Chapter 565 The End of the Old Era
Santa Casonas, residential area, night.

The night breeze was cool. Tilan sat on the water tank on the roof, overlooking the night view of the city below and relaxing at the same time.

No wonder the Federation sealed up the history of the Fifth Era and only used a few words in education to describe the tragedy of that year. Reading too much of these things can really make people feel physically uncomfortable.

The Fifth Era lasted for more than 4600 years, during which countless killings and destructions were caused, so that the life of that era was numb to death. The overly chaotic environment also caused technology to almost stagnate, and even partially regressed. After all, the scientists you thought of might have only taken three months to crawl out of the incubator. Expecting them to be any different from the previous batch of dead researchers is like wishing in a dream.

In the first 1200 years, there was still some order and the historical records were relatively detailed. In the next 3000 years, the entire civilization was broken up. Even if there were records, they were all private records in various places. There was no longer a unified text that recorded from the perspective of the entire civilization.

According to calculations, at the beginning of the Fifth Era, around 1000 years ago, the human race was approximately 4 trillion. By the end of the Fifth Era, the human race might be only over 1000 billion. This is even including the "primitive people" who hid on various hidden planets and lost a lot of technological heritage. The number of humans who still retained a certain level of technical research capabilities might be only around 500 billion. The various new races of the same period might add up to nearly 200 trillion, which is times the number of old humans.

Fortunately, most of these new races gathered under the dark sun to fight each other, and at that time they were too lazy to care about these insect-like old humans.

Shaking her head, Tilan tapped her brows with her fingers, a chill spread out, then she took out the flute, placed it in front of her and started playing.

The sound of the flute was not loud at first, but as the melodious sound spread, her mind slowly immersed in it, with a hint of sadness, probably because she was sighing for the scenes in history.

The night was cold and lonely, the sound of the flute was distant, and the girl's thoughts turned into strands of music that were carried into the wind.

The neon lights of the night market not far away are still flickering, the streets are filled with traffic and lights, and quiet and ordinary life can be seen everywhere, making it difficult to notice any difference. But in the world 1600 years ago, to the people of that era, this might have been a scene that only existed in dreams.

……

[Fifth Era 1200-2400. During these 1200 years, the dark suns in the Milky Way rose and fell, and the fights between them became more and more intense. During this period, many countries of the old humans disappeared, and the new races gradually replaced the status of the main body of civilization.]

【In the 2400-2500 years of the Fifth Era, even the Dark Suns were afraid of too brutal a war, because when the race that supported them perished, it would also mean their own demise. During that period, most of the habitable planets in the Milky Way were destroyed, and the new races lacked a place to rely on. Building large habitable space stations and transforming desolate planets required a long time and energy. For this reason, many Dark Suns began to tacitly reduce the intensity of battles and not to start a war easily. This tacit understanding has also spread in the past 100 years.】

[In the year 2582 of the Fifth Era, a special fleet sailed into the center of the Milky Way, attempting to obtain the legacy of the first throne of God left over from the glorious era. This action stimulated the high-level mechanical life sleeping in the throne of the center of the Milky Way. As Sequence 9 mechanical life created by the Transcendents, these huge and extremely powerful mechanical behemoths destroyed the fleet after awakening, and gave hope to many wandering old humans.]

[In the year 2677 of the Fifth Era, many humans gathered in the center of the Milky Way slowly found ways to coexist with these mechanical life forms, and gradually interpreted the legacy left by the Transcendents. After that, they announced the establishment of a new Mechanical Council. According to the order of the Greek letters, the 15th letter is Ο (Omicron), and the 16th Greek letter is π (Pie), so they called themselves the π Mechanical Council.]

[In the 2700-2800 years of the Fifth Era, more and more dark suns showed interest in the ruins of the Milky Way. Although they were already powerful enough, there was still a huge gap between them and the Sun Crown of the glorious era. In order to make up for their own shortcomings and find a way to become eternally powerful, they successively sent fleets to invade the throne of the Milky Way, trying to use violence to pry open the treasure that had been dormant for tens of thousands of years.]

[In the year 2901 of the Fifth Era, after more than 100 years of continuous war, the mechanical life forms guarding the throne of the Galactic Center were completely wiped out, and the Pi Mechanical Council also perished during this period. Only a small number of people escaped with the inherited relics and mechanical life forms.]

[In the year 2915 of the Fifth Era, the Sun Throne left over from the glorious era was destroyed in the fight, and a large amount of precious information and cultural relics about the Four Origins were destroyed. In the same year, the Moon Throne became abnormal during the battle. According to the records, it may have been activated for a few seconds, but in the era when the Transcendents and the Old Humans were almost completely wiped out, the remaining throne did not raise the Moon Crown, but only flickered once.]

[In the year 2916 of the Fifth Era, the roar of dragons rose from the densely packed stars in the center of the Milky Way. Another guard force left by the Transcendent was awakened. They were the slumbering star dragons. These dragons were extremely large, with bodies that could reach hundreds of thousands of meters in length. Their strength far exceeded that of ordinary Sequence 9. Their awakening destroyed the galactic fleet that had disturbed the center of the Milky Way.]

【Fifth Era 2900-3400, for 500 years, the battles between the dark suns continued, destruction and death occurred everywhere, and increasingly mature technology also allowed new races to be born faster and faster, just like a swarm of insects. Perhaps at this time, the "humans" should be called "insects" more appropriately. They matured in honeycomb-like cultivation chambers, and after coming out, they performed various predetermined repetitive tasks according to the orders of their superiors. They did not need entertainment, thinking, or complex emotions, and no longer had the concept of independent individuals. All individuals were limbs of the entire group, like the life of a gestalt.】

[In the year 3589 of the Fifth Era, the star dragons that occupied the center of the Milky Way were wiped out by the increasingly powerful dark suns, and the information about the Moon Crown was also obtained by some of the dark suns.]

[In the year 3711 of the Fifth Era, the Dark Sun Easis was reborn. After the Crown was extinguished, it rose again and gained new abilities. Different from the power to interfere with matter and energy in the past, it gained power related to space, which was the power domain that the Moon Crown once possessed.]

[During the Fifth Era, 3711-3904, approximately 7 special dark suns were born. They successively obtained the power of the time and space domain, which greatly increased their strength and surpassed other dark suns.]

[In the year 3956 of the Fifth Era, the Rho Mechanical Council was established at the edge of the Milky Way. They used a large number of mechanical life forms as their foundation to build their own dark sun, Rou, to obtain protection. The dark sun, Rou, also possessed the power of the space-time domain, which enabled the members of the Rho Mechanical Council to gain extremely strong mobility and survive in the cracks between the many dark suns.]

[In the 4000-4200 years of the Fifth Era, with the secret support of the Rho Mechanical Council, the old humans in various places obtained technology and inheritance information, and gradually established various forms of rescue associations to help the old humans who were hunted by the new races. ]

[In the fifth era, from 4200 to 4241, the actions of the Mechanical Council protected by the Dark Sun·Rou were noticed, and multiple Dark Suns united to strangle the Dark Sun·Rou. In 4241, the Mechanical Council was destroyed, and the scattered rescue societies lost their support and struggled to survive again.]

【In the 4250-4400 years of the Fifth Era, in order to avoid being hunted by the new races, the remaining old humans and various rescue societies began to build superluminal spaceships and live a wandering life. In this process, some old humans and rescue societies received support from another branch of humans, the mermaids of the Deep Sea Union. They taught these refugees the skills and experience needed to wander in the universe, and gave them extremely valuable star map data to help them avoid various dangers. After that, these wandering fleets gradually learned to trade between stars, and were called "locust merchants" by the new races at that time, meaning that they were as annoying as insects but could not be killed.】

[In the 4400-4500th year of the Fifth Era, although they were called "locust merchants", their long-term wanderings also allowed these caravans to gain a lot of knowledge and technical information, and gradually developed their own unique characteristics. They began to call themselves enterprises or companies, and sold things they were interested in and lacked to the new races in the war. These things included entertainment products that the upper new races liked, such as stories, movies, games, gorgeous clothes, and intelligence from distant star regions. Relying on bribes of these things, these enterprises or companies finally gained the right to survive in the cracks of the battle of the dark sun. ]

[July 4502, 7 of the Fifth Era, is a day worth remembering. Melero, Monedisa, and Metrid, three sages who were later called saints, broadcast the secret formula of severing consciousness connection to the entire galaxy. This formula can allow individuals of the new race to break away from the consciousness network built by the race and become independent individuals, avoiding direct spiritual influence from the same race. At the same time, it can also protect other races, including the old humans, from the influence of mind control spells.]

[In the year 4512 of the Fifth Era, the Sigmar Mechanical Council was established. They used a new partition formula to construct a brand new mechanical life. These new mechanical lives were not affected by mental abilities, so when facing the Dark Sun, they would not be brainwashed or driven crazy by its powerful mental consciousness, and became daggers that could kill gods, although they were still quite weak at this time.]

[In the 4526th year of the Fifth Era, the 'Flower of Golden Flame' Isanissa followed the visiting spaceship and left the Twin Trees Star Region where she was born, heading for the vast universe. Her arrival announced that the last piece of the puzzle had been completed, slowly opening the curtain for the end of the Fifth Era.] When the book turned to the last page, Tilan felt like she breathed a sigh of relief. This sad era was finally over.

In the years that followed, 'Flower of Golden Flame' Isenissa began her legend, uniting various interstellar forces, slowly twisting them together, and gradually forming a unified and powerful force. Different from the dark sun that was born from brainwashing and industrial cultivation, she showed the intellect, unity, wisdom, spirituality, sacrifice, and other fantastic qualities that humans should have, and gradually pulled the entire civilization out of the abyss step by step and back on track.

When looking at history, one always feels that the character of people in those recorded times was too good, a feeling that it is unreal. But if one goes back to that painful and dark era, and truly experiences all the separations of life and death, and the cruelty and hardships of the world, one will discover how precious and desirable that touch of warmth is.

Because in that era, life was not a very rare thing, just like the dirt on the roadside, it could disappear at any time. In their opinion, it was worthwhile and cost-effective to exchange this fragile and fragile life for a little hope and warmth.

Yes, it is worth it and cost-effective. In peacetime, people often say that life is precious and priceless, but in an era when life is as precious as weeds, life does have a price, and it is a very low price.

……

After finishing the sorting, Tilan visited Filuselin again to ask her about angels and the church.

'The inheritance of the cult comes from the ρ Mechanical Council, which was the forefather who first raised the dark sun, Rou. When the π Mechanical Council that was trapped in the center of the Milky Way was destroyed, some of its descendants fled and scattered, and we were one of them.'

……

"You asked me why there is no mechanical inheritance. This is because the Rho Mechanical Council was destroyed later. The branch that inherited the mechanical technology established the Sigma Mechanical Council, and we only inherited the parts related to the Four Primordials."

……

"Yes, because we have raised the dark sun, we have a special understanding of how these artificial angels were born."

……

"In your case, you're probably not an artificial angel, but your birth was partly caused by human intervention, which makes it difficult for me to tell."

……

"Do you think you have a mission? I can't answer you on this matter. If I have to, I certainly hope that you will become a great singer in the future and bring civilization to another peak. But I also deeply understand that such things cannot be forced. Everything depends on your personal choice."

……

"If I had a choice, I would actually want to kill you because your existence is too unstable. Half of you could be a great singer, and the other half could be the resurrected dark sun. I don't like gambling."

……

"Why did I choose to give up killing you? It's because I failed. If Sifnaileen's Sigh can't destroy you, then other means are bound to be difficult to kill you. The most likely scenario is the birth of a ghost full of resentment. Doesn't this mean that my actions have led to the fulfillment of the prophecy of the destruction of the world? I am a smart saint and angel, and I won't do such a stupid and extreme thing."

……

"Lying is troublesome, and you're a singer, so lying to you is even more troublesome and difficult. I tell you this not only to show my kindness to you, but also because I hope you can foresee the danger of your own situation. I don't want you to be forced into some dark and desperate situation because of some accidental misunderstandings."

"You must consciously avoid options that may lead you into darkness, and try to stay on the right path."

……

"I will stay in Santa Casonas. If you ever feel something is not right, you can come back here to recuperate and take refuge."

……

"Goodbye, Heshia Tilan."

Boarding the super-space plane heading for space, Heshia waved to the city below. Although she couldn't see it now, she knew that in some corner, the Saint of Sifnelien must be watching her leave.

Goodbye, Philuselin. Although she likes and hates her at the same time, this saint with the power of the Seraph is indeed an unforgettable friend for Heshia.
