"I am Star God Knight Modrix. Who are you? Why did you kill my mount?" the human Starborn asked indignantly.

"Wait a minute, that snake-like Star God is your mount?" Anthony asked.

Modrix said: "Yes."

"You are a human, right? That Star God is your mount? It can obey your driving?" Anthony asked suspiciously.

Modrix said proudly: "Of course, I am the strongest Star God Knight in the Void, and Dodo is my partner."

Negris couldn't help but be mouthy: "Strongest Star God Knight? But your mount is dead. What are you riding?"

"You—" Modrix was furious, and then immediately looked at Anthony suspiciously, because Negris's voice was clearly different from Anthony's, and he didn't have the ability to distinguish different consciousnesses on the cluster.

Anthony's body protruded Negris's old face: "What are you looking at? I am the strongest mount in the Void. Where is your mount?"

Oh—Anthony and the others realized in realization. No wonder Negris wanted to mock him. It turned out that it was substituting itself into the identity of a mount. It was rare for it to have self-knowledge; it was Ang's mount.

"Alright, alright, let's not talk about this first. Your mount wasn't hacked to death by us, but by another ghost," Anthony said.

This Modrix had clearly been beaten into confusion and actually confused them with another cluster ghost. He wouldn't take this blame.

"There... there is another one?" Modrix was shocked.

"Yes, we don't know it. It killed your mount and searched its soul, probably to collect information about this place. Tell us, what is your situation? And what is the situation here?" Anthony asked.

"Humph, you are all the same kind of goods, wanting to extract information from me? Dreaming!" Modrix said angrily.

Anthony was stunned and looked at Negris's protruding face: "Do you not know your current situation? Then let you try endless sinking. Sinking endlessly in the darkness, until decades later..."

Following Anthony's words, Modrix's eyes lost focus, and his form shrank back into the white crystal.

After a few minutes, Anthony waved his hand: "Wake up."

As soon as the words fell, a human face struggled crazily out of the white crystal, screaming and roaring desperately, struggling to drill out of the white crystal, and condensed into Modrix's form.

As if experiencing some terrifying thing, Modrix's eyes lost focus, and he kept touching his face and form.

Touching and touching, he might have discovered that his form was complete, and his eyes began to clear. He looked up and down, left and right, and finally focused on Anthony, and then trembled all over as if seeing a ghost.

Negris asked in shock in a low voice: "What did you do to him? Why does he look like he saw a ghost?"

"Endless sinking. You know about Soul Prison, right? It's a bit better than Soul Prison... uh, not really better, because I added some ingredients. He will instantly lose all sensory abilities, his consciousness will fall into a silent, pitch-black world, and he won't be able to sense any information from the outside world. In this state, he can't know the length of time. Even if only a few minutes have passed, he can feel as long as decades," Anthony explained.

Negris was surprised: "You threw him into a world without light or sound for decades?"

Anthony nodded: "You can say that."

"Then it's not as good as throwing him into Soul Prison. At least in Soul Prison, you can sense the passage of time when enduring pain. This won't collapse in a short while. If it really feels like decades have passed, then he is very strong for not going crazy yet. No wonder you said 'not really better'," Negris mocked.

A void, dark world is probably more torturous than Soul Prison, because you don't know what happened outside, don't know how long has passed, and can't sense the passage of time. Staying for a long time, it's easy to go crazy.

The Star Academy has a quiet room for learning sound arcana, which is very quiet, so quiet that you can hear the sound of your own blood flowing. No one has ever been able to stay in it for a whole day, not even a Truth Mage.

Ordinary people go crazy after staying for four or five hours. And the scene Anthony described is tens of thousands of times more terrifying than such a quiet room. It's hard for Modrix to be able to hold on.

Of course, it was mainly because the time was short. Anthony added ingredients to him, just making him 'feel' that the time was long, as if decades had passed, but in reality, it was only a few minutes.

But this was enough to crush Modrix. After condensing his form again, his expression was clearly no longer arrogant, but timid, as if he had just been humiliated.

Realizing that one thought from Anthony could make him sink endlessly into darkness, Modrix became much more obedient, answering every question, and soon explained his situation clearly.

This is a world very similar to the Divine Light Alliance, with many planes, humans occupy the dominant position, and there are many different life races living in major planes.

Various planes are connected through airships and teleportation arrays, and even strong creatures can enter the Void for a short time, just like the Divine Light Alliance back then.

But unlike the Divine Light Alliance, the God Star here has aged, and there is no Guman Snake to restrain it, which leads to two problems.

One, Starborns and life races live together. Two, the status of Starborns has declined.

The God Star has already aged, so the increments produced will be very few, and the number of Starborns is difficult to increase.

The number no longer increases, and Starborns have entered the era of stock. If one dies, there is one less. So they won't fight with others at will.

Because there is no restraint from the Guman Snake, Starborns live with life races. Starborns who dare not fight with people at will have developed a new way of coexisting with life races—Symbiotic Knights.

Through the method of white crystal processing, another layer of white crystal is wrapped on the surface of the white crystal, and then inscriptions are carved on the outer white crystal, creating a symbiotic state of one white crystal and two consciousnesses.

Then, children with the strongest mental power are selected and trained from childhood until they can project their consciousness onto the outer layer of the white crystal. Two consciousnesses use one body at the same time, and can even condense forms with different functions for their own use.

Originally, everyone lived in harmony. I don't know why the God Star suddenly went crazy and sent out a very terrifying tremor to the Void. All planes were trembling last week.

Ursman interjected: "He should be referring to the spatial tremor. It's close here, so they can feel the spatial tremor."

It's not just feeling it, it's deafening. From that moment on, everyone started preparing to escape.

Fortunately, they were prepared. Dozens of days later, the God Star suddenly turned into a pitch-black abyss and produced a huge suction force, sucking all the planes around it in.

Only those who were prepared and possessed Star God mounts managed to escape.

"Then do you know why the God Star suddenly wanted to collapse into an abyss? Was he stimulated by something?" Anthony asked.
