Ancestral Wealth Inheritance System
Chapter 590 - 590: A Letter from the Stars

"What's... what's going on here?" Wu Zhao returned to his spaceship still confused. Why did Ma Yun become so tense upon hearing about the Leo Civilization?

"Earth... could it be..."

Suddenly, Wu Zhao remembered an event from long ago.

Back then, the ruler of the Milky Way was another warrior. For some unknown reason, one day the galaxy was suddenly visited by a group of uninvited guests. Although they weren't many, they all came from a Level 3 Civilization.

The then-ruler of the Milky Way was just a mere warrior at the seventh level of Divine Ability User. To protect his civilization, he bravely stood up but was instantly blown apart by the intruders' weapons.

These invaders seemed to have a shared purpose, but after entering the Milky Way, they never came out again, as if they mysteriously vanished within the galaxy.

Later, because the ruler had fallen, the entire Milky Way erupted into a massive war to seize the position of the new ruler. Through several dynastic changes, Wu Zhao eventually ascended to the throne as the ruler of the Milky Way.

Though he hadn't personally experienced that incident, he could find it in the history of the Milky Way.

Moreover, as the ruler of the Milky Way, he naturally understood the civilizations within it very well. However, he had never heard of a civilization called Earth within the galaxy.

Connecting this series of events together and adding Fang Jueyu's reaction, Wu Zhao quickly deduced a few things!

"Hurry, gather everyone, immediately search the entire galaxy for a civilization called Earth!" Wu Zhao could guess that something unprecedented was about to happen with this Earth civilization!

...

At this moment, Earth was still immersed in a state of prosperity and calm.

Nearly a year had passed since Fang Jueyu left Earth. However, due to the awe he instilled before his departure, superpower users from other countries behaved themselves, and what was once localized warfare transformed into an era of peace globally.

When Fang Jueyu was still on Earth, he'd occasionally stir up some trouble, but for the past year, it was as if he'd vanished without a trace, even ceasing updates on social platforms like Weibo.

Fang Jueyu's friends and classmates all tried to contact him, but they couldn't get any information about him, leading to various rumors online.

Some said he had offended too many people and was kidnapped and killed by an organization; others said he was gravely ill and passed away.

Yet, only the people from the Super God Academy and Huaxia Yanhuang knew that no one on Earth could possibly harm Fang Jueyu!

As for his venture into cosmic civilization, besides Guo Xinyu, Zhuang Ying, his aunts, and the chief, no one else knew—not even his good friends Wang Cong and Jiang Yi had any information.

Currently, in the Academician Workstation in Jiangnan City, a group of researchers had been busy to the extreme. Since yesterday, gamma rays observed in Earth's orbit had intensified hundreds of times, and even scientists from other countries had noticed this unusual phenomenon.

After careful study, they discovered that the findings of a Huaxia researcher named Professor Liu Guang were actually correct! Back then, he had unjustly suffered such an international disgrace!

But given their theoretical levels, they couldn't derive any useful results from these gamma rays in a short time, and they even suspected that Professor Liu Guang's theory might indeed be true, possibly signaling an unprecedented disaster for Earth!

However, such events seemed too remote for a peaceful Earth, and to prevent panic, countries immediately suppressed this news.

In the Academician Workstation, besides the staff, there was also the presence of Long Ting.

This was because Fang Jueyu had instructed that if any anomaly occurred, it should be reported immediately!

"Professor Liu Guang, what's the outcome?" The chief anxiously awaited the computational results.

"Very bad!" Liu Guang shook his head. "According to the current intensity of the gamma rays, the wormhole is projected to be completed by tonight. It's really unpredictable what might come out of it then."

"What about Fang Jueyu? Where has the academician gone? He hasn't shown up in a year, and now that this is happening, does he plan to keep things hidden?" Long Ting was evidently angry.

"Miss Long, Academician Fang mentioned he had something particularly urgent to handle this year, which is related to resolving this matter. We also haven't heard from him in a year."

"What about his family? Can't they reach him either?"

"Alright, Long Ting, losing your temper here won't help. What's most important now is figuring out how to respond," said the chief, his face full of worry. "We might be facing an unknown civilization! I couldn't have imagined such a thing happening during my tenure."

"Chief, do you truly believe that the wormhole is part of an extraterrestrial civilization's plan to invade Earth?"

In the chief's mind, the truth was clear. Since Fang Jueyu could pilot a spaceship away from Earth, it wasn't surprising that a group of extraterrestrials from another civilization could come here.

"Regardless, we must prepare for the worst. What we need to consider is how we should respond if they're indeed invaders!"

"If they turn out to be of an extraterrestrial civilization, having mastered wormhole technology, their scientific power would far exceed ours. We must unify all powers on Earth to deal with it."

"Chief, this year, Yanhuang and I have added nearly ten Divine-level Superpower Users. As for the Super God Academy created by Fang Jueyu, it has produced hundreds of Source Energy Users even stronger than Divine-level Superpower Users. We've also seen a surge of talent in various fields. Huaxia's strength now is unparalleled globally."

Huaxia had drastically transformed compared to a year ago, adding Mobile Soldier forces, equipping planes and tanks with the latest beam weapons, and even deploying high-tech weapons previously seen only in science fiction. The pool of talent was continuously growing.

"What worries me is that even all this might not be enough!" said the chief. "Long Ting, contact the other nations immediately..."

"Chief, we've discovered a data stream within a gamma-ray burst!" Professor Liu Guang suddenly interrupted, sounding like he'd found a new continent. "It's intelligent life, an intelligence other than humans!"

The expressions on everyone's faces were extremely complex—both joyful and concerned. Joyful because humanity wasn't alone, as there were other civilizations beyond Earth, but concerned because they might not come with good intentions.

"Can it be decoded?"

"It'll take some time. This information is in a special script, very similar to the scripts left by ancient Earth civilizations. We need some experts!"

"No need, I'll get some people immediately," Long Ting said. "There are many members from the Super God Academy in Yanhuang who were taught this script in their literary courses."

"Alright, you go find some people, and I'll contact the other countries. In an hour, we'll have an online video conference!"
