Ronan gazed at the suddenly clarified architecture of the Core Radiation Zone, his thoughts drifting for a moment.
At that instant, he recalled some of the materials on the "calamity era" he had collected in the Test Spacetime. Some were detailed, others brief. They recorded how the Lord of Zhanhe and the various Great Monarchs then present in the Han Guang Star System had fought and struggled against the utterly unheralded surprise attack by the Six Heavens God Calamity and the Myriad Heavens Divine Kingdoms. They recorded how that short, brutal battle had warped parts of the Abyssal Spirit Net's framework and the spacetime structure around the Han Guang Star System, ultimately producing the terrifying negative effect known as "evil poison," which had persisted for more than ten millennia.
Of course, the materials also recorded the names of the powerful beings who had fallen in that battle or subsequently become trapped in the sin-poison environment: Dominators, Deities, and Great Monarchs, including the Lord of Zhanhe and the Lord of Illusory Nightmares, along with their subordinate gods, False Gods, and others.

Now, as Ronan looked at the complex, nested halos in the center, the clustered, converging star groups around them, the gaps and distances between them, and the invisible forces of attraction
