Chapter 105: The Void Realm Lord Revelation
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
“Is there a civilization suspected of having signed a contract with the ‘End of Reincarnation’?”
Li Wenyuan, who had already built half of the Psionic Beacon, looked at the chaotic star map when he heard the news.
Due to the expansion of the war and the occasional guerrilla warfare between the ‘Watcher’ and the ‘Voyager,’ many civilizations’ territories were divided and scattered.
One of them was particularly obvious. It was the first echelon of the idealistic civilization, the Duncan Race, which had made some achievements in the void realm.
This civilization had expanded its territory by more than two times in a very short period, but they quickly abandoned their own land and began an impossible expedition.
As they had taken away all of their fighting forces, this expanding territory was quickly devoured by other civilizations. From the star map’s perspective, it was a situation of crisscrossing teeth, which was very ugly for those with obsessive-compulsive disorder.
However, some civilizations were worried about the Duncan Race’s abnormality and sent a message to the ‘Administrator’ who first made the Milky Way aware of the ‘End of Reincarnation,’ this void realm existence.
After all, judging from the recent performance of the Administrator,’ they didn’t seem to have any taboos and wouldn’t do anything at will. Other than the research spaceships flying all over the Milky Way, they didn’t participate in any Milky Way affairs.
However, it was this lost empire that seemed to be completely unconcerned about external affairs that once explained the price of the ‘End of Reincarnation’ to the entire Milky Way, making civilizations, which wanted to obtain the void realm’s power, cautious.
Even though there were some civilizations that thought, “What could a bunch of robots who could not enter the void realm understand,” just as Li Wenyuan thought, sometimes, a hint of doubt could stop them from making such a choice.
After all, the price of the ‘End of Reincarnation’ was too great. Even if they did not believe it, they had to consider that that was an insight from the lost empire, and they could not gamble with the entire civilization.
Therefore, when they realized that the Duncan Race’s crazy attitude was likely related to the ‘End of Reincarnation,’ other than the believers of idealistic civilization, the ‘Watcher,’ the other civilizations also turned their attention to the ‘Administrator’ who had warned them.
“…There is no free lunch in the world…Don’t you think about the price when you sign the contract?” Li Wenyuan felt that it was already too late.
The Duncan Race had obviously signed a contract a long time ago. It was even possible they had done so before he gave the warning.
Judging from the momentum of their development, the ‘End of Reincarnation’ had indeed given them great benefits, but the greater the benefits, the more terrifying the interest.
When the time for settlement came, Li Wenyuan could already imagine the tragic scene.
“You can’t blame others for the path you have chosen….”
“But the ‘Watcher’…Why had this civilization, which had obviously done in-depth research in the field of psionic energy, not informed the other civilizations? Is it because the lost empire doesn’t care?”
While he was thinking, he had already issued a notice to the entire Milky Way as the Administrator,’ requesting all civilizations to stay away from every Duncan Race’s galaxy immediately and very seriously explaining the dangers.
After the notice was sent out, many civilizations that had occupied the colonies left behind by the Duncan Race hesitated for a while. However, they still stayed away from those places.
However, they were only separated by a galaxy. They all hoped that what the Administrator’ said was false so they could quickly take back their spoils of war.
However, a small number of greedy civilizations also did not waver at all. They had even begun to strengthen the defense of the galaxy, vowing to fight to the death with the ‘End of Reincarnation.’
In the end, even the materialistic civilizations focused their attention on the Duncan Race, wanting to see what the so-called ‘End of Reincarnation’ was.
It had been some time since the Duncan Race launched their desperate expedition. Since they did not have a warp drive, they could only attack the ‘Watcher’ through the hyperspace channel that was not slow but not that fast.
There were indeed a large number of fleets that gathered from the civilization.
They were arranged in a messy formation and sailed into the distance.
If someone looked up from the planet they passed by, they would see shuttle-like ships passing through the sky repeatedly as if they would never stop.
In the end, the ‘Watcher’ discovered this group of ill-intentioned people and sent a fleet to intercept them.
It had been a long time since an ordinary civilization offended them. Even those who had staked everything on it could not shake their status.
The battle of a group of ‘ants’ challenging an ‘elephant’ began.
The moment Duncan’s fleet entered the galaxy, they were attacked beyond visual range. In just the first volley, Duncan lost dozens of battleships.
At that moment, their combat computers had yet to discover where the enemy was.
The ‘Watcher’ had only left one of the guerrilla fleets there. They felt that was enough to deal with that group of ignorant people.
Furthermore, they were familiar with human nature. They knew that those people would know the difference between them and retreat without fighting when the casualties reached a certain level.
It was another volley from the lost empire’s battlecruisers. This time, Duncan’s ‘last stake’ fleet discovered where the enemy was, but their range was insufficient. They had no choice but to try to dodge and resist.
The feeling of ‘only I can beat you’ was unpleasant, but the Duncan Race did not stop. Instead, they continued to charge toward the other end of the galaxy.
The premonition brought by the psionic energy had made them faintly sense that time was about to end. However, before the final moment arrived, they wanted to figure out what the lost empire was doing.
The closer they got to the ‘Watcher,’ the more they could ‘smell’ the familiar scent from the void realm.
They knew very well that this supercilious ancient civilization before them had also signed the same contract, but why were they still so calm if that were the case?
Curiosity about that secret and fear of ‘settlement’ gave them unimaginable courage. All the spaceships were desperately loading their thrusters and accelerating forward.
The first fleet of frigates met with the lost empire’s fleet, but the battle did not affect their speed. Countless smaller ships that were faster passed by the fighting ships and did not join in.
Duncan’s purpose was obvious. They only wanted to go to the ‘Holy Land,’ which was the next place in that galaxy.
The deaths of their allies could not stop their advance. Even though the casualty rate had exceeded 50%, the battle zone was still steadily approaching the lost empire’s fleet.
A bad premonition made the ‘Watcher’ there contact reinforcements because they realized that the civilization that dared to challenge them had no interest in fighting. They were bent on breaking into the galaxy where the Holy Land was located.
Hence, more ‘Watcher’ fleets warped over and began eliminating the enemy.
Duncan’s battleships had long since been destroyed, and the few remaining Titan Battleships had also turned into cosmic trash. Those large ships were destroyed by the battlecruisers before they could even fire a single shot.
However, they had too many small boats. The ‘Watcher’ even took out the carrier aircrafts that they hadn’t used in a long time to intercept the small boats.
There were even transport ships filled with the army and research spaceships with scientists.
As he didn’t expect those people to have such a strong will to advance, the ‘Watcher’s’ encirclement finally revealed a slight gap.
One of Duncan’s engineering ships passed through heavy artillery fire and evaded layers of interception before finally arriving at the next galaxy, which was also the galaxy where the Holy Land was located.
The moment the construction ship arrived, it was torn apart by the ‘Watcher’ fleet that was already prepared, but the crew on board could still see what was in the Holy Land.
A huge framework that surrounded the Holy Land was drawing spiritual energy continuously. It seemed to be what the ‘Watcher’ was relying on.
They seemed to understand what the ‘Watcher’ wanted to do, but without exception, they all revealed the same expression. It wasn’t sarcasm or anger but pity.
Those people, whose lives were about to come to an end, seemed to pity the devout believers of the ‘Watcher’ as if they had already seen the future.
The moment the cannon fire tore them apart, the countdown to the ‘settlement’ ended.
Time in the entire universe seemed to have stopped at that moment. The existence in the void realm finally revealed its long-prepared greedy fangs.
Starting from Duncan’s mother planet, every once-vibrant colony was covered with a veil.
The purple atmosphere gradually thickened in the sky and soon blocked the light of the star.
However, the interior of the planet did not fall into darkness. Instead, there was a faint fluorescent light emitting from all over the space.
That place seemed to have become one with the void realm. The nebula-like fog was expanding continuously. When it surged, all the lives sucked into it lost their traces in the world.
A Psionic Caster of Duncan shouted in such an environment, but he disappeared without a trace the moment the mist entwined him.
Some of them prayed, some atoned for their sins, and some regretted it, but they were all treated equally in the purple mist and lost all signs of existence.
It was the same for the battleships that were still fighting the ‘Watcher.’ After a series of noises, only the self-piloting spaceships were left, and everyone on board had disappeared.
The ‘End of Reincarnation’ had destroyed everything in the Duncan Race precisely.
All civilizations lost contact with the Duncan Race at the same time. In the once vast interstellar territory, there was only a strange silence.
Whether it was noise, broadcast, notification, or any other medium that could transmit information, they all vanished from Duncan’s territory. After a long time, the civilizations realized that it was as if the civilization had been wiped out in an instant.
The mysterious force affected most of the observation stations, and they could not see what was happening in Duncan.
However, Li Wenyuan, who had the sentry formation, was unaffected. Even if it were incomplete, he still knew what had appeared in those places.
Several ethereal ‘rings’ appeared on every colony planet that Duncan had once occupied. Those colony planets that had become void realm planets seemed to be proving the mighty power of the void realm.
This time, each of the ‘rings’ had absorbed more than ten billion ‘consciousnesses.’ With the support of such a huge force, the ‘Distorted Consciousnesses’ formed were much larger than the ones Li Wenyuan had seen before.
But apart from those ‘Distorted Consciousnesses,’ another ‘thing’ was born above Duncan’s former mother planet.
A massive psionic storm was wreaking havoc in that galaxy. Although the planets themselves were not affected, their surfaces would never be able to give birth to life naturally after being swept by the psionic storm.
The center of the storm also seemed to be a ring, but a glowing sphere had materialized in the center of the ring. It was much larger than an ordinary planet but only slightly smaller than a giant gas planet.
Terrifying psionic power was gathering within it. As the sphere’s light changed, the void realm’s interior seemed to be visible, as if it was the embodiment of the void realm.
Wherever it went, even the space seemed to be distorted. At any point in time, there were materials from the real world being swallowed into the void realm.
Zachlan, who was still planning something on a certain planet, felt something. His entire body trembled, and he said with a solemn expression, “The ‘ring’ has descended. This is…the ‘Void Realm Lord Revelation’?”
However, Li Wenyuan, who had witnessed the formation of the glowing ring and sphere, revealed a subtle expression.
“From the energy fluctuations detected…This level is not very powerful “
