Chapter 1608: Gathering Focus
Compared to the Magus Civilization and the Grand Apocalypse World, the Gallant Federation’s insights and achievements in technology truly surpassed those of most other civilizations.
After acquiring the wreckage of a square warship left behind by the Eiyurant Papillon Civilization, the Gallant Federation employed some sort of method to pinpoint yet another ancient civilization’s ruins.
This one, however, was extremely small in scale. It was likely nothing more than a logistical supply station used by the Eiyurant Papillon Civilization’s legions in the distant past.
Yet it was precisely through this supply station that the Gallant Federation was able to discover and confirm another thing—the region surrounding the Shadowbat Civilization, currently embroiled in war, was highly likely the Eiyurant Papillon Civilization’s final primary area of operations.
Even the star charts and navigation routes preserved within the station revolved around that very star domain.
It took the Gallant Federation nearly a decade to move from the initial discovery to confirming that the Shadowbat Civilization’s periphery might conceal the remnants of an ancient technological civilization.
Ten years was, in truth, a very short span of time—especially for law-wielding powerhouses of top-tier civilizations, and for those deeply involved in the Clash of Civilizations.
Although the Gallant Federation did uncover valuable artifacts and ancient cultivation techniques within the ruins of the Black Merlot Civilization, federal scientists soon confirmed that these methods were fundamentally incompatible with human physiology.
Differences in organs, blood composition, and overall bodily structure made direct replication of those primordial cultivation techniques impossible.
Instead, another aspect of the Black Merlot Civilization uncovered within the ruins piqued the federal scientists’ interest.
Beyond their impressive individual evolutionary capabilities, the ancient Black Merlot Civilization appeared to have achieved extraordinary mastery in beast-taming techniques.
Millions of years ago, the powerhouses of the Black Merlot Civilization had ridden ancient war beasts into battle, clashing head-on with the Eiyurant Papillon Folk.
