After the collapse of the Solvaris Star System, only a fraction of its human population managed to escape, forced into exile across the universe before eventually settling in foreign lands.
Now, a thousand years had passed.
The descendants of those who had fled had long beco part of other star systems.
Apart from the knowledge passed down through generations, many of the Solvaris Star System’s survivors were no longer purebloods and had even forgotten their ancestral holand.
However, while the Solvaris Star System had fallen, it had not been entirely destroyed.
Its civilization still existed, which had attracted the greed of certain outlaws.
So were willing to risk their lives to venture into the Solvaris Star System, seeking higher forms of civilization and attempting to extract them.
Naturally, the star systems closest to the Solvaris Star System were also eager for the opportunity to acquire superior knowledge—Pleiades Star System was one of them.
In just a thousand years, the Pleiades Star System had surpassed other star systems in technological advancent, and this was partly due to its connection with the Solvaris Star System.
As for the "opportunity" ntioned by the Grand Elder of the Pleiadian Ascendancy, it was located near the massive black hole within the fallen Solvaris Star System.
Explorers and fugitives who ventured into the Solvaris Star System had discovered strange things there.
Everything that had enabled them to cultivate and attain immortality had originated from the Solvaris Star System.
"Today, while the Solvaris Star System is even more dangerous than before, the number of opportunities available has increased as its countdown to destruction nears its end."
"You were one of the first groups to explore the Solvaris Star System a thousand years ago, weren’t you?" Amalia asked knowingly.
The cultivation of immortality had only begun developing a thousand years ago, and this Grand Elder of the Pleiadian Ascendancy was nearly a millennium old, aning he must have been among the first to cultivate.
Furthermore, the Pleiades Star System had deployed military forces to the Solvaris Star System back then, and this Grand Elder had likely been one of them.
That would explain his close ties with the Crimson Moon Dynasty royal family.
In fact, he might even have been a mber of the royal family himself.
"There is no hiding it from Ms. Immortal. I was indeed one of the beneficiaries back then," the Grand Elder admitted without hesitation.
"But there is one thing I am very curious about—what does this have to do with the aliens? And I have heard that they have been continuously sending humans into the Solvaris Star System. For what purpose?" This question had long puzzled Amalia.
"The aliens are inherently ruthless. They believe only in what they themselves deem true. When they invaded the Androda Universe, it didn’t take them long to discover the existence of the Solvaris Star System. Despite its strangeness, the Solvaris Star System is rumored to contain sothing the aliens have been searching for all along. They send humans there in order to obtain that thing."
"What thing?"
"Speaking of this thing, we must first talk about why the aliens invaded the Androda Universe," said the Grand Elder.
Amalia and Kenny Lin adopted a posture of rapt attention.
"In their own universe, the aliens have already reached their peak. Their invasion of the Androda Universe is an attempt to change their fate. It is said that although their powerful thods make them formidable, they have an inherent flaw. If they cannot resolve this flaw, they will eventually face extinction."
"Then how do they know that the Androda Universe contains the ans to fix their flaw?"
"That, we do not know. The aliens never easily reveal their true objectives. Even this negotiation—truthfully, they were the ones who initiated it."
Amalia narrowed her eyes slightly. "They took the initiative to propose entering the Solvaris Star System?"
The Grand Elder nodded lightly. "The Crimson Moon Dynasty has been exploring the Solvaris Star System for nearly a thousand years and knows it like the back of their hand. No matter how advanced the aliens’ technology is, they have only been in the Androda Universe for two years, constantly engaged in warfare. When would they have had the ti to study the Solvaris Star System? And even if they wanted to, the Solvaris Star System is not sothing that can be easily studied..."
The Solvaris Star System was collapsing a little more each day.
It was filled with various radiation sources, and signals within it were exceedingly weak.
No level of technological advancent could solve these issues.
However, after nearly a thousand years of research, the Crimson Moon Dynasty had already discovered a safe route.
This route was the only way into the Solvaris Star System.
To prevent the aliens from forcing their way in, the Crimson Moon Dynasty had stationed heavy guards to protect the entry point.
The aliens had no choice but to hover on the outskirts, watching greedily from a distance.
This negotiation was, in reality, about securing entry slots into the Solvaris Star System.
The aliens wanted to use this negotiation to obtain a few entry slots from the Crimson Moon Dynasty.
"They no longer have the qualifications to negotiate," Amalia said.
"That’s true, thanks to the two Immortals. However, we still need to grant them a few slots," the Grand Elder said, anticipating their confusion as to why they should still allow the aliens access.
"Are you afraid that if they don’t get any slots, they will continue slaughtering humans? Or are you using this opportunity to lure their strongest fighters into the Solvaris Star System so you can eliminate them?" Amalia imdiately saw through their strategy.
A flicker of surprise flashed across the Grand Elder’s face. "Ms. Immortal is indeed perceptive—you have guessed correctly. That is precisely our plan."
The aliens would never retreat without first finding what they were looking for.
However, if the war dragged on like this, who knew how many years or decades it would continue?
