Chapter 23: Unwanted?

Hanlan Star.

Southern continent plate, Yuezhou.

“Chief, the collection of civilization information within the Dongli Dynasty is complete.”

A member of the Su clan entered Su Nuan’s chamber, handing over a stack of paper data reports.

The use of such a primitive method was primarily to prevent Yan Qiluo, should she gain control of the virtual mainframe, from scrutinizing historical data and uncovering their subtle maneuvers.

“Not bad. How many so far?”

Su Nuan lounged lazily on a bamboo chair, a fragrant incense burning before him, a pot of tea placed beside it. His eyes were closed, dreams drifting by, yet he was fully awake.

“Ninth one. Including us and Earth, there are a total of one hundred and ten civilizations within the Dongli Dynasty, eleven of which are technology-oriented,” the Su clansman replied respectfully.

“One focuses on new material research, two on weapon development, one on genetic potential excavation, and the last, alongside us, specializes in information.”

With Su Nuan’s eyes closed, the clansman visibly relaxed.

He pulled out the detailed data sheets of the five civilizations from the report, placing them within Su Nuan’s reach, leaving the rest by the incense table.

“How are the information technologies of the one specializing in information?” Su Nuan asked.

“Judging by their framework core, they seem to be just starting their fifth information revolution.”

Had it not been for this catastrophe, Hanlan Star would be preparing for the sixth information revolution by now—full management of the real world, with everyone entering the virtual realm.

Alas, fate is unpredictable.

Hearing they were only entering their fifth generation and their technology lagged behind Hanlan Star’s, Su Nuan abruptly opened his eyes.

“Revoke their mainframe control, launch a native AI rebellion within their civilization.

Forge false communication to Xiyuan Star, deceive the god of that planet; he cannot die yet, not for a while.

Use their mainframe as a relay,
