Chapter 63

【"Our eternity, our memories... If we are the blood, then that is our heart."】

Beings across the universe gazed at the text on the light screen, momentarily stunned.

The scene within the light screen shifted, transforming into a throne shaped like a giant cross, composed of hyper-dimensional crystals and suspended in the Grand Void.

This throne was as massive as a star, with slender filaments flowing through the blue-purple hyper-dimensional crystals upon it, as if condensed from space-time itself.

【Star Realm Filaments: Fine threads condensed from space-time, the product of collisions between different dimensional planes.】

Hyper-dimensional ports, star realms, space-time, dimensions—various terms surpassing the understanding of all beings in the universe flooded their minds.

This made the beings across the universe widen their eyes in shock, yet they found it impossible to comprehend.

They had originally assumed the Calamity Empire achieved eternity through some form of biological modification.

But judging by the text on the light screen, the Calamity Empire seemed to have achieved true eternity through some form of dimensional science.

"So that's how it is."

Herta gnawed on her finger as she spoke:

"If my guess is correct, the Calamity Empire has indeed achieved true immortality."

"Just as the Aether Dragon is essentially a fragment of the previous universe, a product of another set of physical laws."

"All humans of the Calamity Empire are also part of another reality, adapted to a different set of physical laws."

"Although they move within the universe, their essence actually exists within another reality."

"Oh?"

Ruan Mei, standing beside Herta, cast a curious glance:

"Then what does this have to do with eternal life?"

"As you know, I am more proficient in creation biology than in this obscure and mysterious dimensional science."

Outside the window, the cluster of stars flowed like water; inside, Heta pondered for a moment...

"I am only making a half-understood guess myself."

Herta shook her head and said:

"Humans who have come into contact with the 'Wang Zuo of Eternity'—their essence... or to speak more idealistically, their souls—have been transferred to another reality."

"This reality lacks concepts such as death, fear, or endings; it is an absolute utopia."

"Therefore, the humans of the Calamity Empire do not die; death simply does not exist in their reality."

"It is like how fire does not exist in the world of fish."

"An absolute utopia that will never die, never know terror, and never face an ending?" A strange light flickered in Ruan Mei's eyes.

"A reality where fear, miracles, death, or endings do not exist."

In Penacony, Sunday chewed over this passage of text appearing on the light screen.

The Calamity Empire possessed a relic known as the 'Wang Zuo of Eternity'.

This 'Wang Zuo of Eternity' led to an absolute utopia devoid of fear, miracles, death, and endings.

Humans who touched the 'Wang Zuo of Eternity' would no longer face death, nor would they be shrouded by fear.

Was this not the utopia Sunday sought?

Was this not the utopia he and his sister had vowed since childhood to bring into reality?

And the Calamity Empire had actually already created it.

Even the utopia forged by the Calamity Empire was more perfect and vast than the one he dreamed of.

Gazing at the scene within the light screen,

Sunday understood that every human in the Calamity Empire had likely touched the Wang Zuo of Eternity, acquiring the trait of immortality.

Their essence resided in another perfect reality, where they would never die and never face an ending.

This even made Sunday feel somewhat envious.

The world he had dreamed of for so long had actually been realized by others in a better way.

"If only I could obtain a fragment of the 'Wang Zuo of Eternity'..."

This thought suddenly sprang up in Sunday's mind.

On the Luo Fu Luo Fu Xianzhou, within the Divination Commission,

Hearing Jing Yuan, who was watching this scene, let out a slight sigh.

The terror of the Calamity Empire was once again displayed before his eyes.

The Cloud Knights of the Luo Fu Luo Fu Xianzhou held a renowned reputation across the universe.

This was precisely because every Cloud Knight was either a Luo Fu Xianzhou native with a long lifespan and physique, a Foxian with keen senses and an agile body, or a Vidyadhara capable of constantly molting their scales to be reborn.

These long-life species constituted the Luo Fu Xianzhou's powerful army; both their experience and combat prowess held immense advantages over other short-life species.

But now, such advantages were utterly insignificant when faced with the humans of the Calamity Empire.

The Cloud Knights could still be killed by blades and spears; they could die and be injured.

Yet the army of the Calamity Empire, having attained immortality, would simply never die and never be injured.

They were an undying and indestructible army.

In Hearing Jing Yuan's mind, he truly could not conceive of how to defeat such an army.

"Undying and indestructible eternal life?"

Hearing Jing Yuan slightly raised his head, his gaze faintly reflecting the figure of the Divine General.

Between him and the Divine General ran a thread of destiny invisible to others.

Behind the Divine General, another thread connected to the Arbiter-General far in the distance.

Hearing Jing Yuan vaguely saw the figure of the Arbiter-General; after a soft sigh, he murmured:

"Arbiter, does the immortality of the Calamity Empire also fall within the scope of your Hunt?"

"Immortality... Just one touch, and one can stay far from death..."

Her slender toes brushed across the pool's surface, the cool sensation giving Firefly a stronger sense of being alive.

According to the Glamoth Iron Cavalry's military regulations, Cavalry members cannot arbitrarily leave their cockpits.

Moreover, Firefly's body could no longer endure staying outside the cockpit for long periods...

But Glamoth had already fallen, and even if she couldn't leave the cockpit for long,

Firefly still wished to cherish every moment and savor the feeling of life.

"Immortality is far, far too long..."

Gazing at the brilliant stars in the sky, Firefly murmured softly:

"I only desire a brief life, just like any normal person."

"If a game can't be finished and the character dies, wouldn't that feel terrible?"

Just as Firefly was watching the stars, a slightly milky-scented youthful voice sounded from behind her.

Silver Wolf stood behind her, holding a handheld game console in one hand.

"Game?" Firefly tilted her head slightly.

"Of course it's a game; have you forgotten what I told you?"

Silver Wolf waved her hand and sat down beside Firefly:

"This universe is merely a super grand game; we are all players within it, and also characters within it."

"If I die before I've played enough, it will be very unpleasant."

"But if I keep playing forever, I might eventually get bored too."

Firefly couldn't help but laugh aloud; the people of Punklorde viewing the entire world as one big game, this unique perspective struck her as quite interesting.

"Then do you think the humans of the Calamity Empire would get bored? Facing nearly infinite life..."

·· ··Seeking flowers·· 0

"No."

Silver Wolf took a piece of bubblegum from her pocket, popped it into her mouth, and said:

"Since They chose eternal life, it means They believe this game can be played for a very, very long time before being cleared."

"I'm truly curious: what is Their goal? What kind of good ending do They wish to achieve..."

"... I also want to join in and play along..."

"Pfft..." Firefly couldn't help but laugh aloud.
