Chapter 655: The Milky Way Sector


    All along, Su Chen had always thought that the term "Milky Way" in the Milky Way System was just a decorative phrase. He had never imagined that there might actually be a Milky Way within the Milky Way System.


    Imagine, a river that spanned the entire cosmos, cutting straight through a gxy. What a magnificent sight that must be?


    Perhaps Earth''s designation of this ce as the Milky Way System had reasons deeper than he knew. There might be more profound motivations hidden beneath the surface.


    "What does the Milky Way look like, exactly?" Su Chen couldn''t help but ask.


    "ording to what they say, the Milky Way is indeed a river, but this river exists in the vast expanse of the Universe, not on the surface of any. No one knows the exact length of the Milky Way, but it varies in width. At its narrowest points, it''s about five light-years wide, and at its widest, it stretches for hundreds of light-years."


    Su Chen was astonished. Even the narrowest point of a river was five light-years wide, which was roughly the distance from Earth to Lakestar.


    "Originally, the Milky Way remained unchanged for countless years. However, just a few decades ago, the Imperial Star of the Rota Empire noticed some activity within the Milky Way," Yuri paused briefly, "The Milky Way was overflowing."


    Su Chen couldn''t fathom what it would look like for the Milky Way to overflow. It was unimaginable; even if Earth were submerged by the Milky Way, it wouldn''t create a ripple.


    "When the Milky Way began to exhibit anomalies, people like them sensed trouble and left Imperial Star. Many simr individuals did the same. They don''t know how many people managed to escape in the end. ording to them, after arriving on this remote, all contact with Imperial Star was lost."Even for Large Gxy-level experts, traveling from Imperial Star to such a distant gxy would take a very long time, and in most cases, no one would willingly undertake such a journey.


    "So, are they of no use to us?" Su Chen felt disappointed that this lead to understanding the Rota Empire had suddenly vanished.


    Even if he knew about the Rota Empire''s previous strength, it wouldn''t be of much use now.


    There was one strange question, though. If the Imperial Star of the Rota Empire had experienced problems several decades ago, why didn''t the surroundings receive any news?


    If Yan Yun Star had known about it early, the entire would have descended into chaos, and it would have been impossible to wait calmly for the Ghost n''s appearance.


    In the end, Su Chen could only attribute it to the distance being too great,bined with the suddenness of the events, which prevented Imperial Star from contacting the surroundings.


    However, this might have turned the center of the Rota Empire into a disaster zone.


    "For me, this is a good thing. Without the assistance of the Rota Empire, mosts are not a match for me."


    Su Chen had learned a lot about the Rota Empire from Yao Yifei, knowing that even within the Empire, Small Gxy-level experts were considered formidable, and Large Gxy-level individuals were akin to regional lords. The entire Rota Empire didn''t have many Large Gxy-level experts; most of the strong individuals ons were Small Gxy-level.


    "Commander, how should we deal with these people?" Yuri continued to inquire.


    "You decide for yourself, and gather more information about the Rota Empire while you''re at it."


    After severing contact with Yuri, Su Chen once again contacted Yuan Yizhong, "What was the rtionship between the Qiluo Civilization and the Rota Empire when Qiluo Civilization rose to power?"


    Su Chen was quite curious about this. A civilization that had almost reached the pinnacle of humanity''s hierarchy was situated within an empire. How did the two entities manage their rtionship?


    In terms of power, Qiluo Civilization was undoubtedly stronger than Rota Empire.


    However, Yuan Yizhong''s response left him puzzled, "Rota Empire? Initially, the Empire that controlled the Milky Way System was called Risong, and it was a part of Qiluo Civilization. Rota Empire should have appearedter."


    Su Chen''s expression turned rather peculiar. He hadn''t expected that Qiluo Civilization had already controlled the Empire within the Milky Way System, and that Empire was not Rota Empire during that time.


    "What do you know about this Empire?" Su Chen felt that, regardless of the Empire, there shouldn''t be much difference, and he might obtain some information from Yuan Yizhong.


    "Commander, I was just a low-ranking researcher before, so I don''t know much about the Empire. However, I do know one thing: every Empire has a trump card to suppress other Empires, and this trump card can unleash power close to the Constetion level!" Yuan Yizhong''s voice was very solemn.


    Su Chen''s heart skipped a beat. Unleashing power close to the Constetion level was terrifying.


    While he hadn''t witnessed the might of a Constetion-level expert, he had encountered Large Gxy-level individuals, and they were already beyond his ability to contend with. So, the terror of Constetion-level power was beyond imagination.


    "No wonder an Empire can suppress an entire star system. It turns out they have such a formidable trump card."


    Su Chen had asked Les before about the immense power of Constetion-level experts. To them, destroying a only required the flick of a finger, and obliterating a star system was just a matter of time.


    The strength of Constetion-level experts was unfathomable, bordering on god-like in the eyes of Regr Humans. For instance, traveling from the center of an Empire to the edge of a star system would take them hardly any time at all, as their speed far exceeded that of light.


    Going from Large Gxy to Constetion-level marked a qualitative leap, and even power close to the Constetion level was something a Large Gxy-level individual could not contend with.


    Now the question arose: how was the Risong Empire wiped out, allowing subsequent Empires to rise and eventually be the current Rota Empire?


    If he remembered correctly, Yao Yifei had mentioned that Rota Empire had only existed for tens of thousands of years, which paled inparison to Empires with histories in the millions or even tens of millions of years. Rota Empire was like a child among them.


    Su Chen had been curious about other star system Empires, but unfortunately, information in this regard was quite sealed off, and not even Yao Yifei knew.


    "What else can you tell me?"


    "Another thing is that, apart from the central region, each vassal state manages its own affairs. They only report issues they can''t resolve on their own. The strength of each vassal state is at the Large Gxy level, but I''m not sure about the specific tiers."


    Su Chen asked a few more questions, and Yuan Yizhong shared all the information he knew.


    After severing contact, Su Chen fell into contemtion. He realized that his understanding of Rota Empire was still too limited, and the secret behind the rapid fall of Qiluo Civilization remained unknown, even to Yuan Yizhong.


    "It''s no use thinking too much. As long as I have enough strength, even if a Large Gxy-level expert appears, I can still take them down."


    With that thought, Su Chen promptly turned on hisputer and happily started ying a game. (To be continued...)
