Any choice comes with a price.

When the Gaellings chose to lie peacefully in the cradle protected by the dragon and enjoy their peaceful time.

When the Gaerlings relied on the powerful technology developed for colonizing the stars in the past and the gifts from the 'Honorable', they easily obtained inexhaustible material and energy.

They also lost the ability to compete in the sea of ​​​​stars.

Who would be willing to go to all the trouble to explore distant exoplanets when you can easily live a blissful life in the cradle of your home star?

Not everyone in this race is a fool.

But if there are only one or two smart people, it is also of little use.

...Yes, the dragon is also a living being, and it can die.

But so what?

It has lived for millions of years. Who knows if it will live for millions more?

It has only been a few million years since the birth of Gaelin civilization.

Not to mention millions, not even 100,000.

Why worry about these things?

Maybe they can not only watch them grow up, but also send them away in the end.

In fact, in the imagination of most people, this is indeed the case.

Even a few scholars have done serious research in this area.

Through a distant but still operating observer on a former colonial planet.

The Aether Dragon, still sleeping near the Dragon Treasure Planet, was detected from a distance.

And during the observation of the dragon's status, some data were analyzed.

He warned that the dragon might reach the end of its life within the next 30,000 years.

but...

Still not taken seriously by mass society:

——Oh, let’s talk about it then!

People who live in the present, why should they worry about future troubles?

That is the responsibility of the next generation.

Ok.

These are the elves of the age of pleasure.

Sons beget sons and grandsons beget grandsons, and all responsibilities are given to the next generation.

Relays from generation to generation, kicking the ball from generation to generation.

Every generation does not think that the unlucky person will be them.

Then...

When the last generation of people from the Dragon Worship Cult gave the warning that "the dragon is about to die", they were immediately confused.

The sky is falling.

The sky is falling.

They spent tens of thousands of years building their home planet like a garden chosen by the gods.

During these tens of thousands of years, I lay in this extremely luxurious garden and enjoyed a carefree life comparable to that of the gods.

But all this is based on the 'Guardian of the Dragon'.

When the dragon's eyes become cloudy;

When the dragon's wings no longer flap;

When the seemingly endless light and heat in the dragon's body began to slowly cool down and decay.

The foundation of civilization collapsed immediately.

Finally lost the guardian.

It’s time to start over again, after facing the threat of alien civilization alone.

The Gaerlings finally panicked.

The United Kingdom government immediately began trying to restart the interstellar expansion plan.

However...

By now, it's too late.

How can it be so easy to pick up something that has been lost for 30,000 years?

Not to mention.

During this period of nearly 30,000 years, they gave up almost all their achievements in this era of indulgence and enjoyment.

Those extremely brilliant giant floating fortresses that can sail into space...

Gone.

All gone.

During the Age of Discovery 30,000 years ago, the nations of the Gaerlin Civilization combined had hundreds of 100,000-ton floating fortresses, all of which were powered by cutting-edge magic obelisks.

Some of them were deployed in orbit and were completely destroyed in the subsequent Aether Dragon attack.

Most fell to the surface, and a few became space junk in synchronous orbit;

And more of them were transferred to other planets in the galaxy before the attack and became mobile colonies.

and completely lost contact after the attack.

After the dragon attack, until the establishment of the United Kingdom, only one floating fortress plan was launched, and it has not been completely completed.

Before the adamantine armor was installed and the magic cannon was deployed, the outfitting was stopped because the interstellar colonization plan was abandoned.

This floating fortress, with only the main structure completed, was eventually transformed into the 'Crystal Palace'.

A tourist space station in geosynchronous orbit.

He was known as the "Heaven on Earth" for his extreme ostentation and extravagance.

This is the last legacy of the Gaerlings' once glorious interstellar era.

Not even a single piece of the other equipment configured for the original 'Star Fleet' consisting of floating fortresses and airships has been preserved.

The indestructible adamantine golem...

Demolished.

The terrifying weapons that were once invincible in land warfare have now become raw materials in the hands of sculptors.

Shaped into majestic sculptures, they fully demonstrate the glitz of the past;

Countless magic cannons...

Demolished.

These strategic weapons with terrifying caliber and specially developed for interstellar combat have lost their existence value.

The magic crystals that were once a priority supply to them are no longer used for any military purposes.

In the hands of the best architects and artists, they are shaped into exquisite crafts.

The Magic Crystal Armillary Sphere is smaller than a peach core but can perfectly simulate the rising and setting of the sun, the changes in the four seasons, and even the stars in the universe.

This exquisite jewelry can be used as earrings or necklace pendants, and is worn on the bodies of those elven ladies;

The music park is so big that it stretches for dozens of miles and occupies an entire mountain.

Composed of countless "magic crystal self-ringing bells", there is no need for a musician or any conductor. Just relying on the wind blowing between the mountains, they can play slow, fast, or slow music together. Different pieces of music, either passionate or elegant, light or grand, almost none of them are the same, fully demonstrating the wealth of the owner of this place.

...all of these are not enough.

Just like those bullshit directors in peacetime who completely forgot about the war and turned the arduous and arduous War of Resistance Against Japan into scenes of "sacred dramas" that were lame and ridiculous to the extreme.

In thirty thousand years of enjoyment, the Gaerlings had completely lost their last bit of understanding in the military field.

Not to mention creating new weapons of war.

The vast majority of their generation no longer even have the concept of 'what war is'.

Fortunately.

The Gaelin civilization is, after all, composed of a huge intelligent race.

Of course, there are those hedonistic people who have become indifferent to food and work.

There are still a small number of true elites who can save the nation and continue the world.

Just like the scholars who had warned.

Another example...

This organization that Lilybai belongs to.

——Dragon Worship Cult.

It wasn't originally this name, but considering that the original name was smelly and long, she was likely to mix up the number of characters when writing it down repeatedly, and would be easily beaten, so Lilibai translated it into this simple and easy-to-understand word in Chinese.

This is the sect that first worshiped the dragon.

Later it evolved into the only state religion of the entire civilization.

What’s funny is that in the past tens of thousands of years, when the entire civilization fell into a state of corruption, it was those who first began to worship the ether dragon, who still maintained their observation of the world beyond the planet.

The reason is very simple, after all, they really have faith.

The Dragon Worship Cult, which worships the star beasts from the bottom of their hearts, naturally does not want anything bad about the gods in their minds.

Therefore, if nothing happened, I would use those observers to secretly spy on the situation of the ether dragon.

He has been trying to communicate with the Ether Dragon and constantly initiated various call invitations.

Speaking of this kind of behavior...

One thing to say, it's quite illegitimate.

But no matter what, their illegitimate meal behavior is indeed very useful.

Because Gaerlin's life form is special, almost all of them are psykers.

Their persistent calling really paid off.

--Occasionally, just occasionally, the Aether Dragon would respond to them.

There is a language barrier between the two parties, but they can feel the emotions emanating from the latter through the spiritual link between certain special psychics and the dragon.

After building a bridge of communication, the Dragon Worship Cult was ecstatic.

They presented this news to the world in a very high profile.

This has also become an important basis for the entire civilization to enjoy a decadent life with peace of mind in the era of hedonism.

At the same time, the Dragon Worship Cult quickly formalized this communication bridge.

Select and train suitable 'Dragon Communicators' and train them into a role similar to a 'Saint', specifically responsible for building a bridge between 'humans and gods'.

The official name is 'Dragon Miko'.

Lily Bai is the dragon witch of this generation.

It was she who discovered the information that the Ether Dragon was beginning to age rapidly and was about to reach the end of its life.

..

After realizing that the situation was not good, the Dragon Cult quickly took action.

Trying to find a way to save the dragon.

In fact, they learned a lot of key information from the exchange with the dying dragon:

First of all, of course, there is the weird and weird 'nirvana reenactment' style of life of the etheric dragon;

Secondly...

Nedian, that is, the giant dragon, told the Dragon Witch Cult through the spiritual message of the Dragon Witch.

Under normal circumstances, an etheric dragon can re-enact nirvana three times at most.

That means you can reincarnate three times.

And now.

It is exactly experiencing the life process after the third nirvana.

In other words.

After its lifespan ends this time, it is truly dead.
