Chapter 547 Legacy and Destruction

The universe doesn't have enough mass.

So this is the final outcome of this long doomsday that lasted for 6,660 years.

The slender limb rested lightly on the hand, cold and hard, like the apocalypse itself, or the greatest impression left by the deceased people on the "home world" they lived in - cold, malicious, like a huge machine that was collapsing, crushing everything with unwavering determination.

The fear and awe of mortals towards their hometown itself turned into the last god of the world. The strong obsession with survival and all the longing for a new world also belonged to this god. Hope belonged to him, despair belonged to him, and the emptiness after the end of all things also belonged to him.

No wonder the spider silk is so cold and tough.

But Yu Sheng suddenly found it difficult to let go.

"No, why? What's going on?" He even became a little excited and stood up suddenly from the stone slabs in front of the temple. "It has come to this, why is it..."

"It's not for any reason, it's just fate." The slender limb still rested on Yu Sheng's hand, its voice as gentle and patient as ever. "'Fairness' isn't the cornerstone of the world's operation, and mathematical laws are even less warm. Compared to the flickering flames on our home planet, coldness and darkness are the norm in the universe. Civilization itself is a low-probability event. We just happen to have fallen into the last frame of the time scale for our entire civilization cycle."

Yu Sheng stared blankly at the limb in his hand until it gently retracted into the darkness inside the temple gate.

The huge shadow slowly retreated in the darkness.

Yu Sheng was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously took a step forward to step into the temple, but found that he was blocked by an invisible barrier - not a solid wall, but a curtain as soft as the wind, which could not be penetrated no matter what.

After several attempts, Yu Sheng quickly reacted.

That ancient deity wasn't here. Everything he saw here was essentially just a recorded "echo," just like the action log Irene had left in the little bear. The true Goddess of Omens had been shattered three thousand seven hundred years ago, the largest fragments having long since merged with Irene to form a completely new entity...

The moment he realized this, Yu Sheng suddenly remembered another sentence left by Blonde Irene in her diary:

"...He agreed to my fusion proposal and chose to voluntarily give up most of his consciousness, hoping only that I could preserve a special set of data from his memory. The scale of that data was staggering, but harmless—I couldn't understand what it was, but it clearly held special significance to him."

Yu Sheng stood there in a daze, then turned his head and looked around.

A towering temple stands on the top of the mountain, and winding steps extend to the foot of the mountain. The nameless city is brightly lit, and among the towering towers are the people waiting for the sun to rise again. The sky is low, and scarlet stripes wrap around the shrinking world.

"Tower" is one of the important cultural symbols of this civilization. It originated from the awe and fear of the sky by our ancestors in ancient times. People who were always worried about the collapse of the sky built towers on the earth in the hope that they could support the collapsed sky on the day of the end of the world and preserve a place for civilization to survive.

Even though the development of scientific knowledge made future generations realize the futility of doing so, the devout still built a magnificent forest of towers in this holy city built around the temple.

Yu Sheng thought, perhaps this is what the goddess of bad omen exchanged for "Blonde Irene" at the cost of herself - a memory of her hometown, a story about her and her people.

Everything about the Dark Angels is incredibly polluted, especially the knowledge they carry. It is obviously a high price to pay to exchange a "preservation space" for these stories.

The surrounding scene began to shake. It was just a visual shake at first, but soon developed into a huge earthquake that shook the earth.

The city at the foot of the mountain collapsed, and the earth was torn into bottomless cracks. Huge rocks rolled down from the mountains, and the temples and mountains began to quickly turn into countless sticky shadows, flowing along the hillside towards the city. Yu Sheng suddenly lost his balance and fell to the side. Before he could touch the ground, he felt a void under him, and then everything in his sight disappeared.

He felt something in his heart and subconsciously turned his head to look in the direction where the temple had stood before.

Chaotic mist enveloped everything, and a tall black tower reaching from heaven to earth stood in the endless space. The tower was shattered in various places, but the cracks of varying sizes shone with intense light, as if they were rapidly closing up.

Below the tower is a distant and blurry city that looks vaguely familiar.

Yu Sheng looked up at the other end of the tower again.

A pitch-black planet hangs high above the tower, like a huge, dark and deep cave, like a shadow standing at the end of time and space.

An astonishing oppressive force came from the "black star", and a huge torrent of information flooded into his mind.

Yu Sheng seemed to hear many voices in an instant, but before he could fully understand the flow of information rushing in his mind, he suddenly felt his hand sink.

He looked down in surprise, only to see that he was holding an irregular black "stone" in his hand. The stone was large, about the same size as Irene, with uneven edges and some of the flatter surfaces had complex patterns on them.

Zolda Black Stone?

Yu Sheng was shocked, but before he could figure out why this "black stone" fell into his hands, he saw fine rays of light suddenly appear on the surface of the "stone". The light turned into countless cracks, and then the black stone began to disintegrate rapidly in his hands.

"Holy shit!" Yu Sheng was shocked. He never expected that the Zolda Black Stone that had caused so much trouble for everyone would shatter as soon as it landed in his hands. His blood ran cold on the spot. "No! How am I going to explain this when I get back?"

He was so frightened that he didn't care about anything else. He took out a bloodletting knife made of Luna's nails from his pocket and cut a cut on his hand without hesitation. Then he frantically grabbed the half-broken black stone and smeared blood on it, trying to use the power of blood to forcibly fix it.

It would have been fine if he hadn't done that. As soon as he smeared the blood on it, he found that the thing broke even faster - it even "evaporated" as it broke!

"Oh my god..."

In just the blink of an eye, the Zolda Black Stone, which was originally about the same size as Irene, shattered into pieces. The large and small fragments turned into mist and dispersed with the wind. All that was left in Yu Sheng's hand was a small cube about half the size of a palm, made of a material similar to jade.

Yu Sheng stared at the "core" that was left after the black stone shattered in a daze. His first reaction was that the shape of this thing after it broke was obviously not a coincidence, but more like... some kind of sophisticated man-made device that had been hidden in the seemingly irregular stone shell from the beginning.

He also noticed that there seemed to be even smaller runes on the edge of the cube, which were different from the "ominous runes" on the surface of the black stone before, but they were difficult to see with the naked eye.

However, he didn't have the chance to study it carefully - a huge force suddenly came, and the cube almost slipped out of his hand!

Yu Sheng only had time to exclaim in surprise before he subconsciously grabbed the "cubic core" and was suddenly carried away by it, flying straight towards the dark tower standing in the chaotic space in the distance!

"What the hell is going on? Irene didn't tell me before we left that this trip would involve another bloody disaster..."

Yu Sheng looked back helplessly, and could only sigh before curling up his body while hugging the "cubic core", preparing to face the impending impact.

However, the expected impact did not come.

He only felt that he had passed through a layer of invisible fog. A flash of light and shadow appeared before his eyes, and when he reacted again, he was already standing on... a platform inside the tower.

…

There seemed to be a problem with the artificial gravity system, and the entire space station seemed to be gradually tilting. Various warning lights were flashing in the corridor, accompanied by many distorted and harsh alarm sounds, which was very disturbing.

Luo led everyone through the intricate corridors of the outer area of ​​the Blackstone Space Station at a rapid speed. There were flickering lights in front of their eyes, annoying noises in their ears, and more and more toxic exhaust gases gradually began to permeate the surrounding artificial atmosphere.

Hu Li used his nine tails to wrap around several mass-produced Irenes, and held another in his arms. As he ran, he lowered his head and asked, "Are you really okay, benefactor?"

"Oh, it's okay, it's okay. He's really alive! It's just that the signal is a little interfered with and I can't hear what he's saying over there—you've asked this question seven or eight times!" Irene raised her head with great effort and shouted, "Hey, silly fox, be gentle, you're strangling me to death..."

As they were talking, the group arrived at another cabin. The warning light in front of the cabin door was flashing violently, but the locking mechanism of the door was stuck.

Luo stepped forward: "I'll repair the mechanical brake..."

Before she could finish her words, a figure quickly stepped forward. Luna raised her knife and the blade flashed with a few flashes of light. She directly tore down the door and kicked it away.

"No need, Xiu," Luna turned to look at Luo, "It's all rotten, like this."

Luo looked at the scene with tears in his eyes, then turned his head to look at the series of messy and dilapidated traces on the road he came from. He could only sigh resignedly and swallowed the words "my belongings" back into his stomach.

Then she darted through the gate.

In the center of the cabin inside the gate stood a massive device—a large number of complex pipes and cables connected to a cylinder about two meters in diameter. The middle section of the cylinder was transparent, and in the center of the powerful binding field, several rapidly rotating concentric rings and a fist-sized bright core could be seen.

"This is the last one," Luo quickly drove the wheeled feet over and dismantled a cover next to the device. The mechanical limbs behind him began to reassemble some key structures inside at a dazzling speed. "The backup mechanism for the total disintegration and self-destruction of the space station, the backup mechanism for the backup mechanism for the backup mechanism for the backup mechanism..."

Ailin poked her head out from Hu Li's chest and asked, "If we take this thing down, will the border be safe?"

"No," Luo said without looking back, "The erosion of the Boundary Bridge is still going on. I can't do anything about that, but at least the large shield above the Boundary City won't be backstabbed by the self-destruction of the Blackstone Space Station at a critical moment. I have never backstabbed any partner in my life, and I don't intend to make an exception before I die. What if I don't die this time..."
