Chapter 381: The End of the Void

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

What exactly was the void? This question was not difficult.

Void could refer purely to this universe with all kinds of particles and energy. It could also refer to the absolute vacuum that had nothing and did not even exist in time. It could simply refer to a seemingly empty space. It could even refer to the “consciousness determines matter” thought in the idealistic domain.

Everything depended on how to define void.

The scientists of the Voyager read all the words related to the Void in their dictionary to the Void Lord. It was always right to use a large amount of data to get an answer.

They couldn’t understand the meaning of Void Evil because they had heard this name from the Administrator. Naturally, they called it Void Evil.

Li Wenyuan had heard from Queen Presolin that the Queen had learned of the existence of such a group of hounds from the memories passed down from generation to generation.

As for who had named these lifeforms “Void Evils” in the first place, the

Queen’s memories were very vague.

So why was such a creature named so? Evil could be understood as a large number of descendants, while Void Evil could simply be understood as a void descendant. Then what did Void refer to?

It seemed to be like some kind of conventional naming, and it didn’t attract much attention. It was only when this Void Lord—who had obtained intelligence-had his doubts that people remembered the origin of their names.

[…Is that so…]

What the Voyager scientist said through the signal was all new knowledge to the Void Lord. It listened attentively, but it didn’t seem to hear what it wanted.

At this moment, Li Wenyuan’s artificial intelligence fleet had already sent back the information about what had happened here. They began to cautiously approach this Observation Terminal that had been infected by the Void Lord’s flesh and blood.

They chose to observe this strange lifeform within a controllable range. Once anything abnormal happened, they would activate the purification authority given by Li Wenyuan and nip the abnormality in the bud.

The Void Lord did not care about the approach of the artificial intelligence fleet. It did not react to the drones that were scanning the planet. It only expressed its opinion.

[My intelligence was born by chance. I don’t have the common knowledge of this universe. Everything I know was obtained from the broadcast signals flying around your galaxy.]

[The first thing I think about is the definition of self. This is something every intellectual life should think about first.]

[I know that you define lifeforms like me as Void Evil, Void Beast, Void Egg, and so on… I can’t be sure if this is pertinent, but understanding ‘self through the objective evaluation of a third party is also a way.]

[Now that you think about it, you’ve also realized that void is a term that appears very frequently. Even if the language and language are different, and the signal composition is different, it can still be translated into a similar meaning.]

[This might be a coincidence, or it might be fate. No matter how long it has been passed down, we are ultimately defined as void.]

[So what exactly is void?]

In the communication signal, the Void Lord threw out such a rhetorical question, but it didn’t wait for an answer. Instead, it continued to state, [I originally thought that those who called themselves Presohn were the same as us. For this reason, I didn’t hesitate to expose my existence and use the secrets I know to conduct transactions.]

[But as you know, we seem to be the only ones related to the void in this universe.]

[You don’t know what void is, but I know that it’s the source of our appearance. There’s relevant content in our memories. Without intelligence, I can’t interpret what it is, but with the help of this planet’s processor, I already

know.]

[The void is actually God]

As soon as this Void Lord’s signal came out, everyone present fell silent.

They had thought that it would have some high opinion, but it turned out to be such a charlatan’s answer. Almost all the Voyager scientists looked disappointed.

They attributed all incomprehensible phenomena to the fact that God was the most primitive faith worship, the result of insufficient scientific development. The interstellar civilization no longer existed.

Even for those interstellar civilizations that were ruled by the Gods and used the Church as the highest authority, the officials would always shout, “For God XX, I will destroy you in the name of God XX.” The preschool textbooks they wrote only said, “Archbishop XX discovered the law of gravity when he was observing the fallen fruits.” It did not say, “God told us about gravity.” However, the scientists of the Voyager could understand the Void Lord. After all, the Void Lord was a lifeform that had never undergone systematic education. It seemed very normal for him to attribute incomprehensible things to the non-existent God.

However, what it said next made the scientists think deeply.

[This is not an unwise remark. In my memory, the void is a phenomenon with a certain degree of instinct, or rather, rules.]

[Generally, such existences no longer apply to the definition of life, so I prefer to call it God.]

[To be precise, the void is one of the endpoints of this universe. It’s the endpoint of the universe where all matter and non-materials disappear, and even time and space no longer exist.]

[I don’t know if you have any similar theories about the end of the universe. Perhaps you already have many opinions.]

[But now, I can tell you clearly that one of the ends of this universe was the void.]

[I, or rather, “we”, these Void Beasts are the products of the void. They are props that “He” uses to accelerate the universe’s entry to the endpoint.] [He will spontaneously make the universe lean towards his essence. It has nothing to do with any needs, nor is it for any purpose. This is because it is a ‘phenomenon’, just like gravity exists in all things.]

[Most of our natures that are different from this universe come from Him. That’s His nature.]

[But why is “He” the end of “He”? Because my memories tell me that in theory, there should be countless voids with different characteristics appearing in the universe. They will sweep through this universe, transform all the laws into voids, and destroy everything.]

[How should I describe this behavior or phenomenon? I think there might be a more accurate definition in your words—a huge, destructive, unexpected, and “endpoint” that everyone has to face.]

However, none of this happened. The terminus was rewritten, and no other void lifeforms appeared.

[And we are no longer subordinates of the void. We are controlled by a civilization that calls itself the Hunter and we have become their dogs.] The Void Lord was telling the truth. Other than its special anti-thermodynamic property and Super Evolution ability, there seemed to be nothing that could corroborate what it said.

However, these scientists had an inexplicable premonition, as if what it said was true.

What concerned them the most was the feeling of deja vu in his words.

They had also walked out of the Milky Way. Although they had not experienced those things directly because of the relationship between humans and Li Wenyuan, they knew what had happened.

As for what the Void Lord said, in their definition, it seemed to be more suitable to use the word natural disaster. However, this natural disaster targeted the entire universe..
