We didn't find any civilized planet, but we did find an abandoned military base.
By repairing the base station, Fuyao successfully connected to the public network and obtained massive amounts of information.
The Empire is not located in the center of the Primordial Land, but rather to the right of the route. The center is occupied by creatures called Primordials. Where would you like to begin your investigation?
Chen An was too lazy to take a closer look himself, so he asked Fuyao to introduce the empire first.
The Empire controls three hundred star regions. It may not seem very large, but it has many experts. There are over twenty known Genesis-level experts, and at least four Star-Grading experts.
[The main tribe of the empire is called the Bo tribe, a spindle-shaped carbon-based creature]
The image of the Bo people was displayed on the screen. The main body looked very strange, but the colors around the body were so rich that Chen An could distinguish thousands of them.
There's also a species called the Law Clan, a variant of the Wave Clan, differing in the structure and function of their two sides. The Wave Clan excels at harnessing energy, while the Law Clan excels at traveling through space. While the Wave Clan is nominally the dominant race, the Law Clan holds a significant position. Besides these, there are other races of various kinds, present in very small numbers and not worth mentioning.
Chen An looked carefully for a while and learned that the emperor of the empire was named Randolph, a pure Bo leader.
"What is the Empire's external attitude?"
[It is relatively harmonious with the outside world and rarely initiates wars. Therefore, the surrounding civilizations have good relations with the empire. They have a common enemy, the original demons.]
Chen An flipped through the pictures on the screen, showing the image characteristics of other civilizations, of various types, including humanoid creatures.
"They can only coexist harmoniously when they share a common enemy. What is the original demon?"
According to Imperial records, the Primordial Demons are a collective term for a class of evil creatures. They occupy the core of the Primordial Land and frequently invade. They kill, plunder, and commit all sorts of acts. Therefore, the Empire launched a call for a counter-invasion war early on, and all surrounding civilizations responded. In reality, they were after the star core promised by Emperor Randolph.
As more information was displayed, Chen An's eyes gradually lit up.
"It seems the Empire has indeed accumulated a large number of star cores, and they're actually brave enough to offer them as rewards. Can we also participate as an extraterritorial civilization?"
To move forward, you must pass through the empire.
In this case, let's stop for a while and get the resources we need.
Star cores are secondary; civilization is the greatest resource.
[The Empire welcomes all foreign civilizations and will not reject us. Do you want to apply now?]
"Don't worry, tell Iron Sickle and Blade about this and see what they say."
The two of them definitely had no objection and agreed immediately after learning about the situation.
So, Fuyao connected to the imperial military network and made a remote declaration.
After waiting for about two days, a fleet came from afar and stopped near the train.
This is a reception fleet whose mission is to guide extraterritorial civilizations to join the imperial war system to avoid conflicts.
【We received a communication request】
"Connected."
The scene unfolded shortly afterwards, and half of the body of a member of the Lu clan emerged from it.
The light circles around their bodies change into complex colors, that is them talking.
Fuyao receives electromagnetic waves and translates in real time.
"The Ram tribe has joined the war. Which star system are you from?"
Ram tribe?
Chen An was wondering when Fuyao displayed the information of the civilization on the other side of the screen.
The Ram people are the indigenous civilization of the original land. They look like humans, but they look more three-dimensional overall. The long tail behind them is the biggest distinguishing feature from humans.
Chen An replied: "We are not from the Ram tribe, but from the more distant Fuyao civilization. We are applying to join the war and fight against the original demons together."
Inside the main ship of the receiving fleet, Commander Asif seemed to be communicating steadily, but in fact he was secretly giving more orders, asking his men to quickly collect target information.
Such a huge and strange warship is definitely not inferior to any civilization in the original land.
The reason why he used the Ram tribe to test it was just to buy time.
After receiving the other party's answer, Asif responded with something like "I see," and continued to ask: "Why did you participate in the war?"
Chen An did not hide it and said directly that he also wanted the star core.
This made Asif less wary.
Because as the war began, extraterritorial civilizations often applied to join, and without exception they were attracted by the star core.
After asking for a while, Asif said, "I will report your situation. Please wait."
After the communication was disconnected, Asif asked his men, "Did you find it?"
"There's no information. It could be a starry sky even farther away than the outer realm. Analyzing their route and direction, it's highly likely they have nothing to do with the original demons."
"As long as it's not the original demon, report the information immediately."
This was followed by a five-day wait.
The ferry fleet was waiting nearby, so the train couldn't leave.
Chen An tried many times to invite Asif to the train as a guest, but the other party was very cautious and always refused.
At the end of the fifth day, the order finally came.
Asif said excitedly, "You are allowed to participate in the war, number 127."
Chen An asked him, "Does 127 refer to my train, or to all of them?"
"Of course, your entire fleet. I will transmit the information to you, please keep it."
The information entered the train shortly afterwards and was divided into two parts.
One part is a small number of war star maps, which detail where they should go to resist the original demons. Once they accept it, they cannot leave the defense circle without permission.
The second part is the information about the original demons, including what types there are, what they look like, and how to deal with them.
[Do you accept? We can still refuse now]
Chen An looked at the star map for a while and did not change his mind.
"My intuition tells me that there must be something at the core of the Primordial Land. The Empire's original intention was to defend, but I want to lead them to a counterattack. Send all the information to Iron Scythe and Blade, and then inform Asif of our decision."
After getting the reply, Asif was satisfied and continued to lead the train to its destination.
It is good to have a fleet to guide us, so as to avoid conflicts with other armies.
There was only one problem. The shuttle speed of the receiving fleet was too slow, almost like a snail's pace compared to a train, so the fleet had to slow down appropriately.
During the process, Chen An fully understood the known information about the original demon.
[There are twelve demon kings in the original demon world. They are supreme beings. According to preliminary analysis, they are all star-level.]
[The strongest under the Demon King are the original beasts. They are extremely large and often disappear without a trace. Whenever they appear, they will cause a huge wave of death. Therefore, very little information remains.]
[Generally speaking, the original devil refers to the various war races. There are many different types, but there are only three main war races. They are the Sequence 01 Deep Dive, Sequence 02 Scythe, and Sequence 03 Wave. Sequence is a term used within the original devil. Other war races also have it, but it is very mixed and therefore not taken seriously.]
Chen An looked at the corresponding picture and felt that it looked very much like a man-made creation.
"We need physical analysis, and then we'll know."
