Chapter 1118: Chapter 165: Gao Mu

Xu Mo left Cleo’s office. Gao Mu had been cultivating at the Mystic God Temple yesterday, and he himself is an exceptionally talented individual at the Mystic God Temple on Chloe Star, ranking second among the Skywalkers on Chloe Star’s Mystic God Ranking.

This is not something that Aresta can compare to. Even the Mystic God Temple must take it seriously; it’s impossible to investigate Gao Mu just because of suspicion.

After all, Gao Mu has an alibi.

In matters like this, Xu Mo had no way to involve the Mystic God Temple, nor was it convenient to do so. They are all Mystic God Temple cultivators, and his ranking is not as high as the other person’s. Why would the Mystic God Temple investigate another person for him?

Xu Mo had not become so arrogant as to consider the Mystic God Temple his own.

After leaving, Xu Mo contacted Erin Uranos.

“Xu Mo,” Erin Uranos called.

“Erin, do me a favor.” Xu Mo, being quite familiar with Erin, didn’t need to be overly polite.

“Tell me,” Erin responded.

“Help me investigate the Cos Civilization. If you can find useful information, send the data to me. Don’t let anyone else know about this matter,” Xu Mo said.

“Alright,” Erin Uranos nodded.

Xu Mo then pondered whether it’s possible that Gao Mu, like himself, also possesses a carrier of the Cos Civilization.

If that were the case, it would explain why he could appear in two different places at the same time.

Alternatively, perhaps there are other advanced civilizations, like the Cos Civilization, that have invented cloning technology.

For now, let’s wait for Erin Uranos’s information.

Meanwhile, Xu Mo considered whether to meet with Gao Mu to probe and understand whether their abilities were indeed completely identical.

After all, it could also be a misunderstanding, perhaps just a coincidence.

Erin Uranos found information on the Cos Civilization and sent it to Xu Mo’s communicator.

Xu Mo examined it carefully. The information Erin Uranos sent was quite detailed, recording the timeline from the appearance to the extinction of the Cos Civilization.

The Cos Civilization no longer exists.

The Cos Civilization was an extremely ancient civilization in the known universe, with a history of over ten thousand years. It was one of the oldest civilizations in the Empire, with a highly developed civilization and technology, and a well-established legal system.

Its location was in the central area of the Emperor River. According to the data, it should be the present location of the Coriade Star Domain.

The information also mentioned that the Cos Civilization was a civilization with beliefs, but they worshiped themselves. Humanity itself was the god of the universe; they meditated and cultivated spiritual power, taking their own spiritual power as the root.

Additionally, the information highlighted that the Cos Civilization had highly developed technology and was relatively a very perfect civilization. During the Empire era, although the Empire ruled the known universe, in reality, the Empire was very inclusive, with various star domains being autonomous.

Because of this, the Empire Civilization was a particularly brilliant era in the universe, accommodating the development of different civilizations, while having the Empire’s highest charter binding the various civilizations and unifying languages, currency, etc.

But over the historical timeline, even the most perfect civilization can decay; the greed of humanity is ingrained, and because of this, when the Empire began to totter, various civilizations in the Empire began to stir, contributing to the collapse of the Empire.

After the Empire’s collapse, the known universe went through a dark and chaotic century.

Even today, it’s only a relatively peaceful state, with wars actually present everywhere.

The war between the O’Brian Republic and the Kales Empire has never stopped, and the interstellar space is even more fraught with danger.

Regarding the Cos Civilization’s technology, the information placed emphasis on cloning technology. After this technology emerged, it received significant attention, and the Empire included it in its charter, with the Cos Civilization also establishing very strict laws to prohibit the misuse of cloning technology.

Both the Empire and the Cos Civilization knew the revolutionary change this technology could bring, so they controlled it with the strictest laws; otherwise, once cloning technology was misused, it would result in enormous disasters.

First, the population would swell infinitely, and they would all be the same person.

The disaster directly resulting from this would be resource scarcity, leading to war.

Therefore, the charter stipulated that only individuals with special status could undergo cloning, and at most, they could only undergo cloning once. The charter was uploaded into all intelligent bodies, becoming an absolute command, and violators would be shot on sight.

Due to extremely strict control, cloning technology didn’t go out of control.

However, this technology directly or indirectly led to the demise of the Cos Civilization.

After the Empire’s collapse, the binding force of the charter was gone, and many planetary forces demanded the Cos Civilization hand over cloning technology. To seek self-preservation, the Cos Civilization ordered the destruction of all cloning technology.

Clearly, the Cos Civilization also knew that handing it over would bring the same level of catastrophe; those who obtained cloning technology would ensure its permanent annihilation.

But even so, the Cos Civilization ultimately still couldn’t survive, eventually perishing in war, becoming history, one of the many civilizations destroyed in the chaotic era.

As for whether cloning technology was leaked, the information did not record it.

Xu Mo finished reading this detailed information, understanding the general history of the Cos Civilization’s existence and demise.

He recalled when he obtained the Chiyou Battleship, the intelligent body asked if he needed to generate a carrier. He agreed to generate one, and afterward, he even requested to generate more carriers, which was denied, and the intelligent body warned him about violating the charter.
