Jian Die discovered that a ball of light had appeared beside her at some point. The ball of light was not dazzling, and the light it emitted was very soft, so Jian Die could look directly at it.

"Why has my appearance changed?" Jian Die asked.

The light sphere explained, "The chasm can directly read an individual's thought waves and then present them within the chasm. The reason your appearance has changed is because you have become what you believe you should be."

The place reflects the thoughts of the world, which is why there are so many strange and unusual creatures here.

Then, looking at the suspended cages of light, he asked, "Why are those cages locked up?"

The sphere of light replied, "They are the Hidden Ones, a technologically advanced race in this Sea of ​​Stars. They use the bodies of other races to enter the chasm as members of those races. Another function of the chasm is to identify the true identity of those who enter."

"And then there are those few, who are quite cunning. They use the mind splitting technique to create two thought entities within one vessel: one is the original weak racial group, and the other is a lurking hidden entity, attempting to deceive us."

With no more questions, Jian Die thanked the light sphere, saying, "Thank you for your unreserved explanation. My name is Jian Die, and I represent the Mingtian Domain's large group. I sincerely thank you for your kind feedback."

Subsequently, Jian Die disclosed information about his civilization without reservation. He did this not because he was unaware of the Dark Forest Theory, but because while he was aware of the Dark Forest Theory, he was even more aware of how terrifying the strength of the civilization he was currently in contact with was. He was well aware of the faster-than-light phenomenon, and his civilization could not possibly have any secrets in front of this civilization. 11 light-years was too close.

Since there are no secrets, it's better to tell everything and win the other person's favor.

After revealing his civilization without reservation, Jian Die said to the sphere of light, "I have revealed all my information without reservation. Please show the same sincerity and tell us who you are."

The sphere of light replied, “My race is named ‘Radiance’ and was conceived in a field of scorching bright stars during the first bright stars of the universe, two hundred million years after everything was born.”

"What is the 'Kuroshio'? Why are you fighting against it?" Kenji asked.

The sphere of light replied, "They plunder matter, fundamentally harming everything. Everything will expand eternally and eventually return to death, unable to be reincarnated."

Jian Die couldn't understand it at first. He seemed to understand the things involved, but at the same time, he felt like he didn't understand them.

"What is reincarnation?" Jian Die asked.

The sphere of light replied, "Reincarnation is reincarnation; all births and deaths cycle endlessly."

He then asked, "Can the dead be brought back to life?"

"Yes," the orb of light replied confidently.

After thinking for a moment, Jian Die asked, "What about dead civilizations? Can they also be resurrected?"

The sphere of light replied, "That's also possible. They will all be reborn in the cycle of reincarnation, and then perish when everything dies. Through this cycle of life and death, the race can continue to exist eternally."

Jian Die asked, "The Black Tide plunders matter, but what is their purpose? They are as powerful as you, and should also know about reincarnation. Do they want to commit suicide?"

"The Black Tide's goal is to end the cycle of reincarnation. They no longer want to exist in the cycle forever; they want to break free and become gods," the orb of light replied.

Jian Die certainly understood what 'God' meant, but when he heard the orb of light mention it, he was unsure whether it meant the same thing as he understood it.

“What do you mean? What does God refer to?” Jian Die asked.

The sphere of light gave a clear answer: "Omniscient and omnipotent, the ultimate meaning of all races and groups, that is God, the ultimate and the beginning."

"Once they have plundered all the matter in the universe, their ultimate goal will be achieved."

"If it's about becoming a god, then why are you all opposing it? Isn't becoming a god a good thing?" Jian Die asked.

The light sphere replied, "That kind of thing is meaningless."

Jian Die asked curiously, "I don't understand. If becoming a god is the ultimate meaning of everything, why do you say that it has no meaning?"

The sphere of light did not respond, remaining as silent as death.

Jian Die rearranged his thoughts and asked, "Did I misunderstand somewhere?"

The sphere of light replied, "Becoming a god and creating another new cycle of reincarnation—the highest meaning of this has already existed, so it has no meaning."

Does the highest meaning already exist?

Does that mean that this 'god' exists in the universe he inhabits?

After thinking for a while, Jian Die tentatively asked, "Would I be fortunate enough to witness the highest level of meaning you speak of?"

"Yes, you will understand everything if you live long enough," the orb of light replied.

Jian Die then asked, "Why don't you seek help from other powerful groups like yours? Do all the other powerful groups besides you choose to support your ascension to godhood?"

The orb replied, "We share the same attitude towards the Black Tide, but we will not communicate with each other. Separation is the safest distance. Breaking the separation means either fusion or destruction, but more often it is destruction, because we do not trust each other."

The question then becomes one of verification: "Does breaking down barriers mean communication?"

The sphere of light did not reply, and Jian Die asked again, "If you mean communication, can we merge into one large group with you?"

The light sphere replied, "Low-tech racial groups tend to be disadvantaged, and it's easy to distinguish between primary and secondary groups. We take the lead and control the outcome-oriented integration."

"understood."

Upon receiving this answer, Jian Die felt much more at ease. Knowing the power of the Radiant Civilization, what Jian Die least wanted to see was them showing destructive malice towards the great clan that had nurtured him.

Integration is the outcome that both sides hope to see.

As for whether it is credible, I don't know, but at least from the surface information, the result is good.

Kenjiro then asked, "How can we help you with the Kuroshio incident? Our technical capabilities are limited."

The sphere of light replied, "We will provide you with weapons to fight back. You will follow our commands and complete the tasks assigned to you."

……

One light-years away from where the superstructure spaceship disappeared, two atoms monitored the enormous ring.

It wasn't that the two players didn't want to go any further, but rather that they couldn't. Going any further would lead to a blind spot where quantum entanglement would be destroyed. If the Atomic Man wanted to enter, he would have to risk his life by setting up the Atomic Submachine as the main machine and abandoning all the Atomic Submachines to enter this area.

"Hey, tell me, is it going to work or not? I'm totally panicking right now," Old Lai asked his teammate.

His companion retorted irritably, "What's there to be a coward about? You were the most aggressive player when we were playing games, and now you know how to be a coward?"

Hearing his companion say that about him, Lao Lai retorted, "Playing games is playing games, how can you compare it to this? This is reality. If you fail, you can't start over, and you have to sacrifice the entire integration. How can I not feel pressured? Aren't you nervous at all? Don't you feel any pressure?"

"How could there be no pressure?" his companion said. "We are responsible for the survival of so many people in the complex. If we make a mistake, the complex's closed information system could be broken."

"But being anxious won't help; it will only affect your performance. I'll teach you a method to effectively relieve pressure and anxiety in judging the situation and the votes."

Upon hearing this, Lao Lai was overjoyed and immediately asked, "Is there such a good method? Tell me quickly."

“Greet Maple Taylor with the same warm greetings as always,” his companion said.

Old Lai was speechless. "This will work?"

The companion replied matter-of-factly, "How could it not work? I cursed Feng Taylor twenty trillion times in my mind, and my anxious and tense state of mind immediately calmed down. I call this the Taylor-style psychological counseling method..."

While the two were chatting idly, they received a message from other monitoring groups that the ship that had been carrying them had returned to its parent star system through the wormhole.

"The chess pieces have returned; there's nothing more for us to do here."

Old Lai called his companion, and the two atoms naturally drifted toward the nearest star, expected to arrive in two hundred years. Then, using the star's energy, they resumed their near-light-speed motion.

This was done to conceal the fact that the owner of the giant ring would not discover it.

……

Upon returning to his home civilization, he was warmly welcomed by his fellow countrymen.

The queen who had ordered him to depart had passed away, and a new queen had ascended the throne and personally summoned him.

Jian Die also truthfully reported to the Queen about his contact with the Hui civilization, the true nature of the Black Tide, and the cycle of the universe and its highest level of significance.

Everything seemed to have been accomplished perfectly, and Jiandie dragged his weary body into a deep sleep.

That night, in her dream, Kenji saw her teacher, U.

Kenji immediately stepped forward excitedly and wrapped his tentacles around the other's tentacles, saying, "Teacher, I have not let you down. I have completed that mission!"

"Is that large group a threat to us? Does it have malicious intent?" U asked.

He blurted out, "They are powerful, more powerful than we can imagine; they are also ancient, more ancient than I expected. But they pose no threat and harbor no ill will. As long as we remain on the same side as them, they will be our solid support..."

U nodded. "You did a good job. Now your locked memories can be returned to you."

As he spoke, a series of memories surfaced in his mind, amidst Jian Die's somewhat bewildered expression.

"What...what are these?!" Kenji exclaimed in disbelief.

This was his memory, and he was absolutely certain that he had been chosen by his teacher, U, to be a living probe to explore the Hui civilization.

Jian Die knew everything; his teacher, u, did not choose to hide anything from him and told him many things, such as the fact that he came from other civilizations.

The questions that He Hui asked when he came into contact with Hui Wenming were not what Jian Die originally intended to ask. His deep thinking had been influenced by a psychological suggestion planted by his teacher, so that when he thought about issues related to Hui Wenming, he would subconsciously think of these questions.

The fact that he was to be a living detector was with Kenji's consent, which also included the sealing of his memories. Therefore, after Kenji recovered these locked memories, he did not have any resistance.

“Teacher, is this not a dream?” Jian Die asked.

“You are dead. Now, what stands before you is someone else,” Old Lai reminded Jian Die, then continued, “This is a dream, but it is not a dream. To be more precise, this is your subconscious.”

"Now that your memory has returned, you should know what we need to do next."

Having regained his memories, Jian Die naturally understood what his teacher was referring to. His memories would be reviewed, and the content of his conversation with the Hui civilization would become a data package, which would be handed over to the unknown civilization behind his teacher.

As for what happened next, he was destined to die in an 'accident'—he knew too much.

"Please allow me to continue calling you teacher." Jian Die replied very respectfully, gazing sincerely at his teacher, and pleaded, "Teacher, I have a request, and I humbly request that you listen to it."

“Speak,” said Old Lai.

After organizing his thoughts, he replied, "You are the most respected scholar in the entire group. You have single-handedly elevated the group's technological capabilities to a cosmic scale. From the group's initial formation to the present, no one can compare to your contributions to the group. You are the first person in history to achieve this."

"The students have no other desires, nor do they expect to survive. They only beg the teacher not to abandon the group, as the group has nowhere else to go."

Having regained his memories, Jian Di naturally understood even more clearly how terrifying the struggle between the Radiant Civilization and the Black Tide was.

Due to the speed limit of light, the lizardmen have not yet observed the spacetime tearing phenomenon in the Milky Way, but Jian Die learned about it in advance from his teacher.

The more they learned about the horrors involved, the more lost they felt about the survival of their civilization. Even though the Radiant Civilization had promised civilizational integration, a promise was just a promise, and there was no third party to enforce it. Moreover, it was hard to say whether the Radiant Civilization could win in the struggle between the dominant civilizations of the galaxy. Jian Die could only place his hopes on the unknown civilization behind his teacher.

Old Lai said helplessly again, "I'll repeat myself, you are dead, I am someone else."

“No matter who you are, you are my teacher,” came the firm reply.

Faced with his student's sincere attitude, Lao Lai felt conflicted for the first time.

“I can’t make any promises to you, but I will try my best,” Old Lai said.

"Thank you, teacher!"

Old Lai's teammate asked somewhat absurdly, "Hey, Old Lai, are you crazy? Agreeing to such an unreliable thing."
