"Taris...Muur Talisman is not here, so what did you find here?" Das-Malthael said.

"Clue." Zerakas said, "There is an invisible and powerful force covering its existence. I don't know if this is the Force itself, the Will, or if this amulet has its own unique ability. If it is the former, this will be an exciting thing, because it means that the 'channel' is working."

He extended his telepathy to Lucien Del Rey's spirit, allowing him to hear his own words.

"What is the 'channel' you have been talking about?" Lucien Del Rey asked, but then he paused and said immediately, "I know what you are talking about...Force technology. If nothing else happens, Jedi Order will seal this technology. In my time, they already had this intention. But Sith Empire is still there, and they still need the power of Force technology."

"Is this Force technology... channel the reason why an artifact like Muur Talisman can burst out the maximum energy in the smallest volume and endure for thousands of years?" Das-Malthael said.

"That's right, and once it comes to Force technology, it will be another technological system that is completely different from the current one. Sometimes, this can't even be called technology, maybe more like... mysticism." Lucien Del Rey answered.

"So, what can you tell me about Force technology?" Das-Malthael asked.

"I won't say a single word, and I can tell you that Jedi Covenant Temple among Drai II, and there is no record of Force technology." Lucian Dre said.

Das-Malthael said coldly, "You should know that I will develop it sooner or later, right?"

"At least before that, the Milky Way can still have a few more stable days." Lucian Dray said lightly.

"What? Do you think the current galaxy is not chaotic enough?" Darth-Malthael mocked.

"Believe me, it will only get worse." After Lucian Dre finished speaking, he stopped talking and his shadow disappeared. It seemed that he understood that he could no longer stop Darth-Malthael in this matter, so he chose to be out of sight and out of mind.

The spacecraft entered the atmosphere of Taris and passed silently through the air. Although he could not understand the words on Protoss, Das-Malthael could still tell that the Protoss transport ship was in radar stealth mode.

Its unique materials and aerodynamic shape make the spacecraft's radar reflection area insignificant. This is just an ordinary aircraft of Protoss. From this small detail alone, it can be seen that Protoss's technological capabilities are completely superior to the entire galaxy at this stage.

Although these technologies are basically still in the think tank given to them by Darth-Malthael, waiting for the scientists of Protoss to unlock them.

And because Protoss is rare, this process may be very slow. Das-Malthael can only hope that when Protoss technology and industry reaches scale, it can still ensure sufficient technological advantages... After all, Galactic Republic and Research Department of the Galactic Empire in the future are not vegetarians.

This sleeping galaxy is waking up...

"This is also... the reason why I came." Das-Malthael raised his hand in front of his face and looked at it, not knowing what he was looking at.

Protoss transport ship directly avoided the sparse residential area on Taris and flew directly towards the largest continent on the planet.

Judging from the planet scan map, this continent occupies more than three-quarters of the entire planet's land area, which is quite similar to what the earth once looked like Pangaea.

But now, there are nearly 1 billion remaining people on Taris, but not a single city or settlement has been built on this continent.

And as Protoss transport ship flew at high speed, the endless blue sea outside the window suddenly changed into endless... black and gray.

This is a continent completely composed of black and gray... There is black and gray dust everywhere, covering the sky and almost blocking the sun. From time to time, Blitz is swimming in the black clouds in the sky, making a dull rumble.

There is nothing visible on the ground, only some black mountains rising and falling, and some withered black jungles.

The transport plane began to descend, and then, a large black shadow suddenly appeared in front of it! It was an extremely large city!

The city is completely in ruins, but you can still see the remains of some of the buildings that once towered into the sky. Even if some buildings were cut off in half, they were still over a thousand meters high, which shows how prosperous it was at that time.

But all of this has turned into a lifeless blackness.

With Das-Malthael's current eyesight, he could see clearly from the air that there were many twisted corpses on the city streets. These corpses were all charred black, and they didn't know what state they were in. In short, they still maintained their shape after thousands of years, just like some of the black jungles he saw along the way.

It also took some time for the transport plane to fly over the city, which shows the scale of the city! Back then, it was at least a super city with a population of hundreds of millions.

In Das-Malthael's mind, Lucien Del Rey sighed.

Afterwards, the transport plane landed next to a mountain range. There were ruins of a small town here, which should be a mining site.

"In the war 4000 years ago, Taris was occupied by Sith for a long time, but then Sith power was defeated. However, when the two sides fought, the planet suffered a devastating Orbital Bombardment was almost destroyed and has not been able to recover until now. The once prosperous planet with tens of billions of people now has less than one percent of the population living on some formerly remote islands and subcontinents," said Das-Malthael.

He took out a full-coverage protective mask and put it on himself. This place had been destroyed by unknown weapons, and the air was full of harmful substances. Without protective equipment, if an ordinary person took a breath, his respiratory tract would be immediately blocked by countless micron-level dust in the air, and he would die of painful suffocation before the whole body's functions were completely destroyed.

With Das-Malthael's current strength, he can naturally move freely here, but after all, there is no need to waste the Force in such a place.

"I also learned some about this history from recorded documents." Zerakas said, "But what I am concerned about is not the destruction and war that often occur in the universe, but the whereabouts of the amulet."

As the hatch opened, Shelak Tribe, the guardian of the temple with purple-spotted skin, Talim, jumped out first, raising a large cloud of black dust.

Then Zerakas also jumped down, completely ignoring the dust that immediately stained his fine clothes. It seemed that he was not as sophisticated as he looked.

Das-Malthael stepped off the spacecraft, looked at the lifeless surroundings, and then cast a searching look at Zerakas.

"Celeste Morne is one of the members of Jedi Covenant. According to the literature, Lucian Dre once asked her to find and destroy Muur Talisman. According to Lucian's judgment, this amulet is probably hidden here - in the Lower City of Taris." Zerakas said.

Das-Malthael walked forward, heading towards the mine.

The mine is Blackhole, and nothing can be seen. Black dust filled the entire cave, and from time to time there was a whining sound from inside. Maybe it was the wind, maybe it was something else. "Celeste Morne got Muur Talisman and left Taris. I can only see this part of the Force. The rest is very blurry."

To be more precise, it was because he didn't read the plot very carefully before he traveled through time.

After watching it all night, I ended up going to pick it up at the airport.

Well, I express strong condemnation and serious protest.
