The Milky Way's past

To verify the path Huang Ji had laid out, the Truth Society held a meeting that lasted three days.

During those three days, news of the Abyss's destruction had already spread throughout the Milky Way.

Everyone who heard it was stunned. This was the greatest victory since the Star Alliance's founding.

The Milky Way had six major Dark Starry Sky regions, one in each of its five major spiral arms. The sixth lay between the Milky Way and the Canis Major Dwarf Galaxy, and was the principal area where the major civilizations harvested Void Lifeforms.

There were plenty of smaller Dark Starry Sky regions, but none of them amounted to much.

Only these six great Chaotic Lands were places the Star Alliance tacitly accepted as beyond the control of law and order.

Yet one of them had actually been wiped out! The Ninth Abyss lay in the Orion Arm. Its dozen or so Marauder Corps all possessed weapons from the micro-particle prosperity stage, while the Four Emperors controlled cutting-edge equipment from the peak of the micro-particle stage, with the Truth Society backing them.

The forces under Miaozun were also cozy with them, and no one knew how many deals passed between them in secret.

How had it all suddenly vanished?

News of the Abyss's destruction, the Four Emperors being brought to justice, and the Gamma Legion Leader's impending public execution instantly dominated trending searches across the Milky Way.

Stories included the resurgence of the Hundred Battles Skyworm and the Kunlun Empress capturing the Gamma Legion Leader alive to complete her revenge...

A million Star Shell divine warriors descending from the heavens to crush the Four Emperors. The Anunnaki president turning out to be a Tai Wei Hua fugitive and storming the Four Emperors' stronghold... These related events were hotly discussed
