this infinite world

——The story begins with a space battleship built with cultivation technology crossing dimensions and time, warping to the outermost edge of the Crystal Wall System, and sending a colonial advance team to an inhabited planet.

At first, they claimed to be "pioneers" from the Primordial Heaven, responsible for spreading the light of civilization to the human race in the entire multiverse. But after discovering that the humans in that plane actually lived in harmony with the elves, the outsiders immediately denounced this behavior as a betrayal of their ancestors and a betrayal of the blood and tears of the human race for tens of millions of years... Then, they launched an indiscriminate massacre.

Faced with the massacre, humans and elves united to resist the enemy from outer space. But the enemy was too powerful, even if the entire plane united, it was no match for the enemy. Any resistance, even if they just tried to protect their homes, was ruthlessly wiped out.

At the same time, the Primordial Heaven Court was constantly creating divisions within the resistance army. Every time they captured a city, they exterminated all the elves, but left the humans to be selected, giving power and status to those who were willing to surrender. Under coercion and inducement, many humans made the most "rational" choice.

Then, they established schools in the main cities of the planet and began to "re-educate" the human residents. They preached the superiority of humans and belittled the wisdom and culture of non-human races. In the classroom, teachers used biased teaching materials to tell the "darkness and ignorance" of the elves' history, while the "glory and wisdom" of humans were infinitely magnified. The young human generation grew up in such an environment, and discrimination and hatred against non-human intelligent races were deeply rooted in their hearts.

As time went by, more and more humans who saw no hope chose to submit to the Heavenly Court by virtue of their identity as "humans". Under the encirclement and suppression of the surrendered human army deliberately sent by the Heavenly Court and the betrayal of internal human spies, the elves gradually lost all trust in their former allies.

They hid in the ancient forest and launched guerrilla warfare, and the Great Heavenly Court burned all the trees on the planet with the fire of destruction. The elves' bows and magic seemed powerless in front of the technology of cultivation, and their songs and prayers were also drowned in the explosions and howling flames.

The humans who surrendered did not avoid a tragic end. After the human supremacist education began to show results, the Heavenly Court used the harshest means to manage these humans who had long been mixed with the blood of the elves in their bodies. The entire planet was transformed into a mine to exploit resources and an outpost to invade the surrounding planes. All humans were forced to collect all resources for the Primordial Heavenly Court, even the life of the planet itself, and worked like slaves until they died...

Such a rule naturally aroused resistance, but this was exactly what the Primordial Heavenly Court wanted. After collecting all the resources of the planet and the source of the plane, they could justifiably start the massacre. And perhaps it was the last bloody fate of the race and the planet that caused the last person in this plane, Quillena, to receive an invitation to enter the main god space and escape the disaster together with the dead star core in front of her...

……

"Honghuang Heavenly Palace..."

After reading the information inside the star core debris, Yang Yun closed his eyes.

Yang Yun actually didn't know much about the Honghuang Heavenly Court. He only had a rough idea of ​​what kind of organization it was through the background and settings in "The Beginning of Death", but that was all.

Yang Yun didn't know the specific details, didn't know what its function was, and didn't know what changes had taken place after Emperor Fuxi went to the negative multiverse... and now, he has truly seen what the Heavenly Court has done.

Yang Yun still remembered that the full name of the Fourth Regiment was "The Fourth Regiment of the Tenth Legion of the Human Emperor". Before he met Liuli and Shanshan, the soldier of the Fourth Regiment named Mei Hong hoped that later comers would inform the Honghuang Heavenly Court of the invasion of darkness even before his death.

So, when the human city in the negative universe was risking their lives and crossing planes to resist the invasion of darkness and prevent the tentacles of dark Gaia from reaching the positive universe, what was the Honghuang Heavenly Court, the guardian of the positive universe, doing? They allowed foreign enemies to invade, were obsessed with the distinction between humans and aliens, and were turning their butcher knives on the compatriots they were supposed to protect...

——What is this? To fight against foreign enemies, we must first stabilize the country?
"How ridiculous..."

"This is the method of the Honghuang Heavenly Court."

Listening to the few words squeezed out from Yang Yun's teeth, Chu Xuan, who had already checked the internal information of the star core debris, said indifferently: "But Yang Yun, you need to be aware of one thing, that is, Honghuang Tianting's behavior is very deliberate."

"...That's right."

Yang Yun took a deep breath and calmed himself. With the strength of the Primordial Heaven, they could have wiped out the entire plane in an instant, but they deliberately adopted an extremely inefficient method, using harsh but leeway-worthy means to gradually erode the hope of the rebels, as if they were pursuing a sense of ritual: "Could it be that they want to use this cruel method to lure out the power of the Primordial Ten Thousand Clans, or..." "The intelligence is not enough to give an answer for the time being, and this is not a question we need to think about for the time being."

Chu Xuan shook his head and looked at Yang Yun: "The last contract I made with the captain of the Ximei team was that she handed over the control of the half plane to the Zhongzhou team. In exchange, she hoped that the Zhongzhou team could liberate the many souls inside the remains of the star core in a suitable plane, so that they could have the possibility of reincarnation in that plane."

"And all of this should be decided by you as the captain."

"...You really gave me a big problem, Chu Xuan."

Looking at the slowly rotating star core debris above the coffee table, Yang Yun covered his forehead and said, "I'm asking you to tell me something, not to blame me, right?"

“Everyone has causes and effects that must be continued.”

As he said this, Chu Xuan picked up another apple from the coffee table. This time he did not eat it immediately, but carefully observed the patterns on the apple, as if he was studying a fine work of art. "Zheng Zha accepted Luo Yinglong's Fuxi Sword, so he naturally needs to take on the cause and effect of resurrecting him. Qi Tengyi did not follow my advice and chose to take the initiative to clean up the mess, and his future will definitely be closely related to the Yuqing lineage."

"Cheng Xiao consumed countless strange poisons in Miaojiang, and he will need to repay the favor afterwards; Zhao Yingkong received the favor of her master personality, and it is not enough to just end the life of the real Zhao Zhuikong. In the future, she will need to return to the real world and make peace with the assassin family she came from."

"This is cause and effect."

As he spoke, Chu Xuan flipped his palm, and the red apple naturally fell down, and was captured by the gravity of the black star core debris, slowly rotating around it: "It is invisible and intangible, but it does exist, and each of us must be thrown into this vortex of cause and effect."

"...That's the truth, and I understand what you mean, but why is it that you made the contract with Quillena from the West American team, but in the end I have to pay for it?"

Listening to Chu Xuan's words, Yang Yun sighed: "Is this a test for me? Or is there any other deeper meaning?"

"You can choose not to take it, but for comprehensive considerations, I think it is more appropriate for you to do this than for me."

Chu Xuan looked at Yang Yun steadily, and nodded after a long while: "Because you have saved the world more times than all the people in the Zhongzhou team combined, and only if this matter is handed over to you to lead, everything can be properly resolved."

"Should I feel honored? But never mind... I am the captain of the Zhongzhou team after all."

Yang Yun felt the overflowing despair, but after a few seconds, he still resolutely reached out his hand and grasped the dark sphere in front of him. In addition to anger, his eyes also had an extremely firm determination.

"This time, the reason why we must win this time..."

"There's one more." (End of this chapter)
