After Fang Zheng took away the reassembler, perhaps the missionary knew that it was impossible to do anything, so he decisively withdrew his troops. Soon, Fang Zheng saw the Forerunner warship open the jump space, and then ran away with the remaining Star Alliance fleet.

"All sea mists, listen up. Warp to Requiem immediately and prepare for the next move. Iona, send a stealth ship to follow the Didact. Don't lose its position."

"Understood. I will send Leander to investigate."

"very good."

Hearing Iona's answer, Fang Zheng nodded with satisfaction and waved his hand.

"Everyone get ready to go, target... Requiem!!"

Soon, the Sea Fog Fleet quickly turned into beams of light and disappeared into the depths of the universe, leaving only a group of stunned researchers in the research station.

There was also a banner and five hundred dollars.

Fang Zheng had learned from the jump coordinates that the missionary had not returned to Anquiem, so he naturally took the planet for himself. Anyway, the original owners of the planet, the forerunners, were all dead, and since it was an ownerless land, whoever saw it would own it, right?

I came, I saw, I conquered.

After "returning" to Requiem, Fang Zheng immediately began the next task. He first found several research ships such as Neptune and some warships to study the entire Forerunner technology with Iona on Requiem. On the other hand, Fang Zheng also sent another part of the Sea Mist warships to other Shield Worlds to "dig graves and rob tombs". Since there are communication channels between the Shield Worlds, Nymph quickly locked the locations of those Shield Worlds, so Fang Zheng asked these Sea Mist warships to form teams of three or two to explore other Shield Worlds separately.

If there are human or Covenant activities on those shield worlds, just ignore it. If not... hehehe... you know.

The Sea Mist warships were also quite excited about this. After all, when Fang Zheng "recruited" them, he promised to let them go to the Starry Sea for adventure. Now, they finally came to the Starry Sea, so they were naturally very excited. Except for a few warships such as the Unicorn that stayed on Anquiem Star to garrison, after Fang Zheng assigned the tasks, the other Sea Mist warships could not wait to flee.

It was not until this time that Fang Zheng finally had time to start thinking about some issues that he had not thought about before.

"So... Nymph, you mean the shield world is where the forerunners take refuge?"

"Yes, Master."

Sitting in front of the console, Nymph nodded while quickly collecting and packing the forerunners' technological information.

"According to the records, the Forerunners came to deal with the Flood, but it was originally caused by the invasion of ancient humans..."

With Nymph's introduction, Fang Zheng finally understood the entire background and origins of this world.

And it all starts with the pioneers.

According to the historical records of the Forerunners, the Forerunners are the most powerful civilization in the Milky Way. They are responsible for spreading life and civilization in the Milky Way and completely eliminating the "failed ones". The Forerunners are also one of the civilizations created by the Forerunners, and they will be the next civilization to be wiped out by the Forerunners.

However, the Forerunners' technological level was only one level lower than that of the Pioneers, so they were naturally unwilling to sit and wait for death, so they launched a preemptive surprise attack on the Pioneers.

No one knows what happened during this period. The only thing we know is that the Forerunners won the war and drove the Pioneers out of the Milky Way. Well, after hearing this, Fang Zheng felt that the Pioneers were not as powerful as he had imagined. Of course, it was hard to say. After all, according to historical records, the Pioneers were better at creation. If they were composed of some powerful but scarce individuals, it would not be impossible for them to be killed by the Forerunners using human wave tactics.

This is the same reason why no matter how powerful the dragons in the main world are, they cannot become the rulers of the world.

However, after that, ancient human civilization began to develop. They possessed powerful wisdom and gained extremely powerful strength by studying the technology left by the pioneers. The ancient humans then launched an attack on the Forerunners. At first, the Forerunners thought that the ancient humans simply wanted to invade, so they launched a counterattack. The war between the ancient humans and the Forerunners lasted for thousands of years and ended with the complete defeat of the ancient humans.

The last of the ancient humans were thrown back to Earth after being genetically degenerated by the forerunners, and their creations were completely destroyed.

But afterwards, the forerunners discovered the real reason why the ancient humans invaded their territory - the Flood.

This parasitic race is full of extremely powerful and terrifying power. The ancient humans had to invade the Forerunners' territory just to fight them. At the same time, due to the parasitic nature of the flood, the ancient humans had to carry out all-round destruction of the planets they parasitized. This is another reason why the ancient humans attacked the Forerunners' planets... However, the Forerunners at that time did not believe the ancient humans at first. They believed that the so-called flood was just a primitive ecological infection and was not as alarmist as the ancient humans said. They believed that this was just an excuse for the ancient humans to invade and destroy the Forerunners.

But when the Flood army appeared in front of the Forerunners, it was too late.

History always repeats itself. The ancient humans suffered heavy losses in the war against the Flood and were ultimately unable to compete with the forerunners and were defeated.

Now, the Forerunners, who were severely injured in the war with the ancient humans, are also unable to resist the invasion of the Flood, so they have to start creating the "Halo" as the final means to deal with the Flood. When the "Halo" is activated, it will destroy and wipe out all creatures in the Milky Way, including the Flood.

In order to preserve the biological samples of the Milky Way, the chief think tank among the Forerunners began to build arks and shield worlds to avoid the extinction of life in the entire Milky Way.

In the end, the Forerunners were defeated in the war with the Flood and activated the "Halo", which wiped out all creatures in the Milky Way that were not protected by the Shield World and the Ring. Even the Forerunners themselves were completely wiped out in this disaster... And this is also the origin of the Shield World...

"Shield World..."

Fang Zheng raised his head and looked at the primitive world full of life in front of him. Various animals and plants could be seen everywhere. This was another new world, a Garden of Eden.

However, Founder is considering more than just these.

After learning all the ins and outs of the Forerunners from Nymph, Fang Zheng began to have great doubts about the main world. Especially the "cage" he saw with his own eyes, which made Fang Zheng start to think about a question.

Is the main world also a "shield world"?

Is its function the same as the "Shield World" created by the forerunners in this world, used to preserve other biological specimens?

If you think about it carefully, this possibility not only exists, but is also quite high. After all, from any perspective, the species in the main world are too rich, and many civilizations are not very different. For example, the gap between human, elves, dwarves, gnomes and other races is not so big, while the dragons, demons and other advanced races that were originally capable of ruling the main world have all chosen to retreat from the world.

Although the devil's army occasionally plots to invade the main world, it seems that they are not really that serious about it.

If it were on an ordinary planet, this situation would be difficult to understand, but if the main world is regarded as a refuge... the situation is completely different.

Moreover, unlike humans, dragons and demons have relatively long lifespans. They must know some ancient secrets about the main world. Is it because of this that they did not attack the main world?

What are they waiting for?
