest would certainly be significant.

An increase of 30% in the chance of advancement may not be an exaggeration.

Seeing Ji Xinghuo not respond for a long time, Quigang thought he was going to refuse, and the words on his palm flashed again: "I am currently conducting relic exploration positioning, with a lot of preliminary work to do, and truly opening the Star Gate to enter will take a long time."
