Chapter 113: Not Paying Back the Debts
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
The change in the Milky Way’s atmosphere did not attract Li Wenyuan’s attention. At that time, he was looking at the ‘ring’ in a special space with great interest.
...When he realized that only a ring had been formed after the ‘Watcher’s’ settlement, and it was such a huge ring, he had a new idea.
The big ‘ring’ seemed certain that it was invincible in that state, and it was even emitting some kind of psionic signal provocatively.
Although Li Wenyuan couldn’t understand it, he could roughly sense that this ‘ring’ seemed to be asking for a beating.
Those the size of a galaxy would take a long time to be bombed with a fleet, and that seemed to be what the ring relied on.
“…However, it is a pity that what it relied on is not enough…Didn’t humans educate them properly back then?”
At that moment, the ring was ‘grabbed’ into the sub-space. That space was similar to the void realm to a certain extent, but in fact, they were two completely different places.
Through that special space, those ’Presolins’ could cross the galaxy and come to this Milky Way.
And the ring didn’t seem to be able to return to the void realm like before.
As for what had ‘caught’ it, there was no need to say much.
“…This is the first time I’ve used the ‘Tiangang Battleship’…The effect is really beyond my imagination!”
Yes, it was the ‘Tiangang Battleship’ that had captured the ‘ring’ into the sub-space.
Its huge actual size was even larger than that of the ‘ring,’ so it was not a problem for it to suppress the ‘ring.’
It was hard to imagine how much material humans had used to build this ‘super battleship.’ Its massive size and mass made it impossible to enter the real universe because its own gravity could completely destroy it.
Only a place with chaotic physical laws, like a sub-space, could contain its body completely.
“Perhaps…this is actually a ‘wonder’ as well? After all, a battleship the size of a galaxy.. Just thinking about it makes me excited.” Li Wenyuan felt that he had gradually understood the way humans thought.
After all, with so much material that could be used to build almost anything, they built a ‘super battleship’ in the end.
Large ships and cannons had been a unique romance since a long time ago. Even if they might not be practical, they always make people feel passionate.
“…It’s a pity that its heroic appearance can only be seen in the sub-space. In the real universe….” Li Wenyuan recalled the true form of the Tiangang Battleship in space and felt helpless.
The ‘Tiangang Battleship’ was often revealed as a holographic projection device in the real universe. That projection device could project a part of the ‘Tiangang Battleship’s’ body, but it was usually a black veil that was nothing special.
The ‘Tiangang Battleship’ could occasionally send a small portion of its weapons to the real universe. However, it was still only a part of it. Although its firepower was comparable to an entire fleet, it was not its main body.
The place where it could truly show off was in the sub-space. Therefore, the ‘Tiangang Battleship’ was equipped with specialized components to engage in a ‘contest between large ships’ with the enemy.
[Sub-space Catcher (Heavenly Veil level)]
[Component Type: Combat Support Equipment]
[Introduction: With sufficient knowledge of sub-space, we can take the initiative to drag the enemy into sub-space and defeat them with our rich sub-space combat experience! The ‘Tiangang Battleship’ is a larger and stronger version. Its range of influence is enough to affect a galaxy of ordinary size!]
That was the equipment used to capture the ‘ring.’ When Li Wenyuan realized that the ‘ring’ was a little bigger than he had imagined, he had that idea.
After all, the true strength of the ’Tiangang Battleship’ had always been unknown. Perhaps the ‘ring,’ which was not too far away in size, could be used as a combat unit.
However, when the ‘ring’ was dragged into the sub-space, it seemed to have lost contact with the void realm. Other than the unexpected size, nothing else happened.
It didn’t attack, nor did it run away. The void realm also did not come to retrieve it.
That situation made Li Wenyuan, who was looking forward to a big battle, feel a little disappointed. However, it also made him realize that some places were not affected by the void realm.
“…Alright, I’ve at least gotten the ‘ring’ that ‘settled’ an entire lost empire and several interstellar civilizations. Perhaps it will come in handy in the future….”
Li Wenyuan couldn’t think of any use for this ‘ring.’ However, since it had lost contact with the void realm, he decided to leave it there. With the ‘Tiangang Battleship’ watching over it, there wouldn’t be any problems.
He even hoped the ‘ring’ would move a little so that the ‘Tiangang Battleship’ could warm up.
“…However, this is the third time the ‘End of Reincarnation’ has appeared in this universe in the history I know, right?” When his thoughts returned to the real world, Li Wenyuan felt that the frequency of the ‘End of Reincarnation’ appearing seemed to be a little high.
Although he did not think that anyone would sign this contract in the future, it was hard to predict people’s hearts, let alone a complicated civilization.
If someone signed it every once in a while, then before the crisis arrived, the Milky Way civilizations would be ‘wiped out.’
Moreover, he had to come out many times to clean up the mess. It was too troublesome.
Therefore, Li Wenyuan was prepared to enter the void realm to take a look and see what that ‘End of Reincarnation’ was like.
“…’Psionic Beacon’ is almost completed. When the time comes, we can perform the Void Realm Advancement to take a look.”
Therefore, after some time, Li Wenyuan controlled a research spaceship with a synthetic humanoid and arrived near the ‘Psionic Beacon’ that had already been built, ready to perform the ‘Void Realm Advancement.’
The ‘Psionic Beacon’ looked like a large space pillar that stood above the star and absorbed energy from the star to a spherical area covered in tremendous psionic energy at the top.
As long as it was activated, that area would temporarily form a ‘void realm passage’ that could be used to help one reach the void realm.
Although he would be expelled back to the real universe after the time was up, it was a small matter compared to his time in the void realm.
Therefore, Li Wenyuan directly activated the ‘Psionic Beacon’ and piloted the research spaceship with the synthetic humanoid into the ‘void realm passage.’
The space opened by the megastructure was much larger than the psionic crystal he had obtained from the ‘Emerald Tomb’. It was not a problem for several spaceships to pass through simultaneously.
With curiosity, Li Wenyuan again came to that strange space filled with nebula-like gas.
In the void realm, the direction was not important. Everything that could be encountered here depended on luck.
Most people would encounter unique things when they first enter this place, and they would pay the price or receive blessings through communication, perception, touch, and so on.
However, Li Wenyuan was different. As soon as he entered the place, the unique things in the void realm seemed to have encountered a plague, and they avoided him as much as they could.
As a result, he had not touched anything until now.
“…Is the void realm always so deserted?” Li Wenyuan, who was piloting the spaceship in the void realm, was still wondering if the void realm was always so deserted.
However, he did not realize that as he went deeper, whispers began to ring around the spaceship.
At first, it was very thin and intermittent, but it gradually became dense and chaotic, as if there were trillions of voices saying something.
Ordinary Psionic Caster might not have been able to persevere on this level. Only the ‘Chosen Ones’ and those with strong willpower could continue.
However, Li Wenyuan was different. Or rather, the rules in the void realm would only affect spiritual bodies.
Having entered the void realm through the ‘Psionic Beacon,’ he could not hear the crazy voices at all. The synthetic humanoid under his control remained expressionless, completely unaffected by the whispers.
Not until the passage maintained by the ‘Psionic Beacon’ was about to collapse did he finally encounter a familiar existence.
After experiencing the commotion of the ‘ring’ in the Milky Way several times, Li Wenyuan had already started to pay attention to things like the ‘ring.’
Even when he saw his own circular world, he occasionally associated it with the glowing ‘ring.’
Therefore, when a ‘ring’ made of Czero dust appeared on the horizon of the void realm, he felt that he had found the right place.
“This is the ‘End of Reincarnation’? Can it sign a contract with me?”
Li Wenyuan pushed forward curiously, and the ‘ring’ also noticed the strange thing approaching him.
It didn’t care at first. After all, there were all kinds of things here.
As always, it was prepared to provide gifts to the guy who could come here and collect interest later.
“Fifty…”
That was the translation of the psionic waves, but the ‘ring’ suddenly sensed something. Then, the entire body of the ‘ring’ trembled, and even the psionic waves were interrupted.
Then, before Li Wenyuan could react, the ‘ring’ collapsed, and only the surging Czero gas could be seen surging into the deeper darkness.
“…Where’s the ‘ring’?” Li Wenyuan was a little confused. He had only glanced at the Milky Way’s information record on the ‘void realm,’ but when he looked at the void realm again, he realized that the ‘ring’ was gone.
The passage the ‘Psionic Beacon’ opened had reached the last moment too. A strong repulsive force was transmitted from the void realm.
When he returned to his senses, his spaceship was still parked in the enormous energy field on the ‘Psionic Beacon.’ The long journey into the void realm seemed to be an illusion.
“…Looks like my luck isn’t too good. I’ll wait until I’m fully charged next time….”
Li Wenyuan only thought that he was unlucky, but the ‘End of Reincarnation’ in the void realm did not think so.
It felt a familiar aura, accompanied by a very long memory.
It was owed tens of thousands of years of debt by a group of people, but it did not dare ask them for it because they could fight into the void realm and chat with him.
Apart from that, those people even blocked the void realm before they left, causing it to lose contact with the outside world for a long time.
When the seal of the void realm was weakened, and it could influence reality again, it was going to collect those debts from other lives bit by bit.
But now that it felt a similar aura to that group of people, it just wanted to go far away so that it would not be owed a debt of tens of thousands of years..
