Chapter 83

All living beings in the universe began to discuss; terms like ascension, Void Realm, psionic, and psionic power made them think of the Calamity Empire.

"The first race to ascend to the Void Realm..."

Looking at the text on the light screen, Lord Fu Xuan couldn't help but mutter to herself in a low voice,

the word "first" was very thought-provoking,

it was just the first race to ascend to the Void Realm, not the last, nor the only race to ascend to the Void Realm,

this indicated that after the Zro, there were likely more races that ascended in the Void Realm,

and after completing the Void Realm ascension, one could...

"Establishing divinity in the Void Realm... as long as one ascends to reach the Void Realm, can one become a god?"

Thinking of this, cold sweat flowed slightly down Lord Fu Xuan's forehead,

Lord Fu Xuan didn't know how many civilizations completed the feat of ascending to the Void Realm after the Zro,

but she could be almost certain that the Calamity Empire was one of them,

"Did they also complete the feat of establishing divinity in the Void Realm... or did they go even further?"

Thinking of this, Lord Fu Xuan couldn't help but look at the light screen, wanting to see what exactly this so-called Void Realm ascension was all about.

Just then, the scene on the light screen changed,

and what was presented on the light screen was a planet floating lonely in the void,

this planet was covered with magnificent cities, high-rise buildings standing in great numbers, and the eaves and arches were full of jade palaces,

making one feel, just by looking from the orbit, how exquisite the craftsmanship of the race that built this city was.

However, such a colony had been abandoned.

【"Curious."】

【"From the observation results from the orbit, there are no obvious signs that a disaster occurred here, leading to a large number of residents dying or evacuating."】

【"Perhaps this is one of the Pioneer ruins we are looking for."】

【"If we want to find the answer, a ground investigation operation is imperative."】

On the light screen, the voice of the Calamity Empire's research array sounded,

and the Calamity Empire's research ship slowly landed on this planet,

as the perspective fell onto this planet, people felt how exquisite and magnificent this colony was built,

the towering, twisting buildings seemed not to conform to Euclidean geometry, full of splendor and beauty that did not belong to reality,

just by taking one look, one could feel the mysterious charm and hidden madness within.

But what made all living beings in the universe feel even stranger was,

this strange colony had no signs of damage other than being poorly managed,

residences, factories, and buildings of unknown use were all intact,

it was just that everything around was empty and uninhabited,

as if the residents of this colony had evaporated at the same time.

"This?! Where did the people go? Why is it so scary?"

"Could it be that they were bombarded by neutron annihilation?"

"Impossible, even if they were bombarded by neutron annihilation, what about the people who occupied this planet? Why did they disappear too?"

All living beings in the universe discussed endlessly, and their curiosity about this abandoned colony grew heavier and heavier.

Looking at the scene on the light screen, Sunday couldn't help but frown,

under what circumstances would a race abandon their colony?

Sunday couldn't think of it,

he only knew that many people had abandoned their original homes, choosing to go to Penacony and sink into the world of dreams.

Could it be that...

A possibility surfaced in Sunday's mind,

could it be that the race that owned this colony found a "land of dreams" that the entire race yearned for, and then the entire race migrated into it?

But why were there no signs of evacuation?

Sunday felt confused and could only cast his gaze back onto the light screen,

watching the Calamity Empire's exploration team, as if they knew where to find clues, walking toward a towering spire in the center of the city,

this high tower seemed to be the administrative center of this colony,

but other things inside had been cleared out,

leaving only a huge crystal obelisk standing in the center of the building,

this crystal obelisk was cut in an extremely delicate way, and every thread had been shaped by some extraordinary power,

the sunlight piercing through the spire flowed along this crystal, and it seemed as if countless souls were whispering some kind of mourning music within.

This seemed like a tombstone for the entire colony, and even the entire race.

All living beings in the universe watching this scene widened their eyes slightly,

shocked by the sorrow and beauty it revealed.

"What is this?! Is it some kind of tombstone?"

"There are no words carved on this crystal either? Is it what the Calamity Empire is looking for?"

"Looking at their reaction, it really is."

The Calamity Empire exploration team on the light screen began to act, and the voice of the research array also sounded at this time,

【"In this administrative center of the colony, we found a giant crystal obelisk."】

【"We are familiar with this; although the appearance is different from what the Empire uses, this is undoubtedly a psionic archive."】

【"It contains powerful psionic energy, but our psionicists can still easily read the content within."】

On the light screen, the Calamity Empire's psionicist walked toward this obelisk,

and they reached out toward the obelisk; a ripple surged in the crystal, and the brilliant light illuminated the entire spire.

【"Yes, as we expected, this is a Zro colony."】

【"According to the records on it, we have further understood this Pioneer race."】

The voice of the research array sounded on the light screen, reporting their findings to the Emperor of the Calamity Empire:

【"They were also a race with psionic talent, and they discovered the domain we call the 'Void Realm'."】

【"We can be sure that the six Void Realm gods we are already familiar with were still sleeping in the Void Realm in some pure energy form, and a large number of Void Realm entities generated by reflecting reality had not yet appeared; the Void Realm at this time was primitive and gentle."】

【"When the Zro's psionic population expanded to a threshold, their collective consciousness began to intersect with the primitive Void Realm in dreams, which caused the Zro's dreams to become clear, strange, and possess some kind of prophetic ability."】

【"Soon, the Zro began to study this strange phenomenon and discovered a method to project themselves into the Void Realm using psionic energy."】

As the voice of the research array slowly narrated,

the scene on the light screen also quietly changed,

and psionic flames erupted from the eyes of countless Zro people, reflecting the scene of the Void Realm in the flames,

the Void Realm at that time was gentle and harmonious, unlike the Void Realm full of surging and chaotic Void Realm entities seen by the Calamity Empire.

"This... why is the primitive Void Realm seen by the Zro so different from the Calamity Empire era?"

"Could it be that the Zro did something?"

"Such a Void Realm is almost equivalent to a gentle ocean with infinite energy!"

All living beings in the universe looked at this scene and couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

"Zro, how nostalgic."

In a fragment of the Void Realm, within the cage of the End of the Cycle,

the petite and lovely End of the Cycle was hanging in it like a little bird pierced by iron chains,

Zhou Xuan was leaning on an armchair beside her, reading a paper book,

the End of the Cycle glanced at Zhou Xuan and found that the title of this book was "In Honkai, My Star Calamity Identity Was Exposed! (Outline)".

Seeing that Zhou Xuan didn't pay attention to her, the End of the Cycle curled her lips, vibrated her wings, flew to Zhou Xuan's side, and spoke to herself:

"Many civilizations mistakenly believe that the Zro led to our birth."

"But this is a misunderstanding; we were born when all worlds were moving forward, and the past, future, and present exist simultaneously."

"We are a sea area of the Void Realm, a part of the vast energy of the Void Realm; we are the Void Realm itself."

"We were originally neither good nor evil, without tendencies or desires, just gods that existed."

The End of the Cycle circled to the front of Zhou Xuan, looked at Zhou Xuan, and said:

"But the Void Realm reflects the reality of countless multiverses, and reality stirred up ripples in the Void Realm." ===== CHAPTER 84 =====
