"Fifty thousand years ago..."
The black tower murmured.
Walter has told Black Tower and the others everything he knows in great detail.
However, the Black Tower showed little interest in most things on Earth. The only thing it was interested in was the pre-Civilization of Earth 5 years ago, which was indeed very likely related to the Galactic Monarch.
"There are still too few clues." Ruan Mei was happy to have found clues about the Galactic Monarch, but she was also disappointed that there were too few of them.
Although pre-Earth civilizations also possessed Divine Keys, their functions and scope were vastly different from those of the Galactic Monarchs; the gap was simply too great.
As for the Honkai and Herrscher that Welt mentioned, they're not that great. Black Tower thinks they might be Star Cores? But Star Cores don't seem that weak, do they?
The Black Tower found the Herrschers' powers somewhat interesting, but after hearing Welt's description of how the Herrschers wielded their powers, the Black Tower lost all interest, deeming them nothing but a bunch of fools.
This includes Walter, that man.
However, Black Tower, Nguyen Mai, and Screw Gum didn't say much.
“This is a replica of the 9th Divine Key, Star of Eden,” Walter said, taking the replica of Star of Eden from his staff and handing it to the Black Tower.
Black Tower controlled the Black Tower puppet to quickly analyze the Star of Eden. Screw Gum also lent a hand.
In Black Tower's view, Earth's 9th Divine Key and the 9th Divine Key of the Galactic Monarch, which she knew well, were two completely unrelated things except for both being called Divine Keys.
The Black Tower's archives contain a video recording of the first Cosmic Song Festival, 50,000 years ago, featuring all the stars in the entire universe! That is the true power of the 9th Divine Key of the Galactic Monarch! But because of this, all records of the first Cosmic Song Festival in the universe are extremely precious and important. Nowadays, there are only a few fragments in the interstellar network, and the specific videos are carefully kept by various forces or powerful individuals.
Ruan Mei no longer intended to waste any more time here. The Galactic Monarch was ultimately too mysterious and unpredictable. She would go and take a look after finding Earth's coordinates, but Ruan Mei didn't hold out much hope.
At this moment, Black Tower was still analyzing Eden's Star, but Screw Gum suddenly stopped.
"Question, Ms. Black Tower, Ms. Ruan Mei, if I may ask, do you have a replica of the Divine Key left behind by the Galactic Monarch?" Screw Gum inquired.
“I want that kind of thing too,” Black Tower said, shrugging.
No one knows where the Galactic Lord's Divine Key is; perhaps it was taken away. However, it is certain that the Galactic Lord once created a replica of the Divine Key, which once sparked a massive war in the universe. But in the end, the replica of the Divine Key disappeared without a trace.
How could the Black Tower not be envious of the replica of the Galactic Monarch's Divine Key? Unfortunately, she wanted it, Ruan Mei wanted it, and of course, everyone else wanted it too, even Bo Shizun wanted it.
"Does the Galactic Monarch's Divine Key also have a replica?" Walter asked, somewhat surprised.
He noticed the curiosity, disdain, and disappointment that Black Tower and the others felt towards the Earth's Divine Key during his explanation, indicating that it was indeed quite different from the Galactic Monarch's Divine Key.
Black Tower simply nodded in response, then looked at Screw Gum.
"Answer: I have a replica of the Galactic Monarch's Divine Key."
Before Screw Gum could even finish speaking, and before Black Tower and Nguyen Mai could respond, a voice of doubt suddenly rang out.
"...That's impossible! How could you possibly have that?!"
Everyone looked at the person who had spoken, Dan Heng.
At this moment, Dan Heng frowned and looked at Luo Sigumu with a serious expression.
Black Tower and Nguyen May were not surprised by Dan Heng's reaction.
Walter was a little confused. What was wrong with Danheng?
Wait a minute, Walter suddenly realized something: Lady Black Tower had also let Danheng come in with her.
"Hello, sir of the Vidya Dragon Clan," Slugum greeted Danheng politely.
Walter suddenly realized that these three geniuses from the Genius Club all seemed to know Dan Heng.
"I'm sorry, I got emotional. I just wanted to know why you have a copy of the Divine Key?" Dan Heng apologized to Screw Gum after calming himself down, and then asked.
“Answer? That can be explained later,” Screwgoom said, then looked at Walter.
"Question, Mr. Walter, could you recreate the Star of Eden?"
Black Tower raised an eyebrow.
Without saying a word, Welt used the power of the Herrscher of Reason to recreate the Star of Eden.
Although he is no longer the Herrscher of Reason, thanks to his long-term understanding of the Herrscher of Reason's powers, and because his current body is constructed from the Herrscher of Reason's powers, he can still temporarily use some of the Herrscher of Reason's powers.
Screw Gum silently observed the powers Walter used.
As everyone looked at Screwgoom, Screwgoom projected a record onto the screen. It was a record of Screwgoom's research data and usage of the replica of the Galactic Monarch's Divine Key.
"In response, the powers that Mr. Walter used when he replicated the Star of Eden, as well as the powers of the replica of the Star of Eden, are the same as the powers of the replica of the Galactic Monarch's Divine Key."
In conclusion, the Earth's Divine Key and the Galactic Monarch's Divine Key are essentially the same.
The Black Tower office fell silent as everyone silently processed this event, something that could cause madness throughout the entire universe.
At that moment, Black Tower, Ruan Mei, and Screw Gum all suddenly felt the gaze of the God of Wisdom and then received a data.
"The data provided by the mechanical head..." Black Tower checked it over and then looked at Walter.
"Mr. Welt, your Herrscher of Reason power is the first Divine Key of the Galactic Lord, the Thousand-Year Star, which once imprisoned the Star God of Intelligence."
"..."
"The Galactic Monarch's 5th Divine Key was used to capture the Star God of Wisdom and the Star God of Gluttony."
"The 9th Divine Key of the Galactic Monarch, the Brilliant Star Map, once conveyed its song to every celestial body in the entire universe!"
Black Tower didn't know the names and functions of all the Divine Keys, but just the abilities of the Divine Keys it mentioned were enough to put Welt into a mental whirlwind.
Imprisoning and capturing star gods? Influencing every celestial body in the universe?
Is this... is this still the Key of God?
Dan Heng, who was standing to the side, knew more, but he felt that it was not a good thing to let others know too much. If the news got out, the three geniuses, Black Tower, Ruan Mei, and Screw Gum, would not be able to withstand the open and covert attacks from many forces throughout the universe.
This is especially bad news for Welt, as the Earth's Divine Key is essentially the same as the Galactic Monarch's Divine Key.
In a sense, if someone finds Earth and obtains the Earth God Key, they might be able to recreate the feat of the Galactic Monarch sweeping away the Star Gods and unifying the universe 5 years ago.
"Gentlemen, let's stop talking," Dan Heng said solemnly.
"That's the end of it. I will assist Mr. Walter in secretly searching for traces of Earth."
After noticing the gazes of Heita and the others, Dan Heng hesitated for a moment, but quickly spoke up.
You can help, but don't make a fuss about it.
A pair of blue dragon horns appeared on Danheng's forehead, and his tone became somewhat cold. This was permission, but also a warning.
The matter concerning the Lord of the Galaxy is of great importance, and allowing others to help is already the greatest act of kindness from Lord Yinyue.
“I know, I know,” Black Tower said with satisfaction, and Ruan Mei and Screw Gumu also nodded.
The opportunity to study the Galactic Monarch's Divine Key is certainly something that can't be shared with more people. Although it's essentially the same Earth Divine Key, it still allows us to glimpse more secrets about the Galactic Monarch.
When Walter and Danheng left the Black Tower's office, Walter was still in a daze, his mind still a mess.
Danheng then grabbed Walter, and in the blink of an eye, they arrived at a mysterious space filled with books.
Walter was numb; Danheng's background and secrets were clearly significant.
"Take a look," Danheng said, pulling a book from the nearby bookshelf and handing it to Walter.
Although Walter was puzzled, he took the book and began to read it. The pictures and videos recorded in the book were clearly transmitted into Walter's mind.
Then he understood why Danheng had said those things earlier, because the contents of this book were all records of the Galactic Monarch using the Key of God and his various ways of capturing Star Gods.
"A common man is innocent, but possessing a treasure is a crime." Even Walter, if he were foolish, understood the meaning of this saying.
The fact that Earth possesses a Divine Key that is essentially the same as the Galactic Lord's Divine Key, along with the issue of their names, all indicate that the relationship between Earth and the Galactic Lord is extremely important.
Walter had already recalled Otto's methods back on Earth, but the creatures in space would be even more ruthless than Otto.
"What on earth is this?" Walter was extremely troubled. Earth was too weak. He used to think that Kiana, the goddess of Earth, was very strong, but after coming to the universe, he truly understood what the power of a god was like.
The Galactic Monarch, who is even more powerful than the Star God, goes without saying.
After calming himself down, Walter looked at Danheng.
"Danheng, who exactly are you?"
Walter wanted to know Danheng's identity.
"There are four fallen civilizations in the universe; they are the four auxiliary armies of the Galactic Monarch from fifty thousand years ago."
Walter had also heard of those four fallen civilizations, but like the Galactic Monarch, they were shrouded in mystery. All he knew was that those four fallen civilizations were the pinnacle of power in the universe, and their every word and action could influence the entire cosmos.
"I come from one of the four fallen civilizations, the Vidyadhara Dragon Clan," Danheng said without concealing anything, but he didn't tell the whole story either.
He is indeed a member of the Vidyadhara Dragon Clan, but he is also the Moon Drinker, one of the five Dragon Lords of the Vidyadhara Dragon Clan, and the leader of another fallen civilization, the Order Alliance.
As for why Danheng was an anonymous passenger on the Star Train, it was simply because he had nothing to do with it. The Dragon Clan and the Order Alliance didn't have any major matters to attend to. Moreover, every Lord of the Moon Travels throughout the universe, and Danheng, who had only been in office for a few years, was no exception. He had even worked for the Interstellar Peace Corporation.
But Danheng clearly never expected that he would one day receive such important information about the Galactic Monarch.
At this point, Walter, who was already numb, didn't react much. He nodded to indicate that he understood. Seeing this, Danheng didn't say anything more and quickly led Walter away from this space and back to the Black Tower Space Station.
The search for Earth was not urgent, and Walter didn't even know the coordinates. In the vast universe, it was like finding a needle in a haystack.
Dan Heng has secretly sent the message back. When news from Earth will arrive depends on luck.
A few days later, Walter and Danheng returned to the Star Train and began their exploration journey again.
Side Story: Fifty Thousand Years Later (4)
Luofu Fairy Boat, Xingcha Port
The fox-girl happily jumped off the star raft, her long, light purple hair swaying gently. Her bright blue eyes looked around with a mix of liveliness and nostalgia, taking in the scenery of the Star Raft Sea.
Time has passed, and things have changed.
"It's been so long," the fox-girl thought she would shout, "I'm back!" but in the end she just sighed softly.
"It hasn't been that long, has it?"
A question came from behind the fox-girl. Another pink-haired girl with a cold and aloof demeanor walked to the fox-girl's side and carefully looked at the scenery of the Star Chariot Sea.
How is it here?
"Very rustic"
"That's what the pink-haired girl commented."
"Really?" The fox-girl was somewhat taken aback. She looked around again. "It's not tacky at all, okay?"
Although the fox-girl knew that her friend came from a good family.
"Let's go find a place to stay first, then we can visit your friends."
"Hey, why don't we look around here first? I remember there are a lot of interesting places around here. Let's explore and then go get some food. There are plenty of delicious options."
"...This isn't like you."
Hearing the fox-girl's evasive words, the pink-haired girl raised an eyebrow.
"Ma"
The fox-girl was somewhat embarrassed.
"Because of some things that happened in the past," the fox-girl whispered, then whispered in the pink-haired girl's ear, "I'm practically a dead person here."
The pink-haired girl was quite surprised and asked in a low voice, somewhat unexpectedly.
"Bai Heng, what are you doing here?"
"Did you wake up that piece of wood in Luofu? Or did you almost blow up Luofu?"
"No, no, no, how could that be? That's impossible, Tianyu, don't talk nonsense," Bai Heng waved his hands repeatedly, feeling quite embarrassed by his friend's imagination.
"This isn't the place to chat, let's go somewhere else."
A moment later, Bai Heng and her friend Tian Yu sat down together at Shangziwei Restaurant in Jinren Lane.
"Sigh," Bai Heng sighed with some melancholy.
"Tell me what happened, let me have a laugh."
Tianyu looked at Baiheng with great interest, only to receive a glare from him.
"Actually, it's nothing. I came to Xianzhou for fun a few hundred years ago, and somehow I gained some fame. Later, my fame grew, and it wasn't appropriate to just leave like that."
"It just so happens that the Immortal Ship is fighting with some scoundrels from the Abundant Lands, so I'll take this opportunity to perish together with the leader of those scoundrels. Hmm, no, that leader seems to be a Commander, but he should only be half-dead."
Bai Heng sighed as she recalled what happened back then. She had died in the eyes of many people in the same way. Later, it was not easy for Bai Heng to go back. The bomb she used to pretend to die together with others was very powerful. It shattered the planet that served as the battlefield. What was the point of her being resurrected?
If Bai Heng were to reveal that he is a fox-person from the Abundant Empire, that would be fine, but that would ruin the fun.
