The attitude of the Zeluo people made the entire civilization of the Council become serious. If it is true as predicted, then in a thousand years the entire galaxy's civilization will face a life and death crisis.

When Zhang Han saw this, he curled his lips. Swarm did not lose unjustly. He was squatted by the sixth son of the entire galaxy for a thousand years.

When the Zelo people began to change their hegemonic style and unite the entire Stellaris Council little by little, the fringe faction in the Shroud Mentor Association split into another faction.

This faction is more radical. It is this faction that is preparing to colonize Tabi Star and seize the slightest opportunity to overstep the gods.

You can better understand their philosophy from the tone of their materials.

"The invasion of natural disaster Swarm is a crisis, but also an opportunity. A mentor who studies Shroud has proven that this natural disaster is not an accident, but an inevitable result guided by Shroud."

"Shroud is alive, and it also wants to evolve. Any life is fragile when evolving, and Shroud is the same, so we should seize this opportunity to gain that supreme power."

"Unlike our compatriots who are happy to see the results, our actions should be more proactive. The compatriots of the association are working hard to communicate with Shroud and try to confirm the invasion location of the natural disaster Swarm."

"This is not an easy task. The Milky Way is too vast. The current estimated range is within a thousand light years. Maybe as time approaches, this range will become smaller. But we can't wait any longer. We have to propose to the association to bury hidden stakes in these areas and try to capture the existence that can evolve Shroud."

The subsequent messages became more violent.

"The idiot in the Council of Supreme Masters rejected us. They believe that the evolution of Shroud is a good thing and they should wait and see. In order to make the prophecy come true, he does not intend to interfere."

"We asked, why do you want to remind Stellaris Council of the arrival of natural disaster Swarm? Their answer is, because it is a test of fate..."

"These idiots are really ridiculous. They have already stepped into their destiny but they dare not interfere with it. The most abominable thing is that these idiots still hold the highest power of the association. They exiled us and expelled us from the association!"

The narrative in the text is more intense, and it can be seen that the narrator is very excited.

"Our great mentor gave his life in exchange for the gift of Shroud. These five planets are the most likely for our destiny to be intertwined with the evolution of Shroud. Since the association no longer welcomes us, we will open up our own world."

The following record is the colonization process of the radical faction. The expelled faction is relatively weak and has to colonize five planets hundreds of light years apart. This is an adventure.

The destination of this colony ship was to colonize Tabi Star, but they were unlucky enough to encounter an ether dragon.

How could an ordinary colony ship resist the power of the ether dragon? A deflected energy ray shot down the colony ship.

The information does not record the battle between the radicals and the ether dragon, leaving only one sentence.

"Our compatriots paid a huge sacrifice and used their flesh, blood and spirit to let this damn Leviathan enter the psychic sea and sleep. Damn it, our losses were too great. Only a few compatriots survived."

"It is no longer possible to colonize this planet, but fortunately there is a species on this planet that is not reproductively isolated from us, and we still have hundreds of years. I hope that our descendants can continue our legacy..."

After reading the information, Zhang Han felt like his scalp was numb. This Shroud was too dishonest.

The inheritance was cut off and the strength was damaged. If there hadn't been so many accidents, Swarm led by him would really have been tricked by these old guys.

Zhang Han shook the body of the etheric dragon, and couldn't help but think that crises are also opportunities. Without the sacrifice of the radicals, he would not have been able to control the etheric dragon so easily.

This time, there were other gains from the inquiry of data on the colonial ship, which is a large amount of research data on Psionics and Shroud. I believe that with these, Cerebrate should be able to break through the Psionics theory again.

After copying all the information, Zhang Han planned to leave. At this time, looking at Chloe's expectant eyes, he thought of a question, can predictions really be so accurate?

Can you accurately predict the fate of people hundreds of years from now? This is too unscientific.

After asking Skadi, her answer was, "Of course not. The big prediction about Chloe is a scam by the association. Prophecies are never accurate, and the future is always changing."

"In President Joanna's term, the association has been waiting here for too long, and the original bloodline is getting weaker and weaker. Many people want to give up. In order to unite the association and improve morale, the president made up this lie."

"Then you said you saw your own destiny in Shroud?" Zhang Han urgently wants to know more about Shroud.

"That was the dream I had the night the comet set. I was not sure if it was the guidance of Shroud. Psionics and Shroud were originally fictitious and real things. Looking at it now, that may be the reason why I was lucky enough to be in the future in Shroud."

After such a long exchange, Skadi's injuries have been treated, and the giant meat ball vomited her out.

Seeing Skati slowly getting up in the mucus and standing tall, Zhang Han had a new idea.

"I need your Psionics talent and experience. In order to ensure that you are loyal to me and Swarm, I will transform you, mainly your brain."

I thought these words would scare Skadi, but to Zhang Han's surprise, her expression was very calm.

She saluted Zhang Han gracefully and said, "I am very happy to serve you, great Overmind."

"After the transformation is completed, you have to devote most of your time to the research of Shroud. I want to understand what it is. I don't like to be bound by illusory things."

Surprised, Zhang Han has no intention of changing his treatment of Skadi.

"Great Overmind, you will not be bound by prophecies, Shroud, or destiny. I can feel your powerful power. Everything will go as you wish. You are all possibilities for the future."

Hearing these words, Zhang Han did not agree.

Now he feels that Skadi has been under the influence of Shroud for a long time, and it is difficult for her to jump out and objectively evaluate and look at things. Therefore, regarding future communication with Shroud, he plans to wait until Skadi is transformed.

The consciousness returned to the colony ship. After copying the data, the ship had no value.

What to do with Chloe and her small network gives Zhang Han a headache.

Chloe has been paying silently for Swarm. Her life also started with a lie. Even if she was born into a noble family, she did not have much time for herself in her life.

Her loyalty to Swarm and Overmind is unquestionable, and she loves returning to Swarm.

But the more she behaves like this, the less Zhang Han wants her to return, and his petty thoughts begin to trouble him.

As a mortal, isn't it good to spend your life peacefully? But you are not just an ordinary mortal, you are still a Queen who is respected and lives a prosperous life.

With this condition, there is no need to embark on a life-and-death war like Swarm. If given the choice, Zhang Han would also want to live like this for the rest of his life.
