Chapter 42: The Soul of Nothingness II (7400, 2nd Update)

Subspace is the other side of the normal universe.

It is not the shadow of the world composed of the free aura of the universe like the spirit world, a film covering the normal universe, and the subspace is another twin universe that coexists with the normal universe - a universe based on information and emotions, but not without substance.

Just as in the material universe, life can use matter and aura to weave all kinds of information and give birth to all kinds of emotions, so in the universe of information, it can also use information and spiritual energy to weave all kinds of material entities.

In other words, in subspace, the 'Void Creation' will become much simpler.

Many of the civilization's superstructures, star-level, and even galaxy-level behemoths were completed in subspace.

For example, the home galaxy of the Trade Alliance was moved to subspace by the Trade Alliance, where many alliance powerhouses transformed the galaxy into an iron bucket-like interstellar fortress, which may have taken hundreds of years in the real universe, and only took one year and nine months in subspace.

However, with this kind of convenience, the subspace was also greatly affected when facing the severance of aura.

Let's say that the life of a normal universe, in the age of spiritlessness, is nothing more than having no soul and no way to cultivate transcendence.

Then the native life of the subspace, when there is no aura, cannot have a physical body that can affect the material world, let alone change everything in the subspace.

One is nothing more than that there is no way to play with fire, and the other is that he can't move, so he can only be a bystander.

But even so, many powerful civilizations still moved their core star fields to subspace - after all, whether there is an aura or not, this is a very good means of protection.

All changes in the material universe cannot affect the interior of the subspace, and even if a supernova explodes, it is impossible to break the diaphragm of the universe.

And when the former Order of the Void found the remnants of an ancient pioneer civilization in the subspace wasteland at the edge of the galaxy, even the weakest leaders of the Order of the Void were shocked.

Because here they saw the supreme creation left behind by the ancient civilization that sealed the 'Final Town Seal' in the past.

A 'living star' so big that it transcends common sense.

There are always many magnificent landscapes beyond the phenomena of life in the starry sky of the universe, whether it is a shining nebula, different stars, strange but inexplicably balanced information structures, even a galaxy composed of many stars, can give countless civilizations and artists immeasurable inspiration, those magnificent scenery always inspire generations of life to open up the starry sky.

But things that are too grandiose sometimes can't be understood at all, but can make people's brains shut down and confused.

It's like the Star Eater back then.

Cloyat followed the fleet of the Order of Nothingness as he navigated the subspace, sensing something was wrong in the middle of his journey, as the space in front of him collapsed straight down, like a giant black hole hiding there.

But it wasn't a black hole, the extremely dazzling white light pierced the fog that had been permeating the subspace for many years—the aura was represented as a physical entity in the subspace, and it was also the basic unit of the physical structure of many subspace creatures—and as many of the Dusk Clans opened their observation organs, a huge star, far exceeding the size of any normal cosmic star, appeared in front of them.

Nine billion kilometers.

The radius of this living star is 9 billion kilometers.

The blazing white astral body expanded endlessly in front of the many powerhouses of the Order of the Void.

No matter how much the Twilight Fleet watched the celestial body, it seemed that it would not be able to reach Him.

Looking up, there is a brilliant spiritual light with no end in sight, and the deep darkness of the subspace is also completely illuminated, spreading into the infinite distance.

Looking down, there is also no end, even the space is distorted by the concave mirror phenomenon, all the light is shrinking in that direction, like a deep well cast by light, pulling people forward.

All perceptions, all thoughts, all horizons, are all occupied by this star, and even if you look back, because of the distortion of space, you can see that brilliant light spreading, as if to embrace everyone.

How could such a huge star exist in this universe?

The radius of the sun is 700,000 kilometers.

And this star is 9 billion kilometers.

In other words, its radius is sixty astronomical units.

It takes 30,000 seconds, 500 minutes, eight and a half hours for light to travel from His core to the outer layer.

If he were to replace the sun, even Pluto, the former ninth planet farthest from the sun, would be engulfed by this star, which would be only thirty-nine astronomical units from the sun.

In other words, it's bigger than the entire actual solar system...... Moreover, it is not a red giant, but a real supergiant star.

The volume is 21 billion times that of the sun.

One fifth of the Milky Way.

Such stars, even if they collapse into black holes, are far beyond the great black holes with galactic hearts, and there are only a handful of black holes in the observable universe with higher masses, even the supergiant stars at the beginning of the universe are difficult to match him.

【…… Sect leader, you called me here just to eat, to eat this star? 】

When the Star Eater reacted, a ridiculous thought in his heart: "I am worthy to eat Him? The Star Eater devours the star, it is nothing more than absorbing the core material and spiritual energy source of the star, even if it is a small star, a complete star eater like me can eat thousands, or even tens of thousands of years! (Here are the measurements of other civilizations, but all subsequent measurements will be calculated according to the Earth standard)]

[And this star, I'm afraid I will overeat, eat half and throw half, and I will also eat until the end of the universe! 】

[Not to mention......]

Saying this, Cloyat looked at the 'food' in front of him in awe, like an ant looking up at the giant of the sugar mountain: "This star...... It's alive! 】

[Indeed.] And that gentle voice sounded, with a smile: [But don't worry, his so-called life is nothing more than controlling his own energy, constructing a sealing formation, locking this subspace, and even the 'rift' in the real universe...... It has to be said that the ancient ancestral civilization did have unique features in technology, and they really put a lot of thought into alleviating the arrival of the 'last hour'. 】

[Don't worry too much, although this star looks very large, in fact, it exists in more than 800,000 worlds at the same time - the ancestral civilization used the ability of the 'Final Seal of the Town' to connect countless other universes to design such a superstar that exists in the heavens and all worlds at the same time, which is why they can build such a behemoth with a mass close to one-fifth of the Milky Way without leaving the Milky Way. 】

[And the purpose of His existence is to 'plug the gap.'] 】

[Gap? Could it be that it is those space-time rifts that crisscross the universe......] Hearing this, even the Star Eaters understood a little, and Cloat couldn't help but recall that since his birth, he has been existing in the outer layers of this universe and has become the cosmic rift of common sense of all life.

And the gentle voice, known as the being of the Void Order, also calmly replied: "Yes. Legend has it that in the first pastoral era of the universe, the space-time rift did not appear, and all civilizations had almost unlimited resource exploitation, and there was no desire to fight each other at all. 】

[Until one day, the universe shattered, and our universe burst into countless terrible cracks as if it had been hammered with a hammer—and at that moment, there were fragments of the universe, which was our goal this time, falling from the root and being acquired by some civilizations. 】

['The Seal of the Finale', that is the original and most powerful fragment, its ability to connect countless other worlds as you can see, and it can also 'seal' anything you want. 】

[Just like this living star, it did not collapse into a black hole, just because the 'Final Seal' sealed the process of its internal collapse, a powerful force solidified the movement of matter inside this living star, and only the information unique to subspace was transmitted so that he did not even freeze his thoughts, but could maintain the existence of the seal according to instinct until the end of the universe. 】

At this point, the voice of the Void Sect leader gradually became deeper: [In order to fight for it, the cosmic civilizations of the ancient era competed with each other and launched a great war to tear apart the galaxy...... And the galaxy where we are located is one of the battlefields of that great war. In fact, the entire Laniakea Supercluster (the Earth, the Milky Way, and the supermassive cluster of galaxies in the Virgo supercluster) was the battlefield of that war. 】

[This war for the fragments of the universe has even further widened the 'rift' - only then did all civilizations suddenly realize that their war had made the entire universe precarious, and a huge rift had appeared in the real universe because of the actions of some being that overflowed from the rift. 】

[If the universe is a huge bubble, then the crack that appears in the galaxy is a hole in this bubble, if it is left alone, then the hole will expand, tearing the entire bubble apart - in order to prevent the rift from expanding, many civilizations reconciled, and used the seal of the end that they fought for to seal the gap. 】

Lowering his head, in Cleat's memory, the Sect Leader, who had lost his image, 'patted' the head of the Star Eater, and he said gently: [And those beings who create gaps are the predecessors of our Void Order. They intend to destroy this universe, and that is what we are aiming for. 】

[For, why?] Why destroy the universe? 】

Shocked by these distant pre-history, Cloyat felt his own insignificance for the first time......

Yes, if the entire universe is considered as a planet, then what is the difference between the Star Eater, who is nothing more than devouring stars and transferring energy, and the mold in the soil? Their lifelong devouring and then self-terminating behavior is like a porter in a sense, an insignificant part of a larger circular structure.

[Why destroy the universe? 】

Repeating the Stareater's question, the Sect Leader chuckled and said, "Because it is clear that beyond the universe, there is an existence that is even larger than the universe, and can even cause the universe to burst into cracks. 】

[Compared to Him, the universe is nothing more than meaningless crumbs...... If you want to touch the truth for yourself, you have to get out of this meaningless crumb and go to the 'other side'. 】

Although Chloart felt that what the other party said was very right, he still had many doubts: [But Sect Master, who can be sure that the existence that shattered the universe is the greatest significance? 】

If there is a greater being than Him, is it not that He is also a meaningless crumb? 】

[Then continue to chase the greater meaning.] There was no wavering in the Sect Head's tone.

[But if you chase it endlessly like this, isn't it, isn't it very 'nothing'?! 】

So confused.

Then, the Star Eater sensed six pairs of eyes that shone brightly.

He looked at the giant beast that devoured the star, but the other party fell down in fear, not daring to look directly.

The solemn voice of the Patriarch of Nothingness echoed in the depths of Cloat's soul.

Therefore, nothingness is the truth. 】

The memories of the Star Eater began to blur here.

It can only be seen that the Star Eater, with the support of the entire Void Order, used all his strength to urge his star-devouring instinct, intending to break through the sealing shell of the living star with a mass of 20 billion times the sun and obtain the 'Final Seal'.

But obviously, this operation failed, Iloart's strength is indeed extraordinary, and with full strength, it does indeed have the power to temporarily compete with the Perfect World Taihao God Emperor.

But even so, even the instinctive stance of the living star could not be broken, but only created layers of vague ripples like snowflakes.

At this point, the Void Order could only regretfully leave that subspace, and arranged various settings around that subspace, waiting for the distant future, when they had enough strength to continue to explore.

Then there is the blank.

No matter how Su Sun burned Eloat's soul power, he could only feel bursts of 'nothingness' that penetrated deep into the bone marrow and even the depths of his soul.

However, this feeling of nothingness was interrupted by Yara's excited voice.

[Yes, that's it!] 】

For the first time, Su Ri heard Yara's voice so excited, so excited, and he sensed that the snake spirit, which had rarely appeared on the earth as a physical entity since his strength advanced to the overlord Earth Immortal, once again appeared on his shoulder.

The light lit up, Su Sun lifted the cosmic battle form, the red snake wrapped around the shoulders of the humanoid Su Sun was already several meters long, he hovered over Su Sun's arms and shoulders, and the other half of his body was wrapped around Su Sun's waist, and the jewel-like red snake was excited at the moment: [That's it!] The core fragment of the seal! One of the main drives of the Seal Hub! 】

[This thing actually fell...... No wonder the Great Seal is shaken, no wonder the entire Seal Universe is on the verge of crumbling! 】

[Who, whose power can shake the entire multiverse when it is sealed, shake the Great Seal, and drop one of its core drives?!] 】

At first, Yara's tone was shocked and delighted, but also with a sense of excitement that she had finally seen her target.

But soon, His tone became heavy: Ah...... Who else could it be......]

[Only 'twilight', only He has this power...... Was it a sign of His awakening? So much earlier than we are, did He wake up then......]

Su Yan didn't speak, and communicated with the current Yara.

He narrowed his eyes slightly, remembering the fragments of memory that had remained after he had digested the ghast of Cloat.

"It seems that my previous guess was wrong."

In the entire Earth Universe, or in other words, in the Sealing Universe, the original seal fragment should only be the 'Final Seal'.

And the follow-up Celestial Scale, and even the Galactic Star, should be the second batch of fragments that fell off because the ancient civilizations fought with the Zhonghuan Town Seal as the core and once again shook the universe.

"So...... If the situation of the Great Seal of the Multiverse continues to deteriorate, there may not be a third batch of Seal Fragments that will fall off—but they will certainly be more minor fragments. ”

Whispering softly, Su Sun felt that he had vaguely discovered the deeper truth in this universe through the memory of the ancient life of the Star Eater: "Moreover, the supergiant stars in the subspace run through at least 800,000 worlds, and even connect the superstars of the heavens and all worlds?" ”

"It's the seal, blocking the other sealed universes, the entrance and exit to the other side of the seal...... In other words, if I'm lucky enough to travel through time and space in other worlds, I'm afraid I'll be able to see this big star too? ”

Thinking of this, Su Tian couldn't help but shake his head slightly, feeling the wonder of the multiverse.

"Yara, we've found the third seal fragment - the coordinates aren't clear, but it should be around the Void Order's subspace headquarters."

Turning his head sideways, he whispered to the red snake spirit who was lying on his shoulder and seemed to be deep in thought, Su Sun's tone was smiling: "In other words, as long as we completely wipe out the Void Order, we will be able to find the third seal fragment." ”

"Such a good thing, you don't have any other opinion?"

[Ah...... Of course. 】

As if awakened by Su Sun's tone, Yara was half a late voice before she reacted and responded.

He shook his head slightly, and then said helplessly: [But to be honest, the Dusk Clan is not easy to solve...... You see, they have existed since the time of antiquity, and they are still thriving today. 】

[They do not exist only in one world, but in organizations that exist in multiple worlds, like pioneer explorers, which are very difficult to eradicate. 】

"Then I see one and destroy one, isn't it?"

In this regard, Su Sun did not show the slightest distress.

He shrugged his shoulders: "There are infinite numbers of them, then I am now an immortal immortal, and I have almost infinite time." ”

"As long as I destroy the Twilight Clan and maintain the stability of the multiverse and the Great Seal, then I can kill forever, the end of time."

【…… You haven't changed. 】

Also turning his head sideways, looking at Su Sun, Yara narrowed her eyes slightly, as if she saw the young man who vowed to slaughter all the demons in the world until the end of the demon when he killed the first true demon of Dusk a few years ago.

He laughed, "Well, indeed, it's a good thing, a great thing. 】

[It's hard to imagine that in just five or six years, you have already achieved this step, originally according to my idea, you at least ...... There are also dozens or hundreds of years before such an achievement can be achieved. 】

"That's your vision, it's worthy of you!"

[That's because you have outstanding qualifications, and you deserve to be you!] 】

After habitually blowing each other, Su Tian turned his head and flew towards the Earth Fleet.

The collapse of Ross 128 would not produce a supernova explosion, but the spilled stellar material would still be very dangerous for the ship, and although he felt that the Earth Fleet could handle such a situation, his presence would be more secure.

At the same time, in the Earth fleet.

Su Day's deputy secretary, Tang Yuan, couldn't help but sigh after recording all the details of this battle.

"Even such a giant beast that can devour the stars has been wiped out by the minister...... And after pushing the moon, it is slashed with a giant blade that seems to be able to cut off the planet. ”

"I thought I needed the Sunset Bow as a final blow, but it turned out that I just lifted the shield and abandoned it, and the minister's power is far stronger than we thought."

"Such power...... You can almost pinching the entire earth civilization in your hands with your backhand! ”

After thinking about it carefully, Tang Yuan was stunned and realized that on the entire earth, except for first-class attack artifacts such as the Sunset Bow, there was nothing that could threaten Su Sun.

But now, isn't the sunset bow in Su Sun's hands?

At this point, he finally understood what kind of trust the earth civilization and the high-level officials of Zhengguo had invested in Su Sun.

That's the belief that delivers the future, delivers everything.

And the reason why Su Sun braved the crisis to fight on the other side of the universe was precisely to repay this trust.

"Tang Yuan, how is the situation of the fleet now?"

Soon, as the spiritual realm continued to be reshaped, Su Day's clearer communication sounded in the fleet channel: "How much fuel do we have?" ”

"More than enough, Marshal."

Although he still said that he was a minister in his heart, what he was calling Su Tian's current position was Tang Yuan glanced at the information and responded in a rather professional tone: "We can even directly carry out long-distance jump experiments and directly jump back to the orbit of Jupiter or the Earth-Moon orbit." ”

"But it seems a bit of a waste to just go back like this, there are still nine experimental objectives on the fleet target list to complete, I think we can try them along the way......"

"Nope."

However, halfway through speaking, Tang Yuan's words were interrupted by Su Day: "We won't go back—we won't go back to Earth." ”

"Tang Yuan, tell me, how far can the Earth Fleet jump in one breath?"

"Huh?"

Hearing Su Day's response, the young secretary, who was a little pale, couldn't help but feel a little unresponsive.

He frowned slightly, and then looked at the fleet's intelligence list again: "This, if you don't add it in the end, it will probably be able to jump about two hundred and thirty light years?" However, this is the limit case, our technology is nowhere near as simple and sturdy as the Celestians, and after such a long jump, the engine is likely to be overloaded and will need to be repaired for a long time......"

"It's okay, if the engine allows, you can go as far as you can."

Although Su Sun's tone was gentle, there was obviously no room for refusal, and he shifted his target again, and said to the Sennostian ambassador on the side, Thain Prophet: "Mr. Ambassador, when will the support fleet of Therostia arrive?" ”

[This...... Previously, the spirit world was broken and communication was unusable, so I cut off contact with the elders......]

For the first time, Tain Prophet couldn't answer this question, but after waiting for a while, he contacted the elder group again, and the ambassador with a ghostly light in his eyes said in a deep voice, and said slowly in the tone of a great elder: "Please allow us to say sorry, Venerable Su, our support fleet was stopped by an endless stream of Dusk Clans on the way...... Strangely enough, there are far more of them than there were before, and they are as fierce as ever. 】

[Our pace has been delayed, and it will take months for reinforcements to arrive. 】

"Sure enough."

In this regard, Su Sun was not surprised at all - the Dusk Clan's request for help was still effective after all, although there was no way to really save Cloat's life, but it was easy to designate him Su Sun as a target.

What's more, the information transmitted by the Star Eater later, that is, the information that Su Sun held the 'Seal Fragment' on his body, would undoubtedly make many of the Twilight Clans who had been able to maintain a 'non-indifferent' state go crazy - he dared to say that the Void Order had now poured out of their pockets and began to prepare to use all their strength to encircle and suppress themselves.

As for why there are so many Dusk Clans......

Su Sun felt that this was normal.

For a transcendent universe that used to be dominated by psionic energy, the aura's disconnection was a thing...... How many Dusk Clans can be born?

Everything that has been studied in the past is meaningless, and all the pride and power are just some kind of joke that can be easily cut off, in the face of this kind of vision that can easily extract a basic law of the universe and change the basic force.

Universe, does it make sense?

Su Sun dared to say that the period before and after the revival of the aura was the time when the entire universe had the most twilight clans!

At this time, back to Earth?

Su Yan didn't want to be a sinner for the ages.

At the very least, the Dusk family must be beaten before they can go home safely.

"So, Marshal, we are the bait to lure all the Dusk Clans away from Earth?"

Tang Yuan is not stupid, Su Sun's dialogue is basically a clear indication that he wants to use himself as bait - and because the Earth Fleet is basically bound to him, diverting back to Earth at this time is likely to take away some of the Dusk Chasers, so it is better to follow Su Sun.

At this point, he didn't want this action to be dangerous or not—following Su Sun's side, it was definitely not the most dangerous thing—Tang Yuan began to observe the star map, and began to think about which direction he should run in a twist and turn, which would make the chasing Dusk clan feel a big headache.

"Just choose the nearest black hole as a target, and always find a trash can after killing the garbage, right? Find a closer convenience, I'm in a hurry. ”

Naturally, Su Sun had his own ideas.

Choose a black hole galaxy to limit the enemy's subspace teleportation, or join forces with reinforcements here to send a steady stream of enemies into the largest trash can in the universe.

In this way, no matter what dangerous twilight clan or what kind of large non-combustible radioactive garbage, it has its own home.

"Okay, okay."

Holding back a smile, Tang Yuan, who narrowed down the scope of the screening, once again reached out to debug the star map.

So far, both sides are relaxed, and obviously don't think such a strategic shift is a big deal.

But soon, as Tain Prophet, who was possessed by the Elder Regiment, spoke again, both Su Sun and Tang Yuan's expressions became serious.

[Please wait a moment, Venerable Su Sun, we have very important information to share with you at this time. 】

The Great Elder's calm and heavy voice came from the mouth of Thain Prophet, and the atmosphere of the Sennostia Elders was extremely solemn: [At present, we have observed that an army of the Dusk Clan has come to the vicinity of the Fire Sunset Star Domain. This is not a big deal, with the power of Venerable Su, it is just a small trouble that can be destroyed at your fingertips,]

[However, the subspace around our former home galaxy 'Twilight Star Field' has undergone an anomalous mutation - a super-giant void rift has begun to extend there......]

Speaking of this, even the Great Elder's tone became extremely solemn.

[In the past, there seemed to be a gap in the twilight space-time rift sealed by our ancestors—and in that gap, a large number of abnormal reactions holding the evil gods of the other world, and even the aura of 'twilight twilight', appeared! 】
