A crystal sac located higher up in the specimen library also slowly lit up with starlight-like light.

The figure hanging upside down inside was exceptionally tall, surrounded by countless tiny light spots, like a compressed star field.

Whenever he moved slightly, those light spots would rearrange, forming different constellation patterns.

"It seems that everyone has felt that kind of... subtle call."

His voice was like the harmonious melody of celestial movement, carrying a deep charm that spanned countless years.

While speaking, the space of the entire specimen library produced subtle resonance, as if the universe itself was listening attentively.

This was "Star of the Zenith" Perust, active in the early Third Era, the last Great Wizard to master complete star-image spells.

His phantom could sense the most subtle changes in the universe and could even predict the fate trajectories of distant star systems.

"This should be a sign of... restart?" In Perust's star field, certain stars began to flicker abnormally:

"I have felt the waves in the long river of time; those great ones... are indeed planning something."

As soon as his words fell, more ancient existences who had never participated in the discussion before began to wake up.

The sac room of "Recorder" Gu Gu Gu Erde emitted a stable blue light.

His phantom was a mobile library, with countless scrolls rotating around the core consciousness, each recording his life's knowledge accumulation.

The content of these books would be automatically updated as needed.

"According to my historical data analysis..."

Gu Gu Gu Erde's voice was very hoarse, carrying the rigor and caution typical of a historian:

"The current level of civilization development is far from reaching the critical point requiring a restart. This kind of early warning signal is extremely rare in history."

Among the scrolls rotating around this Great Wizard, several opened automatically, displaying dense data analysis:

"Although the conquest policy is radical, compared to the real disasters in history, the scale and impact are relatively limited.

Cassandra's alienation degree is also within a controllable range, not enough to trigger a civilization-level collapse."

The professional analysis made other upside-down figures fall into deep thought.

If even a history expert like Gu Gu Gu Erde could not explain the current situation.

Then the complexity of the matter might exceed everyone's imagination.

"Let us review history first."

Subsequently, Recorder Gu Gu Gu Erde recounted the "Eleventh Great Restart—Knowledge Cancer Era":

"Those scholars obsessed with absolute knowledge..." His scrolls began to manifest the records of that era:

"Created the 'Web of Omniscience,' attempting to record and analyze all information."

"Initially, it indeed brought unprecedented prosperity, but after the knowledge system reached a certain level, it automatically began to produce 'knowledge pollution'—false information mixed with real knowledge, and the entire civilization fell into cognitive chaos."

Gu Gu Gu Erde's voice became melancholy:

"People forgot what was real and what was false. Language lost its communication function, and civilization self-destructed in complete chaos."

Another Great Wizard, "Light Snake" Lafatis, followed closely and mentioned a more recent disaster:

"Sixteenth Restart—Abyss Infection."

His multiple time fragments began to overlap, showing that bloody era.

In those overlapping images, one could see the terrifying scene when abyss power reached its peak.

"Twenty-five supreme apostles existed simultaneously, and even 'Mother' woke up..."

All of Lafatis's time fragments simultaneously displayed complex expressions—awe, fear, and a hint of indescribable worship.

"But just as the abyss was about to completely devour reality, the 'Evil Hunter' was born.

That existence mastered three completely different power systems simultaneously and had absolute restraint ability against the abyss..."

In the image, a blurred figure walked alone under the blood-red sky, and wherever he passed, countless abyss creatures fell like wheat being harvested.

"Eight supreme apostles died in his hands, the abyss system was almost completely cleansed, and even 'Mother' was forced to fall back into slumber..."

Lafatis's voice became complex and contradictory:

"But in the end, his triple power system produced a fatal conflict, and he fell apart under 'Mother's' final blow.

That restart was passive, because the final showdown between the abyss and the Evil Hunter almost tore the entire reality structure apart."

With these historical reviews, the atmosphere in the specimen library became exceptionally heavy.

These real doomsday scenes made every upside-down figure present feel deeply shocked.

Even for ancient existences like them who had seen much, the scale and destructive power of those disasters were still shuddering.

"Compared to these..." Curse Master Mondragon said slowly with his twisted voice, carrying a sense of disapproval:

"Cassandra's crazy conquest, and even the route disputes of the entire civilization, can only be considered... insignificant ripples."

"Indeed." Gu Gu Gu Erde agreed, the scrolls around him displaying current data analysis:

"Although the conquest faction is radical, the traditional faction still has considerable influence; although the abyss is active, it is far from out of control; the overall stability is still within an acceptable range."

He paused, his voice carrying confusion:

"But this is precisely the most puzzling part. If the current situation is indeed stable, then how to explain this collective early warning phenomenon?"

The discussion began to become more intense, and various speculations and analyses intertwined in the specimen library.

Some upside-down figures believed that this might be a deterrent strategy of the great ones, constraining all forces by releasing restart signals;

Some suspected the existence of hidden threats they didn't know about;

Others worried that this was a manifestation of internal divisions among the great ones.

The arguments echoed in the specimen library, and various phantom energies began to interfere with each other, making the entire space unstable.

The sac fluid in the crystal sacs began to fluctuate violently, and some smaller sac rooms even showed fine cracks.

Just as the discussion was about to turn into chaos, a powerful and suffocating pressure came from the deepest part of the specimen library.

That kind of pressure was like the weight of the entire universe pressing on everyone, instantly suppressing all sounds and energy fluctuations.

Three huge crystal sacs began to glow; they were located at the highest point of the specimen library, and their size was more than ten times that of ordinary sac rooms.

The material of these sac rooms was also clearly different, made of some kind of translucent starlight crystal, with colorful light bands like auroras flowing on the surface.

These were the most ancient existences of the Second Era, the most senior upside-down figures in the Court of Truth, all of whom were top-tier Great Wizards.

In the first sac room was "Brain of Nothingness" Drake.

His phantom was an eerie giant brain.

Inside it flickered countless star-like light spots, each containing unimaginable knowledge.

In his transparent brain structure, countless fragments changed constantly like a kaleidoscope.

In the second sac room was "Reality Giant Web" Oberon.

His phantom was like a constantly weaving web, each thread representing a rule fragment.

When he moved slightly, the spatial structure of the entire specimen library would produce corresponding changes.

In the third sac room was "Root of Existence" Atlas.

His phantom was a huge tree of concepts, its root system deeply planted in the most basic level of existence.

On the branches hung various shapes of "fruits," each representing a possibility of existence.

When these three ancient existences woke up simultaneously, the entire specimen library trembled under their pressure.

Those upside-down figures who were still arguing intensely just now instantly fell into absolute silence, and even their breathing became cautious.

"……Noisy little ones."

Drake's voice was like the flowing sound of the long river of time, each syllable carrying the endless weight of years.

"Your worries... are not entirely redundant."

In his transparent brain, a complete picture of the current timeline was projected.

It was a multi-dimensional picture that was dazzlingly complex, with every detail changing constantly.

"There is indeed a 'readjustment' coming, but the scale and impact... are extremely limited."

"Readjustment?" Gu Gu Gu Erde asked cautiously, his voice carrying obvious tension.

"Yes." Reality Giant Web Oberon's voice had the rhythm of a loom running:

"Not a comprehensive reality reconstruction, just a targeted correction for some... specific problems."

His weaving web showed the specific scope of the adjustment, which were some areas that were not particularly wide.

But even these limited adjustments had enough influence to change the fate of countless existences.

"Mainly targeting the excessive expansion trend of the conquest faction, as well as the uncertain influence of some heterogeneous factors."

Oberon continued: "But the core structure of civilization will be preserved, and most existences will continue."
