Chapter 96: The Technological Side of the Alien Civilization Interference
Seeing Tang Na completely stunned, her mouth agape and motionless, Su Yu's unease grew even more.
He had always seen Tang Na in a calm and composed state, and this was the first time he witnessed her in such a dazed state.
"Tang Na, senior..."
Just as Su Yu began to speak, Tang Na immediately snapped back to her senses and cut him off. "Don't speak yet!"
Without another word, she quickly grabbed her communication terminal and dialed a number.
A few seconds later, a pale blue teleportation gate opened in front of Su Yu. Linke, dressed in a pale blue robe, hurriedly stepped out of the gate.
It was clear that Linke had been sleeping; he was not only wearing a robe but his hair was a mess, like a chicken's nest.
However, Su Yu could sense that Linke was extremely agitated, his magic leaking uncontrollably from his body.
After stepping out of the gate, Linke nodded slightly at Su Yu as a greeting, then turned to Tang Na and started speaking rapidly in a language that Su Yu couldn't understand.
Linke wasn't using the Han language of the Blue Planet; he was using the Saint Silver Common Tongue. Therefore, Su Yu couldn't comprehend a word.
Tang Na, with a serious expression, replied in a long string of Saint Silver Common Tongue.
The two then continued their conversation in the same language, clearly not wanting Su Yu to understand.
Listening to their constant exchange in the Saint Silver Common Tongue, Su Yu felt helpless.
He wished he had brought Chenxing the cat along. Chenxing had a passive skill that allowed her to understand the Saint Silver Common Tongue, and she could have translated for him, preventing him from feeling like a deaf person, completely clueless about their conversation.
However, Su Yu didn't know that if he had brought Chenxing, Tang Na and Linke would have switched to telepathic communication. Their sole purpose in using the Saint Silver Common Tongue was to keep Su Yu in the dark.
...
After a while of rapid discussion, Tang Na used her communication terminal to send several messages.
Although Su Yu didn't understand the Saint Silver Common Tongue, the recipients of the messages were clearly the same as the sender of the earlier messages.
Thus, Su Yu quickly deduced that unless Tang Na was lying, she must be sending messages to Saint Song.
After sending the messages, Tang Na and Linke began to wait anxiously, continuing their rapid conversation in the Saint Silver Common Tongue. From their tone and expressions, Su Yu could tell they were very worried.
"Something major must have happened. Should I ask them what it is?" Su Yu thought to himself.
But seeing how grim Tang Na and Linke looked, Su Yu decided not to speak. Tang Na had always been friendly to him, and if she wasn't telling him what was happening, there must be a reason. So he decided to wait.
...
Three minutes later, Tang Na's communication terminal started beeping continuously.
In just a few seconds, her terminal received over fifty messages! The virtual screen was flooded with a continuous stream of information.
The sender was clearly Saint Song.
Seeing this, Su Yu was immediately alarmed. Why would Saint Song send so many messages at once?
However, Tang Na and Linke were too focused to care. They immediately gathered around the virtual screen and began reading the messages intently.
As they read through each message, their expressions changed rapidly—surprised, angry, confused, and fearful. Their faces were a kaleidoscope of emotions.
But Su Yu couldn't understand the text and could only stand by, feeling helpless.
After reading through all the messages, the siblings were completely stunned.
Tang Na slumped onto the living room sofa, her eyes vacant, as if her soul had been sucked out.
She was wearing a sleep robe, the buttons of which were undone, revealing a large expanse of her upper body. From Su Yu's angle, he could see every detail of her upper half.
But Tang Na didn't seem to care, half-lying on the sofa like a fish on the beach.
Linke was also completely stunned, standing as stiff as a utility pole outside the house, motionless.
Su Yu had no idea what they had seen that caused such a strong reaction.
Standing beside them, Su Yu remained silent, and the living room fell into a dead silence.
...
After another two minutes, Linke was the first to regain his senses.
With a single wave of his hand, a pale blue teleportation gate appeared in front of him.
Without looking back, he stepped directly into the gate and disappeared from the living room.
Noticing that her brother had teleported away, Donna gradually came back to her senses.
However, she didn't look at the virtual screen projected by the terminal. Instead, she turned her head to stare out the window, lost in thought as she gazed at the capital's pristine white sky.
"Senior Donna, what exactly happened?" Su Yu asked gently. "Do you need any help?"
Donna didn't respond immediately, continuing to stare out the window in a daze.
After a dozen seconds, she turned to look at Su Yu.
She first adjusted her blouse, fastening the buttons that had come undone, and then asked slowly, "Did Bernina Tide mention the 'Five Major Rebel Organizations' to you in the Evolution Game?"
"Yes, she did," Su Yu answered honestly.
"Which five?" Donna stared at him.
Su Yu recalled and replied, "The Honor Rebellions, Freedom Wings, Dark Energy Rebellions, Spark Preservers, and Defiers."
Donna hesitated for a moment, then nodded slightly. "Since you already know about the Five Major Rebel Organizations, I can tell you about this.
However, Su Yu, you can inform the Blue Star high command, but you mustn't spread this information widely, understand?"
"Rest assured, I will keep it strictly confidential," Su Yu promised.
"Good," Donna relaxed a bit and continued, "Here’s what happened:
Over the past month, Hymn has received a massive amount of information about the Five Major Rebel Organizations.
Usually, Hymn receives only a few thousand pieces of information about these organizations each month, and the data is quite stable.
However, in just the past month, Hymn has received several million useful pieces of information—over a hundred times more than usual!
Based on this information, Hymn has determined that all five rebel groups are making big moves!"
"Big moves?!" Su Yu's heart tightened.
Sure enough, something big was happening!
If all five rebel groups were making major moves, they were definitely planning to challenge Hymn.
A conflict between such galactic-level powers would be a disaster for any weaker civilizations caught in the crossfire.
And "luckily," it seemed Blue Star was one of those civilizations!
Donna glanced at the information on the virtual screen and continued, "According to the latest information from Hymn, the most aggressive organizations—the Honor Rebellions, Freedom Wings, and Dark Energy Rebellions—are planning to attack weaker civilizations.
The Spark Preservers have sent out a large number of missionaries to spread their beliefs among the peripheral civilizations.
The Defiers are targeting several poorly defended ancient ruins, planning to launch surprise attacks and plunder them.
They must have coordinated to act at the same time.
If we hadn’t discovered the Dark Energy Rebellions’ movements, Hymn wouldn’t have told us about this."
"This…" Su Yu furrowed his brow tightly.
This should be a storm that would affect two star systems. How did Blue Star get "lucky" enough to be caught in it?
And their opponent was the most brutal and bloodthirsty Dark Energy Rebellions…
…
Donna shook her head slightly and continued, "But that’s not the main issue.
For Hymn, the Five Major Rebel Organizations alone don’t pose much of a threat.
Su Yu, do you know why the Five Major Rebel Organizations exist?"
Su Yu was taken aback. "Isn’t it because of Hymn’s oppressive policies?"
"You’re right, it is because of Hymn’s oppressive policies," Donna nodded. "But have you ever considered the possibility that Hymn intentionally allows these five rebel organizations to exist?"
"Intentionally allows?" Su Yu was shocked.
"Exactly, this isn’t much of a secret anymore. Most high-ranking Saint Silver citizens are aware of it," Donna explained.
"The Five Major Rebel Organizations may seem formidable, but compared to the Saint Silver Federation controlled by Hymn, they are insignificant, like mice compared to elephants.
If Hymn truly wanted to eliminate the Five Major Rebel Organizations, they could be wiped out in an instant.
But Hymn hasn’t done that, and the reason is that Hymn intentionally allows them to exist."
"This… I never thought of that," Su Yu frowned and shook his head. "So, why would Hymn allow these rebel organizations to exist?"
"The reason is simple," Donna stood up from the sofa and slowly walked to the window, gazing outside.
"To ensure the rapid development of the entire Saint Silver Federation, Hymn must sacrifice the interests of many people.
For instance, the Anthem must control all power, unify language and script, and suppress the cultures of peripheral civilizations to reduce the cost of repetitive learning and prevent resources from being wasted on individuals with no future potential...
However, every intelligent being has biological desires shaped by their genes. Some crave power, some desire a life without constraints, some want to protect their own culture, and some hope their children will gain more resources to become high-level powerhouses, even if their children are weaklings...
This means that even if the Anthem eradicates all rebel organizations, as long as the intelligent beings under her rule still have desires, new rebel groups will continue to emerge.
So the Anthem deliberately allows these five major rebel organizations to exist, much like a city needs a landfill and a sewage pond even if its surface appears clean. As long as the five rebel organizations remain within controllable limits, there's no problem."
Tang Na glanced at Su Yu. "Moreover, the Anthem often finds valuable assets in the 'landfills.' For example, the 'Glory Rebels' often produce many capable administrative talents; the 'Fate Defiers' sometimes give birth to true prodigies who can defy fate...
Just like your Blue Planet's planetary-level powerhouse, Di Xin. After he defied his fate and achieved planetary-level status, the Anthem reassessed him and brought him back into her fold.
Do you understand what I'm saying?"
"Perfectly," Su Yu nodded.
He never expected the truth to be like this. The Anthem tolerated these rebel organizations to ease the conflicts that arose during development.
But now, a new problem emerged.
Su Yu asked, puzzled, "Tang Na, you said earlier that the 'five major rebel organizations are to the Holy Silver Federation as mice are to an elephant.'
If that's the case, why were you so anxious just now?
Shouldn't an elephant easily crush a mouse? Even if the five rebel organizations were to act simultaneously, you shouldn't be worried, right?"
Tang Na flicked her hair and smiled bitterly. "We're not afraid of just 'mice.' But have you considered another possibility—that there might be another 'elephant' behind the 'mice'?"
"What are you saying?!!" Su Yu's pupils contracted sharply.
Another 'elephant'? That means...
"Exactly. Various evidence shows that the five major rebel organizations, due to lax supervision, have secretly made contact with an alien civilization.
We don't know who this alien civilization is yet, but we do know they are a tech-focused civilization with technology far surpassing that of the Holy Silver civilization!
The Anthem detected several unknown tech-focused weapons on the front lines and just issued a top-level alert."
"..." Hearing this, Su Yu felt as if a thunderbolt had struck his ears. This situation was far from good!
Although the Anthem civilization has strong technology, this strength is relative to Blue Planet.
In the entire universe, the Anthem is actually a rather insignificant psychic civilization, specializing in psychic cultivation.
The Anthem originally kept the rebel organizations to address internal issues, but she never expected them to ally with an alien civilization!
No wonder Tang Na and Link were so anxious earlier. This could easily spark a galactic war!
...
But it seemed Su Yu was still misunderstanding the situation. He didn't fully understand Tang Na and Link.
For this brother and sister, the involvement of an alien civilization wasn't a major concern.
Not only is the identity of the alien civilization unknown, but even if it were known, and even if a war broke out, it wouldn't affect them much.
Such galactic wars can last for tens of thousands of years. Who can live that long?
The real reason for their anxiety was that the Anthem refused to let them return to the Holy Silver Secret Court!
According to the old rules, after such a significant event, they should have been able to quickly return to the Holy Silver Federation and stay safely in the rear, since they are teachers and students at the Holy Silver Secret Court.
But just now, when they requested to return, the Anthem directly rejected them and ordered them to stay on Blue Planet!
Staying on Blue Planet means staying on the front lines, facing the 'Dark Energy Rebels'—a group of madmen. And these madmen have access to the alien civilization's advanced technology, which could easily get them killed!
That's why they were so anxious.
