Chapter 150: Chapter 101 The True Reason Behind the Fall of Dawn City! Not a Natural Disaster! It is Man-Made! Child of the Stars!
"Artificial? How is that possible."
Su Yu found it difficult to believe, and he didn’t trust the explanation given by the Administrator.
Azure Second Empire, Steel Dynasty, Ghost Empire.
It should be noted that among the various ruling powers in the history of the Ruins Star, the technologies of these three major ruling powers each had their strengths.
These ruling powers nearly dominated the entire territory of the Ruins Star.
Yet the Administrator claimed that these powers were all artificially destroyed.
Then, Su Yu continued reading.
"This theory was not widely accepted in Dawn City at the time. Even I considered it completely groundless. However, there was still a small group of scholars who believed this theory to be correct, and they even provided evidence."
"The Azure Second Empire was the first ruling power in the history of the Ruins Star. During the Subspace upheaval, when the planet still bore the name Azure, the people on the planet and the empire suddenly lost contact, leading to turmoil and rebellion on Azure Star. At this moment, the upper echelons of Azure Star stood up and established the Azure Second Empire with their resources."
"In name, they still maintained loyalty to the Human Empire and possessed a large amount of the technology creations of the former Human Empire. Logically, such a ruling power should have, if not conquered half of the Star Sea, at least been able to leave Azure and seek traces of the Human Empire without much difficulty."
"Yet, unexpectedly, this power could not leave Azure Star. Scholars in Dawn City also studied this history. They inferred from existing data that, at the beginning of the establishment of the Azure Second Empire, the upper echelons of the empire ordered a strict prohibition on the populace leaving Azure Star unauthorized."
Seeing this, Su Yu was filled with doubt. Ordered to stop them? Even with such an order, there should still have been people trying to escape Azure Star, right?
Su Yu kept reading, and the subsequent content of the Administrator’s letter startled him.
"At that time, there were indeed those on Azure Star who attempted to pilot ships to escape. However, they were all shot down by the Azure Second Empire, and all attempts to flee were suppressed with bloody means."
"The scholars in Dawn City could not comprehend this behavior and continued to research history. They found that the bloody repression could only be maintained temporarily. Even among the then Azure leadership, there were individuals who wished to flee Azure Star."
"However, Zhang Chenfeng, the ruler of the Azure Second Empire at the time, and the strongest on Azure Star, persisted in his bloody suppression of everything."
"Internal strife erupted as a result, and amid the war and the passage of time, a significant amount of historical data was lost. The scholars in Dawn City could not ascertain the causes or course of the war."
"But they learned of the war’s result. The former Azure Second Empire perished, and its territory became a forbidden zone for humanity, and for nearly ten thousand years, no one could enter it. This forbidden zone was later classified as one of the three major forbidden zones of Ruins Star—what is now the Steel Jungle."
Steel Jungle?
Seeing this, Su Yu was somewhat stunned.
The Sanctuary was located on the edge of the Steel Jungle, and only in such dangerous and barren areas was there space for small settlements to exist.
"The Steel Jungle turned out to be, nearly ten thousand years ago, the territory of the Azure Second Empire, and now it has become a forbidden zone on the Ruins Star."
"The behavior of the Azure Second Empire, no matter how you look at it, seemed bizarre, as if their rulers did not want anyone to leave the planet."
As Su Yu read these words in the letter, he felt a strangely familiar sensation, as if he had seen it somewhere before.
"Suppose that the Azure Second Empire at the time, and its ruler Zhang Chenfeng, were still absolutely loyal to the Human Empire. In that case, his actions would be understandable..."
"He was preventing all humans on Azure Star from fleeing and severing Azure Star’s communication with the Star Sea."
"This behavior resembled..."
"It resembled a quarantine!"
Quarantine!
Under what circumstances would people need to be quarantined?
"If this were truly the case, then everything would make sense. The Azure Second Empire, holding loyalty to the Human Empire, acted to prevent a ’virus’ inherent in the people of Azure Star from spreading outwards, thus preventing all attempts to leave the star."
"Only this could explain why no one could escape the Star Sea from Azure Star."
Su Yu believed his speculation to be close to the truth, or at least not far from it.
Su Yu continued reading.
The letter read:
"And the people of Dawn City also attempted to explore the Steel Jungle, but found that no matter how many people were sent, once they entered, they never returned. Furthermore, the Steel Dynasty in history had also explored the Steel Jungle, an event that marked the beginning of the dynasty’s demise."
"After the fall of the Azure Second Empire, over two thousand years saw the emergence of several ruling powers, all of which quickly vanished until two thousand years later, a group claiming to be descendants of the Azure Second Empire appeared. Upon their appearance, they exhibited extraordinary strength and highly advanced technologies."
"Within a mere century, they re-unified the Ruins Star, establishing the Steel Dynasty and proclaiming to be descendants of the Empire. They maintained nominal loyalty to the Human Empire, but this loyalty was evidently symbolic to anyone observing."
