Chapter 465: The Membrane Beyond Blue Star! A Hypothesis!

~7 min read 1,234 words

Boom!!

In the holographic projection, a molten fire beast soared through the sky, spewing scorching flames from its massive mouth.

Under temperatures of tens of millions of degrees, the city instantly melted into glass-like crystals.

Psychics and ordinary humans evaporated outright!

"A sovereign-level molten fire beast? Flames with temperatures rivaling a star?"

Xu Jingming stared in shock at this scene.

Keep in mind that

The Jin Nation of the Second Civilization Era had conquered all landmasses on Blue Star except the oceans.

Even the wilderness regions on the surface were nearly gone.

He had considered that the Jin Nation's sudden collapse might have been caused by meteorites or extreme weather.

But he never imagined it was due to ferocious beasts!

And in less than a month, Blue Star's 12 billion population plummeted to under 2 billion.

Truly terrifying!

More critically, no one knew where this molten fire beast came from—that was even more terrifying.

"Actually, not just my Second Civilization Era, but the First Civilization Era nearly experienced the same thing."

Eva's voice sounded again, "According to the data we've collected from the First Civilization Era,

when they reached their peak, a molten fire beast appeared and completely severed their civilization's legacy."

"The First Civilization Era had one too?"

Xu Jingming's heart leapt, and he asked urgently:

"What about the civilization before the First Civilization Era? Did a molten fire beast appear then?"

A terrifying ferocious beast appeared in both the First and Second Civilization Eras.

Then the Third Civilization Era, in which he now lived, was very likely to see one again!

"Documented records can only be traced back to the First Civilization Era.

What happened before that timeline, we do not know."

Big Eva shook her head and continued:

"After learning of the molten fire beast's existence from First Civilization data, we also tried to locate its juveniles.

But we never found any trace of such juveniles, so later we merely treated it as a legend.

Only after the molten fire beast suddenly appeared did we realize it truly existed.

Based on our subsequent deductions, this molten fire beast either slept all along on Blue Star, awakening only after a certain period,

or it came from the unexplored stars..."

"Unexplored stars?"

Xu Jingming froze, "What's out there in the stars? Even your Second Civilization Era couldn't break out of Blue Star?"

The Second Civilization Era's technology far surpassed the modern age—if even they couldn't escape, something was seriously wrong.

"Our strongest warriors once explored and discovered that Blue Star is entirely wrapped in an invisible 'membrane.'

Because of this membrane, neither rockets nor satellites, nor even human psychics, can break out of Blue Star and reach the stars."

Big Eva waved her right hand, and a holographic projection of Blue Star appeared.

The entire Blue Star was enclosed within this membrane—even the Moon was unreachable.

"This..." Xu Jingming's pupils shrank to needle points.

If the molten fire beast might still be a terrifying beast that had survived all along on Blue Star,

and could be destroyed by sufficient strength,

then this membrane's existence implied that Blue Star had likely been tampered with!

Perhaps even civilizations beyond Blue Star existed—this place was merely their designated experimental ground.

And these people, including him, were nothing but lab mice in this experiment!

"No wonder the top-tier强者 never explained why they couldn't break out of Blue Star.

If this news became public, it would cause utter panic!"

Xu Jingming's heart trembled.

He had originally thought this was merely a parallel world with extra supernatural powers.

But now it seemed the differences from his past life went far beyond that.

"But for me, whether it's the molten fire beast or the secrets beyond the stars, they're still too distant.

The only thing I can do is keep growing stronger—strong enough to handle any emergency!"

Feeling the power surging through his muscles and the terrifying Lei Ting he could summon at will, Xu Jingming quickly regained his resolve.

Big Eva, watching this, nodded slightly.

Ordinary psychics hearing such a hopeless message would surely panic.

The fact that he recovered his calm so quickly proves Xu Jingming's will is extremely firm, nearly unshakable.

"Don't worry too much about S-Class, Xu Jingming. According to records from the First and Second Civilization Eras,

the molten fire beast appeared over four hundred years after the resurgence of Yuan Energy.

It's only been two hundred years so far—there's still plenty of time.

I believe with your S-Class talent, in two hundred years, you'll definitely beat that molten fire beast into the dirt!"

From his smart band came Xiao Eva's encouraging voice.

"Two hundred years?" Xu Jingming's eyebrows lifted slightly.

From the moment he transmigrated to this world until now, all things considered, it had only been 15 months.

Yet he had already grown from an ordinary Awakener into a Tier-5 mid-rank Ability User.

His combat power was even comparable to a Tier-7 lower-rank Grandmaster; two hundred years was indeed plenty of time.

But then again, it wasn't certain — what if the Molten Fire Beast descended early?

Therefore, he still had to seize every moment to raise his strength.

"The cause of my Jin Nation's destruction is just this. Does my lord the Administrator have any other questions?"

With a wave of her jade-like hand, the holographic projection vanished, and Da Yiwa asked softly.

"Nothing else."

Xu Jingming slowly exhaled a breath of stale air.

The volume of information he had just received was truly enormous; once he returned, he would still need to digest it properly.

"That's fine then."

Da Yiwa gave a slight nod, and her ethereal voice rang out:

"Little Yiwa also has a related database over there. If there's anything you want to understand later, you can ask her as well.

The switch for the main control room's main door is by the door — just press it and you can go out directly."

"Understood."

Xu Jingming nodded, looked at Da Yiwa floating in mid-air, lonely yet beautiful, and could not help but hesitate:

"What about you? Just staying here all the time? If it's possible, I could take you out with me."

Both Da Yiwa and Little Yiwa were intelligent lifeforms.

Little Yiwa had only been at Mo Da for a little over a hundred and fifty years before she already felt bored.

Da Yiwa had been here for over two thousand years — it was hard to imagine what kind of loneliness that was.

"I am the captain of the Hope, already merged into one with the Hope; there's no way for me to leave alone."

Da Yiwa shook her head slightly, then turned a pair of beautiful big eyes toward him:

"If you want to take me away, you have to take the entire Hope along with you.

However, what I need to warn you of in advance is that this place has always been watched by the Supreme Ones.

Once anything unusual happens with the Hope, you will be discovered."

"Uh... well then, sorry to bother you."

Xu Jingming gave a dry cough and quickly shook his head.

Don't be ridiculous — a Supreme One could probably crush him to death with a single glance!

Now was not yet the time to take Da Yiwa away. Wait until he had the capital to bargain with a Supreme One, then coming back wouldn't be too late...
