The Last Commander of the Red Alert-Chapter 734: The Rise and Fall of the Qiluo Civilization!

The Qiluo Civilization, too, began as a nascent and weak entity, comparable in strength to pre-Apocalyptic Earth, perhaps just slightly more advanced in certain technologies.

Under such circumstances, the Qiluo Civilization aimed to develop into a mighty interstellar society, an endeavor for which the requisite time was incalculable.

Then, one day, they made an astounding discovery: their Mother Star had birthed a consciousness!

This consciousness, however, was fragile and unable to communicate directly with them. It could only interact with some of the civilization's Powerhouses through unique methods.

Faced with the consciousness of the Mother Star, the Qiluo Civilization split into two factions. One advocated for the protection and nurturing of the Mother Star's consciousness, while the other proposed an adversarial strategy, driven by the belief that those not of their kind must surely have different intentions. They sought to eradicate the consciousness.

The dispute was vehement and nearly tore the civilization apart.

Ultimately, they held a referendum, in which every citizen was eligible to vote. The outcome would determine their stance towards the Mother Star's consciousness.

By a narrow margin, the Matricide Faction emerged victorious.

Even with the result decided, the Matricide Protection Faction refused to accept the death of the Mother Star's consciousness and prepared to resist at all costs. Such a path seemed destined to lead Earth into a devastating World War, with countless casualties as a certainty.

Unexpectedly, at this juncture, the Mother Star's consciousness manifested as a feminine figure before everyone's eyes.

Her visage was indistinct to all; what they felt, instead, was a warm current, reminiscent of being held by one's mother in childhood.

The existence of the Mother Star's consciousness was fleeting, dissipating in less than three minutes.

After that moment, the Qiluo Civilization found that the Mother Star's consciousness had vanished!

Some speculated that the consciousness had respected their choice and ended itself.

This outcome deeply grieved the Matricide Protection Faction. Choosing to leave the Mother Star, they searched for a new planet to inhabit, while Earth fell under the control of the Matricide Faction.

The Matricide Faction ruled with an iron fist, seemingly unlocking the latent potential of the Qiluo Civilization itself. Their technological prowess advanced by leaps and bounds. They then stumbled upon a special Cosmic Behemoth—the caterpillar later discovered by Les.

At that time, the caterpillar lay dormant, impervious to the civilization's myriad attempts at harm. Every attack would dissipate into nothingness around it.

Upon research, they found that the caterpillar's body was infused with various spatial powers, visible to the naked eye, to everyone's amazement.

A multitude of scientists studied the caterpillar, and the Qiluo Civilization's spatial technology improved exponentially. Nobody could have imagined that such a humble caterpillar would become the cornerstone of the Qiluo Civilization's prowess in spatial technology.

"Wait, what did you say? The Qiluo Civilization's spatial technology was derived from studying this caterpillar?" Su Chen's eyes widened in disbelief.

He realized he knew little about the Qiluo Civilization. Was this truly the same civilization he had once known?

When he first learned of the Qiluo Civilization, he was impressed by their rapid rise to almost joining the high echelons of human civilizations—no small feat.

Especially their renowned spatial technology, coveted by countless civilizations and empires, it was inconceivable to him that it originated from such an inconspicuous creature. Su Chen struggled to accept this revelation.

No matter how one looked at it, the caterpillar did not seem that impressive.

"You must have seen it by now. Who would have thought that after all these years, it would still be slumbering? It's hard to fathom what sort of Cosmic Behemoth it really is," the middle-aged man said with a wry smile playing on his lips.

"You don't know the details about it either?" Su Chen was now truly astonished.

He had devoted a lifetime to studying it and yet hadn't managed to grasp its essence — that was inconceivable.

"The truth is as such; we indeed developed various spatial technologies based on it, but as for its origin, we are entirely in the dark. However..." The middle-aged man paused thoughtfully before continuing, "I once heard a piece of information that it seems to be related to a certain Universe race, a unique mutation of this race that became a Cosmic Behemoth. This race is a Parasitic Species, and this kind of parasitism isn't harmful; on the contrary, it's quite beneficial. It's just a pity that until the destruction of the Qiluo Civilization, I never found this race."

Su Chen's eyes flickered with recognition. This sounded remarkably similar to the Parasitic Species under his command.

Could such coincidences truly exist in the world?

Of course, he didn't voice these thoughts out loud. Who knew if this middle-aged man was fishing for information?

Su Chen's mind then drifted back to an earlier part of the story — Earth had once given birth to its own consciousness, only to be driven to suicide by the then-dominant Qiluo Civilization. That was utterly bewildering!

If this were among humans, it would definitely be considered matricide!

Humans grew on Earth and were children of Mother Earth. Yet, these children had driven their own mother to suicide. Was there any offspring more malevolent than them in the world?

At that moment, Su Chen suddenly asked, "Are you part of the Matricide Protection Faction or the Matricide Faction?"

"I belong to the Matricide Faction. I was the one advocating for that decision," the middle-aged man replied calmly.

Su Chen's expression remained unchanged, though he had already speculated as much. When a sliver of the middle-aged man's consciousness had attempted to take over his body, Su Chen knew this person was no good — an utterly sly character.

Now, his willingness to talk here was merely to learn more about the Qiluo Civilization.

"Any more questions?" the middle-aged man asked.

Su Chen shook his head, and the man continued his story.

With the advancement of spatial technology, what once greatly restricted the Qiluo Civilization — universal travel — suddenly became the simplest of tasks.

Their Warships, capable of traversing great distances through artificially created Space Channels and Wormholes, ensured that escape was not an issue, even if defeat in battle was.

Back then, the Milky Way did not bear its name, nor did the Milky Way even exist.

"Before the Milky Way, then how did it come into being?" Su Chen inquired directly.

He had always assumed the Milky Way had long existed, but according to this middle-aged man, it apparently did not, which was strange.

"I don't know what the Milky Way is, but if it's as you describe, a river that spans a Large Galaxy, I can't imagine it. Even at the pinnacle of the Qiluo Civilization's power, that would not have been possible."

The middle-aged man was an authority of the Qiluo Civilization, and if he was so certain, then the Milky Way must be a particularly peculiar entity.

The Qiluo Civilization, armed with powerful spatial technology, began expanding rapidly, even faster than today's Red Alert Empire — no, indeed much faster.

After all, during that era, the human Planets in the surrounding regions were relatively weak and were easily conquered. (To be continued)
