[Soul Lighthouse]
That was the name the Voyager gave to the megastructure of the lighthouse.
After it was activated, by a.n.a.lyzing the spreading psionic waves, they confirmed that this was a signal that could affect the mind world of lifeform organisms.
Although all the emotional sources of lifeform organisms were the secretion of chemicals, it was different in the idealistic world.
This kind of psionic signal from the lighthouse would directly affect the domain of idealists. First, it would trigger the emotions of the lifeform organism, and then use emotions to promote the synthesis of the corresponding chemicals.
The effect was very powerful. In just a short while, it could make a docile creature anxious and irritable.
Although it was immoral to detonate emotions without a bottom line, it was more than enough in the field of resistance.
The Sentry Organization had clearly foreseen the outcome of megacorps controlling and enslaving everyone. Then, as long as this company discovered this place while constantly searching for them and activated the spiritual lighthouse out of curiosity for secrets, they would finally welcome a riot.
This was a riot that did not rely on genetic modification. The Soul Lighthouse would directly affect one’s mental domain. Even genetically modified people with the docile characteristic would become violent.
In addition, this galaxy was almost defenseless against psionic energy. When the time came, even the upper echelons of the megacorp would fall for it. The greatest possibility for this company was to be destroyed in internal strife, and this galaxy would undergo a new cycle of civilization.
This was another trap, at least for the megacorp that had once ruled this place. It was obvious that the Sentry did not have any good feelings towards this traitor of the entire galaxy.
However, although the Soul Lighthouse was quite powerful, it also had its flaws.
Firstly, the duration was insufficient. This Soul Lighthouse was not connected to any power supply line, nor did it have its own power generation equipment. It could only work for a period of time, and after it stopped working, the mental influence it exerted would gradually weaken.
However, the seed of resistance would indeed be planted. From time to time, the affected person would remember that they seemed to have had an extremely irritable period. This thought would give hints to the consciousness itself and involuntarily recall how they felt when they were irritable, and then become irritable again.
The other flaw of the lighthouse megastructure was that it would not work on the Gestalt consciousness or any mechanical lifeform.
In Gestalt consciousness, all the consciousnesses were a single ent.i.ty.
Individuals rarely thought independently. Most of the time, they relied on their instincts to move unconsciously. The lighthouse that stimulated emotions would not be effective.
As for mechanical lives, they were more direct. They were not affected by psionic energy in their spiritual world.
“…I can only say that the megacorp is rather lazy. They must have thought that the Hunter had already cleaned up the galaxy, so they never conducted a detailed search. That’s why they didn’t discover the gift that the Sentry left them.”
“But no matter what, their wish has been fulfilled… Let’s see if there’s any other information worth paying attention to.”
The Voyager scientists still remembered their mission. They didn’t disturb the megastructure of the lighthouse. Instead, they checked the rest of the data in the supercomputer.
the Sentry definitely wanted to pa.s.s down some of the galaxy’s secrets. It didn’t matter even if the megacorp knew about it. After all, as long as someone discovered it, they would see the light of day again.
As expected, the computer recorded everything related to the Sentry.
[Secret Doc.u.ment 1: Enlightened Ones]
Upon seeing this name, the Voyager scientists couldn’t help but reveal a hint of antic.i.p.ation. They also called humans Enlightened Ones. Although the words were different from the Sentry Organization, the meaning was similar.
However, after reading the records, they understood that the Enlightened Ones here were not humans, but another civilization that did things similar to humans.
[This is an ancient lost empire. They are older than all the other civilizations in this galaxy.]
[The hypers.p.a.ce channel that connects all the galaxies was built by them. The tinder of civilization was scattered by them, and the interstellar society came from there.]
[According to our shallow understanding, the Enlightened Ones seemed to have been trying to protect a s.p.a.ce lifeform that had landed here a long time ago, but they didn’t seem to have found a good solution.]
[In the past countless years, other civilizations have rarely communicated with the Enlightened Ones and learned that the Enlightened Ones have always been searching for a way to break through their limits.]
[This is a very mysterious saying. In our opinion, the Enlightened Ones have undoubtedly reached the peak. Will there be a new level after them?]
[After integrating the information of other civilizations as much as possible, we confirmed that the Enlightened Ones are conducting some kind of technology cycle. They want to use this to reach a new height.]
[But it’s all over now, because they were also defeated by the Hunter Civilization.]
Although they were all coincidentally called Enlightened Ones, the Enlightened Ones here seemed to be the native civilization of this galaxy. Because they were born early enough, they became the lost empire.
What made the Voyager even more certain was the second confidential doc.u.ment.
[Secret Doc.u.ment 2: Outsider]
[This is an ancient secret. Even most civilizations in the galaxy don’t know about this. Only the Enlightened Ones and a few s.p.a.ce cities seem to have encountered this mysterious outsider.]
[A long time ago, a foreign civilization came to this galaxy.]
[Unlike the evil Hunters, this is a civilization full of goodwill.]
[They seemed to have come here to sow civilization. After discovering that we were already very prosperous, they had a short exchange with the Enlightened Ones.]
[The exact situation is unknown, but according to those s.p.a.ce city-states, it seems that the s.p.a.ce lifeforms that wandered here have been cured, and the Enlightened Ones might have a new understanding of the technology cycle.] [No matter what, the arrival of this outsider is a good thing.]
Through the records of this confidential doc.u.ment, the Voyager felt that this outsider was human.
Moreover, there was something else that they were quite concerned about. It was the mysterious s.p.a.ce lifeforms that were stranded here.
As the Administrator had once told them about dimensional erosion and Ether Dragons, after seeing these wandering s.p.a.ce lifeforms that were suddenly cured after humans arrived, they wondered if they were also Ether Dragons or lifeforms from the previous era that would be affected by dimensional erosion.
After seeing the third confidential doc.u.ment, the Voyagers present all narrowed their eyes at the same time, because they had seen information that might be related to the Al Planet.
[Secret Doc.u.ment 3: The Hunter]
[This is a demon that deserves to be despised for 10,000 years. We really don’t want to record this civilization, but for the sake of the tinder that might revive in the future, we have no choice but to leave these records.]
[This is a terrifying civilization. From what we know, they have used the Void Beasts to destroy countless galaxies. The Presolin that came to us were also driven here by them.]
[We can’t find any means of resistance at the moment. We can only provide them with the signs before they appear.]
[Please pay close attention to the situation of the surrounding galaxy! If the stars of any galaxy are all extinguished overnight, then they are coming…] [They seem to have come in pursuit of Presolin. If Presolin attacks again in the future, what you need to guard against is not this insect plague, but the Hunter after it.]
[In addition, when we had retreated to a few bases, a portion of the refugees who escaped death noticed something.]
[The Hunter seems to have taken a certain planet away.]
[According to the description, it’s a planet filled with mechanical style. There are also buildings suspected to be surveillance equipment on it. Could it be that we’ve always been monitored?]
[At the moment, we still don’t know what this planet is, and why the Hunter took this planet away. This is something worth paying attention to.]
As soon as they saw the description of the planet taken away by the Hunter, the Voyager’s science realized that this was most likely the Observation Terminal of this galaxy. However, they didn’t expect this thing to be taken away by the Hunter.
“This is troublesome. We can only rely on brute force to find the Purification Terminal…”
They were a little disappointed, but they used this opportunity to a.n.a.lyze something.
“…I remember that the megacorp seems to think that the Hunter is trapped somewhere? Can 1 link this matter to the scribe? After all, the Hunter has touched the Observation Terminal that they don’t want to be disturbed the most…”
“…That’s possible. Let’s report this matter first…”
The Voyager scientist linked this matter to the scribe and suspected that the Hunter civilization’s current disappearance was related to the fact that they had violently taken the Observation Terminal away.
While they were transmitting this matter through the consciousness network, the a.s.similation Fighters, who were reorganizing the megacorp, also had some trouble.
The Void Egg, which was originally very stable under the effects of the inhibitor, began to show an abnormality. From the a.n.a.lysis, it seemed that the Void Fruit was about to enter the birth state from the incubation threshold state.
Seeing that he could no longer suppress the incubation of the Void Egg, the a.s.similation Fighters began to urgently transfer their companions to the Planet Egg and informed Li Wenyuan of this matter.
They thought that it was because the Void Egg had been summoned by the Hunter, but that was not the case. The reason was that the psionic waves of the Soul Lighthouse had caused all of this.
The Void Egg seemed to have a reaction to psionic energy. This was also the source of the megacorp’s technology to control the Void Evil. The psionic waves this time stimulated the hatching of the Void Egg.
At this moment, in some secret places in the galaxy, some Planet Eggs seemed to have sensed something and accelerated their birth process.
This was a creature from the same race as the insect plague that had once wreaked havoc in this galaxy. However, this time, it was no longer an insect plague, but the Galaxy Guardian here..
